i love slugterra discourse.
this is a shiny gem in a world that needs more colorful jewelry. i praise your mind and the joy you find that fuels your drive to post on tumblr :)
my only gripe is that he already has a kid he dissapeared so slugterra social services may not let him adopt, but thats technicalities, and you are right regardless
Pretending Slugterra has similar guardianship laws to the surface, in most places you have to be at least 16 to be released from parental control.
Eli is only 15 at the beginning of the series so a totally viable strategy for Blakk would've been to just adopt Eli.
Can't blow up the ghouling depots if you're grounded, checkmate
I was just thinking about this if you had rewritten Slugterra accession what would you do differently? Would you bring back Dr.Blakk as the main antagonist? Or would you bring in a new villain for the Shane gang to go up against? Let me know what you think.
soory yall ive been so busyyyy BUT
Blakk would have a lasting effect, but he would not be the main antagonist. at least not for a while. cause i think this show could have been so loooooooong....id introduce blakk in like season 7 lol. honestly, slugterra has a rich tapestry of small compelling villains, with some being more important than others depending on their alliances. i'd bring back the old classics (saturday, cc, twist, maurice, blite, you name it) and also add new players - ones that grew undr blakk's shadow, ones that were released/escaped from prison for some reason, ones that hid to wait out blakk's plans and now finally feel ready to make their debut, or even some legendary evil ppl that in age have come to terrorize one cavern and, compacent, their terror hasn't been on wider slugterra's radar. and hell, it could be people killing, or controlling, but it could also be small stuff again, like a kid abusing slugs, or other implicited abusive stuff going on (cause kid show, but cmonnnn, its slugterra, they are so good at being like "yes ur honor this dude was mind controlled for 20 years and we simply let the audience look into the explicit behaviors that we animated for him afterwards" they could so do that w harsher subjects)
i would do...everything different. keep the gang together. have everyone - especially eli - grapple with the concept of how to move forward and make slugterra better - stopping those slug markets and whatnot - while also contending with their trust issues (and possible depression, in elis case) after tad. out with the universal slug or whatever, bring in wtf dana's been doing with the shadow walker - maybe shes been exploring shadow clan territory in the south and calls the shane gang when she finds new shane secrets/treasure. maybe his could be a segmented like a show - some episodes are the gang trying to fight crime but also help people out, supporting programs that make the world better, and the other half is involving a tense plotline with the shadow clan about uncovering the stuff dana found (maybe a secret passage to the back end of the deep caverns, in a cavern that's thin enough to where the shadow walker could just barely manage to take a traveler to the other side). In both plots, old and new characters get introduced and recontextualized in the absence of Blakk, especially Twist, who would probably come back in the context of "hey, why not help out the gang covertly into finding will and rescuing him so i can kill him or something!", getting more evil from his time and trauma w blakk but then as eli's hero worship of the shanes and will decays further it prompts him to come back to the good side?
That was a rant but yeah - came up w that on the fly. But I actally wrote a little of a story involving after ItS - one called "I'm sorry, I dont know what the moon looks like tonight", whose later scenes take place after ItS, and TEAL "To End A Legacy" (which is my first slgterra fanfic) where i continued the slugterra plot....in a really dark way...and IM GONNA FINISH IT 2025 IS THE YEAR I FINISH THINGS I SWEAR-
find me on ao3 at Mister Rose, i havent done stuff in a little bit but ill come back i always do (post 2017)
yesssss! also keep in mind that, like alot of times they do things in the show, its because 1) the calls are in remote areas that wouldn't be under jurisdiction of a cavern authority, or 2) (the big one) the cavern authorities can't do it/can't be trusted to do it. Think every time w blakk, or the game master, or Munch and CC respectively who scared off all the locals, or Futuria cavern, where quentin possessed new tech they couldn't beat; and even in the later era, and in the east, they fought off general bad actions, but especially those that were evil on their power level (dai fu, emperor, goon, the crystal monster, and so on). they're like, special operations/the rebels against the evil political force lmaoooo
aaaaaaaand, if you ever need a historical reference for how law is kept in this lawless outlands, look up stuff about the american wild west. It think theres alot of great comparisons with how small towns/counties operated in the 19th/early 20th century to how the caverns do in slugterra.
thanks for mentioning me i feel so famous :)
i always wondered, shane gang but a murder mystery? i mean, there is alota crime realistically people could be dying, if not them, who handles that?
