my other venture thoughts:

black market dealer!reader x venture; knows the location of a specific artifact they want, however, turns out a lot of people want this and evil dudes don’t want anyone else knowing they got their hands on it! reader only tags along because staying with venture is the only thing keeping them alive.

museum curator!reader x venture; listen, i appreciate the fact that you donate all this stuff but wHERE THE HELL ARE YOU FINDING ALL THESE RARE ARTIFACTS THAT NO ONE KNEW EXISTED??????? who the hell are you????? why are you bringing me a cursed object and why are you so excited???? we have to fall in love in a month due to this curse or we die????

fellow archeologist!reader x venture; dude I swear to god if you take over ONE MORE of my dig sites I will lose my shit and make you eat rocks permanently. forever. what the hell do you mean we are trapped in here together???? rivals to lovers.

Barista!reader x venture; I work weirdly long shifts as much as I can to pay off my college debt and I see you come in at the weirdest hours and you’re always dirty and covered in mud. You always order some over the top, extraordinarily sweet thing that kind of makes my teeth hurt and leave your footprints in the lobby.

influencer!reader who got famous for ASMR videos/opening videos where they open geodes, doing tapping videos with different types of gems and rocks, and post informative videos of different rock types/explaining geological formations.

and Venture. Is SUCH a big fan. almost embarrassingly so; they watch every single one of your videos, they’re nearly almost always the first to comment, despite finding you a couple weeks ago, they probably have like 600 hours of watch time on your channel alone. If you come out with any merch, they buy it. And they would love to actually see you at a convention, but they’re usually too busy with work to buy tickets. Have an embarrassing crush on you and fall asleep to your ASMR videos. they probably know your hands more than your face which is super duper kind of weird but they would give anything to hold them.

and this goes one of two ways: either they comment on a video expanding what you said or even outright correcting you and get crucified by your community for it and you have to step in and explain that you aren’t upset by it. That’s what your community is there for. you end up sliding into ventures DM‘s to apologize and they are over the moon when you start talking to them, you two really enjoy talking to each other and just continue to talk and eventually end up dating and it’s so funny that you could now see Venture in your videos, especially some of the meme ones where you visit them at their work and push them down a hole or something.

OR

you post something on Instagram that you’re in the city where venture is currently working. They get so excited they accidentally get super stalkerish and end up finding the coffee shop you like to edit your videos at and explain that they are such a huge fan and they are so sorry for bothering you, but they’ve wanted to meet you for so long and they’ve never gotten a chance to, they especially love XYZ video about XYZ theory on XYZ rock and if you wanted to come check something out at their dig site about it you totally could. venture is totally just rambling on but you find it really cute and a little bit awkward so you accept the invitation and eventually just keep posting videos w them until your community is like “????? so when are u guys dating?”

mutual hanahaki diseased!reader AND venture, both of whom are convinced the other is just super friendly and could never like them back.
