Hello! 🦠 anon here again... I'm not sure if my ask wast sent so im gonna ask again,
What are your headcanons on swatch? Can you tell more of your concept of them? Like how do you view him? I would really appreciate it even it's like small fun facts! thanks a lot :)
you're fine i didn't have art to post so i didn't log in for a few days. uhhhhhh SwatchThoughts(tm):
they're the head butler ofc, but they're also queen's right-hand-man (gender neutral), her #1 bestie. they know everything about her, even about lancer before the events of ch2. they will literally do anything she asks and anything that will entertain her. it's tiring and they do complain sometimes but they enjoy their work, they know what a kind person she really is and that she's generally a good ruler, so they like to make her happy :)
weirdly competitive. nobody beats them in queen's monthly fruit-smashing competition and if you somehow do, they're a good sport but You Will Not Win Next Month. You Won't.
workaholic. oh god they wear so many hats in the mansion and they're so tired all the time, it's a miracle they get everything done
the color cafe is a regular butler cafe up front and a host club in the back. a handful of the birds, including swatch, can be paid (at quite high rates, swatch especially) to join you for drinks or sweets, flirt with you, cuddle - p much have a sweet and lightly romantic time. you would not believe how much money spamton dumped into the host club back in the day. their undisputed #1 customer even 20 years later
i generally view them as very asexual (demi specifically. + nonbinary) but they still love their host work! it's fun, they like making people happy and playing at being a romantic. and the sweets. they like the sweets just as much 🍰
damn good chef and an even better baker
very polite but short tempered 😔 they're quick to rough up people who don't follow the rules or who just personally annoy them/cause chaos, and they always win
they are the tallest swatchling, at 9 feet tall. Beast. good for carrying queen on their broad shoulders though!
their feathers, which are all slightly curly, have a slight iridescence to them that tint, along with accents on their outfit, in accordance to their mood or the paint they've been drinking . the default is pink
dressed to the nines 24/7. even on their time off.
they adore their birds. they spawned each and every single one of them (the ones in their own flock that work for queen, anyway), they know all their names even when everyone's the same color and they remember what's going on in their lives. which is impressive when there's at least a couple hundred of them ;;;
their favorite flavor of paint is dusty lilac
their favorite normal flavor is strawberry
as an art program they not only create things for lightners but also for queen ! they design a lot of things for her with her input, and with as quickly as they can draw things directly into the dark world they're always working on things for her, while dressing up their cafe for themed events in-between.
the underside of their tail is a swatchbook
they love being pet please pet them please please please p
#deltarune#swatch#ask#anonymous#anon#swatchlings#headcanons#its fun to make headcanon lists. its also an excuse to link a bunch of old art dhjdsbfhj#i've drawn like half of this already but it's nice to have it all together like this#tldr they're a big sweetie but with a short temper and a bad sweet tooth. and they're drawing near-constantly#i'm sure there's a bunch of really obscure little headcanons i could throw in here but if i list every single one of them i can hunt down#this post will be 2 miles long#shit like 'they love really frilly dresses' and 'they have exactly one (1)stuffed animal their birds gave them they pretend they dont Adore#(its a floppy little bottom-heavy plush crow with button eyes. one of the swatchlings made it for the host club's sleepover event.)#(cinnamon thought the customers would like it better seeing all these huge birdfolk with cute little stuffed animal buds. and she was Right#(and swatch just. never got rid of it. they love their little floppy guy look at that their bird made that for them they gave it a bowtie)#it sits on the headboard of their bed so it doesn't get lost among the blankets they nest in. -- swatchlings sleep in nests also#huge nests made of blankets and pillows. let them loose in a Homegoods and just see what fucking happens#see what i mean i can just keep fucking going forever. this is the shit i think about when im like. doing dishes#this is what i mean when i say i'm rotating my blorbos in my head#thinkin bout random ass headcanons that dont have anything to do with the source material. they're just fun. for funsies :)

Heya, was just wondering if Spamton has met Jevil and if so how did that go??
