Chapter Text
Ms. Tellie Vision! The old black and white TV that the Dreemurr’s used to have before Tenna!
Imagine a calmer Tenna. She isn’t as dramatic or as eyecatching as him, but she is just as passionate about making her Lightner family happy and entertained. She loves her family! Especially Asgore, since he always took care of her and watched her, even when everyone else got bored with her.
I feel like she was the TV Asgore grew up with and kept. He still loves watching the old cowboy shows on her. Like when Asgore and Toriel got married, he brought the TV with him when they moved in together. Asgore wants to keep it, but Toriel probably said that they will keep it until they can afford a new one. I think she was replaced right before Kris came into the family. Once the new TV came around, Asgore still didn’t want to throw the TV out. He likely kept Tellie for a few days or weeks before Toriel told him to throw her out, since she has no purpose anymore. Instead of throwing her out however, he moved her to his shop or somewhere else in secret since idk if Asgore always had a flower shop before or when he was a police officer.
In the Darkworld,while she was still in the house, she became Tenna’s mentor, she taught him about Asgore and Toriel’s favorite shows and introduced him to everyone else.
I like to imagine his Dr Tennaville outfit and dance were originally from Tellie. Hand me downs from big sis Ellie.
Despite acting cheerful to Tenna, she couldn’t help but feel scared and sad about being thrown out.
Asgore, however, was not letting that happen.
“Don’t cry, Ellie. I promise to find you a nice place to stay in. I will never throw you out. We made so many nice memories together! I’m going to make sure we keep reliving memories together! Won’t that be nice? It’s going to be okay, Ellie.”
Another thing I want to mention. As I said before, Asgore likes to personify objects. I think he was the one who named Tellie and Tenna :)
Wowie!! She gets to live and not get thrown out! Yipppeee!!
So how is she doing in the present day? :D
Uh… Not too well actually…
She might not have gotten thrown out, but the down side of staying with Asgore is that you will always play the same thing. Only get used for the same thing. The same thing, over and over, and over, and over, and over again.
I was inspired by my family’s CRT that we used to own. We had modern TV’s, but we still kept the CRT. We never really used it, it just stayed in my parents room. The only time we ever used it was for watching VHS tapes of our favorite movies, or playing old consoles on it. Thinking about this, I wondered..
How would a TV feel if we only used it for one thing, the same tape, show or game, and nothing else? Would it grow tired of this? Nothing new ever happens. No one uses it. It means nothing, except that one show. Most people watch TV for the variety of shows, games or movies that it provides you.
Tellie loves her shows. She was excited when Asgore and Toriel started living together. So many new shows to put on and entertain the Lightners! Tellie loved putting on a variety of shows for them, she didn’t mind too much when Asgore kept watching his favorite cowboy show on her.
But now.. All she does is play that cowboy show.
