It’s not just some random quirk they decided to throw in! If you haven’t read Venom: The Hunger (edit: it’s also mentioned in at least one other comic) you wouldn’t know this, but the reason the symbiote craves brains is because they contain phenethylamine. Apparently it’s abundant on the symbiote’s home planet, and it’s what makes brains so tasty (in the symbiote’s opinion at least)
You know what else contains phenethylamine? Chocolate. That’s why Venom loves it so much. (Edited to add this image from Venom: Sign of the Boss)
Another fun fact? Phenethylamine is one of the chemicals produced when you’re in love. Eddie points this out and says that he hadn’t been giving the symbiote what it needed, and that he promised it wouldn’t happen again.
So for those of y’all who don’t think symbrock is canon? Think again.
Hey all. I’m sorry to spam you with non-comic stuff. I try not to do this too routinely, but sometimes I can’t not.
Shelter Friends works very hard to network and get cats and dogs out of the municipal animal control shelter here. They work so hard, in fact, they’ve effectively turned this former high kill rate shelter into a no-kill shelter for the past 5 years running. Unfortunately, adoptions have been very slow this season, nearby rescues have issued an intake freeze, and these two beautiful cats might fall victim to the situation on October 30th. They’re on the euthanasia list. It’s rather an emergency.
– Bronte (top) is a shy, sweet adult female who loooves meal time. Here’s a video of her.
– Charlie (bottom) is a bit of both worlds – he’s got some loner edge, but he can be the very affectionate life of the party when he feels like it too. A video of him being very lovey.
Both are FeLV/FIV negative and up to date on shots. Neither seem to be super-fans of other cats (no attacking – just hissing and hiding), but a noisy, chaotic shelter is the least ideal place to see a cat’s real personality shine, so there’s every chance they’d adjust and thrive in a moderately quiet home with other animals.
