Spamton dies playing guess who with Tenna

Audio

[jexistance]

So what if the solution to all of Tenna's problems is to give him a child. No seriously guys. What if a child and the entirety of Bluey is what can improve him.

TENNA NEEDS AN ASCOT I NEVER REALIZED UNTIL RIGHT NOW I NEED THIS OLD MAN ASLCNDKD

The blur at the top is just the names, lol. I was in 3rd place, but I play with a card shark of a brother, so I was glad to not completely lose. See if you can guess what card game we were playing!

The doodles featured: Hop Pop and Hop Pockets, Ramb and Plugboys, Tenna should wear an ascot, random failed dragons, toothless, a not-manic-enough spamton, the weirdness of English spelling, kiwis are a flightless bird (ostriches aren't the only flightless birds in this planet bro *glares at my brother*), and the random eyeball character my brother (same one) invented.

The things we do at 10 pm...

So I wrote the slop at midnight... and the next chapter came out at 4 am...

Don't care! Go my Spamtenna! *yeets at mach 2*

Inspired by Spamton's nightmare from Chapter 11 of the amazing fic Beyond Repair! Written by @manofthepipis (sorry for blasting you with notifs on two separate platforms, here's your two cakes)

tenna's funny text sprites uploaded to tumblr so i can use the links. im surprised nobody else seems to have done this yet...

Would you mind sharing the details that "debunked" acid theory for us ignorant folks?

(Love the fic BTW, take as long as you need to keep cooking 🔥)

absolutely! :D it would be my pleasure *rubs my hands together giggling* now don't touch that dial because i've been saving these for a rainy day (ignoring how the sun is bright as all hell outside)

starting off easy with the japanese localization of spamton's shop dialogue, which toby fox worked on as well. It translates to something more akin to his eyes burning rather than anything else. The best translation I could find was on reddit where it's translated to:

"In the past, I was just in charge of sending emails. Now I'm in charge of [[Wait! It's too bright! My eyes hurt, stop!]]"

But I mean even in the english ver of the game there was always "MY EYES ARE [[Burning]]..." to support that even before us english-speakers even heard of the japanese localization differences.

Looks like he saw what was on the other side of the shadow crystal you nabbed from him at the end of his fight:

Also in-game it was evidenced that his puppet transformation had something to do with his [[Communion]] and not anything to do with acid. I think the theorists forgot that part.

Point 2: in the spamton sweepstakes' fangamer Q&A on twitter: spamton himself confirms he's always been on the shorter side of the addisons

knowing that the only basis behind acid theory was that darkners could shrink from the acid (which just so happened to just be a funny joke from Queen) and then confirming that Spamton was always a lil guy?? it shows that that's not what happened to him either. So let's keep going.

Point 3:

Backtracking to the swan boat ride gives this lil swatchling interaction. Cyber darkners seem to be unaffected by the acid in general, like Queen even drinks it and claims it's a free pool. There's evidence in sweepstakes that Spamton got thrown in, sure, but if it can't even burn a photo or pottery, i don't think it would burn an addison.

However, it looks like they threw him in there after too-many-an-attempt on the Neo robot, maybe to try and get him to not come back. Unfortunately for them, this puppet is determined and desperate. It looks like he got bullied pretty harshly, but nothing to warrant being permanently puppetified by any of the mansion staff.

Swatch took it upon themself to keep Spamton from the Neo robot, as they helped designed it, hoping something would come from it when nothing ever did. It's said to be incredibly powerful, so of course Swatch wants to keep him the heck away from it. All of the traps in the basement (the chests with traces of money in them (bait?), the keygen lock, etc) look to have been designed specifically to keep Spamton out.

It's not the reason behind his transformation, but we know that he went swimming at some point lol

The mansion staff (Queen, Swatch, Tasque Manager, etc.) aren't malicious, they just want to keep something sacred away from someone who wants to use it for selfish and nefarious purposes. Which it's warranted! Spamton is at the end of his rope at that point, but he has no business trespassing and stealing a too-tall abandoned art project.

Besides, seeing [Heaven] and having your fate decided by outside forces aligns more with the themes of deltarune already, and if acid theory had been proven canon back in Ch2 or heck even in Ch3, i still wouldn't care for it. I think it's a really lazy way to make Spamton's downfall more impactful, and is just unnecessary angst, compared to everything else his character has to offer. Trust me, i love a good angst sesh, but without merit or thematic background it falls flat to me. But that's just my bias! Thats not evidence at all lol.

Hopefully I helped!

EPISODE 6 TEASER THIS IS NO JOKE 🚨

[jexistance]

Posting chapter 2 of The Perks of Unemployment here for people as well! Just in case you don't want to pop on ao3 for whatever reason lol

Read chapter 1 on Tumblr here!

“Hey, J- AAAUGH!!”

She awoke to the sound of screaming.

Once her optics were online, J realized that it was N. He was near the entrance and wailing his head off. J winced and touched her neck. It was giving her a headache.

“Shut UP, N!!” J stood up shakily and tried not to stumble. “Why are you even he-” It was then that she noticed her surroundings.

