#addisons#deltarune#dizzyisms#like. I've wondered abt whether people would still love the Adds as characters if they Didn’t have any connection to Spamton#which I feel plays a major part in why this subset of the fandom latched onto them- Spam is like The Blorbo of DR. he's the Sans Undertale#and honestly? the answer is probably still Yes#like for me personally I Love the whole concept of 'Darkners are the Personifications of objects in the Light World'#and especially in Chapter 2 being based around the Internet#but a very specific Era of the Internet that a lot of DR/UT fans prob grew up with n are Nostalgic for#yet there's hints of more modern Internet culture too#and you could argue that that's where the Adds come in#the rapid commercialization of online spaces and how Ubiquitous Internet ads have become nowadays#like. we're prob lucky Hometown's Internet was down while the Fun Gang were at the Librarby#bc otherwise they wouldn't be able to walk ten steps without bumping into an Addison#...I was going somewhere with this#oh yeah#making different computer/tech related things into characters is a super fun idea to play with#and that includes the Omnipresent Internet Ads#so even if the Addisons Didn't get the few crumbs of characterization that they did#people (Me Included) would still be scrambling to flesh them out into proper characters#that one fucking Spotify Premium ad you keep hearing is now a neon colored twink who looks like they stepped out of a Facebook infographic#why the hell not
