Mrros-e - The Guy Who Writes Stuff

haha, love it! Ur so right. I'd just like to add a brief HC;

so I'm a rifle instructor at a gun range for a junior club. At the end of our sessions the instructors pick up the shells - only the ones to be reused or sold as scrap, though. It's possible that depending on the material (being biodegradable or valuable) slingers would just leave it there.

furthermore (this is probs wack to the average person oops) a lot of kids like going into the firing range (WHEN THE RANGE IS COLD) to help clean up the shells, and it's not uncommon that when a kid sees a cool looking one (it's big, it's dirty, it's dented, it's neon pink, it's green, it was rare ammo, it was EXPENSIVE ammo, the shape is funny) they'll pick it up and keep it as a keepsake. I got a few from my own junior days. (Just please, please wash you hands after touching ammo shells. Cold water. Must be cold water. 30 seconds. Soap. Orange Non-lead soap if you can. Lead exposure is NOT FUN.)

so....new hc, I think kids in Slugterra pick up shells for fun, plus they are useful when getting older and they're learning how to shoot. But if they're really well-working or expensive, or could be sold for scrap, the slingers themselves go through great lengths to get back their shells. (Not to mention - the rarer the gun (like Eli's), the less compatible the chamber is to the average shell., unless shell and chamber sizes and blaster force have been following a set standard across blaster shops for decades already). They would not be laying on the ground for long. You would not believe how obsessed range officers get at their scrap metal deposit side-hussle...the janitor stole the lead my coach was gonna deposit one year...

This has been bugging me ever since I got into Slugterra: Where the hell do slug shells even come from? Do slingers pick them up after duels? Is there a limit to the number of times a shell can used to sling? I have my own ideas but I like hearing other people.

Im dumb when it comes to technical stuff, but for me, these three Slugidoes help when having to think about this kind of thing

[SI-2 Blasters and You]

[SI-6 Slug Retrieval]

[SI-14 A Bried History of Slugslinging]

I SWARE there was a Slugidoe that explained the Shell/Berrals thing, but I might have hallucinated it, or it was explained in an episode briefly-

But the long of my take is that they are manufactured by Balster manufacturers and are used to house slugs while on the move and for loading them into a blaster.

Before Blasters Slingers(and slugs) would use just about anything to help a slug reach their Valosimorph.

The Shells/Berrals are reusable, and depending on the type of blaster you own, it will determine how much of a mess you make in a duel lmao

For instance, there are Gatling typ blasters but they don't fart out Shells/Berrals like a Gatling gun would after firing, the Shells are hooked to the blaster, like a revolver, and rotate, allowing a Slinger to shoot multiple slugs in quick succession, and reload multiple slugs as once, at the disadvantage of it being heavy, and take a bit longer to load.

One Shell/Berrals Blasters, like Eli's typically have you pushing out the previous shell to load in a new one with a slug in it already, but I believe it's been shown a slug can be loaded into a blaster with a Shell already in it and fired.

Over all clean up depends on the situation.

Tournament? Cleaning crew most likely.

Duel against an enemy? Probably collecting them after the fights over, or there probably staying on the ground, see the Episode Bandoler of Brothers for an example of that.

Probably a whole job to go out and collect them.

Overall, Shells/Berrals are a reusable resource, with the only limitations being how many you can carry on your person at a time and what's needed for the model of blaster you own!

I also like to think they are customizable!

Blakk Industries makes red Berrals, though they might just be stained from Dark Water lol

...it took 11k words to introduce junjie into the juneli fanfic....

theres alot of fics im either writing or planning to write

shanes get hurt's next chapter keeps feeling overwhelming, so im writing a long one-shot next to it. and i genuinely think this one will be done before shanes get hurt.

on the bright side, i finally get to do something ive never truly done in any of my stories:

explore twist's character.

strap in, folks. im writing a past-twist/eli, current eli/junjie fic, and since i don't feel the perfectionist urge w it nearly as much as SGH, its gonna be out...soon...

My friend wants to know something and I to want to know as well, this is his question “how come nacho’s the only dark bane to go work for dr. Blakk wouldn’t it be better to have more dark bane in his group? Or did the writers have no time to make more dark bane characters?”

