( let the record show that eddie brock never claimed to know how to cook. like, at all. burger? sure. hot dogs? easy. microwave mac 'n' cheese? perfect. but whatever recipe venom pulled off of pinterest was clearly far beyond their combined skill level, and venom shouldn't even be allowed that close to the stove, considering, so it's no surprise the diane's perfect, sweet, homey kitchen in currently in flames. )
Oh, God. Ohgodohogodohgod—
GOD CANNOT HELP US! IT IS BECAUSE WE DID NOT COMPLETE THE SACRIFICE!
The kitchen isn't on fire because of a dumb sacrifice; it's because you think you know everything!
THOSE INSTRUCTIONS WERE FOR BABIES.
( the best thing venom can do here is pull back and let eddie handle this on his own, because symbiotes and fire aren't exactly friends, and eddie is a big boy who can figure this out by, apparently, panicked shouting. )
resting
( hosting a secret santa felt like a great idea at the time — and, really, it still is. but eddie may have misjudged how much work goes into a thing like that. on top of helping diana with her burgeoning new business, eddie is becoming a whole new person.
it's kind of neat.
but all that work leaves him more than a little burned out by the end of the day, so claiming the couch for a nice, corny holiday movie sounds about perfect.
come join him! )
singing
( venom's taste in music is like that of an old grandpa. eddie's gotten used to it, but he doesn't know how an alien comes from outer space with a love for barry manilow and ella fitzgerald. they're before eddie's time, which means they're super before venom's time... time on earth, that is. venom loves to remind him that he's, like, a million years old, which means this music is honestly afterhis time.
regardless, venom insists on dragging at least one of his housemates (or a non-housemate, if he can't find anyone to join him) around the town to carol with him because, quote, IT IS TRADTION, EDDIE! DO NOT BE A SQUARE, end quote. ) It's not unusual to be loved by anyone It's not unusual to have fun with anyooooone But when I see you hanging about with anyone It's not unusual to see me crryyyyyyyyy Oh, how I want to die!
