Something about Impostor White x Crewmate Green deeply fascinates me. So, I made art about it!

Based White's Impostor design on the bristle worms that lives in the ocean. Idk, it just felt like it made total sense between them owning a yacht and Green being a worm kisser.

In fact, I imagine White and Green clashing quite a bit intially. Being the certified capitalist they are, White's goals align most with what is the corporate status quo. And, no matter how much Green may complain about it, killing Crewmates so early into an already delayed trip is counterintuitive. Plus, it would inconvenience White, which is of course a crime within itself.

But, as their favorite future wage slave, White will gladly give Green all the heads up they need.

Alas, even billionaires have to put in a bit of effort sometimes.

Okay, while White being the first to die is unbelievably hilarious, imagine a world where they didn't. In fact, what if White purposely crashed the ship? What if it's all according to the big corpo MIRA's plan.

Tenna: actually feeling decently good about himself for once

Kris in Tenna's head: You know, if there was ever a house fire they'd leave you there to BURN.

Tenna: ^[

“I’m just trying to occupy the body I was born in”🎶

Aka, that one AU I’ve been yapping about without yapping fully about it for who knows how long. Honestly just boils down to a single change that makes all the difference. Not sure if any of y’all are aware, but CRTs are extremely heavy objects. And, back when they were popular, unsupervised kids getting crushed and killed by the family TV was a real concern. So, what if one applied that to Deltarune and had Kris die long before the prophecy could ever be fulfilled?

Warning for: Child Death (of course) and Some Self Harm on Tenna’s part.

Short answer, a hell of a lot. But, rather than dump it all at once, I’ll start with my favorite goober who I love to torture most. Former TV host, Mr Ant Tenna himself! It all happened before the contract which would have led to Spamton’s puppetfication. On a stormy night when Asriel was out the house, and neither parents were supervising, Kris would come to a grisly demise. However, unwilling to leave this life behind, their soul would attach to the closest object it could, the family CRT.

Devastated and horrified at killing Kris and, essentially leading to, the entire breakdown of the Dreemur family much sooner, Tenna up and flees from the studio never to be seen again. The TV is removed from the house, and only through a series of not so unfortunate events, he avoided the dump and instead ended up deep in the storage unit along with all of Kris’ now useless items. The toys, the bed, everything that Kris once touched or once closely associated with would be scrubbed from the Dreemur’s house. As for Kris, simply a silent spectator not unlike an actual Darkner, they grew to despair and unintentionally tamper with Tenna’s own psyche as it truly did seem like the family they held so dear would rather pretend they never existed at all. Manifesting in nightmares and paranormal activity (most commonly the TV turning on and broadcasting without power), it would drive the TV host to ripping out his old antennas in an attempt to stop the endless stream of news regarding the tragedy.

It would be here where Tenna would, not for the last time, learn that something was horribly wrong. Not quite Darkner anymore, but nowhere near a Lightner, the TV soul duo found themselves in a grey area in which things in the Light World began to uncharacteristically mirror things in the Dark World rather than the other way around. Tearing out his own antenna left evidence in the Light World with scratches on the CRT and two useless tv prongs now laying on the ground. Sometimes what Tenna could have swarm were dreams, would lead to things around in the Light World out of placed or damaged. And that’s only the things he could remember, as these days were… rough, for the former star.

This would be far from the end though, only just the beginning really. There’s a lot more to this, and I’ll likely get into where Tenna got into the Delta Religion along with where his new antennas, including his disk antenna, came from! But I probably yapped enough. Thanks to anyone that stuck around for the ramble!

Is this anything y’all? Do you see the vision?

One has to wonder what sort of experiences a Darkner has when the object they are in the Lightner world is treated like an object. Surely they must be aware if Tenna can remember the days before everyone left. 🤔

But just wanted to throw this silly idea out there! Seeing Tenna honestly tickled a small part of my brain that reminded me of the times I used to hit and pat the old CRT tv I had as a child. Something about if it's acting up, usually a couple of knocks will get it working again. Not sure how true that was, but that's what was done.

Guys, guys, hear me out for a second, because this particular head cannon has been chewing away at me since I finished the chapter and it feels like no one else sees the potential here. 🥲

I'll try and keep it short, but don't jump me if it isn't. Blame that one hidden scene between Spamton and Tenna, cause it irrevocably changed my brain chemistry.

I feel that Tenna's memory can't be bad enough to just not remember Spamton (he remembers too much about Kris' family and the past). But his reaction was also too genuine for me to think he was being spiteful to Spamton. Also, this man was mid-crash out losing everything he held dear so having the presence of mind to get revenge on an old ex doesn't fit to me. But, what if man's just has the worse vision know to man and (obviously having not heard Spamton's new glitched voice) legitimately had no way to tell it was his old business partner? Now THAT would be interesting. Something something, adding to Tenna's themes of feeling old and outdated.

On another note, Tenna having the vision profile of a literal ant tickles me. I mean the type of vision where, if something isn't just a few inches in front of his face, he can't distinguish any particular details. He can tell different colors apart, but that's just about it!

Not sure how much sense the head cannon makes, but COME ON. Someone has to see the vision (or lack their of) right? 😭

No eyes, present (and totally completely accurate) antennas, and OLD. This man is BEGGING for me to hit him with the -5.00 diopter beam at a minimum. He probably has some glasses the doctors prescribed him but he refuses to wear after someone teased him about it on air once.

Also, minor thing, but I imagine he has a legitimate fear of rats and other small pests cause of the damage they can do by chewing on his old wires.
