Edit 2: For all you people coming here to tell me it’s not fair to go this hard on an indie creator, your innocent little Camila was tearing down and laughing other people’s work for as long as she was writing this series. And no I am not going to go easy on the child predator enabler. Edit: I keep seeing comments about this so I’m putting it here. I’m not misgendering Chara/Frisk on purpose. Camila wrote them as males instead of non binary and that’s the only reason why I refer to them as he/him. Every time you guys think I've finally died for good I'll come back to prove you wrong

blud really killed alphys just so undyne could be straight

"Why are all the female characters wearing long dresses?" It's so that Cami doesn't have to animate their legs lol.

"Undyne decides that she can just un-die now..." This is the most canonical thing i have heard up to this point.

Sans: Has telekinesis. Also Sans: Teleports IN FRONT of targets and tries to block hits with his 1 DF

“Glitchtale is the golden standard” The disrespect to underverse is insane

i love how the show just straight up has a ceo of racism

Hey, lay off on Camila's background design, that's ME you're insulting. Camila hired me to give her access to all of the cities I built in Xbox 360 minecraft superflat worlds when I was 12.

"Gaster is a tough 'I don't feel no feelings' sigma male" I lost it lmao

it makes me sad how many people in the comments are calling themselves stupid for liking glitchtale. 90% of you were, like, 7. and even if you weren't, _you're still allowed to like objectively bad things._ let yourselves have fun! that's what fiction is for!

I like how a show named GLITCHtale is barely about glitches, and more about complex soul magic bullshit. Edit: Key Word: barely.

As someone who was a kid-teenager during glitchtale's rein, I really want to dive into how camila treated her fanbase, specifically the younger fans. It's literally like she hated them. When there were comments about when the next glitchtale was (yes it's annoying), instead of ignoring them, she made several videos pointing them out and "dunking" on them. And sending her older fans to attack these literal young children who were obviously around 8 or something. Imagine being a grown woman and laughing about bullying 8 year olds who are literally your fans. And during live streams she would constantly call people stupid and clueless for fan theories (which were literally CORRECT) or talking about the "cringe" OCs people made and laughing at then or acting mad at how bad they were and again, sending her older audience to attack the younger. Especially about the fan theories. She called them stupid and told them to "stop trying to make sans come back you're all stupid for not wanting a character to stay dead" and then she brought him back. Lol. She then defended herself by saying she hated that people were getting it right and wanted to throw off suspicion or something like that. Which is insane, a normal person just wouldn't engage. But of course Camilla thinks its okay to attack children to cover her shitty writing. She also made fun of kids on her glitchtale amino, their OCs and fanart. Her entire identity outside of animation and art was just bullying her younger fans and people laughing and harassing the children. I wasn't harassed by anyone because i didn't post any art or comments, but it made me still feel insecure about being creative, art wise and fan theory wise, she just kept telling people to shut up instead of letting people think (probably because it was so predictable lmao). EDIT: I think it's funny how you said she doesn't even know what a book looks like and that she can't read because my most specific memory from one of her streams is her and her fans insulting a child in the chat and then something prompted her to say "haha yeah lol I'd be surprised if half of you could even read" Guess it takes one to know one

"Hmm, I haven't seen Glitchtale in a while. I wonder how it's-" *Creator is a victimizing abuser who harasses anyone who disagrees with her, mocks anything she doesn't agree with, and is a child predator enabler* We can't have nice things.

Something about the fact that Frisk increased his LV by just insulting everyone is funny, Like if you just drop a diss track you suddenly get 20 LV?

You know your AU is bad when 12 year olds can come up with a better AU then you

1:09:08 admittedly, undyne DOES go through depression in undertale, during a neutral route, where you kill mettaton, alphys is implied to take their life, and undyne is depressed, and loses the will to do anything and sleeps on papyrus’s couch. I don’t think camila knew that route when doing this depression arc, but I AM saying this has precedence.

