Junjie: Wait, does that mean I’m married to Eli?
Eli: Yeah.
Trixie: Sisterhusbands!
Junjie: Sisterwives.

But having a map would be so USEFUL for writing fics and analysing more of the culture of Slugterra, and I really think w enough time and rewatching one could make a decent map. Just...ugh, TIME. My head hurts too. So I just...avoid geography till I have the time to uncover it.
memes are fun and relatable and all that, but don't let them discourage you. all of that stuff that doesn't make it into the final product is part of how the final product gets made
Eli: "it's jolly."
pronto: "ah, yes-"
Eli: "jolly rancher"
*everyone in the Shane gang laughs, Kord repeats it loudly and with absurdity*
pronto: "...thanks for your suggestion, ANYWAY-"
Based on my last class period teaching a middle school band, love the kiddos they say the weirdest things and it's so much fun
oh I made another graph as well, very relevant to that first one as you will see
cross-examining this totally accurate to canon data charts will lead us to some marvelous conclusions
And please note that eli's mom, burpy, and the goon are not factored into the data, simply because we do not have enough data to place them anywhere concretely.
Also note that I tried to stick to canon - we all have our own theories about those three, and maybe different opinions of the vibes of those depicted above, but I attempted to keep all HC's out of the charts. Feel free to make your own headcanon chart about his situationships, or leave a comment here, i dunno, lmao why did i spend an hour on this, im kinda proud of this but also like, why did i do this-
they have absolutely recited the entire avatar intro together at least once, especially after they tell tad about the elementals.
I like to think that if/when Eli and Tad have to duel, they always delve as deeply into being incomprehensible to terrans as possible by speaking in quotes from the surface
E.g.
Tad: “[sigh] I miss my wife Eli. I’ll be back”
Or
Eli: “did you know you have rights? The constitution says you do”
Or just the whole “buying clothes at the soup store” argument
Note: they have both mutually agreed to never actually give away info on the sun or the sky or the surface in general. This started entirely as a slip up from Tad that Eli just doubled down on. It started out with one quote per duel until months down the line they’re both simultaneously recounting the entire eggman announcement (minus the moon) word for word in perfect harmony
An individual of culture i see-
Honestly Anon, best take on Eli and Tad ever-
Eli, for an entire year, has and no one to meme with till Tad showed up, and it's absolutely hilarious for the two of them, and hella confusing for everyone else!
Also the agreement on staying nothing about the Sky is amazing because they're going to have to fill it in with something different and leads to outlandish statements lmao
my pet peeve is I think everyone is using "filler" inaccurately.
I was rewatching the will Shane part of ROTE and I started thinking about Eli's dialogue when his dad was revealed. He specifically says "Dad, what are you-" and then gets cut off by the Goon. What was he saying there? Momentarily in so much shock he forgot about the goon's control, or didn't care about it, he tried speaking to his dad. And, I think the most likely sentence he went to instinctually in that moment was: "dad, what are you doing?" Which made me think, what was Eli wondering in that moment to ask that? And then it hit me.
for one horrific moment, he genuinely thought it was his dad who meant to point a gun at him. Before the brain kicked in and realized his dad was forced to fight him, his heart leapt to "why is my dad trying to kill me."
that's so damn sad and I'm not okay
