Hello there! Call me Krom (they/she), this is a space where I will be sharing some of my deltarune and undertale AUs and fics as well as my general thoughts! If you are interested, why not stay a while?

[kromeratus]

♤MASTERPOST ♤

Heo there! And welcome to my Masterpost! My name is Krom (They/She), I am 26 years old and I plan on sharing some stuff for some of my favorite games and ships here, including fanfics and AUs! Do keep in mind, I will be exclusively creating for undertale and deltarune in this blog. Here you can take a look at my monstersona!

Below is a list of ships and characters I will be writing for, going from my most likely to less likely (if I have ideas, they will be on this list).

•Spamtenna

•Soriel

•Alphyne

And now is a list of my current works:

♡Shadow Angels AU♡

After the events of Undertale, Gaster ends up with the human souls in his possession and distributes them among certain darkners for a new experiment, thus creating the Shadow Angels. This is a mostly Spamtenna AU, but you will also find Kralsei, Soriel, Queengore, Sevil, Alphyne plus some good ol' Ramb.

•Fanfic on AO3

•Beta Spamton design

♡(Annoyingly) Devoted to you♡

A human Spamton/monster Tenna AU set 100 years before monsters were sealed underground. Spamton is tricked into killing and absorbing the soul of a momster noble, leading to his punishment being an eternity of serving under monster kind. He spent the next fifteen years acting as a trashman, until he is requested by his ex lover, the Duke Ant Tenna, lord of Teles. This is a Spamtenna purist AU.

•Fanfic on AO3

♡Noble Monsters♡

Alphyne fix-it fic that goes more into depth into both Alphys and Undyne's character, rewriting them both in a more compelling way without changing too much about the original undertale game. In this AU, alongside Boss Monsters, there is something called noble monsters, monsters more powerful than your average one said to be descendants of monsters that managed to absorve human souls. Alphys is one of those and now she feels the weight of her family's history on her shoulders.

•Fanfic on AO3 (TBA)

•Alphys design

♡Deltawitches♡

AU that completely rewrites Deltarune and aspects of undertale to make monsters and some darkners demons while humans and some darkners are witches. Kris, the child of Frisk, the most powerful witch to ever live is enlisted to save the world from its destruction by awakening their power and making contracts with as many monsters as they can along the way. Spamtenna, Alphyne and Soriel are all present here.

•AU masterpost (TBA)

NEW ADDISON HEADCANONS:

I'm working on a new Spamtenna fanfic, so I thought I would update my headcanon for the Addisons. Here we go:

-There are more than just four Addisons in cybercity, in fact, the actual number is closer to 40.

-An Addison's color is based on what they were created to 'sell.' Pink addisons were made to wear clothing and jewelry, blue addisons were made to sell food. They are the most common types of Addison in Cybercity.

-Orange addisons are advertisements for cars and there is only one of them in Cybercity.

-Adds will be named based on what they sell with the suffix 'on' at the end.

-The Addison all more or less live in their own block in Cybercity. Think Little Italy in New York.

-In fact, all Addisons would be italian if they were humans/lightners. They all have an italian accent, but generally suppress it with the exception of Spamton.

-Spamton is a weird Addison in the sense that white shouldn't be an Addison color. He is a mutant due to how he was created. I don't want to say that Spam is the Karkat of Deltarune, but Spamton is the Karkat of Deltarune.

-Spamton has three older siblings. A blue, pink and orange addison. They are named Ediblon (Blue, They/Them), Silkon (Pink, he/they) and Sedon (Orange, They/Them).

-Addisons are actually very human like, they mostly look like shiny humans. Spamton is the exception. Due to his Spam mutation, he also has bird features, like a tail and wings similar to that of a cuckoo bird. He is the only Addison capable of laying eggs.

-Spamton and his brothers were all made by the same lightner, that being Nice Cream guy (long story short, Nice Cream Guy is really good with technology and he is the one lightner shown to have the ability to do that type of stuff. Also, he easily bends to pressure, so I can see the businesses in the city pressuring him into doing their marketing/advertising.)

