A COLLABORATION BETWEEN TWO STARS

Are you sure this will boost our ratings, Spam?

Of course it will, Ten! Kids love this kind of thing

Well, I suppose it’s worth a shot- even if we are already at the highest level! Go on, show me how we do it.

Well, first we have to do an introduction…

Hi! Plenty of you know us, as seen on TV’s biggest channels…

We’re…

Spamton G. Autos

and…

Ant Tenna Vision !

Though you guys can, of course, call us Spamton and Tenna respectively, or Big Shot and Prime Time if you’re feeling fancy

Feel free to ask your favorite stars questions!

We’ll almost always give you an answer!

We respect and focus on all people here, so if you don’t- see your self out.

(If you don’t, I’ll hit you with a Cungadero.)

THEIR SMILES SEEM SO BRIGHT

[MOD NOTE: This is a roleplay/ask blog of an au where their separation never happens. It can be interpreted as Big Shot Era if you’d like.]

[I also run @sensational-tenna !]

[Enjoy!]

[bigshot-n-primetime]

consider. consider. coffee in cereal. yes or no. to clarify the coffee replaces the milk in this equation

… Why??

No, no- they have a point.

Tens??

It’s efficient!

IT’S DISGUSTING?

How would you know if you haven’t tried it?

Yeah Mr. Tenna, what WERE you going to say…?

Why that’s none of your concern, dear viewer!

Pfft.

This is your fault, Spammy!

[bigshot-n-primetime]

I made some ice cream for Mr. Autos!

Holds out a cone of pink and yellow ice cream

Mmm… strawberry and lemon! My favorite, how’d ya know?

Matches your eyes, Spammy!

It does!

[bigshot-n-primetime]

tenna what’s it like being a big tv?

It’s nice!

He’s big in other aspects too!

Spamto-

We have to order custom shoes for.

Oh.

What’d ya think I was gonna say?

You know fully well what I thought!

Says more about you than about me 8^]

[bigshot-n-primetime]

So, you guys are also [holy matrimony], yeah…?

Just wonderin’ how the proposal went [way back when]! [Which of you] asked ? and was there a [[Scenic Destination]] or some sort of [Specil Event] that inspired you?

@tvtimemailroom

Oh it’s been a while! Let me see if I can…

I don’t remember how it went!

I just remember I was the one that proposed.

We were… Aut was 18.

Vis was still 18, too!

We got married within the year!

The year’s 2000.

Tenna stares at his drink, stirring it absentmindedly. In the background, Mono Swatch prepares something. Chrome Swatch greets Spamton at the door and walks him over.

“Ah, Ema- sorry. Spamton! I thought you weren’t gonna make it.”

Spamton laughs, brushing off the near deadnaming and smiles at his boyfriend- soon to be fiancé if tonight goes well.

“Yeah, sorry about that!”

His hand twitches, he’s nervous. The Swatches would never fail him, they’d been friends for far too long.

Where they first met.

[bigshot-n-primetime]

I’m glad you two are doing better, especially you Autos.

Ah… thank you!

It has been… a lot, but… I’m working through it!

I’m here every step of the way ^)

I’ll be more open in the future, just… didn’t know how to tell Tens.

Or…

If I should have, really.

That’s okay ^)

We’re okay now !

(WAOW.... Are you really THE Mr Tenna and Mr Spamton? You guys are so cool!! There's this pretty zapper girl I wanna get the interest of, but I don't know how to do it! Do you have any advice?)

( @teen-kogal-shadowgal )

Awe, thanks kiddo!

We are a version of them!

One that’s been together for 27 years and married for 25! ^)

As for advice, just be honest with her!

If you know some things she likes, get them for her as a little gift!

We wish you luck, dear!

[tvtimemailroom]

OH WOW! We don’t see a lot of universes like ours.

Assuming this one is like ours…

Ah- I always get ahead on the assumptions ^)

How long have you and Tenna known each other?

@bigshot-n-primetime

Hey there!! Nice to finally meet another [[TV TIME!!]] pair who beat the [Horrors Beyond My Comprehension]!1! It’s nice to know me and Tens ain’t the only [Happy Ending] out there.

Hmm, as to how long we’ve known each other…? Feels like… since ⭐️forever⭐️! Let me do the math.

I think it’s been a few [dance through the decades] at least. I was 18 when I started workin’ on the show for real, so it’d have to be…

🌼Almost 30 years now!🌼

And we’ve also been married for 25 of those years!!! How romantic! 💝

Yeah, we tied the knot after [I SURVIVED Y2K!!]!

Funny enough, it sounds like you guys followed a similar timeline, haha!

[bigshot-n-primetime]

Oh wow!

It’s the same for us ^)

25 years married, I believe… 27 together!

Lovely to hear !

[bigshot-n-primetime]

Gee, it’s been a while!

Sorry we’ve been away!

Still recovering from all… that…

We’re back!

[AUTHOR NOTE: employment got my ass, but I’m back!]

[bigshot-n-primetime]

“Is… is he struggling?”

Why don’t you find him and ask him yourself if this subject is of your concern.

Though, I do sympathize with your situation, so I’ll leave you with two simple questions to help you.

Doesn’t Autos seem a bit off? After all, he has seemed a bit…one could say,…tangled up as of late…right?

-🛸🔏

[OOC: THIS CONCLUDES THE AMP SAGA! Thanks for your patience while I wrote the finale!]

