HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY BEAUTIFUL GIGI!!!!!! A very spamtenna day to you. Speaking of when is the moment you became insane over them and/or fic excerpt persnaps…?
😭😭😭 babe thank youuuuuuuuuuuu 💞💞💞💞💞💞
oh my god. the moment they drove me insane. so like a few days after the new chapters came out and i had finally lifted the spoiler embargo on myself and was once again able to visit the wider internet i saw the spamtenna supercut on youtube.
and like when i had been playing through chapter 3 i was like. oh my god another doomed yaoi spamton ex has hit the platform. lmao they're both so cringe. and then. i watched the video. and that shit so quickly became not a joke to me. i think what really cemented it was either tenna's sword route dialogue right before you cut him down or when i saw that the fucking "damn you tenna" page from the spamton sweepstakes came from clicking the link on the fucking. engagement ring. tobias foxworthy that shit was absolutely diabolical.
also maybe. look under the cut if you want to see rough draft outline of spamtenna slop ive been working on.
sp: "If you think I'm slackin you can just say it ya know. You don't have to do this whole shakedown routine."
t: actually pissed "Are you dense? Are you purposefully misunderstanding me? I am worried. about. you. How many different ways can I say it?"
s: sighs "Look, I know things have been crazy with Sweeps Week and everything, but sometimes you just have busy periods, you know that. It's fine, you're being over dramatic."
t: "And what about you crying in your sleep , or am I just being over dramatic about that little fact too."
s: "Oh, so now you're holding what I do in my sleep against me? What's next are we gonna fight over ways I've wronged you in your dreams again?"
t: yelling "YOU ARE THE ONE TURNING THIS INTO A FIGHT, I'M JUST TRYING TO TALK TO YOU!"
s: too tired for this "Do you think I'm some kinda born-yesterday sucker who can't do my job? Do you think I would have gotten to where I am now if I couldn't handle this?"
t: "Spamton…"
s: "Look, you're worried I get it. But I'll be fine, a few more weeks of bustin my ass and things will even out again, capisce?"
t: "I just…"
s "Maybe I'll even be able to hire some more people who can take over some of the busy work." (lying)
t: "Honey."
s: (trying to make him jealous as a distraction) "Believe me, baby, co-hosting with you is much more fulfilling than trying to dodge some handsy old Cyber City bastard's quid pro quo bullshit when we're arguing over percentages." (this is actually true but spamton thinks he's bullshitting him. stupid ass.)
t: holding his face "Spamton…we're partners, yeah."
s: "Well, I would hope so, otherwise I'm getting robbed of my consulting fee, and my finder's fee, and my convenience fee, and my—"
t: smiles (images taken moments before disaster): "Then why don't you let me take some of that work off of your plate.
s: huffs laugh trying to change the subject "I think you need to get a handle on what an email is before we move onto some of the other shit I do. Besides you're busy enough as it is."
t: "I don't need any fancy lessons or to clear my schedule to be able to answer the phone for you, silly."
s: bad bad bad "Oh. That's what you mean."
t: genuinely confused how this plan failed "What are talking about?"
s: "If you think I'm not holding up my end of the [Buy Deal or No Deal for the Nintendo Wii now at Gamestop!] just fucking say it, Tenna. Don't pussyfoot around with the 'Oh, baby, don't worry. I'll take such good care of you' shtick."
t: "I can't believe that after all this time you still don't trust me. You'd rather keep your success all to yourself, than trust me and let me help you."
s: "Oh fuck you, Anthony. Do. Not. Fucking insult me by [Download The Pretenders (self-titled) album, 4.5 stars] like you're just trying to help me for MY sake."
t: "Hey, don't turn this around on me! Do you think I like spending time I don't have worrying about you on TOP of running everything else in this place. All I'm trying to do is keep you from wearing yourself down to nothing, you selfish little—"
s: "OH SO NOW I'M A [Please bring your signed LIABILITY waivers]. FUCK YOU, NO ONE ASKED YOU TO WASTE YOUR PRECIOUS TIME WORRYING ABOUT ME, YOU'RE THE ONE WHO'S TURNING THIS WHOLE THING INTO SOME KINDA [United States v. Milken, No. 89 Cr. 41 (KBW) (SDNY 1989)]."