Glitchtale has so many plotholes it gave me trypophobia.

people who love watching big oily muscular black men wrestling 👇

It will never not be funny to me that literally every single thing Camila made fun of her audience for wanting ended up actually happening in the show

If anyone wants a refresher, here’s how souls work in canon: Red: does nothing, implied to have resurrective capabilities. Light blue: also not incredibly useful, light blue attacks don’t hurt if you stay still. Blue: gravity. Green: can’t move, the only time we use a green soul is when Undyne gives us a spear to protect ourselves. Green attacks heal. Purple: bound; can only move left or right, and switch roads. Yellow: gun. Yellow attacks can be switched on or off by a yellow soul. Orange: does nothing, orange attacks force you to move. So purple attacks should be able to bind. Blue attacks could be magnetic. But apparently, they’re just blades, because I don’t know. Blue doesn’t even make sense; why is it a long sword? Why not something bouncy, since jumping is one of blue’s big things? And hey, since purple is perseverance, maybe it could create armor? Or some kind of mobile shield? Whyyy is pink fear? Why is fear evil? Perhaps it could have to do with cowardice and prejudice, but then why is Betty always fighting things herself? And what the hell is up with HATE? That’s not even a trait, everyone hates something, like how I hate this headache I’m giving myself.

Im impressed for how Camila doesn’t know how to make city or NATURAL backgrounds when she lives in CHILE, a country full of beautiful natural places and hell some of our mountains could be used as reference for ebott 😭 and also, for the city you got santiago!! I’m embarrassed of being from the same country as her :,) 🇨🇱💕

Betty is an awful villain. She's barely built up as a "twist" villain and proceeds to become such Sue-like character to the point where I genuinely didn't know if her "death" would actually stick.

I feel like Betty should've kept up the manipulative schemer thing she had at the start, turning humanity against the monsters by amplifying their fear of them. Personally, not a fan of the giant pink blob

WHY DID PAPYRUS' CHIN KEEP EXPANDING LMAO-

I have to say, I've never cared about the animation being lazy and low quality in Glitchtale. Because even as a kid, I was always aware that cartoons are usually made by huge teams of professional animators, so it was obvious to me, that we can't expect an animated series made by *one person* to be high quality, and also watching how the creator is making progres was actually super fun to observe. I believe thats why so many people was praising her for the animation, not because it looked this good, but because Camila was making progres and that enough. However I completely agree the storytelling was shit, and there is no excuse for that.

The fact even Nyx called Glitchtale Bad and Boring tells you everything about this series, when someone who worked on it dislikes it, you know it's really that bad

"Wait, isn't Perseverance just Determination?" Can't fault Camila for those two being considered separate SOUL traits. That one's a part of actual Undertale.

Fun fact, my brother had started a story au called glitchtale with his friend in highschool and when he later found out this au started he changed the name of their au (even though they had conceptualized theirs first he had never published anything online and it was all just stuff with a friend) when he found out what happened with this AU he was really happy that his wasn’t affiliated with it

im guessing that the reason gaster was able to defeat bete was because he drank the determination vile but its not like camila bothered to explain that 💀

Methods of sleeping: -Pills -Bed -Exhaustion -Glitchtale

The fact that characters’ mistakes constantly get them sent to the shadow realm is some ominous foreshadowing for the hopeless peaches drama

Skeleton wrickles could have been easily portrayed by making cracks in the skulls instead, it couldv been a creative wayu to remind of wrinckles while showing ageing and experience

For me personally, what made me lose interest in Glitchtale (albeit in a "damage-over-time" fashion, keep reading) was when Chara replaced Frisk, while Frisk was utterly ret-gone, leaving Chara's old shoes empty. Animosity wasn't out yet, so I had time to think after seeing the latest episode, and before the episode even released, I decided I was done with the series. If you're going to have in-universe characters modify the past, you'd better be able to either A, explain the resulting time paradox so that what's left can be ignored, or B, show your audience the consequences of leaving such a massive time paradox unresolved. Glitchtale did neither before I lost interest.

ARTISTS!!! GET YOUR PENCILS READY!!! WE WILL BE EATING GOOD TONIGHT!!!

You already know something is wrong with the series when you need to see the wiki to understand what is happening 😭😭 Edit: OMGG 1.5k?!!! I have never had so many likes in my life.

let's be honest, I think one of the main reason glitchtale was so popular is because of the cool fights. I watched all that was out back when I was a teen, and I couldn't remember anything about the plot

Instead of this being an actual Undertale au, it feels like a Gaster fanfic. He is the character that was most focused on instead of Camilla's OC! We could've had a Betty redemption arc. But nah, Gaster is the character that's focused on 90% of the time. I'm not saying Glitchtale is bad, but the characters are. (Papyrus what has this woman done to your character!? 😭)

Hello, leader of the fandom wiki here. If I were to told you I understood the lore myself, I'd be lying. It's really hard to keep up with Camila to be honest with the amount of plot holes and stuff.

