#Thank you Jael

[harumichan12]

whatever you decide we will support you Jakei, we love you and Thank you for everything, stay strong 💜✨️

ENGLISH: Underverse 0.8 part 1 might be the last Underverse episode I publish. I'm done with the toxicity, the hypocrisy, and the bias. I give up trying to explain that I'm not a monster, I just wanted to have fun with a video game that made me happy. I'm not sure if I'll come back or want to make content on YouTube anymore, I'll have to take a long break after this, find another job, I don't know, stay ayaw from all this. Every year, it's the same thing, and I don't feel comfortable in this fandom anymore. I'm not mentally okay. I'm done pretending all this hate is not affecting me. Maybe if I step aside, these people will get the attention they've been wishing for, since there won't be that person and her work they hate so much. They feel I shouldn't have gotten an opportunity in the first place and that they could've done way better, as if this fandom were a competition. Or they'll just find another target to turn into a pariah. I'll make an announcement when the trailer/full episode will be released. ESPAÑOL:

Underverse 0.8 parte 1 podría ser el último episodio de Underverse que publique. Estoy harta de la toxicidad, la hipocresía y los prejuicios.

Me rindo tratando de explicar que no soy un monstruo, solo quería divertirme con un videojuego que me hacía feliz. No estoy segura si volveré o si querré hacer contenido en YouTube nuevamente. Tendré que tomarme un largo descanso después de esto, buscar otro trabajo, no sé, alejarme de todo esto.

Cada año es lo mismo, y ya no me siento cómoda en este fandom. No estoy bien mentalmente. Estoy cansada de fingir que todo este odio no me afecta.

Tal vez si me hago a un lado, estas personas obtendrán la atención que tanto han deseado, ya que no estará esa persona y su trabajo que tanto odian, que sienten que no debería haber tenido una oportunidad en primer lugar y que podrían haberlo hecho mucho mejor, como si este fandom se tratase de una competencia. O simplemente encontrarán otro objetivo para convertir en un paria.

Haré un anuncio cuando el tráiler/ episodio completo esté listo para ser publicado.

Made myself a wallpaper and love how cute the brothers turned out so I had to share them!

I delayed posting this because of the news Jael Peñaloza dropped about Underverse a few days ago but after hearing others' thoughts on it, I can't give up on a hobby that brings me so much joy. Even if this community is being filled with hate, there are still so many wonderful people that just want to have fun and share their art, stories, and ideas.

No matter what happens, let's all try to be kind people, so we can have silly fun times and share beautiful things with each other.

Happy birthday, Cross!! Thank you so much, Jakei, for making Underverse!

Cross belongs to @/jakei95

[maytressts]

Thank you for everything!

I've been familiar with Jael's work since I was 11 years old. It's been 7 years (it's brutal af) and I was always happy when her videos came across in my recommendation feed.

I was not upset after the latest news, because I know that Jael deserved a great vacation for her titanic work. I hope that she and Nyx will take a deep breath and take the break they needed so much.

I finally drew these two poor boys and changed the wallpaper on my laptop

Heh I relate a lot to this. A guy from my school told me about xtale so I check it out. I loved the series and even cried multiple times. I'm so sad that jael quit/take a long break but i respect her decision. (Yes I am that person who watched xtale before underverse and I do not recommend to do that since it spoils most of the first season.)

[zoonibloom]

i have never done happy flappies as hard as i did when watching underverse 7.0 part one,, all the neurons in my stupid little brain finally decided to agree on something for once—that this was the video ever

[carrrrino]

DUDE!!!

Your animations are awesome!!!!★★★★★

Have you ever tought about start doing a animated series (like Underverse by Jael Peñaloza did, for example) ?

Hope you're doing well

Bye bye

Opposites

That's what OUTBREAK is, silly! 😁

I'm doing alright. Thank you for the compliment as well!

Hey can I ask? What will Jade and Ghost son/daughter would look like if they ever had a kid?

okay so this topic about Ghost and Jade's fam in the future has been asked like REPEATEDLY on my ask box since the dawn of Jade's creation LMAO

but thanks to @alypink I finally got to thinking about it and I finally had the time to to draw it! Here it goes! (❁´◡`❁)

Ghost and Jade has three children, Andrew, Jay, and Orion.

