Do u have bird spamton hcs?
(Srry if i already sent this, im making my rounds rn)
I can’t really talk about my Spamton bird headcannons without talking about the Addisons. ‘Cause in my eyes they’re all Rock Doves- namely because of carrier pigeons. After all, they were specifically bred to deliver messages and know their way back home. Especially considering the disdain now for pigeons, I think it applies well to Addisons as a whole. Curated by the lightners to promote their own products or the like yet hated by all anytime they’re seen. Just fits perfectly in my eyes ÚvÙ.
Though on the more unrealistic side- I mean it’s not like Darkners need to be perfectly scientifically accurate anyways lol- I think it’s much more fun to imagine Addisons can have aspects of more than just pigeons. While it’s their primary bird of relation,, I definitely can see Spamton in the Corvid family! Specifically I think a magpie fits him wonderfully. I mean they are so bold and have such strong personalities, how could Spamton not be such. I also like the myth of corvids attraction to shiny objects in relation to Spamton especially when in regard to magpies. Magpies in particular show certain fear towards new (shiny) things,, so Spamton outwardly seeking something bigger and greater than him while inherently fearing the fall that is so inevitable with his seeking. I mean. We live some internal conflict now don’t we?
I kinda imagine Spamton is covered in down or semiplume feathers more than contour feathers. I think this might be another feature to differentiate him from other Addisons (soft Addison Spamton lol). I mean we know he was shorter, but I think it’d be interesting if there was even more of a genetic difference between him and Addisons that cement himself as another when he separates himself from them. But this also obviously exposes him more to the elements, so I imagine the cold and weather would affect him far greater. This additionally exposes him more to viruses and the like which affects his ads and speech. It also could pose as another factor on why he struggled more to get sales as an addison! Visually he’s not as flashy (as we know) but he also looks rather strange in comparison to the far smoother feathers of other addisons. Truly its disdain for no real reason than visually “this guy looks weird.” More reasons for the phone.
Spamton absolutely is a puffy kinda guy. Whenever he’s confident, puff. whenever he’s embarrassed, puff. whenever he sees a hot TV, puff. I love the idea that when Spamton is near Tenna his neck feathers puff up or his tail feathers raise towards him and he gets super embarrassed even though Tenna has no idea what it could mean (some pigeon and magpie courtship behaviors lol).
I definitely think he’s a contender for over preening though. With so many different stressors all throughout his life,, bro’s coping mechanisms aren’t quite the best. The main place I see some contour feathers growing is his hair,, but because his desperation to be seen as other than an Addison, I imagine he plucks those the most (ouch).
On a more wholesome note,, I really like the imagery of the Addisons all preening each others hair to calm them each other down or the like. Ties in with me seeing Spam and the main speaking Addisons as family,, but I just love that type of bonding.
Addisons tails likely serve a more display purpose than anything seeing as they don’t exactly have wings. They both help with balance when addisons are literally throwing themselves into potential buyers and get flashily displayed to raise attention.
When Spamton gets turned into the puppet I imagine the feathers that cover his body are simply replaced with plastic and the like. He still has a tail but the feathers are all messed up because he can’t exactly preen himself anymore (I like to think his hands shake nonstop and the joints can easily get caught in his tail and otherwise feathers).
The first time Spamton saw himself on TV he freaked out,, he didn’t recognize it as himself at first and started getting a little paranoid. He eventually got used to it, but I think playing with the territorial-ness of Magpie’s is def fun with his character. Adding in to how territorial he gets,, when he’s a puppet he absolutely screams if people get too close to his shit. Not the best for business.