Undyne being insecure with her abilities is valid but seeing her turning into THAT was so weird. Undyne would 100% go rabid and train to be better after what happened. She's literally the one monster who persevered through death just to stop a tiny child in the geno route despite said child whooping her multiple times

As an author, I really want to point out that Glitchtale’s worldbuilding actually DOES have the potential to be good. If you just take away anything that connects it to Undertale and instead use your own ‘controversial pariah’ characters in place of the monsters, you could make some really interesting, deep stories out of it. One thing I want to point out specifically: humans having a modernized or even futuristic magic-centric military to rival the magic of the monsters is an extremely cool concept. In fact, I was inspired by that specific part of Glitchtale while working out my own worldbuilding, and the result is consistently used in several of my works. I’ve been following Glitchtale since the Newgrounds days, and though I will agree that its success is heavily dependent on the 2015-2017 Undertale fandom nostalgia, I honestly genuinely hope that they decide to go back and rewrite it or something (I mean, hell, maybe I’ll do it once I’ve finished my own thirty seven million book lineup in forty years). I can tell that a lot of passion went into this project, regardless of the quality, and I would genuinely like to see that same passion put into something more unique and understandable (regardless of the scandals - I am a firm believer of separating art from the artist’s controversies, unless there is a direct correlation). Everyone starts somewhere in the realm of storytelling, and it usually isn’t very great (I still shudder thinking about my earliest story drafts from 6th grade), but you’re never going to get anywhere if you don’t go out of your way to try to get better. Glitchtale as it is should absolutely serve as an example to all up-and-coming authors of what not to do, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be improved. Keep writing, and always look for ways to improve!

I love how genuine you sound at 1:13:36 but at the same time noooo don’t stab Grillby. (Also, fun fact: According to the sole comic on Toby’s fangamer account, Grillby moved from Hotland to Snowdin because he perfers the cold. Also, he canonically keeps a picture of a snowman two monsters made that looked like him hung up at Grillby’s because he loved the gesture since he always hated that he can’t touch snow or it’ll melt into water and extinguish him. He says, or more accurately Sans and that redish pinkish bird say in Grillby’s stead, that it’s his prized possession.)

THE EXPLANATION OF THE SERIES GOT ME DEAD BRO "Bete doesn't want Jessica being top on the leaderboard and gets mad"💀

camila must’ve played undertale with her eyes closed because my GOD how does someone manage to mischaracterize this badly? i’ve seen fanfics on wattpad written by children too young to even be on the internet with free access who had a better grasp of their personalities than whatever camila had going on with the character arc she tried to make undyne go through also !!PAPYRUS!! of all people not understanding kindness?? actual abysmal writing jfc

Also, about that part where she says if you dont read the wiki you will have no clue what is going on, thats also a problem for the other popular undertale animation, underverse. The difference is that underverse is confusing because of its nature of having a lot of aus. While glitchtale has no other aus besides itself, and is still confusing

46:40 Speaking of his character design, I’m 90% sure that cape is there solely to be thrown to draw attention to the hand magic

"Frisk gets depression after realising he's in a horribly written series" SENT ME

This series is making fnaf lore more easy

As a kid, I remember absolutely loving Betty as a character. I was a dumb angsty kid who was always into those “edgy” or “badass” characters, but looking back at it, she was WAYYY too OP. Like seriously. The series went from your average Undertale AU, to a mess of confusing story writing. Half the time as a kid, I didn’t even know what was going on. The human characters, Betty’s entire villain arc, and the whole angst shit between Frisk, Chara, Asriel, etc. All I can really remember was that Betty killed almost every character that crossed her path and was overall just too OP for my liking.

glitchtale sans was gojo before gojo was popular -blue eyes -incredibly op near the start of the story -everyone fanboyed/fangirled over him -(spoiler) died, got revived, and then died again and then fan reception got terrible afterwards

