#spamton headcanons

[koolaidcultistt]

some spamton thoughts. hello everyone who followed me for spamton i am so sorry LMAO here you go

[grey-auras]

Small-ish "theory"//headcanon based on practically nothing:

I believe that Spamton played the Mantle game at some point leading him to recognize our actions if they happen to play out in Chapter 2 and act on them (giving us the ring), and maybe that's how he GOT the thorn ring.

...

And while Spamton is apparently shit at games, given the existence of the Z-Rank room and the Addisons being terrible gamblers in comparison to Jevil and Seam (Spamton also calls Jevil a cheater, this is mostly because Jevil is "lucky" in comparison to Spamton who also says he cheats too but he never "wins at anything even once"), I think he can somehow glitch his way through Mantle.

Given that "cheating" is how we progress through it in the first place. We play in untraditional ways in order to progress, we "break" the system basically. The Weird Route is us taking the forbidden path and breaking the game in order to do so. I'm sure Spamton can break it effortlessly because he's a complete fuck-up.

I think it's also INTENDED that we do Weird Route since Mantle in of itself is a massive nudge of encouragement. Why does Spamton get the ring? Who knows. I heard a theory once that the "true heros" were basically meant to be Dess, Kris, and Asriel but things got messed up along the way. Who knows, maybe that could be a part of it. Implying that Dess should've been in Noelle's place but that's pure crack, I don't even know why I'm suggesting it anyway. Moving on. Obligatory "I blame Gaster for everything" Moving on!

I wouldn't expect ERAM to be there at this point of the game of course. I think that the game ended the moment he found something like "a lone rose with a thorn, take it?".

Side note: I don't think Friend is an entirely evil force, I think it just does what it needs to via someone else in order to "assist". I think that's where the Odd Controller came from in the first place.

The vending machine on the outside _smiles_ and says something like "Always at your service." I really don't know what to think about the character (since we have next to nothing) so I'm sort of a loose Friend! Mike-er.

And obviously Friend is everywhere in the ERAM fight.

-------

My "proof" I guess:

The Z-Rank room literally leads back there via a manhole. That also happens in Chapter 2's Weird Route. It's a very suspicious room for more reasons than just the phone. Hey Every! Is in "Dump". We all freaked the fuck out when we heard it, don't lie. And so is "The Holy" a motif in correspondence to us, especially when closing the fountain. Where do we fight Spamton in the Weird Route? What represents our control over Kris anymore than the Weird Route itself?

"The path started with ice magic"

Duh. But that would be very familiar if you heard that once and then saw it play out in front of you, wouldn't it?

My main point of "proof":

In the Spamton Sweepstakes when you click Spamton's engraved wedding ring and click the [IT HURTS! IT HURTS!] hyperlink it takes you to the damn_you_tenna page. When you click on Tenna you get a screen full of static with the words...

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE!?

YOU SHOULDN'T BE HERE!!"

...hidden in it. There are two important squares in the bottom here. One takes you to the entrance of the Ice Palace thingy that takes you to Noelle's blog page about this creepy place that she would get lost in for hours in Dragon Blazers, she then plugs the song "Glaceir" at the end of it. The other one takes you to the Green Room. Just like the S-Rank secret door does.

I think that the dialogue is from Spamton, but it would be interesting if it was from Tenna in response to finding Spamton playing the game/being in the room. Hence why Tenna comes back there in order to mourn. Tenna hides the game from us after all, I think he finds it potentially disturbing and for good reason. It matches both of their ways of speaking when they're hyped up. [If I locked the fuck in, I would make art about this.]

It being a wedding ring that leads us here is even more damning. As that's what the Thorn Ring symbolizes, a "marriage" of two people, one controlling and one controlled. We puppet Kris to puppet Noelle with it and we get it from a Puppet. This shit's an abusive cycle. It also introduced us to Tenna, lmao, but that's just the secondary intention of it on what Spamton thinks of Tenna and Mike.

Spamton knows too damn much and while the Sweepstakes ofc isn't fully canon it makes A LOT of hints towards the game. That is a very huge example of that. It also makes him a good character to use for things like this because as a secret boss and let's face it, one of Toby's favorite children he can give or lead us to a lot of information but without spoiling too many things because he simply doesn't know or can't say everything.

This wasn't very well thought out but that's because it's a brain worm that only makes sense to me and not so much a theory...

