Finally found the original source for Tad's age So debates over peeps; pick up your briefcases, courts out of session. Our boy is canonica

HOLY SHIT WE FOUND IT GO SEE THE POST LADS THEY FOUND OMFG OMFG OMFG-

THE GREATEST ARCHEOLOGIST OF OUR TIME!!!!

thanks, now I'm crying!

Ever think about how one of the rooms in the Shane Hideout technically belongs to Will,

So, like when Eli first scoped out the place, he probably stood in what was once his dads room for a solid five or ten minutes, taking in the dust covered room and all its stuff before getting the gear Will had left him.

And then when Trixie, Kord and Pronto like officially moved in and where claiming rooms for themselves they also saw what was once Will Shane's room, and how Eli just kinda avoided it by sleeping on the couch.

(because I hc there are like four actual bedrooms in the Hideout.)

And it takes like, a month to get Eli to not only clean out what was once his dad's old room but actually move into it himself?

And lest not think about the potential box/album of photos Will probably kept under his bed or something like that, and how those photos were of him and his son. (As well as some other personal items)

Let's not think about how Eli probably had to go out back and have a little cry before mustering up the energy to finish cleaning, out the room that was once his dad's, and is now his.

Let's not think about how Eli probably had to hide a lot of his dad's things, not just because he didn't want his friends to find them, but because they where to painful to look at.

...

Welp, i'ma head on off to bed now, night night!

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"

I love this and make a humble HC request:

Trixie would think about punching Will Shane, but decide instead to, when he lives with them, not tell him anything as payback. "Oh, the WiFi password? It's written down somewhere. What did Pronto make to eat? Have a taste to find out. What is it like in the Eastern Caverns? Alas, you must wait to visit them yourself...tragic"

"Kid, this is really not necessary and not efficient."

"...bummer."

Shane Gang head cannons #2 Electric Boogaloo

- part 1 -

Hero worship be damned, Kord will punch Will Shane

There are multiple stashes of snacks in the Hideout. Some are booby traped

There was a moment in time when Eli was so sleep deprived, he wore his clothes backwards and inside out, and no one said a thing

The Hideout, being rather old and not having been in proper use for a handful of years, needed quite a bit of repairs and upgrades. Yet, no one has bothering to fix the gutters.

There is a rat that lives in the Shane Hideout, it's name is Randy, and no one acknowledges him outside of saying 'hi' when the rodent is spotted.

Fun fact, there was a mouse in my house like three years ago, i also named him Randy. Unfortunately, Randy is now dead :(

The Slugs of the Shane Colony have had trials,

like actual 'court' trials.

Burpy by default is the judge unless he is to take the stand as a defendant, prosecutor, or witness, and in those cases, Doc or Stinky become the new judge.

Trixie has tried (and failed) to film Eli singing

Eli hated mushrooms pre Drop, now they just remind him of chicken when cooked right

Hero worship be damned, Pronto will punch Will Shane

Kord likes romance movies

Eli likes action comedy movies

Trixie likes horror and just well shot movies in general

Pronto also like romance movies, but well done rom coms are also good.

Eli brought his mp3 player from the Surface, it's filled with a bunch of his favorite songs,

If he's having trouble falling asleep, Eli will pop in his ear buds and listen to music form his mp3 player

Don't worry, the Slugs make sure to take the buds out when their Slinger falls asleep

Pronto insists on cooking with bugs, he says it's for extra protein.

He's, unfortunately, right.

Trixie has filmed and posted a bunch of videos to the SlugNet. It wasn't until she joined the Shane Gang that her channel gained more traction

Trixie has a prank compilation on her channel that is just a compilation of all the pranks the team pull on each other that she is able to catch on Camara

The most popular Prank video is just the rest of the Gang referring to Eli as anything but his name for a whole day. And the Shane is slowly losing his mind.

Once, while undercover, Eli got mistaken for a kid skipping school and was forced into a classroom at the local school

Eli, being Eli, didn't say anything until the rest of the team had to come pick him up.

