[lightnersdream]

yeah, while i wasn't talking about strictly romantic relationships/shipping this is definitely true......... i've complained about it a lot but the popularity of "evil violent Swatch" / "misunderstood poor guy Spamton" during swatchton's heyday was baffling. they're reinventing it for Spamton and Tenna in a different way and it's all really annoying

game: these two characters have a complicated & nuanced relationship

fandom: So which one is evil and which one is a pure baby boy

It's interesting to think that, like... The Dark Sanctuary Dark World in Chapter 4 is the first Dark World we've seen that has no real connection to the theme of 'abandonment'.

Like, Card Kingdom is based on an unused classroom filled with abandoned toys. The entire plotline there revolves around King's anger and resentment at being abandoned by the Lightners and his desire to take revenge.

The computer room that became Cyber World is usually very frequently used, but.... because the Internet is down it's not at the moment. And Queen is driven by the anxiety of being abandoned if this internet shutdown continues, synthesized through her ego in a very "what would the Lightners do without me?" way.

And TV Land is the heaviest on this theme. With Tenna being driven by the grief of falling into disuse due to both technological advancements and the Dreemurr-Holiday Family Unit slow dissolution and the fear that this will get worse and he will be thrown out.

But then in the Dark Sanctuary... The Church is often used by the people of Hometown, this doesn't seem like it's going to change anytime soon and we see no Darkner be anxious about, like, the canceled Choir practice or anything like that. The closest thing we have to a 'leader' in that Dark World is Gerson/the Hammer of Justice, who is clearly a precious and well-loved Monster-Equivalent-of-an-Urn. If anything, his main worry is about him not being there for his Lightner son!

And, like, I said the Hammer of Justice is the closest thing we have to the 'Dark World Leader' slot in the formula seen in the previous three worlds, but that's also not quite the case.... cause he's also the Shadow Crystal Bearer of the same world. If the Hammer is like the Jevil or Spamton of this world, than it doesn't really have a King/Queen/Tenna for itself?

I remember when Chapter 2 came out, I already noticed this 'Abandonment' Pattern and I wondered whatever a Dark World created from objects that are not neglected or abandoned would just be far too.... content to actually have an adventure in it. Like, there would be no one to fight cause all the Darkners would just be chill and happy they're fulfilling their purposes.

And I also wondered if the Dark is, like, attracted to objects which were abandoned or neglected, gives them bigger importance or power in the Dark World. Hence a 'TV Land" instead of a general "Dreemurr House Land", the TV is the most abandoned thing there and so it is granted more focus.

And on that same topic I wondered about the fact Kris deliberately turned on the TV before opening that Dark Fountain. Like they were intentionally trying to aim for a TV Land Dark World.

Obviously the first idea, that non-abandoned Darkners would all just be benign NPCs has been disproved by the Dark Sanctuary, which has it's fair share of enemies to battle. But I think the idea that the Dark gives extra power and importance to things that have been Abandonment might have some merit. Not just with the Dreemurrs' living room being ruled and controlled by their disused old TV but also with the fact there isn't a clearly equivalent to Tenna (or Queen or King) in Dark Sanctuary.

And again, it makes me think of Kris' reasons for turning on the TV... Was it because their plans is to deliberately invoke the prophecy as much as possible and a TV Guy being slashed by the Knight is mentioned so they had to make a TV Guy?

Could they intuit that the Darkner that would be created from the Television would probably be desperate for attention and obsessed with Toriel and thus easier for the Knight to manipulate.... and also maybe that the Abandonment it feels will make it stronger?

(Notable perhaps that they also slightly opened the house's front door before turning on the TV and making a Fountain. In light of the events of Chapter 3, it seems like it was Kris laying a trap to pull Undyne to the Dark World so that the Knight could kidnap her)

Have Kris and/or the Knight have been deliberately seeking out abandoned and disused places that will therefore have stronger 'boss' Darkners that are easier to manipulate towards the Knight's goals?

And if that was the case, why did they stop with the Dark Sanctuary?

Did they just kinda... ran out of obviously abandoned places/things around Hometown?

Was it simply a matter of following the prophecy?

Was it a desperate attempt to re-capture Toriel via the choir practice?

Was the Knight just desperate to open a new Dark Fountain... somewhere and went with the Church as their first opportunity?

Was that pattern I noticed just a coincidence and doesn't actually mean anything?

A lot of things to think about...

Oh i get to offer Swatch to my favourite writer??? Excellent!!!

