Pick Your Table - Chapter 2 - Mister Rose (MrRose) - Slugterra [Archive of Our Own]

JUNJIE X ELI! this is only ch2 - i split up this chap so this is more of the bromance chapter but i hope yall enjoy all the same

im so powerful when i procrastinate -

...so hey, you know how we all want Maurice to be happy?

..............................................

i made him close some plot holes instead............

I'm sorry........Maurice, my beloved........

Eli sounds like a gerbil in the French dub of Slugterra and its so perfect

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 :)

bestie, we see what he's like in romance with Drucilla, and ur right, he would do that for her

How is kord like with romance?

You know the trop of that one person being a fool in love?

that's Kord.

He is an absolute fool attempting to do everything right, flowers, active listening, the attempt at a romantic date, funny jokes, he would be so whipped its not funny.

I also kind of see him acting a little like Kevin Leven from the original Ben 10 story line, more accurately then Kevin and Gwen where dating.

Kevin cares for Gwen but he can be a dense idiot, and I see it happening with Kord lmao

especially the;

"You have to treat a car like you treat a woman"

"...go on"

".... No. I sense I've made a mistake of some kind"

HC: certified doctors in Slugterra have to pass an upper body physical test purely because in order to treat cave trolls they must be able to treat them without need of helpers - without being hindered by lack of arm strength.

You think different species like cave trolls and humans need different means of cpr? Pronto hears thru his nose and has his heart in his butt so I assume that's def different, humans are smaller than cave trolls so do cave trolls only use one hand for adults like how humans do for human childern cause of their pure strength? The list goes on

I would think so!

Humans already need different CPR. Till age 8, you perform CPR ment for kids on children, and after 8, you perform adult CPR.

Child CPR has you delivering 5 hard open palm blows to the back, followed by a two finger chest compreshion, while they are angled downward at like 45°, you already have to use one hand on a kid.

For adults (8 and above-weird, i know, but that's what I was taught-) you do regular CPR, and if needed/available, you bust out the AED

The AED will periodically shock the system to stimulate the body and tell whether or not the heart has started again. It will guide you through the motions and even has a button to switch to child mode to give instructions on providing CPR to a child.

There is also the fact other devices, like a oxygen mask might be in play as well depending on the situation.

With that in mind, and the fact that different species have different overall biology, it would make sense that there are different protocols when giving CPR to different residents of the Caverns.

Humans are straightforward, but for a Cave Troll to give a human CPR they would have to dile back their strength, CPR already risks the braking of ribs as is. Same when it comes to Elf's, they are humanoid, and Moleinoids, and their weird ass biology.

Whoever a Cave Troll must tend to medically that isn't another Cave Troll, they would have to be very mindful of their strength. So yeah, I would agree/assume they only use one hand when dealing with someone that isn't their own kind

As for a Human, Elf or Moleinoids preforming CPR on a Cave Troll, they would have to use as much strength and they could, or find another Cave Troll.

I would bet there are different AED devices made for the different types of residents of the Caverns, the Cave Troll one delivering more of a shock than the one for Humans, Elf's and Moleinoids.

And you know what? Let's take it up a notch and include slugs. Hypothetically speaking, if a slug here to need CPR, i would think it would follow the child rules, two finger chest compreshions and a blow to the back. Probably with not as much power, since they are so small.

Eli Shane and Junjie be like

staying strong

Going back to Maurice being liked by everyone at Blakk industries, how much you want to bet that when he leaves to run errands for Dr.Blakk the whole place goes nuts without him there? Because I definitely can see that happening.

Yes, absolutely.

Blakk may be the fear factor in keeping everyone in line, but it's Maurice who keeps the entire citadel from blowing up!

On more than one occasion, Maurice has had to calm Blakk down and break up fights.

The man can't take a brake for ten minutes without something going wrong!

And when he leaves to run errands, he has to leave a detailed list behind on what to do in an emergency for the temp guy/gal filling in for however lone he's gone.

The list ranges from 'keeping track of the Ghouls' to 'list of things to try to calm Dr. Blakk down before evaluating the building'

And then, even when he comes back, there is still a fire that needs to be put out.

