Chapter 3089: Romantic
Eddie is stunned by this question.
"A wedding? A wedding is a ceremony to announce to the whole world that you are married, a kind of... romantic commemorative ceremony."
"Announce to the whole world?"
"Yes, by telling all your relatives and friends through the wedding that you are going to become a partner with this person, build a family, and spend your life together."
"What if you can't?"
"What can't?"
"What if they can't spend their lives together?"
Eddie is silent, but he still says: "At least when they get married, they feel they can spend their lives with this person, but life is unpredictable, who can say for sure about the future?"
"So this has no mandatory effect?"
"A wedding has no mandatory effect, but marriage has legal constraints. Entering marriage rashly and then leaving requires paying a considerable price, so most people will still treat it cautiously."
"You humans are really strange," Venom says. "The magic rituals done by other races are useful, but human weddings have no practical use."
"How can you say that? This can express your importance to your other half," Eddie racks his brains to think about how to explain. He says: "Holding such a grand ceremony requires spending a lot of money and time, and if the purpose is just to introduce your other half to your relatives and friends and announce your relationship, this is undoubtedly very solemn and reflects respect and love for them."
"Then why can't we have such a ceremony?"
"What?"
"Don't you have respect and love for me?"
"Uh..." Eddie hesitates and says: "Venom, the relationship between us is not love, we are good partners, aren't we?"
"What's the difference? Is it because I can't sleep with you?"
"It's not like that," Eddie says helplessly.
"But our relationship is more intimate than these couples who are about to get married, isn't it? Pepper definitely doesn't know what Tony's liver looks like, and she hasn't touched every cell of his, nor has she counted the grooves in his brain."
"My God, Venom, don't act like a resentful wife who thinks I always leave you alone to count my cells... That's not the point!"
"We know each other so well, and we will be together for a lifetime, so why can't we have such a ceremony? Do you think this is very strange?"
"The eyes of others are of course a factor to consider, but the key is not this, but... no, we are not that kind of partner."
"Why not?"
Eddie looks into the distance, thinking a lot. He doesn't know if Venom can feel the process of his thinking, but he still says: "Sometimes I feel like we are one person. I mean, you are me, and I am you. I have forgotten what I was like without you, almost completely unable to recall it."
"Do you feel like you are an independent individual? Just like Pepper is to Tony, Gwen is to Peter, do you think our relationship is the same as theirs?"
"No, we are not that superficial," Venom replies. "They look intimate, but they are actually unable to understand each other. They don't know what the other is thinking, and everything can only rely on guessing. I feel pathetic for them."
"Do you want our relationship to become like this?" Eddie asks very seriously: "If you want a wedding, then perhaps you should have an independent body. You have to leave me and live as another independent identity. Otherwise, I can't introduce you to my friends and family. Do you want this?"
"Of course not, I wouldn't go looking for someone else," Venom refuses immediately, and then says with some confusion: "Why must it be two people? Can't we hold it ourselves?"
"Then how are you going to exchange rings with me? From the left hand to the right hand?"
"Do you think my original form is very embarrassing for you?"
"No, your image doesn't fit human aesthetic standards, but your beauty or ugliness has no meaning to me, because you are a part of me. My heart or my lungs don't affect their value because of their beauty or ugliness."
"I didn't know I was so important to you."
"Of course it's important. I said it, I've almost completely forgotten the feeling of not having a symbiote in my body. I don't know if I would still breathe after leaving you."
"Then what do you think of me participating in the wedding with this image?"
"Our wedding?" Eddie suddenly laughs, as if thinking of something interesting, and then he hears Venom's roar.
"No!! The picture in your head is too rude!! Disgusting!!"
Venom pauses for a moment, then shouts: "... And why am I wearing a wedding dress?! I want to wear that kind of handsome custom silver suit! It must be silk fabric!"
"I don't think you can support such a suit. You don't even have shoulders. Even the best suit design master can't satisfy your needs."
Venom snorts coldly, but doesn't refute. Eddie continues: "Perhaps I should suggest to Nick that when a symbiote coexists with a human, there should be a sufficiently solemn ceremony, because you are not tools, but intelligent life forms with emotions. As long as there are emotions, you can feel respect and love from such a formal ceremony."
"No, no!" Venom suddenly says: "Only if it's just the two of us does it have meaning. If everyone has it, then it's just a routine."