-Addisons can freely move between darkworlds as long as they contain a computer with their respective adds. Asriel received Spamton's add, allowing him to travel to TV studio freely. He originally arrived in Dess' laptop and she was found of this Spam email due to how 'broken' it was (it had a lot of spelling mistakes, the art was strange, just a weird email.) Her and Asriel would laugh at it together fondly, hence why she sent it to him. After Dess' disappearance, Asriel deleted Spamton from his computer since it reminded him of her.

-That is also the reason why, even outside of Neo, Spamton is the most powerful of the addisons. A darkner's power is based on how much love they receive from darkners. While Spamton hated the love that Dess provided him because she never took him seriously, it did allow for him to become stronger.

-Spamton is the only darkner who can hear Dess, and sometimes he speaks to her, however, she can't hear him back.

-Spamton also used to date a yellow and a pink Addison for a short while. Their names were Cotton (Pink, she/they) and Andron (Yellow, They/Them). They were not made by anyone in Hometown.

Now, for some individual headcanons for the Addisons (not all of them, just the ones mentioned here.)

Ediblon-

Ediblon is the oldest of Spam's siblings and the 'head' of their family since they moved to Cybercity from Nicecream Guy's computer. They have a huge crush on Swatch, though they are too shy to ever confess. They are the one most interested in finding Spamton and the one who went looking for him.

Silkon-

Silkon is the second oldest of the Addison siblings and he deeply resents Spamton for abandoning them during his big shot years (in his point of view at least.) He has a very unhealthy situationship with Swatch. After moving to castletown, he also develops an unhealthy relationship with Battat.

Sedon-

The second youngest of the Addison siblings. They live in the same home as their older brother. They were married to a plug, until Queen's take over. Now, their wife is one of the two werewerewire and they could not be happier to be married to the tall queen.

Spamton-

Born as the youngest of the sibling addisons. He was afab, though his siblings never fully accepted his transition. He was also picked on constantly for his mutation, leading to him hiding his wings and tail whenever possible. After he became a doll, he lost his feathers, wings and tail which he now realizes he greatly misses. In his Neo form, he gets them back. Spamton was also quite the casanova, having dated other Addisons, Swatch, Tenna and Jevil at different points of his life. Tenna was the relationship that most mattered for him, though.

Cotton-

Cotton deeply resents Spamton for their relationship. They started dating before he became a 'big shot', and he essentially broke up with her once he rose in popularity for greener fields. Now, she is married to Task Manager, and they have several cats together as well as a deep hatred for spam email. She loves cats and is the best clothes advertiser in Cybercity. Her personality is more down to Earth, preventing her wife from freaking out too much. She is the one killed during Snowgrave.

Andron-

Spamton's first ever romantic partner, they broke up way before he became a big shot in a very nasty way. Since then, they would hang out with Spamton for the sake of their best friend, Sedon, but they never got along. Now, since moving to castletown, they are in a relationship with Pluey and couldn't be happier. They are very blunt when not working and absolutely cannot stand injustices.

CHAPTER 3 OF DELTARUNE IS DISAPPOINTING

Now, no. I am not saying that chapter 3 is bad or even the worst in the game. I still think that chapter 1 is the weakest story wise, however, I do think that chapter 3 is the most disappointing. My reason for bringing this is because I think that there are some really big expectations set up in chapter two that really fall flat.

Here is a take that might still be controversial: I still like Undertale a lot more than Deltarune, even if I do generally prefer the characters in Deltarune. The main reason for this is due to how Undertale is written. See, while Undertale is not written in 'chapters', it is fragmented based on the locations of the underground. Each location also follows a certain 'character' who we are supposed to help grow and develop, generally the final boss of the location. In the ruins, that is Toriel, in Snowdin, it is Papyrus. In Waterfall, that is Undyne, Hotlands is Mettaton, and we end with Asgore. In a pacifist run you kinda get that with Alphys as well, but we never actually fight her. Personally, I don't think that all of these characters are treated equally, with Papyrus being the best in the game, followed by Mettaton, then Toriel then Undyne and, finally, Asgore as the least devoped of the boss characters in the game.

Now, Deltarune has a fairly structure to its characters, both using its final boss and the companion that accompanies us. This companion generally being a lightner, the boss a darkner. In chapter one, the companion is Suzy who has a change of perspective and ends with her fighting the equivalent of her old self in the King of Spades. One of the issues with chapter one is that King doesn't have much of a personality outside of being Suzy's 'shadow.' Much like Asgore, we only see him at the end with Lancer being the one to interact with the party for the most if it.