Maurice loves his job, 10/10 better than what he used to do when Viggo Dare was in charge, but sometimes he needs a brake. Especially from Blakk-

ive always thought if kord herd one of his friends in pain on the other side of a door he'd reduce that door into splinters, like this

This is now Cannon,

No arguments

Kord can and will Kool-aid Man himself through a wall to help his friends

anytime - I love the Slugterra fandom, yall keep me young as i enter professional adulthood lmaoooo

Hey there just read your story and I loved it 🥰 can’t wait for the next chapter😁.

Now for my question: When Dr. Blakk was defeated where did all the other villains go? Not once did I see twist, C.C, John Bull or Blakks other goons after that. What exactly do you think happened?

P.s I keep hearing that we might get slugterra back, but no confirmation yet if it true or not.

Let me know what you think.

aww, thank you so much!!! I'm so glad, it's got me obsessed w writing again :)

I think, in the final battle of s2, Blakk didn't care for them anymore, since dark bane are super powerful - they'd be more useful as cavern enforcers, probably, and we're off-screen being evil that way. after the battle -depends. Cc comes from a rich family and was known as a sport slugslinger - he might've gone back to that, he might be laying low to go back to that in a few years. This is probably true for most of the jock lackeys actually - shooting sports has always been a sport for either the really desperate trying to protect ppl, OR the super wealthy who like wearing thousands of dollars of gear to show off. Twist is...well, I explore it in ch2 (already deep into it), but essentially, it comes down to if he's redeemed, and when. Maybe he wasn't at the citadel but super loyal. Maybe he planned to rh. After master shanais murder. Or maybe he went back to underground foolery, as he did pre-the new kid, I associated w Blakk but still in organized crime. What is certain is that, after s2, twist had been publically for Blakk, like Maurice - both of them would need ALOT of help branching out of the underground due to their reputations. So they'd stay there... unless some fanfic writer used their unclear future as a way to breach the plot hole of how the goon got into the deep caverns..............stay tuned for ch2

And Imma be so real - I'm not holding hope for them coming back. Nerd corps is gone, and I couldn't watch ascension - not because of the animation, because it did something slugterras never done - go with the boring plot line. Like really, no kord or pronto, delving into slug biology instead of EVERYTHING ELSE, and bringing back blakk for a NOT good reason? It strips the heart of the original show. It would take a lot of money and good intentions to continue the show decently, and god help me, this shows been so LUCKY with not having any contradictory lore - get the wrong writers, and it'll break like a cheap pencil. So it could come back...but I'll be building up my ao3 regardless. I'll take the Slugterra canon into my own hands, and keep it alive through my fun obsession with it, side by side w all my homies online who wanna do the same :)

fuck fascists :)

what do you mean elon musk did a nazi salute on live tv at the united states presidential inauguration twice and is now erasing the evidence off the internet by replacing the footage with the crowd cheering instead?

would be a shame if people reblogged this, wouldn’t it?

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

YES YES YES YES YES GLORIOUS ART WHAT AN HONOR YOUR HONOR

Little snippet of a convo Will Shane and Tom Por are having in the fic(there both like 19 btw)

[for some context, they are watching a duel between two skilled trick shot duelist]

“I noticed, think something like that could be useful in a head to head shoot out?” Will asked. 

“You kidding? misdirection is never not useful Shane,” Tom snorted, “Though, ide say your years off from their level”

“Like you're a better shot!” Will snapped. 

“Compared to those two? No way. But you? It's hardly a competition,” Tom snarked with a smirk, as Will gasped dramatically. 

“And here I thought we were friends!” Will feigned causing Tom to chuckle. 

[Their silly little bros your honor!]

im being so real:

i think pronto abandoned the mole king business because his brother was supposed to be king and he was free to do anything he wanted but then his brother died (why will shane knew "pinto" and not "pronto" - duh, pinto had to be important to mole society) and he had to take the crown...but from mourning and hating the job he ran away.

Speaking of moleniod is it weird we still haven’t seen pronto twin brother like at all? Like he was mentioned but that was about it, no photo or flashbacks, nothing of the source.

I feel like if the show had kept on going we would have seen something right?

