spamtenna addled brain

made a new tumblr after years off of it because spamtenna grabbed me by the silly strings!! a spamton lover first and a spamtenna truther second and a human being third probably mostly posting rambles and maybe art if i make any

[aaaaaaaaaauu]

little spamtenna thing i had swimming in my head the past few days

edited the art to change tenna's stray pixels to a discoloration thing! wanted to do warping like anon suggested but couldnt figure out how to simplify it in a b&w sketch HAHA

[aaaaaaaaaauu]

Call my name anytime, and I'll come hither

which monitoring best friend remix did y'all watch...

Spamton mistreating people is a big speculation in the fandom. We have no evidence that he mistreated anyone before he lost everything. Even the Addisons themselves admitted to us that they stopped hanging out with Spamton because they were jealous of him.

But do you know who canonically mistreated everyone?

And he was like this before Kris created the Dark Fountain, by the way

[vinihyperfocus]

He stole his WHAT?

Do you have more information about this? I'd love to read it!!

It's amazing how Swatch, the Addisons, and apparently Tenna also stole from Spamton

[sinbrook]

It's implied that Tenna didn't have his nose back when they met.

I mean, they both have the exact same nose, and Addisons just sort of naturally have a snoz like that, so Spamton could not have copied the nose and I don't think it's a coincidence that they both have the same nose. I think it's an intentional visual comparison.

Add that to all the dialogue that says the nose is fake (the TV dinners having Tenna noses in them, Tenna having a drawer full of fake noses according to the Mikes, Tenna mocking Spamton's nose and calling it small/making the fake Spamton head have a smaller-than-usual nose because Tenna has been convinced it's some sort of status symbol to have one). I feel like Tenna definitely took the nose off Spamton. It really feels reminiscent of the Big Shot Bowties in Swatch's inventory.

I think there's a definite tendency to like... Reverse-woobify Spamton. Like being so scared of woobifying him that they demonise him instead, and you definitely see that when people portray the people he dislikes as perfect angels.

I don't think Undertale or Deltarune ever really worked like that. Nobody is a purely evil person in these games, they're just people.

"Why would you listen to anything Spamton said? He's a liar! Tenna/the Addisons/Swatch are innocent! I can't believe we thought the TV was evil!" is just as silly a position to have as uncritically believing everything he says. He's not lying when he mutters vitriol about the people in his past, it's just his perspective on the situation, which is probably, y'know, warped a bit, but he was deffo wronged by the people around him just as badly as he did wrong by them.

Oh man sorry I ended up going on an entirely unrelated ramble, lol.

[vinihyperfocus]

Oh my god I didn't know about this Mikes dialogue, I need to find it!!

No, you're completely right, and you should say so!! I'm tired of people vilifying Spamton for things he didn't do, or he's clearly the victim.

And strangely, the things Spamton actually did wrong, people just ignore or forget? Or do they act like only Spamton did it wrong when literally every boss in Deltarune and Undertale did it too? Why he's the only exception man... and betraying Kris wasn't even his first option. Why does almost everyone act like he wanted to betrayl and kill Kris from the start?

I remember I posted a month ago about how people try to put the mindset that everything that happened to Spamton is his fault and he deserves everything that's happening to him. Because maybe lying to themselves about Spamton like that they wouldn't feel so bad about themselves for making fun of a homeless and disabled man

The weirdest part is that a lot of what Spamton said is actually true?? Everyone really abandoned him. Tenna actually makes illegal contracts.

Like, maybe I'm crazy, but I can't quite believe in people who:

1. Saw someone running away so desperately that they forget their phone on, and their first reaction isn't to worry about their friend's well-being (or at least letting them try to defend themselves instead of assuming the worst) but choose the phone, physically hurting someone they consider family and telling them about their depression.

2. Was protecting a drawing that was deleted years ago and is along with other corrupted data while they already know someone who suddenly became a puppet and now talks really weird and their whole body is glitching; only to later sell that same person's tie, but with the brand removed.

3. Ex-coworkers who got jealous because their friend became more successful than them, and never having the decency to help this ex-friend who is now homeless, and they knew where he works and lives, and now they call him "unwanted mail" or "freak" while stealing all his ideas and slogans

Yeah, I don't think these people are good people, much less reliable narrators. This doesn't seem like innocent to me. This is actually pretty evil.

(But not that I don't think they can change and improve! And apparently Spamton would forgive them pretty quickly, since Tenna hadn't even apologized but yet he left Kris's inventory when he learned that Tenna "really do care")

[vinihyperfocus]

I personally thought it was just Spamton basically divided into three where he genuinely thinks he's respecting Kris's choice (hallucinating), where he thought merging with Kris would also be a good thing and would actually benefit both of them equally and the last one where was killing without understanding what he was doing (but not that that takes away the responsibility for his actions), but this thing of him thinking that "freedom including what to die for" gives another layer, very good 🤌🤌

[non-non-operator]

Yeah, I can see how he deludes himself into thinking this is respecting Kris' choice.

