Reading Venom fic I’m kind of wondering why in none of them Eddie Brock actually buys a bluetooth earpiece and pretends he’s just another obnoxious person thinking everyone else should be an unwitting background participant to their phone calls. I mean, personally, my first reflex thought nowadays hearing someone having an one-sided convo with themselves isn’t ’ oh, are they hearing VOICES??’ or ‘oh, are they talking to an ALIEN GOO MONSTER?’ or anything suspicious, but just 'oh fuck another one of those private convo flashers on the phone’. I mean, obviously culture varies and maybe in good old USA everyone nowadays just texts, but I’ve met those kinds off ppl in many countries, so…

Good point! Be a good way for him to adapt to being Venom in a fic.

I remember this trick being used to talk to a ghost nobody else could see -- one of the supernatural-roommates shows.

Exactly, I mean, that'd be so obvious a solution imo.

He'd not even need to spend money. I'm sure Venom can make a pretty little earpiece lookalike from a tendril.

New Venom, also known as 'that guy who is always loudly on the phone' *grins*

Yeah, he could, couldn't he? There really is no excuse.
