Spamton's Backstory (DELTARUNE)

!! DELTARUNE CHAPTER 2 SPOILERS !!
After you defeat Spamton NEO, if you go to the dump where his shop once was, you'll find the Addisons facing the wall. If you talk to them, they'll have this to say about their former friend. Funny how familiar that 'mysterious accomplice' is, huh
Who would've thought such a silly little goofball would have the most devastating backstory out of anyone in the entire game lol. If you'll excuse me I'll be on the floor sobbing

YO I noticed there’s been a lot of comments here asking where the inspiration for my Gaster design came from and I’d like to take a sec to explain why exactly he looks so different here from the widely accepted interpretation of him! While his overall design and particularly his face does in fact draw from multiple works of analog horror as some may have guessed (not to mention I’m a huge fan of the genre), there’s a bit more at play here as to why he looks so unsettling. This look for Gaster was heavily inspired by the phenomenon of forensic facial reconstruction - basically, whenever a person is unidentified and their face is in some way damaged to a point where it’s difficult to place what they even looked like in life to begin with, there’s a team of people who will “reconstruct” their face with the bits of information about that person they have. The thing is, at least for the most part, these reconstructions look very, very uncanny. In a lot of cases the reconstruction team makes the person’s features look eerily exaggerated and unrealistic, not because they’re bad at their job, but to accentuate the person’s most significant key features so that it’s more likely that someone who knows what happened will see the image and it’ll stick in their mind. This is why Gaster looks so jarring from his more “canon” design if such a thing exists. His features are purposefully warped and distorted, most notably the cracks, his long oval shaped head, and his mouth. Since he’s always shown to be smiling, I gave him weird teeth to really amplify that. I more-so based this design on what Gaster’s most memorable features are rather than being accurate. I thought this design choice would be very fitting given the circumstances of his disappearance and how shrouded in mystery he is, and for the record, this Gaster design isn’t based on any specific facial reconstruction, it’s more along the lines of drawing inspiration from the field in general. And by the looks of the people in the comments it looks like this guy has done a damn good job at getting under people’s skin sooooo… job well done on my part I guess??? LOL So yeah. There is a level of analog horror inspiration behind his uncanny look, but it goes a bit deeper than that. Just to clear things up :P

Waitwaitwaitwait i just thought of something. Whenever you use the phone in the dark world you hear garbage noise right? My hypothesis is that whenever somone calls whoever spamton talked to, they can hear him on that device, but everyone else hears garbage noise. Maybe kris had talked to him before, so us, the player, only will hear garbage noise. However i think theres more. Continuing on with the hypothesis, i belive that at a point in the call, a player (like us) will take control of whoever they called. Spamton says he"never could be more than a puppet" after his neo fight, meaning he was one before it too. You know how sometimes kris pulls us out and its his own decision? In spamtons shop some of his diologue seems out of place, and his sprite reflects it with his eyes going static. With darkeners having no soul, theres not really a way he could get his player out. Also, you know how an Addison says one day the person helping him stopped? What if thats just when the player connected, they checked the phone and because all the player could hear was garbage noise, they just left?

"He deserved it because he tried hard for his work", I mean... Did he? He took a shortcut by making a 'deal with the devil', and in the long run... Such things never have happy endings.

@@BE-fw1lr They said he tried hard for a long time, but couldn't make sales no matter how desperate he got. He was most likely in poverty. Got to the point where he'd do anything to get clicks from the Lightners. So yeah, he put in TONS of effort... But like so many of us, hard work isn't always rewarded, you also need luck. Sure, it became easy after he made the deal... But he only did it because nothing else was working. & then as we saw, when in his own words, he "tried to see too far", perhaps trying to find out how the system worked (in the theorized lyrics in "BIG SHOT", "Tell me what you're really selling!")... The support left. He continued trying & trying, but once again, he couldn't do it on his own. & now, we find him having to work hard every day just to survive, reduced to digging through trash & trying to make items to sell out of scraps, his twisted mind fogging his reality so he could barely comprehend what he was saying or doing... But he STILL never gave up. Kept trying to get to the basement & get the NEO body, his only chance of escape. Disguises, trying to hire the rebels, then taking any opportunity we provide with our actions (good or evil). He was tenacious beyond the point that most people would've given up...

[@ThomatoForce]

An idea I've had recently is, actually, what if the 'person' on the other end of the phone, as well as the thing that talked to Jevil, is 'The Player'. Toby's games, and especially episode 2, play a damn lot with the idea of The Player as a seperate entity, voicing their commands to the characters. Maybe through The Player, Jevil realised he is in a game, and through the actions of The Player, Spamton became a big shot. Then 'The Player' stopped playing, and Spamton lost their influence, through which his success decayed. As players of games, our goals are often to 'win' in games, so it makes sense that that is the influence a Player would have on Spamton. Also, we can't forget his words about strings and being a puppet towards Kris, in how they are similar in that regard. The strings are pulled by The Player.

"but when i put the reciever to my ear..." "there was nothing but garbage noise" two sentence horror story moment

[@sddbrandon797]

it feels to me like once Spamton got help from 'mike', he left him like as if 'mike' was doing his part like they made a deal or somthing, and once 'mike' was done helping, Spamton had to pay his part of the deal...

I honestly thought this was by Martin Walls for a moment, because it just has that aesthetic... Of course, that's not to brush off that the artist did an INCREDIBLE job. ...I guess what gave me that impression was... ...Gaster's face. _EXTREMLY_ His face. _It unsettle me on a primal level._ *_...Specifically the Eyes._*

[@mask_vids9834]

It’s not confirmed to be gaster but the music is still fitting. Still I wonder who would even be responsible for that. Both Jevil and Spamton are referenced to having Met someone who helped them realize something or ‘their own potential’ or their goals. Theoretically that’s the Knight but the Knight is also confirmed to have spoken with the King and Queen. So then it must have to do with the sealed door then right? Where else could a mysterious lightener hell bent on destroying the world be

[@PolyGrid625]

one extra note about his backstory: he probably wasn't always white/colorless. one of his lines makes me think that he fell/was pushed into the acid lake, and that's what gave him the appearance we recognize. the line itself is: "I USED TO BE NOTHING BUT THE E_MAIL GUY, NOW I'M THE [[It Burns! Ow! Stop! Help Me! It Burns!]] GUY!"

[@flourrrr]

thats freaky i haven't even noticed that detail, poor puppet man.

[@user-cp9jk4jm5r]

Yea he surly falled in acid lake because queen said what her lake has effect of making anything and anyone small so possibly what spamton were the same height as Addison's but then he falls down to a acid and becomes small gremlin as we know him

[@jellybru6807]

@@JunkedLowTep the chances of gaster being the final boss is slim to none. Knowing Toby's style of story and lore-building I think he'd rather keep gasters existence extremely minimal. Saying that gaster is the reason for %90 of anything in deltarune happens feels like reaching. People also seem to forget Toby is a memer and likes to subvert expectations, so it's probably not gaster (although mike's probably going to be some sort of influence in the story, whether it'd be that smile on the TV at the end of chapter 2 or as a secret boss, but that's just my guess)

I feel like Spamton’s story is more tragic than Jevil’s. Jevil went mad because he learned the world is a fake, a fraud. However Spamton was in the big league, on his high horse for so long, until suddenly nothing, and we meet him in a dumpster and his shop is near a bunch of trash. He went from a big shot, too just plain tragedy.
