WAIT WAIT WAIT

METS ARE HEADIN' TO CALI PEOPLE

it keeps going, it just keeps going. W a Lindor grand slam to make a 1-0 into a 1 - 4.

Holy heck, they have been incredible. These Mets are good, but they also have a CULTURE - memes, plenty of team spirit, resilience in their harshest moments. They are at the top of the game, but that's not too special, there's a fantastic team that makes it every year in the mlb - this team brings JOY to every victory, moments to every score card. That's what makes 2024 so magical. And actually, that's the energy that's brought the Mets to winning the World Series their first time right? The little team who was the worst in baseball in 1964 won 5 years later (ish, been a while since I've seen the stat). It's where all the losin' Mets jokes started, and where the Mets got all their quirkiness from. And then they smashed peoples expectations in 1969 and then they also got the "amazins" and the "miracles" and the "you gotta believe"s. It's the type of team where you're not looking for a result - ur watching a ride. And holy HECK we're getting it.

Redhook gets "Oldman with LORE" privileges

In response to a comment in the Mall Cavern post

Redhook, dispight living a fairly quiet life in Quietlong Cavern, keeps up to date with just about everything that's going on.

Especially since he used to be Will Shane's go-to for Blaster repairs/upgrades. Probably Jimmo Shane as well.

The Shane's probably chat with him as he worked, or more likely just talked, and Redhooked listened.

Because of this, Redhook knows the most off-kilter things ever, especially about Will and Jimmo.

Like Eli drops in because his baster trigger is acting up (and he just really wanted to see Redhook again for whatever reason).

And while he's there, poking at the dodads in the shop while Redhook works. Redhook just drops the most unhinged anecdotes about his dad and grate uncle with zero prompting or explanation.

"You know, your old man once spent an entire week in a Forest Cavern, on a stake out, and temporarily went feral for a bit," Redhook said, not looking up.

"He what -" Eli said, his head snapping to the older man, "Redhook, what do you mean my dad went 'feral'?! What happened? Redhook!"

Redhook does not elaborate.

☆

"Your Uncle Jimmo used to be quitethe Lady's Man back in the day you know. I wouldn't be surprised if he had a couple brats running around causing trouble like he used to!"

"OMF JUST FIX MY TRIGGER!"

☆

"I once punched a pirate."

"Is that how you got your hook?"

"Na, lost it because of a bet"

"What-"

"Anyway I lost my eye to a Shadow Clan creature clawin' at my face"

"YOU WHAT?!-"

☆

Redhook also probably knew of Eli's existence before Will disappeared because he had two specially made blasters.

Will probably commissioned two, one for him and one for Eli, that he was going to give to his son after Eli had spent some time is Slugterra, but you know, he couldn't because he's in the Deep Caverns because Blakks a petty A-whole.

Redhook probably asked about why Will wanted two blasters even though Will doesn't dual wield, and more likely one was a backup.

And Will who subconsciously thinks about Redhook as a grizzled grandfather just blurts out.

"Ones for my son-" and Will immediately slaps a hand over his mouth, looking like a deer in headlights.

"...."

"...."

They just stare at each other for a good while, Will visibly panicking.

"Whats the kids' favorite color?" Redhook finally speaks.

"Eh- wha-?"

"Want me to make it a specific color, or keep it orange? You plan to gift this to your boy when he starts up as the next Shane, right? So why not personalize it a little for him?"

".... Orange is fine"

"Hmph, have it you're way then, just don't come cryin' to me if the kid hates it"

And then years later Eli stumbled into his shop, and at first, Redhook is not convinced that Eli is Will's son, never mind the fact Eli lookes like an almost exact copy of the older Shane.

After that brat comes back in some hours later, more confident than ever, demanding a new blaster so he can protect Quietlong? Redhook finally sees that all to familiar fire, that was just a merger spark hours before.

And if Redhook has a white box with an orange star on it, full of unique balster mods set aside- he wasn't going to say anything. Not until the kid needs it someday. That's the Shane way after all.

thank you for sharing you HC I love it and will cherish it forever in my cold little sad mage heart, @mrros-e also, very honored to be your first reblog☆.

yeah...it's crunch time. I have a resume/portfolio to write and a 50 min presentation on it and 3 gov exams to take and I'm scared lmaooo

well at least I'm not being mind controlled into killing my people and my caverns' environments for 20 years, right?

Tad, leading a battle against the shanes, but unable to stop himself in front of eli. "Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die."

What would make the whole “Eli and Tad being incomprehensible” thing even better would be if slugterra and the surface had different languages (like I think the alphabet implies??) and Eli and Tad just insult each other in surface language (probs just English) and refuse to translate. Doubly funnier if they meme at each other in English and just bust out laughing after shouting. So from everyone’s POV they just watched the Shane and Blakk yell angrily at each other in a mystery language before breaking into laughter at something that NO ONE will ever know about because they will not translate ever

(Context)

Yes, absolutely, and it causes much confusion because

Guys- you're supposed to be enemies??? What's with the secret language and inside jokes?!

I started working today, then got an idea for a slugterra gay time travel fic, and spent an hour rough-drafting the plot...wtf is wrong with meeeee

my notes app is deranged, and long, and in so many ways I am doomed
