Who is you, girl?
I'm Tachyon, though often known online as Fish, or Rawulf if you wanna get REAL formal. I use they/it pronouns, thought any work depending on the bit.
I made Cable Coils initially in ~October-ish? I was heavily inspired by the popular trend of My Little Pony infection AUs found on Tiktok, especially Going Gold by going_gold on tiktok. But that's just one of MANY many big inspos. At the time, I hadn't known of any distinct "zombie" or infection aus within Deltarune at the time so I latched onto the idea of some sort of zombie "virus" infecting cyber-esque darkners (no clue why cyber specifically, I thought the idea of a like cybergothic virus was really kickass and haven't seen it utilized much in Deltarune fan content). I'm a HUGE fan of psychological horror, which is what I would classify the genre of Cable Coils.

If you are unable to handle the contents of these, even in small doses, please mind your own triggers and do not force yourself to support this project if it will negatively mentally effect you. None of the actions or thoughts of the characters inherently reflect my own, this is a fictional story meant to tell a story with a meaning and message to consider in mind, however I want people to come to their own conclusions rather than m telling you directly. Critical thinking skills
What the hell is this!!!
Million dollar question.
Cable Coils is an alternate universe of the game Deltarune. This site will explain the AU under the assumption you have basic knowledge of Deltarune's chapters 1-4. Chalk in the midst of crazed and delusional behavior, creates a body that he deems one worthy of Heaven's approval that he would title "Neo". during the creation of neo, Chalk was worshipping the thing like a god and telling it how it's gonna be this god of freedom, fix everything, and "free" everyone, namely herself. It's notably a frankenstein/monster relationship (biggest inspo for cc). Neo, created of scraps and miscellaneous magical and organic material, seemed to start to possess sentience. It was unable to move or communicate, the only sign of life being its constant stare (something Chalk would attribute to a optical illusion rather than anything further). In a heightened state of mania, Spamton's desires for control and to achieve godliness reached a forefront. When she donned the Neo body, her life. soul. energy whatever, powered the neo body enough to move and think for itself, unforch. it could also now read her brain and realized very fast that Spamton had been speaking for herself and not for Neo's own destiny in life. Reasonably upset, dare I say, it lashes out and takes over the full plan. Escaping the basement, killing Queen (she gets turned into a little chip that Kris puts in their phone), and essentially plugging into all of Cyber City. This, due to Spamton's unstability, starts causing major glitching ads to start popping up everywhere, especially targeting the user's insecurities. The first infected being Mr. Ant Tenna of TV World. Tenna follows a green string to the Z-room, Spamton's room, she hasn't been here in ages. There she finds an ever warming and inviting, glowing, advertisement. Spamton, rather, her before her downfall, sat invitingly. She held a letter, sealed closed with a heart. "How would you like Family? Home? Safety? And eternal peace?"
Spamton looked just as divine as all those years prior. Tenna, wanting to fix everything, to go back to how things were, touches it and reaches to the letter.
The infection that would take over so much of the worlds' citizens and even take lives due to complications of the symptoms were spread through pop-up advertisements. Once interacted with by a cyber-esque darkners interact with these ads, they may recieve a change to their electro-signals that shifts their brain functions and causes states of trauma-induced delirium
Rules for interaction!
Sorry. Let's get the boring stuff done with already. It's not that bad, I'm pretty lax and not very strict on rules.
General rules
Fanart, dubs (of my work, ask other artists first), essays, videos, fanfiction, merchendising*, cosplay, music, roleplay, parodies, and all other forms of human-made fan content are MORE than welcomed and appreciated. You are welcomed to use the main tag "#CableCoilsau" to store your work along side similar content for the AU as a sort of gallery of art.
You're welcome to ship anyone with anyone, I don't care in the slightest. There are heavy Spamtenna themes, but you will learn quickly this is not the only relationship portrayed. Just have fun. Idc
I do not mind if you consume, create, or share Cable Coils content if I have you blocked or you have me blocked. I'd love you to enjoy what you do and this project can easily stand seperately from me as an artist.
Do not harrass people for "micharacterization", shipping wars, or "flanderization". These terms do not apply to fan content. Interpret whatever you want with the designs, just have fun. I really do not care
Do not speak on my behalf on rules. I am an adult and generally it's not that serious to me. "I told X off for breaking your rules for you so you're comfortable!" ...no thanks. While I appreciate your concern for my comforts, I am more than capable of handling myself.
I don't appreciate direct, unprompted critique. Think what you will, critique on your own page or community, whatever, but do not come to my face to tell me what you personally don't like about it unless I'm specifically requesting it.
Inspiration is totally fine.
Credit is not required, however it would be deeply appreciative.
Also, OCs are 100% allowed and encouraged, hell I might even kidnap some if you tag the main tag for background characters or space fillers. I won't force you to adhere to canon or be perfect in every way or whatever. Just have fun bro. Also, depictions of OCs does not entitle me to ownership of these characters. Additionally, depiction = canon, if someone is depicted in a setting, their story and lore and such will have no baring on the actual story. It's essentially just appearances if they pop up, don't read too hard into it unless they're listed in the canon character page.
Merchendising/Commissions
I am okay with all forms of merch being made of the Cable Coils AU and sold. While credit is not required, it would be appreciated!
All I ask is that you gain informed consent from myself before selling any works depiction Cable Coils content for monetary (virtual or legal currency) gain. This does not apply to commissions. I will VERY much more than likely say yes and want to support you. Though, any content without my consent will not be struck or punished, so don't worry too hard.
You are allowed to commission other artists or myself for Cable Coils content, even if it is not canon or accurate.
NSFW content
I do not mind NSFW content being made of the characters or AU, all I ask is you refrain from using the primary "#cablecoilsau" tag on social media. This tag is visible to all ages and is often used as a gallery for information and fanart. I do not want to expose my potentially underage audience to this content.
If you want my attention, you can send it to me directly in private DMs, within the Tropics Of Love Afterdark channels, or tagging my NSFW account.
Merchendising is still okay, even if it's NSFW
