The tang of blood was in the air and for a moment, Karina was back at the Black Diamond, her grandfather's personal fighting ring. It had taken years before she was even allowed to watch matches, let alone participate. It was not the thing, to have Printsessa be exposed to blood and carnage. At least, that had been the thing before they realized just how deep her fangs really went.

Fangs that were carefully kept now, as she surveyed the fighting ring of the Pits. Matches apparently were quite common every day and despite the atmosphere of excitement as the recent match ended, there was a hush around the Pits that seemed subdued, as if any rowdiness would invoke a wrath not meant to be stirred.

"If I had known you had such a punch, zaya, perhaps I should not have ended things between us, yes?" Her voice was a soft hush, still easily discernible as she put herself in the path of the victor. "I had missed you so," With the purr of a lover, she stepped close, and heeding not the smell of sweat and blood on him, embraced Arwyn.

As Lio's groan broke the silence, Karina felt a pang of relief wash over her. She had been holding her breath, waiting for any sign of his recovery, and now that he was stirring, she allowed herself to relax just a fraction.

Slowly, Karina shifted back into her human form, her muscles protesting the transformation as she settled beside Lio. She felt his arm wrap around her waist, a gesture that filled her with a sense of warmth and reassurance.

But as she met his tired gaze, Karina couldn't help but notice the confusion flickering in his eyes. She knew she owed him an explanation, but the words caught in her throat, tangled in the web of uncertainty and fear that still lingered within her.

Eirwen's hurried intervention broke the tension, as she rushed to cover Karina's nakedness with a flurry of clothing pieces. She tried not to smirk, amused by her friend's scandalized voice. Karina wasn't at all embarrassed by her nakedness. The feel of his warm body beneath her was both relief and pleasure, even as she cursed her mind for immediately jumping to admiring his muscles after he nearly died.

Languidly, both due to the strain of her muscles and to reassure Eirwen that she wasn't bothered by showing skin, Karina straightened. Rising from laying atop Lio, she gave him a secret look, as if words were not enough. And for a moment a flush coated her cheeks at their positions now.

"Funny that I didn't think I'd end up naked with you tonight, lyubmiya." Her smile was sly as she stretched, pushing her long blonde locks away from her skin. Playfulness put aside for a bit, her eyes raked down his chest, a brief frown appearing at his wound.

"We need to go to the hospital," She dismounted from him, putting on her clothes as she met Eirwen's eyes. "I apologize for having to call you here, Eirwen. I am grateful, beyond even." Her eyes were sincere.

In a reboot/reimagining of X-Men Evolution, what if the Spider-kids were there, too, with maybe Aunt May and another Spider-adjacent adult, and they were their own group, along with the Brotherhood and X-Men... And then there is Reader, a spider mutant, who is now stuck in the middle of the three groups, and is trying to stay neutral and out of their way? More-or-less wanting to stick to themself, but not cold or aloof, just someone who may be slightly uneasy around them, yet is friendly or at the least amicable?

Like, imagine the Spider-kids consist of Peter Parker/Spiderman, Miles Morales/Spin, Gwen Stacy/Ghost Spider, maybe with their friends/enemies as Spider-kids too, like Harry Osborn but with Carnage, or a green crab spider or orchard spider theme, Mary Jane Watson or MJ with her symbiote or with a trapdoor spider theme, maybe Flash with the Venom symbiote or with a tarantula theme... Reader I can see being a wolf spider, orbweaver, or jumping spider mutant. Especially if they are related to or an experiment involving the DNA of one of the adult mutants.

Would the X-Men and Brotherhood try to get the Spider-teens at some point to join their groups? Probably. Would it work? I think it depends on what the options are and how stable their powers are. Would they be more spider-like? Yes. The Venom symbiotes could be anything from aliens to experiments to even an alternate personality. Or they could be with the adults? It's undecided as of the moment.

Characters that won't be included in this au are Eddie Brock and Miguel O'Hara. I like them, for the most part, but I'm not sure how to write them. I do like Venom, but I'm sticking more along the animted versions of him, as that works better with this AU.

A name for this AU could be the 🕸Silken Threads and Venomous Webs🕷 AU...

Either way it goes, it sounds like a fun AU to me, and I hope to be able to bring it to life a little. Thank you for reading, and have a great day or night 💛🧡🍯🐝

As Hyunseok and his secretary finalized their conversation, the air in the upscale Seoul restaurant seemed to subtly shift. A new presence made itself known, commanding attention without effort. Karina, prodigy of Koschei, entered the private room with an aura of confidence and poise.

Draped in an elegant ensemble that exuded sophistication, Karina offered a polite nod to Hyunseok and his secretary before taking her seat. Her sharp gaze, the color of steel, assessed the room with a calculating intensity before settling on Hyunseok. Deep down however, Karina was a bundle of nerves. This is the first time her grandfather had let her meet one of his potential business partners. All the way to Seoul no less. She had an entourage, but for this meeting, she preferred to gather her courage on her own.