Please consider i'm so gay for that charming bird and i want to kiss him so hard his glasses tilt sideways.

If you ever write anything about him i will give you my life

Swatch x Human male reader 

Headcanons 

I love Swatch, I love so many of the characters from Deltarune and Undertale. Like, Rudy? Asgore? Spamton? Sweet Capn Cakes? Come on man, they should be happy theres a screen holding me back. 

I was the fucking worst when it came to being in love with Sans and Papyrus back in the day. All the AUs? Yeah, I knew them like the back of my hand. I even made my own AU, back in the day. 

No spoilers for chapter 3 or 4. 

You were the only other human living in Hometown. You had been adopted by Cat family when you were a baby. Apparently, your human mother, and your cat mother, had been friends in college. 

Being the only other human had resulted in Kris clinging to you when they were younger, especially when they were hit with the “I'm not a monster like my family” phase, one you had gone through too. 

You used to babysit Kris and Asriel when they were younger too, even if Asriel always claimed he was too old to be babysat. Instead, you guys just called it “hanging out”. 

After high school, you moved out of Hometown and to the bigger city, starting a degree in coding and computer science. You still came home at least one weekend a month though. 

You met Swatch on one of the lucky weeks where all your classes had been cancelled, for days even, so you took the chance and drove home. Of course, you spent the first while with your parents, then your sisters, even visiting Catti at the diner where she worked. 

But you felt a need to find your little buddy, even if Kris wasn't that little anymore. Call it your human alliance, but Kris had always felt like a little sibling to you. 

Jockington told you that she had seen Kris head towards the library after school, so you went there, assuming they were farting about in the computer lab playing games like always. 

How you end up in the Dark World is lost to you, it just... kinda happened. You couldn't really figure out what Class you were supposed to be, or if this world even had those kinds of things. 

It just reminded you a lot of the few sessions of Dungeons & Dungeons (because Dungeons & Dragons wouldn't be fantasy in a world with dragons) you had played with your art club back at college. 

But hey, you had magic. Something you didn't have back on the surface, or whatever you should call it, being human and all. 

You end up just kinda wandering around, talking to some different monsters, and you figure out that Kris is supposed to be down here and is wanted? By the Queen? 

Anyways, one way or another you end up at the Queens mansion, and feeling tired from all the walking you saddle up in the Color Cafe. It helps that the shopkeeper is so handsome too. 

Dess always giggled about your love for butler characters in media, so what if you loved Otome games and anime, she and Asriel were big nerds too. 

You end up spending the rest of the day, just sitting in the cafe and talking to Swatch. Hes all professional and sharp edges in the beginning, but you start to wear him down and you get to see the real him. 

You even pump a fist on the inside when you get him to blush. It hadn't even been on purpose, you just touched his hand, wanting to show him your cool new magic. 

It wasn't like you were good at it, you hadn't even figured out what your magic really did yet, but Swatch got all red in the face, and his feathers started puffing up. 

It was so cute you wanted to bite your plate hard enough to break it. It ends with Swatch clearing his throat, adjusting his glasses like an anime character (you had to contain your “Kyaah” at that one), and offering to teach you. 

And so, you guys spend a good hour, maybe two, working on your magic. There were no costumers during this time, so you get a feeling Swatch might have flipped the door sign to CLOSED. 

Especially because, he starts pulling the good ol “let me adjust your arm for you” move, getting up behind you and supporting your arms with his own. 

All was good and dandy until this purple monster girl you have only seen in passing barge in, complaining about the shop being closed. 

Imagine you, Swatch, and the group of heroes- and hey, there's Kris, all freezing. Kris is stoic as always, but you swear you see their eyes widen and mouth open in shock, and the other two just look equally shocked at the sight of you. 

Both you and Swatch cough and sputter, the shopkeeper fluttering back to his spot and brushing down his puffy feathers. Seeing him immediately snap into his butler-sona almost makes you crack up. 

It takes a bit, but you get yourself introduced, completely ignoring the situation they had walked in on, and you figure out their mission too. 

Kris seems to struggle against... something... for a bit, before they leave. Its a bit scary, honestly, but they free themselves from whatever is holding them back, and hurry over to give you a tense hug. You'll have to ask them what that's about later. 

But, you stay in the cafe as Kris, Susie and Ralsei, rush off to be the heroes the prophecy wants them to be. And you? You have a hot butler to keep flirting with. 

