Just a bit of random writing, ignore me

The multiverse is a place where constants are an impossibility. For every possible outcome to every situation that has ever existed, there is an entire world dedicated to that alone. Researchers of the cosmic sea such as myself have moved away from the existence of constants as a whole for this very reason. Very rarely does something exist in more than a few percentage points overall of the entire multiverse. I say very rarely and not impossible because there is one outlier. A place that overshadows any other category when it comes to consistency of appearances, with a total manifestation rate of exactly 66%. The VOID.

The void seems to be the dark matter equivalent of the local group of AU’s. It is the space between space, the empty nothingness from which entire realms can be molded. It is more vast than any other singular location that has been discovered so far, and its center is calculated to be somewhere close, if not overlapping with, the origin universe. It is so incomparably massive, that it is the one place we will never be able to fully discover the limits of. An entire comprehensive map of the void would be impossible to create just by the sheer nature of the twisted realm as a whole, though smaller sections can be put to paper without too many difficulties. That is, of course, assuming the void connected to a given world is not prone to constant fluctuations, as is the case with many void spaces. It is best to approach understanding of the void by comparing it to the deep ocean, as these frequent shifts are the metaphorical currents that flow through the entire space as a whole.

But what is it like? What does it feel like to look into the void as an untrained individual? That depends heavily on what you’re actually looking into. Very rarely do individuals actually look into the true void itself, but rather look upon fallen bits of creation, or smaller sub-worlds growing underneath reality. These visuals can be damaging enough as it is, but even a glance into the completely pure abyss will cause the viewer’s eyes to turn inside out in their skull before they [VOID CORRUPTED DATA REDACTED]. It is important to note that despite how hostile the void generally is to life due to its lack of most basic resources, it still has breathable air for a sizable chunk of it. Why this is the case remains unclear, but it is theorized that frequent leaks of the void into reality has caused it to adopt some features of reality (the aforementioned air and atmospheric pressure, specifically).

As of the time of this writing, a few specific sub-realms inside the void have been identified and studied to different degrees, two of which will be listed here as they are the most understood.

The first of these realms has been dubbed The Garden of Flesh. It is a warped space where the usual black background of the void gives way to stacked mountains of fleshy, red growths that seem to stick into walls that don’t exist. Each pod pulses in a way akin to an organ, and the frequencies of hostile radio waves have also been detected in a few specific pods. Not much else in particular is known.

The second is a place much more safe and housing many more survivors. It’s a place known as the Multiversal Market, and it’s found under a relatively small Hub World known as Ish. The Multiversal Market is where not only the living aspects of time and space live, but also many unfortunate individuals that had fallen from Ish into the void. How the market has access to food and water is unknown, but faint weather signs have been detected from the area, suggesting that a water cycle may in fact be present.

These smaller realms will be a topic of interest for my colleagues and I for a sizable amount of time. When casting yourself into the void, one can always go deeper. Perhaps if there is a bottom to this never ending sea of darkness we may be able to understand the creation of the multiverse, or at the very least discover what caused the void to sprout as a whole. I have been granted funding for these expeditions by an admittedly suspicious source as of recently, and despite the fact that I do not fully understand who this “Founder” is, if they are willing to financially back a scientific effort such as this, then perhaps my caution is misplaced. My friends over in research and development have mentioned that within the next few weeks, we may be able to create a more stable, permanent gateway into the void. Once that is established, I will send strike teams to brave the depths.

I do not know what they will find down there. Perhaps it is the will of the gods that I never know. I never was a religious person anyway.

The encyclopedia of Spamton Speech. Very nice

How do you decide when to use Spamtons little speech quirk and what to have him say? Your writing for him feels so natural!

Spamton’s speech pattern is surprisingly tricky! It has a lot of weird little things to it, haha. I’m glad you think I’m doing a good job though. :D Generally I try to keep in mind a few things for him...

