Spamton G. Spamton needs no introduction; he absolutely destroyed the internet when Deltarune's second chapter came out, everyone on the planet has heard about him. Despite this, I've noticed not a lot of people seem to write his dialogue properly. I want to clarify that this is only a suggestion, I'm not trying to gatekeep how you write. I'm just making a guide to write while staying true to Spamton's dialogue in the actual game.

If you somehow don't know who Spamton is, this book will be incredibly strange to you.

Now, let's get started with his most defining trait: the bracket dialogue.


His bracket lines, for the most part, have the first letter of every word capitalized. There are some exceptions, such as him shouting [[BIG SHOT]] and [MIKE], or him capitalizing [[NEO]], but as a general rule of thumb, the first letter of each word should be capitalized and that's it. 

HEY!!! DIDN'T YOU EVER HEAR THE PHRASE, [Make Money, Not War]! HOW'S AN INNOCENT GUY LIKE ME SUPPOSED TO [Rip People Off] WHEN KIDS LIKE YOU ARE [Beating People Up]...


He also likes to jump from using [One Bracket] or [[Two Brackets]], for some reason.

...YOU [[Funky]] LITTLE [[Worm]]

...[Smooth Taste] ALREADY!!


In general, the bracket lines don't actually mean anything. They often loosely connect to whatever he was saying, but usually, they're just random slogans or phrases found commonly in commercials or computer programs.

ME? ... FRIENDS? EAHAEHAEHAEHAEH!!! KRIS! YOU AND ME. ARE ALREADY [Friend Request Accepted] WE DON'T NEED ANYONE ELSE!!! WE DON'T NEED [[Easels]] or [[CRTs]]! WE DON'T NEED ANY [[Man, Woman, or Child]] [[At Half Price]]!! 


There are a few phrases that often make their way into his bracket lines, the most notable being [Hyperlink Blocked]. There's also [Little Sponge], [Cungadero], [Communion], [Little Sponge], and [Hotsingle].


He consistently refers to Noelle as "[Hoochie Mama]", souls as "[HeartShapedObject]s" the Thorn Ring as a [Commemorative Ring], and Pipis as "[Eggs]".


That's about all for now, am tired
