Peter is Symbrocks Kid
Dec. 5th, 2018 10:06 amHonestly I feel like they’d both freak out more than if it was more symbiote in nature. They are both much more qualified and able to meet a symbiote’s needs then they are in looking after a mostly-human baby. So when they do realise this baby is going to be more human than symbiote the panic settles in.
It’s a major learning process at first. Especially for Venom who is kind of actually scared he’s going to hurt or scare the baby. Most small children he meets react to him with screaming and running and he doesn’t want his child to be afraid of him like that. So Eddie gets left with a lot of the care of the baby until Venom realises that this baby isn’t afraid of him like the others are. Which probably has Eddie being a bit like “obviously - they’re not going to be scared of their dad”.
Although gods help anyone who wakes the baby. Venom will want to tear them to shreds for it and Eddie probably isn’t much inclined to stop him from doing so.
I’m totally here for the two of them raising a baby together. Like it’d be a nice mix of sweet and funny. Also yeah, the child being actually biologically theirs just adds to those facts (also when have I ever been against an excuse to have mpreg?).
Oh and I LOVE the idea of the baby being Peter and that being how he got his powers. Like - why didn’t I already think of it love it. It’s such a nice idea that has a lot of potential from it. Oh man so much that can be done with it…Anon: Does Peter still have his spider sense in the au where he is Venom and Eddie's kid? Does he get any extra powers due to being half symbiote?
Okay so I’m just answering this one instead of writing it (mostly because this is like a level of worldbuilding that’s easier to explain in a “so here’s how it works” instead of trying to show/explain within a narrative.
Peter does still have his spider sense. It’s easy enough to explain it away as just a slightly weird manifestations of the symbiote increased sensory awareness (you know instead of being like “there’s a guy lunging at me from behind” it’s instead “something bad is going to happen…”).
I don’t know if he does get any extra powers at this point. Although, to be fair, Peter probably isn’t working with all his powers at all times (there’s a bit of “hey look I can do that now - that’s cool” going in for most of this verse when he’s a teen/adult). So my tentative answer is has all his spider-powers (just they come from his half-symbiote DNA instead of bitten-by-a-spider) and maybe one or two extra ones but they probably only show up in like… really crisis situations.
Anon: Due to Peter having some symbiote DNA in him would he have a weakness to loud noises like Venom does? How much would it affect or hurt him?
I would say to a certain extent yes. But certainly not to the level that Venom does - possibly only even affecting his powers and causing him mild discomfort? So like he finds the noise more painful than the normal human does (although to be fair the level of noise required is kind of high enough to be at lease nails-down-the-chalkboard uncomfortable for a normal human) and it probably knocks his powers off for a minute or so afterwards? (long enough for his body to ‘remover’ from it) and he possibly gets a bad headache from it but it doesn’t completely cripple him like it does Venom… unless it’s like really loud. In which case it’d cripple most humans anyway generally.
Anon: Some kids call the close friends of their parents aunt or uncle. So would Peter refer to Anne and Dan as Aunt Anne and Uncle Dan in the Peter is Venom and Eddie's kid au?
Almost certainly he would.
I feel like physically he could but psychologically is a different question.
Basically if he doesn’t throw it up because of the mental response to eating something like that he won’t get ill from it. But he still has to not immediately puke it up while eating it at first.So I don’t think there was like one exact moment (and thus age) where they discovered it.
Just because I think the super-strength kind of grew with Peter. He was always stronger than a completely human child his age but it was only as he got older (probably in his teens) that it started to move more into the realm of… well super-strength.
Venom in particularly probably just has an assumption that Peter will inherit his strength. Especially when he figures out that Peter is stronger than a completely human child his age is. He doesn’t fully know what is in the realm of ‘human’ to recognise when Peter crosses over into ‘super’. So he’s very much a “oh Peter can crash wood in his hands now - good” or “Peter can life a car now - our son is getting so much stronger *proud dad*”
Eddie, who does know what is in the realms of human and what is really in the realms of super much more recognises when Peter does cross over into it. And even though he knows it makes sense considering Peter’s complete parentage there’s probably a fair bit of surprised for him when it does fully hit.
