Need Love

“Yes, human is food, but I like some of them: My host boyfriend Eddie, Anne, her fiancé who is now kinda likable, Mrs. Chen, maybe even if she does not stock up chocolate. Those random colorful humans at that one noisy party. Yes yes, I like them. I want to protect them.”

Ok I said I won't be able to find it, but it found the tweet. Much too late but thank you everyone for informing me ; v ;~~

Yo waht

Chocolate

Eddie’s ass

Considering that Klyntar (Venom species) is instinctively violent, moralless, and would eat everything, Venom is adapting so well to human standard just for Eddie.

Consoling your bf when he’s sad, not eating human ‘cause bf will be mad, saying sorry when you did something that bf told you not to, taking care of bf when he’s reckless or stress?? Many times Venom talked to Eddie in such gentle tone, I was shocked?? Couldn’t believe I got to see that in theater.

And the rave scene?? Venom left Eddie to be alone and could have done whatever they want, eat whoever they want now, but they chose to chill with a bunch of human?? Probably cause those were not bad guys and Eddie told them we only eat bad guys??

This movie’s crew really said: We’re going with Gentle protective boyfriend Venom and we’re not going back!

So I have some thoughts about Legosi. Remember this very early scene? This creepy shadow was telling Legosi to unleash the carnivorous instinct in him and eat Haru.

It’s supposed to be Legosi’s inner voice that he buried, I guess? But I always find it odd. Like, That is not a wolf. There’s no ears. That does not look like a wolf at all. But I kinda forget about it as the story progress.

However, Paru’s design for human Legosi reminded me of it again.

Haru and Louis was pretty much expected for me, but Legosi throws me completely off guard. You would not expect a wolf to have a human form like this. It looks reptile-like. I bet Gosha in human form will look exactly like this, maybe with shorter hair. And this makes perfect sense because many animals in the manga have been saying how much Legosi resembles his grandpa, especially the face. So when we shred off the outer appearance of a wolf, Legosi is innately more of a Komodo dragon?

What this tells me is that, Paru had always been very conscious about the Komodo blood in Legosi. This opens up another topic. We know he has a rough past of seeing how his mother passed away, and generally being discriminated for his grandpa being komodo, but that does not convince me of how much he’s afraid of his carnivore self.  He’s too timid and careful compared to any other carnivores we’ve seen. It’s like he’s traumatized of how strong and blinded he can get as a carnivore.

So, I’m guessing the shadow from the early chapters is actually the Komodo in him talking, most likely himself when he was very young, before he met Jack for sure. His Komodo self is a lot more violent than his wolf self and when he was a child, he lost control at some point and something horrible happened, which resulted in him associating his carnivorous-self to a more reptile appearance. I’m thinking deep down, he thinks he’s more easily losing control than other carnivores because he’s a hybrid. This discouraged him to talk to Gosha for 5 years once he left home, but at the same time he’s fascinated by Melon for the exact same reason, he’s conscious of the fact he’s hybrid. 

There’s a theory going around that Legosi will grow his fangs back with venomous glands, and with this line of thinking, it’s pretty possible. I’m sure he will grow his fangs back, but I truly hope it doesn’t come with venom bc holy hell he already has a hard time getting with Haru. Venoms will make this 100x worse. He hasn’t even kissed Haru on the mouth!

Melon easily becomes 1 of my fave character aside Legosi and Louis. From the get-go I could tell he’s a great villain that will split the fandom, you either hate him or love him. I was indifference at first, I only appreciate his potential as a character. But now I really come to root for him. I mean, if I have to eat sand for 20+ years of my life, I’ll grow psychopathic too, very understandable. And the way he was bullied? Holy sht those kids almost killed him, what if he can’t land like a leopard?? I have no sympathy for them. Kids can be cruel.

I won’t excuse for all the crime he did. Even if it’s understandable, it’s still terrible, and it’s his own choices. If Legosi were half and not 1/4 komodo and got bullied the same way, I bet he won’t turn out a murderer. Cause he has more good boy blood in him I guess. But I don’t think Melon is born evil either. If he was protected and well-loved, he’d have turn out fine. Oppressed yeh, but not villainous. I wonder what his parent were doing when he was young. Anyone bullying Legosi would’ve caught some hands from grandpa Gosha.

Now I just want Melon to get the taste he deserves T A T Maybe not from Haru or any live animal but like, ANYTHING. He also deserves love, give him all the hugs T A T I know he killed lots of animal, so he’ll either go to jail or get killed along the way. But I’ll tell you, which is a theory but can be a spoiler. If this type of character survives and gets what they deeply want (not their evil deeds. In this case, it’s Melon ability to taste), they’ll become at least antihero and a great force in the future for the protagonist. He’s already pretty chummy with Legosi as they’re both hybrid, the potential is there. Also, I would categorize him as a pretty villain. This type rarely dies or stays villains for long. If he does die, I hope he at least go with peace. My baby T A T.

I usually have random thoughts when I read manga. For ex, this page right here is quite freaking scary.

If you read the manga up to this part, you already knew that Louis was raised in cages as livestock and only got out because Oguma (his now adopted father) bought him. But there was another red deer in the building. A healthier, more frequently preferable one. It was extremely close that Louis would not get chosen and got eaten later on.

But on the other hand, he got chosen. Then what became of the other red deer, who was also very close to getting out alive??

I’d say among all the dark things this manga has brought up, the idea of this livestock market is the only one that keeps haunting me. If you think about how sexual desire is frequently intertwined with feral carnivorous instinct in this manga, this market very much resembles child trafficking and child prostitution.

I mean like, poor little Louis. Look at that.

On another note, I always thought Louis looks quite small for a deer. He’s well proportionate with a small head, which gives the false impression that he’s decently tall but no. He’s quite small even for a deer. Like, look at him vs his dad.

Him. TINY.

And this is Legosi next to a couple of deers, who’s around his shoulder height

And this is Legosi next to Louis. And up to the recent chapters I’m pretty sure Legosi got bigger so Louis’ head can barely reach his chest now.