My spamton headcanons except I refuse to explain what's different you figure it out

[marshallena]

Tenna is a big electric box attached to a wall while Spamton is an email able to fly between worlds and devices... After his downfall he went to Cyber City to stay in the trash where he thought he belonged, Tenna couldn't chase after him even if he wanted, and he couldn't avoid being thrown in the trash, nor can accept that he belongs there.

Tenna is outdated, he doesn't understand Spamton in the slightest while Spamton knows Tenna so well even when he was furious and out of his mind he told us exactly what that man does to his employees and the people he loves.

¡¡¡They're just the opposite of each other!!!

Random headcanon but I think Addisons giving gifts to each other or to others is an extra so so special thing for them. The closest these little guys go to gifts, usually, is splitting the bill with someone on things. If they give you something WITH ABSOLUTELY NO CHARGE, you have won the LOTTERY. Many a time, even GIVING the gift is a pain between Addis because the recipient will usually try to insist on paying them back for it somehow. ✨️Capitalism✨️

In any case, the love languages of my Addis and Spamton <3 (these apply to both platonic / familial relationships in their lives and romantic ones ^-^)

♤~♤

Sample: Acts of Service.

Sample is completely the kind of Addison that would clean someone's apartment and do a lot of little things for people he cares about to make their lives easier :3. Breakfast in bed, letting people vent their problems to him unconditionally, taking their shift on a job, everything for people he cares about (and occasionally even people he doesn't particularly care for because he's just nice </3)

♤~♤

Broadcast: Physical Touch.

I have ✨️angst✨️ lore with this guy, and touch is something that's pretty important to him. It grounds him in reality and helps him realise, either physically or mentally, 'hey, I'm still here, I'm still around.' He has. So many. Fidget toys in his apartment. But when he's around people, he's BIG on doing things with touch (being respectful of boundaries of course ^-^). Hand holding, hugs, peeping over someone's shoulder and resting his chin there to see what they're doing, etc. It all helps to ground himself and let both himself and those around him know that he's mentally in the present and alert and listening!

♤~♤

Target: Words of Affirmation.

Target's not usually the type to do stuff for people nor want things done for him, and DEFINITELY not one to touch or BE touched, but they're definitely someone who gives out and needs himself comforting words or advice ^-^ Although usually what they give and need tends to land on the border of Harsh Truth TM as well. He will NOT sugarcoat things when talking to people, but if they genuinely need comfort, they're great at giving that, being a welcomed ear to listen and an offerer of advice or just a simple 'you're doing great, and please never forget that.' Despite his more strict exterior, they do tend to be a little bit more on the unsure side of himself and their profession, especially after [REDACTED LORE], so every now and then comfort is something he needs as well. :]

♤~♤

Banner: Quality Time.

Epitome of 'why so friends? -the visiter.' Always loves spending quality time with people they care about and has ALWAYS made time for people :3 It doesn't matter whether it's quality time out on the town, time spent rambling to each other, or even just sitting with someone for a while silently, they're ALL about being around people and wanting to show they care by spending as much time as they can with others. Usually, they're one of the first people there to be a shoulder to cry on or to come to a meeting or to arrive at a party and the last to leave ^-^

♤~♤

Spamton: Also quality time!! That or giving gifts :3

After so long of being alone, whether metaphorically in his Big Shot era or physically in his downfall, it would take him a while to be able to warm up to being around people again long-term (especially the Addisons, yeesh...), but when he does... the first way he shows that he WANTS to be with people again is by spending time with them - or at the very least, not pushing them away and letting THEM be around HIM. In all honesty, contact with other people is probably something he misses but would never admit because of his pride.

As for gift-giving, he'd probably still have the same reservations about it that he did as an Addison, but it's a little more loose for him now. If you're patient enough you can buy stuff from Spamton's shop for almost nothing. If you press F1 in battle with him, he'll give you a little healing Spam, even in the Weird Route. In the past, he gave Noelle a little Pipis gift since she was the one reading his emails. I think gifts for him after his downfall are more like loose 'you do something for me, I do something for you,' and only - ONLY!!! - for people he cares a LOT about. Beyond the salesman is a guy who does gift people things, but many a time, it's disguised as a transaction rather than an actual 'gift.' At least that's how I interpret him in-game, correct me if I'm wrong, so that's how I've chosen to interpret him for headcanons as well :>

♤~♤

Anywhooooo, there's my Addi + Spamton love languages - applying to platonic, familial, and romantic relationships alike ^-^✨️

My Spamolution.