"A wedding is actually a routine," Eddie sighs softly: "Even if Tony attaches so much importance to it, most of the processes are designed by wedding companies. They have received many big clients like Tony Stark."
"That's very bad," Venom says: "A solemn ceremony should be special, prepared for only one person, and shouldn't be uniform and go through the motions."
"I think so too, but there are many practical limitations. For example, you can't let all the tourists get on a fighter jet and fly around the sun twice. That would be unique enough, but it's not safe."
"It's all because you humans are too fragile."
"Yes, so we summarized a set of the safest and most reliable methods for holding ceremonies, which gradually became a tradition and became the prototype of modern weddings."
"I don't want to use the same set of ceremonies as you humans. It's rigid and boring, and there are too many restrictions. It's not romantic at all."
"Then what kind of ceremony do you want?"
Venom is silent for a long time, seemingly thinking seriously. He says: "The most important purpose of a wedding ceremony is to announce your relationship to the whole world, right?"
"Yes, from a realistic point of view, that is indeed the case."
"But now the whole world already knows our relationship," Venom says: "We are superheroes, we have appeared in public on several occasions. They see us fighting together, they even know how you and I coexist."
"Yes, they know. They know more than you think. They even know where Sintar comes from, know your name, and know how the two of us met."
"What?! Wait! How do they know?"
"Short videos," Eddie spreads his hands: "We are not the most popular group of superheroes, but we also have quite a few fans. Haven't you followed my TikTok? The avatar is the two of us."
"I don't have a phone," Venom says: "And we are one person, why register two accounts?"
"I can register one for you and guarantee not to peek at what's in your account."
"But don't think about stopping me from peeking at yours."
Eddie sighs again. He reaches into the bag next to him, takes out his phone, opens the short video software, and enters his name. Soon, many videos pop up, most of which are shots of him and Venom fighting.
Eddie is not a traditional superhero. He won't specifically go to the streets to fight crime. His superhero style is that whoever runs into him is unlucky, randomly picking a victim to make an example of.
Although he doesn't actively fight crime, Eddie doesn't live in a wealthy area with good security. His community often has criminals running into him, and now that everyone has a phone, his process of fighting crime is often filmed.
Since he didn't report to the Anquan Bureau that he is a masked vigilante, the Anquan Bureau's network security department naturally won't help him clear these videos where his face is shown, leading to his identity being basically known to everyone.
Superhero fans are divided into two types. One is those who like ordinary superheroes, like Captain America, Spider-Man, they all like them. But there is another type who likes transformation-type superheroes.
That is, everyone is originally an ordinary person, but once they encounter danger, they will transform into a superhero and stand up. The representative figure is Iron Man, and Eddie also belongs to this type.
These superhero fans like to watch the process of superheroes transforming the most. Iron Man's armor is of course cool, but Eddie's symbiote armor is not bad either. If Iron Man's mechanical armor is full of the beauty of order, then Venom's appearance is full of evil and dangerous atmosphere, and some people just like this.
To sum up, Eddie has quite a few fans on the internet. Fans who like him have been supporting him, posting reactions to videos of him transforming, cutting high-energy battle highlights, and fans with strong technical skills have drawn a lot of fan art for them.
Eddie's avatar is a fan art drawn by one of his fan artists. The picture is in a realistic style. Half of the face is Eddie, and half of the face is Venom. This work has as many as 100,000 likes on the software and has even been on the hot trend list of the art category.
Venom rarely went online before, just occasionally looking when Eddie was swiping his phone. Don't misunderstand, he is not backward, he is too advanced.
Their symbiotes have their own internet, accurately speaking, it is a cluster neural network that allows them to communicate with each other. At the same time, this network can connect to the interstellar internet. Simply put, Venom has a ladder and can directly climb over the wall to surf the internet in the common network of the member states of the Interstellar Alliance.
Although humans are already in the era of information explosion, the interstellar internet is obviously even more explosive. The amount of information there is not something that humans who have entered the internet era for decades can compare to. After browsing this kind of network, looking at the content on the human internet will only feel boring.
But today Eddie showed him the content on the short video account, many of which were content about Eddie and Venom created by fans that he liked, forwarded, and collected.
This opened a new world for Venom. No wonder that Ultron holds his phone every day. This thing is interesting.
He immediately asked Eddie to register an account for him. I want to see what's going on. ===== CHAPTER 3090 =====
