#i dont know? because seam knows spamton too????

[mar64ds]

i really want to know when jevil and spamton met each other because spamton changes a lot from regular spam email, to celebrity, to the strange puppet he is now. jevil changed too but i don't think he changed as much, at what point in their lives they said 'you know what, lets date'

[paintedplum7]

DID SOMEONE MENTION GASTER????? hey hi i love him too eheheh

any favorite headcanons about him?

HIIII YES IM NUMBER ONE GASTER FAN IN THE WORLD I HAVE A BILLION HCS !!!

•Points at my pfp and then looks at you with my eyes. Gaster is very much a transfem/genderqueer lesbian to me !! I got enlightened from a vision months ago. For even longer I’ve hc’ed Gaster to be intersex and using it/its pronouns!!

•Gaster created the Darkners! It’s my current theory as of now and I’m OBSESSED!! It’s such a fun concept thinking of them as his OCs! It ties into the implications that Gaster created the Dark Worlds very well as well as its interactions with Spamton and Jevil—they’re its little meow meows to me. Other concepts I had include Rouxls Kaard being Gaster’s old repurposed persona (I have a whole post about it and everything) and Starwalker and Nubert originating from doodles he did at work or maybe from being bored in college. Ralsei is definitely his current favorite OC it should be really obvious.

•Gaster is a man of many trades! Woodworking, the arts, crocheting, puppetry, mechanics, you name it! This also relates to the second hc! String puppet Spamton, Jack-in-the-box Jevil, little Beanie Baby Seam, custom playing cards with all the Chapter one Darkners—they’re his tuoys :)

• It ALWAYS speaks very ominously and cryptically—that’s how he was before he got shattered and that’s how it always will be. I like to imagine he makes long pauses after every phrase and then picks up at the weirdest moments because it’s silly like that. I actually have a joke where I take random memes that remind me of Gaster and put them in all caps and add ellipses after every word on Discord—here’s a compilation of my faves:

• Gaster’s relationship with the Player is very intimate—in the close fondness way not the sexual kind. This can be actually supported by tweets AND DID YOU KNOW THAT HES THE ONE SINGING DONT FORGET!! IN THE JP VERSION THE LYRICS ARE IN GASTER’S SPEECH PATTERNS !! HES WITH ME IN THE DARK !!!

Its in love with me he wants to show it’s beautiful world to me and have a lovely adventure. HE PLAYS SAD MUSIC WHEN YOU QUIT THE GAME FOR FUCKS SAKE.

•Grillster and OC x canon (smiles)

there's actually something so weird about how people default to gendering characters as male when they are nonbinary but dont realize. And this is specifically about the Addisons. Because i become older and eviler each time i see someone he/him the pink one, who's the only one we know explicitly uses they/them. And this is no shade to anyone in particular because i have seen ONE (1) person not he/him them, and they did give em extra pronouns but that's fine. But like neither them not the rest of the addisons are particular masculine. In fact, they are pretty feminine. The wide v necks the small waists the fucking limp wrist. It's not even like most characters in dr and ut have visible breasts or eyelashes if female. You even meet them before meeting Spamton so it's not even like Well. he's a guy so these must be guys too (?). A similar thing kinda happens with Swatch too tho but most ppl seem to respect them. I feel with Swatch and the Swatchlings being all he/hims it makes more sense too but behind them you can see these birds all look just as beefy independent of presentation. Seam is a case im not even upset about bc well Seam, Sean, masculine name, must be a guy. It's dumb but this game usually doesn't play around with gendered names. Well, Seam and Kris being the exception but Seam is a pun and i'm sure Chris can be short for female names too such as Christine and shit. I'm just rambling but i'll just finish by sayin it REALLY upsets me to see that pink fucker be he/him'd. Respect the nonbinary grind.

