Recently saw a great post about how a good romantic dynamic would also have appeal as a platonic one; you would be able to describe the dynamic without mentioning their attraction to each other and it would still be interesting.
This is why Spamtenna is so great. Two lonely people (who are probably autistic) finally finding someone who is like them, who understands them, and bonding for life would be interesting as a platonic dynamic too. They just happened to also be attracted to each other, so they're partners.
But I would go even further and say that them being specifically a romantic pair actually adds an interesting layer to their story.
This is something that the "divorce" and "toxic yaoi" fanon misses, but the thing that destroyed their relationship didn't come from within the relationship itself. They were compatible (intentionally similar characters and all), they were happy together, and neither wanted the separation to happen.
Spamton was - and still is - deeply attached to Tenna, and he was devoted to the point of being self-sacrificial, willing to risk the thing his career hinged on for even the possibility that he might be able to help Tenna. And then his Valentine's card doesn't even bring up that huge sacrifice. The question he asks is "why did you change your number? I thought we had something!!!", and considering SNEO's Weird Route lines about screaming into the receiver until you realize you're all alone and the reference to screaming "It hurts! It hurts!" in the engraved wedding ring description (with the "it hurts" part linking to the "damn you Tenna" page), he tried to call Tenna repeatedly. Him running away after the phone call Tenna described was a panic response, and he fully intended to come back (if that was possible). He desperately wanted to come back, but thought he had been discarded.
Considering the misery apparent in Tenna after he saw that the mailroom is empty, and the way he still keeps the posters and the phone in the Z-Rank room, still keeps the pipis, still wears his half of their matching outfits, and just can't stop talking about Spamton after a decade, even as he's in deep denial about everything that happened, including his own feelings about it, he clearly didn't want Spamton to leave either. He desperately wanted Spamton back and still wants him back. Thus, it doesn't make sense for him to have changed his number like that.
Someone else, someone more powerful than them, wanted that relationship gone and forcefully separated them. Spamton was then tortured with his puppet transformation, and Tenna was effectively sentenced to death by the prophecy.
While forbidden friendships do exist sometimes, forbidden love has a much stronger presence in both fiction and real life. Queer love has historically been forbidden and punished, and that punishment could be as severe as death.
Spamtenna is both queer on a literal level, since both Spamton and Tenna are men, and queer on an allegorical level through being a story of forbidden love, even if the literal in-universe reason for why they're not "supposed" to be together has nothing to do with both of them being men.
There's a couple different theories about what Spamton's deal with the voice on the phone was, and currently I'm inclined to believe they were giving him advice - or, more accurately, directions. We know Spamton was on the phone a lot, and if the voice was telling him what to do, it would make sense why that would be the case. There's also the parallels between Spamton and Kris, and Kris is currently following the directions of a mysterious person on the phone. (If his benefactor was giving him directions, it would also to some extent give him a parallel to Mettaton, who was directed by Alphys to pretend to be a killer robot.)
But another reason I like this theory is because there's an interesting way it can tie into Spamton's relationship with Tenna.
Remember how Tenna said he gave Spamton life advice? Some of that advice probably had to do with work, in which case, he would've been directly stepping on the benefactor's turf, their sphere of influence.
And I can see there being a key distinction between the way the benefactor and Tenna approached helping Spamton, where the benefactor just told him exactly what to do and kept him dependent on their support (perhaps that dependence was the tradeoff for their help), while Tenna was trying to teach Spamton how to do things, teaching him the underlying skills required to act on his own, which could eventually reduce his dependence on the phone, and that could be one of the reasons the benefactor didn't like Spamton and Tenna's relationship. Spamton isn't supposed to be self-sufficient, to be able to succeed on his own, and he's supposed to be firmly under their influence, and Tenna's involvement challenged this.
"Give a man a fish vs. teach a man to fish" type situation, in which the person conditionally giving the man fish didn't appreciate it when someone started teaching the man to fish.
It could also be part of the reason for the puppet transformation. Along with preventing Spamton from sharing information he's not supposed to share, it also cancels out any skills he may have learned by making him look and sound off-putting and untrustworthy to others in a way he can't "fix" or compensate for, once again dooming him to failure and "putting him back in his place" as an embodiment spam emails, something that's meant to fail.

omgggg they're finally done!!!! (i say that like it's been a long time. it's only been a week. an intense one though! total time taken: 12.5 hours for tenna, 5 hours for spamton (excluding the code editing))
tysm for all the support in anticipation of these guys!!
(about a third of all my followers are here because of spamtenna shimejis. i guess im a spamtenna artist now??? )
NOTES:
there could be offsets between shimejis and windows they're interacting with, this is normal and asfaik there's no easy fix for that. scaling the shimejis affects these offsets as well
i usually have them at 2x scale to see the sprites better, especially for the petting action
they keep getting stuck on top of the screen as well as treating the bottom of it as the bottom side of a window. im not sure how to fix this
to make them interact with windows, go to settings > interactive windows and add the desired windows to the whitelist, one per line (you can make all windows interactive by adding a, i, o, u, e to the whitelist, one per line. also, add bongocat to to the blacklist as it messes with things. alternatively, leave the whitelist empty and only use the blacklist)
hugs are toggleable! to toggle them off, right-click the shimejis, go to allowed behoviors and uncheck "hunt" and "runaffordance"
MAKE SURE TO WATCH THE FAQ VIDEO IF YOU'RE RUNNING INTO ANY ISSUES. i do not maintain these and cannot help you! you can ask for help in Kilkakon's discord server :]
POSSIBLE FUTURE UPDATES:
make them kith
add tenna's happy flower pose & make it randomly appear after hugs / kisses
make them sit together / fall asleep on each other
FEED THEM. make tenna slurp up nectar
if i really wanna suffer, i might make spamton sit on tenna's head
for even more suffering, make an outfit change for spamton (big shot ver)
random secrets hehe! :]
uhhh make them dance?? i looked at tenna's sprites and like 50% of them is him dancing. this gotta mean something
don't expect anything tho! with how productive i've been, im surprised i haven't hit a huge burnout yet

Beyond Repair is THE fic that got me into Spamtenna, and actually got me to meet people in a domino effect ?!? Plus the writing is sooo good, I needed to make something nice for it before it's finished (for once I'm happy a chapter hasn't released yet).
LIKE PLZ READ IT ITS BY @manofthepipis
I tried to think of a composition for so long, but when chapter 17 came out, I loved the poster fixing scene so much I knew this was the thing I needed.
I won't yap too much, but also, close ups below yay !
The way the shards almost made me stop drawing for good, like they gave me headacheeeees uuuuuuuh... They turned out good in the end so yay.
