A. I cannot believe we got a real power of neo . B. I get his point about tone, but the thought of "hey every" breaking down on every repeat is funny as shit and I kinda wish we had that C. I also cannot believe we actually got Chara focused content in a newsletter

[@TheUndeniablyPowerfulH]

I agree with you yes

[@lunabruce1804]

Yeah!!! :DDD Chara and Asriel are my favorite characters, so seeing us get a lil bittersweet thing abt them and Asriel is rly sweet ;w; The fact their favorite number is 9 and the reason for it is so sad, like-it's their favorite number cause if they had the highest number they wouldn't be able to be hurt ever again, and noone else will be able to be hurt either QvQQ

[@tpfoxCastro]

The moment I saw that this was the NINEth newsletter I just knew it was Chara time. And I was right! :D

[@betabeef4115]

23:27 This line specifically makes me think this is a poem by Asriel referencing Chara. “Scary Face” and the connections to dealing 9999 damaged in from them in Geno. So now we have a random tidbit, Chara’s favourite number is 9, neat.

[@Slenderquil]

This observation here really fills in the blanks for me. Chara really loves going to the max. Loves the highest number, fills their glass to the max. It fits their completionist theme really well. Always have to get the most out of whatever they're doing. No wonder you have to grind in Geno, Chara would do the same.

[@AllanGuiHaya70]

Also the "flowers we pick and times we laugh" makes it pretty obvious it's Asriel!

[@superlagbro192]

And the lines about being unable to be hurt anymore fits well with the implications of charas life on the surface

[@PersonYayyy]

I almost had a stroke trying to remake my theories due to thinking Gaster was writing it due to the split speech, then I noticed it wasnt in all caps and had another, then I heard it’s likely Asriel and calmed down

It's adorable And also the fact that their favourite number is 9? That's probably significant outside the genocide route, right?

[@LunyLucy]

​@@TripleOA I mean, Asriel explained why, it's because there isn't a higher number, if everything is high enough nobody could hurt them or anyone else again

[@TripleOA]

@@LunyLucy There's gotta be more to it though, right? Like the water glass thing, that probably showed that chara wasn't allowed much, so when they were allowed things they took all they could get, but the answer we were given was a simple "it's more efficient", so the 9s must mean something more, something different... either that or it shows chara can actively see stats - even outside of when they were dead - but that's way too many canned worms to can handle

What's really interesting is that Power of SPAMTON not only uses a different leitmotif from THE WORLD REVOLVING (the part that's also in Dialtone), but it has Don't Forget, implying Spamton's theme was supposed to have Don't Forget like Jevil's Power of SPAMTON is just peak

I've listened that themes and it's really *_BRILLIANT_* . "Power of" themes is one of the best themes for me now. (I'll pick "Power of SPAMTON" (not old version) theme as the one of the best. 🌟👍) And I agree with you about talking "Don't Forget" leitmotif in "Power of SPAMTON". It makes sense. I think "Don't Forget" theme suits Spamton, too. He doesn't really like to be forgotten. Also, "Power of SPAMTON" theme is with "THE WORLD REVOLVING" theme (freedom leitmotif) and "Don't Forget" theme, so I think it's a perfect harmony for that theme. And the interesting thing is, in the "THE WORLD REVOLVING" theme, the "Don't Forget" theme" was played in the original note, but in the "Power of SPAMTON" theme, the "Don't Forget" theme" was played more on a minor note. I want to point out that, too.

If you convert just the first 8 bits you get "ñ", so whatever converter was used probably just discarded the last three bits and converted the first 8. The converter I used has the option to use unicode and it pads the input with 0 to the left if it's not byte aligned (i.e. 0000011110001001), which results in "މ"

Fun thing: with the email subscription, it uses the name you gave and also replaces some food mentions with the favorite food you gave.

When Sans puts his spin on it, it's just Undertale Papyrus. Where he is technically a villain trying to capture Frisk, but is actually a good guy with no harmful intentions.

I can't wait to see what the 10th anniversary would be like next year, I can imagine it'll be huge.

[@bcar2263]

MORE evidence for Oblivion Theory with that letter!! If you didn't know, Chara is meta-textually associated with 9s because they represent the absolute limit (of RPG stats, media content, cups of water, etc). I hope this newsletter will help more fans see this connection!

Omg the 999s being genocide damage completely went over my head that makes SENSE. Also just realised because of that that the last letter is from Asriel about Chara...

1 more year until Undertale becomes 10 years a decade man i feel old now man 😢

My soul resonate with hopes and dreams of all human and monsters. Chapters 3&4 are sooo close.

3:09 Maybe i'm reading to deep into this part but this kinda feels like it's in some way referencing Papyrus knight theory probably not that but still

[@Doublemow20]

Crazy how its already been 9 years already, can't wait for the next deltarune chapters! Ive only been in the undertale community for atleast 2 and a half years now and it is still one of my favorite games so far

Toby acknowledged AUs, they're all canon now.

[@StrikerSML]

​@@SGT_NUMBNUTZ2736 Probably not. Didn't Toby say chapter 3 would be weird and 4 more standard to what we know? If anything chapter 3 would be very light world heavy.

[@StrikerSML]

​@@SGT_NUMBNUTZ2736Also would you want a light world chapter where it's just nice character dialogue and slice of life stuff with Kris and Susie (I want that.)

[@kovexplay]

This newsletter was so fun! 😁 I love that Toby actually aknowledged AUs in this one lol The concept arts are pretty interesting, the Queen looked kinda terryfying ngl, some sprites make her resemble the mythical medusa I have a question about the dog mug though- isn't it going to be annoying to clean? I love the idea but how well are you able to wash the little doggy? Anyways, in my eyes it seems like the next 2 chapters are going to release either at the very end of the year or pretty early in 2025
