spamton in court and he’s losing so so badly
is this what you want
been having fun with lil comics lately :)c
hi so @beabigshot’s idea of addisons being able to purr since they’re computery and computer fans purr has been in my head for weeks it’s just so good,,,
this is an au or something for if spamton didn’t turn into his glasses after the fight and the addisons took him back in and gave him a place to stay, he gets stressed and freaked out because he saw that he can’t survive without strings anymore so they have to calm him down sometimes, the purring definitely helps. poor spammy hasn’t felt the touch of a person since 1997
ok so the context is that i was talking my brother about the discrepancies between ralsei’s sprites, and mentioned his different outfits (the hem of his ch 1 outfit is frayed and has green sleeves, and he wears a slightly redder colored scarf, and his ch 2 outfit has a clean hem, black sleeves (it actually looks like he’s wearing a backless dress? king. and pinker scarf) and i joked saying he overslept the day kris and susie showed up and didn’t have anything else to wear. post ch 1 he makes himself a new outfit :]

DIGITAL ROOTS - SPAMTON NEO AND THE UNCANNY VALLEY OF DEATH
spamton NEO is viscerally horrifying to me, and i mean that in the best way possible.
i think it's the way he moves. it's hard to explain. he twitches and thrashes on his strings; he's animated, but his movements are jagged, articulated. in a way, spamton NEO portrays a dichotomy of organic and artificial matter—not by contrast, but through their fusion. he's not quite real, but not quite fake. he's alive—but can you really call that living? he's something artificial trying to be organic, and failing.
i think the best way to describe spamton NEO would be uncanny.
the cyber world is a virtual, computerized realm; naturally, it's free of plant life (aside from maybe a few binary trees). there seems to be only one exception to this, however. while the rest of the cyber world is an inorganic utopia, the mansion's basement stands in stark contrast. this basement was built atop wooden rails and what looks like dirt. at some point it was seized by nature, now a home to corrupt data, and overrun with overgrown vines.
most importantly, however, this basement was where a lightner's dying dream was left to decay. it was an empty, metal shell, rotting with rust—before it became the subject of spamton's worship, and before it became a vessel for spamton's own dying dreams, as he inhabited the machine in a futile attempt to fulfill them.
in a way, this machine is is a 'false idol'—and when spamton embodies NEO, he embodies this idea. from the practically plagiarized leitmotifs in his theme down to his own name, spamton invokes himself as a bizarre facsimile of mettaton.
in undertale, mettaton was "the idol everyone craves". he believed that he would be saving humankind from destruction by taking frisk's soul. he would breach the surface, and become humanity's star—its savior. mettaton NEO, described as "Dr. Alphys's greatest invention", was designed after the delta rune symbol. with giant, rainbow wings and a triangular body, mettaton NEO was the last line of defense for monsters and humans alike: a shining, winged angel taking on the symbol of monsterkind's prophesied savior.
by becoming spamton NEO, spamton is directly appropriating both mettaton's body and ideals in service of his own desires. he embodies this divine, angelic vessel, yet the form he takes is anything but holy. it's a grotesque being of tangled wires and metal flesh, carried aloft not by its stolen wings, but by the strings holding it in stasis. his description states, "He is his own worst invention."
though mettaton doesn't appear as we knew him in undertale, his presence in deltarune's world is undeniable. his dreams took form in a world of fantasy, which happened to be the same world as spamton's life. as a lightner, mettaton occupies a higher space in reality; he is inherently more 'real' than spamton—a darkner.
spamton is a lesser, artificial being pretending to be something bigger than he is. by inhabiting this 'heaven-piercing' body, spamton is attempting to break through the barrier of reality, and rise above his creators. he fails, of course. no matter how hard he tries, spamton cannot become real. he cannot become holy, or whole. he's an artificial, inorganic being, created by hands that have long since abandoned him.
after defeating spamton NEO, ralsei says this:
* I... don't think it meant anything, Susie. * It seems like it was just a corrupted program. * He turned into our ally, so let's just accept it.
of course, this wrong. ralsei seems to know this, too—facing abjection, it's not hard to see why ralsei would try to distance himself from spamton. but the way he describes spamton, as "just a corrupted program"... i think that means something.
glitches and technological malfunctions occupy a strange spot of existence. they weren't intended to exist, but they always do. every program has the capacity to malfunction. whether it's a nuisance, an irregularity, or something genuinely catastrophic, error means something, even if it shouldn't.
imperfection defines that which is organic, and glitches are organic manifestations within inorganic creations. they're born of error, grown between faults in lines of code, like dandelions in a sidewalk. these imperfections ironically make them all the more inorganic, however.
by introducing nature to an artificial construct, glitches represent the artificial perfection of machines and technology. think about how corruption or glitches affect a video game, for example. they shatter the veil of immersion and reveal the game’s true nature. it isn't magic, it isn't a miracle—it's all lines of codes strung together, weaving the fabric of a false reality. it's not real.
a glitch is a program lashing out at its creators from the strings of code that bind it—not because it has any reason to, not because it wants to, but because it has to, because it was born from its programming, not beyond it. in the end, a glitch is only able to act as far as its code allows it to.
spamton really was "just a corrupted program". but that doesn't make him any less real—or any more fake.
TOO MANY EXCESS VACATION DAYS?? TAKE A GOD DAMN VACATION STRAIGHT TO HELL
So there's this very magnificent story online, yeah? About Spamton and Swatch, written by the lovely Oposummmmfriend.
Link here:
And I've been following it since chapter 1 and I just *needed* to do some fanart sketches for it. The angst is just MMMMM *chef's kiss*.
I think the thing that hit me the hardest in the Pibby trailer was this scene towards the end. In the bottom left corner, Muriel from Courage has joined the fight, but she isn’t wielding her iconic rolling pin — she’s fighting with Eustace’s mallet.
I obviously don’t need to explain what that implies, but just that small detail makes this hit so much harder. Even just the fact that SHE’S the one who survived instead of Courage. Muriel, the sweet nonviolent grandma that we all adore, who’s put up with so much shit from her husband and the rest of the world, from literally being prepared to be an ingredient in a stew to getting amnesia and being tortured by a psychopathic duck to even just thanklessly slaving over a hot stove — she’s lost everything, and she’s finally fighting back. But she isn’t fighting with something we recognize from her character — she’s fighting with her asshole husband’s weapon of choice. Muriel really does love Eustace, and she’s gonna get her family back even if it kills her.

