& PARASITE

I just wanna put a PSA. I don’t have it in my rules but I do have ADHD and ASD. If I’m doing something wrong I need to be told directly to stop! I don’t read into social cues and have immense anxiety when I’m not spoken to or given nonconfrontational behavour. Having very little social awareness is a disability of mine and I actively try and manage it but it requires communication to be overcome! With that being said, I fully pass the ball into all the court of my mutuals whenever you engage with me!

 I’m not somebody who gets upset at people for establishing boundaries. Don’t ever feel intimidated by me. I’m very approachable and if there’s ever an issue, you only need to talk to me about it and it’ll get sorted! 

Heads up!! Finals week is coming up so expect low activity on tumblr from now until the 12th!

( @symbicte· )   ›    one small starter , extra cheese !

     ❛     that’s because its not the same kind of symbiote as     …   er    ….   you guys. you’re one oaf sharing suit , and they’re a bunch of spiders that like me and only me. and they also hate it when you continuously drool all over them , you big lummox. eugh   ,   can’t you keep the tongue in your mouth for FIVE minutes ? you’re soaking me over here.    ❜

She was tiny, they were not. Who was she calling a 'Big Oaf'? ❝YOU ARE SMALL. THAT IS AN ISS-UE, NOT AN ISH—ME. AND WHO ARE YOU COMING A LUMMOX, YOU PINT-SIZED PINK PUN—❞  

The white eyes narrow, the hulking figure squinting towards her. It was almost audible to hear the gears turning in their head. It sniffs the air, or at least that’s what it looks like. The tongue snapping back into their mouth at the request almost as if one had casually mentioned to straighten up a tie, even if it does so with a small grumble. Regardless their attention snapped back after a moment, tone shifting with an almost offended growl and huff. .     

heads up activity’s gonna be a bit wonky over break, just finished up midterms and I got two term papers I gotta do so replies might be done sporadically! tho you can catch me on discord! just lmk who you are before you add. 

There was a buzzing sensation every time she touched this creature. She wasn’t super fond of this feeling but she knew what it felt like to be a fish out of a water, and despite the slight inconvenience it was to deal with Venom, she chose kindness over self-preservation right now. But perhaps….that wasn’t the best idea.

Hearing the voice made her jump, hands unconsciously lighting up with Starbolts in preparation for some sort of enemy or threat. But she looks around and can find none. Whatever she was facing, hearing - was inside her head, and it was an uncomfortable sensation. At least, at first.

There was little left of Venom outside of her, and at this point, the symbiote was pretty much dissolved into her body. Koriand'r attempted to calm herself, biting her bottom lip hard and looking at her hands to try and quell the energy bursting from them as a mechanism for defense.

“I….I do not like this. Please, get out of me.” She swallowed back nerves, feeling chilled, goosebumps on her exposed body. “Venom….we…I…Please. I will not ask again nicely.”

❝ NO! ❞  

There’s panic in the voice. In her mind, she feels a glimpse of fear that isn’t her own. It’s not a control over her emotions, but rather its almost like a second set of input. Unnerving, certainty, but it’s distinct in that it doesn’t highjack her own senses. 

There’s an empathic connection, one that tells her what the entity within her feels. Afraid. And in this case, fear that Koriand’r was no less than that of the entity inside her. It brews in silence after a moment or two. Emotions flash through her mind, though they didn’t impose themselves onto her own psyche. It was a sensation that was distinctly inhuman, as if to a degree she could sense the thoughts and of the alien presence within her. 

There was desperation, fear, and a distinct survival instinct. But regardless, the voice takes on a calm. It comes out gentle, registering and knowing her fear and responding to it in a way that almost attempted to be calming despite it’s own state of distress. 

❝ ...I CAN’T DO THAT. ❞  

Guilt from the other entity pangs in her head, as if the being itself didn’t like the fact that it frightened her. It’s voice drifts between desperate and frightened, but it still speaks as if attempting to be gentle. Just like Kori once was, there was a feeling of being a fish out of water being on Earth. But this creature, Venom, was more vulnerable and they knew it.

Koirand'r had seen many strange things in her lifetime. She had been a prisoner of war, used as a slave, adjusted to life on Earth, fought OTHER aliens and supervillains to protect a planet she now calls home, etc. etc. But the thing before her.....was it a thing? The...creature before her perplexed her more than she could vocally explain.

The woman was bent forward, only to crouch down onto her knees to get a better look at the slime...er...goop in front of her. Did it have eyes? Why did it look like it had eyes? She carefully extended a slender orange finger, letting the slime (thing) cover the tip of her finger, and to her surprise, it moved, perching on her finger like some sort of rodent.

"Hello, little slime friend. Please do not be scared. I do not intend to hurt you. I would just like to understand....what you are? " She tilted her head, bringing her other hand forward so she could cup as much as the symbiote into her hands and bring it to her lap, hovering in the air now with Venom sitting in the seat of her lap. "Do you have a name? I am Starfire."

Her hands meet the symbiote, and it almost begins to dissolve. As the Tamarinian touches the creature and brings it into herself, less and less of it appears to be visible. Like trying to cup water in one’s hands over a sink, it’s as if it’s material disappears the more she holds it. It takes time to register and she certainty has time to react. 

Her nerves light on fire a moment after, it’s like something snaps into every neuron and makes it fire in a single sensation . Every touch sensation, every smell, every sound triggers once in a single burst - Like something else had touched her mind and read every sensory experience at that instance in time. 

Then, she hears a response. It’s voice isn’t distinct, but it does fluctuate towards a masculine sound. Not out loud, but almost like it came from her own head. 

❝ I AM VENOM. I AM INSIDE YOU. WE NEED A HOST. ❞  

The host they had attached to, it clashes against the Symbiote’s previous stations. They were accustomed to violence, grit, hate. Suddenly, however - They were flooded with compassion. Kindness. Gentleness. The immediate chance unsettles them, but it is not bad. It’s different. But then the symbiote resonates with what they had said, their own understanding contrasting against Koriand’r’s own. Oh.