Andrew Thomas Riley - (His middle name is named after his late uncle, Tommy) Face looks exactly like Jade, but with Ghost's hair and eye colors. Loves Manchester City so much and dreams of being like Kevin de Bruyne. He has a bright personality like Jade, but has Ghost's competitiveness. A bit annoying, but only he gets to tease his siblings. WOULD FIGHT for his siblings.

Grace Jael Riley - (named after her maternal grandma, Gracie Le Jardin). Her nickname is Jay (Jael ("jay-el") to differentiate her from her grandmother. Face looks exactly like Ghost, but with Jade's hair and eye colors. She's into music - playing guitars and pianos - and loves to write poems. Jay has Ghost's personality and much rather stay in the corners. Spends a lot of time with her grandparents. Jay has some scary ability to make people speak out their hearts to her (blackmail). Her grandma might have some explaining to do.

Orion Riley - A child of Greek descent from Jade's former orphanage where Ghost and Jade often volunteer in. Orion had similar circumstances with Ghost. Orion's father was a drug dealer and addict, and in his intoxicated state had killed his mother. The Rileys then took him as a foster. He is distant and fearful at first, but with the family's nurturing and warm environment, Orion starts to loosen up and finally feels the warmth of a family. VERY close with Ghost and Jay.

Soon after marrying, the Rileys live in Herefordshire, where the SAS residency is. Jade opened a branch of The Garden, and Ghost himself still works as an SAS soldier. Ghost's deployments are short periods, but a lot of deployments every year, so he tries to spend as much time as he can with his kids when he's home, like playing football with Andrew, singing with Jay (however... unique his voice is), and draw with Orion. The way the kids IMMEDIATELY falls asleep when Ghost's reading them bed time stories AAAAAAA.

A very equally disciplined and warm home, they have their shenanigans, but they work every issue out. The grandparents often come to visit and help Jade take care of the kids when Ghost is not home.

Former MI6 black agents from mom's side of the family, and full-on SAS operators for dad and the uncles. Safest group of kids on the planet.

So those are the Lovely Rileys! Hope you love it *(੭*ˊᵕˋ)੭*ଘ

Happy birthday, Jakei!

Thank you so much for the late birthday gift ^^

Once I'm done with some irl stuff, I will make a stream drawing 1 million XGasters for your delight (let's hope I'll survive) 😄💜

Thank you for everything you’ve done for the community, Jael. You’d inspired so many people, myself included, and it’s a shame to know that this is how Underverse is going to end. You deserve a break and I hope everything will go well for you in the future! Thank you for your hard work!

The news were quite upsetting so I just wanted to draw our boy Cross, he means a lot to me <3

[fl00mie]

you know underverse/xtale is criminally underrated when its most popular video has no +20mil views and the rest of 'em don't exceed 10mil

considering how MASSIVE undertale au community is this is straight up unacceptable??

let's remember only THREE PEOPLE work on this series: Jael Peñaloza as the animator/writer, NyxTheShield as the musician and Strelok as the sound designer (although searching up a bit the first result that pops up is a reddit post pointing out they don't appear on credits in the last uvs episode, i just hope they're ok), they truly need more recognition and support

yeah everyone says good thing about this show but they're mainly superficial stuff, as statements from a first glance and that's fine, they know how to identify it as a well-written, structured and animated work despite having seen it only once, but i don't think that's enough

these people work hard to get the chapters out in the shortest time possible and it's impressive; every bit of detail is a delight and a hug to the soul for undertale fans, xtale in itself is an au that knew how to use every resource of the original game very ingeniously (i will probably talk about this in another post); the songs know how to capture the essence of the characters perfectly and add a lot of life to the scenes, it is truly incredible how immersive it is thanks to the ost; and the sound effects just make everything feel surprisingly real

the quality of this series is indescribable and it seems unfair to me that it doesn't get the support it really deserves like other works that achieved much more for some reason

please go support these community folks! they make a lot of effort to offer us quality content without disappointing, and although it's true their names resonate in everyone's heads, they deserve much more support of any kind