Spamton misspells things a lot, but not always in the same way (with exceptions). He also likes substituting numbers for letters, usually in words that get caught in a spam filter to try to get around it but not always. ( [[Amazed at thi5 amazing transformation?]],  NOW THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING AB04T! ,  SOMEONE LEFT [There] SOULS, [Lyeing Around......] ,  YOU FILLED YOUR [Inventorium] WITH [Half-Pr1ce Sallamy],  AND THE [Number on theB4ck]!,  [Unforgettable D3als] ,  [Pr3mIUm luxjerry w4tch] )

When Spamton takes over the narration or influences it, he still misspells things. (CONGRULATIONS YOU ARE THE 100th VISITOR!!! )

Spamton is bad at tenses and mixes them up a lot. This is one of the most endearing things to me for some reason, haha.  ( I'M SO [Proud] OF YOU, I COULD [Killed] YOU! ,  I HAVE [Becomed] NEO. ,  MY ESTEEM CUSTOMER, THAT GUY [Steal my look]!! OKAY, MAYBE HE [Steal]ed BACK WHAT I TOOK FROM HIM, WE WILL ALSO [Divorced] )

He messes up pluralization or grammar related to it at times. ( HOTSINGLE, 100 CUSTOMER, AN [Valuable Item])

He actually swears a fair amount but it’s usually censored. ( YOU'RE [$!$!] RIGHT! , DEALS SO GOOD I'LL [$!$$] MYSELF!,  [$!?!] THE PRESSES! )

His capitalization in his bracket words/phrases is inconsistent and he spells things wrong in them at times as well. He usually capitalizes the first word though. ( [[A LimiTed Time Only!]] , [[Designed BY The Classics]],  [[ Sucbscrube ]] ,  THEN [[WHY]] GO TO A DUMPSTER!!! , YOU'VE GOT THE [[LIGHT.]] , [ succumb to the worm ],  SO HAVE I GOT A DEAL THAT'S [sweet Sunday creme] TO ANY SELF RESPECTING [Ball Nut]! , [fluffey] ,  [Pracitce]).

His capitalization in general is kind of all over the place. ( LIGHT nER! HEY-HE Y HEY!!!,  THat'll be 1997 KROMER.,  ENL4RGE Yourself,  I USED TO be A BIG SHOT. ,  I WOn'T FORCE YOU. ,  It's still DARK... SO DARK! )

He gets the verb in sentences wrong at times or has too many/too few words in a phrase.  ( HEAR THOSE [Balloons]???,  [Cool down with a]!!!,  [Wake up and the smell the] MY DEAD CARCASS!!! ) His grammar also gets wonky, especially with the tricky homophones like your/you’re or their/there/they’re. ( YOUR A BIGSHOT!! ,  WELL LET THIS BE A [Email] ,  SHOW OFF YOU'RE [Big Shot] )

He sometimes doesn’t finish a sentence at all, or leaves a blank space. ( BUY [KeyGen] FROM ME AT [The Low Low Price Of] ,  MEANWHILE I CAN [sneak out the back] AND, [Hurry now]!!! [Blink] AND YOU'LL MISS      !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ,  THAT'S WHY THEY'RE COMING TO [kill] ME RIGHT NOW. THEY'RE COMING TO ). Sometimes he just says one or two words or sentence fragments. (MONEY NO, KEYGEN) He likes repeating unfinished sentences as well, usually when he’s worked up about something. ( THE MEN INSIDE WOULD THE MEN INSIDE WOULD , I'LL GET SO. I'LL GET SO. )

He uses periods to emphasize certain parts of a sentence and sometimes he just leaves brackets or carets or other punctuation in his speech. ( YOU'RE  LIGHT neR< AREN'T YOU? , GO BACK. AND PUT. THE DISK. BACK. WHERE YOU GOT IT. ).

Sometimes he has spaces in the middle of words or in the wrong places ( DID YOU HAVE AN YMORE?,  I'M A SALESMAN   ,  ). Sometimes it’s just a mess in general ( DOESN;T IT?KID? ), and sometimes he likes to combine words ( [HonestMan] ,  [handsomeGuy] ).