I know im posting too much about deltarune this last days but ima do it again

If last week i was losing my mind, in this week i dont have a mind anymore

Im still questioning WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED

[under the cut if you want to see someone slowly losing it]

First, ralsei randomly changing form. i know we saw this last chapter but now its more uncanny. How did he get taller (also the fact he can just appear in other dark worlds and not turn into stone but this isn't that important)

Rouxls Kaards and Seam being extra suspicious, because Rouxls head doesn't turn into stone and he was stopped from using his real power whatever this is, and seam apparently knowing what are the shadow crystals and being able to take one from your different save and talking about a boss harder than Spamton and Jevil

Spamton basically confirming the influence of gaster in this universe, apparently knowing about jevil who probably also got crazy because of the man who talks with hands, and also his crazy talk about freedom and the chilling way he just breaks when you win against spamton NEO

Noelle having issues with the word "december" alluding to the fact Dess has disappeared and that's why asgore was sent out of the police force and toriel end up divorcing, and noelles mum's acts weirdly AND NOELLES DAD IS JUST WITH A UNKNOWN DISEASE THAT IM SURE WILL TIW INTO THE PLOT (and also what is this between rudy and asgore RUDY YOU ARE NOT DIVORCED YET)

You can manipulate noelle into killing literally everyone just because yes, so you traumatize her and now berdly is dead

And also she may be or at least have connections to the angel

Kris just RIPPING THE SOUL OUT OF THEIR BODY IN THE BATHROOM WHILE SUSIE AND TORIEL ARE JUST BAKING A PIE

GETTING OUT OF THE HOUSE BY THE WINDOW (SO THEY ESSENTIALLY JUST CRASHED INTO THE GROUND AND PROBABLY FELT PAIN, BUT NOT LIKE IS A BIG DEAL COMPARE TO THE FACT THAT THEY TAKE THE THING THAT KEEPS THEM ALIVE OUT OF THEMSELVES)

SLASHING THE THINGS ON THE CAR MAYBE BECAUSE HE DOESN'T WANT ANYBODY RUNNING AWAY

OPENING THE DOOR SO UNDYNE WILL NOTICE THEM

AND JUST CASUALLY OPENING A FOUNTAIN AFTER PUTTING THE SOUL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SOFA

And just

who are the titans?

aren't we gonna talk about the fact that there are literal GODS most likely going to appear at the same time asriel comes home?

AND YOU KNOW WHAT'S THE WORST OF ALL OF THAT??

THIS IS NOT EVEN EVERYTHING IS MAKING ME FREAKING OUT

TO THE BIG THINGS THAT CAN DESTROY THE WORLD TO THE LITTLE THINGS LIKE SUSIE NOW BEING IN TOUCH WITH PEOPLE (AND NOELLE) TO THE FUNNY THINGS LIKE THE BANANA TO THE EMBARRASSING THINGS LIKE BERDLY PREVIOUSLY LIKING NOELLE AMD NOW LIKING SUSAN TO THE THINGS I CANT EXPLAIN LIKE ONION-SAN BEING ALL "IVE HEARD A SONG OR SOMETHING" TO THE CUTE THINGS LIKE ALMOST CANON SUSELLE TO THE JUST BLATANTLY WEIRD ONES LIKE PAPYRUS JUST BEING NON-EXISTING FOR SOME GODAMM REASON

I LITERALLY CANT POSSIBLY SAY EVERYTHING, THE ONLY WAY TO SHOW WHAT'S MAKING ME LOSING GRIP OF MY SANITY (PROBABLY ALREADY LOST) IS JUST POINTING AT THE FUCKING GAME

BECAUSE HONESTLY IT'S IT IN ALL IT'S ENTIRETY

Ha ha i needed to get this all out of my throat,

sincerely, a random deltarune fan who is now insane

[spirit-shroud]

what are some roles that have been largely changed for cityrune? since you said queen was an influencer now :]

hi ty for asking me im vibrating. havent gotten to talk about this au now for three years and now that chapter 2 is like real and this time i can like........draw occasionally and i have more understanding of nuance...... [grips table] [screams]

this isnt quite what you asked but heres what's everyone from chapter 1 has been Up To with a little bit of context (and under a read more bc it got LENGTHY):

kris - professional stay at home teen (they live w/ asgore n help run the flower shop sometimes. this decision was entirely bc i dont like toriel). was wrongly diagnosed w Sudden Soul Rejection when they were incredibly young and given an experimental transplanted soul as a replacement. it works for them fine, give or take having to see gaster once a month for checkups. but sometimes the soul makes them skittish n decides they're going to sit in front of the pc and play 30 consecutive hours of a certain simulation game and not even let them drown people in the pool. if it were entirely up to them, they'd be like. passing out on the sofa to documentaries about bigfoot. or practicing cool knife tricks to impress their friends at their next tabletop meetup

