With an old style in his hand he used to

I’ve decided I’m going to reply to threads in the morning; there’s a couple event-prep related things I need to write and I don’t want to start replies and then not be able to finish them in one go. But! To make up for that, here are a couple of headcanons I’ve thought of for Spaul recently! And once again, thank you all for the Halloween interactions yesterday 😊 I loved them all!
Now onto the HCs…
So Eileen’s @hxzelwallflower nickname of [Hazelnut] came mainly from her URL…but recently I realized Spaul has no in universe way of knowing that lol. I initially thought that he got it from her hazel hair and eyes but then thought: “No! You know what? He probably just looked through the source code and saw the URL when he was having trouble sleeping one night and “hazel” stuck with him”! Because Spamton as a character is just aware of the fourth-wall like that 🤣 Just don’t expect him to admit to that being where it got it from, what with his awareness suppression and everything.
NEW (from like a month ago lol) SPAMTON’S SHOP ANIMATION ROLL UP ROLL UP (cw for a lot of loud sounds one right after the other towards the end if you’re sensitive to that though). Honestly the voice work is amazing, it would probably be Spaul’s new VC if NiftyTable’s take didn’t hit that “gremlin voice” spot for me. Plus the fact that it’s not a direct adaptation of the script definitely endears it to me too 😆 But that’s not the headcanon lol
I noticed both shop animations include Spamton constantly switching between normal body language and acting out the body language of his voice clips, and while that is indeed uncanny and cool looking that doesn’t really work in an RP setting. But after this second animation, I have decided that whenever Spaul’s voice clips are particularly long (i.e “[[amazed at this amazing transformation? You too can]]”) he does indeed sort of jerkily, like a puppet being pulled by strings, get forced into acting out whatever the body language of that voice clip would be while his lenses go dark. The alternative is him standing there dumb, glaring at his throat while it plays, and that’s not nearly as fun 😄
I feel like it serves a little reminder that he can be unsettling as well as goofy lol! Imagine that happening in the middle of him talking to Eileen, as it very well most likely has in the past. Poor girl 😅
Finally, here are a few songs I associate with Spamton/Spaul that no one else seems to! Or very few people if that. With explainations!
Step Right Up by Tom Waits. This song is literally just a bunch of advertising jargon strung together with no rhyme or reason, some of it flat out contradicting each other or suggesting the product is harmful. And of course there’s the one moment where the speaker snaps about heartbreak lol. All of that over a very city slicker instrumental! Think of this as a non-fan song Ad Infinitum lol, it just keeps going. Check it out!
Let’s Get This Over With by They Might Be Giants. Once the second verse hit it was all over: “Even when you’re out of work you still have a job to do…(a few lines later) I’m talking to myself even when I’m saying ‘you’”. The bridge as well, which calls to mind his speech glitch. This one’s more about the vibe then all of the lyrics, but definitely check it out too!
The Other Side from the Greatest Showman. IT’S LITERALLY A GUY MAKING A DEAL WITH SOMEONE. WHAT MORE DO YOU NEED 🤣 I always end up channeling Spam when I’m singing this song to myself anymore

Simon Riley with a single mom!reader.
She moves in to the flat next-door with her toddler, who's understandably a little freaked and unsettled by the new place, keeps her mom up all night with her cries.
She brings apology cookies over the next day, embarrassed at the fact she's not even been in the building for a month yet and her neighbours already probably hate her.
The burly, gruff looking military man who answers the door with an understanding smile and an invitation for her to join him for a cup of tea makes her jaw practically drop.
Truth is, he's seen her and her daughter in and around town for a couple of weeks now and hasn't managed the courage to speak to her, but when she comes over and hands him a divine smelling plate of cookies with a ringless finger, he can't not.
They get to chatting, and she mentions how occasionally she hears the music he plays through their adjoining wall, shares her mutual love of The Eagles and Credence Clearwater. He mentions how good her cooking smells, she invites him for dinner with a gentle smile and fingers fidgeting around the rim of her mug.
Her daughter is also a poppet, tries to get him to play Barbies with her whilst her mom makes dinner.
She preps him a really hearty meal, hot and protein rich and loaded onto the plate whilst he loads her daughter into her highchair and helps to set the table.
Single Mom!Reader can't help but revel in the almost domesticity of it, of having some support. Simon also doesn't mind the coziness of her home and the chirpiness of her daughter.