Chapter 2 fixes this with Queen and has the strongest sets of characters altogether so far. Yes, I do think that Tenna is an overall better written character than queen, however, in the triad of Noelle, Queen and Spamton, the relationship between these three and with the party is far superior to something like Suzy, King and Jevil in chapter one or Tenna, Toriel and the Black Mantle in chapter 3. Chapter 4 is weird, but we will get to that later.

The main point is, chapter 1 and 2 establish a structure similar to that of Undertale, which chapter 3 then completely ignores by having Tenna steal the spotlight completely to who should have been the 'lightner companion' established aka Toriel. Hell, he even 'steals' the spotlight from the secret boss. It isn't lost on me that Tenna never wanted us to play what is the true secret route of chapter 3, unlike Queen who is effectively the reason why we meet Spamton or champter one with king being completely apathetic to it. Now, this could all be intentional. It is VERY in character for Tenna to want to steal the spotlight for himself, even in his structural role, and I am aware that this is likely an active subversion of expectations.

I just don't think it works really well. And no, I won't act like I am not biased. I love Toriel, she is in my top five favorite characters of the original game. And I get it, this is what Tenna does. But couldn't she at least have had something? At least a small role to play instead of being an inert object through the ENTIRETY of the chapter? Hell, have she be the one to interrupt Tenna's third game show, have Tenna be trying to capture her and us trying to save her. You can even do an expectation flip at the end by having Suzy talk Tenna down on trying to keep us there or make a deal with the knight, only for Toriel to do something similar to Undertale and try to take out the main threat in Tenna, so we have to actually protect him from her, talk her down. We can even have Tenna fighting alongside us, momentarily replacing Ralsei, who doesn't want to interfere with a lightner, especially with something that has nkthing to do with the prophecy (or better yet, that is part of the prophecy. Maybe he just assumes that Toriel will be the one to cleave Tenna in half.) We then talk her down, convince Toriel that Tenna isn't a threat, only for the knight to show up. They slash Tenna and down Toriel, but we stop them from taking her, we get the stuff with Undyne and Toriel wakes up assuming it was all a strange dream.

That is just one way to do something with Toriel where she gets to play the same role, but keep some agency, since, so far, she has little to none in Deltarune.

Now, I don't want this to seem like I want the game to play exactly how I expected. Chapter 4 is an even greater break of expectations, but I love how it does it in opposition to chapter 3. Why? Because Gerson is both lightner companion, secret boss and, in many ways, world boss as well. He fulfills all of those roles without stealing any spotlights. Quite the opposite, I would say he enhances the roles of the characters in the party much better than any other bosses before hand. In other words, the final bosses are all a reflection of the adults in the life of these teens and, so far, Gerson is the only truly stable one of them. That is why he breaks convention, though. He doesn't need us to change him, he is the one who changes us. This is brilliant.

This is why I say chapter 3 is disappointing. I know that it has the potential to be better. The game knows how to work our expectations properly, but when it comes to chapter 3, it just doesn't. Justice for Toriel, I really hope she gets better treatment going forward, both from the fandom and the narrative.

I headcanon that although Spamton is actually being pursued by larger and more powerful beings, he also has psychotic episodes on a daily basis. One of the only people who understands that he's in a psychotic episode and knows how to help him is Kris.

I also headcanon that Kris had psychotic episodes when they were little, they did art therapy in a hospital, so they must know a little about it. And even if they didn't know because of that, they're a teenager with several undiagnosed disorders, they would probably research it on their phone lol

One of the most important things when someone is having psychosis is to validate the person's feelings and not deny it, and unfortunately many people who want to help but are ignorant about the subject end up doing the opposite. So I can see Susie and Tenna not quite understanding what Kris is just doing and thinking that they are making fun of Spamton.

They're worried about Sampton but don't know how to tell Kris that isn't nice to prank him when he's "like that". They don't want to fight with Kris, but they still don't know exactly how to tell them that they think this isn't a very nice thing to do.

When they finally told Kris what they thought about it, they thought Kris were also pranking them when they said it's the best thing to do.