Wait what Undyne’s blue uniform was a police uniform?! I found that out just now LMAO I THOUGHT SHE WAS JUST WALKING AROUND IN PAJAMAS😂

I kinda love how Camila made Betty, her super overpowered and not at all generic OC, into the face of the show and channel as a whole, and then Camila herself ended up a villain

44:23 Never in a million years would I have guessed that it was supposed to be a POLICE UNIFORM. I thought that it was a pajama

One thing my friend and I frequently criticize Glitchtale for is how Fear is stated to be some bizarre counter to Determination, and how Bravery can't ever beat it. Like seriously, the freaking definition of Bravery is doing something that frightens you. As for it countering Determination, any old human/monster who KNEW about Frisk's insecurities could exploit them, not some half-written Soul Trait that barely even works to begin with.

Here’s an idea: I really feel like Camila could’ve THRIVED if she just animated fights. Undyne vs Gaster, Sans vs Papyrus, Asgore vs Toriel, whatever she wanted. No need for plot, or detailed backgrounds. Just epic fights in the void. I feel like that would suit her better.

Glitchtale started out as some fun anime fights between undertale characters and it should've just stayed that way

this series is like a sandcastle in a tsunami. Anything previously established just gets swept away and never seen again

Even while watching and loving this series, I *HATED* how Frisk’s character was assassinated and how he basically died. It was so random too! Like what the hell?! Edit: It’s so nice that 29 people agree with me as of May 26th, 2024

Hi, former glitchtale fan here I actually got to ask Camila on her instagram story Q&A about her character designs to see if she had any old drafts, and her response was that she usually uses the first design she makes

"How they got bodied from a 12 year old with a frying pan" I am starting to think how was it possible for the genocide route to be possible.

34:20 Okay this street is actually insane. 1. The curb on the left is like a foot high while on the right it’s half a foot, 2. It’s not even really a curb the concrete slabs of the sidewalk are just super thick essentially 3. The corner in the top right is like, angled downwards it seems 4. The road line markings are just crazy, it implies that this is three different one way lanes since the markings don’t allow merging or turning in anyway. 5. No matter what orientation you make the one way roads, the car driving towards Betty has to have broken the law in some way, because either they came from the right going the wrong way and are now going the correct way on the one way or vice versa, but regardless they can’t turn that way because the fucking lines don’t allow it

I'd like to add some additional notes to the character design section because I honestly feel like they weren't ragged on enough. Pretty much all the characters have the exact same silhouette, body structure, and anatomy, including the main cast from Undertale! A good example of this anatomy assassination in action is Alphys and Papyrus. In the original game, Alphys is depicted as having a slight slouch and triangular head, giving a very reptilian appearance. Papyrus, meanwhile, has very skinny limbs and a small torso (covered by his battle body,) there's a little of circles, lines, and curves with Papyrus with little to no corners, which fits for character. Yet in glitchtale, all this is completely thrown out the window in favor of more humanoid anatomy, and it looks so wrong. Gaster might just have the worst redesign out of all of them. He looks more like a pale human than a skeleton! And before any of you say in the replies, "Oh, it's just an art style choice,” it's for the best to keep the characters' anatomy consistent if you're trying to be accurate to the source material! Which Glitchtale tried to do in absolute failure. Pair this with all of the other mistakes and flaws in Camilla artstyle, and now those statements aren't even an argument anymore. Don't even get me started on the inconsistencies with the base game lore, like the fact that determination isn't even a specific soul trait! But this comment is long enough, and you already go into many more reasons why this series is garbage.

Long story short: She had success in creating a fanfiction with no OC's, that MOSTLY stuck to the series lore, and gave an ending that literally everybody wanted anyway.(S1 Glitchtale) When she got the confidence boost from s1 success, she though of branching out, doing something new, but it turned out she SUCKED at original ideas.