Her clothes were chosen precisely for that reason. And for the first time since in a long time, Karina had abandoned the spectacles and wore contacts, enough for her eyes, almost reptilian in their color shine through.

"It's a pleasure to finally meet you, Mr. Cho," Karina greeted in a voice as smooth as silk, her Russian accent lending an exotic allure to her words. Thankfully the accent helped hide her actual nerves. "My grandfather apologizes he could not be here today, at his age, the doctor recommends he stay in Moscow. I am surprised your own father suggested Seoul, but I can understand the appeal." The smile was polite almost discerning.

[ H & Karina ] A Lover’s Broken Oath

With @mpkarina

In the past…

It had only been months since the failed wedding, and Hyunseok was already back in the grind of his work. Meetings done left and right with suppliers and those they supply parts, software, and other things. It was easy to return back to his life, especially now that he’s not locked to an engagement anymore. His parents are still unhappy about what had happened, but he’s learned to just… move on with his life.

With him still being the sole heir to the company, he’s still the one to meet with their future business partners, learning the ropes and such.

Hyunseok, now clad in his suit, walks into one of the high end restaurants in Seoul with his secretary to meet a foreign business partner that his parents had asked him to meet with as they are currently out of the country. He had reserved a private room for them to have their meeting in.

He speaks with the waiter to ask them to wait until their guest arrives before coming to take their orders, then turns to his secretary as they leave to finish up the conversation they had on the way to the restaurant straight from their office.

@ru5t ↳ starter call

Anyone in the area knows to point those with any sort of vehicular trouble to Rev and Ven; the pair could fix up anything for a reasonable price. If Rev couldn't fix it, it was too far gone for fixing. So no one is particularly surprised to see strangers drop in, cars limping along or walking their bikes to Rev’s garage. Babies always ran like new out of it after Rev’s tender loving touch.

Ven is on a stool just inside the garage, watching for customers, while Rev works on Rose’s bike. She notices Tech’s approach, waits until she’s close enough to bother calling out. “Engine trouble?”

A quick glance at her wife tells her Rev is near a stopping point, so Ven reaches to the switch and flicks the lights off and on twice to get her attention. Rev looks up, sees Tech, and nods to Ven, holding up two fingers. Ven nods back, and Rev returns to Rose’s bike, finishing off her task before standing, wiping her hands on a rag as she approaches. “Engine trouble?” She signs to Ven. Ven shrugs back.

reposting my old twitter thread regarding venom (2018), which a friend once said should be printed on the back of the dvd case. screenshots aren't working but they'd be redundant with the image ID anyway. if you want the 🌟Full Experience🌟 the original thread is [here].

[1/10] ok i just watched the venom movie for the first time and yall? let me level with you. real talk. full frontal honest hot take.

shit was amazing.

[2/10] like you know that whole shit with video games where people just get so into it and the completionism and the competitive scene and the graphics and whatever and youre like yeah ok but is it like. fun

thats me with venom vs mcu

[3/10] like goddamn. i had fun. i loved it. i saw it and it was an enjoyable experience for me and i liked watching it.

with mcu im all no i get that this is an installment of a series that has a greater overarching plot and shit but like.... am i gonna enjoy it? at all?

[4/10] me looking at mcu movies like am i gonna feel an echo of an iota of entertainment anywhere in my being at any point during this movie or nah?? and most of the time its a solid nah!!! but tom hardy just showed me a good goddamn time!!!!!

[5/10] like man. you talk about disaster characters? i thought i had seen disaster characters. eddie turbofucks his life into the ground with great prejudice. he makes dysfunction an art form. he hits rock bottom and pulls out a jackhammer and thats BEFORE the alien

[6/10] like i spent the front half of the movie going dude. who even allowed this dude to be a protag of anything. who said yep lets make this guy the main character, that seems acceptable

and then around the climax i realized that they HAD to for the plot to work

[7/10] like just imagine how shit wouldve gone were eddie not an eighteen wheeler fucktruck tire fire. if the man were capable of catching a whiff of a phantom of the dessicated corpse of his own common sense none of this would have worked

[8/10] like any human being who is even .0005% more functional than eddie (i.e. anyone on the planet) would not have responded like 'hey actually? i LIKE having this cannibal monster alien controlling my body. i think this is GOOD. im gonna KEEP IT.' like eddie what in the whole fuck.

[9/10] this guy is not even there!!! the whole time!!! nothing behind this dude's eyes. he started dissociating shortly before meeting the scientist lady and he just never fuckin stopped. the lights are all off upstairs. this dude is checked out and he is NEVER coming back.

