Not The Mets Radio Making Me Cry...I Wanted A WS So Bad But Fuck It The Mets Have The Best Vibes In Baseball

HC about Mario Bravera

we know he went back to his show due to his cameo in Slug Fu Showdown. But when did he restart his career?

Lets ask another question. Blakk gained low-level employees as s2 went on because after the beast forge he consolidated his power and many people were probably forced to work for him. And we know the real reason why no new, high-level villains show up near this end - as a show, its not wise to introduce too many new characters at once, especially at the climax of the story. BUT, still, it does ring suspicious that, other than more regular guards, there's no more well-known slingers who turned to Blakk's side.

UNLESS: Mario Bravara's show. He didn't start slinging again quite yet, but unlike the shane gang, relying on the shane status but still obviously run by kids, he had a cultural pull. AND, c'mon, he was famous and gave that up - anything he did while returning to the spotlight would be worldwide talked about.

I think he restarted his show, and didn't exactly go the Trixie route and gain footage from the warring caverns - he did interviews with Blakk Inc. survivors. Imagine? Celebrity comes around out of nowhere, just as charismatic, and this time, there's a deadweed minor talking about how he's had breathing problems since blakk inductries basically killed him, took him away from his family, and left him to rot. Next week: a mother who was forced to sign away her home for the Slugterran Express. Gretchel and his crew, describing in horrific detail the quick and for all we know deadly attack on the beast forge. Scientist staring in horror at the data coming out about dying caverns and what ghouls do to their homes, their caverns, and their resources as a society. The Lumino Ore minors with guns pointed at them as they still surrendered their rights. ALL these stories, on blast.

Maybe it wasn't helping Eli directly, but the publicity maybe helped the West move on quicker than it would have if Blakk's war crimes were left buried. And stopped more better shooters from joining Blakk's cause - Blakk has the greedy shooters, but maybe Mario prevented more fame-and-people-pleaser-hungry shooters from joining, too.

ONE SCENE LEFT TO WRITE FOR REALS THIS TIME

sneak peak because my writing notes often read like shitposts:

Eli: "Oh. Lemonade mix."

*montage of tad making better lemonade mix than the supermarket brand*

*eli, dramatically, starts crying"

This, but for my 50 minute ST presentation!

And all my like 5 unfinished works on ao3 (JANUARY, PEOPLE, I WILL POST NEW CHAPTERS IN JANUARY)(EXCEPT FOR THE SLUGTERRA SECRET SANTA I SIGNED UP FOR IM NOT LEAVING STOCKINGS EMPTY FOR CHRISTMAS)(THAT WOULD BE EVIL)

Reblog the writers’ fortune cookie for luck!

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.

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!

Have a little guy bc I've been thinking about Slugterra recently

In honor of my friend binging Slugterra with me: she wanted memes, and I had a few ideas.

this actually opens up quite a world of potential. C.C., in the trade, really makes it seem like he was chill being a good duelist but then saw the writing on the wall and wanted to be on the winning side of things (not unlike twist???). But maybe, after trying to be super chill w his coworkers but also seeing some of the inner workings he's like "wait....maybe I can be famous and have fun some other way, I don't think this world they're building would let me be that prominent a figure" he changes sides. I don't see him living w the gang, or even changing sides that long before s2's finale, but as a rich guy going w the flow, having a tiny little, lukewarm change of heart? He could absolutely end up on the good side, and once he's there in a shallow way could realize "oh these kids got a heart and soul, it's kinda nice actually", and start having a bit of a backbone!

Also I'm so real, I could see Mario and C.C. having a friendly duel rivalry? Mario, charismatic and a marksman to the bone. C.C., rich and also in the public eye, who may fare better with team shooting matches. For all we know, maybe they DID have a rivalry pre-Mario's pizza era. fuck it, will x Blakk is mainstream and CC x Mario enemies to lovers is the true rare pair -

Going back to Eli giving people a second chance( like twist and tad) I want C.C to also be redeemed. Why because 1. He is a really good slinger and 2. He would give the Shane gang info on old buildings that Blakk used for ghouling slugs.

And if he were to be in the Shane gang how would that play out?

Oh my gosh-

I think everyone(minus Eli) would be, suspicious.

If C.C. decided, "Oh yeah, hey, you know what, Blakk is actually insane, I need an out like NOW" and the joined the Shane Gang, I think the distrust will play out differently depending on when he joins up with them.

If C.C. joins Pre The New Kid, Kord, Trixie and Pronto are going to be sus of him. Because you know what, C.C. literally did side with Blakk for the paycheck, and the power, so him suddenly switching sides is, you know, suspicious. Eli obviously, isn't all that suspicious of C.C. and genuinely thinks the older Slinger is trying to be a better person.

If he joins post The New Kid, no one, is having it, especially if the switch happens post Lightwell.

They got betrayed, so badly, that it's hard for the Gang to trust someone they don't already know, and are positive won't work for Blakk willingly.

Eli is hesitant it trust C.C. after everything without Twist, and after what happens to Burpy. But if he can see C.C. being sincere, and actually want to fix things, he'll entertain C.C. joining them on missions, but not living in the Hideout, till everyone is on the same page.

And when they do finally trust C.C. it's honestly nice having a former pro circuit Duelist on the team.

(Add another brother to the list for Eli, lmao)

C.C. is also apparently a Nepo baby, as in, he's rich, so, excuse to see his rich family, and him casually just, pay for things like the Gang isn't living reward payout to reward payout.

And yeah, before leaving Blakk Industries, the guy is getting his hands on anything and everything of use he can, from Blaster and Mecha mods, to every piece of data he can download to help expose and bring Blakk down.

just finished My Babysitters a Vampire

the lore. The dialogue. RORY. The everything. Adored this show, now if you'll excuse me, I shall visit its ao3 for...a little while. I recommend it to everyone with a pulse. Watch it. For Rory!!!!

Imagines the Slugs pop up in Gravity Falls?

I'm just imagining gravity falls having The Drop....yeah, that makes sense.

I think if they showed up without any talking slugterrans the slugs would just be seen as another creature/monster/anomally. Plus, if they stay in protoform, how would the town even know they can transform? they'de be kept secret well there, tho. They'de be a footnote in that towns history tbh. Out of all the places on the surface to know about the slugs, or even Slugterra, gravity falls is like best case scenario.

(btw I haven't watched it in like 7 years and barely remember it it's on my rewatch list - sorry if I'm forgetting stuff)
