New blog!! Figured I'd start one for GT :D
I'll mainly post art and sometimes writing here!
I currently have a massive Glitch Techs AU called Fragmented Core that I've been working on for months, if not years by now and the majority of the art here will either be about FragCore or use the FragCore designs
There will occasionally be OC content too!
I would like to thank Glitch Techs for being the only series in existence where this slimecicle clip works as a canon-accurate animatic or something.
Like I can close my eyes while listening to this and picture one of the techs slowly losing their minds in a mapper glitch.
Being in a mapper glitch is a lot like those posts about dealing with the fae or travelling through a liminal space.
Don’t eat the food. It won’t make you unable to leave or never be satisfied with normal food again (probably) but it won’t fill you. It’s plixel and code that will vanish moments after being swallowed. Your brain will think you’re not hungry from all the “food” you’ve eaten when you’re actually starving. And that’s not including the risk of the plixels you ate actually containing a root form.
Don’t fall asleep. If you must sleep, you MUST do so in a context that the Mapper will recognize as the player character sleeping. Like sleeping in places where the player can sleep in-game and never in a spot or bed where the player can’t do that. Sleeping in any other context is a very bad idea because the Mapper can’t tell the difference between a human that’s asleep, unconscious or dead, and if it thinks you’re dead it’ll take you away and keep you unconscious with the rest of the unused assets (or wherever it puts defeated players if it has an explicit mechanic for that).
Play by the Glitch’s rules. You are here to play the game, so you must play by the glitch’s rules. Use tools and weapons the way they’re intended in-game, avoid straying from the path and abusing bugs or (non-monster) glitches. Obey the rules and it’ll be fine. Disobey or try to break things and at best, the glitch does it’s best to… remove you from the equation. The sword you’re using despite the fact that your class isn’t supposed to be able to equip it vanishes from your hand, the boss you tried to kill during a cutscene reverts to its root form, a pissed off possessor glitch that’s been given the go-ahead to use you as a vessel. At worst the world itself unravels, the glitch failing to make sense of what’s going on as the programming errors pile up until its code seizes and the entire thing crashes down on top of you.
You might see some things that don’t quite belong in the game. An NPC saying something that’s slightly different from their original dialogue, an enemy acting and moving in ways that their normal code may not allow, strange things you can’t explain out of the corner of your eye. This is the Mapper glitch and every glitch inside it essentially ad-libbing a bit so they don’t crash and collapse at the first sign of something unintended. An NPC from a singleplayer game acknowledging the existence of multiple players at once, a turn based enemy dealing with the fact that humans are not fast or coordinated enough to attack entirely in turn. This is normal. All glitches do this to a degree.
You may also see some things that are more explicitly not right. You’re trying to beat Minecraft and you swear you see Steve watching from afar, barely visible in the fog and disappearing when you focus your eyes despite player characters never showing up in a mapper glitches. You’re travelling through Ravenholm and you could have sworn you heard the quiet jingling of bells and saw a man in a suit, holding a briefcase and umbrella in the corner of your eye despite no character fitting that description being in the game. An enemy from a game’s sequel showing up even though that should be impossible. This is something going wrong with the Mapper glitch. Not from a player doing something unintended, but the glitch itself making a mistake. Ignore these. Do not acknowledge their existence. Do not attempt to seek them out and do not interact with them, lest you either break the game or end up out of bounds. The mapper glitch will quickly end up fixing these on its own.
Stay in bounds. Out of bounds, the back end of the mapper’s code, isn’t made for humans. Unused and unloaded assets float around in an endless, empty void, hundreds of glitches swarm through the ether travelling to and from the areas where they’re needed as various assets, various plixel shapes, both euclidean and non-euclidean, act as the mapper’s interpretation of more vague and ambiguous pieces of code like timers and logic handlers. Don’t go down there. Nothing valued is there. Gravity and Physics loose their meaning, the there’s enough constantly running code and glitches, many of which are possessors, to drive most techs insane from spending too long down there. This is where the defeated players go if the mapper doesn’t have a good place for them. They’re lucky the mapper keeps them asleep down there.