Natural. One of the things Peter inherited from Venom is the ability to produce them. Venom can just produce bigger and more elaborate structures that are still mostly connected and controlled by him (being more an extension of himself until it is cut off and dies), Peter’s is more… web that is expelled from his body that he can really only just aim/disconnect (so like it becomes dead tissue immediately).
As many of Peter’s powers that I can handwave as something he inherited from Venom I have… which honestly is basically all of his powers.So because in this verse Peter’s powers come from his half-symbiote parentage, and not whatever Spider-source the canon you’re looking at goes with, I feel like he would go more down the symbiote-looking route than the spider-like of the canon versions of it.
Basically as a very rough guide - go look up the Hybrid symbiote. He’d look more like that. Not exactly that but that’s probably what I’d take elements of to combine with the manspider/savage-spiderman designs to create what this version would be in this verse (so he’d probably have an extra set of arms on top of the tendrils, would probably have the spider-design on his chest still, etc)Anon: In the Symbrock kid au has Peter ever suffered from sensory overload due to the increased sensory awareness his spider senses gives him?
Probably when he was younger a bit. But as he got older he was more able to manage it.
There’s a bit of the powers tending to ‘grow’ with him so it probably wasn’t a problem until his like early teens? I would say also as a toddler but like… most toddlers have sensory overload moments because still getting used to being exposed to the world. So while Peter probably also had it then that’s kind of normal and expected? But when he’s more a teen it’s more a thing just because most teenagers don’t get it that much (which isn’t to say you still can’t send a completely neurotypical teenager into sensory overload it just requires a lot of stimulus) and it’s around then that his powers sort of have the biggest ‘jump’ in his life so he is more likely to get a lot more sensitive senses and therefore more like to find things all-too-much.
So basically yes. Probably by the time he’s an older teen/adult and his powers are evening out not as much but certainly as he’s getting used to them yes.Anon: In the Peter is Venom and Eddie's kid au would Venom and Eddie of joined the fight in Wakanda during Infinity War or would they of just stayed in San Francisco?
I think they would have stayed in San Francisco. Just because they kind of exist as almost completely separate from the Avengers. Like yeah they probably met Tony because of Peter working for Tony and Tony probably knows who they are. But like… only Tony know who they are. And Tony - with Peter - is kind of off the planet before everyone starts contacting people to join the Wakanda fight. SO there’s no-one there who probably even thinks “hey let’s contact the criminal-eating monster in San Francisco” and even if they did no-one has his number and they don’t have time to track him down.
And on Eddie’s side he doesn’t probably even know what’s going on until after he could really get anywhere to help. So he’s staying in San Francisco because he doesn’t find out that there’s a fight in Wakanda before it’s too late to get to Wakanda in time.
Which I mean sucks because Venom would have loved that fight but I just don’t think he would have known about it until news stations started reporting on it and that’s kind of too late for him to join.Anon: In the pater as venom and Eddie's kid who would they take meeting Deadpool?
think Venom would actually take it better than Eddie. Because Deadpool is strong and ruthless and therefore perfect to protect their son so a good choice in partner. Eddie however more sees Deadpool as a threat to their son - both because of his strength and ruthlessness as well as the sort of danger that exists around him that Peter might be dragged into. Once Venom realises that Eddie doesn’t approve his switches to being willing to kill Deadpool so no harm will come to Peter.
And honestly Deadpool is probably a bit game to fight Venom just generally. So it probably quickly becomes a mess of a situation with Peter stuck in the middle.
Anon: Silly question for the Peter is Venom’s Kid au: does Pete grow up in San Fran or does he grow up in NYC?
Honestly I don’t completely know because like on one hand it’s easier just to keep them in San Fran, on the other hand Spiderman is traditionally in NYC and like I’ll probably be borrowing a fair bit from Spiderman plots so it might be easier to have him in NYC?
My tentative (VERY VERY tentative) position if they started in San Fran and then moved to NYC roughly when Peter was entering highschool (so maybe not like exactly but within a year either side) - but that’s very tentative answer that is not at all been reflected in the writings of the verse (they’re… in a city is about as clear as I make it).Anon: In the Symbrock kid au what would Venom and Eddie's opinion on Tony Stark be before and after he becomes Peter's mentor?