I think so?

Personally, I think it's funny when characters drop info like having a twin, and it's never explained further or played out like a massive gag, lol

My personal crack theory is that Sedo is actually Prontos twin, but Pronto refuses to call him his brother in public and that Sedo isn't even Sedo's real name, its like, Armando or some shit but he changed it for whatever reason.

Pronto acknowledges and tells people he has a twin brother but never says it's Sedo. Sibling rivalries, am I right?

Is all seriousness had the show continued they could have shoe horned Prontos Twin as a one-time character and never bring him up again.

It would be chaos for the Gang because 'Dear Shadows- there's now two of them'

All in all, the creators had a setup for a plethora of fun stuff they could have done, like the Twin being evil, or chill, or hell a better tracker than Pronto causing some jealousy and leading to a fun little lesson about being good enough as is or something along those lines.

the more will shane discourse the better!

Chat if you know what SlugTerra is,, I FW YOU SO HARD DUDE..

I'm gonna smooch yah if you also adore this fandom, literally my childhood.. This and NINJANGO,, and a bunch of other cartoons

blehh,,

I also made a slug oc sooooooo yippee!!

Pick Your Table - Chapter 1 - Mister Rose (MrRose) - Slugterra [Archive of Our Own]

I wrote this in about 24 hours.

i scare myself sometimes.

ch1 is Twist x Eli, ch2 will be Junjie x Eli. Eli is very aspec. Twist is very morally fragile. i cried twice writing this. i forgot to eat. i couldn't sleep.

so yeah chapter 2 will come out...at some point. Enjoy!

I'm a tad apologist. I love the HELL out of Tad being Blakk's kid because a)it adds some damn horrifying context to will Shane and Blakk's history (how he know about the surface, was he up there???) and b) It thematically makes the blakk family feel like a threat to the Shane LEGACY, not just to two Shane's of 2 eras. let's be so honest - Tad just needed more time. Like, imaging if the show ended after ghoul from beyond? We'd all have much of the same complaints about Junjie and the eastern caverns, knowing little about them as they effect everything of the lore we've learned up till that point. But then they spend some wonderful 30+ eps on the topic and hey, Junjie is now everyone's wife. So...

yeah I think if they had more time, we would've gotten so much of the surface talk, and it would have pushed Eli's character by miles.

It’s so strange to think that like…on an inherent level Tad and Eli would understand each other better than anyone else in slugterra regardless of their surface experiences or whether they like each other. I know they’re probably from the same area, but even in the off chance/AU where they aren’t, large cultural phenomena are going to be shared (e.g. memes, movies, tv shows, music, pop culture in general) as well as general information (I kinda headcannon that things like the age of the earth are unknown/miscalculated just because they don’t have rocks from 4 billion years ago to date, they don’t have fossils from the Cambrian explosion etc. You can know everything about gravity and light and physics but know nothing about biology just because it’s more physical evidence based than mathematical recreation) and finally shared experiences (similar school systems, being allowed to do x at y age etc).

I know a lot of the fandom don’t like tad for various reasons, but there’s so much to work with in terms of Eli finally having someone he can just say shit like “do you think the king of sling would like Elvis music?” And just be UNDERSTOOD. Being understood would probably heal something in Eli’s soul because he just hasn’t had that in YEARS. The gang are nice and well meaning, but the whole slugmas episode made it really clear they don’t share the same culture or experiences as Eli, on some level, they genuinely can’t understand or relate to him because of that. They’re his friends, they’re his family, but they’re not the same.

Idk man, something about the one person who could truly know you on a level others can’t just does something to me

I don't think it's strange at all. In fact, it adds a strange, yet sad, i wana say charm? When you go back as re-watch the show with this kind of context and mindset.

Eli, to us, acts rather normal and makes references to things we get on occasion, but compared to everyone else in cannon, it's weird and doesn't make sense.

There has been more than one occasion in the early episodes when Eli says something the others give him an odd look. For instance, Eli mentioned Halloween in DeadWeed, and because Slugterra doesn't have a Halloween/anything equal to it, it's a weird thing to say, and Eli has to lie about it.

