#so when I was in schooling for power plant work #my applied electrical theory instructor told us abt this thing his crew had #called The Load Toad #who was a totemic frog statue that was long ago bought for the plant #and was displayed over the switchboard for all the distributed loads (hence the name) #apparently The Load Toad was a force everyone in electrical division sincerely believed needed to be appeased #and the ritual for doing so involved the blood of a virgin (easy to get in a nuclear power plant tbh) and chicken bones #you'd burn the bones in a burning bowl after splashing them with the virginal sacrifice #ANYWAYS apparently one time they got a new head who was either devout Methodist or Mormon I forget #and he made them stop like all of that with firing threats n criminal threats too #then every day for a month 4 loads would randomly inexplicably fail #at first he blamed the men for acting out the Toad's vengeance #but after babysitting down in the pit himself he could see that all the failures were borderline miraculous n impossible to anticipate #so without admitting his wrong he just threw a kfc bucket full of bones into the breakroom and curtly said "just make it stop" #moral of the story I actually agree with this sentiment

Every other time the symbiote leaves a host in this series, the host stays awake. The Symbiote in this series had so little respect for my man, it literally shuts the lights out on its way out like it owns the damn place.

You’re standing next to a guy waiting for a bus and glance at him and realize his shirt is made out of sinewy meaty tendons just draping itself over this normal man’s body. A stiff cold breeze blows and you notice the shirt thickening visibly, the sleeves oozing more downward to shelter uncovered forearms.

“I talk to myself,” he tries to say at the same time that you assure him that you didn’t see anything. You know that he’s lying and that he knows you’re lying.