Before Tony becomes Peter’s mentor - Eddie thinks Tony is a rich man trying to clean up his company’s image in order to survive in a world becoming more and more anti-war (and more and more anti-companies supporting war). He respects Tony’s intellect and the fact Tony is a bit ahead of his competitors in making these changes now but he still doesn’t trust Tony’s motivations. Venom just kind of blindly agrees with that position because it’s not like he understands the whole context to have his own (or really wants to) - Eddie doens’t like Tony so Venom doesn’t either.
After Tony becomes Peter’s mentor - Eddie still doesn’t fully trust Tony but also acknowledges that if Peter wants to be legitimized as a hero Toy is the person in the best position to enable that. Venom on the other hand gains a much higher dislike off Tony because it was supposed to be HIS job to teach Peter things like that - how dare Tony take that off him!Honestly very much just how most parents respond to their child’s first words - excitement and trying to encourage Peter to say it again while also trying to get him to say other words. In this they are very average parents despite the differences between them and most average parents.
I want to say ‘Spider’ just because you know kind of weird but also on-brand.
IDK I’ve although thought of like ‘Venom’ or ‘Eddie’ or even ‘sybiote’ but I think ‘spider’ is my current personally preference until I find something else I think it even better.Anon: Did Eddie call Anne and Dan to tell them that Peter just said his first word a little while after it happened?
Anon: In the Peter is Venom and Eddie's kid au when does Dan and Anne find out that Peter is Spider-Man?
I mean the real question is how long does it take Peter, Venom and Eddie to tell them?
Because like both Dan and Anne are pretty smart people. And when you know that you’re friends kid has a level of powers because of who one of his parent’s is and suddenly there’s a superhero with powers similar enough to said parent… look they figure it out pretty quickly okay.
Meanwhile Peter, Venom and Eddie are doing the full “they cannot know” because they think they’ll judge Venom for being a bad parent? IDK I feel like it’s a bit of projected guilt. Whatever the cause of it though they are all very set on not telling them that Peter is Spiderman. Which you know leads to hi-jinks as they try and keep that fact secret while Anne + Dan already know.
And I don’t exactly have the answer for when Peter reveals that he’s Spiderman to Dan + Anne - or even whether it would be him like sitting down and telling them or having them walk into him as he’s taking off the mask or something. Mostly because that’s the kind of thing I’d figure out by how the foreshadowing of the story was leading towards while I was writing it so without an actual like written-narrative to read those cues from it’s hard for me to say which is better because they all have their strengths.- At first it’s just general child curiosity with how things work and what not. And sure Anne and Dan encourage it with like buying Peter science kits or books for his birthdays or whatever but nothing too major
- As Peter gets older it becomes more clear that this is something that actually interests him and so their presents become more like… tours of different scientific institutes
- Dan probably can follow Peter more when he gets on that just because the medical field is more science based than the legal. Although considering Anne worked on a case based in medical/scientific negligence she likely has higher level of knowledge about the scientific field than most
- They are kind of disappointed when Peter seems to go down the more engineering field of science then the medical. Not like hurt-disappointed just… you know, kind of hoped Peter would follow into Dan’s field
- They are just exasperated when they realize Peter is more focusing on developments that could help with his superheroing than ones that have a particularly high monetary return. They are not surprised though considering who Peter’s parents are.
- They’re probably the ones that more look into different placements in company’s for Peter and then have to argue Eddie into letting Peter do it because Eddie doesn’t trust the company but it does have the best opportunities.What are Dan and Anne's opinion on Tony before and after he becomes Peter's employer and mentor for the Symbrock kid au?
Before - honestly I think they think of Tony the way the average person does. You know - really rich, bit of a dick, Iron Man, bit of an ego, trying to clean up his company’s reputation (possibly for personal reasons, possible for PR reasons). Like in a way he’s almost not on their radar apart from “so Iron Man was on the news because he did this” sort of level.
After Peter starts working for him - They certainly follow the news about Tony more because it kind of affects Peter but I don’t think their opinion of Tony changes that much. They tell Peter not to blindly follow his footsteps but I mean that’s kind of what they’d say about any mentor - Tony can give Peter good advice on how to succeed and provide Peter with lot’s of opportunities but that doesn’t mean he’s always right and that Peter shouldn’t use his own thoughts before making decisions.