Meanwhile Ralsei is doing his own research to show them that what Kris is saying makes sense and is the healthy thing to do.

I just really love it when characters who don't know much about mental health but want to help others who struggle with mental health, like Susie and Tenna <3 and I like it even more when they educate themselves about it to help more people <3 <3

made this one in a fit of seething rage

[raisedbat]

id: screenshot of a textpost edited to say "[sprite of queen from deltarune] doesnt like drowing spamton in acid or killing people or any of those awful things u post with her... she likes making people happy and cyber citys funniest home videos n thats that" end id.

[kromeratus]

Was taking a nap between work and I had a dream of Kris, Asriel and Tenna fighting Toriel in a way parallel to undertale, where she is trying to stop Kris from being a hero/saving the world due to wanting to protect them and Asriel and Tenna are trying to convince her to let them do their think and that got me to think

[kromeratus]

Sometimes I worry that I might be sexualizing Spamton too much while writing and drawing him. Then I remember the sweepstakes and all my worries disappear

[kromeratus]

I like undertale's neutral endings. I have been in the undertale fandom for over fifteen years now, and I can tell you that 90% of AUs and fanfictions follow either the pacifist run endings or the genocide ending and I think that is a shame.

Don't get me wrong, I love the pacifist ending for that game and the genocide route still gives me the creeps, however, some of the neutral endings in Undertale lead to such insane scenarios that really build on characters. Some of my favorites are the one where Toriel comes back and becomes queen, the one where Papyrus becomes king and the one where Alphys becones queen. And they vary quite drastically too with how life carries on in the underground. Some are hopeful, like the one of Toriel and some can be quite terrifying, such as with Undyne taking over. And some are truly just somber, and yet they are not spoken about much.

And that is a shame.

This isn't just a rant regarding the fandom's actions towards the neutral endings, however. This is about Deltarune.

Because just like how all of the neutral endings in Undertale are technically the same ending, Frisk tries to leave the underground with Asgore's soul and ends up trapped in eternal darkness, I too believe Deltarune will be similar in that it will end the same way regardless of how you play that?

What is the ending? Dear reader, I am here to reveal how I believe Deltarune will come to a close. The grand finale of this epic narrative where we save the world. Are you ready to see it? Are you ready to witness how this epic tale might conclude in my eyes? Dear viewer, behold the ending to a game that has been a decade plus in the making!

Deltarune

Will end

With Asriel going back to college.

Yeah, that's it.

I think that, no matter what our actions are, the fun gang *will* stop the apocalypse and save the world and things will carry on like normal, regardless of what you choose.

This isn't to say that our choices don't matter. We KNOW they do. But I think it is worth analyzing how our actions matter in Deltarune, and the simple way to put it is relationships.

See, I think that the prophecy is going to require the sacrifice of all darkners to save the world. It is why Susie is so upset about it. She has made a lot of friendships in there. She wants to save them.

But what about Kris? And this is a slight tangent, but I have a slight question to you, reader. Does Kris actually care? Not about the lightners, we KNOW they care about Susie and Noelle, but does Kris care about the darkners? Mind you, the darkners are manifestations of their and the knight's mind, likely from a very very long time ago when they would actually give objects a personality (yes, I think that the knight is Dess. This is not about that though.) A big theming with darkners is the idea of irrelevancy. That they don't matter. That they aren't real, and I think that is how Kris sees them as well. At least, at first, if you choose to show them that path. If you choose to teach them to care. Because the truth is, Kris not only thinks they have outgrown most of these darkners, such as Tenna and Ramb, they also believe that it isn't worth truly connecting to them since their fate is set in stone, as is Kris: to be a cage, a vessel who will likely die as soon as we leave their body and the story ends. To them, it is hopeless. To them, they are trapped.

And yet. When meeting Spamton, they still take a step back in fear. And they still shout after the Neo fight after they likely thought Spamton was dead. So clearly, they aren't completely apathetic. And this becomes more true the further into the stiry we go. Kris' relationship with Ralsei will increase and grow fonder if we allow it to. And it is true that they are trapped and just a puppet on a string.

But my question in here, dear viewer, is, are we really the ones pulling their strings? If so, why does the prophecy describe them as a cage? Why were we given a vessel, a creation, only for it to then be discarded? Why are they so adamant at keeping the SOUL at arms' length?

