They Only Pop Off When Facing Elimination So We Might Have A Chance I NEED A SUBWAY WS IM MY LIFETIME

Best RPF Ship - FINAL!

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 cope by making memes im sorry

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.

and that isolationist plot contrasted well with season 3!!!

i swear, im so fascinated by the shane gang's political power, yet also their political separation. i think its a shane thing! the ynags fought with other heroes of peach blossom spring cavern, their teacher stayed in their cavern and is implied to have stayed by jun's side for a while. its specifically the SHANES, with few allies and of those allies Will losing like half of them, with a dissapearing master and a distant shadow clan, where the shanes stand mystically ALONE. as if the very BRAND was a lone op hero shooting bad guys. like omfg, eli broke this cycle by even HAVING A SHANE GANG. AND TELLING THEM THINGS.

if slugterra continues, i want him breaking that legacy. gain allies in mario, and quentin, and the gentleman, and stocker, and dana, and omfg, everyone who wants to fight for good.

Going back to redeem characters who else do you know would be redeemed? And why?

Honest?

I don't really know-

There are a lot of fun minor antagonists, all of which have their own charm.

But if I had to pick just one, it's would be Quintin

Quintin, as explained in Robo Slugs, wasn't originally a bad guy. He was just traumatized by being trapped in that Slug Pit as a kid.

He ended up with what if think was a justified phobia of Slug, thus leading him to make the Robo Slugs. But because of Slugterras' overall culture around Slug's, he was constantly laughed at and mocked for wanting to make the artificial Slugs. No one took him seriously.

Him going full Power Rangers Villain in Futuria Cavern was just, him providing his inventions where not a waste of time.

I mean, he did go about it the wrong way, don't get me wrong, Quintin was so in the wrong, but he wouldn't have been pushed to that point if the other scientist fucking listened to him, and actually took into account just how much research and innovation went into Robo Slugs(they are objectively cool)

And by the end of Robo Slugs, when Eli dumped that Slugs on Quintin, and the Slugs saved him from being crushed by the Mecha Mechas, Quintin, seemingly gets over his fear, at least enough that when he's recruited by Blakk, he doesn't mined working in close proximity to Ghouls, or firing them out of the Titan Tank.

I believe the reason Quintin sides with Blakk isn't just because Blakk bailed him out of jail time, but because Blakk, actually was interested in his work and what he was capable of, in comparison to the scientist from Futuria Cavern who brushed him off. Which is why he was so willing to make the Titan Tanks to begin with and probably even help refine the Gatling Blasters.

Should Quintin be redeemed, I want it to start off with him realizing, Blakk don't actually care about him, but what he brings to the table, his inventions.

Blakk piling on more and more and more work on Quintin, to the point Quintin asks for, like a few hours to just sleep and Blakk snapps threatening to haul Quintin back to Stalagmight 17 himself if he doesn't comply.

This leds to Quintin doing small acts of rebellion by delaying projects, putting in more obvious weak points in the Titan Tanks, to full on sabotage.

Eventually, probably around the aftermath of 'Light as Day' while Blakk is still in the Deep Caverns, Quintin takes as much shit as he can, and leaves Blakk Industries, settles in a new Cavern under a new identity, and lives a more regular life as a local inventor who helps out fixing stuff, and making things.

I see him being an informant as well, like leaking info anonymously about Blakk Industries on forums for the Shane Gang or anyone else who wants to take the fight to Blakk themselves.

is that a half a block of cheese on the table?

...it took 11k words to introduce junjie into the juneli fanfic....