Personally, I like the idea that it's showing how he values freedom of thought/belief ('this is the hill you want to die on, so i'll let you die on it') over the moral problems of using extreme violence to get what he wants and how that might be a restriction of freedom. Or perhaps more specifically, how his time with the phone has shaped his perception of freedom in that he only sees freedom in terms of positive liberty and disregards negative liberty. In that, he only sees freedom as positive liberty; he doesn't consider negative liberty at all. Because to acknowledge negative liberty would mean admitting that all that time following the phone's advice (either under threat of losing it all or puppet-ification [both of which eventually happened to him]), he was never free at all. That despite how he thought he escaped his darkner position as spam, he never achieved any real sort of freedom because it was always dependent on something else/conditional on his obedience thus always under threat.

Though, it's also likely that it's a mix. That because he believes this, he genuinely believes he's respecting Kris' choice/offering an actual choice. But also, he doesn't fully grasp just what he's asking Kris to do (which is die). Either unconsciously blocking the line of thought that concludes that Kris will not benefit from giving their soul to him or assuming Kris will just Be There and not examining that in closer detail. It's also possible that he thinks Kris dying isn't the end because Heaven is a thing. Though we don't know what Spamton's concept of Heaven actually consists of...

[vinihyperfocus]

Yes yes yes!!! That's exactly what I was trying to say

[aaaaaaaaaauu]

I love your AU so I sprited your Sneo

OH YM GOSH.... THE SOUND I MADE WHEN I SAW THIS!!! AGH!!!!! LOOK AT THESE TWO HANDSOME HOSTS OMGGG... I will be staring at this for hours and weeks and months to come this is legitimately so so amazing AHHHHH

[aaaaaaaaaauu]

what was the name of that documentary you mentioned in the tags of that reblog? about the woman who got surgery to always have a smile?

If i remember correctly it was only a small part of a larger documentary on cosmetic surgeries! But I recall it being in chinese and I saw it a while ago at a relative’s and can’t find the name when I search online… TT I’ll keep searching and update this post if I do find it!

[pluer-in]

I keep thinking about Tenna calling spamton stop fooling around with his smile，what if spamton just cant

[aaaaaaaaaauu]

just a big doodle dump

[aaaaaaaaaauu]

Wait, where is that Spamton image from? Is that new merch, or did I miss something

Yep! Its a cover image for the new piano covers album, the sneo one was for the big shot cover!

[aaaaaaaaaauu]

I'm so sorry for barging into your house and rearranging the furniture (spam liking and reblogging everything yeah.......)

Ur welcome to do so anytime… come again

[aaaaaaaaaauu]

Because they gave him abs now or whatever

[aaaaaaaaaauu]

I had to cram like mad for a college final yesterday, but every few hours I'd open up your blog to stare at your sneo art and think to myself "do it for him" to motivate myself to keep going. Because I studied so much, I ended up getting a perfect score, so I think you should get some of the credit for this. Nice job on my anatomy exam, Tumblr user aaaaaaaaaauu

oh my god. I am extremely tickled by this and very very happy for your perfect score!!!! Sneo is always there for you when you need him. Never forget that.

[aaaaaaaaaauu]

thinking about puppet spam still having a little nub leftover from his previously fluffy feathered tail...

[aaaaaaaaaauu]

links to my evergrowing vocaspamtenna playlist(s)

spamtenna playlist

spamton-specific playlist

mostly vocaloid but some other jp stuff in there !

[aaaaaaaaaauu]

i wanted to say thank you because your art hit something inside of me and now i'm writing again :D. something about Tenna's sad face as he asks, pleads Spamton to not harm himself just made me wanna write them communicating :)

WAAA I'm so so happy i could inspire you oh my gosh...!! i'd love to read whatever you're writing if you end up ever posting it! :) <3

[aaaaaaaaaauu]

so much to catch up on

[aaaaaaaaaauu]

I saw you had a Spamtenna playlist and I'm curious if r-906 Mysterious Phone Call or Psi would be fitting. ALSO. NEVER apologize for making vocaloid "slop". You're like the coolest person ever. I'm eating it all up and getting brainworms

omg anon are you in my head HAHAAH yes i do!!! ive had psi on my tenna specific playlist since day 1 bc i was like ohh my god its... its so him.... but you made me go listen to it with a spamtenna perspective and i really dig it, esp for the chorus like ?!?

my goddd!!!! these bitches doomed!!! It's definitely being added to my playlist now haha

And YES i actually rediscovered mysterious phone call a few weeks ago bc I was listening to the chogakusei cover and when i saw the rotary phone i had a 'ohh i should look up these lyrics' moment, ive already promoted it in the spamtenna discord im in haha. It's almost too perfect for them?! It's been on my spamtenna playlist since I rediscovered it!! Also, becaue of r-906's style, I feel the long instrumental breaks and punchy hooks really give a great vibe of their drawn out ill-fated relationship too, something with spurts of addictiveness and long periods of dread, but they'll always need more, they'll always be back for more.

thank you for the ask anon!! im always so so happy when i get an ask about vocaloid songs and spamtenna i was whooping for joy when i saw this ask, i just need to find time to sit down and make a coherent reply to it hahaha

Perhaps I can shoot you back a rec too! I really like YM's 'Dance and Dance' for spamtenna! :D

[aaaaaaaaaauu]