Honestly, I’ve been wanting to look back at Glitchtale with a critical lens ever since the drama with Camila came out. I wanna see for myself if the show was really all that good now the rose tinted glasses of being excited to see an animated series about my special interest are gone

Glitchtale isn’t objectively bad, it just went off the undertale aspect and became a self written story with some undertale characters that more or less got written off with a ending that makes Disney look like a well written story … Ok, maybe it is objectively bad…

ALSO I’VE JUST NOTICED SOMETHING RECENTLY DURING THE FINALE EPISODE OF SEASON 1 OF GLITCHTALE BEFORE CHARA AND ASRIEL FIGHT. Chara: “If you ever think of reseting, the timeline will get more corrupted and erase itself.” Also Chara: **creates the ERASE button to ERASE THE WHOLE TIMELINE**

Season 2 would've been better if there was no mary sue and we *just* focused on the conflict between humans and monsters living on the surface. Edit: Holy magikarp over halfway to 1k likes. That's some insanity.

Glitchtale had been my hyperfixation for almost 5 years. 5 YEARS, and I’m still learning new things about how convoluted this series lore is. Jesus Christ.

28:17 has anyone noticed that the toxic gossip train just started playing here Also, you will not believe how excited I got when I heard any name of any character, I vaguely recognize I blinked and all of a sudden half of the cast was dead, and was replaced with people who I don’t even know what’s happening

Something that bothers me a lot about Camila is her obsession with her obvious Chara recolor named Betty. Like dude, are you going to tell me that your 100% original character is that powerful? why? Undertale already has an established canon, you can't come and put your ideas out of nowhere just to give it a reason why your original character is more powerful than the characters already present.

As a kid, I kinda was blind to bad writing, bad plot, bad animation because I had no standards. But the thing you said about Betty is way too true, she is supposed to represent fear and use it against who she faces, but every time she supposedly uses this trait to manipulate and defeat her opponents, it's not fear she makes them feel but something closer to guilt or grief. Even a child like me could see this massive inconsistency.

god, 13 year old me was having a brain aneurysm trying to put the whole “plot” together

So basically it's a bad fanfic?

35:14 Not to mention that if you look to the right of the door after the walls change from red to white, the other side of the room is still red. They made the walls of a fucking room inconsistent, and they're not even good at that either.

The fact that Camilla’s backgrounds ad perspective are so broken despite her history of tracing is wild to me. Like, tracing photos of real life objects is a very valid method of practice and study.

remember when she made a video making fun of people who said sans and chara would come back, and would help kill betty, only for that to LITERALLY HAPPEN..

39:46 character design to rival genshin impact npcs

Apparently, Season 2 is basically "MarySueTale."

remember when she killed off alphys for NOTHING but shock value

You know, looking back, the art for this series was WAY worse than I remember, all it had going for it was that beginning sans fight, and even then, it was leaning hard into every stereotype invented by the fandom. (Frisk being a little baby that needs sans to help them despite being fully capable of wiping out the underground, chara possessing them to do flips and shit to avoid attacks, sans remembering resets instead of just being really good at reading faces)

This genuinely made me head hurt as I was absentmindedly watching this while playing Genshin. This has never happened to me before, and I think that says a lot about the series

"If you don't know how to do a ___ thing, you don't do it" WRONG You do it, you receive criticism and analyse it and get better

Can we actually talk about how Jessica was somehow made into a positive character despite how she started off 1 being racist, 2 wanted betty to commit RACIAL GENOCIDE???

"Mistakes can never be forgiven in Camilla's eyes." She must hate herself

26:33 HELP THAT WAS MY IMMEDIATE THOUGHT TOO I'm so tempted to draw them (because CMON a widowed father finding love again is such a juicy plot), but redesign them some first bc... I don't wanna make Camila straight up fanart 🤢

The comments section here is a fucking hellscape. I even clicked on one of the profiles with absolute dogshit takes and quickly found out that most of them were children trying to rage bait. Honestly, it was more funny than anything, and seeing them give up on having a proper argument (not that they were valid in the first place) and reveal their true intentions was GOLDEN. You gotta love the internet sometimes, lmao. But uhh, to be on topic- I've watched Glitchtale when I was a kid and thought it was pretty cool. And rewatching it after all these years... It's hot garbage, lol. Just a shit fan-fiction given a small budget with an even shittier person making it. This, of course, doesn't mean you can't like it. After all, art is subjective, and people can like whatever they want. They can even separate the art from the artist. I just wish they wouldn't excuse the creator's actions because they like their works.

