SYMBRUARY 2024

Symbruary returns with a full prompt list provided by YOU, the slime appreciation society. This February, draw something, write something, make something, and select symbiotes as your subject.

Apart from Marvel symbiotes, we're also celebrating any creatures from any other media (or your own imagination) so long as they bond to other creatures! Think the Tok'ra, Khaji Da, Eddie but not this one but the one from Guilty Gear...

1: xenobiology | 2: culture | 3: instinct | 4: bonds | 5: unusual pairs | 6: fix-it | 7: underappreciated goo | 8: iridescent | 9: hostless symbiotes | 10: in sickness/in health | 11: symbiote mecha | 12: symbiotify a non-symbiote character | 13: symby learning cold vs. warmth | 14: girls' night | 15: FREE DAY | 16: faith | 17: regret/apology | 18: dragons | 19: free! | 20: crunch | 21: research | 22: hive | 23: symbiotes wearing clothes | 24: symbiote ot3 | 25: learning something new | 26: yearning/longing/pining | 27: anti-venom | 28: cozy | 29: sibling rivalry

If your submission is safe for work, you can @symbruary or tag #symbruary to have it featured on the blog. We also have an ao3 collection.

Venom: verbally accept that Eddie needs quiet time sometimes, and mention some options for what it could do/who it could bond with in the meantime (Or this could be like a list of options on a whiteboard in the bg.)

End--credits scene:

Spider-man sees Venom break Cletus out of prison on cameras, then Eddie escaping from the Church aftermath

End Credits

Heads up: I'm probably going to stop with the outline, but if anyone wants to take it and make an actual fic, or a modified version of the movie script, or anything like that, be my guest! I'd love to see it, I just have too many wips already to actually get into the fic part. :)

Any other suggestions on things to change in this outline?

Regardless, I have at least one more post in this series: my initial re-write burst from right after I woke up, mentioned at the start of this all. I haven't looked at it since starting to write all this up, so we get to see what I've improved on or forgotten about since then.

Hopefully I will be finished @symbruary by May

Part 6/7?

Last line game! Rules: In a new post, show the last line you wrote (or drew) and tag as many people as there are words (or however many you like).

Thank you @anisecandy for tagging me sweetheart! I love tag games, I'm just a bit slow on the ball sometimes :}

So this WIP was meant for @symbruary Girls night, but I didn't have the spoons to finish it on time. Like, this was such a fun concept, and I love drawing wild freaky symbiote hair, but also. Goddamn.

Me, after finishing Carnage: "Whew, I don't think I'll be drawing symbiote hair in a while now."

My brain: "Hey, let’s put Scream, Mayhem and Agony all together in the next piece!"

Now, there are no words in this besides the title, so I guess I'll just tag some peeps then.

Hope you enjoy it!

Carnage Rewrite Part 4

Part 4/?

First / Second / Previous / Next Okay, looks like the consensus is that the institution sucks for Frances and the other inmates both, 0-1-3. Good to know. Also apparently her name is Shriek and not Scream. Sorry about that, my bad.

So, how did the movie go again? Lemme grab a scene-by-scene recap and summarize it.

Ok, that's a lot!

So lemme just...

I'll put the text in the readmore, but skip to "/summary" to skip.

Suffice it to say, it's got just as much trash as it does treasure. But it does give us something to work with!

Next time I'll make a list of storybeats from both the summary and the work we've already done here, and then synthesize them into a working outline.

Part 4/?

obligatory @symbruary even though it's now march orz

Thanks for participating! Since our prompt list was particularly inspiring this year, feel free to refer to it throughout the rest of the rest of the year, as well.

Simplest Venom

I made some Venom t-shirt designs for a silkscreen printing workshop I'm attending. Largely trying for a kind of art nouveau look, and this one is supposed to be the simplest option in case there is not much time. If any of them are something you'd like on a t-shirt yourself, let me know and I'll see what I can do.

Symbruary Day 14: Girls' Night

donna pov: you're just starting to get a handle on this whole symbiote host thing, finally relaxing, maybe even enjoying each other's company, and some murderous weirdo shows up to terrorize the amusement park...

shriek + red team-up bc I said so. where is cletus? idk, comatose. but what about shriek's, you know, shrieking? it doesn't matter; red is immune now. it's the power of girls' night, baby.

Scream vs Shriek is a great title, you know. very comic book

Alright I'm FINALLY done with this drawing of everyone's favourite murder gal! It's inspired by the scrapped original concept design for Carnage, and dedicated to @kitausuret and @reaperlight

Also, you know how surgeons wear green clothes to neutralise the visual overload of staring at 50 shades of red for hours on end? Yeah I had to sit next to my houseplants for the same purpose while drawing this.

Oh yeah, right, @symbruary day 15: Free day: Fancy-hairdo Carnage :3 Because I said so. And look at her, she is gorgeous with her hair out!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KITA!!! 💗💗💗

SymbiOT3 sketch for the amazing @kitausuret! It's inspired by her fic Dust to Dust, go read it if you haven't already because it is absolutely wonderful! Just can't get enough of these idiots being in love 🖤

I guess this can double as a @symbruary contribution as well 🤭 for 24: symbiote ot3, and also 17: regret/apology and 26: yearning/longing/pining, because there is A LOT of that in the sorce material (seriously, go read Dust to Dust, it's freaking splendid!)
