Benedictine and Franciscan Monks: Forgotten Inventors

   Usually, when we think of religious orders, these things come to mind: a cloister, an abbey, a library, prayer in solitude, detachment from the world… All this in the cradle of a period defined as "dark" by historiography up to Romanticism: the Middle Ages . In this period the monks - especially the Benedictines of the various orders - were the custodians of Judeo-Christian but also classical culture, since thanks to their patient and meticulous transcriptions as scribes we have received almost all of the Greek and Latin works which we study today. Today we are grateful to them first of all for this.   However, many do not know that many products - material and immaterial - that we consume and use every day, come from monks who, using their ingenuity nourished by a profound spirituality, invented them due to practical necessities.    Personally, I find it amazing!    Let's begin…   The heavy plow   Plows were a primary agri...

Glitchtale: a corrupted Undertale timeline

Similar to the other fan based alternatives to the Undertale world, Glitchtaleis, an animated series created by Camila Cuevas, builds on the foundation of Undertale while introducing new, intricate plotlines. It expands the original game's narrative, delving into unexplored themes and conflicts. The series masterfully balances action, drama, and emotional moments, keeping viewers on the edge of their seats. Each episode reveals new layers to the story, making it a captivating and unpredictable journey for both new and long-time fans.

Traumatized Characters!

Glitchtale excels in developing its characters beyond their original portrayals in Undertale. Characters like Frisk, Sans, and Chara are given deeper backstories, motivations, and emotional arcs. This development makes them more relatable and complex, enhancing the audience's connection to them. The series also introduces original characters who add fresh dynamics and challenges, further enriching the narrative tapestry of Glitchtale.


Animation improvements

If you were there when the series started you can clearly see Camila Cuevas's animation progress. The improvement in character design, drawings and animation is outstandig, and it's one of the best part of watching an indie studio grow. Personally, I don't find it as visually appeling as other series like Underverse, but it has one heck of a story!


Godly soundtracks

Glitchtale's soundtrack significantly enhances the emotional and dramatic impact of the series. Composed by various talented artists, the music perfectly complements the on-screen action and character development. Each track is carefully chosen to match the tone of the scenes, whether it's a heart-pounding battle or a poignant character moment. The soundtrack helps to build an immersive atmosphere, drawing viewers deeper into the world of Glitchtale.

Community marriage

Glitchtale has fostered a dedicated and passionate fan community. Fans actively engage with the series through fan art, discussions, and fan theories, creating a vibrant and interactive ecosystem. Camila Cuevas maintains a close connection with her audience, often sharing updates, behind-the-scenes content, and responding to fan feedback. This level of engagement strengthens the bond between the creator and the fans, making the viewing experience more personal and rewarding.


In conclusion, Glitchtale captivates its audience through its engaging storyline, deep character development, high-quality animation, powerful soundtrack, and strong community engagement. These elements combine to create an animated series that is not only visually and narratively compelling but also emotionally resonant. Whether you're a longtime Undertale fan or new to the series, Glitchtale offers a rich, immersive experience that keeps viewers coming back for more.

Aren’t We All Poor Things?

  "Poor Things!", released in Italian theatres on January 25 2024, is a film by director Yorgos Lanthimos that presents itself as a startling and thought-provoking work. Through grotesque atmospheres and surreal hues, the film revisits the myth of Frankenstein in a modern key, focusing on the female figure of Bella Baxter (Emma Stone). Bella, an emancipated woman with a sexuality that was free for her time, is brought back to life by the scientist God (Mark Ruffalo) after a suicide attempt. However, her brain is replaced with that of the foetus she was carrying, creating a hybrid and unique creature.   Like Frankenstein's monster, Bella finds herself catapulted into a world that does not understand or fear her.
