Sleeper is a strong, independent symbiote who needs no host.

One of my first posts here was about female symbiote designs. Now I want to know

I ran out of options to make an “other” option, I really wanted to include all of these. So if it’s other one feel free to send a reply or put it in the tags (with pictures, if possible, specially if it’s some obscure character! I want to see the slime ladies!)

Commentary is welcome

Symbiote Scorn

[peppertrax]

Wanna see my spidersona and his symbiote form?

Yes, yes you do.

His name is Alexis

(Paige is the name of my friends spidersona’s)

Here’s his face btw

Here's some old art of Marvel symbiotes that I never posted.

[dailyadventureprompts]

Villain: Jysh'parun, Outergod of Unwelcoming Earth

As distant and ancient as a mountain, as scornful as an axebitten tree

Many philosophies debate and negotiate the relation of mortals to their environment. Some see nature as a thing to be tamed in the name of survival, domesticated, exploited. Others proffer a more symbiotic path, a holistic system to be protected and stewarded.

Beyond these there are the ravings of those claimed by Jysh'parun, who claim that mortals have no right to exist at all, and survive merely by the beneficence of the trees and stones. While all but the most foolish agree that heed must be paid to nature, none but those under the unwelcoming earths dominion would think that there is some geological-feudal hierarchy to which we must all submit.

This then is the paradox of the Unbowing Mountain: a god that claims the worship of things that do not traditionally think, but views nature through a distinctly mortal lens of domination and hierarchy. It's an absurdity bordering on being a joke, atleast until Jysh'parun's influence washes over the land and the forest marches off to war while the rivers start demanding tribute.

Adventure Hooks:

Having come into possession of a disused tract of land, a young farming couple were picking the stones from their new field in preparation for planting when they came across the petrified remains of some indescribable horror. Resembling nothing so much as a horse sized mandrake-root with teeth, they've reached out to neighbours, the sheriff, even the local wizard looking for advice about what to do... only to wake up one morning and find the thing gone. Theft or reanimation are both equally alarming possibilities, and the whole region has been on edge since.

Having been thought dead for years after being lost in a winter storm, a dwarven cartographer descends from the mountains claiming to be their mouthpiece and demanding sacrifices in their name. Her words at first go unheeded, at least until the glacial rivers begin to run with noxious acid, transforming back only when something living is thrown in. Farms and villages are drying out and grisly offerings of livestock now fail to meet her standards she claims the mountains will only be satisfied when the people of the realm throw their rulers in and swear fealty to the peaks on high.

The king's palace is in chaos after a coup took place in the royal gardens, specifically when the great tree that shaded his majesty's favourite thinking bench stabbed him in the back with one of it's branches and then skampered off to replant itself on the throne with the crown in tow. Before Anyone knew what was happening, greenery had overtaken the palace locking most outside while trapping certain vital hostages inside.

Inspirations: Something that's all too often lost in the "madness and tentacles" misinterpretation of eldritch horror is that much of the genre is spun off from the particular phobias of HP lovecraft. When we use the iconography without understanding the anxieties behind it, we risk creating a shallow B movie version of the horror we want our audience to feel.

To write good horror then, we need to draw off fears we understand, and with Jysh'parun I wanted to tap into climate anxiety in a way I don't think I've seen before. We've all resigned ourselves to the fact that climate change is happening, with the understanding that its being driven by the bullheaded egos and greed of people who are so powerful their perspective on life bears no resemblance to anything we could possibly conceive of. Translate their willingness to let us suffer for the sake of profit into a psudo historical fantasy context and you get the Unwelcoming Earth: widening sinkholes that demand tolls from passersby while an approaching tsunami proclaims the divine right of kings. It's not only absurd it's fundamentally idiotic but that it doesn't mean it won't destroy you and everyone you know.

Worshippers: Delusional druids and geomancers. Goliaths and dwarvenkind who get too into being "children of the mountain". Sentient trees, Living crystals, and other elemental entities who seek to put themselves "above" other forms of life. Corrupted primoridals.

Signs: Aberrations that resemble roots or stone spontaneously emerging from nature, acid flowing from normally clear running springs, statues of lordly alien figures carved from erosion, not tools. Proclimations in an unknowable script engraved deep under the earth or on monumental scale.