[10/10] final point the dialogue was just fucking phenomenal start to finish. just absolutely batshit nuts what was coming out of everybody's mouths. and the delivery was stellar, like the wack shit they were saying was completely normal and fine. i'd like to shake that writer's hand

@kleinstar

The night is dark. Eddie sleeps peacefully under the skin of the symbiote, unaware of what it's doing. Eddie had asked for a peaceful night, and that is what Venom helps to achieve, isn't it? The symbiote is slightly confused as to why he may want to sleep early if this is the case . . . but it knows he trusts it to allow it to use his body this way. To get out for a walk, he said once. Fresh air, if you need it. The symbiote hoped it was doing the right thing, because that's all it ever wanted to do, such as right now. Wandering into dark alleys like they used to, hiding in the shadows, waiting to strike at the first sign of danger. They couldn't crawl on walls or swing from webs, but the symbiote could still do plenty like this.

White eyes open, and then the reveal of the sharp teeth in a wide smile as Eiden stepped closer to the shadow. It blinked a few times, and then decided to break the silence. ⸨ Hello. ⸩

It came out loud, a little more frightening than intended, but the symbiote was still unsure how to go about the 'approachable' route. They'd always considered Eddie to be 'safe', so why would appearing in the same body type ( if not a little larger ) be intimidating at all? ⸨ Do you need help? ⸩

Karina laughs softly at Giselle's pronouncement and she gives a nod of acceptance.

"Well, as you have declared it so, how else can I be able to live?" She teased but there was still a gratefulness in her eyes as she looked at her. "Oh please, you are telling me, Giselle doesn't have any gossip? Even on an island paradise such as this?" She adds with a wink, before sinking back unto the massage bed.

"Well, I've taken a job, if you can believe it. As a yoga instructor." She wiggles her eyebrows as if it was the most ridiculous thing ever.

reconnection with @eirwenxmp

Karina was not prone to sentimentality. no tears shed, just shoulders squared and proceeding forward. All things considered, Karina knew there was very little thing she needed to weep about. Despite the complete eradication of the world and life she knew, she was positively cheerful about the life she now can build. As cheerful as a grandchild of Koschei can.

But sentimentality had a way of creeping up on you, Karina mused to herself as she sampled the frosting of the sans rival, a soft hum escaped her lips. It tasted...familiar, almost too familiar, as if she were back in Moscow, in her grandfather's hotel, sampling the restaurant's desserts and....

"Now I can be mistaken..." Her voice carried as she sauntered her way towards the counter of Black Forest Bakery. "But these confections taste very familiar...." A smile bloomed across her face that seemed positively predatory.

TIMING: Current LOCATION: Kaden's cabin SUMMARY: Hector shows his true colors, and Monty finally makes a stand. CONTENT WARNINGS: Emotional abuse/manipulation

—

“You can’t do this,” Monty pleaded, fingers curling around Hector’s wrist as his arm pressed into Monty’s front, shoving him backward. “Things are not like they used to be — Hector! You cannot do this! You will get someone hurt, or—or killed, or—” His words were cut off by the air being squeezed from his lungs as his back met the wall. He did not need air to breathe, but he did need it to speak. 

Hector towered over him, glaring down at him with an expression that Monty wasn’t sure he’d ever seen on his face. Now, with fear creeping up his spine, he realized he might never have loved this man if such anger had ever been directed at him before. In this moment, unease outweighed care, outweighed the strength of their bond, whittled down as it was by the century plus they’d spent apart and his assumption that Hector had been dead all this time. 

“Why can’t I? Why shouldn’t I? You found the perfect little place here, Montaña. More undead than I’ve ever seen in one place, and more of them struggling to get by than are not. They need someone like me. I know how to bring people together, how to protect them. Have you forgotten?”

“I… no,” Monty argued meekly, tightening his grip on the arm holding him in place. “But you can’t just bend this town to your will. It isn’t like that anymore, it isn’t —”

“Don’t tell me what I can and can’t do!” Hector bellowed, jerking Monty away from the wall only to drive him back into it again. The younger zombie’s head cracked against it in a way that should have been painful, but he couldn’t feel it. “I know perfectly fucking well that things are different now. But you did this to me. You didn’t tell me that you were infected, and you — you got all of them killed, Montaña. When you woke up again, you slaughtered them. And the ones you didn’t bother to eviscerate got back up, too, and came for the rest of us. You are responsible for everything that I lost, do you understand that?” Monty felt sick, the guilt twisting up his insides so thoroughly that even the frustration he felt intermixed with it failed to stand strong enough to even put an edge in his tone. He was weak, too weak to bargain with a person like Hector.

“I didn’t know! I swear to you, I didn’t know I was infected. I didn’t know any of this was possible then, I — I promise. Please, stop. Hector, please.” The older zombie drew in a long breath, standing up straighter and letting go of Monty’s shirt. He took only a small step back, still crowding the other’s space, but at least allowing him the room to compose himself. 