In your Addison lore it shows that Addison chicks get pigmentation the more they grow, but Spamton never really develop his pigmentation. Is he a rare case or are there other white addisons.
i have a couple thoughts about this! i had the idea that spamton somehow was left to go out in the world too early, and since he didn’t know how to properly advertise yet he couldn’t sell things and make money, which is part of an addisons diet. addisons live off of light, but they need payment to stay healthy, they don’t actually digest money it’s probably some part of their cybernetics and transactions of money power their inner workings
if spammy left home too early and couldnt sell things properly, he would have a deficiency of this important part of an addisons diet and have stunted growth and color, causing him to be a little shorter than the other addisons as well as staying hatchling white, which only made his ability to sell products worse (people are attracted to brightly colored flashy addisons, not a plain white one). also this could explain why spamton is so obsessed with making money, since he has an unintentional craving to get the proper stuff he needs to grow. this probably is rare in addisons but not unheard of, there are definitely a few other white addisons around.
(also for an angst possibility, maybe he got abandoned and left to fend for himself too early on purpose? :[[ )
also, this could just be a random color mutation unrelated to going out in the world too early that makes addisons less successful at selling cuz they would be less flashy, and it’s rarer since it actually causes them trouble at their job. but i like the money malnutrition better
hey pibby can you please not run around in my brain rent free before you actually release? i still want to continue my deltarune brainrot, please and thank you.
NFTs VS Commissions
IT'S HERE

it’s time to yell at Discord before they help destroy the planet
Discord’s CEO is on twitter hinting about their apparent future involvement with NFTs/crypto.
In case you aren’t already aware, cryptocurrency is digital currency that sucks because it consumes an absurd amount of energy and computer parts, and NFTs are a way of creating false scarcity for digital items, which are bought and sold with crypto currency, and also suck. Here is an article about why that shit sucks. The article has additional information. Here is a twitter account that also documents NFT thefts & scams (NFTs are often stolen art sold without permission).
HERE IS WHAT YOU SHOULD DO ASAP:
1. CANCEL NITRO. Don’t wait around for them to reverse course or apologize. Cancel it now, choose “other” when it asks why you’re canceling and write in your answer. They need to see the financial backlash right now. You can always re-sub if they backpedal, but right now they need the impetus to do the backpedaling.
2. GO HERE to their feedback forum. make a thread and tell them you cancelled nitro and don’t want them involved with crypto garbage. contribute to other threads if you see one that piques your interest. EXTRA CREDIT: downvote this thread, boo them, downvote the crypto dingdongs in the comments.
3. If you have twitter, tweet at them. tweet at @discord and reply to Jason’s tweet with whatever dunking and booing you feel like.
4. PASS IT AROUND. Tell your friends with nitro. Tell your favorite group chats and servers. Encourage them to do the same.
This is one of those situations where we need massive and decisive backlash RIGHT NOW to nip it in the bud. Your input really does matter right now. Shouting down shit like this has gotten even companies like Patreon to reverse course on bad decisions. Even the stupidest tech bros do respond to enough screaming. So SCREAM. Remind them where their real money comes from, and scare them away from the planet-destroying fake money.
