//OOC

Bad news: I'm very sick, hooray! I couldn't fall asleep last night because of how much my throat hurt, but now it's feeling a little better...but I do have a higher fever, so hopefully I'll get some sleep tonight! I'll be answering asks as soon as I get better!

Good news: I just found out about the existence of a site called My Retro TV in which you can watch television from different eras. It's adorable because you interact with a little TV- you have to turn it on, you have all the controls for adjusting the volume, change channels, you can choose the kind of programs you're shown and all things like that! When you change the channel there's a static effect and the screen quality is that of a TV of those times, which looks adorable honestly! I picked the 90s (headcanon that Tenna is a 90s CRT TV, I had to pick that one), I looked over at the long list of contents and I see 39882 CHANNELS???? HELLO???? AND ALMOST 20000 COMMERCIALS????

Am I going to use the site to have a better idea of the kind of content Tenna broadcasts? Maybe. Will I also look at the commercials to have a better idea of Big Shot Era Spamton? Perhaps.....

By the way, the first thing I was shown when turning on the 90s TV was a music video(?) that looked pretty........'salacious'- is that the first thing Mettaton saw after you gave him Tenna? You know, the 'salacious' music video that 'awoken something' in him?

Like, I get the parental controls have finally been switched off after at least a decade, but HOLY Tenna, calm down-

(OOC, I’m doing this as anon just because I don’t intend to do an ask with this character again. He won’t be reoccurring from my end. I thought it could be interesting, so do whatever you want with it.)

[ * RING RING ]

[ * CLICK ]

* HEY [[cathode]].

* IT’S BEEN A WHILE SINCE YOU’VE SEEN THIS [[#1 rated salesman]] HUH?

* I’M SURE YOU HAVEN’T MISSED THIS [[vermin problems]].

* …

* I WANTED TO [[apology accepted]] FOR [[left you on read]].

* IT WASN’T [[fair and square]] OF ME.

* I JUST NEEDED TO MAKE SURE YOU KNOW THAT.

* MAYBE IF I HADN’T [[dine and dash]] SO SUDDENLY…

[ * Suddenly, the voice grows slightly muffled as they seem to get distracted by something else. ]

* WHAT’S THAT? [[wrong number!!!]]? SURE IT IS! I KNOW THAT [[CRT]]’S NUMBER BY [[heart shaped object]].

* WHAT? A DIFFERENT AU?

* …

* [[#%!*]]!!

[ * There’s a slew of what must be censored curse words, before the phone hangs up with a click.]

[ *Whoever was on the other end sure hung up in a hurry. ]

(OOC again… Sorry I just had to see what would happen. My hyper-fixation over these two is all consuming. Take care!)

[ * Tenna jumped when he heard the phone ring. ]

[ * He laughed a little while picking up the phone. ]

[ * He was about to say hi, but the voice on the other side...it sounded like... ]

[ * No...no no no- it couldn't be- he didn't speak like that. His phrases weren't interrupted and completed like that. ]

[ * But when that didn't happen...that voice was... ]

[ * "I WANTED TO [[apology accepted]]" ]

[ * Tenna's nose disappeared, then his mouth. ]

[ * He wanted to say something- anything- but there was something holding him back. ]

[ * Was that really him? Was this a cruel prank? ]

[ * "WHAT'S THAT? [[wrong number!!!]]?" ]

* ...wha-?

[ * "SURE IT IS! I KNOW THAT [[CRT]]'S NUMBER BY [[heart shaped object]]." ]

* ...

* No- wait-

[ * The one on the other end seemed like they were about to hung up. ]

* NO- WAIT WAIT-

* SPA-

[ * They hung up. ]

* ...

[ * Tenna's screen went black. The hand holding the phone seemed shaky. ]

[ * Suddenly he dropped the phone and bolted backstage. ]

[ * He ignored his worried employees and hurried to his dressing room. ]

[ * When he arrived, he immediately went to the phone on his desk. He dialed his number. He prayed for an answer. ]

[ * But nobody picked up. ]

//OOC: first Spamton interaction, let's goooooo- I've been waiting for this honestly LMAO! Tenna forgetting about AUs the moment he hears his voice, my beloved-

//OOC: tagging this with the #-📺-LATE-NIGHT-SHOW even if it's not the 'canon' Spamton. I think this interaction can be quite important anyway.

What was it like when asriel was born?

* I wasn't watched much when he was born, which was a bit sad.

* But babies need a lot of attention, so it was understandable!

* Even after he fell asleep, they wouldn't really watch me that much, but it made sense, they were EXHAUSTED!!

* Little Asriel really put them to the test, haha!

[mr-ant-tennas-ask-blog]

" Hello, fellow TV, I've got a question! How do you, perse se, stop getting ANNOYING PLANTS in your systems if you're stuck in one spot that coincidentally has a ton of plants around you? My mistake if this is random, I just want advice from a fellow CRT such as yourself! "

@ask-omega-mike

[ * Tenna seemed to be particularly happy to see someone like him . ]

* I mostly deal with dust. I swear I had a SPIDER on me once, but never plants.

