Does Fish Remember Tumblr Exists?

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

Timelapse below

First seen with Tenna, she exists as a hallucination built off of Tenna's memories and desires. The first thing about her is just how warm and comforting her presence is. How perfect she looks.

Everything about her draws Tenna into this fantasy where they host at the Dreemurrs, where they're still in love, where Spamton can reassure Tenna and keep her happy and comfortable

Digi is a sort of fake persona created by Neo in order to keep Tenna oblivious and happy, she looks like a very pristine version of Spamton in her bigshot era, glamorized based on Tenna's view of her in her memories. Digi is very agreeable and doting, yet in control. She is constantly reassuring Tenna deeper into a mindset of helplessness, obliviousness, and euphoria to keep her from realizing the damages shes doing to everyone The one time the allusion entirely shatters is when she hugs Kris as close as she can, accidentally breaking one of their ribs, their arm, and leaving a deep gash from her claws into their skin. Purely accidentally, unaware of their struggling to get away, unaware even Kris wasn't a very small child that would *need* that total body support and wrapping around them. But that blood on her hand and claws caused Tenna to freeze up because the allusion wasn't able to replace the blood with anything, giving her a small glimpse of reality.

She'd end up letting go, dazed and terrified, giving the crew enough time to escape before she found comfort in Digi's lies and reality twisting and delusions.

Hehhe, funny thing about Digi. Her tail is very specific for a reason. Drongos are birds that mimic other birds to steal for food, True Spamton, the Spamton trapped inside Neo, has a similar tail, but notably *not* a drongos. "They feed on insects and small birds, which they catch in flight or on the ground. Some species are accomplished mimics and have a variety of alarm calls, to which other birds and animals often respond. They are known to utter fake alarm calls that scare other animals off food, which the drongo then claims." -Wikipedia on Drongos as a species

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 nearlyyyy 2K ppl on TikTok convinced me to try and post my Deltarune au here !!

Tenna is one of the most important people to the infection in Cable Coils. She runs TV World nearly 24/7, hosting new adverts and infomercials from the infected Addisons to infect others or sermons for Neo. With the natural draw to TV the infected people have, she instantly gains what's nearly a cult to watching her.

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.

After her infection, she's shoved into delusion and fantasy to keep her oblivious and euphoric, held by Digital Spamton keeping her calm and at peace in the world. She mistakes everything she does to be for the Dreemurrs or Spamton, not fully understanding how dangerous and devastating her actions are as she continues to spread the infection to other cyber darkners.

The infection - symptoms

uncanny or unnatural smiles

dazed or confused mindsets

difficulty verbalizing thoughts

slowed, hyper, and/or twitchy/shakey speech and voices

overwhelmingly touchy or cuddly. Often paired with possessive tendencies towards items or people (may display hoarding tendencies)

heightened energy, even when at brinks of exhaustion or physical harm

intense aggression when desires are not met

euphoria

disconnected speech (may say things unrelated to what they were saying prior)

heightened body temp

trembling, body twitches, seizures, spasms

draw towards technology, especially communication based ones (i.e TV, telephones, etc)

There's a few symptons that Tenna has that none of the others do because of how fargone she was, these aren't checked for diagnosis but are a factor brought on by the virus.

drooling

frequent blood from orifices (mouth, under nails, vents, between the metal plating on her body, etc)

animalistic levels of aggression (growling, snarling, biting)

hyperventilating

vomiting

dissociation

hallucinations

frequent electrical surges

deranged or otherwise psychotic behavior

sensory seeking to points of putting herself in physical danger or self mutilation

Art is by @l1ttlem1ssy !!!

Swatch attempts to imitate Chalk’s supposed “future sight” through painting, creating abstract and intentionally cryptic works meant to resemble prophetic art. Most of the paintings are vague, simplistic, or symbolic enough that people can project meaning onto them afterward. Swatch presents these works very seriously, treating them as proof of insight and importance within the Mansions of Kings. Marigold absolutely despises this. Unlike Swatch, Marigold takes pride in having genuinely known Chalk personally before everything collapsed. He frequently reminds others that Chalk had spoken about the Neo project long before disappearing from the Addisons entirely, including openly threatening to build it during arguments and breakdowns. Because of this, Marigold sees Swatch’s behavior as performative opportunism rather than genuine understanding. The two argue constantly over status and importance within the mansion. Swatch believes their role as Neo’s painter and interpreter gives them significance, while Marigold insists he understands Chalk, Neo, and the mansion better than anyone else there. Much of their conflict boils down to both of them desperately wanting recognition and proximity to something they believe is divine or historically important.