[yxkipop]

very normal art request: can you draw dark cream

that is all I have to say, thank you for your time

I hope you like it! 🫠

Dream was made by Joku

Cross was made by Jael Peñaloza/Jakei95

[sophiemusicmaster7]

you have done so much for a lot of people who love Underserve/Xtale and it means a lot to me and everyone, we would never forget your hard work and Nyx's. you both inspire me so much and you both deserve this break, i hope you both will be safe and well and I'm definitely gonna watch Underverse 0.8 Part 1 on the weekend because of school but spoilers never bothered me cause i get to see peoples art of it who love and support you both. i am forever grateful for everything you and Nyx have done and I'm excited for your original project and Xtale stuff. thank you both for everything and i hope for good things for you both <3

Now that Underverse 0.8 Part 1 is finally out, it’s time for me to step back and take a break from the series. It’s a bittersweet decision... seeing the amazing reaction to this episode makes me want to dive right into animating the next parts. But I know if I do, I’ll fall back into the same cycle of emotional burnout I’ve faced over the years. To break that draining routine, I need to stop for a moment. Underverse will be on HIATUS FOR 1 YEAR AND A HALF.

HOWEVER! I’m not disappearing entirely! I’ll still be working on the XTALE 21 YEARS comic, hosting Ask the Xtale Gang events, and occasionally creating short animated content. This break will also give me a chance to focus on my original project, METADORA.

I’d be lying if I say I'm a little worried about people forgetting the series during the hiatus. But I need this break, and I can’t thank you all enough for your continued support and encouragement. Even during tough times, knowing that this project was born from a mix of improvisation and silliness, has brought joy and inspiration to so many people reminds me of my purpose in this world. And I want to keep doing that until the end.

I hope to return with renewed passion and strength to finish this journey that has taught me so much not only as an artist, but as a person as well.

Thank you for being with me.

See you until 2026.

i love rambling and getting out my thoughts on my silly little blog so here we go

i LOVE underverse and it's interpretation of ink and error; genuinely an interesting possible dynamic between the two!!

however, i think people forget underverse is an alternate MULTIVERSE, not just an AU (Xtale).

i see people all the time misinterpret canon error and ink as hating each other, being enemies, ink being an edgy emotionless POS, and error being angry and grumpy all the time. but... that's a fanon interpretation of the two?? again, i genuinely love and enjoy underverse ink and error, but people forget that they are NOT the same as canon ink and error!!

(plus underverse ink and error are more complex than the fandom potrays them anyway. jael i love you frfr)

ink and error canonly do not know each other, and im pretty sure their creators said they'd be friends, actually, if they DID ever meet. crayonqueen has literally drawn them being friendly towards each other??

yet people will sit on a high horse and bash on people who enjoy any possible dynamic between the two that isn't just "wow ur the opposite of me so i hate you!! lets fucking fight stupid bitch!!!!" like oh my stars. oh my goodness. that isn't their canon either. they HAVE no canon dynamic, because they have canonically never MET 😭🙏

anyway yea if you do this, please stop. it's annoying! i cannot stress this enough; the enemies dynamic is FANON and you are not special for bashing on people who enjoy them having a different relationship !

plus they're just silly skeletons. the ship isn't even problematic, because what their relationship is like is completely up to your personal preference. it isn't that serious. you will not die if you see art of them clanking teeth.... i promise...

ok thanks for coming to my ted talk goodbye

[t0mboi]

Thank you Jael for your contribution to the undertale community

You and many artist/animators (in or out of the community) are the reason why I pursue art, and why I find peace in my day to day life.

Your art has a special place in my heart as it’s helped me through my more difficult times, and I love to go through your xtale comics, and animations to see every little detail :)

I always get excited when a new underverse episode comes out, or if you make a comic/art out of any of the xtale characters.

I hope you can have the long rest that you deserve, even if it’s for a couple of months, a year or two. And when you are ready; whatever path you choose, I hope in the end you’ll be able to feel better mentally, rebuild your relationship with your art, and still find some happiness in the game you enjoy.

Once again; thank you Jael for your hard work, rest well.
