questions about the spamtenna pipis

all pipis:

are laid by spamton

self-replicate over time

the spamtenna pipis:

tenna kept it in a cupboard and made mike sing lullabiys to it.

tenna is implied to have ground up its replicates for food.

if kris reveals it to the world, tenna is embarrassed and defensive about it.

if spamton shows up, tenna takes it with him to "protect" it from spamton.

if spamton doesn't show up, tenna *doesn't* take it and never brings it up again. kris can pick it up. if they take it to spamton's former room, it calls out for him. they can also eat it.

so it's physically impossible for spamton to get custody of the pipis, even though it remembers and misses him. that's depressing, but i have questions:

spamton only shows up if you gave him the NEO body, fought him, defeated him, and added him to your inventory. if you didn't do all that... what happened to him? did he die? did he enter some kinda stasis? has anyone tried to carry the Loaded Disk onto chapter 3?

does tenna care about pipis? did he ever care? or were the cupboard and lullabiys just means to an end, and his protectiveness, just a show to spite spamton?

if asriel is cis then why is “his” ideal adult god form missing “his” father's androgenic mane and wearing “his” mother's clothes? THINK

i know their names aren't actually battat, pluey, and jongler. however. you can't write ready-made blorbos full of personality and then expect readers to call them by the same generic name (cowboy hat mike? THREE whole words?). that's a fool's errand. also with how much character development they got in just 3 scenes, it's not unthinkable that they'll have picked new names by chapter 5. either way, i hope the topic gets at least referenced. because 1) these characters are already themed around audience reactions, and 2) it'd be very funny

NGL i'm a little sad that tenna doesn't seem to say bye to anyone in castle town before he moves to the ghost house. not the pippins and shadowguys who saved his life? not the weather duo? not even good old mike? i thought he loved attention. but i guess attention from one lightner is worth a hundred darkners. he probably launched himself at susie at mach speed and scared the shit out of her before turning into 50 kg of lead glass and steel at the last moment.

i think carol has a machine in her kitchen that she uses exactly 6 times a year to grind shed antlers into bone meal. like a giant mechanical pencil sharpener. it's called something like The Antler Helper and all the ads show deer housewives handling inexplicably pristine bleached antlers. when you actually use it, it starts with sickening bone crunching sounds and then turns into the world's loudest food processor as everything is ground into a fine powder. and that's the secret ingredient to her garden.

it's so funny that ralsei calls kris and susie “delta warriors” right at the start and then it's immediately forgotten and never brought up again. it becomes a plot point to name their group and not even ralsei brings it up as an option. nobody remembers delta warriors? i remember delta warriors… do you think kris would've written delta warriors in their ballot. that sounds like the kinda thing they'd find cool

ID: Screenshot from Deltarune of Susie and Kris in Kris's bedroom looking at a bloodstain on the carpet. Susie side-eyes Kris, saying: "Just use vinegar, dumbass. Vinegar and hot water. Cleans it up." End ID.

who the HELL taught susie to clean blood with hot water, the thing that famously sets bloodstains? i guess since kris is transfem & susie is a reptile neither one has had to handle blood on a monthly basis. and it comes right off? bullshit. immersion broken. i demand realistic blood chemistry in my games. toby fox RETIRE

those old money vs new money memes but it's spamton's rags to riches story vs. tenna being "born" into success and adoration