Oh my Spam has definitely met Jevil before, at least in the past before he got corrupted (maybe even before he became a Big Shot). They probably didn't even have a long interaction, but it bothered him enough that he remembered it. I imagine he just hates clowns/jesters in general because of jealousy. He doesn't really understand them. Their jobs revolve around being laughed at. In his perspective, they make fools of themselves or impress people by doing stupid things, and they enjoy it. Spamton, on the other hand, DOES make a fool of himself, albeit not by choice (he just sucks at selling things), and receives no good attention nor service for it.
(ALSO. I'M SORRY THIS TOOK SO LONG TO ANSWER?? THE ENTIRE TIME I WAS LIKE "Damn, I can't answer this until I learn how to draw Jevil cause I gotta draw this out!" and then it just occurred to me that like... I CAN JUST RESPOND??? WITHOUT A DRAWING TO ACCOMPANY IT??? HELP)

Just a Little Something Up Ahead
(Aka: A very long overdue apology, where I’ve been, where I’m going, and the future of my blogs (Spoiler alert: I’m not going anywhere, but updates are needed))
Tagging everyone I remember writing with frequently on my blogs in the hopes they see this and read the whole thing: @pcrplevenom , @nxtleftbehxnd , @misfitxofxfriends , @ssatxr , @advnterccs , @opportunistic-chicanery , @trickywanderer , @twistytwine , @automaton-otto , @monmuses , @raktanag , @dragonizens , @alicerozen , @arianatheangel-girl , @saltygempearl , @castleofmxses
Please take the time to read this whole thing if you can. This has been a long time coming and I don’t want anyone to feel as if my absence has been anyone’s fault, because it absolutely has not been, under any circumstance. It’s been entirely me, and my own inability to maintain all of my blogs during college.
Hello everyone. If I’m remembering correctly, this is my first non-reblog post since last October, when I vowed to come back and respond to the Halloween threads I attempted to start and obviously, disappointingly (most especially to myself), never did. I felt very bad then and still do, because it was going to be my first time interacting with several new blogs and I just…ruined my chance to make a good first impression because all will to write Garnet completely vanished. Some of the people that I tried to start interactions with are tagged in this post, and to both you all and those I write with all the time, but especially the first-timers, I apologize deeply and hope you can forgive me for letting you all down like that.
I know there’s a million worse things to be guilty of on the internet than abandoning your rp blogs because you have no muse, but this has all been just as bad as those worse things to me. Although I’ve undoubtedly been having fun on my Spamton blog I’ve also been feeling incredibly guilty, and for leaving you all in the dark as to my thought processes and IRL reasons why I went away I once again deeply apologize. No words can properly express to every single one of you all just how sorry I am for disappearing this past year and a half. It’s been a long time coming, but now that my fall semester at college is over I feel now is a good time to explain everything and talk about where me and my blogs are going from here.
The number one thing is, of course, college. Even in my freshman year, prior to my Spamton blog, I was having trouble maintaining multiple blogs and characters at once due to work sapping all of my writing energy. Coupled with the jobs I ended up getting, especially the one I’ve had since June, trying to run five blogs at the same time proved impossible. So, foolishly, I took the easy way out and stayed put at the one I had, and still continue to have, the most muse for. I don’t regret doing so, as it made balancing everything much easier to handle, but I do regret not telling you guys somehow first and leaving you all behind like I did.
The other main thing is…hard to explain through just text with no tone indicators, so please bear with me and know that, again, me leaving most of my blogs and you guys behind was no one else’s fault but my own. Attempts to properly come back here and apologize have been stymied by me finding my prior writing style and tagging system cringy and disorganized, respectively. Of course, it was only a matter of time before I felt this way: This blog has been around since I was 17 and now I’m 20, with much more writing experience behind me and the ability to refine my tagging process over the course of my different blogs. This blog feels stuck in the past in comparison to my Spamton blog, my newest blog, in a certain way, in regards to that. Especially with the disorganized tagging. What was I thinking 🤦‍♀️
That’s not even getting into the muse pages across all of my blogs, further worsened by the fact that I’m primarily mobile and can’t edit them at a moments notice or create fancy Caards like all of my mutuals. They make me cringe more than my writing in some ways. Please do not look at my About the Mun page on this blog, I will be removing that when I can 😬
Returning here eventually became associated with regressing to how I was back in 2020 in my mind, and soon that began to spread towards how I felt about my other blogs, too. I was rigid in replies and sticking to plots, barely sent partners memes yet inwardly expected to be sent them in return, and never really IMed or communicated except through tags. I am happy to say that over the past year of silence I’ve gotten better at all of that, but you all shouldn’t have had to suffer while I figured my shit out. But nevertheless I still left, and hid away at my Spamton blog until now.
