Okay I need to be real for two seconds. The amount of aggression(positive) I feel when I see this pathetic (not)little man is immeasurable and I need help. I need to grab him with my teeth and whip my head around like a dog with a toy and throw him against a wall so he squeaks.
So basically Tenna is the main antagonist of Deltarune Chapter 3 and he has taken up all the real estate in my brain.
He's interesting as an antagonist because yes he is guilt trippy and wants people's eyes on him at all times and has yelled at his employees and kept Toriel locked away to keep his end of the deal with the Knight. But also he's kinda bad at being subtle about his manipulation and it's kinda pathetic. He acts like a kicked puppy and ngl I love him for it.
I am honestly so glad he's not straight up evil because evil tv/monitor head men are already pretty common(vox, the doctor, mr puzzles, etc.) Nah he's just a long forgotten CRT from a broken family that fears becomming useless and wants people to like him.
And uh not gonna lie I feel that.
But like man this guy is so goofy. So glooby. This man just wants to hear people say that they like him. He literally just wants to be acknowledged and cared about and I can't handle it I'm about to explode. He actually makes me feral send help
I Love TV I Love TV I Love TV I Love TV I Love TV I Love TV I Love TV I Love TV I Love TV I Love TV I Love TV I Love TV I Love TV I Love TV I Love TV I Love TV I Love TV I Love TV I Love TV I Love TV I Love TV I Love TV I Love TV I Love TV I Love TV I Love TV I Love TV I Love TV I Love TV I Love TV I Love TV I Love TV I Love TV I Love TV I Love TV I Love TV I Love TV I Love TV I Love TV I Love TV I Love TV I Love TV I Love TV I Love TV I Love TV
It's also just neat how even though everyone and their mother had their own ideas of what Tenna would look and act like, no one expected him to be like *THAT.*
He's delightfully over-the-top and ridiculous and he definitely plays into it a lot, it's probably one of his strongest traits I think.
Obviously not ignoring his less than good attributes, though. Like how he is a control freak, yells at his employees, goes to some drastic measures to fulfill his deal with the Knight, that whole thing.
But like, we know this guy isn't malicious. A flawed individual, definitely, but he is ultimately a good person that felt he had to do what he does in order to get his old life back. He was at the end of his rope and knew he would be thrown out otherwise. He was desperate.
In case you somehow couldn't tell, I absolutely adore this man. The amount of times I've doodled him during work is too many to count and of course I bought his official plushie.
What can I say, this thing just makes me smile and I need to make some sort of project about him but I already have like, four other projects to work on as I'm typing this, all dedicated to my other main brainrot(iykyk).
I wanna reanimate his in-game introduction in my style cuz I think it would be fun. I also wanna reanimate the Static music video with him because who hasn't done that already. Idk I wanna make something revolving around this fool. I need to see him move and talk and be dumb and silly and AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
