Happy one year anniversary to chapters 3 & 4 of Deltarune! I thought it would be an appropriate time to redraw my first ever Tenna fanart. These drawings are almost exactly one year apart.

It's true what they say... If you ever want to improve your drawing ability rapidly just get really, really abnormal about a character.

gaster<3<gerson is an enlightened take. I’m so curious what your thoughts on the matter art

Thank you I've actually had the idea for a really long time, maybe since like 2018 or something, before Deltarune even. The idea that Gaster and Gerson (ut) used to have beef *in the surface* before the monsters got trapped underground and for some seemingly very stupid reason (disagreement over whether an object is green or yellow, something like that), and then they've hated each other for so long they *forgot why* and so it just turns into an old man friendship where they keep annoying each other for fun. And then Gaster was forgotten about. Does seem like Gerson is missing someone sitting on a rocking chair next to the counter just quipping with him while you shop.

In Deltarune, this is even more nuanced because they have the authorship theme to both of them. Like to me they feel like a fictionalized understanding of Tolkien and CS Lewis, especially the way they interface with religion in their both supposed works. Under the light of kismetic but friendly relationship even the dialogue Gerson gives you about the shadow crystal (which is implied to be something Gaster gives to their holders) after defeating him reads as a cheeky quip: "felt like someone really wanted me to use this thing. But it didn't interest me, so you can take it."

I have a lightner AU (basically a deltarune au where all the dark worlds and darkners are lightners instead and exist in the light world) where in the past before they both died/exploded they used to teach in the local university, but in different departments (History for Gerson and Physics for Gaster), but they'd get into screaming matches and shout at each other across corridors arguing about the prophecy or what it means to be a creator or about writing techniques or whether something is green or yellow. Then when they went home they'd take the bus together and would sit at the KC Diner for dinner together before going to their respective homes. Nobody at the university, faculty or student, knows why they won't simply stop talking to each other, but folks at hometown know that they're friends and that's just how their friendship is. Does everyone else fw gaster/gerson yet have I sold my fish

Tenna is a big pushover but goddamn it let him keep his barely restrained bitchy demeanor

having a brief moment of lucidity and realizing you’re involving fucking file naming conventions and variable names as crucial elements in your character analysis

In the next chapter Undyne will return from the Shelter looking like this

Thank you Bsky for lovely rp inspirations. Anyways yeah I'm like 90% sure if Zapper Mike saw this old magician going around after the Eram situation, they'd probably give them a tour, yea

@rubsjuice pulling you tags bc i like them GRINS

i also love doing specbio shit with darkners in general bc i think a large part of their innards are literally just vague Darkness and things like organs. well. appear when theyre needed and relevant. but i also like mechanical darkners being a bit more complicated. theres a lot more stuff going on in there compared to something like a game piece to keep things running

anyways all this to say YUPPPPP i love difficult patient tenna stuff so much bc it just feels so fitting for him given everything we know + what he's been through. he's a fascinating specimen especially bc of being a CRT he's literally basically like. an endangered species of some variety. he's treated like something to deal with, something to handle, like some kind of zoo animal taken to the vet. like something to observe, to watch, to pick apart

this is once again his #objectification. no harm may have been meant but it doesn't mean he wasn't still objectified during it. turned into something to poke and prod at and figure out what's going on. and he Does need the help! he Does need to Physically get fixed when he falls apart to keep him together. but he still is considered less than a person and often times even necessary pain and observation can still cause harm and lasting effects on a person. he's always watched and never seen

He's always watched and never seen!!!

I like playing with darkner biology worldbuilding from the perspective that there are Species of darkners (like ambyu-lances, addisons, pippins, ruddins, cuptains, etc) who have perfectly standarized biology for their species and then theres Special darkners who are one-of-a-kind whose biology is pretty much fantastical (Jevil doesn't need to eat, both him and Seam are immortal, Rouxls has no organs at all, etc). And Tenna's one-of-a-kind Cabinet Man makeup leaves him in the middle of the way where he doesn't have enough fantastical characteristics to not have to worry about anything health-related and not enough biological characteristics for specialists to know exactly what his body is doing.

Naturally, being sick or injured is a nightmare for Tenna! It's not just objectification (though there is a lot of it too) but it's also otherization, because he's not enough of any characteristic to belong to any "kind" of darkner. It's a very isolating experience in a situation that is very worrying! And in a check-up visit a doctor could just be looking at his numbers and go "well this isn't normal. But is it normal to you?" and he'll have to sigh and go "I don't know" and that's gonna be the end of the conversation. And then maybe the doctors start babbling about making estimates and doing tests and saying medical jargon he can barely keep up with and inviting other doctors from other rooms to take a look and discuss findings and all he wanted was just an answer to this new pain he's been feeling.

And this would certainly bleed into mental health professionals too. I think even in an environment where he has a kind and strong support system he'd be uneasy about seeking help from any professional regarding his mental health issues because he has no idea if the psychotherapist will just be the same as the other doctors and want to study his psyche instead of helping him figure out his traumas and feelings. Like no wonder the only guy he will be vulnerable in this way is the obsessive producer/personal assistant that he pays to do everything for him (love battat to death but lets be real i dont think this guy is a licensed therapist) and whose only goal in life is to make Tenna happy in the short term.

I just. AUGH! So many thoughts about the television. I'm glad you liked the tags it's been an idea i've been cooking up for a while