He has seemed a little strange as of late…

He called AD-isons “Addisons” the other day.

And he’s… been acting closed off- I didn’t suspect anything because he acts like that sometimes!

Tangled up?

I’ll be back soon.

Tenna walked the halls silently, keeping himself focused. Spamton’s office, that’s what he needed to see. If anything was wrong, it would be there. He paused outside the door, debating if he should knock before he heard a laugh.

It was Spamton’s, but it wasn’t his Spamton’s.

“Oh Autos,” Spamton’s voice, slightly deeper, smoother. Not his Spamton’s. “Your dear Tenna has no idea what’s going on! Your fear is adorable, you know you can’t stop it.”

Tenna grimaced, but he felt the need to listen just a little longer. What good would he be if he jumped in too soon?

“I’m playing him like a fiddle and he has no clue, aha!”

…

The door slammed open, Tenna’s screen flickering as he walked up to the two. His Spamton, glasses pushed taut against his eyes- and another, a maniacal grin on his face that left as he laid his eyes on the angry CRT.

“Release him, now.” Tenna growled, using one hand to grab the unfamiliar Spamton and hold him up- watching as his wings flexed instinctively.

E squirmed in his grasp, staring up at him with a genuine fear in his eyes. Tenna’s screen went black, only showing a forced smile.

“Or I will pluck your wings one feather at a time, sending you back to your universe wishing you had never touched him.”

Tenna watched as E used his magic to loosen Autos from the wires, using his free hand to catch Autos with a sigh. He cradled his husband in one arm, squeezing the unfamiliar Spamton before letting him fall to the ground.

“You will leave this universe, and you will never return,” Tenna ordered, flicking a star across the room to open a portal to E’s home universe. “Unless you want to see what I’m really capable of.”

E nodded, scurrying off like a scared rat- sealing the portal behind him. Now alone, Tenna held Autos close to his chest as the other shivered. Taking Spamton’s glasses off and setting them on his desk, his screen finally flickering back to normal.

“I’m sorry.”

“For what? You couldn’t have stopped it, and I should’ve known something was up.”

“For everything- for not telling you how my glasses work, for not letting you know- he said he was gonna hurt you too.”

“I still don’t know how your glasses work, and you don’t have to tell me. I’m just glad that you’re okay, Spam- or that you will be.”

“I feel horrible.”

“I know you do, and I get it- I would too if it had been me- but you’re safe now. I won’t let that happen again.”

Spamton smiled, a genuine smile for the first time in a long time. He was safe, his husband was safe, their daughter was fine. E’s threats hadn’t stuck, he hadn’t managed to expose anything- but Spamton knew he had to tell them all eventually.

For now, though? He was content to rest against Tenna’s chest.

[bigshot-n-primetime]

Hello.. Autos. I would like to speak to you.

I know what’s happening, E. What you’re doing to him.

I’ve been in your shoes, in a.. similar situation. This current path doesn’t lead to anywhere beneficial. You’ll be left as empty as you were when you started with only a pyrrhic victory to your name. Let Autos go.

-One who’s walked this path.

Oh, it appears you’ve found me now too.

Now, why would I do that?

Perhaps you failed because you got too close to them, you cared too much. You went soft.

I may be you, but we are not the same.

So cryptic, aren’t you?

You can’t hurt me, you’d be hurting him too and we both know that.

I’d like to see you even try what you’re planning. We both know that you’ll fail.

“Well, the other me has found us out,” E hummed as he pulled at the wires he’d given Autos. “He seems quite protective of you, Autos- I wonder why…?”

Autos twitched, his wings fluffing up in a defensive motion. He couldn’t pull away and it hurt.

“Why, for all those glasses can do,” E laughed as he twisted the wires, watching as Autos flinched in pain, “they certainly didn’t protect you from me.”

[bigshot-n-primetime]

-

Strange… I can’t find Spamton.

I’ll answer though!

If Spammy was ever struggling, I’d go to whatever lengths were necessary!

Is… is he struggling?

I hope he’s okay…

[bigshot-n-primetime]

[bigshot-n-primetime]

I start to think both of you but like, switched.

Spamton but tv show host and Addison tenna.

It would be interesting, isn't it? Just asking.

@wandering-anon

Hm… strange sounding but it could be cool!

Yes, an Addison Tenna could be quite interesting…

Don’t you mean AD-ison?

Oh, did I say Addison? I meant AD-ison. I’m rather tired, aren’t I?

“You’re slipping up,” Autos muttered, staring anxiously at the screen as he was held in place by the other version of him.

“Sure, I am- but it’s you that they’ll think is.”

“They’ll find you out, they’ll stop you!”

“Oh, Autos,” he laughed, tilting the other’s head up with a smirk. “It’ll take a lot more than that to stop me!

[bigshot-n-primetime]

Ever heard of the LOVE stat? ;)

Sorry, I’m unfamiliar with what that means.

I am as well, is it a positive thing…?

It is the LOVE stat after all!

I certainly love you, my darling!

“For someone who preaches on honesty, you certainly like to lie.”

Autos groaned as he felt the wires tied around his wrists tighten.

“Just because we don’t exist in the world it comes from doesn’t mean you don’t know what it is, silly.”

[bigshot-n-primetime]

Heya Spam! Ya ever meet a weird purple jester?

Ah, Jevil!

Yes, I’ve met him! A version of him visited the blog a little bit ago!

He’s quite a character but he’s fun to be around!
