first part of my collaboration with AMAZING @eyegens !!!!! his spamton, my tenna and shading <3

[octobobble]

I love how actually fucked up spamton and tennas relationship probably was when you think about it, putting a man who’s desperate for validation at all time, terrified of being abandoned, and willing to go to extremes to stay relevant with a man whos letting his newfound fame get to his head and (given what we know about current spamton) will take advantage of someone to get what he wants will never end well, i rly wanna read fics about them during this era but i am scared of trying to search out fics of them in thsi setting.

Mischaracterization shouldn’t be that deep when i can just close the fic but im way too autistic over this game and especially these two characters i might cry if its bad enough 😭

In my opinion it's a lot more healthy to be able to own that you dislike someone for petty reasons than to do all kinds of mental gymnastics to make everyone you don't really vibe with out to be a bad person actually

Why Tenna's Also Shitty And How Both Got Played

I'm dead ass legit serious when I wonder if people are playing the game or not or even watching lps because how can ya'll miss key things Tenna says and does that also puts his character into question as much as Spamton's???

Introducing another autistic rant about Tenna and Spamton and how I think neither of them wanted to hurt one another but did because they were duped by someone else.

But first - we gotta' talk Tenna (again) (well - we don't have to; I just have autism).

First - how is a collaboration inherently leeching off someone? As someone who's worked in (power level), there are multiple contracts signed for various types of work, even when working with or under the same people and studios. This is true for most forms of production. You also sign new contracts for new types of work or labor not defined or requested within your original contract. At least I've requested new contracts and revised for my security.

With this in mind, this is hc, if they were working together before Spamton became big, that was likely one contract.

Now, Spamton could be lying because he's canonically lied and horrifically so. That said, we only have limited canonical information about the details of their relationship. And I think many folks are purposefully ignoring Tenna and Spamton's canon and filling in gaps via favoritism for Tenna. It's a bias we all have, so I'll try to not do that here.

So this is how I think things went based on canon... Things that are hc will be noted. 👈

Did Tenna give Spamton deals before Spamton signed his deal?

MAYBE...

The yellow addison never says, "Spamton was GETTING big TV deals, big commercials." He says, "Spamton started bragging ABOUT big TV deals, big commercials." I may be giving too much of the benefit of the doubt because I try to say what I mean (autism), but to me it's not clear which one it is. Spamton was either getting these deals or simply bragging about them being offered to him, two different things. But I do believe he was working with Tenna by this point because of what the yellow addison says next.

The yellow addison claims Spamton and Tenna started working together after Spamton moved into the Queen's mansion at his peak. This implies Tenna had no knowledge of Spamton. Or if he knew Spamton, he had no interest in working with him UNTIL he became famous.

If we're being consistent, Tenna was "leeching" off of Spamton as much as Spamton was off of Tenna. Remember - Spamton became a big shot in the late 90s. That's when CRT TVs were becoming obsolete. Tenna likely needed Spamton more than Spamton needed him, as noted by Tenna's desperate rambling of how Spamton was going to teach him. Also, Spamton was doing very well with his benefactor prior to meeting Tenna.

I've written about this before indepth, so I won't go too much into it. But Spamton has valid reason to be skeptical of Tenna. Tenna's canonically shady with his contracts. And despite Spamton's hesitation, HE WANTED TO SIGN until he was immediately called and was informed of something that made him run.

We don't know why Spamton ran nor what he was told, but it doesn't seem it was because he didn't want to work with Tenna since he was going to sign.

The other point of note, Tenna never put Spamton on TV.

It's implied Tenna was only going to do this after Spamton signed his contract concerning providing tips about being a big shot.

I'm curious as to what they were collaborating on before. I hc that Spamton sold Tenna's wares at Tenna's gift shop, or they did mutual promotions and advertisements that weren't on TV. Maybe Spamton did email advertisements for Tenna for his programs alongside his role as a car salesman. Who knows!

Point is - they were on posters together. They collaborated. Tenna WAS cheated, no denying that. But it's not shown to be purposeful, even by Tenna's admission, and it's not as though Tenna didn't get anything from working with Spamton. He just didn't get Spamton's benefactor.

Worse still, I think it was because Spamton wanted to help his friend that he got fucked. He broke a prior deal. And I think Tenna, wanting to be a good friend, revised his contract to be fairer as a show of trust.

Think about it.

They worked together and seemed genuinely happy based on the poster.

It's implied Tenna had a deal with someone on the phone. Same with Spamton. If Spamton had a deal, there would be stipulations. If it's true Spamton was corrupted after his fall, he was likely a (somewhat) decent person (for an addison) who wanted to uphold his promises and be honest which could explain why he was originally bad at being a spambot (more hc shit in another post I'll make omg).

What if Spamton’s benefactor had some knowing beforehand threatened to cut him off or do something to him or Tenna? What if he was informed of something very grave?

I think that’s when Spamton's benefactor cut him off, and in a panic, Spamton left trying to prevent it, forgetting all about Tenna.

Interestingly in canon, Tenna didn't care that Spamton was freaking out. He was more excited to get Spamton's secrets and eagerly picked up the phone. This is why I say both of them aren't saints and have done questionable to bad things to each other lmao. They can be greedy lil' businessmen. It's why I'm really wondering if people are like - digesting what's actually happening.

If anything, I think they sincerely didn't want to exploit each other. They wanted to do right by each other. But due to desperation on both their parts, they did hurt each other. They continue to hurt each other because of past transgressions, despite it being canon that both desperately want the other to acknowledge them again. And that's more complex and compelling than "Spamton was a stinky dookie butt all along".

It's tragic.

That said - this'll hopefully be my tl;dr post on Tenna and Spamton's morality until THE BIG ONE, which pertains more to mental health biases between the two.

[octobobble]

Spamton wouldn't say that probably but this reminded me of Tenna okay

[octobobble]

Me 3-4 years ago: I genuinely do not ship Spamton with anybody. I think he is the most divorced man ever (second only to asgore) Toby fox in 2025, about to do the funniest fucking thing possible:
