Summary
“No. Kris, I- I know you. I’ve known you for so, so long. You still love TV. You still need TV. You… you still need me.”
A snarl slowly stretches across Tenna’s screen. It’s toothy, all straight teeth and pulled back lips.
His hand twitches. His voice drips with raw, vitriolic hatred as he murmurs, so low it is barely heard over the static emitting from every part of him:
“It’s just this thing.”

Summary
An adult, he was right, but he’s never seen the man around school before. There isn’t a specific way the adults at his school dress, but the man’s clothes just… stick out, in a way that would make Morty stare if he saw him in public.
What sticks out even more is the mans long blue hair. Morty’s never seen someone with colorful hair in person; on TV, yes, but not often, since Dad thinks that kind of thing is a bad influence on Morty and Sissy. He’ll change the channel or turn off the movie if he sees it.
“Well, i-if you’re sure, then I’ll believe you,” The man says. He pushes some shrubbery back so he can sit next to Morty, kicking his legs out straight and putting a fast food bag between them. “So, y-you hungry?

Summary
“Jeez, okay!” Morty bites down a laugh, pushing Rick away by the chest. “Get out of my face, y-you’re gross.”
“That hurts, Morty,” Rick drones, leaning forward once more to spread the jelly along the ends of the wound. He doesn’t get as close, though, so Morty doesn’t push him back. “I-I’m hurt, I’m wounded. You think-- you think Grandpa’s gross?”
“Yeah.”
“Fuck you,” Rick pinches Morty’s wounded side, which makes him hiss through his teeth. “F-fuck you, a-a-and fuck your stupid injuries.”
“I only have the one,” Morty says, curious and corrective all at once.

Summary
“You were the first contact listed on his file,” the lady on the other end says with dwindling conviction, “If you are unable to come get him, we can--”
Rick makes a loud, exaggerated groan, cutting her off, “No, I-I’m on my way now. G-give me five.”
He hangs up before she can respond, kicking himself out of his chair and up to his room to put on some pants.
God damn it.

Summary
“…so, is this place, uh--”
“Stop asking questions, M--Morty,” Rick cuts him off with a low growl, “j--just take--take it all in, Morty. Enjoy the moment, o--or something.”
Morty listens. He finds he’s good at that.

Summary
Part machine, part bug, all TV-riffic talent. Such were the three ingredients that made Mr. Ant Tenna the marvelous piece of work that he was.
Granted, he tended to keep the bug part of that equation on the down-low. Bugs were a niche interest. Most viewers got a bit squicked out and put off when the host sprouted a second pair of arms, or when his smile housed a pair of twitchy mandibles. He could get away with his antennas, his namesakes, because they were part of the brand, but there were times where even that was pushing it.
He had Kris, as was the case with many facets of his being, to thank for his insectoid traits. The kid was a fan of creepy crawlies. But when it came down to it, the ratings didn’t lie. So he kept those bits of him tucked away.
It was fine, really.
No skin off this cathode’s chassis.