- EDITED IN: the soul is kind of their friend. they are wearing a hypothetical get along shirt. most of the time, they agree on actions and things to do. tends to refer to themself + their soul as we/us which originally was just something they did in their head but they kept slipping in speech/text n just became a Thing of how they talk. switches to 'I/Me' whenever smth is wrong.

- also edited in: they believe the soul they have is their original soul bc nobody has told them otherwise. whenever theyre like 'oh yeah we think about our soul n view it as a separate entity to us like. all the time. it likes to hurt if we make too many choices it doesn't seem to like and kind of forces us to be a toned down version of what we want to be but thats just how souls are haha' and everyone is like.... 'Hey Kris That's Really Not How It Is.' theyre like. 'huh. gonna ignore that for now' - this was going to be a plot point

toriel - head of H0MEWOR1D (H01)'s department of education; kind of lost her roots as a simple math teacher as she was pushed into a lot of power she didn't even really seek out. divorced asgore over some miscommunications in their relationship; also loosely as a result of grief from asriel's death

asgore - the same. runs a lil flower/gift shop. people come in more to talk with him than to buy flowers most of the time, though

asriel Flowey - he's back in flower form, thanks to the government an accident. causes a lot of technology glitches wherever he goes, and wants revenge. isn't sure how to go about it. asriel "died" around 8 years before the story takes place and kris still misses him and refuses to even THINK about even the IDEA of calling someone their sibling after what happened, just in case it somehow happens a second time

susie - more of the same really. she spends most of her time either at grillby's (she's sort of become his assistant n helps with opening/closing. it just happened) or getting into low-stakes trouble w/ kris

noelle - she's in the city's equivalent of college and shes so tired. shes So Abysmally Tired n got kinda pushed 2 follow in her mom's footsteps. she's rarely around anymore except through text or on monsters & mages (dnd) night. (however.........she will come back w/ a long break n hang out w everyone again)

berdly - tbh i didnt even consider berdly when i made the au initially. idk what he's doing. probably in a similar situation to noelle??? canonically got kicked out of the M&M group due to clashes w/ other players but lurks in their group chat to posts memes sometimes

didnt rly think of any other of kris' classmates (+ their families) after ch1 and probably will continue to not, until chs 3-5 come out and i gotta whip up roles and histories for like. a lotta guys all of a sudden. i also forgot about noelle's parents

sans - runs a convenience store that everyone kind of thinks is a front, but also it has really cheap snacks and the local teens make a point of stopping there after school. so essentially, more of the same papyrus - similar to ut. is a very polite and sweet boy but you'll know when he's coming

grillby - he's back. he runs a bar like back in ut but the cozy vibes and weird-for-a-bar hours keep attracting kids who need parents, so half of his menu is comprised of overly sweet mocktails. usually only frequented by monsters

QC - same as usual. has a "rivalry" with grillbz but, theyre besties and have a book club

mettaton - he's real and he's back. he's similar to how he is back in ut w/ his EX body. likes to hang out at grillby's and talk to unsuspecting fans. has a show for everything

napstablook - similar to how they are in ut. helps mtt with making music sometimes. doesn't leave the house too often, but spends a lot of time posting on undernet

undyne - unfortunately. more of the same. she is a cop in the monster district. i am also upset by this but couldn't think of anything better for her

alphys - a doctor studying under dr. gaster in the hopes she'll one day take over his research. she spends most of her time as a nurse with a bigger title, though, and blocks out the weirdness of her job with anime.

gaster - weird guy. H01's top soul researcher and resident House wannabe. trying to manufacture the ultimate soul that can be controlled with simple internal switches, but so far he's only had 1 (very limited) success with a certain human. monsters just melt, and darkners just sorta......get weird... he's onto Something, though.