“Okay. I believe you. I’m sorry, you know how… well, you know how I can get. I just want what’s best for us, Montaña. You and me.” Monty stole an upward glance at him, shaking his head as he wrung his hands in front of him. 

“... and Kaden?” It was a foolish thing to ask, he knew… but they could keep the fact that Kaden was a hunter secret, right? Hector’s gaze, which had remained fixed on Monty and had softened with the apology, grew hard again. 

“... really?” Monty looked confused, stammering out a few syllables before being cut off. “Montaña, what do you think is going to happen in a few years time? Kaden is mortal. He is going to die to one thing or another eventually, and you will not. Why are you wasting your time with this? You have me. I will be here forever, and I will keep you safe. Forever. This… this thing you have might feel nice, but it is fleeting. You are too different from him. He does not understand you like I do.” Now it was Monty’s turn to look angry, his brows furrowing as he stared up at Hector in disbelief. The fear that had strangled his words melted away as soon as the Kaden was brought into the equation, Monty always having found it much easier to stand up for those he loved versus himself.

“Kaden understands me far more than you do, if you think I would choose you over him,” he snapped, pushing Hector away from him. Hector just scoffed, watching him move toward the door of the cabin for a moment before hurrying to get back in his way, blocking him from the exit. Monty came to an abrupt stop, throwing his hands up in the air. “What! What do you want me to say?! That I still love you? That nothing has changed, even though you shot me and forced me away, even though I have thought you were dead this whole time? Why do you want this? Why now!? You never cared before! I worshiped the ground that you walked on and you only cared about me when I was making you money! Fuck you, Hector. You do not get to decide my life for me anymore.” 

“Montaña—”

“I said get fucked! Leave!” Monty thrust a hand out in front of him, pointing at the door behind Hector, who looked absolutely bewildered and furious. 

“I have only ever wanted to help you thrive,” he bit out. “Nothing has changed! We both made mistakes, but—”

“No! That is the fucking problem, isn’t it? You still treat me like your lap dog! Only good for taking orders, just kept around to make your life easier! I have my own life now, pendejo. I don’t need you. I never did, but I know that now. You are a snake, Hector. All you do is spit venom and frighten people into doing what you want! I am not afraid of you, and I do not love you. Get out.”

“Montaña—”

“Leave, god damnit! Get out of here before I fucking make you!” Monty stormed forward which seemed to startle the other zombie out of his defensive position, and he backed into the screen door, swinging it open behind him. Monty continued to march toward him, following him out onto the porch and watching him descend the steps into the dirt drive. His hands, while clenched into fists at his sides, trembled like leaves in the wind. Hector just stared at him for a few seconds before shaking his head and turning on his heel, walking down the drive and eventually out of sight. 

The moment he could no longer see any trace of the other zombie, Monty sank to the weathered wooden slats and wrapped his arms around himself, fighting the urge to retch as a sob clawed its way out of his throat.

The sun moved across the sky, sinking well below the trees and darkening the air around him as he sat there, unmoving, not even lifting his head again until he heard car tires crunching their way closer. Glancing up, Monty saw Kaden’s familiar truck rolling its way up the bumpy path, and his chest ached.  They needed to talk. They needed to go.

[mpkarina]

It had been quite some time since Karina indulged in luxuries. Being on the run and not wanting to attract attention meant she had to get used to a certain way of living that wasn't up to her usual standards.

Since arriving on the island however, she was delighted to discover not only could she be her complete self in Mount Phoenix, but also reconnect with people who can now join this new part of her life.

Lio was one such person. Last she had seen of him, she was shadowing Koschei and he his father in one of their "business dealings". Now it seemed both of them had gone on their own paths, of which now intersect. Karina wasn't complaining, Lio had an edge about him that intrigued the chaos the lurked in Karina's own blood. She didn't know if it was because of the demigod blood they shared, or merely because she was not built for a quiet life, much like Lio.

"Are you asking me on a date after all this years, zolottse?" Karina accepted the apple cider and took a hearty sip. "Was all of this pomp and circumstance a way to butter me up?" Her lips quirked into a sly smile.

"A chance to dress up and people watch? Why, how could I say no to that?" She raised her glass as a toast to him before lowering the glass, her eyes studying him intently.

"Any other reason as to why you would need my company on this night? To distract you from what exactly, pet?"

Then there is a variant for 🕸Silken Threads and Venomous Webs🕷 AU... Where everyone is a spider mutant, possibly due to experimentation or simply being that way by birth. So that would make everyone have some form of spider mutation, along with their original powers, just with some spider-y-ness added in😊🕷🕸

This AU could be called the 🕸Silky Ties//Poison Lies🕷 AU...
