i think we're really quick to gloss over the implications of tenna having electro shock therapy in his life. of course, i realize that tricky tony probably just included it to be funny, but in practice ECT is used to treat a lot of different brain-related issues. practitioners use medically controlled seizures to treat things like bipolar, mania, major depressive disorder, some psychotic disorders and other brain conditions like catatonia. it's also done on a consistent schedule, about two or three times a week depending on patient conditions. however, because of how ECT works, its only used when literally anything else fails. medication? cognitive behavioral therapy? other treatment methods? ECT is a last result because scientists dont exactly know why it works so well and it comes with some minor risks to patient health. however, those risks aside, ECT is very good at fixing problems in the brain for some reason.

knowing this, what was the thing that FUCKED him UP so HARD that he started using ECT?????? i'm sure it's probably whatever depression the guy has developed from being a man child caught in the middle of a nasty divorce and also spamton but like which thing did him in?????? and how long as he been doing ECT??? more importantly, is it or is it not working?! i think its scarier to conclude that it has worked and that the version of tenna we see now is him with effective treatment because it implies a version of himself and his mental health that is ASTRONOMICALLY WORSE. how fucking bad was his attachment issues when working with spamton??? his depression???? HOW FAR GONE WAS HE, TOBY FOX????

okay so we all know the genre of fanfic within the tenna/reader space where you find or are given tenna and you find out that he's like alive, yeah? usually the reader-insert in these are pretty normal. im not complaining about this at all but i think people are missing the opportunity to have the reader-insert be a film freak. like imagine you have this whole collection of physical media but with nothing to play it on. of COURSE you go out onto deltarune craigslist or whatever, find a crt, bring it home, and boom you just created the easiest set-up for a plot ever. knowing tenna, he'd probably be over-the-moon to be with someone who isnt using a streaming platform, watching the greats "as they were supposed to be seen". plus it means a more consistent flow of attention on him and someone to discuss all these movies with. its a win-win.

i feel like we all forgot very quickly that tenna isn't just the tv host guy, he also made a romhack of the shadow mantle game and quite successfully at that. give this man a wii and the homebrew channel now

sort of relating to the last post i made, i do think that the most likely console that the dreemurrs had when kris and asriel were growing up was a wii. of course this is only a headcanon, but not only does it just feel right considering the implied ages of the fun gang + asriel, but thanks to wii virtual console, it also would've meant that tenna had plenty of inspiration to work with when it came to creating the legend of tenna in chapter 3 (on top of him already romming the shadow mantle game). this is also kinda supported by the fact that deltarune has an in-world equivalent to super smash bros, so it meant that the dreemurs either had melee or brawl, both being titles playable on wii.

oh tenna, the suibaiter that you are, im so glad you're a toby fox original character because where the hell would we be getting all that sweet, sweet toxic yaoi from outside of spamton.........

ive decided im not done talking about mettatenna so here's another thing i like to think about a lot with them that has most definitely been done with at least 30 morbillion other mettatenna fics and whatnot.

i can't always help but think about deltarune's mettaton much like noel from ride the cyclone. a closeted queer guy with a lot of aspirations that they can't really reach, but aspirations they've thought about very, VERY much. a hooker with a heart of black charcoal. a robotic pop star with an over-the-top design. a queer character who wants more than what they're given and LIVE the ✨fantasy ✨.

i cant help but imagine the brief moments alone that mettaton has living in hometown where he feels safe enough to let loose and embody that ✨fantasy ✨ for however long he can grasp it. he's definitely that subspecies of gayboy that has memorized a lot of choreo in his free time and utterly worships his idols. when that pussy-slay music comes up on his playlist, and he knows hes alone, he can't help but nail everything about it, both song and dance. he's up late at night watching the music video for bad romance for hours just studying each and every frame of that shit until eventually he knows it like the back of his hand.

and yet theres an undeniable insecurity about him that makes him so, so shy to ever truly go there. and probably gender dysphoria but same difference.

of course this all changes with tenna because mettaton's so objectum. he feels so much more comfortable around him without even knowing that tenna is there. and when tenna sees that light inside of him shine through, when a salacious music video pops up and nobody else is there in the house, tenna just can't help but watch and be completely enamored. he has the makings of a showman right THERE, he just needs a little spotlight and confidence to get there.

tenna wishes he could help him. if only the light world weren't so.. light, yknow?

i have a genuine headcanon that whatever tenna showed mettaton on the tv was most definitely something either involving britney spears or lady gaga. i feel more strongly that its some kind of britney spears music video or a rerun of one of her award show performances, but one that sticks out particularly to me is this one specifically

because like any good closeted queer man who does drag on the side, his heart was most definitely touched by this diva at some point in his life. or at the very least by some equivalent pop star within the tobyverse. also britney spears is infamous for having very, VERY salacious music videos, so who else could it have REALLY been
