#so. Is this Asriel

My best friend's favorite number is nine. It's because there isn't a number that's higher. 9. 99. 999. 9999. If everything gets high enough, You become invincible. Nothing can hurt you anymore. Nothing can hurt anyone anymore. But isn't it scary, to think there's a highest number? That, if you made 99 good memories, you couldn't hold anymore. So I don't like to keep count of the flowers we pick, or the times that they laugh, or how many scary faces they make. I just hope we'll be friends for 999 more year.

I'll be thinking about this one for a while

I wonder if Kris purposefully "emptied" their room, just so that the SOUL wouldn't find out about the things they care about. Just to prevent us being too aware of their life, of their likes, so they couldn't be used against them.

Like. We didn't even know that Kris liked playing piano and was GOOD at it, until we asked around town and confirmed it in their room in cyberworld. Because when we DID find out we started forcing them to play the piano, and they kept refusing. We knew about pianos, so Kris started thinking about them, in Ch4 we had a CHOICE to make Kris say "I'll never play piano again" and, depending on the route, they try to stop us from saying it.

It's so dangerous to let a being like us know about Kris themself - we'll weaponize it against them immediately - oh, Kris likes someone? We'll talk to them immediately. Oh, Noelle and Kris were close once? Well...

Being known is being vulnerable. And by learning more about Kris we learn more about the ways we can make them miserable - intentionally or not.

And this is something that Kris and Carol share - Carol keeps everything important at her home, where nothing can harm it, can harm HER. She controls everything, just so she can't be made vulnerable and suffer because of it. But Kris? Kris doesn't have a luxury of privacy. The demon is inside of them, so they have to build a facade of emptiness, just so they can function long enough for The Plan (tm) to work.

@ilchul00 made a post with that first image about Tenna Undertale, and it gave me an idea (also!! Destroyed Tenna design inspired by how they drew it!!)

Perhaps,,,an AU where Tenna isn’t a Darkner, but a monster in the underground. He’s the royal caretaker/nanny/babysitter for Asriel and Chara and watches them when Toriel and Asgore are busy being royalty. He also watches the kids when they go outside, plays with them, and entertains them

Well, yknow Everything Happens, the kids are gone, Toriel and Asgore get divorced, and Toriel stays in the Ruins…Tenna opts not to go with her, but he too leaves and goes to sit in the spot that he told the kids to meet him at if they ever got lost while playing. He’s in denial that they’re gone and gets the Spinel treatment of waiting forever for someone who will never return. That spot becomes a trash spot over time due to water currents and lazy monsters, and so that’s how it becomes a trash heap, while Tenna is still technically half-alive, just…waiting

Upon interacting with him, Tenna wakes up and sees Frisk and mistakes them for Chara, which makes him incredibly happy…but then quickly realizes that Frisk is not Chara.

In a Pacifist Run, Frisk would probably bring Tenna to Alphys for repairs (to which Tenna might say something about the kingdom having a new royal scientist), and help him cope with the losses of the kids he cared for. In the end of that run, he returns to live with Toriel after being fixed up and becomes Frisk’s babysitter now above the surface. Or maybe in one of the runs, he becomes a TV star alongside Mettaton because that would be fun :3

(Update: I’ve found a way to incorporate Spamton / Spamtenna in this AU here)

There is... so much to unpack here.