ralsei - lonely boy with some very strange hobbies. popular on UnderNet for poetry, baking videos, and general cryptid vibe. is the DM for the monsters & mages group (also seems to think everything is actually very fine in H01 when it is very much not)

lancer - about the same. professional Round Boy. lives w/ rouxls full time. follows susie around like a lost puppy and calls himself her "underling."

rouxls - runs a hotel/casino kind of deal where the objective Bad Guys hang out, and usually ends up doing any of the spade king's paperwork.

spade king - mafia godfather. kind of a dick. don't play cards with him

seam - works with the spade king as his right hand cat more or less because they have for a lot of years and are in that 'sunk cost fallacy' zone. thinks of retiring to a quiet life in the monster section of town like, daily

jevil - used to work with the spade king, but got imprisoned for Crimes. got weird after The Accident (separate from asriel's accident)

temmies (all) - dont really get mentioned except offhandedly but they run the monster space station. so far, are the only monsters who have ever been to space.

as far as chapter 2 goes:

yeah i dont have much so far for characters. in the original version of the au i accidentally made darkners as a whole just kinda..... not great? like all sorts of weird organized crime ties n sort of going out of their way to be A Problem to the city (not even in like. a revolution way. in a working against them but with the same goals kinda way). with the whole context it worked At The Time, bc i just had the spade king to look to as a villain, and also in this au the darkners are just trying to survive a world that ultimately was not built for them (that humans think they own, and monsters sort of... seeing this and wondering what it'll mean for them whichever one wins), but w/ new info abt how the dark world works n more guys to work with i want to kind of. edit the vibe a bit. like yea darkners will ultimately do whatever it takes to take over H01, but maybe in a better way than like. idk. all this. it doesnt have to be peaceful or anything it just has to be more adaptable as we meet more kinds of darkners

however yeah i thought up 'queen as some sort of childless mommy blogger/influencer' and that completely revived all memory i had of this au. she should be on mtt's talkshow. also she sells collectible wine glasses w/ her likeness

spamton is another one of gaster's failed soul experiments, but he hasn't melted yet, and seems............fine? sort of. so he hasn't gotten decommissioned yet. he does want to give you malware tho. hot monster singles in your area n all that

im blanking on the rest of the guys but i hope any of this was comprehensible

[bigshotautos]

putting this under a cut just for blog cleanliness LOL. hi (waving)

god. the idea of them meeting pre-corruption is really good. ive been going off the basis of jevil already being in contact with gaster and acting as a lackey. them being willing friends before this gives a lot of things to think about. like, jevil trying at first to tell people around him that he knows, like seam who kind of gets it and then spamton, who it doesn’t stick with either and feeling even more isolated and validated in the thought that his prison is the only real freedom out there. i hesitate to look too heavily into the ‘mike’ stuff just out of the fact that i dont want my headcanons to get totally obliterated by canon when it does roll out, but the mystery contact posturing himself as someone else other than the person that corrupted jevil would track well in this scenario.

For meeting up post-NEO fight, I think it’d be really rocky. Jevil’s been isolated for a long time in any case of how they knew each other before he was imprisoned, and he’d still see the world as a game and Spamton as just another person or thing to mess with, just like anyone else. I personally HC that Seam was damaged during their fight with Jevil, because at that point of corruption Jevil had no problem turning his power against his closest friend because if it was just a game, why not? The world would revolve again back to a state where everything was fine, and even if it didn’t, the world wasn’t real. Jevil would need a lot of time (with following around Kris and Gang’s adventures) to feel like their actions, even if they’re within a game, still impact the people around him. People that he’s grown to care for, and regardless of it’s a game or not, the long term of having them around is more fulfilling than treating them as disposable nonentities.

SO LIKE tl;dr I think Jevil would be a huge asshole at first, feeling justified in his perceived ‘freedom’ making him better than everyone else. But I really think Spamton’s worldview of seeing freedom as agency could mellow him out against Jevil seeing freedom as doing whatever he wants with the game he lives in. Spamton’s been through the same shit, just from a different angle and once those align more they can really click.

need 2 get words out of my head or my head will explode like a confetti party popper. thinking about potential jevil / spamton meetings based on the scraps we know in canon
