Hmm.. Well... Where did we even started?
Mr. (Ant) Tenna, the famaous TV host, the man who's always groovy never glooby, the BIG SHOT!!! .... Is not so much of a big shot that he used to be anymore..
He.. Turned into something simpler.
————
Kris, household was once warm and whole. Evenings were spent huddled around a small, aging CRT television. That television was Tenna. Back then, he was nothing more than a screen — but he watched. He listened. He felt. He grew to love the family that gathered before him. The children played video games on his screen and watched cartoons until their eyes sparkled.
But.. Nothing last forever. And slowly, Tenna's nightmare becomes reality. Technologies improving, and his CRT TV of a head and show is not exactly following along. Slowly, the seats around him emptied. The warmth turned to tension. Harsh whispers leaked from behind half-shut doors — the quiet wars of a crumbling marriage. The divorce wasn’t sudden. It was slow. Splintering. The joy drained from the room piece by piece, and the glow of the television was no longer a hearth but a hollow light.
And Tenna? He became a vessel for all of it — a relic that remembered. Eventually, no one turned him on anymore. Dust gathered. His screen went dark. Forgotten in a corner like an unwanted memory. It's not the same anymore, they don't watch him as they used to anymore. Tenna is getting very, very desperate. Especially when that small mailman is not around to comfort him, hold him, embrace him- UGH! What was he thingking?!...
Until.. He heard about the lightners, Kris and their two friends: Sussie the monster and Ralsei the prince of Darkners, came to the dark world. He, saw an opportunity.
.....
Anddd.. Many things happened, to keep it simple — The show went hell, it crumbles and fumbles and left no damm crum. Tenna would start spiraling further, mistreating his workers and forcing them to find the Lightners after forcing them to play his game show over and over. However, his quickly souring demeanor starts pushing everyone, even his most trusted allies away from him. Breaking their contracts and quitting. And then getting his arms cut off—
Oh yeah, he got his two mechanical arms slice apart. It was a lot.
But.. Don't worry, by the end of it all, he got fixed by Kris Ralsei and Susie!
But, this where the twist came. In the light world, Toriel saw her CRT TV screen is somewhat crack (from the impact in the Dark world). And thingking it further, instead of just throwing it away which would be Tenna nightmare... She upgarde it!
Let's say, from what was an old TV, turn into a cute land of plants inside a TV. A Terrarium! The inside of his boxy TV case head now filled with green land and a singular light bulb to light up the plants, his antennas got replaced with two lively Dionaea muscipula, his cable tail turn to vine of flowers tail — Tenna is now a plant man, which is 180 degree the opposite of what he once was, even his sense of fashion change! From red suite and yellow tie, he now wears white suit and pink apron with flower pattern in front, it's cute! And probably a lot healthier too. And back in the dark world, he starts to open up a flower shop in the cyber city.
Now.. Let's get back to the present!

Tenna is talking to a customer, just a normal chitchat here and there and maybe a little bit of flirting. From the customer, of course. But it was nothing more. Tenna just blush and brush it off, chuckling softly and still manage being a charm but not overly forcing himself to be the best like what he used to.
"Hehe.. My, you are flattering this ol' flower keeper! Are you trying to get a discount outta me, hmm?" He joke to the customer, just the usual teasing here and there between customer and shop keeper.