In the end, you do appear in the battle against the Queen, cuz nobody gets to kick your human pal's ass, other than you in Super Smashing Fighters. 

When Queen is defeated, and the Dark Fountain is shut down, you are heartbroken at the thought that your new boo would cease to exist.  

Imagine your joy when Kris and Susie bring you with them to Castle Town, where your pretty bird is now manning the bar? Restaurant? Cafe? 

Learning that Darkners can't leave the Dark World does mess you up, especially after you and Swatch get closer. You swear to find a way to make it possible, because you promised him a date in the big city. 

You do feel your face flush a little when the Swatchlings appear, all so big, sharp and ready to serve.  

Swatch lets out a barely hidden huff, his neck feathers puffing up differently to when he's flustered. You would never pick the Swatchlings over him, obviously, but they are really cute... 

Being one of the Lightners also means Ralsei makes you a room of your own too, the cute Darkner princess having been so observant during your conversations that he fits it right to your tastes 

And... it means you can bring Swatch there so you guys can be alone. Up until that point you guys would have mostly spoken in the cafe and the bar he runs in Castle Town.  

Here, you two can be completely yourselves and learn all the small things about each other. 

And here you guys can kiss, because by god you have been starving to do so since you guys meet. Swatch is so cute when he kisses, as his glasses get all skewed up, and he starts tittering. 

Hes so polite and careful, and admits he doesn't have much, if any, experience, because hes always been serving and doing other things. 

And you, you are ready to help him figure out everything he doesn't know. At least for the while you are still in Hometown, after that, you have to find a way to bring him with you...

Version 1.07 of Deltarune reworked the Fluffy Guard ACT found in the Normal Route version of the Spamton NEO battle. The ACT had its TP cost halved, added a way to stop its rotation by holding the cancel key, and made it turn red as it gets damaged.

based off this post about an unused wheel of fortune thing and the options on it:

[haveapizzaparty]

Even if you see Ramb as the Jevil/Spamton-like figure of his chapter, it's still really funny how hard he veers from the fandom's expectation. All that talk about discarded flowers, cancelled cowboy shows and sexy dragons and we get another power outlet with a British accent and a fancy haircut.

[out-of-daybr34k]

Is Mr. (Ant) Tenna's TV TIME one of those situations wherein the host is the show itself? I mean, yes, Tenna is literally a TV, but when he starts to lose stability, so does the show.

The mini games and board and assets #funometer start acting in unpredictable ways when he starts to break down. When we play the doom version of the rhythm minigame and BIG SHOT plays and he's like "Haha what the fuck," it's not like Mike or Spamton did that. It's not like the show or set itself is sentient and did it.. unless Tenna is the show and what occurs on the show is a reflection of his subconscious. He's got feelings about how Spamton "abandoned" him just like how The Fun Gang are apparently trying to, and those feelings and fears are leaking into the show. Because the show is a part of him. I mean, that makes sense, right?

This interpretation is backed up just a tiny bit by [KILLED] [Cancelled] showing up when he's feeling particularly droopy (or, rather, abandoned), the fun-o-meter directly matching his level of excitement rather than that of his audience, and even his little text effects? And their sound effects? He is the show. Do you see the vision? When he breaks down, the show breaks down, and when he swells, the show swells. He can't stop it. Do you see the vision?

[ask-tenna]

tenna are you suer you can call spamton a whore on live television.. as much as its the funniest thing ever

The censors seem not to care. But I’m more worried about being cancelled for the other thing I said to him.

[ultrakill-confessions]

what I'm hearing about the gabriel plushies so far is that they have the exact opposite energies to the deltarune spamton plushies. people sleeping with gaby plush feeling calm, at ease, having nice dreams. meanwhile sleeping with spamton plush causes horrific nightmares. does sleeping with both cancel the energies out? does one have more potent vibes? I'm curious and own neither - 🌙🪓

[trmnl-skies]

yet ANOTHER theory about mike

details that i haven't noticed many people comment on and i feel the need to bring it up

in order to understand more about who this "mike" character is, we first have to look at spamton and his origin. the story goes that he was desperate for fame, phoned a gameshow host by the name of mike, his sales went up, and abruptly mike... seemingly vanished?

and spamton is pretty righteously upset about it. several lines spoken in his spamton neo form tell us that he feels robbed of fame and fortune, and he seems to blame mike for his sales dropping again.

but one of spamton's distinguishing characteristics is that he talks almost exclusively in television speak and advertisements.