The scrap piles were neatly organized and tools spread out. The ship had a newly attached leg. Her former head was still on the ground - of course N was screaming. And Emma was still there, working on the ship.

“RAAH!” J punted her head across the den and stormed over to N. “What are you doing here, idiot?!”

“J! You were lying dead in the corner and I thought - but - you have a new friend!”J smacked him on the head. “She is NOT! I - ...hired her! Contrary to what you might think, I can negotiate anyone into my workforce. Besides, she’s much more useful than you.”

N smiled sheepishly. “Sounds great, J! I'm glad you're making - er, I mean - I'm glad you've got a hire! That's the good old boss I knew!” He swung his arms to the side as a gesture of encouragement. J wanted to bite him.

“I wasn't a ‘good boss’ to you,” J found herself saying. “Your encouragement isn't believable.”

“Oh, uh…” This seemed to take N aback. He blinked rapidly. “I didn't think you'd ever acknowledge it, but, thank you.”

I swear to corporate, if I make myself an even bigger idiot, I'm going to stab someone with a branded pen.

Probably me.

“Where is that feral purple thing?” J asked. “Is it too afraid of me to come?” She smirked. Honestly, I can't understand why he would be so infatuated with her. She's half his size and twice as loud! She weighs as much as a bunch of grapes and he's yet to send her into orbit. Idiot.

N made a face like he was trying to puff himself up to be taller. “Uzi's not feral, she's my girlfriend!” He glared at her. “Low blow, J.”

“At least I don't think I have a chance with a low-income worker drone that's inferior!” J snapped. His comment had weakened her temper immensely. “You two are absolutely sickening to-”

“Hey!” Emma's voice rang around the den. “You can insult me all you want, but you do NOT insult my kind.” She held a wrench to J's head, eyes steely. “Stop it, J.”

“What- don't first name me!”

“You have a last name?” N asked, confused.

“Get. Out.” J grabbed her fellow murder drones hand and pushed him back. “Before I decide that today's a good day for target practice.”

N's face fell. Was that… pity?! She didn't need pity! She had served at the right hand of Robo-God themselves! N was nothing more than a half-bit disassembly drone whose empathy got him a role as a beloved puppet. One that the Solver enjoyed playing with until it got bored and threw him away. J had made sure she wouldn't be thrown away either.

Don't feel that stupid jealousy. I have no reason to be jealous of N. I would never want to be the Solver's favorite.

J's arm snapped up as she wordlessly pointed at the exit. N sighed and unfurled his wings. “See, this is why Uzi and V don't want to visit. Bye, J.”

He left.

Once his wingbeats had faded away, J turned around, arms folded. “Never address me like that again.” Her voice almost quivered and she crushed her old head to cover it, the spare metal scattering around her leg.

“Of course.” Emma pocketed her wrench and resumed fiddling with a hunk of metal she'd been working on earlier. “You're the boss.” She tugged on her bandana. “If you'll have me?”

J tried not to think of the days on the ship she'd stared into the blackness of space, with the being she loathed right next to her. The only words she had forced out her throat were cold and dull. “Yes, boss.”

“Didn't you hear me? You're hired.” J walked away without looking at Emma and took a wire from the scrap pile. “I expect you once a day.”

J forced herself to not see it, but Emma smiled. “Sure thing, boss. I'll be here on the dot tomorrow morning.”

She walked out of the den, leaving J alone.

The murder drone stood there, letting the silence stay.

Ralsei's expression in the last panel.... It HURRTSSS T-T

Gotta keep it in….

… don’t say… don’t tell…

[jexistance]

So I actually... LOVE THIS?! It's so creative!! It's a unique NEO form as in Tenna doesn't have one head like Mettaton and Spamton but THREE. With the necks being AV cables?! GENIUS! Not only does it play on a TV theme (cables and screens) but it reflects the facets of his extremely insecure and showman-like personality! Yes, Tenna fears being obsolete. Yes, he really wants to have "fun" even though his version of fun is focused on himself and controlling. Yes, he did have a crash out. And yes, being the wet napkin man he is, went down a depressive spiral multiple times. He switches feelings fast than a TV channel and having him be physically "tri-polar" (bear with me idk how else to explain it) certainly makes for an interesting foe.

Another thing to note is how his design is still tied to Tenna's main design and other NEOs. Gotta have the gun hand! Now he has a sick metal-looking suit (reference to the rhythm rock minigame?) with his classic TV pin (and a heart... hmm.... getting a bit of Spamton NEO vibes in there) and some glorious wings to match. It looks like he's wearing Joseph's Technicolor Dreamcoat, but I'm here for it. Having his shoulder-pads and legs be bigger reminds me of the themes of him wanting to be a "big shot" and "everything's bigger on TV".

And the cute outlet tail! I just can't! It makes him look so silly somehow without undermining the chaotic power of his NEO design.

If he were a boss fight I feel like he'd have a similar attack style to Grimm Matchstick from Cuphead. Just his three heads looping endlessly while spitting out projectiles from his different "channels."

Truly a peak design. You cooked with this, @smallpwbbles.

Tenna Neo au ayyyyy, saw designs of Tenna getting the Neo suit going around so I threw my hat in the ring