I’d want to argue that eating food in games where the eating mechanic is established is fine, in the sense that it gives you energy and health and whatever other buffs. So you could survive in the Sims, Stardew Valley, dos2, Minecraft and whatnot when eating the game’s food
What you don’t get though is the nutritional content of the food. You don’t need the glucose since the game’s food provides the energy without having to go through the whole conversion of glucose to energy, but everything that a varied diet promotes is missing (one could even say that without glucose you could be hypoglycemic anyway because your body will know it’s missing despite you being full of energy)
So, sure, eat the PLixel food, but remember to take your Hinobi-issued Supplements™️ with it!
^ THIS
Hinobi has to make it a rule that all games supported on their machines (that have the potential of being a mapper lasting more than a day) have food in it that can keep a person alive while inside the game
BITT and Mitch team up I call that Bitch
The BITT and Mitch Williams team up nobody expected or asked for but I am here to supply anyway
YESSSS
So do all the Hinobi vans have their own training Bitt in them or did Mitch just Have Bitt unconscious in his van for some reason in the first episode
Mitch did something really embarrassing and his gauntlet recorded it so he kidnapped BITT to try and erase that recording from his memory
he’s too much of a prick to be a paladin, he’s just a very tanky fighter who’s learned to scream ‘FIGHT ME’ at monsters to get them to attack him instead of the blueberries
Thought this would be funny.
@critterfrits Seems like the exact kind of post you'd love
Click for better quality!
Back with more Fragmented Core AU art finally! I tried some semi-realism this time! :D
This took me 15hrs to draw and has over 100 layers
On anon because I feel like this compliment is too.... weird?
I think Rose-Tinted would be beautiful as a bound book
-Sincerely, a person that loves binding books
Nonny one day I would love to have a bound version of Rose-Tinted once it’s fully complete.
I just have to finish the silly thing first - even if I’m doing it one paragraph at a time, I will finish it.
When it’s done I’ll post my bound copy haha
Happy 4th Anniversary to Glitch Techs!
As a little gift to the fandom, here's a free crochet pattern so you can make your own Chomp Kitty plushie!!
Pictures of Chomp Kitty!!
Here's what he looks like finished! (Apologies for the poor pictures, my usual photo backdrop has disappeared so I've resorted to the good ol' blanket + chair combo)
Bonus pic of Chomp Kitty with Mitch :D

I’m connecting the dots.
Just in case you're interested, here are the official Bolypius designs that were set to be featured in S3!:
Regular ^ (Apologies for low image quality)
Boss form! ^ (Official turn-around ref)
Neat! I haven’t seen these specific bits of art (didn’t even know that Bolybius got to the point of having a final design), but I do have this bit of concept art of you’re interested in it.
Left would be Bolybius regular and right is an early concept of their Boss Form.
Ah yes!! I have this one too but I couldn't find the image (I've got a very large gallery of GT behind-the-scenes stuff to sort through lol)
If you're interested in any concept art, I'll see if I have it! :D

I tapped out another like 2/3k of Rose Tinted last night and it’s so weird how this fic just will not leave my brain alone.
I promise there’s more coming!
Current chapter 13 word count: 8400 and still going
It’s just…. fluffy
FragCore Mitch has a companion pet named Widget!
Slightly old art but here she is:
Since FragCore Mitch is blind on his left side, he has Widget to watch his blindspot! :D
Shortly after the injury, Zahra and Haneesh joined glitch techs and were assigned to Mitch so he'd have backup. He naturally wasn't too pleased about it so he kept pushing to be allowed to take solo missions again. Eventually Phil caved and let him do so, under the condition that he get a companion pet to assist him in the field.
Widget was chosen for Mitch because of her docile nature! She's a passive mob and isn't built for fighting so she can't really deal much damage. She is, however, used for recon and helps Mitch by keeping an eye on his left side!