I want that to change, desperately. I miss you all. I miss Garnet. I miss all of my other muses, too. But considering I’m a junior in college now, with my capstone/thesis fast approaching, I don’t know how difficult that’s going to be. And of course, I don’t want to abandon my Spamton blog, either. Whatever I end up deciding, however, I need to update all of my information pages to reflect my current standards and make my tags more easier to navigate, like they (mostly) are at my Spamton blog.
So until I can find the time with my busy holiday work schedule to do this necessary work on all of my blogs, all activity is currently at @thebigshotman . Feel free to send in memes, random asks, and interact/IM me there, if you’d like! I’ve gotten a lot of crossover threads going lately, and much like the Haunted Mansion there is always room for one more 😊 So please, if you’re still interested in interacting with me after all of the shit I’ve done, head there for now.
I’ll be reblogging this on all of my other blogs tomorrow so as many people see this as possible, and know I didn’t forget about everyone. Changing everything looks like it’s not going to happen until after New Years, so consider coming back to everything my New Year’s resolution-except unlike many resolutions, this one is actually going to happen.
Thank you for taking the time to read all of this, if you indeed still are. Like I said, I’ve missed you all dearly, and I want to come back. But I can’t until I’ve done some very overdue updating and organization. (Everything old will stay tagged as it is, but going forward things will be easier to find.)
I’ll see you all soon. And this time, that’s a promise.
Love, Mun Bri ❤️
Relationships/friendships with Garnet and all of my other muses will remain the same unless you or I message each other agreeing otherwise

Anime North 2023 💀👍
More highlights and photos under read-more
I originally was going to have my Spamton plush with the ‘CRIMINAL’ sign but his head was too big and would make him fall
scene punk Rainbow Dash cosplayer passing by as I was strapping Reigen to my chest and saying I look amazing
people yelling ‘criminal!’ when seeing the Reigen plush
the two tabling that specifically said ‘Reigen in jail!’ (I bought a Mob pin from them)
the person who only took of photo of Reigen plushie, not me
migraine and forgot ibuprofen but Im so so strong and brave (my vision was going in and out all day)
seeing a golden guard Hunter cosplayer and we both pointed as a first reaction
another Hunter cosplayer who was a photographer so they asked for different poses
accidentally approached a table thinking the person was talking to me (they weren’t)
buying mp100 merch from a table and letting them know I was changing to Reigen later so they asked me to come back when I do
coming back and a lot of pointing and thumbs ups
being thankful I decided to bring two cosplays to switch between because wearing the coven scout cosplay meant 2-3 layers on my legs and I was melting
I walked HOW MUCH?
Tumblr media
being in a different cosplay so it doesnt feel as weird circling the same tables over as I do
uu-chan!!!