Quick doodles I did. From left to right:

Addispam - Early-mid twenties, cocky but anxious, still finding his footing, a little bit dorky, loud around his friends, constantly seeking validation, white hair is fluffier and unkempt. Big Shot/1997 - With the help of the voice he can realize his cocky, sleazy, confident personality that was overshadowed by his more successful, fellow Addisons. Puppefication begins. Slick hair that he dyed black to blend with the rest of the mansion's staff - and to erase some of his former self which he didn't like very much. Rich, dresses well, tries to take care of himself, the mental illnesses are creeping in. Corrupted - Mid-forties. Has succumbed to his trauma and tragedies. Puppefication on full-force. Vocal tic and spam filters plague him. Still sort of tries to take care of himself, 'skin' has wear and tear, babbler, shudders a lot, mannerisms become creepy, isolation has got to him, sleaze on full-blast. NEO/EX - Mix of gaudy, new colours while still trying to cling onto greatness of his past with attire, is more confident, calculating, slightly more sane, still struggles with his past, has a 'suave' persona that falters. (More detailed headcanons for NEO/EX on my previous, full-body drawing of him).

Hi!! Can I pester you for your headcanons on Spamton?

Sure!! I have plenty of random headcanons i've developed over time, so bear with me here-

Okay so its been a minute since i really considered these, so let me think. One thing i'll note is that i have this habit where i try to keep any takes i have on a character as canon as possible, so i've weeded out alot of the more outlandlish stuff over time. Starting under cut.

Starting off, I like to think that his cat element kinda aids in his life on the streets, in that he can manuver around the alleyways and whatnot of cyber city in more cat-like ways. Climbing walls, perching up on high vantage points, ect. Maybe the element is from a virus even? Anyway, off track.

Okay overall, less wordy headcanons.

-Spamton, through whatever process happened post Mike, is sorta a halfway point between robot and the strange digital entity that Addisons are. He's plastic and metal, but isn't entirely so. Can still move his face and whatnot.

-Addisons don't need sleep, but Spamton kinda does because of many different factors, the glitches being one of them. Its moreso just a luxury he held onto from the mansion days.

-I don't see it touched on much, but i like to think that he didn't go straight from the mansion to the trash, he had an in-between of living in some sketchy cyber-motels and trying to scrounge up easy work.

-I, for one, do in fact believe in the acid theory. Its simply brought up too much to be a red herring to me.

-Random nothing headcanon, i like to think of his current suit as just his big shot suit thats gotten dirty/stained over time, not a different one.

-Pipis are a virus in themselves, a worm virus specifically. It essentially makes whoever's infected with it completely endeared to the "eggs", thusly they keep the virus and spread it. I haven't developed it too much past that however.

-I liked a post earlier about this one, i think he'd enjoys art as well! He may not do it much, but i imagine he painted the wall behind the shopfront, so i imagine he probably does similar art stuff to try and emulate whatever divine visions he's seen.

Theres more, i know it, but i can't for the life of me think of em right now. I'll reply to this post later if i remember any good ones!

I appreciate the ask!

[darkangel1117]

whats your favorite thing about spamton?

im super bored so qna ask me anything preferably about spamton but u can ask other things too pretty pls im dying of boredom ive seen ever

my absolute favorite thing about spamton is his lore by FAR

ive always been the type-⏃ guy to be super interested in dark and creepy topics so when ⟟ realized spamton had deep dark creepy lore ⟟ just lost it

and then of course ⟟ had to go and do ⏃ deep lore dive so ⟟ replayed deltarune 3 times for ⏃ bunch of spamton lore (youtube videos help ⏃ 'ton' AHAH)

but uh yea ⟟ like how his lore revolves around this idea of fate, that hes stuck being an unlucky salesman his entire life, handed the bad luck card from square one, then when he finally gets some success its ripped from him and he gets strung up like ⏃ literal puppet. so creepy but so interesting at the same time 😊

oh and he was told the truth of his existence and the world he lives in and went insane, but ⟟ dont think hes really INSANE, just to other people because hes actually right, they arent

then hes thrown into ⏃ dumpster like literal trash, and (again) when be finally gets some help (from kris) its again ripped from him in the saddest way (strings snapped)

poor guy couldnt catch ⏃ break and finally gave up :(

oh and the whole idea of post spamton lore is great ⟟ already have ⏃ great mutual that supplies me with that (iykyk) they know who they are 👁️👁️
