Caught The Tenna Bug

I thought it was appropriate to finish this old idea I had back in December due to… nothing in particular, obviously

You get this dialogue if:

You've defeated Pink

You got the egg

You got hit by Red Friend

Alright!!! IT'S HAPPENING! FINALLY! LIP BALMS!!!!! AHHHHH

The long-awaited UTDR lip balms will finally be available for sale in my shop: Setting a drop time of 12:00pm PT on Thursay, 7/9. Thank you all for waiting so patiently. :)

Battat pins will be available too, as he happened to arrive right as I was finishing the lip balms. You can purchase a mold spore with your balm(s) if you so desire.

but ofc the reason kris isnt communicating and is drawing themself back is bc theyre in the Hell Situation and betraying everyone around them and think theyre doomed to die or worse and so on. the way kris shows love is through distancing themself from everyone around them, bc they think they can only hurt people by getting close to them. kris almost certainly started this whole thing planning to never befriend susie and never reconnect with noelle and just cleanly get the plan over with and then die in a ditch and be forgotten forever. the fact they want more than that, now, is Hurting Them Badly.

bc they are a stupid teenager trapped in the torment nexus they are not handling this with open communication and expression of their needs. instead, they keep turning away and hiding and hoping so, so bad that someone catches them. but because susie is a good friend and because susie is scared to demand more than she has been offered, and because noelle is a good friend and because noelle is scared to break something fragile and already half-broken, no one is pushing them the way they want to be pushed. kris is so, so loved, and if they reached out, they would be helped. but they can't reach out, and no one knows to reach for them.

° He is older than Doof (to my knowledge from what i recall P&F lore is really timeline inconsistent). He has to be at LEAST 50 years old given that he is a CRT TV. He's likely closer to 70.

° He is canonically both divorced and also a child of divorce and has a buttfuck load of trauma from both events

° He has fangs.

° He is literally doomed by prophecy. Like the Deltarune version of the Bible straight up says he's supposed to fucking die lmfao.

° He does stupid little autistic ass dances (im autistic and he dances like me)

° He probably has BPD and his abandonment issues are so bad he nearly committed multiple homicide over them

° He canonically shrinks to roughly the size of a soccer ball when he is sad

° His divorced ex is Spamton G. Spamton, another Tumblr Sexyman. They used to be partners and they share leitmotifs. They also have a literal daughter.

° Tenna is the one canonically responsible for cracking the egg of Mettaton in the Deltarune universe.

° He can do a perfect 180 mid-air split.

° He has a pronounced lisp.

° He was so torn up about falling out with his partner that he tore down every poster of them together and keeps his dressing room sealed behind a wall.

° He grows a flower out of the tip of his nose when he's happy.

° He was originally supposed to look more like an Ant and had four arms

° He is CANONICALLY into petplay and begs IN-GAME to be walked on a leash like a dog.
