Cable Coils AU

Digi is the most glamorized version of her, pristine and perfect based on Tenna’s perception

Her personality is comforting and warm although dominant and deeply manipulative

Neo is what Spamton desired the most out of herself, someone confident and in total control and freed of pressures and terror. But once it gains consciousness, it is fueled by that pampering and promises Spamton gave it, but wrecked with grief and despair when it realized all it’ll be is a stepping stone for Spamton so its furious and taking everything further than Spamton ever imagined it could because it’s just aware of its power. And True Spamton is still as normal in the games but now terrified and exhausted as Neo had leeched all of her energy and will

She thought she could control Neo or the situation but everything got worse and worse and she lost more and more power, until she turned into nothing but what she would have used Neo for

Neo REVELS in what all it’s done to the worlds and how the infected worship it

Funnily enough it wouldn’t even have been enough long term for Neo to have the entire world infected, eventually it would have grown bored and anxious as a god

When you have it all, what comes next?

Spamton never wanted to have EVERYTHING she just wanted to have relief and payback for the hell she went through, but she never wanted them to die or anything to the extremes that Neo had gone, but it doesn’t know that

Spamton wanted revenge for her life but accidentally birthed a sentient creature, told it it would be a god of freedom and push all her fantasies onto it, and treated it as a puppet just as she was treated

The weather is beautiful. Why don’t you take a walk, my dear.

Finally got a painting done for Cable Coils, iiiiits Elnina!

Tornadoes are a big thing in CC, they’re one of the biggest environmental threats and a pretty well sized thematic piece, these tornados jumping the unopened darkness is especially horrifying because they figured that it would stay in just the Cyber City fields and Paleo-Cyber City. But whoops, they’re coming straight for the refugee camps in basically all but TV World

Does Fish Remember Tumblr Exists?

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’s reach appears to be limited to Darkners with “cyber” traits. This includes Darkners based on objects or concepts with access to the internet, broadcasting, communication, or digital connection, such as TVs, phones, cameras, apps, advertisements, and similar technology. The infection spreads when an individual comes into contact with specific spores left behind through Neo’s connections. These spores often manifest as advertisements or pop-ups, directly targeting the individual’s mind, insecurities, desires, or fears. This story is not meant to be read as a simple zombie infection narrative. The infection is a vehicle for something more psychological, personal, and thematic. I encourage readers to approach it in good faith and pay close attention to the details, especially the way the infection reflects each character’s inner world rather than functioning as a generic monster plague. But that is all I'll say in terms of "what does this story aim to represent"

Look,

I’m a huge yuri fan, I’m a lesbian myself, and part of the fun for me is she/her-ing male characters I love. You’ll see that constantly throughout CC. Most characters in the AU are intentionally written with very loose gender presentation and pronoun usage, and generally go by any/all pronouns unless otherwise specified. Some characters have pronouns I personally default to more often, but if you interpret or refer to them differently, I genuinely do not care. Part of this is honestly just because there’s very little content that fully lines up with my personal tastes, so this is my own way of engaging with characters and dynamics I enjoy. Another part is that, being intersex and nonbinary, I genuinely do not perceive gender very rigidly in the first place. My attitude toward it is extremely relaxed and casual, and I wanted the AU itself to reflect that. So there really is no single “correct” way to interpret most of the characters’ genders in Cable Coils. You’ll still see he/him, she/her, they/them, it/its, xenos, and pretty much everything else depending on the character, the scene, or even just the vibe at the moment. There are only three characters with pronouns that are actually lore-significant:

Kris uses they/it

Neo uses it/its

Friend uses it/its
