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.
LGM!!!
can't wait to explain this to my kids in the future
good, I can work tomorrow without crying. Cherish your pumpkins, make purple milkshakes, and thank the lord above that didn't listen to a single one of us who wanted Pete gone.

Daily reminder we never see any farmers in Slugterra, and there's only so much Slugterra terrain that isn't shadow clan territory, so when there isn't a canon cavern in any specific region I'm just assuming that's where they make food.
So: ive headcanoned that Trixie comes from a farming village since season 1.
anywho, time to have a heart attack for at last 9 innings.
more proof

WORTH EVERY PENNY
truth is, I'm a Mets fan, and while thats not a big deal usually, this week has been a goddamn MOVIE PLOTLINE and all my free time has been devoted to keeping up with 2024 Met Lore.
for example: few days ago Pete Alonso and his wife went pumpkin picking and he brought a "lucky pumpkin" with him for the game that evening and he gushed about it being like a baseball in an interview.
gosh this team is running on dorks and memes its wonderful
bless every animator who worked on eli's facial expressions fr
Something i made cause I can't take it anymore but thankfully slugterra and some other fandoms keeps me alive :)

This healed my Tron: Uprising trauma
I'm once again contributing to the tron fandom
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
i love this community, thank you @a-sad-mage
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☆.
I just have a theory
The molls TOTALLY dug the Drop, right? From the few times we see it, its a tunnel downward, and the marks on the sides perfectly match the mole tunnels and every time Pronto digs through earth. It also matches the tunnels made by the crystal worms; which makes me think the moles made the drop by pulling a Pronto and riding the worms to make it.
Somewhere in the Slugterra Timeline, Moles made at least one access point to and from the surface; may or may have not been in collaboration with the Shane family. Probably after (or in preparation for???) the elemental portal being turned off for 1000 years. I guess other species's could have ridden worms to make such a long and complicated tunnel, but Moles involvement is further supported by the Vault of Knowledge map having the Drop on it - like yes that's mole knowledge, they MADE that passageway on purpose long ago.
It also makes you wonder who sealed the Vault of Knowledge away, using the same method Will Shane used to protect HIS secrets.
Moll lore keeps me up at night okay, there's a REASON I haven't updated To End a Legacy, its because I want my understanding of the lore to be top notch before I advance the plot too much lol
this is my first reblog on tumblr and I don't regret it :) this is canon now lol
The Mall Cavern is like the best place for a four-way(or five-way) story.
Just think about it.
The gang walks in, and they all have their own plans.
Trixie is in a video camera store because she needs to get her camera lens fixed but the clerk keeps trying to get her to by a new one.
Kord is looking at new mecha and blaster mods gets into a minor disagreement with another grearhead.
Pronto is window shopping for fancy stuff and probably haggling for cheaper prices.
Eli is just walking around, seeing whatever catches his eye. Probably gets recognized by a few people, like other customers and staff. People keep trying to get him to buy their favorite product or buy from their store(because having a Shane buy from you is such a big deal), and he just politely refuses.
And the Slugs just get into slug shenanigans. (Obligatory something gets blown up with them)
The episode ends with Eli being called over the Malls intercom to come collect the rest of his team from Mall jail.
This is because;
Trixie punched the clerk trying to up sell her.
Kord 'accidentally' broke the blaster of the guy he was having a disagreement with during a little impromptu competition to see who could best mod a balster(he put a glitter bomb in the main accelerator)
Pronto got busted for being a cheapskate when one of the cashiers got fed up with him
And the Slugs, the Slugs, just fall through a vent conveniently just as Trixie, Kord, and Pronto are being let out.
Alternatively, the gang gets called to Mall jail to pick up Eli because in an attempt to hide from people, he accidentally ends up stealing a minor trinket he forgot to put back on the shelf/pay for.
Edit to add: when Eli is sent to Mall jail, he learns his dad got arrested for very similar reasons, the security guard straight up show him a photo of Will Shane behind bars. Eli is allowed to keep a copy
Team as family and domestic stuff is all I'm saying.

Fun fact: my friend thought cave trolls didn't exist in the eastern caverns for 6 episodes because she thought Hamengku was a HUMAN because he wasn't the RIGHT SHADE OF BLUE. I love Slugterra.
Also, happy slugtember! Consider these posts an apology for missing half of it :)
