How are Tenna and Spamton planning to deal with Button when she enters her rebellious teenage years?
Just like any parent…one day at a time lol. She is itching to branch out and be her own person, especially once she can finally fly. She’s also eager to find and explore a love of her own like they had (kinda tough when Darkners her age are a bit more rare).
It’s easier for Spam to let her go off and do her own thing…..Tenna not so much. It’s always been a struggle for him to not shove his nose into everything she does, but he’s been getting better over the years (slowly). Once he becomes a staple in Toriel’s classroom again, she’ll sometimes make cameo appearances on his show for an arts & crafts segment.
Her temper starts to show a bit more as she grows up too but overall she’s still very kindhearted, generous and loves her family dearly.
Are you still into final space? I miss your fanart for it so much. I understand if not though. I was wondering if you are planning to read the graphic novel? :) Anyway, all your art is gorgeous. You've always been one of my favorite artist even past final space ☺️
Still love Final Space, just not actively making content for it right now.
However, I preordered the graphic novel 3 years ago and am very excited to get my copy eventually! I’ve been avoiding spoilers the entire production on the novel so I can go in blind. Might need to rewatch the series to freshen up too since it’s been on my mind again recently but years since I’ve watched it.
I’m so happy to hear that you’ve enjoyed all my art all these years. Final Space really started it all for me❤️💫
Maybe something with iron giant au Tenna and Kris, like the deer scene?
I’m not posting it here yet bc it’s a work in progress but I’ve been writing a comic for the deer scene for some time. It’s going to be a separate post so get ready I have so many thoughts about how it would go in this AU
What if Button had been old enough to see Spamton and Tenna's separation? How would she react to reuniting to her father after he's been turned into a puppet?
This is such an insanely good question I really had to think about it (buckle up).
If Button had hatched and been mostly raised by a single Tenna for just over a decade after Spam left….
I think she’d hold a certain hope in her heart deep, deep down that he’d come back someday. I think that’d even up to the very day he came back…she’d be trying to find him again and she definitely would recognize him straight away, unlike Tenna. She spends a lot of time out in the purple cliffs, testing the borders of TV world trying to find him.
The memories she’d have of Spamton would be distant and faded since Tenna would most likely hide or destroy any evidence of him after he left (at least the best he could….I have a feeling the Z room would be completely redone to be hers…but she can still feel his presence there). What she remembers is that Spam loved her…the memories are good ones. I’m of the opinion that Spam would actually be a decent caretaker and it’s the fear of his benefactor and all the other nonsense that clouded his judgement in other areas. She was born out of their genuine love and partnership, one of the few acts of freedom Spam took a chance on and that he was super proud of.
She’d probably hold resentment of course, normal for being raised by a bitter and guilty single father who had a grudge against his ex-partner…but she also knew of the contract that cornered Spam into leaving that was made by Tenna, but was too young to process what it all meant. Tenna talks in his sleep…..a lot….and she’s a very sharp listener.
Her usual inherent spark in the Couples Therapy AU would be dimmed a little, hiding under the weight of all the secrets and emotions she’s tucked away in a place where everyone is just pretending to be okay, but Tenna still did raise her with the utmost love and care he could manage, and even more overprotectiveness than usual. She’d be the equivalent of 17ish and still not able to fly (Tenna wouldn’t ever say it out loud but he was terrified she’d leave too).
When Spamton is back, I think she’d embrace him at first, questions later. That’s just her core personality and who she is. She doesn’t question where he’s been or why he left or why he did what he did…mostly because she already has a strong idea why.
His appearance though would initially be seriously off putting to her. She had always hoped that Spam could teach her to fly when he returned since it was something he always promised to do when he was around her as a baby. Those dreams are dashed instantly when she sees him and she’s never had contact with anyone in Cyber City since she was an infant so the part of her that is an Addison feels completely hollow. She’s a bit too much like Tenna in that regard, an over dependence on nostalgia to get through the day to day. Something in her breaks, for she’s very patient and thought she’d be rewarded once he returned and if she just kept smiling and being positive, only for her own dreams to be dashed along with him. There’s sympathy for his situation, but also a bit of “selfish” rage that finally starts to boil over as she finds herself feeling like she’ll never get off the ground and be her own person, just a remnant of a broken relationship.
I will definitely be thinking more about this scenario this is such an interesting exercise for her character I like it it hurts:’}
Has Tenna and Spamton ever thought about bringing another child for Button to play with? Like what does she think of having a brother or sister? Would she be lonely without a sibling?
They haven’t really considered another kid no. Button was already enough of a miracle for them and they want to focus solely on giving her the best life possible. They’re much older now, are in the middle of healing and reconnecting after over a decade apart, and she’s already hard enough to keep up with. That’s a lot of energy for them to handle!!⚡️
However, that doesn’t mean Button is lonely! Lancer, Susie and Kris are like big siblings to her especially and they are around her all the time. Ralsei is also very close with her. She may not have a whole lot of Darkners her age around, but she’s surrounded by a loving community and family through the Addisons, Queen and other Darkners in Castle Town helping to pitch in and raise the youngest resident in town💜
If you’re still open for requests, may we see Tenna being the tickle monster to Button like she’s running away but he’s chasing her playfully and he caught her? I wanted to see some more adorable daughter and father moments 💖
The King has fallen. How sad. No one could have foreseen such an act of cruel, senseless violence…
For the Tenna requests if you are still taking them! Maybe a doodle of Button spending father-daughter time with Tenna? Pretty please with a cherry on top?
Tenna spending time with lil Kris? Maybe playing games together!

He 100% would mod games for Kris so that they got to experience the hard to find “secret bonus rooms” easier bc they were too hard for them to find when Asriel wasn’t there to help🍎🍌