For an entire year, even after telling the Gang about the Surface, Eli Shane basically has to keep a part of himself locked away. Sure he can talk to the rest of the team about his home up top, but it's not the same as actually talking to someone about something familiar.

Slugterra may be his home now, but it will never change the fact he used to belong topside, and that try as he might, there are going to be things he misses.

So when Tad comes along, it's not just a new friend, or member, it's a connection to a world he cut himself off from. And Eli is so excited by notion of having someone to talk to, that he can relate to on a more personal level. Talk about holidays, sports, video games ect-

But a sad fact to that is that Eli has been gone a year, which means Tad is going to bring up things he had no idea even happen in the year he's been in Slugterra.

So, while it's awesome to talk to someone who can truly understand you, it doesn't change the fact that there is a disparage in common information or even interests, for that matter!

A lot can happen in 12 months. And while people can live on the same block, they experience things differently.

It doesn't change the fact that Eli is genuinely happy to have Tad around and a part of the gang because he gets to talk to someone like him and share his experiences. Form a different kind of bond.

This is why it probably hurts even more when Tad betrayed the Shane Gang when compared to Twist.

...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...

i'm not writing this exact scene, but i am writing something very similar.

...lowkey, ive been writing for 12 hours straight....

Going back to the questions that tad and twist are in how much you want to bet that when junjies comes to visit and brings his master with him ( to see the western part) twist instantly gets ptsd just from seeing her?

Yes

Twist is not okay he has not been okay, and seeing Junjie's Master, Lian is not helping him.

Obviously, he knows they are different people, but they look alike. And for the entire visit, Twist can't look Lian in the eyes and does not want to be left alone in a room with her.

He needs therapy so badly

Eventually, I think he gets cornered and has a mini breakdown about his part in what happened to Unbeatable Master Shanai and his overall guilt.

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 pet peeve is I think everyone is using "filler" inaccurately.

a distant shore is such a good episode GOD

and actually, does this help explain Pronto's weird actions in slugfu showdown? Maybe the Shane gangs gotten used to just BLASTING their actual activities/unnecessary noise on the slugnet to cover for any burning world catastrophes that, when they got the elementals, pronto was like "why should we keep this a secret??? it'll confuse people, maybe they'll start to think the shane secrets were about the elementals??? I was throwing them off!" And like, still not the smartest, but a better explanation!!!

Do you think after the events of a distant shore that the Shane gang developed a shared excuse for what the Shane secret is? Like in case they ever get put in another Gar situation, they all have a shared lie that the bad guy ™️ can cross reference separately between them and get the same story

E.g . They’ve all decided that the fake Shane secret is that there’s a secret 100’th cavern and the only way to get there is with a shadowclan escort (explains why will had that shadowclan stuff and where the Shanes disappear to)

Considering how Eli was acting and the fact Gar more then likely spilled the Journal belonged to Jimmo Shane, yeah, they probably came up with a fake Shane Secret to cover for the real one as a just in case measure.

Granted the majority of Gar's highered help turned on him the moment Eli destroyed the Journal, it doesn't erase the fact a Shane went out of their way to stop whatever Gar was doing, steal something of value and then burn it to ash to prevent others from reading it.

Let alone the fact that something of value being the Journal of a former Shane, and possibly containing the answers to anything about Slugterra or the Shane family.

No doubt Gar posted, and is still posting what he knows on the SlugNet, and other Burning World truthers as well. And this isn't covering the potential in universe crack theory that spawned from Elis actions in A Distant Shore that the Shane's have a connection to the Burning World because why else would a Shane risk everything like that if it wasn't important?

The gang going out of their way to cover it up further and make fake leads is a real possibility.

