15:37 or perhaps SANS IS NESS

I swear to god is spookydood responds with a video debunking the relationship I am going to have hysteria

ngl, TGPICBS (AKAB!!!) is fantastic! i began reading inverted fate a bit late (by like a couple of years lol) but it's amazing how much effort was put into this au. also, the references are so cool, as much as that rickroll was so unexpected.

i hate alphys when i found out about the exerpiments

Personally I'm looking forward to seeing some more backstory, more context on the Holidays and Dreemurrs and there history would be really cool to see.

You know, pretty much _any_ depiction of religious worship immediately brings this song to mind.

carpet... carpet... carpet... check it out im in the house... like carpet... like carpet...

"assuming we wont get a newsletter in december"

I like to imagine toby watches theories/predictions and sees people arguing and goes "Lmfao both of them are wrong. What idiots"

9:30 it was always my interpretation that this wasn't him acknowledging determination. He thinks that you're being metaphorical, saying that he's killed people like you before, when you're being entirely literal. I thought it was a moment that was further cementing his regret of killing the other children.

ngl, I would enjoy burgerpants being a party character immensely, he's always been one of my favorite characters

the sans boss battle feels like pissing off that one really good teacher

I will be chaprer 3 antagonist

My favourite part of theorising is that, with only 2 chapters and random bits from the updates, we can build a pretty solid plan of how the rest of the game will go!...in like 5 different ways, if not more.

Umineko music lets go

No wonder Kris, Susie, Noelle, and berdly were sleeping at the end of chapter 2. "only eyes blinded by darkness can see the way"

God these games and characters are so goddamn good. And you're equally as good at talking about them. My heart is happy

I am sane, sane the insane

Wait, I thought that the thing with the bones on the UI was a fan game creation I didn’t even know it was an original (note I have played Undertale. It’s just I felt extremely guilty after accidentally killing one veggitoid don’t judge me I was like six) 24:49

There's confirmation that Berdly will indeed continue to be relevant after chapter 2, so there's going to be significant changes if you did the Snowgrave role. It's not that Berdly will disappear from the narrative in order to fit the linear story.

i always interpreted mad dummy as more fem coded 😭

I am 100% convinced that Napstablook will be the cop to come to the dark world in chapter 3, only for undyne not to believe them Because what would be funnier than Undyne missing out on the excitement when she's actively seeking it out

Yeah, what a newsletter this turned out to be, eh? I think my favorite part is easily Temmie's art of the dog incased in the ice. I dunno why, but the concept alone is way too funny to me.

I can understand why someone who didn't grow up in the 90's might dislike this version of Sonic, as he oozes 90's cheese with all his lingo. However, that's why I love him even to this day. It might be seen as cringy now but for a kid back in that decade, SatAM Sonic and other characters like him were legitimately seen as the definition of cool.

Ah another Azziepants enjoyer. Excellent video overall by the way!

"To by or not to by" is pronounced in Japanese like "Toby or not Toby". A parody of "To be or not to be." Nice pun. :3 But it COULD still also have a third shop-related context too, which would make it, like, a triple inverse pun! 😀

Y’know what buggs me? What BAFFLES me? Why nobody not one singular (prominent) person has ever once genuinely considered that the knight is a character we haven’t met or even heard about, but rather a character we don’t even know exists that won’t appear till later chapters since we’re only on 2-7(maybe more who knows). And god knows I’m not gonna dig into the rabbit hole that is “hey y’know how Toby’s dream was in 2011” cuz I don’t wanna start spiraling and beginning to genuienly start considering the beta-kid knight theory cuz that’s like.. ACTUALLY a crack theory.

11:48 Also asriel shirt!

pizza pants is the knight, its why he has so many sprites

plot twist is that the holiday manor teasers are red herrings

YESSS FEED ME MORE DELTARUNE CONTENT I FIEND I FIEND

If you ever do that metanarrative video, I really think you should check out YIIK: A Postmodern RPG. it has a really interesting take on metanarrative i've never seen done before.

as someone with depression, i can actually relate to sans really heavily. i make jokes, keep a smile on my face, all so that nobody has to know im suffering. i want other people to be happy. i dont want anyone to go through the same thing i am, and if i can make just one persons day better ill do anything.

it'd be really funny if they dropped it on jan 1st. i know it's not but it'd be really funny

getting this recommended to me right after receiving the december newsletter is diabolical

I genuinely used to find Alphys annoying when I first played the game but going back to it now, she's sort of become one of my favorite characters story wise. She may be annoying on occasion but what person isn't, everyone has their flaws and Alphys has plenty, but that's what makes her so interesting. She has so much going on under the surface, possibly even more than some of the more popular characters. Every single character has their own story and traits that make them likable, interesting, or even hated. But that being annoying or evil, doesn't make someone a BAD character, it simply makes them a character. Some characters can be written with flaws intentionally and honestly, Alphys is sort of fun to me, she's relatable and awkward, being scared of life and not being sure of her own accomplishments and confidence. As much as people hate to admit it, they all have something they're annoying about, something they're terrified about and stressed about, something that brings them down more than anything else and something they regret deeply and dreams they can only hope to achieve. This video does a way better explanation than I could at explaining why Alphys is actually a great character. I'm glad it exists.

I like to think of the sad, sad headcanon that Asgore cares about kids so much because he misses his own kids, and is heartbroken that he can't continue to teach and protect Asriel and Chara. Also thank you for this video, Asgore is one of my absolute favorite Undertale characters for all the reasons you list. 💛

I genuinely think that Chapter 3's "Weird Route" is going to have us manipulating Toriel into making us some fried fish.

It's interesting how in Deltarune, Asriel is mentioned throughout Hometown by almost everyone, even Onion-San, but Dess is only mentioned by Noelle, with most of the info we got on Dess right now from whatever Noelle said on blogs or websites.

the comedic timing of the song in the beginning was perfect lmao

car pit

umineko soundtrack........

Your Noelle voice was cute

i kind of assumed that the pizzapants sprite is him presenting something while working in the festival? it could be ice-e related if they are catering for it like you suggested or are using it to promote themselves bc of how big of an event it is. or maybe he had to get another job in it. also DESS GOT ONE (1) LINE OF DIALOGUE THROUGH SOMEONE ELSE (as im writing this i realized that her giving the snow angel bigger wings MIGHT be Foreshadowing of her trying to give some power to noelle through smth related to the angel but i could also reading too much into it and it's just meant to be cute (which it is))

I like the Implications that Jevil may have gotten more than Seam's Eye... It shows that Jevil is still Dangerous and was most likely holding himself back...

6:54 I believe Susie is talking to Ralsei! the japanese translation of the E9 dialogue starts with "hehe... Rarusei ni(...)" then he goes on to say "waaーn boku mo suji-tan ga taaisuki dayo~" which is a cutesy, or "baby" way of talking. very in character for Ralsei lol

STOPPPPPPP TORIEL’S LITTLE SNOW OUTFIT IS SOOOO CUTE AND SHES STICKING HER TONGUE OUT TO CATCH SNOWFLAKES?!?!?! Ive always related to her way too much to my own good but now I do even more!!!

I JUST dressed up as Kris for halloween this year, and NOW Toby releases the proper Kris/Chara shirt?!!! he's trolling me for sure

what if the problem at the festival is not one dark fountain opening up. But several. All the places we suspect getting dark fountains all of a sudden.