I even thought to myself earlier that day “I wish I had an uu-chan”
people that specifically took selfies with me rather than just me (I find it endearing)
someone complimented my cosplay then asked to punch my Reigen plushie whoever you are, I felt that punch in my hand, I hope you had a good day
my eyesight is bad, and the sun made seeing my phone harder, so I kept accidentally taking videos instead of photos
didn’t want to keep the cosplayer waiting though so I opted to just screencap the videos later
two at a table called my attention for my Reigen cosplay, said I was the only Reigen they saw I said “well there’s TWO here” and pointing/posing with the plush they lamented that their Mob pins sold out just before I arrived it’s the Mob pin I bought earlier too so I let them know I actually bought it before in a different cosplay the recognition at the Reigen plushie and yelling “Reigen in jail!!” “yes, but he’s been freed!” just some silly cheering about it
anyway shout-out to @warddraws​�� because I think I’ll be using this Mob pin often
the guy that accidentally hit my shoulder:
Tumblr media
this Miku
Tumblr media
debating buying a poster I was staring at for a solid minute, coming back for it later and the artists being like “Reigen’s back :)”
seeing a sans and reigen magnet parody poster, panicking when ppl behind me started talking about it and heard “..he looks like-”, and sped-walked away
forgot to come back to that table.... I didnt get to actually look at their merch im sorry
I really don’t know why I felt so self-conscious there cuz I thought the poster was hilarious??
also lamenting a beautiful MP100 print I saw that was sold out, and pretty Hanzo merch because I have enough Hanzo
watched people playing DDR and being impressed and afraid of ppl that are good at it
someone who was cosplaying Mob but changed before we met (which is still :() but called my cosplay ‘crisp’
scribbled down requests from my friends when waiting (reigen kicked out of walmart) (reigen as a coven scout)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
reigen gets burger king
is burger king
Tumblr media
now scrolling through the Anime North tags and yelling at merch I didn’t see what I was there that I would’ve bought
alas
my legs are still dead but this was one of the most fun AN trips I’ve had actually

Finally... finished updating and now I'm confident enough to share my girl again. So here she be!
Viviana P. Addison
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Yeah, my artstyle and outfits are kinda inconsistent but for the most part this is accurate and up to date.
More character info below if interested! ⬇
Likes
Bunnies
Her close friends
Satisfied customers
Openness
Strawberry flavored sweets
Dislikes
Duplicity
Pettiness
Late stage capitalism
Fast fashion/false body image
Abandonment
General Character
Vivi is the type of Addison that prioritizes more on customer satisfaction over anything else. She is super nice towards everyone and a people pleaser, but do not mistake her kindness as a weakness.
Vivi will know whether you're being genuine or not. She'll playfully poke fun at, and brush off those who try to put her down until they get fed up and leave. (If bigotry is involved) she might secretly blackmail you if you're harassing her or her friends too much.
Vivi's also not just a pretty face either, she'll defend her friends and loved ones whenever it gets feisty and is not afraid to lose some feathers from it. She's also the mediator of the Addisons' friend group whenever they get into a heated argument. It's rare to see her genuinely furious. But it gets scary when she does.
Vivi gained her "Mama" nickname because she has a similar mom-like demeanor and discipline towards the Addisons at times, and how maternal she can be with younger people.
Vivi sells soaps, lotions, fragrances, and candles. There's another section of her store that's slightly hidden that sells more intimate products such as adult toys and apparels.
Relationships
Orlando S. Addison (Orange): A therapist friend and voice of reason when Vivi is under the weather. Super helpful buddy for his info-gathering and feedback. Asks Vivi to make her his muse for his seamstress projects from time to time. Nickname: Orly.
Sunny V. Addison (Yellow): HUGE prankster and energetic with no filter. A ball of sunshine that pulls the heartiest of laugh out of her. Makes impressive graphic animations and voices one of Vivi's advertisements. Nickname: Sunshine.
Jaylene B. Addison (Blue): Closest friends with Vivi (besties). Very flamboyant and admires Vivi's femininity and strength. Takes her for photoshoots for both of their banner advertisements. Nickname: Bluey.
Pierre C. Addison (Pink): Cocky and a (friendly) bully for healthy competitiveness. Develops feelings for Vivi over time. Helps each other out with how to gain more traction on their websites (sometimes, clickbait is involved). Does tea and culinary sweets and Vivi is the first test subject. Nickname: Pinky.
Samson E. Addison (White. Now known as Spamton G. Spamton): first close friend and first relationship partner with Vivi. Fairly shy but enthusiastic and passionate about his interest and his future potential. Not so lucky with his advertising job, but Vivi helped him from time to time and give him financial aid when it's dire. Nickname: Sammy, Spammy.
