ONE SCENE LEFT TO WRITE FOR REALS THIS TIME

WAIT WAIT WAIT

episode 1, when Will's being sucked in. He crosses his arms and holds onto burpy close. GUYS HE WAS TRYING TO KEEP HIS BANDOLEER FROM FLYING INTO THE DEEP CAVERNS AND THE ONLY ONE HE COULD SAVE FROM THE FORCE WAS BURPY.

you know, i've been saying eli and the gang make their money/living by being slugnet influencers, plus kord's actual job as a field tech...I think Kord's family could be helping out too. Like, sending money when things get tight, and maybe being part of the reason why the Gang eat so many snacks on screen in the hideout. Not to mention, their supplies could have been a major godsend in the Bandoleer of Brothers era where the Shane Gang could barely even move across Slugterra safely.

Also, how does this translate to when Junjie comes into play? Are they just like "omfg A SECOND CHILD TRYING TO BE AN ADULT???" and they send him books on Western Cavern culture and spirituality and slinging history and also more treats and a little money because he's gotta make a living somehow in the West while trapped and he has nothing to his name??? like. Damn. these peeps should be important side characters!!!

Seeing your last post how much you want to bet Kords family( even if we never got to know or see them) would try to adopt Eli,Trixxe, and maybe pronto ( might be a little stretched)

Because I feel Kord would go on and on about his teammates whenever he got a chance to contact his family and seeing that makes them feel happy knowing their son/brother is doing well.

What do you think?🤔

Honestly, I think the chances are pretty high, especially for Eli.

Like imagine

"Hey ma, pa, sorry for not calling,"

"No worries Kord, we saw the news"

"So it's true, your out slinging with Will Shane's son!"

"Yeah, yeah! Trying to take down Blakk and all that"

"What's Eli Shane like son?"

"Oh, uh he's a good kid, little odd, but that's given for a Shane."

"How is he?"

"What?"

"Kord Zane! That boys father is dead and he's stepping into the man's shoes to try and fill them! Did you seriously not ask if he was okay? Or offer your condolences???"

"IM SORRY!"

"That's it! What's the address of this Hideout? I'm sending that boy a care package!"

Trixie is just happy to be there, talking with Kords mom and dad, they remind her of her own

While Eli is just trying not feel like he's intruding. Boys got major mommy and daddy issues. And he does not want to project but after a hot minute he relaxes.

I would like to think Kords parents send the gang individual care packages every few weeks.

Pronto would probably get the weird uncle/family friend treatment tbh

I read every single page of the 99 caverns wiki for slugterra and all their side pages. And then, the known eastern caverns pages. I made a master document to keep track of 1)what has canonically happened there, 2)what the place is like, 3) what resources it has, 4) what things happened there that we can infer from other information, and 5) where it is on the map because THERES NO CANONICAL MAP.

speaking of which, I really need to make the map. most of it will be unimportant, but sometimes, it's the journey that matters most. I got new fic ideas from some of the stuff.

memes are fun and relatable and all that, but don't let them discourage you. all of that stuff that doesn't make it into the final product is part of how the final product gets made

I can't keep having the same conversations about love languages, mbti, iq, bmi, "brain fully formed at 25" and shit over and over again...

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!]

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

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.

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!!!

@temperance-sunlight and @a-sad-mage, u both make all fantastic points. I really like the idea of the non-nuclear family, and the importance of who raises kids over who has them, and no real world-wide custom in Slugterra! and like, religion is fascinating w the Shadow Clan. and omfg, no one tried to claim they were a shane!!! I chalked that up to maybe the ppl being suspicious of the Shane's and their secrets and skill and whatnot, so no one would dare mess with them, but yeah no what if property and stuff just doesn't legally operate so everyone would call bs on that immediately? We saw that eli had to prove himself over a long tournament.

oooo, the rabbit holes....

horrifying thought for the day:

*takes big breathe* HOW DOES MARRIAGE WORK IN SLUGTERRA?!?

like, how do our religious and secular norms of things translate to down there? How does it legally affect couples in terms of owning property? And healthcare?!?

honestly, do they HAVE marriage as a concept legally? It's pretty anarchist/capitalist down there. Would they even HAVE a legal mechanism to tie 2 ppl together like that?

...genuinely, maybe they don't, or only some caverns do.