My general approach to this is just to keep any typos I make while doing his dialogue lol.

He drops out of caps usually when he’s scared or thoughtful (not accounting for after his battle), and usually when he’s thinking about Mike.

A fair amount of his substitutions are vaguely threatening or allude to some kind of violence or suffering. He mentions death, dying, and screaming a lot, usually in unexpected contexts ( PRICES SO LOW, EVERYONE I KNOW IS [[Dead]]!!!,  VACATIONING IN [Burning acid] , NOW I'M THE [[It Burns! Ow! Stop! Help Me! It Burns!]] GUY! ).

Sometimes these threats are relevant warnings if you know what he’s up to ( TAKE THIS DEAL AND YOU WILL [[Die]]!! IT'S THAT GOOD!!!,  [Die Now] AND I'LL THROW IN [50] [Bullets] FOR FREE!,  THIS IS [One Purchase] YOU WILL [Regret] FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE! ). There’s always a sort of “off” vibe to him that makes him feel a little dangerous.

As an aside, Spamton talks about people beating him up a lot.

He likes turning phrases about refunds into non-refunds, haha ( [No Money Back Guaranttee] ). He’ll sometimes just admit outright he’s trying to scam you ( HOW'S AN INNOCENT GUY LIKE ME SUPPOSED TO [Rip People Off] , [What's yours is mine] AND [What's yours is mine]. ).

He’s extremely excited and shouting almost all the time, so he very rarely has only one exclamation point about anything. Usually it’s three but it can go higher. Just go ham on the exclamation points lol.

[[Hyperlink blocked.]]  is a tricky one. He does use it a lot, but the context for it is hard to pin down. Usually it relates to things like souls, what it is that’s controlling him or what it wants, or how exactly he wants to escape it. Other times it’s sort of privileged or secret information that would be caught by a filter and blocked, or it’s some scammy thing or another that’d be blocked for user safety. Usually it’s something that someone wouldn’t want the player to know.

He does use sales pitch, adspeak, or internet slang substitutions a lot, ( [Friend Request Accepted] , [[Anything You See On TV!]],  [[Workout-Ready Body]],  [Luxurious Basement Apartment] , [[Pass My Savings Onto You!]] )  but not all the time! A lot of his substitutions are single words, usually on an odd tangent to the original word or just unusual in general ( [Deep Abyss] , YOUR [[Ant-sized]] [[Rapidly-shrinking]] LIFE!! , [Wacky Stacks] , [Little Nipper], LIKE MANY [buzzing] AND [burning] CREATORS,  GET OUT YOUR CYBER [skin wallets] ).

Sometimes they’re just a normal word in the sentence ( YOU GOT [Guts] KID!! , [Part] OF MY BEAUTIFUL [Heart], LOOK IN MY [Eyes] LOOK IN MY [Nose] LOOK IN MY [Mouth] ).

I tend to think about his substitutions a bit like the Orz, where a substituted word has alternate or deeper meaning than you’d think BECAUSE it was substituted. By [LIGHT], did Spamton literally mean light, or does light have another connotation to it he’s adding that’s not clear? I like thinking of the substitutions adding a potential multiple meaning layers to a word, haha. Maybe he can’t help it, or maybe that particular word is hinting at something more...

He can say full sentences without any substitutions in them, but they’re rare ( WHAT ARE THESE STRINGS!? ,  YOU'RE LEAVING!? WHAT ABOUT MY DISK!?!? , TOO MANY EXCESS VACATION DAYS?? TAKE A GOD DAMN VACATION STRAIGHT TO HELL, I GAVE YOU EVERYTHING I HAD! MY LIFE ADVICE! , BUT KRIS, IF YOU REFUSE. THAT'S YOUR CHOICE. I CAN'T FORCE YOU.). Interestingly, they often involve him saying he can’t force Kris to do something, something he says over and over and over. He seems very preoccupied with it.

You heard the bunfoxoat. Go vote

While it's but a sketch... Behold! My idea for the main crew of Addisons for TP&tRB. I still need name suggestions for them, I'll likely put up a poll this weekend. Also here's the HCs again. Only change I'd make is Orange and Yellow are actually besties.