Swatch: pleasant butler administrator who understands the value of customer satisfaction. Vivi became his current valued customer after Spamton ran away from being evicted, disappeared from the Mansion, and knew how Spam treated her. Enjoys having a chat with her and gives work, general, and personal advice. Vivi promotes his Color Café on social media. Nickname: Swatchy ( when he's off work).
"Divorce" Ark and Current Year
When Spamton became a Big Shot, it was perfect through the year 1997. But then he started to neglect his relationship with Vivi, alongside with the other Addisons for the sake of pursuing more on his new advertisement carrier. Spam became more blunt towards the Addisons on competitiveness. But with Vivi, he was more avoidant about his antics and making up excuses in fear of hurting her.
But the more he became busy, the more neglectful he became with the relationship. It came to a point that she had enough and separated. From there, they've never seen each other again. Since Spamton escaped from being evicted and disappeared.
That's not to say she didn't suffer emotionally and didn't miss him. It took years for her to open up and heal. she's still willing to give second chances but this time it's platonic. She'll be more enforced and vigilant of Spamton's antics.
She's currently starting a relationship with Pierre (Pink).

I was really bummed out when I saw the page for the [[BIG SHOT]] Spamton fanzine since I missed the order date for it, and I thought I'd never get my hands on it.
Then, lo and behold, I managed to find a pristine preowned copy! This is what I mean when I tell people, "If you're meant to have something, you WILL get it. You don't know when, but you'll end up getting that thing or achieving that desire, etc." Is free will an illusion? No, it's just KROMER.
I now have the magazine in my hands, and I'm VERY impressed by the artists and writers who took part in this. I wish I could have participated! I love the glossy bits on the cover, too.
Tumblr media
The charms and standees are so cute. Unfortunately, I haven't found anyone parting with theirs, but if anyone has some... I would not mind to get my hands on them. Anything to add to my growing Spamton "shrine."
Lol, whenever I get enough, I'll snap a pic of it. I put all his stuff near my nightstand and bed so I can fall asleep every night to the PIPIS! Fitting since it's also where I keep my rosary, Mother Mary, and glow-in-the-dark CRUCIFIX! Truly on his way to HEAVEN, lads.
Now, if only I could find the Addizine physical copy I missed out on, too. Ehhhhhh

I phrased stuff weird and I want to clarify Treetop **IS ALSO** a "queer disabled nerd." What I meant by "queer disabled nerd" being part of Windows design notes is how she is very open and confident about her identity and her labels. More of a first impression than an objective truth. Like for reference (in the script drafts) the first time you meet Windows she is geeking out and laughing. The first time you meet Treetop isn't even in person, its through him leaving passive aggressive notes.
Cuautle has worked with Treetop for a year but only learns midway into the plot that he Has Interests (horror movies, anthropomorphic objects, new wave music). Treetop hates infodumping and showing excitement, it makes him feel out of control. Windows will infodump to anyone anywhere.
Also despite Treetop having one eye I don't think he ever in his head labels himself as disabled. He just says "I lost my eye." Windows took time to warm up to the label, but nowadays she uses the word a lot, which is why I use it so often in her character descriptions. She uses the word a lot because people misunderstand her and think she is just either "lazy / attention seeking" or infantalize her, so she needs the label to empower herself.
The only identity Treetop is proud of and not repressed about is being Native, because he had his family and friends throughout his life that were Paiute like him. I think he feels some guilt over pursuing his evil government scientist career, since relative to his younger years he's hardly spent any time engaging with his culture and community. (Treetop is kind of a spamton-esque figure. dont ask what it means carry on). But its definitely something he is surprisingly confident in and open about considering how hateful he is to everything else about him.
tldr; Treetop and Windows are both queer disabled nerds but what I really meant is Treetop is an introvert and Windows is an extrovert.