* So I don't really know what to say.

* If you mean they're directly growing from INSIDE your system, wouldn't that mean you have SEEDS in there?

* And if that's the case, they'd need WATER to grow...

* ...

* Are you ok?

- A dusty piece of lined writing paper lay untouched over the ground.

"It's been so quiet recently, since that visitor came through some people have st-pp-d show--g up, me-ning the sn-w is lef- to g--her out---e. My ---dow --ll be cov--ed so--, I -onder ho- I'll be a-le to -et groce---s.. my st-mac- is --arting to hu-t. I h-pe --is r-ach-s someone. --ybe a n--ghbor. C-- ----- "

- There's a huge tear in the paper at the bottom, the edges still rough. New words begin but are cut off by the rip. There are blotches of ink covering some of the words, you find it hard to read.

[ * When Tenna saw the ripped paper and the covered words, he decided to not read it out loud. It seemed important. ]

[ * He quickly went backstage, handed the letter to his staff and told them to look at it. He was able to make out some words, but he still had a show to run and the letter seemed to be too important to dismiss. They'll tell him about it after the show. ]

[ * He quickly got back on stage. ]

[mr-ant-tennas-ask-blog]

[ * Kit hapily clung to the showhost as much as his arms could reach! Tenna's size definitely made hugging a different experience. Kit felt himself lift off of the floor as Tenna hugged him tightly, and just snug enough for wiggle room ] YAY THANK YOU !!!! 🐾💕

[mr-ant-tennas-ask-blog]

TENNA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

🧀.-* hai hai =3

🧀 .-* I don't know if this will reach, but I just wanted to ask...

🧀.-* What's one of your favorite memories with Noelle?

🧀.-* I always thought that they should decorate you, too =]

🧀.-* (And you would TOTALLY ROCK a Christmas Star on your tie)

.-* Signed, Chee, Creature of the sea(-saw) 🧀

* She REALLY enjoyed the Christmas specials!!

* When she was little and her family came over for Christmas, she always jumped in excitement whenever I broadcast them!!

* Sometimes they'd need to tell her to back off the screen or she would hurt her eyes because of how close she was.

* One time her sister-

[ * Tenna slapped his right hand over his mouth. ]

[ * His screen turned black and he suddenly became very fidgety. ]

* ...

* Sorry...

[mr-ant-tennas-ask-blog]

You got petted 🫵🏼

[ * Tenna sat down while they pet him. ]

[ * His screen seemed to blush a little. ]

[mr-ant-tennas-ask-blog]

*Hands Tenna a shiny trinket and scuttles away in a centipede-like fashion*

[ * Tenna seems really intrigued in the little trinket! ]

[ * He was about to thank you, but was really confused about the way you went away. ]

[mr-ant-tennas-ask-blog]

Hello there, Mr. Tenna! How are you today?

(@the-sunniest-of-moons)

[mr-ant-tennas-ask-blog]

You got something against being glooby? must I always be groovy?

[mr-ant-tennas-ask-blog]

Wait so would it make YOU happy if somebody kissed you??

- The tv kisser from the previous ask

* Well, my screen contains lead in the Dark World as well, but it doesn't seem like it does anything to other Darkners, so I guess it's safe here.

* ...

* Ok- maybe a little kiss would make my day-

//OOC: more like his entire month- I love this pathetic wet cat of a CRT-

[mr-ant-tennas-ask-blog]

(this is a letter)

monsieur tv time

i based an outfit off you

(//ooc, pretend thats a mirror selfie , i just didnt want to actually draw myself)

do you approve, sir tetanus?

~🐍 (ill be here again one day *deviously rubs hands together lolz* >:) )

* Wait- 'tetanus'?

* I'm pretty sure that's what you'd get if you were to shake my hand after not getting proper maintenance-

* ...

[ * Tenna seemed to get lost in thoughts for a moment. ]

* I'm still getting used to these metal arms. Hopefully I'll go back to the old ones soon...

[mr-ant-tennas-ask-blog]

Hi Tenna I just wanted show you this art I drew of you! It’s of you and a dude I think you would like, he also loves to entertain: Caine!

[ * Tenna looked carefully at the drawing. ]

[mr-ant-tennas-ask-blog]

The cloaked figure gave a smile, shrugging as he responded.

"The voice from above method doesn't work as well, it seems. I'm not looking to scare anybody off, you see. I may be a monster of the mind, but I am not here for fear. I am like most else. I am here to watch."

[ * Tenna's screen seemed like it was finally back to normal!- well, almost. ]

[ * As much as he loved his live audience, the way they met was making it hard to relax knowing they were watching him in person. ]

[ * Not that the idea of them watching him from home was any better, but still. ]
