Have A Little Guy Bc I've Been Thinking About Slugterra Recently

OMG 😆 just read the chapter and it was amazing🤩. Can’t wait for the next chapter! Btw take your time on the next chapter no need to rush this. You got this 👍

AHHHHH THANK YOU! but I don't think I can get lazy w this, yall need closure after where I left off that chapter lollll. It'll be out soon!

wait hold on

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

SAME

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

I LOVE THESE POSTS

Also I HC that Vance and Mario have both wanted to deck Will Shane for nearly a decade since, as popular figures they've always wanted to get in touch and professionally collaborate (Will on the Bravado show and Vance in competitive racing) and Will being shady never responded so they both already hold a grudge over that.

like seriously, they're both the right ages! They could have made their OWN Shane gang, Will and Tom and Mario and Vance!!! Mario and Vance being a decade or 2 younger, but still super useful!

Can you please make a head cannon where Dana, Mario and Vince joined the Shane gang and how would they react after a distant shore pretty please 🥺 I’ll give you an ice cream for this 🍦

Me: *Inhales Ice Cream* Me: offering accepted- I needed a break from making that stupid map anyway-

Shane Gang Head Cannon's #4.2: I'm Getting a Sense of Deja Vu [EDITION]

You know, I've mentioned it before but user {multiversal-madness} dose have a bigger Shane Gang AU, here is a link to one of the posts [X] I recommend checking it out! especially since some of my HC's are influenced by their AU!

[Still working on my fic and big blog post- but brain rot calls-]

⚡[Part 1] ⚡ [Part 2] ⚡ [Part 3] ⚡ [Part 4] ⚡[Part 4.1] ⚡

{Dana}

She joins following the faking of her death in 'The Gentleman & The Thief'

Till Dana gets a new wardrobe, she's sharing cloth with Trixie, and she may or may not steal a shirt or two from Eli

[I steal my brothers shirts, their just comfy-]

Eli and Dana develop a sibling dynamic

both their dads where good friend's once upon a time, and with them dead/presumed missing, they bond over that and some other stuff

Dana help's Trixie with editing the Slugisodes

Kord is fascinated by the Short Distance Teleporter Dana had been using, but she keeps that thing out of everyone's reach

because Dana is stuck at the Hideout more often then naught, her only sources of entertainment are, the TV, SlugNet and Pronto

being (fake) dead sucks :(

This is going to be a controversial take, but Eli tells Dana about the Surface.

'The Gentleman & The Thief' takes place after 'A Distant Shore' which is the ep where the rest of the Gang learns the truth that the Surface is real, and I'm pretty steadfast in anyone who joins the gang after not being told, as seen in the Gentleman and Gerhard HC's,

but Dana is the daughter of Tom Por, and Will leaving for the Surface(and Will's dealing with the Shadow Clan) is what caused the rift to form between them. and Eli dose not want to lie to Dana, and dose not want what happened to their fathers to happen to him an Dana.

So Eli tells Dana, and tells her as much as he knows,

Dana is touched that Eli is trusting her with this information, that he trusts her this much despite everything

Trixie and Dana have girl time

goes as well as you would expect

brotherly affection for Eli be damned, Dana will punch, Will Shane

Pronto makes Dana a tomb stone

she's actually really sentimental about it (the tomb stone i mean)

Dana becomes like, the stealth expert of the Gang

{Mario}

Mario would join some time after he's offered the position on the team

like a week-month later

Like however long it takes for 'The New Kid parts 1 & 2' to be done and over

Eli gains yet another Big Brother

Mario will physically get into a fight with Twist when he's seen again

Trick shot practice with Mr. Bravado is a Populer Slugidose series on the Shane Gang SlugNet account

Trick shot practice with Mario is fun in general tbh

Pizza night every Sunday, with home made Pizza

All reasoning be damned, Mario will deck Will Shane

Kord and Mario bond over blaster mods, and slug gear

Trixie enjoys making compilations of the Gangs best shots, and Mario is surprisingly good at video making, so he's constantly helping out in editing the compilations, and even cross posting on his own SlugNet acc

Pronto and Kord get a start of their betting with Eli and Mario way before Junjie happens

during 'A Distant Shor' Mario, just like everyone else is annoyed at Gar, and is telling Eli to leave the mad man alone because nothing good comes from chasseing fairy tails

and just like the others Mario is pissed Eli is not trusting them, and acting so, weirder than normal

then the reveal happens and he is gobsmaked

"I-its real??? The Burning World is REAL?! OH SHADOWS- Th-this is-"

