Theory A: The majority of the Venom cast are, in fact, hardcore morosexual and Eddie Brock is the supplest slice of heartfelt idiot they’ve ever laid eyes on

Anne? 110% down to marry Eddie despite and/or because of him being the human epitome of a gold-plated trashbag

Doctor Dan? Big fan of his writing, maybe they could all sit down to a ritzy lobster lunch and do some beta readings–oh, oh no, okay, lobsters are a no go, how about just saving the crazy dumbass from an arrest and giving him some All Free medical treatment instead, call me you glorious moron

VENOM? Where do we start with fucking Venom?? 2 days’ worth of roosting in that perfect, sweat-stained, I-Will-Kick-Every-Douchebag-Hornet’s-Nest-I-Can-Find, tire fire of a brain, and he’s flipping his entire species the bird while Frenching his new wonderfully, chronically, incurably confused husband

Theory B: Eddie Brock is some kind of low grade incubus who bewitches anyone he spends more than ten minutes with into becoming a morosexual, at which point his natural state of seductive dumbassity takes over

Reblogging again because I thought they changed the quote so I decided to look up the actual quote and it’s not fake that is very much the actual quote

How to Do Witchcraft Research for Newbies

malachite-wings:

Basic search:

  1. Get off Tumblr. (I know, it’s hard.)
  2. Direct your browser to Google.com.
  3. Choose the main keywords of your question. For example, “what is calendula good for in witchcraft?” might be parsed as “calendula witchcraft magickal correspondences”.
  4. Hit enter.

For more in depth research, try these sites:

  1. JSTOR.org, if you have access to it.
  2. Online public library catalogs to find books. (Search your county and “public library.”)
  3. Amazon Kindle. It can be put on your computer for free, there is a Cloud Reader online and a free smartphone app. Filter by price and you can find witchcraft and occult ebooks for free through a few simple searches.
  4. Google Books for the same purpose. (There is a shit ton here, btw, I use it all the time.)
  5. Scribd.com for the same purpose.
  6. Cornell University online witchcraft collection.
  7. Hermetic.com for public domain magick texts.
  8. Sacred-texts.com for all sorts of neat shit.
  9. Alchemy-works.com for magickal lore on plants.
  10. Search your county’s website for weed/plant information to get a list of things growing in your area.

Some tips to aid in research:

  • Use your browser’s bookmarks.
  • Use the Amazon wishlist to keep track of titles, or to keep an eye on titles that are occasionally offered for free on Kindle.
  • Look around on publishers, like LuLu, Immanion Press, etc, for self-published material.
  • Cross reference with lots of sources to keep on top of the BS.
  • Take good notes.
  • Dirty experience/field work is better than reading/book work.

Mkay? After you’ve done all that, come back and ask about what you still can’t find. (Trust me, you’ll find most of it, if not all and more.) You have no fucking excuse to be on Tumblr asking about the basics of paganism or what such and such plant does for witchcraft, or how to summon demons. Harassing people for basic knowledge gets you nowhere. There is so much out there even just online. You do not need the newest, shiniest books by the most popular authors. You do not need to attack people when they tell you to go research on your own. The information is right fucking there. Now go get it.
