#tep asks

Stop looking at me with your big beautiful twink eyes man

"Ooooooooooo, I bet that felt tingly for the both of us~!"

I like to think he tastes like pop rocks/popping candy.

AH! Thank yooouuuu! I'm always happy to talk about TEP :D I really need to get back to writing for it but that goes for all of my AUs lol. I keep jumping between them.

Celestinoooooo my precious, he really is a lot of fun! Cute wholesome bot who only wants what's best for you, he's a big ol sweetheart. He does seem to be the favorite among readers lol.

And it's not a weird ask at all! It's an interesting scenario.

Celestino would be ecstatic to getting to meet a pair of genuine aliens and jump to the opportunity to offer a helping hand in whatever way he can. He may not be an original Sun AI but he still has this caretaker side to him, combined with his positive attitude towards most things. He'd be endlessly curious about them.

Apollo would naturally be very wary and suspicious, mostly because he won't know what they're capable of - for all he knows they're really really dangerous and what with how protective Apollo is of his family, it will be a while before he'll allow himself to be more relaxed around them. He won't be outright hostile towards them though, unless they do something he perceives as a threat. And despite all of that, he'll be curious too, he's been around for so long already but this is completely new to him. He just won't be as obvious about it as Celestino XD

As for the alien!boys... they'd react much like how they reacted in the first chapter of Dark Matter: very very scared. But once it becomes clear that no harm will come to them and that they're safe (for the moment), they'll open up more. Sun in particular will be very intrigued: between the two of them he's the tech-savvy one, they don't have walking talking smart robots back on their home world so animatronics like Apollo and Celestino are mindblowing to him and he'll be very very eager to learn everything he can about them.

Lucas doesn't have a shine bc they aren't actually human (or like an animal ig) and its a way to show that they're different and weird idk

They've been through so much, the poor baby bois

👀!

Okay, so.

Celestino... certainly has moves. Nothing fancy, certainly nothing on a professional level but put on a catchy beat and he'll definitely swing along... and draw Reader into it. He can be very convincing.

Mr. and Mrs. Hirata had their romantic dance moments too, it was something they loved but after Mr. Hirata's passing... Celestino stepped in on occasion, helping her relive fond memories on music the couple used to listen to.

Apollo does not dance and has little to no experience unless you count those rare moments he danced with toddlers during his time at the Plex. After the Plex shut down though, he's never had an opportunity nor a reason to dance. His new... occupation/way of living had no use for trivial things like dancing.

As mentioned, Celestino is very convincing but so far he hasn't been able to convince Apollo, even though it would definitely be good for him to loosen up a little and relax but until he learns to let go of his past more it's unlikely to happen. (this bot desperately needs therapy).

For the Cirque des Célestes boys...

Sun is full of hyper chaotic energy and will definitely break things if the room is too small. Watch him dance to memes too without shame, because he will.

Moon is very very shy and would need convincing, but wouldn't be opposed to random silly dancing with friends during a party or some other get-together, so long as he's not put in the spotlight. It's different being on stage or when interacting with fans, but when in a more private setting, among friends and colleagues, he's uncomfortable having a lot of eyes on him. But in the right setting it's something he'll certainly enjoy doing.