Symbols: A glyph resembling a mountain range or branches of a tree in the shape of a crown.

Titles: The Unbowing Mountain, The Insuperable, King of all Corners,

I love Mammon's design in the new Helluva Boss and I like how not only does it sow the relationship between Fizz and both Sins, it also somewhat hints what might have been between Asmodeus and Mammon. The chin stroke from Mammon to Asmodeus and the pet names of "Mam" and "Ozz" really give off a cruel former relationship, especially since Asmodeus claims he's known Mammon personally for eons since Hell was first created. It sounds sometimes among the episode that Mammon is jealous and greedy of not just Fizz but of Asmodeus as well. He gets money from Fizz and gets Asmodeus to build sex toys for him, a forced symbiotic relationship that he doesn't want to lose. His threatening tone of Ozzie regretting revealing the love he has for Fizzarolli really comes off as a scorned lover being rejected, kind of like the Disney villains where their interest chooses the hero over them but it's directed towards both characters. He aims to destroy them if he can't have them.

I have been working on this symbiote design for Skirth!Miguel this is the 3rd and 4th version 💀 for so long

Keep in mind this isn't Venom, it's intended to be the blue symbiote Dr.Skirth gets infected with in the movies IDK what to name them send me suggestions otherwise I'm just gonna name them Rapture cause I'm not good at names

A is the more symbiote slanted design with the idea of giving him tendrils/stingers to have more ways to deal poison besides just the teeth and claws, the red mandibles are supposed to resemble Miguel's comic design where his eye markings had spurs(legs?)

B is after looking at old concept art and noticing the arrows = time marching forward. So this one has a more circuit theme combined with the arrows for a more futuristic look. The powerset would be similar to the symbiote Scorn who can manipulate tech and mechanical constructs.

[glittergummy]

Could a symbiote take over a transformer?

oh my dear anon,

you have come to the exact right person for this

i'll put my rambling below a 'read more' but the short answer: most likely, yes (from my current knowledge on symbiotes)

if you wanna know why-

so, my knowledge on symbiotes goes way back to multiple comics and there might've been updates to symbiotes in general but of course this all depends on universe and the writer portraying the symbiote

i think the biggest idea that gives evidence to the possibility of cybertronians being able to host a symbiote is that Scorn was a thing

Scorn was a symbiote bonded to a human, but could also combined mechanical items into it's mass; think guns and the like for extra firepower

there is a lot of different ideas of what a symbiote needs in order to survive, and while cybertronians are alive and sentient, they are not organic. however, i don't think that disqualifies them

a symbiote seems to be able to feed on many different things but from what i remember, it always comes back to having to digest the chemical reactions in the brain of it's host or if unavailable or in low supply, it can eat brains that have these chemicals or even just eat food or take supplements through the host to satisfy this need

by all means, i believe a cybertronian could host a symbiote and this is even more likely since they are capable of space travel so there's more opportunities for a symbiote to cross paths and take a chance

a cybertronian can feed a symbiote what it needs, whether or not said cybertronian is aware of it's presences and cybertronians are quite strong and resilient in their own right which is a good trait for a host

only downside might be the abundance of them being around loud frequencies or unbearable temperatures that could bother the symbiote but hey, you win some you lose some

I was thinking symbiot3 + jealous dylan

It's not that hard to explain. I'm going to make up this baseless thing that Eddie took Flash's soul out of wherever he was and gave him a symbiotic body so he could live. So now Flash is alive once again and he and Eddie and the symbiote are in a romantic relationship 🎉

Dylan and Eddie can't spend much time together because Eddie is still a God and Dylan is now Venom, they're both out there saving people and they see each other on the weekends at most.

if Dylan already had to wait forever to see his father again, now he has to share it too. worse still, he has to share it with a guy Dylan doesn't know, who was dead a few days ago and now suddenly occupies an important place in his life. Dylan never saw the possibility of his parents being open to a polyamorous relationship because in general they were always closed to showing affection to other people, but now they both act like Flash is the most attractive man in the world, Dylan is so confused, upset and jealous

Dylan is so foolish that he doesn't even try to be friends with Flash, no have contact with him even if they live in the same house, Dylan ignores Flash, eats at different times and when Flash speaks to him Dylan answers him in curt tones. The symbiote scolds Dylan for being so bad with Flash, but Dylan becomes more annoyed. It doesn't take long for Eddie to find out about this whole situation.