Mario just hug's Eli because, kid just went through so much shit, and destroyed his grate uncle's journal, the one thing that probably had all the answers to all the questions Eli had, just to keep the secret, and them safe-

Mario makes Eli's fave Pizza that night

{Vance}

"I'm a Racer not a Slinger"

*Is given a baster*

*Becomes cowboy*

"what the-"

he joins sometime after 'The Slug Run'

he got fired :( (From Racing)

turns out, giving up the super rare slug prize you where contractually obligated to hand over is a no-no

Sucks as Slug Slinging and requires so many aids to help him shoot good

Vance teaches the Gang a bunch of cool Mecha tricks

Vance makes it a point to teach everyone to ride each others Mecha Beasts, just in case they end up having to switch rides, or commandeer a dif Mecha

he used to do sponsored shows/races were he had to ride different models, and it's not all the same

When they get the Motorbike upgrades Vance is salivating at the mouth

Trixie takes more of an interest in Mecha tricks as compared to the guys

Kord and Vance bond over Mecha's gushing over every new model and mod ever made

Eli get's to help them with maintenance

[he's not allowed to do anything other than tighten bolts, last time they gave him something important to do, Fernando exploded]

Pronto and Vance get into an argument about Fernando

"YOU NEED A NEW MECHA MOLE!"

"FERNANDO HAS SERVED PRONTO LOYALY FOR YEARS!"

they learn to 'agree to disagree' and leave it at that.

Call Eli, Ash Ketchum, because he's got yet another Big Brother

Respect be damned, Vance will punch Will Shane

Much like the rest of the Gang during 'A Distant Shore' Vance is not a fan of Gar

Gar is like an obsessive fan, and Vance hates those kinds of fans

is very concerned about Eli and how weird he's acting in 'A Distant Shore'

At that point in time, Eli has made a name for himself as the Shane so Vance can't help but think Eli is letting the pressure get to him and is making some bad calls, similarly to the one's Vance made early in his career as a racer.

When the truth comes out about the Burning World being real, he can't help but think about how much of a PR nightmare Eli's actions no matter how well indented, were.

He is 100% running damage control and debunking and all of Gar's claims on the SlugNet after the fact or so help him-

He dose ask about the transportation Top Side though

Eli tell's Vance about NASCAR

goes as well as you think it would

happy last same year as it was yesterday 2024 tuesday

todays the only/last day you can reblog this lol

What's TEAL? : 0

oh! "To End A Legacy," on ao3. I started it a while back. And I shorten it to "TEAL" constantly in my authors notes so I got used to just writing it like TEAL so my bad

horrifying thought for the day:

*takes big breathe* HOW DOES MARRIAGE WORK IN SLUGTERRA?!?

like, how do our religious and secular norms of things translate to down there? How does it legally affect couples in terms of owning property? And healthcare?!?

honestly, do they HAVE marriage as a concept legally? It's pretty anarchist/capitalist down there. Would they even HAVE a legal mechanism to tie 2 ppl together like that?

...genuinely, maybe they don't, or only some caverns do.

MY HERO!!! thank you for your imput, i think we would like fruity things, it would smell very different from molemound lmao

EVERYONE: I need HC imput

Pronto absolutely sleeps with incense burning. This is important for Pick Your Table Chapter 2. What scents would be his favorite?

Currently, I think he likes Lavendar candles. Would he also like earthly-toned smells? Or maybe he'd like high-class-sounding smell names? any answers yall give ill probably name drop in the fic, thx yall :)

I BEG YOU TO READ HER WIKI PAGE

honestly, i only know her because in America if you look like a girl and can shoot well its our sacred tradition for the coach/range officers to call that girl "annie oakley" at least once a month and explain who she is to the unsuspecting kid lmaoooo, I was called annie oakley so often that its lowkey the only time I like being seen as feminine :)

and at a range her whole thing is being the best shot in american history (at least the best popular one) and thats all i knew till, like, a few years ago, where i read her wiki and like BRO HER LIFE??? very wack, and she kinda seems cool on a moral level too!

here's her young (age kinda debated)

also she was kinda adopted by Sitting Bull and supported Indian Land rights which is cool

and here's possibly her last photo, w her dog and her husband Frank E. Butler (who she met when he challenged her to a shootout and she beat him)

wiki is decent, there's also the Annie Oakley Center Foundation here: Frequently Asked Questions About Annie Oakley

...how did I make that Annie Oakley post not realizing Mario bravado is obviously inspired by Annie Oakley and

THEREFORE a fic of his convo w blakk would be like the perfect way to explore the Annie Oakley parallels w Slugterra?!?

brb, I have so much to write-

pronto: "what energy does this piece of music have?"

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
