Im kind of baffled at how people will consistently portray Tenna as using his physical size and strength to intimidate people, considering in canon he makes an effort to be smaller at every turn, especially when he’s begging for things.
Like. When he’s begging for everyone to stay he lowers his height to their level. He reaches out but never grabs. He shakes his own head but never anyone else’s. When “Mike” yells at him he turns away. When Spade laughs at him he shakes his own head again. He doesn’t force any of his employees or friends to stay. He doesn’t even physically stop them when they’re stealing his stuff. Even the way he traps the lighteners during doomboard is by putting them in individual toy balls. He says please so so ofgten.
I feel like in general too much Tenna characterization is like. People thinking about how someone with his problems “ought to” act, without any real consideration of how he actually acts in the game. Like have fun obv! It’s ok to make him ooc, but also. a lot of it sometimes comes off to me as people taking a very non-stereotypical depiction of a mentally ill person, and giving him all the negative stereotypes he was deliberately Not given in the game.
Hiiiiii koffee im adding your tags bc yeah. Yeah