Dylan refused to talk to his symbiote father, he refused to talk to his new stepfather and he talked a little with Sleeper, but it really didn't say much about it, the only one left to talk was Eddie and in fact he was the only one Dylan listening.

the typical situation. They are in Dylan's room, sitting on the edge of the bed, Eddie puts his arm around Dylan's shoulder to get him to pay attention, but Dylan avoids looking at him out of embarrassment.

Eddie apologizes for being so careless, he knows that having a stepfather is a decision that affects Dylan's life, it doesn't matter if it's for better or worse, it's a complicated thing anyway. It's hard to use the "you have to understand that I want to rebuild my life" argument because Eddie and his other one are still together, Flash didn't arrive because of a separation, the three of them are a union.

Eddie tries to talk Dylan about talking to Flash, getting to know him a bit, he doesn't want to force his son to do "father-son recreational activities" because he knows that that kind of thing can annoy Dylan more, so he has to go slowly. They made a mistake bringing Flash home like it was nothing, but they couldn't leave him lying on the street either. After died, Flash lost all his properties and having to explain to someone else like Flash that before he was dead, now he is alive would be really complicated. Dylan agrees to try to connect more with Flash. Dylan is aware that he has been immature and in the process has made his now three parents uncomfortable. Dylan is entitled to be upset, but Flash hasn't done anything wrong to make him deserve so much scorn, either.

Dylan took a long time to accept Flash as his new father and I doubt he would ever call him "dad" but at least now he is nice to him and sees him as a supportive father figure

What are some other forgotten Marvel characters that you like? (I understand if it's hard to choose, since there are so many forgotten Marvel characters...)

I love Galacta, daughter of Galactus, def need to draw her in the near future... Addy Brock aka VEN#M is a tragic one but a fucking incredible and dark addition to Peni Parker's story... I know Tempest has gotten like a pretty sizable role in Hickman's run but its more of a "she has a very op power that I can use" thing for his run from what I understand...

There are a lot of Inhumans that didn't really pick up like Kamala that seem pretty cool too. Auran, Xiaoyi Chen, Ren Kimura, Sheath... they are very unlikely to go to the Inhumans well anytime soon so that def sort of sucks.

I've always really liked Doppelganger's design from Spider-Man but he has a figure and was one of the million cameos in Across the Spider-Verse so I don't know if he's really forgotten, lol.

Scorn is a really fun symbiote user, a really unique one in that she utilizes technology along with the symbiote. Earth-65 Black Cat was a really fun addition that they didn't do a lot with in the original Spider-Gwen run as most things with Gwen's relationship with the band tend to kind of be...

Toni Ho rules too. Iron Patriot armor is a little gaudy but "lesbian daughter of the guy Tony Stark was stuck in a cave with" is a fucking excellent premise for a character and it is such a huge shame that she never was capitalized on.

Barbara McDevitt aka Quickfire is sort of an interesting one- I like time-based superpowers and she sort of was labelled as a agent who didn't necessarily need or use her powers before she underwent a "second terrigenesis" that made her into a monster that can infect other inhumans with similar effects. She reminds me of Rachael Foley from Resident Evil Revelations in that way who's also a character I feel could have been executed better but there's interesting premises to both characters in that they show someone who is skilled and overconfident becoming incredibly powerful and dangerous creatures- false otherwise-protagonists who set the stakes as something our characters could face that is worse than death.

Lastly want to shout out Red Widow Ava Orlova. I don't understand if they forgot she existed or if the other Red Widow existed but her story was set up and then they just never went anywhere with it, it seems? She has a cool design but like unless she's just severely underdocumented she never even got a chance to be a real character.

Oh god. I actually just remembered Black Cat's ex-girlfriend Tamara Blake. I knew about her before she was revealed to be Iron Cat and like the moment of reloading her page because I had her tab open for like a couple months (I'm very bad at cleaning my tabs) and seeing it update to Iron Cat was such a unforgettable way to find out that reveal.
