I just realized “I’ve survived the Mike Costa Transformers comic, I can survive whatever 2018 Marvel Venom dish out. It won’t be worse then that.” Must be a very confusing statement to comic Venom fans lol
LMFAO earlier today I was JUST thinking about what a bizarro plot twist this is, as a person in both of these fandoms?
2009: Mike Costa writes some of the actual worst comics in human history, so bad that their notoriety spread beyond the Transformers fandom. Mike Costa claims that the Transformers aren’t real people with real emotions, and can’t have relationships because there aren’t any girls.
2012: James Roberts swoops in with More Than Meets The Eye, decides that all the Transformers are actually gay and live in a homonormative society, and gives us a buffet of canon queer relationships.
(We cross over to a parallel universe or alternate timeline, probably)
2016: Mike Costa writes Venom and gives us a tender, domestic, and fully queer story about a man and alien being struggling to overcome their checkered histories to be better for themselves and each other. Eddie and Venom both make a real effort to improve the communication and trust in their relationship, grow together as people, and have a child that Venom wants to raise in Eddie’s image.
2018: Don Cates writes Venom and begins the process of aggressively no-homo’ing Costa’s run by looping us back to the 2000s and making sure to loudly proclaim how terrible Eddie and Venom are and always have been for each other, how they don’t even like each other actually, and how their whole relationship is in fact nothing more than a toxic metaphor for Angst and Darkness!!11!1
HAHAHHAHA THANK YOU FOR WRITING THE HISTORY OUT
Mike “Transformers can’t love because they have no females” Costa
?
?? Alien abduction?? Some sort of Enlightment?? Mirror Verse Crossover??
?
Mike “Symbiote and Eddie Brock are in love this is a love story” Costa
This is all I’ve been thinking since venom movie happened… “wait, THAT costa? Transformers can’t love because they have no girls Costa? I thought we weren’t talking to him.”
He learned a lesson, I guess o:
So my takeaway of this is that Mike Costa’s heart grew three sizes and somebody needs to yank the Venom comics out of Don Cates’ hands and give it to James Roberts.
James Roberts’ Venom would be a SIGHT TO SEE. Venom’s planet would gain this whole complex sociopolitical backstory, his romance with Eddie would be a 70-issue slow burn, there would be a mix of body horror and tentacled fan service …
Whelp, THIS certainly has gotten out of hand This quick comic is based on a piece of fanart I received from @cardinalart with her Volcarona Kanaya lovingly warming Dusk because she thinks he’s cold. And meanwhile he is dying on the inside. I think this is the first time my Swanna gets mentioned by her name…? OH WELL, here is savage Jenna for all of you :’D
venom is just ideal…. loving boyfriend…. eat bad guys….. gives you a fast metabolism….. can’t die as long as eat chocolate and potatoes….. constant attention….. just as much of a loser as you….. big tongue….. sexy teeth….. flexy slime….. god there is no downside to him honestly. eddie’s a lucky damn man
Tho he can’t fix anyone without installing extra weaponry. I mean how could anyone truly be whole without MORE GUNS?
Imagine if he’s a healer but like, with a catch. The catch is he’s kinda unpredictable in terms of what the end result is, so it’s like 50% chance of being healed to full health, 20% chance of Surprise New Weapon*, 20% chance he jacked you full of too much energy and you’re drunk, and 10% chance he slaps a few patches on any obvious damage, says “GET BACK IN THE BATTLE YOU LAZY HEAP OF SCRAP” and yeets you across enemy lines where you do damage as a projectile.
*no, you don’t get a say in what kind of weapon it is; there’s a 30% chance it drains your ammo/energy at an inconvenient rate, a 20% chance of medical consequences due to it being badly installed, and a 5% chance per battle that it’ll explode at some point.
Petition to refer to TERFs as FARTs, which stands for Feminist Appropiating Reactionary Tranaphobe
“Trans-Exclusionary-Radical-Feminist,” when you think about it, is a VERY kind term. To be called a TERF is for the person to admit that they still consider you a feminist.
But what kind of feminist excludes so many women from their movement? If you hate so many women for what they are, you really don’t deserve to be called any kind of feminist, radical or otherwise.
Anti-trans people: Stop calling us terfs it’s insulting