i swear i will never understand UTDR fans' fixation on the idea that toby fox will go undercover to do an ARG to mess with fans and that he loooves doing things like that and it's "such a toby fox thing to do." he literally never does this... he had to go out of his way to clarify that he will never ever do this, and yet people still expect it for some reason
also this may be a bit of a generalization, but i think someone in my generation's idea of an ARG is a bit different from what ARGs are like now/what people have come to expect from them. he is aware of the ZDK-12 ARG from back in 2014, for example (an immersive, interactive story about a charming sentient bot on tumblr) but lately "ARG" seems fully synonymous with analog horror/found footage/spooky cryptic stuff. so i think by sheer coincidence spamton ended up being a character that people perceive as being connected to that sort of thing... or something like that. idk how to better articulate this, but Your Typical Modern ARG seems uncharacteristic of toby's style of work despite the impression people may have gotten
imo the spamton sweepstakes was the closest we're going to get to an experience like that, and it was very much not an ARG and self-contained on official sites/social media (or clearly linked on those). there is no need to scrutinize random reddit users or contact random gmail accounts, ever

Grats on the premire! If we can ask production questions: how did you guys settle on everyones designs- even the brief ones?
Thank you so much! We're all blown away by all the positivity and encouragement from the fanbase, and so quickly too!
Multiple people designed multiple characters, some creating the entire design while others taking a sketch and adding lines and color. The most important part in all of our designs is that we kept the character designs, silhouettes, and shape language similar enough to make the characters recognizable.
I'm doing to be talking about my ( @ebenrosetaylor 's ) designs for virovirokun, werewire, and plugboy! If you want to hear about the design process for specific characters like Queen, Spamton, Ralsei, etc... Be sure to send an ask about them!
Viroviro-kun!
Tumblr media
This was the first design (aside from Noelle) that I really wanted to nail down to make them as iconic as possible. They always gave off the impression of being very 2D and flat, which matched really well in my head to how gingerbread cookies are! From that point I gathered a variety of gingerbread cookie images around my sketchbook (a lot of my sketches are done digitally and transferred to the computer for cleanup. This same process happened for werewire and tasque as well) and gave it gumdrop buttons and frosting around its body. I also saw the potential for christmas tree shapes in its arrows and altered them a bit more.
When I brought it to the computer I wanted to be sure that the colors made it recognizable as virovirokun while also keeping in mind that the colors needed to carry the idea that it's a gingerbread cookie. I chose a brown that felt like it worked well with the rest of the bright and saturated colors and then worked with the rest of the colors in the original palette!
Werewire and plugboy!
Tumblr media
I designed werewire before plugboy, knowing that whatever I did for werewire would have to be reflected in the original lil guy. I struggled with this one a bit because FOR SOME REASON I forgot Christmas lights existed. I toyed with the idea of them being suspended by tinsel or ribbons, but it wasn't clear enough in my original sketches. When I finally got to the conclusion of "oh, christmas lights!" i knew I would have to add on more to it. Otherwise, the only difference would be the lights on the wire itself. So I thought about werewolves and how my friend would always draw them with really fluffy necks and I thought a wreathe would be cool too! the ribbon also sells the point pretty well.
I brought werewire over to the computer to color it and kept most of the colors in their original places. I did have to make the wreathe and the ribbon a slightly darker color so that the green wouldnt blend in with the upper arms.
Plugboy is admittedly my least-inspired character design out of any of the designs in the AU. I forgot about them in the first place and didn't get to their design until after I was storyboarding the part where Kris and Susie enter the dark world! I literally remember saying to myself "Ehh let's just slap a bow on em and call it a day." But hey, the original werewire design is much more visually interesting than the original plugboy design, so it works out in the end!
This was really fun, I'd love to get more asks like these!