But that is a theory for another day. The point is, Kris, knows that this story only has one ending and they see this as a curse. But it is as Gerson said. Endings can be rewritten, stories can be reinterpreted and there is a reason why Susie is the one holding the pen. And you know what I find particularly interesting? Susie, while she CAN and WILL go against the SOUL's commands, she isn't aggressive or rude about it and she is willing to comply when she thinks that we are right. You know, the Gerson fight is the soul and Susie working together, we defeat the titan by acting together and those are only a couple of examples. Think about all the acts that we can play with Susie. In other words, sure, Susie isn't passive towards the SOUL, but she isn't difficult either. She just doesn't always agree with us. You know. Like friends often do.

But I think that both Susie and a player who has gone out of their way to recruit ALL enemies can agree that they don't want all darkners to die. And even if darkners do need to make a sacrifice, that doesn't necessarily mean that they need to die. Much like how in chapter two, different darkners will offer different skills after you collected them, couldn't they do the same in the final battle against the titans? Couldn't their sacrifice be about helping us with however they can without losing their lives in the process? Can't the sacrificial lamb appease god without offering its blood?

I also believe that the final ending of Deltarune will have a few other relationship changes among darkners, for example, Susie and Noelle might get together as will Undyne and Alphys in the good ending. If you push them to. And so can Kris snd Berdly and maybe even others! (Rudygore, I'm looking at you. Actually, it would be really funny if Deltarune ended with a divorce of Carol and Rudy ngl)

As for the snowgrave route. Well. I am sure you can imagine that likely won't end well for most darkners and for the lightners, we will end up either strained or worse.

Finally, we have the neutral routes. The whole point of this post. See, Deltarune already does neutral routes a lot better than Undertale did, because depending on who you have recruited and saved, you can get special events. So, sure, maybe you didn't spare everyone in chapter 2, but thay doesn't mean that Tenna can't become King's jester in chapter 4.

And even if there is only one ending, even if this ending isn't anything grandiose like most theories seem to believe it will be, Deltarune is about the inside. It is about the journey and, literally, the friends you made along the way. Deltarune is about the space in between, the quiet moments that will take you to those destinations. And it is about deciding who is worth saving the world for.

That is all to say, I look forward to seeing the neutral routes in Deltarune. I hope others will too.

[kromeratus]

This is the worst game ever.

Spamton develops a crush on Tenna again (for those unaware, they divorced in my island)

I leave them be for a day

I come back, Tenna also has a crush on Tenna. I get beyond excited.

I stop checking on them for a few days, I have some other Mii drama to solve

I finally checked on them again today

WHAT DO YOU MEAN THEY HAVE BEEN SWEETHEARTS FOR FOUR DAYS, GAME?!

[kromeratus]

Something that I don't see analyzed enough about this fandom is how Tenna reflects Kris' mentality and, potentially, their future similarly how I think both the king of spades and queen reflect the knight.

Starting with the latter, both king and queen share this view of duty that makes them 'evil', however turns out to be wrong due to lack of information. King believes that the knight will create a world for the darkners, where lightners get punished for abandoning them and yet he has no idea of what the knight looks like and likely is not aware of the prophecy. Similarly, queen wanted to create a better world for the lightners where she ruled without realizing she was hurting them in the process and that her actions could destroy the world.

And then we have Tenna. Tenna likely doesn't know about the prophecy, and unlike king and queen, he isn't interested in a grand goal of world domination. He just wants to be watched or, perhaps, loved again. He just wants for things to go back to how they used to, much like Kris. Even if that means conspiring with the knight and maybe lying to his friends and those he loves most, just like Kris.

Just like how their pasts reflect their creators, I, too, think so do their futures. Both King and Queen have a bit of a redemptiom arc, though Queen's is a lot more prevalent and fourth coming, and I truly believe the same will happen with the knight. Perhaps once it is too late and the titans are all already free, but I don't think that the knight is fully aware of what happens in the roaring.

And as for Tenna? Well, Tenna almost always dies at the end of his chapter. The only way for him to survive is if you recruit every single character in TV world and maybe, just maybe, a similar fate awaits Kris.