[amalgamate09]

Maverick: So … who are you?

Azerian: I’m a version of Asriel from another universe that’s apocalyptic and everything sucks and I’m kinda edgy because of it.

Maverick: Dude, same.

[crossoveranon] Weird thought but if. Maverick (AFAC) and Azerian where to meet, how do you think the conversation would go?

That is an interesting question. However to be honest, I'm not sure.

Without the input of @askfriskandcompany I can't say for sure.

-Petra

[amalgamate09]

Honestly better than Sans doing the ol’ string on the doorknob trick.

Where did frisk lose their tooth?

Some point before the comic. They're 11, it's gonna happen.

I'm betting they fell on the playground pavement too hard one day and a loose baby tooth just fell out.

-Petra

[amalgamate09]

Exxy spending an hour to explain what “poggers” means

How long did it take for Chara's manerisims and speech to catch up to modern times?

A bit. Though over the decades, they picked up a few newer words, by the time Frisk came around, their slang was still quite behind. There are still times when they'll slip back into 1920s speak. Like seen Skool Daze #8. She also picked up some southern slang from living with the Dreemurrs.

She still doesn't understand the modern slang however. Or memes.

-Petra

[amalgamate09]

I gotchu. Hold up.

You think Chara would take the cream off the oreo to just eat the cookie?

A definite possiblity. I now feel the need to make an alignment chart of how the characters eat their Oreos.

-Petra

[amalgamate09]

I don’t regret saying that

So what will Monster kids nickname be when they're no longer a kid?

MONSTER MAN - Mal

Likely still MK. Maybe the K stands for something else. IDK.

-Petra

[amalgamate09]

Dear god. Now I’m just imagining someone giving an inspirational speech, when a portal appears above the person giving the speech and a head crab just falls through, screeching and flailing.

Could a universe from a video game spill into Ish? Or are the portals limited to only Undertale and Deltarune AU’s?

I will say that the portals are not limited to only Undertale and Deltarune AUs. There have been portals that have opened from other Mutliverses.

So yes, that would be possible. Even from universes outside video games, like TV shows or books could come into Ish.

-Petra

[amalgamate09]

Yeah, so I can assume that won’t be happening any time soon.

Is it possible to break the LV cap and go past level 20?

I'd assume though. I mean, that level cap was just because that was how many Monsters were in the Underground.

However having a level that high would mean one has killed more people that the entire Underground so...

Confused noises

My Oh I, My Darling Eye

"They say eyes are windows to the soul, Holding such power to behold. To believe that such a precious thing be contained to just a socket, to a hole. From blue to green to amber gold, Be they natural or colorfully bold. If humans were to have more than two, They're may nigh be controlled.

They say blue eyes are beautiful, Like the waves that crash to shore Like ocean seas, like icy dreams, Who could ever ask for more.

Green eyes are like forest ferns, Like natures love, or summer trees Like deadly acid, like poisoned food Or the sweet scent of spring breeze

Brown eyes can be lots of things From auburn bark to rotting mud even looking like amber stones Or the deep shade of drying blood

Eyes can be so beautiful Windows to the heart It seems when er two pairs meet They neri wish to part

Glistening, glimmering, little orbs Holding such power, so divine Little keys to the doors Which hold all our secrets, I need them to be mine.

Like little stars that twinkle Way up in the night sky Staring back, unblinking Their beauty makes you cry.

They say eyes are gateways. Gateways to the soul I wonder if that's why fate Cursed me with only holes." -Echo

Sometimes it’s “‘What you’re asking is heavily leaning towards spoilers territory, and as such I will not respond.”

Just wanted to clear this thing up

Friendly reminder that if I haven’t answered your ask the same day, it means either: 

I want to treasure that ask forever

I dont feel up to social interaction

I didnt have time, and ended up forgetting about it

What it does NOT mean:

I dont like getting asks

You’re bothering me by sending asks