t: in his gritting teeth with an award losing smile mode "Look, Spamton, don't take this the wrong way. But, I've been around a lot longer than you in this business. I just want to make sure your mysterious friend on the phone isn't taking advantage of your…inexperience. Just let me talk to them and make sure everyone is on the same page here."
s: "Oh you've gotta be kidding me. /my inexperience/. Jesus, what are you gonna say next, do you have a bridge in [plan your next trip to Brooklyn now] to sell me, too."
t: "You don't think it's odd that we've been working together for years and you won't tell me anything about who you work for. Absolutely anything at all."
s: "I know it hurts your ego, [watch Svengali and other cinema classics here!!!], but I don't actually HAVE to let you rub your greedy little mitts all over every single aspect of my life."
t: "…You know every so often…I have to reassure everyone at this studio that you aren't stringing us all along like a little carpetbagging scam artist. And sometimes you make it absolutely impossible to think that's not the case—"
s: "FUCK OFF. If you have to tell yourself that all of this isn't some [desperate desperate desperate] pathetic move to get more of the lightner's attention, then fine. You're a fucking [this page may contain adult content], tell yourself whatever lies you want to, you're allowed. But I'm not gonna sit here and do the naive [born sexy yesterday] babe in the woods routine while you [would I lie to you?] straight to my fucking face about it. Give me that fucking [every last speck of dust GONE] of respect at least."
t: panicking "Honey…"
s: "You know what, I have actual fucking work to do. I'm outta here. Don't worry, I won't get my greedy, unreliable hands all over your quaint little [Antique Roadshow marathon starting @ 5]."
19. you're mad/ashamed/horrified you actually kind of like...
i dont have no shame in my game. i will say im very surprised at the writing & how well s1 turned out but i will never be ashamed..
20. part of canon you found tedious or boring
ummm ima discuss the show mainly tbh ep4 is grating to rewatch in some parts cuz bailey’s accent + some of her dialogue / liners was so cringe like u can tell the most pale was a bit too involved in cooking up some of that lingo. strong as a streetcar? criiinge. idk they needed the black guys from ep3 to come back for ep4 or any other black person to be involved somewhere cuz louis’s mortal/fledgling + jonah’s parlay was very local n smooth but claudia’s mortal/fledgling lingo was just.. :( pay the writers nmw
21. part of canon you think is overhyped
the girls are spiraling over tv devil’s minion off them 10 seconds of l-dopa fueled hallucinations in ep6. thats not my ministry but may w/e thats out there bless them…
for fic asks, 2, 15 (selfish cuz im struggling with titles rn), 29. tried to pick ones that I don't know the answer to slfskld
god the fact that. you literally would know like 90% of the answers. wow. ok anyway
2. Do you read/reread your own fics?
YES but only if they're not super old. i used to reread anchor a lot and now i only do sometimes but the more time that goes by the more flaws i see in it. i really like how arthur got his groove back bc i can read that one over and over and over and almost never find anything that i wanna change
15. How do you come up with titles for your fics/chapters?
answered here but i bet i could literally think of 100 titles for your thing. i'll help you workshop it it will be so fun i lov titles
29. Share a bit from a fic you’ll never post OR from a scene that was cut from an already posted fic. (If you don’t have either, just share a random fic idea you have that you don’t plan on getting to.)
ok wait ty for asking i miss posting excerpts sooo fucking bad. i'm cheating a little so this is going under a cut
so, this scene is from an unpublished chapter of envesseled (nobody tell cally...) but it had to be cut because of pacing reasons and i was devastated about it. it's been heavily edited (read: a bit butchered) for spoilers/stuff that actually IS going to be in the chapter, but this little moment was so fun i just wanted it to be on the internet anyway.
