( oh, ripley, you poor, sweet man. venom is cackling in delight while

eddie is doing his best to look sympathetic and not like ripley’s f-bomb was adorable. )

Hey, V, I think the people would really love to check out your look… they might even think it’s a costume.

( the prospect of showing off to people just how cool and tough and strong he looks without needing to wear a costume is inspiration enough for venom to split off from eddie—for now—and find someone to impress. )

…That was really brave of you, Rips.