Let us know what you think 🤔

more dark bane come up to help Dr Blakk at the end of "Back to Blakk" - nacho was the only one up at first because a)they wanted to keep the secret of the bark bane in Slugterra for as long as they could, and nacho is the only one (probably) who can shapeshift to look more human, and b) Blakk needed a lot of ghouls to open a portal big enough for several dark bane to go thru at once. The fandom has been calling the 4 other bark bane that came up after back to Blakk plus nacho "the dark bane elite" for a while. Brimmstone stayed in the deep caverns so he could command the army into the portal during the s2 finale - they planned for a huge assault, not a slow trickling of dark bane, especially since they probably planned on causing a great upheaval and overpowering blakk in the confusion.

one of my first takes on tumblr was "kord knows CPR" and im so glad we circled back around to that again

Besides doc being able to heal them, if doc is not present who would be likely to have the most experience medically? Like doc has to have limits too cause he couldn't heal the master it seems

Kord would probably be the most experienced medical wise, and then it's Pronto then is Trixie and then Eli with the least medical experience once to take away Doc. But not my much

Kord, and every other Cave Troll typical end up working with machine's. While Cave Tolls have thick skin, I would imagine they still have safety protocols in place, and expect you to know about bit more than first aid, especially if any other resident of the Caverns that isn't a Cave Troll is involved. They are very aware not everyone is as durable as they are, and want to make sure they are prepared in case of an emergency. I wouldn't say Kord has like, 'doctor' level training, but he would count as a civilian medical aid, by that i mean, he is training to provide assistance in medical situations to the best of his ability so long as consent is provide by the patient.

Pronto is the king of Molemound and the tracker of the team, I would expect him to know some basics, and have knowledge on plants that are both harmful and beneficial.

Trixie is a Slinger, and knows basic first aid same with Eli, but she has more experienced than him simply because she's been Slinging longer than he has.

I would assume when Doc became a Gardian Slug and temporary left the team, everyone picked up medical training and are good with it to various degrees as there are different types of first aid training you can get, I should know, i did Emergency First Aid, CPR-AED-C training.

I'm not expected to know how to stich someone up, but I can help someone going through an OD or heart attack, and bandag wounds to help slow down bleeding till first responders arrive.

But yeah, I would think Kord has the most experience with medical stuff

😭

Eli Shane: As long as I was going on a mission, I could pretend you weren't gone. It's crazy.

Will Shane: No, not crazy. Very human, actually.

My friends and I were just talking about the Shane family tree and we realized it gets a bit confusing.

Like Jimmon Shane from my perspective didn’t have kids ( maybe he did have kids and we never knew about them) yet will being his nephew takes over the Shane name after he retires. But shouldn’t have gone to his will’s father ( Eli’s grandfather) instead so that way it would have been easier to pass down through generation to generation.

Man just thinking about it makes me and my friends head spin 😵‍💫 Really wish the writers could have done something about this to make it more clear about the family tree.

YES YES IT IS!!!! i actually wrote a fic exploring this a bit called "Burned Away" on ao3 - and it will not be my last time exploring the older shanes. i love them!

My theory actually has to do with Master Shanai. The most likely explanation, disregarding the what-ifs about will's parents dying and whatnot, is that Master Shanai only chooses one student to train - hence, if there's shanes that are cousins/siblings who would take up the mantle in the same era, Master Shanai would choose the most combat-worthy, or who has the most heart, that type of deal. And then the unchosen spend more time on the surface, or specialize in something like tech or recon or just helping where they can (especially as they grow older and gotta care for kids). in Burned Away, I made will's dad the one chosen by shanai and jimmo mainly raised will instead, on the surface ,while his brother (wills dad) was the acting shane, and they would swap out every once and a while. I also made jimmo a nerd about slug biology and health but thats like a complete HC.

Point is, its most likely that theres more shanes, and we just know the ones who were chosen by master shanai. I wrote that fic for drama and all, but its much more likely that jimmo was the chosen pupil, but had a brother/cousin and they had a kid, and in the next generation, it was nephew will shane who would be chosen next. This actually makes more sense than just "the kid gets it" - it makes sure the most promising shane gets the title and if any of them turn evil shanai just wouldnt choose them. I think this is how the shanes have lasted so long. though, what has happened to make it so the family tree has dwindled and will had ONLY eli left for the next generation of shanes...that lies in HC territory.

In the future where Eli and Trixie get married:

[Trixie puts her wedding ring on Junjie’s finger]

Junjie: Wait, does that mean I’m married to Eli?

Eli: Yeah.

Trixie: Sisterhusbands!

Junjie: Sisterwives.

Eli: Okay, I can get down with that.

okay if we're both actively writing a fic about will shane jailed by judge logan and being young and fun while breaking out im gonna laugh so damn hard

I am currently working on something, and all I have to say for myself is this:

Will Shane is just a silly little guy, your honor! He's silly, very un-serious, and just wants to have fun before getting bonked with the trauma hammer

there is 2 demons inside of me. One wants to finish SGH. The other, despite complete lack of editing experience, wants to make a will Shane anti-hero AMV.

I will never know peace.