This actually led to the discovery of an underground ghouling ring.

Apparently, one of the upper class men found a berral of Dark Water, and after some trial and error, found out how to ghoul slugs and started selling their ghouling services for illegal dules

When Junjie joined the team, it was extremely awkward

For a week, Junjie was on bed rest before feeling comfortable going out on missions with them.

Junjie has so far been the only one to eat Prontos cooking with no complaints about there being bugs in it.

Junjie gets hooked on Kisses From a Hoverbug, but dose not admit it

Everyone has tried to prank Junjie, key word try, no one has succeeded.

Lack of information be damned Junjie will deck Will Shane

Two weeks after Junjie joining the gang, they have to go to Caverna Mall to get cloths and other things for him.

It goes as well as you would expect

This is also where Junjies slugs get their first real tase of not only junk food, but absolute chaos as well.

Joo-Joo becomes the fourth judge of Shane Colony court

Joo-Joo becomes a tyrant judge

Its a collective agreement to put the Infurnus in time out(in a shell) till hes cooled off.

All of the Slugs of the Shane Colony are protective of Doc

They just knew Doc was important long before their Slingers did

Rookie pranks Junjies slugs with his exploding ball things. It's funny damn it.

There is now a new tally next to Eli and Burpys. It's for Junjie and Joo-Joo, and how many fires they start

It's currently in the dubbed digits

NO ONE TALKS ABOUT "THE GAME MASTER"

"The Jigsaw wannabe" as Eli would say.

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!]

i love this community, thank you @a-sad-mage

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☆.

writing Trixie is so hard for me idk why

like in my writing notes I have this one line highlighted: "just because youre not a girl anymore doesn't mean you have an excuse not to write them" and it hurts how true it is, i need to write woman and be more confident that im not one

but im THIS CLOSE. one scene left then i can edit and POST. SOMETHING. ON AO3. its been AGES. but its late and i leave home at 7AM. what do i do. this is impossible.

i cant just deprive yall of another prison scene, trixie backstory, and eli crying over tad's betrayal, like THIS NEEDS TO BE RELEASED

this is a cry for attention ppl, inspire me to actually do things, i'll be heating the oven for chicken nuggets and hopefully that will be enough to beat the depression away

i've been fleshing out a bunch of ideas for her backstory, hopefully that helps me be more solid about her character and how to write her easier

love thissssss agree 100%

hows each of the shanegang like depressed

I think some might different takes on this, but these are just mine

Eli, is one of those people who keep it to themselves. He doesn't like others seeing him sad, not because he thinks it makes him look weak, but because he doesn't want anyone to worry about him, and has this massive issue of setting aside his own problems and focusing on anything but his own problems. Like putting aside the search for his dad in favor of helping Junjie and the Eastern Caverns. (There is more context to that, but i swear every single time Will is brought up, Eli gets sad, then almost immediately perks up and redirects the conversation)

Speaking of Junjie, he's actually kinda the same way as Eli. In the early episodes of the Eastern Caverns arc, Junjie is having nightmares, and in ROTE, he admitted to as much as well to Eli in the garage, the difference is that the EC arc nightmares are worse, where as the ROTE one was probably a buried memory. He keeps shit to himself and trains to keep his mind off it.

When both Eli and Junjie eventually crash, they crash hard

Trixie also keeps it to herself, but she is more snippy and irritable. It's also kinda easy to tell when she's getting depressed because she's not filming or editing videos as often.

Pronto is eating his feelings. But not in the overly gross exaggerated way.

Kord buries himself in mechanic work. Troll's got to feel useful. He also gets in like a slump and is very clearly upset. I like to think Kord is like the most emotionally intelligent member of the Gang, so he is rather open about how he's feeling most of the time. But knows not to trauma dump, everyone in the Gangs got there own stuff to deal with.

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.

so i made a slugterra youtube channel

uh. here i guess, just uploaded this thing on it.
