@nerdvenom
thanks tumblr for bringing the Good Post to me today! I would as an artist depict Eddie being a bit more enthusiastic though
“That’s it, baby, wrap those tentacles around me!”
I could not choose how I like the picture, so I post both variants
venom was finally released yesterday on my country and THE HONEYMOONNNN🧎🏻🧎🏻🧎🏻
I can’t believe this is canon and i feel so blessed by this Q0Q
this ones for the monster fuckers out there
sexy reminder to any aliens out there (by which i mean the venom symbiote specifically) that i am human. and available. for human experiences, human touch and human connection. contact me.
reworked this piece that i drew a couple years ago and have never been very happy with the finish on! i still think the actual drawing is really cute so i wanted to recolor it and try to do it justice this time. mullet eddie fans rise up
ftr i do think and know that all these interviews like oh you know, venom coming out (but not like that) venom love story (but not like that) are simply INCREDIBLY explicit and straight-forward baiting, but then i did have that on my bingo card.
of course it's also like, bait is only harmful if it's in a trap. piece of cheese that snaps your head off when you go for it, bad. piece of cheese that turns out to be made of paper machè, eh. disappointing, but in a world of freely available cheeses, whatever. maybe i should've just looked in the cheese aisle instead of expecting the cardboard factory to produce it. you know? i don't think i have to, like, be very grave about this or refuse to enjoy it or call it out as particularly more predatory than most marketing or the very existence of these studios. like, venom being the man-assed musclebeast mascot of san francisco and getting emotional about missing his host at a rave, covered in rainbow glowsticks, explicitly "inspired by the lgbtqia" and "coming-out parties", is still fun in that very early 00s way these movies have about them, you just have to be aware (and yes i know the spoilers, yes i know this isn't actually a gay alien romance) that fun aesthetics is what it is. you are now immune to getting baited, you are just coming for what was advertised. think of the alternative, a completely straight-laced movie about eddie brock gravely considering his Demons and Darkness as the symbiote looms over him without a hint of camp. who wants that.
i think if this were the 1st movie coming out and we had nothing solid as a frame of reference for the tone or whatever it could feel a bit less irritating. but we've HAD a movie before and this is a sequel and we know the last one was dumb fun so they might as well have put the dumb fun we're already expecting front and center of marketing instead of relying on these baity antics.
i think if they had used bait more subtly like with the rave scene for instance by simply saying it's "lgbt inspired" without straight up saying "this is venom's coming out party" or whatever (when you Know it won't be like what they're hinting at) it would've felt less explicitly baity at least.
and yeah i agree that it would've been predatory regardless as the nature of these studios is what's predatory first and foremost. and i also agree that part of the issue is "resolved" by just being aware that it's bait so you won't be fooled by the marketing and then get frustrated at the movie. but regardless it leaves a gross taste in my mouth.
like to me the issue of the bait here is less so about like going for the cheese and getting beheaded vs just finding out it's fake cheese. and moreso that like... i don't NEED this chese. you gave me paper mache before and i enjoyed it so why are you pretending you'll give me something else this time when we both know you won't?
and also like. if we both know that you giving me the paper mache in itself was predatory regardless: why put it under a box propped up by a stick this time?
fwiw comments like the "coming out" one WERE clarified in the interview, they're just increasingly losing context. but yes, of course it's ALSO understandable to feel that you're being fucked with for no reason and resent it
Venom at his coming-out party
1) little simz my love... what an unexpected treat... i thought it would be gauche to associate her venom with venom but it sure is an upgrade
2) "venom spotted in gay bar" "ok? fork spotted in kitchen come on now"
They love spaghetti :[
