#spamton ramble

[marketableplushieenthusiast]

Inside me are two wolves.

One recognizes the Spamton NEO fight as horrifying and disturbing, even spared on a regular route, both for Spamton himself and Kris (or whoever gets slotted in the betrayed player spot in the dozen different crossover AUs I have bouncing around my brain). It is his ultimate mental breakdown, the freedom he wanted all this time being just out of reach, so he turns on the one person who went out of their way to help him. Kris is terrified and disheartened, but fights for their life anyway, and just when it looks like they got through to him - just as Spamton realizes that, for once, someone didn't give up on him - he falls. Because that's what happens when a puppet's strings are abruptly, forcibly cut. And Kris gets to see this play out right in front of them. Spamton's only hope is to give up his desperation, his passion, his hope that has kept him going all this time, and settle for less, and Kris is notably distraught afterwards. And I know all this. It's why I became so obsessed with it in the first place.

The other wolf freaking loves the thing. Gets all excited and giddy just thinking about it. The cutscene lead up is so terrifyingly, awesomely tense, the music SLAPS, the yellow soul mechanics and attacks are so FUN. Despite the meta storytelling - the very reason I love Deltarune and Undertale so much - silently judging it, I have a save file set permanently before the Spamton NEO fight just so I can go refight him. (And I am THIS CLOSE to booting it up rn-)

The inherent contradiction of being invested in the characters' perspectives and arcs and wanting to take them seriously, but also wanting to go replay some of their most traumatic moments for FUN because WHEEEEEEEEEEE-

Ugh.

... I mean, Adachi Rei is a real robot but I wanted to include her. Was also debating on Spamton's inclusion but fuck it he's a spambot he gets a pass

100% sure it's been made multiple times but I wanted to make my own version

Day 9: Looking for inspiration

i had plenty of free time today yayyy :D

for this one i was thinking about lack of inspiration.

you see, inspiration can be pretty tricky… sometimes you’ll struggle to catch a good idea, so you’ll consume others’ instead. or you’ll try to do other things, to forget about it for some time. but not for long, as the need to create desperately pulls at you, screaming for a damn idea.

the idea must be there! somewhere! somehow! time starts ticking in a loop, and your head either gets really loud or way too silent. but in the end, none of this should really matter, as you know that eventually everything will come together as it always does. eventually…

Me: I am normal about this character. This character doesn't affect me in ways that it shouldn't to degrees that it shouldn't. When I see this character, I act so normal, people don't suspect anything of me because I'm so normal for this character. Yep, I am 100% normal about this character-

Someone: Hey, this character-

Me:

THERE WAS AN INESCAPABLE NEO FIGHT GLITCH??? SWATCH SPRITE IMPROVEMENT? HOT DOG

Omg imagine if that was canon with the NEO glitch, Spamton trapping you in the fight with him like Omega Flowey in UT....

Interesting detail about Chapter 1 and 2's secret bosses; to challenge them, you have to travel downwards. That is to say, deeper into the darkness, and closer to the fabled Dark Sea from which the dark fountains are theorised to originate from.

And isn't it interesting how, when fighting against both Jevil and Spamton NEO, the backgrounds become surreal thematic extensions of their respective characters? The nightmarish pseudo-3D carousel of Jevil's cell, and the equally-nightmarish cityscape infested with Spamton's likeness? Isn't it interesting that any sense of cohesive reality starts to break down during these encounters, as if you're on the cusp between dreaming and waking?

And isn't it interesting that the recurring theme of these nightmarish experiences is the desire for freedom above all else - as if we are seeing Kris's deepest, darkest fears made manifest and reflected back at them, at what might be considered to be the closest point between the edge of reality and a realm of pure dreams?

...I think about this sometimes.

Spamton is actually a gifted kid burnout icon

Damn, Spam, did the cake taste that bad? - bad joke. Sorry you're havin' a rough day. We're here if you need to talk, or if you just need a distraction.