hey!! love your fanfics, you're such a great writer and it never ceases to impress me whenever i reread your works !!! (your jevil characterization is delicious. i know you get praised to high heavens for the adds and spam, but i think jevil is a bit underrated and you do him such justice!)
i was wondering if you would consider it feasible in your fic for spamton to get some sort of antipsychotics/mood stabilizers. (I've seen you talk about him potentially getting medical help for his glitching, to help lessen the severity just a bit, which i quite like the idea of)
i think the main hang up i have with this is that i have no idea what darkner therapy/psychiatry would look like. what the mechanics of such a system would entail, what the meds would look like, etc. or if it would even work, considering spamton's. everything. and i sincerely doubt spamton would ever talk to someone about his mental health. ever. for like. a lot of reasons.
i was just curious your take on it, feel free to ignore
gosh that's so nice of you, anon!! tysm i'm so glad you like my writing :D and that jevil is appreciated he's like the most fun to write out of everyone. i wish there were more of him in fic but alas i'm doing my part! (also i apologize being late but i wanted to think on this one hehe)
honestly i've thought long and hard about him getting some stabilizers of some kind because it wouldn't be impossible, considering he's some sort of malware that, albeit different than virovirokuns, still obviously harbors viruses. It's just getting him that tender loving care that's difficult but he'll get to it with some help from his buds. They drag him to see an ambyu-lance (or even ralsei in his nurse getup lol) and from there, he sees the true extent of how messed up he is on the computer-malware-scale. Lots of emotions with that :')
i agree with you on the last part. Though i think physically he'd be down for alleviating the glitching as much as possible, it's unlikely that he talks to someone about everything going on with him mentally. He has Jevil that understands what he's gone through, to a degree, but he's stubborn and also he physically can't admit a lot of it due to the aftermaths of his time being puppeted.
(though i had this idea of swatch kind of persuading him to talk to one of their swatchlings that has had an interest in acting like a therapist. sort of like a 'give it a shot' thing. Spamton is not happy about this but reluctantly goes along with it. Spamton-esc chaos ensues?)

Spamton?
Send Me a Character & I'll Tell You✨️
My first impression well technically my first exposure to him was all the cute/suggestive fanart that was appearing everywhere on the internet shortly after the 2nd chapter came out! and my impression was pretty?? neutral? like- I thought he was kinda cute but not much else- but after playing it I was like "ok I get it now >w>"
My impression now he´s a precious puppet man who deserves hugs and kromer *holds out two handfuls of kromer for him to take*
Favorite thing about that character PUPPET!!! I am always weak for puppets, especially if they have ventriloquist dummy mouths!! but also, I love the whole ´pushy salesman´ aesthetic very nice UwU
Least favorite thing the fact that he´s clearly suffering and neither kris nor the player can help him- he´s living in a dumpster, his speech is glitched and broken, his friends literally just peace-d out and every single approach you take when battling him ends up with him dying WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO US TOBY?!?!?
Favorite line/scene favorite line(s) AND favorite scene is that one scene in his shop: "WHAT ARE YOU AFRAID OF??? ACCORDING TO [[Encyclopedia of]] [[Being Afraid]] THERE'S NOTHING TO FEAR EXCEPT ...can anyone hear me? Help..HUH??? WHAT?? NO, I DIDN'T HEAR ANYTHING JUST NOW!!!...BUT IT SOUNDED LIKE THEY WERE TALKING TO YOU."
Favorite interaction that character has with another honestly, I love all scenes where he´s talking to Kris, but it´s pretty clear that he´s actually talking to the player (at least that´s what I think)
A character that I wish that character would interact with more none- I quite like the approach that Spamton only really talks to Kris, because it underlines that they´re in the same boat (like, why would spamton talk to anyone else if he knows the truth?)
Another character from another fandom that reminds me of that character hmm I mean, there are quite a few salesman characters I can think of from the top of my head, but Spamton is quite a special case, isn´t he? eh, I can´t really think of one that comes close!
A headcanon about that character he´s touch starved and at the same time afraid to be touched also, I imagine he has quite a fear of water due to the battery acid incident
A song that reminds of that character basshunter - I will never be afraid again (I don´t know why- it just has a vibe)
An unpopular opinion about that character I honestly have no idea if any of my opinions would be considered "unpopular", but I guess my general opinion of him is just?? he´s the puppet equivalent of a raccoon. he´s adorable, but he will bite you if you get to close- dont touch! its for your own safety!

I could watch him dance for hours, look at him go!
