So my spouse and I were talking, and y’all know how in the movie Riot gets like, way bigger once he absorbs Venom/Eddie? Well Riot was already bigger and stronger, and had weapons way beyond Venom’s own abilities. What if he’d already absorbed other symbiotes before?
My spouse jokingly said “what if they’re like hamsters, and they eat (absorb) their babies after birth?” Or alternatively what if it’s like a “survival of the fittest” up there? Venom said he was a loser, so maybe there’s a running gauntlet of symbiotes absorbing other symbiotes to gain strength? The runts/weaklings get booted out (absorbed)?
Okay but then this gives us the possibility: poor, smol Venom symbiote alone on their home planet just trying to survive because they’re a loser and all the other symbiotes pick on them/try to eat them. Then they get brought to Earth and at first they’re like “this f’n sucks” but then they bond with Eddie and are like “hey!! Another loser!!” But no, with this loser Venom can be strong !! They’re finally not a loser anymore !!
If I may add!
If the symbiotes can kinda, absorb each other without actually eating each other (ie. riot gained power and size by simply absorbing venom rather than actually eating them) I wonder if the more times a symbiote gets absorbed, the more of themselves they lose to the absorber. I propose, that venom was not always a loser, but their kind and trusting nature made them an easy, manipulative target. The other symbiotes took advantage, and stripped venom of all the things that made them super powerful, and was then mocked for not only being powerless (relatively speaking) but also for being so trusting.
(I also support this headcanon, it gives me lots of feels. Eddie being the first one who doesn’t just use them or treat them like a tool but actually cares about them. Venom’s empathy and trust being a tool that makes them stronger instead of being seen as a weakness….I love it)
Tea- has a lot of plant life around their desk, has a study schedule they follow, colourful notes, v organised, studies before class, little but often
Hot chocolate - eats a lot of food when studying, messy handwriting, procrastinates a lot, random motivation bursts, has too many pens, mind maps, loves the smell of coffee but hates coffee
Coffee - probably hasn’t slept in 7 years, “we had homework?”, uses only black pen, minimalistic notes, flash cards, uses only one highlighter
energy drink - the most unorganised person you will ever meet, actually has no idea 24/7, hyper af, barely makes it to class,
