Things that are canon in the Venom comics: Symbrock

Eddie calls the Venom Symbiote “love” and “dear” multiple times, and calls the Symbiote his “other”.

The Symbiote considers their union as “just like marriage”.

The Symbiote, despite being at that time bonded to Mac Gargan, stopped Gargan from killing Eddie due to their long-time partnership. 

The Symbiote had a baby while bonded to Eddie, kept the pregnancy secret, but communicated to Spider-Woman that Eddie was the one it trusted to raise its baby right. Many, including Venom, referred to Eddie as “the father”. 

When separated by Venom’s other host and partner, Flash Thompson, Eddie and the Symbiote found each other solely by following their inherent connection. Eddie “followed the thread” to the Symbiote, and the Symbiote broke out through the faucet drain to find Eddie. 

There is no actual middle ground to the hard, completely canon fact that the Symbiote and Eddie Brock just… love each other, are obsessed with each other, and consider themselves to only be complete when together. 

These are central themes to most Venom-centric storylines, even in the 90s where you’d think the possible queer reading of the subject would be avoided by comics creators. But it seems like the fact that Venom is a genderless alien from a symbiotic race only bolstered the writers into having the relationship be read as, from a human perspective, romantic and extremely sensual, co-dependent and obsessive, but also tender and full of passion. 

The pairing of Eddie Brock and the Symbiote is canon. That is just a fact of their history. 

Abandoned farm home outside of town. There were 8 cars left there (The blue one pictured has a pitch fork in the windshield). There was still toilet paper in the bathroom, and pictures littered the counter. The basement wall had caved in and I couldn’t really go down there. All the mirrors and windows were broken, everything was left there. I have no idea what happened.

Absolutely bonkers shit that legitimately happens in NBC Hannibal (an incomplete list):

Will beats a furry to death while fantasizing about Hannibal getting off to being beaten to death

A man??? Gets folded into an origami heart???????

A villains actual honest to god evil plan is to steal Will’s face so that he can eat Hannibal’s penis with it

Said villain then gets eaten by his pet eel??? After having his sperm harvested so his sister’s girlfriend can bear his child and inherit his wealth??

Honestly just Mason Verger in general: ??????

That time Hannibal waves at another serial killer and says “hello I love your work” before killing him

Hannibal wears at least four patterns at the same time and no one gouges their eyes out or tells him it looks awful

I majored in English lit in college and I absolutely believe all the fanfics I’ve read have more literary merit than most of the published fiction I’ve gotten through. Fanfic writers are brave and ballsy and laughing and weeping. And they hold your hand. There’s so much contact between writer and reader, it’s visceral. And I think fanfiction is in part a reaction against the shame of an outdated community of people who attach all these rules and regulations and bullshit to the act of writing that they actually just limit their own ability to tell stories. So conclusively--fuck them and keep scrolling through all the cherik you can handle on a Tuesday.

Someone: do you like to read books?

Me: * thinks about all the gay fanfic I read at all times *

Me: yes.