so, that line's confusing. why would tenna cover for mike? all of spamton's other dialogue both in chapter 2 and the sweepstakes convey the two have some sort of rivalry. in fact, it's even implied tenna did something bad to mike.

so why would tenna propogate mike as a good person?

that's just the thing! he's not. look closely at the dialogue.

spamton was trying to say "don't believe tenna" but his strange television censorship replaced 'tenna' with [anything you see on tv]. thereby meaning that mike is NOT a criminal. TENNA is.

as for where mike actually went after he disappeared, there was also this interruption. someone in an unknown location used spamton as a vessel communicate with the player. or anyone listening, really.

then later on, in the spamton sweepstakes, we see the same static again. click around somewhere in the noise, and you can uncover this dialogue.

this is just a hunch, but this particular dialogue reads more like mike than the last one did. this character has a booming, dramatic voice, which makes sense considering mike's after all a gameshow host.

therefore, the voice asking for help earlier COULD just someone else trapped in the same place. the static seems to be a sort of prison detached from everything else.

my last point of interest in this theory is mike's potential residue, found in the structure of the green room:

the m shaped doors. everything else in this room screams 'tenna, tenna, tenna' but this detail shows he might not have erased mike's residue completely.

there's a chance that the m stands for something else that we haven't heard of, but i have my doubts. given the focus on this mysterious character and tenna, whom we haven't met yet, i think we have strong reason to believe mike was here in the past.

now that all these details have been elaborated on, i've come up with a speculative answer as to what's going on. it's not to be taken seriously, but it could end up meaning something:

mike was once a popular gameshow host whose views and ratings were skyrocketing. he may have even been the biggest tv star in the dark world. but either mike got even greedier, or the cathode's crew became jealous of his attention, and his show was taken off the air. when broadcasts are canceled, the inhabitants enter into some static hellworld where they'll most likely remain until the plot of chapter 3.

that could be one of the main plotpoints of the chapter. tenna, who almost seems to be treated like a mobster, dismantles his competition for attention, and it's the fun gang's job to retrieve them from their imprisonment.

but! that's just speculation. we won't know anything for sure until the game comes out sometime later this year

Snowgrave route cancelled, i can't get past neo spamton and it's pissing me off.

Wowee, five days late, but here is my April Fool's Day picture! What's the joke here? Well, that's the joke! There isn't one at all except for one foolish woman's endeavors.

This is a drawing of my Addison lady, Thetalan (aka Theta), loosely based on the Fool Card of a tarot deck.

During the 1990s, Theta was a naive White Addison lady who fell deeply in love with Spamton G. Spamton, the BIG SHOT himself! Years before he burst into stardom, the two had a chance encounter in 1993 when Spamton was still building his wealth. While Theta was working at a sports arena on her first day, Spamton approached her stand to buy beer for him and his friend. However, he noticed her lack of training and, as a small gesture of kindness, showed her how to properly pour a beer from the tap before handing her a generous $20 tip. This encounter embedded into her very SOUL; Theta never forgot him, and her adoration for him grew into unconditional love in the years that followed.

Like the fabled sun in their world without one, she gazed upon his visage in awe and often said, "Someday, I want to be just like him and shine brightly above the city lights!"

Despite her best efforts, he rose higher and higher while she remained nothing more than a regular Addison. However, this did not stop her from believing that someday they would surely talk again!

Thoughts of love swirled in her mind, inspiring her to write him many poems, but she never had the courage to mail them. Then, one day in 1997, Spamton announced the opening of a dedicated PO box to send him fan letters with the possibility of reading his favorite ones on TV. This was her chance to finally get him to acknowledge her love for all to witness!

She rushed to her desk and poured all her devotion onto the paper, confessing every thought and feeling she had since their initial encounter. With a heart-shaped seal, she sent the love letter off, praying that he would find hers, remember that small moment they shared, and let all of CYBER WORLD and the neighboring Dark Worlds know how much he meant to her.

Every episode of the SPAMTON LOVE NETWORK sent her heart pounding. Surely there would come the day he'd find hers in all those piles of fan letters? She never gave up hope and believed he would read hers one day!

However, by 1998, Spamton's sales and net worth declined. The SPAMTON LOVE NETWORK was canceled in 1999 when a mysterious health condition robbed him from going on stage again. Crestfallen, Theta sobbed, knowing she'd never hear her "prince" announce her words of love. She prayed from the core of her SOUL, hoping he read her letter despite everything and kept it close to his heart.