They would want to create as much doubt and spread as much false information they can in the aftermath of something like that. Maybe even make a few fake accounts and post nonsense on speculation sights to throw ppl off.

one of my fav things to thing about is why the Shane's were entrusted w the surface knowledge. Like I have a bunch of theories, many of which I will write on ao3...eventually.

the Shane's could've done what Yang did, only in the context of native Americans/settlers in the new world who needed to escape the surface for whatever reason. The Shane's could have used to be kinda evil, using surface knowledge to give themselves money and power and keep a hold of Slugterra, till one generation decided to be heroes instead. Maybe the portals were used and the worlds knew of each other, but then some big war w the SC and dark bane closed off all their hope of conscious peace, so the shadow clan allowed only the families they trusted to know and keep track of everything and foil any plans of integration. And MAYBE, this is why the shadow clan and master shanai don't exactly worship the shame name; they consciously make Eli prove his worth of being a shane that can do that, and will choose others if necessary. But yeah, they separated a looooooong time ago.

but the cool things is that we're playing with THOUSANDS OF YEARS of history. All THREE can be canon. Maybe the Edwardian Shane's fucking sucked and killed people. Maybe the Shane's during the colonial era saw native Americans and woman prosecuted and were like "bro u wanna run away? we can help!". ....you know what just happened, w me writing this out? If the Shane family has been strictly blood relations and Eli's fam goes back 2k years, Eli has to be Native American.

wAIT MAYBE THATS WHY THE SHANES SUPER CLOSED OFF THE SURFACE, LIKE THEY SAW PPL GETTING REALLY SICK 1400S ONWARD AND THEY DIDNT WANT A PLAGUE OF MEASLES TO TAKE OUT SLUGTERRA. okay this took a turn.

what is this reblog I'm so sorry

Is there any sort of fannon (or even better, cannon) timescale for slugterra? Everyone in the 99 seems to have genuinely forgotten what the surface is like, which would take a while. There are irl stories that use constellations that mention stars that don’t exist anymore, stars have died before we forgot. Not to mention the weirdly accurate visuals Gar had of surface cities. So does anyone know when the 99 caverns officially got “cut off” from the surface?

Was it a really really ancient separation that’s only been blurred once the Shane’s went down (or came up??? Idk) hence Gar’s accurate poster visuals? Like the “first Shane” just blabbed cause they didn’t realise that mixing the two worlds could be harmful? And their ancestors have just been eternally doing PR cleanup? Or was it a recent cut off that people have forgotten super fast somehow??

Trixie mentions in 'A Distant Shore' that her mom used to tell her stories about the 'Burning World'

ive always been under the impression that all myths and stories hold some truth to them, but over time the details get exaggerated, lost or changed to fit a given narrative the story teller wants to tell.

so while im not 100% sure about cannon info on the timeline of the Caverns and Surface being separated, I would bet it had something to do with the Terra Portals, Shadow Clan and the Dark Bane.

If the Surface and Slugterra interacted, there would be old text's, but because it's in an old language no one speaks and the art left over would be vague as hell, and there have probably been hundreds of artistic interoperations of what the Burning World might look like over the years, so the illustrations Gar has are probably his, and where most likely influenced by the pictures in Jimmo's journal depending on when he got it.

As for the Shane's, I think there one of a handful of people who know the full truth, and shared the story in full for generations.

this is a personal HC, but-

I think there was a war of some kind involving the people of Slugterra/Surface, the Shadow Clan and Dark Bane, hundreds of years ago, one that separated the Eastern and Western Caverns(Possibly a Northern and Southern Caverns as well), and caused the Terra Portals to become largely inactive for the most part, and in the aftermath the Surface and Caverns where left separated, but before contact was fully cut the Shadow Clan entrusted seiten people with the knowledge of how to get back underground because of what they did during the war to protect Slugterra, the Shane's being one of those families. over the years, more and more families forgot, or died out, leaving the Shane's one of the very few and possibly only ones that take the drop and still protect the Caverns all theses' hundreds of years later

again, pure headcannon with no real evidence

its a crazy rabbit whole to go down, and I would like to hear others thoughts on it from the community!

"oh wow i thought this fandom was dead" you ignorant slut no fandom is ever truly dead. there will always always always be at least three mentally unwell freaks on the internet irrelevant-posting about their little blorbo(s) who have not been relevant for fifty years. this is the way of the world and they are stronger than you will ever be you FOOL

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.

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

In the future where Eli and Trixie get married:

Eli: Yeah.

Trixie: Sisterhusbands!

Junjie: Sisterwives.

Eli: Okay, I can get down with that.
