Context: Deltarune MTT gets his dream body but can’t become corporeal bc if he corps in TV world, he can never come back to the surface, and vice versa (can’t just Walk from Castle Town to another dark world, much less one without a fountain).

Going insane rn because obviously tenna and spamton are exes and tenna and mettaton are definitely gonna bone at some point but, spamton and mettaton are also so deeply connected. Something like. You've never met me and I've never met you, but your discarded dreams became my only hope for freedom. I clothed myself in your ideal self and maybe it meant nothing, but for one shining moment everything you ever wanted was real and present and mine. Also your new TV took my pipis in the divorce

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.

[redscarf2]

the combination of tenna not knowing what e-mail is and also calling spamton a mailman makes me think that at some point spamton tried to explain his job description to him but just could not get the concept across until finally tenna went "ohh i get it. you're a mailman!! you deliver mail!! ^D" and spamton was just like Sure Let's Go With That and then it just. never got corrected

[redscarf2]

My one and only headcanon of them is that Mettaton and Tenna haven't had the chance to get frisky with each other since Spamton moved in because he always interrupts them for whatever reason (he's doing it on purpose)

[redscarf2]

To the people fighting between spamtenna and mettatenna, I present you......... something worse

[redscarf2]

I know they furiously masturbate in anger about each other as they cry themselves to sleep like they used to furiously masturbate together before crying themselves to sleep [while cuddling].

Idk what it was about the secret minigames in chapter 3 that hit so hard but MAN. I got legitimate chills playing through those. Maybe bc it really feels like a callback to those earlier games where glitches are way easier to exploit, or when you could use cheat codes to walk through walls in specific games…it all just felt very surreal and nostalgic. There was definitely a touch of like, those creepypasta stories in there too, where the game diverges so far from the source material it’s terrifying or it even affects what’s going on in real life (like when the Kris avatar escapes the screen and can approach the real Kris). The meta narrative really popped off here, kudos Toby for making me so terrified I had to hold my breath