:O
This was actually rambled about briefly before, and I'm kinda exploring it is a fic I'm working on rn,
But i think the general idea is that each individual Cavern Authorities deals with it.
If the Shane Gang where to happen on the crime, either the aftermath or as it's activity happening depending on the crime the outcome would be different as to how it's dealt with.
Petty theft? Don't worry! Shane Gang is on it!
Kidnapping? Depending on the situation, they would work with the Cavern Authorities or be on standby if needed, though unlikely.
Murder??? report what they know and offer assistance in dealing with the case until they are no longer needed or have to move on to the next mission. But still keeps tabs on it.
Serious offenders being shipped off to Stalagmite 17
Ultimately though, it's heads or tails, remember the Unbeatable Master was technically murdered by Blakk and he faced no legal repercussions for that.
The Caverns, as my good friend mrros-e would say, is a lawless outlands.
Each settlement has its own rules and regulations that are enforced to various degrees by those in charge.
So the Gang can take down a murderer, but it would ultimately be up to the Caverns legal system and Authorities to deal with the aftermath.
a completely improvised song/theory because I try to continuously refine my skill for procrastinating my actual work using interesting and self-improving methodologies
and yes I have a face, I know, its disturbing to me too, just focus on the mediocre guitar it'll be okay
unironically? Avatar the last airbender. instead of slugs channeling powers, it would be humans, who can only do the core 4 of the elementals, and do not have the chi necessary for the energy elementals power (though the more powerful benders can utilize some of it). eli's family are non-benders, hence them mainly being heroes in the underground. Interesting creatures live above and below the ground. Yang could have been a fire bender, hence the origins of slug-fu. maybe both the shanes and the yangs have had the avatar in their family at some point, and their lasting legacy is why they became the protectors. shanes have to stop the 2 worlds from meeting, and from the people of slugterra learning how to bend, since the magic of slugterra elevates the bending power, and people would get hurt from bad actors, or people trying to learn and hurting themselves. And a plot could be that some air nomads escaped the genocide into slugterra discreetly, or that during the 100 years, the shanes have had to convince MANY refugees to not practice bending in from of the slugterran natives, or damn what if the fire nation found slugterra and attacked? oooo, and what if as part of avatar training, the avatar and trusted advisors alone know of the shane's mission, so aang meets shanes from 100 years ago but dont learn where the entrance is, and due to 100 years of war the shane family has dwindled to will and young eli, and eli as a non-bender helps out in the war against Ozai, and then in return a few years later aang helps eli when he's the only one left and keeps watch of the surface for him, and even goes down to slugterra for the s2 finale, or defeating YET ANOTHER emperor, or teaching junjie to fire bend sometimes, and maybe tad could be sent back up to help a sligtly older aang instead of fall into the deep caverns, im thinking too hard about this-
If you wanted to do a crossover with slugterra what show would you do? For me personally it’s storm hawks ( obviously) and the other one is Ninjago ( because of the elements and the ninjas)
What do you think?
Okay- yeah crossover between SH and Ninjago would be fun, I actually remember reading a Danny Phantom and Slugterra Cossover fic(it was short lived but cool concepts-)
there is a three way Crossover fic series between Slugterra, MaxSteel(2013) and Hot Wheels: Battle Force Five. on fanfic.net
dwouebihia;ojs Cossover fics/one shots are fun as hell
but if there was like, one thing, I would pick for my own crossover, it would be Martin Mystery
the vibe of that show just fits, and because Martin Mystery is canonically in the Totally Spies universe(and by proxy The Amazing Spiez) that means my girls, kids, and mystery solving team can find themselves down in Slugterra as well, trying to stop a supervillain along side the Shane Gang from trying to take over/exploit the 99 Caverns
YALL WE'RE FINALLY GETTING RECOGNIZED
also u forgot anti-species supremacist but i more than forgive you, thank you please join the slugterra tumblr discourse you have my endorsement. please, i need your opinion on will shane op!
I was a fan of this show called Slugterra, and rewatched it recently. And it was to my great pleasure to find this Canadian TV show in 2012 about shooting elemental slugs was basically a heavily enviromentalist anarcho-communist propaganda piece that took a stance against AI, the legal system, animal cruelty, imperialism, and the sports/car/oil industry.