My biggest pet peeve with Glitchtale has always been the side profiles. Holy shit, why are they so incredibly ugly, some frames of the show look incredible until a character looks to the side and suddenly have the ugliest face- I'm just puzzled, obviously she is a good and experienced artist, how can she not be able to draw okay looking side profiles-

This tale was SO bad that even Camila makes Sonic. Exe have better lore while the WHOLE plot like to sonic. Exe is just revolved around killing. 💀

34:35 Holy shit, the fact that I took a COMPLETE shot in the dark here by saying "It's Gaster's house" despite the very first clue pointing to it being Asgore's and then it ACTUALLY ended up being Gaster's house is absolutely fcking wild to me, you know that your story and writing is shallow af when I, as a person who has basically 0 prior knowledge of this series is able to guess a random character's house after an approximate 15 minute synopsis 😭

"Gaster is a tough I-don't-feel-no-feelings sigma male" has gotta be the FUNNIEST thing I've heard in a video from you

I really think (one of the many) fundamental problem(s) is as follows: Undertale is a story that really *only* works as a video game. When you take characters like Flowey and Sans (let alone Chara), who were *heavily* tied to the game’s meta-commentary and put them into a combat-centered animation series, they just don’t work. Let’s just focus on Flowey: in the game, Flowey was, in large part, a commentary on the nature of being a “player” in a video game, and how experiencing that game over and over eventually leads to a near-total loss of investment. Placed in another medium, he’s… a sadistic, time-traveling flower whose primary contribution to the story is being a convenient visual metaphor. I hope my point is clear. This was a bad premise for a story from the very beginning.

Honestly, I think Glitchtale would've worked better as a chill, slice of life type of show with the earlier style. I dunno, the chibi designs of the characters back then were kinda adorable, so it clashed with when stuff got dark or gorey. If the series was a comedy that focused more on the characters themselves and their dynamics with each other, rather than an action packed series that constantly needed to up the stakes and kill off characters, it probably wouldn't have been so meh after the start of season 2. After that point, it felt like Glitchtale constantly tripped over itself whenever it tried to bring in more character drama and fight scenes after each Episode.

i remember she made a video responding to comments saying she had to revive sans and said that it was her series and she wasn't going to let fans control it, some time later sans was revived in a bullshit way and when she was called out for it she responded by saying she did it because the fans were asking so much. I just found that really funny as a kid

I'm so happy other people noticed the stuff I did when season 2 first came out 😭 11y/o me really thought I was just a bit dumb, not understanding a single thing that was happening after the monsters got out of the underground

It still bugged me to this day that Undyne's police "uniform" looks more like pajamas In fact, almost everyone in the second season all look like they have nothing in their wardrobes but pajamas, you'd expect the fact that Mettaton still being famous after Asgore's arrest would imply a trend wave of fashion Edit: Also, I just wanna say this, but the decision to render actual voice acting to an absolute minimum seems redundant, especially with an exposition heavy show like Season 2 Like, I can't help but be put off at the characters ah- ing and oh- ing and occasionally calling other people's names like I'm watchinga bunch of Minecraft villagers(which would explain the choice of clothing) She even showed how each character would sound with full sentences, and it was the best cast of characters yet, and a very good cast of VAs an animated series of this calibre can have yet, atleast for me

holy SHIT. glitchtale looked THAT BAD???? omg my brain has been tricking me since 2016 when it came out. i remembered it as a masterpiece but- fuck.

The ranting is absolutely grating but you are right about the story it’s a mess

It’s weirdly funny to me that I was in the Undertale fandom for a very long time, yet I never encountered any AUs until years after I had left the fandom, and by that point those AUs were either dead or dying. Feel like I dodged a bullet. I did, unfortunately, end up in the FNAF community and down the rabbit hole that is FNAF AUs….

Betty is an awful character, but one thing I can give Camila credit for is some of her visceral expressions. They’re absolutely incredible, and if only that energy was directed toward a better written series

betty regenerating constantly was because her true form being revealed would mean coming up with a unique monster design, which would take effort

Tbf though, about the set design, Camila did do a lot of stickfight animations before and they almost always contained just plain backgrounds so that the fight scenes could really take place, but I will admit though that there have been amazing stickfight animators who incorporated some set designs in their fights so Camila was probably just lazy or too focused in making the fights look good.
