#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 in my wonderful world where i can draw anything i want forever i love it here

[nebulacollected]

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:

Jevil was disproportionately popular for how long he was there.

Spamton was arguably the most popular Darkner in Chapter Two.

If the popularity increases continue at this rate, I fear what will happen with Chapter Sevens secret boss.

Some spamton art and rambling

Spamton is a very interesting character. Anybody who had payed attention to Deltarune after chapter 2 would know this. And his sheer popularity makes sense. His odd way of speaking, the perfect mix of quirkiness and terrifying insanity, the tragic backstory. The elements are all there to make a insanely well written character. But uh- I'm not here to gush about how good of a character Spamton is. (I mean, technically I am) I'm here to look at his character specifically through the lens of him being a spam bot.

Despite what the addisons said about Spamton being "like the rest of us," I think Spamton always was meant to be a little different. The way his appearance is very similar to the addisons but not quite the same - I'm pretty sure his marketing tactics followed the same principle. Whether it was because he was simply a bit more pushy with his advertisements, or that there was something a bit unnerving about his character even before gaster/the mysterious entity came into play, I'm sure there was a reason the customers ignored him. Just like how people ignore real life spam emails. They're annoying, unsafe, weird, stupid. Spamton was always meant to be ignored. To be that one email guy popping up at people with advertisements on the streets. People just DON'T LIKE SPAM.

Then the mysterious entity came into Spamton's life. Somehow, defying all logic, they made spam emails popular. They made Spamton popular. But they also gave him knowledge on the nature of their world. That everything is controlled by the plot and other such unseen forces, and that nobody can truly make their own decisions in this world. With this, Spamton knew his popularity really wasn't supposed to have happened in the first place, but everybody already loved him, (well, the addisons left him- but that was just because they were jealous! He didn't need them!) and he'd ride the wave as high as it'd take him.

But it all came crashing sooner than even Spamton expected. Without the entity's help, the world corrected itself, and everybody went right back to hating spam emails. Spamton would go back to being that forgetful email guy. No, it was even worse now. At least back then he had some people that were friendly to him. Now... he had nobody. He didn't even have a house.

He was always meant to be this way, wasn't he? No matter how hard he tried, the world simply wouldn't let him be a big shot. Spamton absolutely hated that. He wanted to fight back against this cruel world. Now, he didn’t just want his popularity back, he wanted freedom. To escape the confines of this story and his role as a personified spam bot, to become something… more. To truly become a [BIG SHOT]!

But that didn’t change the fact he was still a spam bot. And what do spam bots do? They just keep sending emails to as many people as possible, just in the off chance somebody will click that link. That’s exactly what Spamton does to try to gain his freedom. He latched on to a ray of hope- that robot in the basement- and repeatedly attempted to sneak inside the queens mansion to get to it without regard for exactly how good his plans are, in the vain hope one of those attempts would succeed at one point. He just kept trying. Over and over and over… slowly losing his mind even more in the process. There is evidence that he tries multiple times to get inside the basement, with Sweet Cap’n Cakes mentioning a “funny little man” asking them for help to sneak in the mansion, and Swatch mentioning an impersonator- which is probably Spamton. Which uh… the image of the tiny dude dressing up as this huge bird guy and thinking it’s a clever enough disguise to get past everybody in the mansion in a funny thought- but kinda sad at the same time. Seriously- did Spamton really think there was a chance that’d work??? But I digress.

Even with his repeated unsuccessful attempts to infiltrate the mansion- there was one attempt that worked. When Kris and the player came into the picture. But even with the help of a lighter and a literal god-being on his side helping him with his plan… he still failed. That neo robot didn’t do anything for his situation. He was still trapped. And so he turned against Kris, and by extension the player, in a last ditch attempt to get his freedom. That was what fully solidified his utter failure. He was going against us. But even if he hadn’t attempted to fight the player, he would’ve have failed in any other attempt anyways.

From the very moment Spamton decided to oppose the rules of this video game world, to try to become something more than a spam bot, he was destined to fail. Even if he managed to get Kris’s soul. Even if he somehow became as powerful as Asriel in undertale, he still wouldn’t get the freedom he wants. Because he is a character in a video game, and he will never become anything more than that.

he made it into my work doodles

[buwheal]

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.

[reginalusus]

It will never not be funny to me that whenever people are doing a skit with Spamton, or just making a comment in Spamton's dialogue under art or memes, they always start his sentences with "KRIS!".

"KRIS! YOU [little sponge], YOU! WHAT DO YOU THINK OF MY [drip]!?" "KRIS! HELP ME! I'M A [sexyman]! I HAVE A [[sexypedia]]!" "KRIS! IF I DO NOT WIN THIS [1V1 Battle] I AM GOING TO FUCKING [[walk into traffic]]." "KRIS! WHAT THE [[censored]] IS A D1LF!?" "Kris, I miss my wife."

[wouldsmoochapuppet]

As much as I delight in content where Spam gets flustered right from the get go, I also really love when him becoming head over heels for someone takes a while to set in.

I think he’d definitely be a flirt but flirting is mainly a sales tactic, so it doesn’t mean he’s actually interested in someone. He’d also definitely opportunize on somebody showing interest in him, not thinking it was actual romantic interest. Surely they also want something outta him, not want him himself, right? So it’s just like a game. Just banter. Even though this person and he do genuinely enjoy each other’s company. And he’s sticking around for more than just material gain.

After some time passes finally it’s like OH #%!$!!! THIS WAS NOT PART OF THE PLAN becoming really aware that he’s falling for them. THEN that blushing flustery side comes out though he denies it because his ego can’t handle that it’s so obvious.
