Alice-Parasite waved back, before after a long moment of not fully wanting to leave, and having to, they continued to walk away.
They were a bit surprised at how nice that felt, to talk to somebody who wasn’t trying to hurt them or were scared of them. Somebody who was polite to them- not out of malicious intent or personal gain, but out the pure empathy.
Parasite would see Ghost-Spider again, they were sure of it.
“Hey, you! Spider…”
Parasite Alice paused, trying to regain control of their host’s body again why did they keep on fighting Parasites control why did they pick a host that was so difficult we need a new host soon FIND ONE
“What do you… What’s your opinion on symbiotes? What do you know about them?”
Parasite-Alice leaned up against a fire escape, her expression blank and emotionless.
Gwen froze and pulled her mask back down, spinning on her toes to face the newcomer. She hadn't even realized someone was there. She had to get a grip.
She tried not to seem too out of breath or panicky, but they'd likely be well aware if they'd been there for any time at all. They hadn't mentioned it yet, however.
It took a moment to process their question. She had to get a grip first. There wasn't a clear threat.
"...In theory? They're very interesting," That was flat. Not enough. This was a biology question, she liked biology. "I mean, I don't know a lot. But parasites are always interesting to learn about." She didn't know why this was one of the topics she always hedged on. Realistically, she knew her feelings. But this was one of the things where she had to test the dirt, to find her footing, before she could state her opinion. Especially because she still didn't know this person.
"I don't have anything against them. Certainly not the hosts, they are actively hurt in the exchange," She wrung her hands together. Paused. "I think my interest lands in what is best for the host and what they prefer." That shouldn't have been too far. No matter the harm inflicted on others, the host was a person in the exchange. And yet she found her grimacing as if she'd stated the most controversial opinion in the world. It was stupid.
"Uh, may I ask who you are? And what your opinion is?"
Parasite stepped into the room, blinking rapidly as their eyes adjusted to the light.
Their eyes were narrowed as their gaze darted around the room, eventually landing on Peter. They glanced between him and the test tube he held, and tilted their head to the side as they recognized the substance as one of its own, a symbiote.
Eventually, they spoke up. “Spider-creature? What are you doing?”
Parasite didn’t even bother to hide in their true form as it moved closer to him (it was too tired to mask their true self at the moment anyways, they just had to hope that this particular spider-person wouldn’t be too disturbed by their appearance).

TW// blood, ethical wrongs
—-
Peter was sitting at a work bench in a lab that looks like it’d seen better days. The lights above were flickering madly, giving an eerie presence to the surrounding equipment. Various vials and chemical compounds sat idly on shelves and the several other tables.
One of them stood out though. It was moving. Yeah, moving. It sat next to a normal vial of blood that seemed to be sparking a small bit. “C’mon Pete…” he mumbled as he pushed the chair back. “C’mon.”
He stalked towards the two vials and tilted his head. Moving. It was living. The vial was a tube of Eddie Brock and Venom’s combined blood— it’s what had created carnage. Eddie and Peter had come up with this together— a potential life saving procedure— and now Pete was carrying it out. Or he was going to try to.
He was on two different sides. On one hand? He could potentially save lives, help the world for the greater good, and all it would take was a little bit of blood sequencing. On the other? This was living. It was alive. It couldn’t live on its own, but Peter was keeping it alive and healthy in the cold tube.
He swallowed thickly as he picked it up and twisted it in his fingers. “C’mon. Just don’t mess it up this time. Don’t mess it up like you did with yours… don’t… don’t screw it up, Pete. Then it’ll be humane, right?”
He realized he was… shaking. He set the vial down and moved back to his desk. He slumped down and sighed heavily. “Fuck.” Humanity. Inhumane. Ethics. All of those damn rules.. what would Mr. Stark say?

Oh, hello!! Hey!! How are you doing?
Was relistening to TMA while drawing and suddenly heard the MOST banger line of all time from Micheal and instantly rushed to add it to Parasite’s intro post because HOLY SHIT IT WAS SO PARASITE CODED
You fucking wish the author was dead. The author is on twitter
“Oh! Your hosts, you mean?”
Parasite perked up at that, seemingly much more engaged in the conversation and no longer half zoned out as they heard the mention of VICE’S host (One would think that the mention of something so sensitive would make Parasite offended, but oftentimes it had quite the opposite effect).
“Well, Recluse and Bluejay sound like very nice people. Keep them safe and close, if you can.”
A small blob, the size of a subway rat approaches. It is grey, with a full spectrum of colors dancing over it.
“Hello. We I have not met another of my kind before. I am VICE.”
— @bluejayandvice
“Salutations, little one!”
Parasite crouched down to Vice, their eyes wide as they examined the symbiote
“Vice, you say? I’m Parasite. It’s a pleasure meeting another!”
just watched brave new world and I have ✨feelings✨
Bucky: *on the phone with sarah* so how’s Sam d- Sarah: well he just attacked the president Bucky: *dramatically whipping off glasses* WITHOUT ME???
I… sorta do. Not a permanent one, I’m just kinda hopping from creature to creature until somebody doesn’t end up dying.
If you kill all your hosts have you ever thought about bonding with a Deadpool?
I…
…
@d-adpool WADE, GET OVER HERE I GOTTA TRY SOMETHING
And he’s RIGHT. Fuck everyone who is throwing a fit over Mackie speaking the truth. He and Chris Evans know this role better than anyone. Captain America is a figure of American propaganda both in the real world and in the MCU, despite how the characters Steve Rogers and Sam Wilson and actors Chris Evans and Anthony Mackie feel. If you just see the red, white and blue, the propaganda, and not what these characters have stood for, that’s on you. And if you think that America represents honor and dignity for everyone, wake the fuck up. Honestly, just look out the window.
YALL
What would you guys do if I just
Ate somebody?
That’d be crazy right
