MORE DELTARUNE CHAPTER 3+4 SPOILERS FOR BOTH ROUTES, BEWARE!

Spamton was already a tragic parallel to Kris's situation even back when all we had was Chapter 2, but now with the added info we got in Chapter 4, I think it runs even deeper than that. Spamton and his whole arc is uniquely fixated on freedom, something no other Darkner seems to care much about, which is very deliberate considering that the chapter you meet him is also the one where you can start to divert from the path chosen for you.

Spoilery talk of course, a bit rambly )

The Spamton brainworms are returning... how could this happen...

SO MANY THOUGHTS TO PUT IN ORDER ABOUT THE NEW DELTARUNE CHAPTERS STILL but in the meantime have this post i made on tumblr, haha. Spoiler warning of course!

Thinking about why I like Tenna, he's fun, but he doesn't grab me like Spamton does, in spite of them both being OTT flashy weirdos who are sad and attention-starved. On the surface they act pretty similar, to the point where I thought of Tenna as Diet Spamton, but the more I think about it they actually have a lot of really big differences between them. They're almost opposites, actually. What I think it comes down to is their greater themes. Tenna, King, and Queen are all about abandonment/neglect. Spamton, in comparison, is all about failure.

Counterpoints to each other! )
