[definatelynotnotbatman]

i've never posted on here b4 but i haven't seen anyone talk about these bits from deltarune which is surprising given how much ppl love spamtenna :P

so pls take these SS and do what u will with them cuz idrk how important they are but i need to know that ppl have seen them (the SS is from a RELIABLE yt gameplay that i found so dm the red line at the bottom lol (you can check the game urself if ur rlly worried))

here this is literally spamtons speech quirk or wtv you call it when u check tenna in the final boss battle which is cuutteee and prolly somewhat important.......

also in tenna final boss battle in the bottom right you can see spamtons sprites in the corner when tennas acting all glitchy and weird, switching between minigames, which is also very cutee and 100% intentionally done for something.....

but yeah we all know about tenna refrencing to the [spammy little mailman] and, how both of them talk about Mike too so, this is just even more proof for the connection between the two and perhaps how the dark worlds are more connected than we think (and the fact they're not just created and destroyed along with the dark fountains and that there is some behind the scenes action)

and i dont think im alone when i say that i think mike is just some form of gaster interacting with the characters to allow the game to have some story and depth to it, perhaps keeping us players interested, or maybe mike is a vessel for him instead of it being his physical/ spiritual form :/ (like how we have kris as a vessel, mike could be his own person but just used for gaster and... his deltarune)

but yeah sorry for the rant its prolly very clear that i dont post much AT ALL on ANY of my socials and that im just an ...observer... but i think i found some more gerson stuff in my true pacifist route on UT that connects to deltarune so depending on how much attention this gets i may disrupt my pacifist ending and dig through the games to find those connections i thought i saw and yeah

Whatever or not some of Spamton’s mannerisms and catchphrases are an intentional attempt to mimic Tenna, or if it’s the other way around... I think you could at least say Tenna is closer to what Spamton is constantly trying to be.

I mean, it’s not like Tenna is actually happy and content with his life and isn’t at least kinda deranged… but he is at least capable of being genuinely charismatic and dazzling people with his fun personality, charm and bombastic charisma. Literally anything Spamton does just oozes Bad Vibes, but Tenna, as long as he’s not actively in Meltdown Mode is capable of being entertaining and fun enough to get our heroes to play along and enjoy themselves.

And even when Tenna is actively spiraling, he’s not even a quarter of the creepiness of just Spamton’s baseline.

And Spamton clearly wants power and prestige and status, to be a [[BIG SHOT]]. But even at the heights of his [[Bigness]] he was still under the authority of Cyber World’s supreme authority, Queen.

But in TV World, it’s Tenna who is that supreme authority. The one who’s calling the shots. The one whose face is plastered everywhere.

Spamton’s takeover of Cyber World was officially about getting his [[Hyperlink Blocked]] unto the NEO Body… but he sure seemed to revel in his newfound position of power as well.

Even Tenna’s method of controlling the people of TV World plays into this. While his passion is in entertainment and showmanship, he basically got everyone in TV World under some extremely unfair contracts to make sure they all take part in his show and generally do as he says.

So he’s more effective at scamming people than Spamton is, even though that's basically Spamton's one 'purpose' in life according to the general metaphysical rules of how Darkners work.

But also on the other hand, from Tenna’s perspective, Spamton is the very symbol of the technological progress that has overtaken and overshadowed the Television. Sure, Tenna has all the prestige you could possibly imagine in TV World, but that’s a world whose own prestige is diminishing more and more with each passing day.

For Tenna, Spamton represented the shiny modernity that he just couldn’t grasp. He has an inherent understanding of all this newfangled technology that scares and confuses Tenna.

Spamton might be weird and disquieting, but as the incarnation of Spam Mail, he has reached and affected the lives of far more Lightners than Tenna could even dream of in the last ten years. And that’s even after Spamton downfall, last time Tenna saw him, he was a genuinely successful Internet adbot!

…I think it’s likely that their occasionally shared phrases are a result of a mutual attempt to mimic what the other had.

Although I guess what at least put Tenna at a better position than poor ol’ Spamton is that improving Tenna’s situation is a lot easier. All Tenna needs to be happy is to find someone new to watch him. He’s still a perfectly usable television who can bring happiness and be happy as long as he can broadcast.

Spamton’s whole existence as Spam Mail is an existential horror where he is both obsessed with success and unable to achieve it permanently because… he’s Spam. The very metaphysics that define the universe deemed him destined to fail eventually.

But also, Tenna is probably totally unaware of this, if not like... literally incapable of grasping the idea. Again, he knew Spamton for the brief period he was actually successful. And he lacks the understanding needed of either modern internet culture or the metaphysical mechanics of Dark and Light that drove Spamton mad.

spamton might genuinely be the most divorced character ever
