TWO THOUSAND AND THREE IS BACK, Y'ALL

(...deleted image from the Jenny from the Block music video, as apparently tumblr took it down from where I'd linked it?

In other news, the Let There be Carnage trailer also dropped this morning, so it has been quite the Monday for me, the one human in the universe who cares about both Bennifer and Eddie Brock & his alien bodymate shenanigans. WHOO.

Previous readers will remember my slight apprehension re: LTBC, but it looks like it'll be fun? Honestly as long as they don't a) give Eddie a love interest who doesn't know about Venom, or b) separate Eddie and Venom permanently, it'll probably be okay. Naomie Harris is officially playing Shriek, who is also a villain symbiote, so at first I thought they were lifting some beats from Maximum Carnage - but Stephen Graham is apparently playing a guy who ends up host to the Toxin symbiote so maybe they're just mixing up a bunch of stuff and setting it all in San Francisco. I am interested to see if the filmmakers make note of Carnage being Venom's spawn, and Toxin being Carnage's spawn.

I am pretty sure the tie-in scene that'll get tacked on the end will be something Morbius-related. Although that standalone movie already has a trailer, so maybe something suggesting a crossover? It happens in the comics. (Plenty of things happen in the comics... Eddie and the symbiote canonically bang... Eddie and the symbiote have a goo baby...)

My fandom5k story is progressing... I am at 4,600 words and I think I have all the necessary scenes started/sketched out, so now it's a matter of filling in the gaps and adding in some more of the main character looking at the other main character and thinking "I could make out with them", which I do not have enough of yet (but I have skipped ahead and written the kissing, and also the ending, so I do know where it's going). I think tonight I will make a checklist with all the missing bits listed and then start crossing them off as I fill them in.
