I Just Had A Shocking Epiphany About Slugterra Lore And Went To An Old Post To Rant About It But @temperance-sunlight

Time for a Barbecue!

Personally, Latino Eli's food would be too spicy for my white ass; old man Trixie would be gossiping about me as I served the cheeseburgers; Kord is my man, knows cpr and can make friends quickly. Who would you choose?

OUCH

If you've ever procrastinated on finishing a Tron fanfiction, or just left it unfinished, take solace in the fact that you're being true to the franchise.

okay I understand this is my really niche interests coming together and it's just me

but I REALLY wanna write a slugterra fic someday where Annie Oakley is relevant because she's my hero and idk there's a lot of parallels of what her real life was like to the situation in slugterra and i love her she is my queen and i want more ppl to know about her

but if I never do, please, ppl, READ THE ANNIE OAKLEY WIKI PAGE I LOVE HER AND YOU WILL TOO

like I'm imagining Eli just being like "oh yeah Annie Oakley! by the time she was my age her dad died when she was eight and she hunted for a living and used her skill to join a circus-like act to flee from the slavery her mom accidentally sold her into, and used her quickly made fame and talent to pay for her family's mortgage, and then her, her Irish husband (though they read like an aspec couple), her adopted Native American chief father (the one who led the last major Native American uprising in the US, yeah, THAT ONE), and all her homies spent their lives teaching marksmanship to a reported over 15000 woman and fought for the suffragettes and almost killed Wilhelm (this would have stopped WW1) and basically chilled out their whole lives while also being oddly intertwined in American politics. Plus she had a rival in the circus troop who also hated her guts for no reason! But Annie was a better shot so everyone took her side. So yeah she's a bit inspirational to me"

but that doesn't read like fanfiction it reads like plagiarism of the wiki page! I just wanna insert all the things I love into my art I'm so FUSTRATED THIS SHOULD BE WORKABLE INTO A STORY. Any plot bunnies are appreciated.

before there was slugterras Wild West and Eli Shane, there was the American Wild West and Annie Oakley :)

EVERYONE: I need HC imput

Pronto absolutely sleeps with incense burning. This is important for Pick Your Table Chapter 2. What scents would be his favorite?

Currently, I think he likes Lavendar candles. Would he also like earthly-toned smells? Or maybe he'd like high-class-sounding smell names? any answers yall give ill probably name drop in the fic, thx yall :)

this is SUCH a good point. I've been meaning to skim through the show and make a proper timeline as to where every event happened in the span of the year, because its bananas. Maybe (probably) Eli is just as fustrated as we are that he hasn't actively been searching but hey, he fought blakk then found Junjie then had to learn slug fu then had to help defeat the emperor and aid the east and then RIGHT when they may have time they find Tad the Traumatized Child and they had to spend time helping him and finding him...and part of the reason why I wanna make the timeline is actually for the will happy birthday son scene. I wanna know how long after tad's fall that happened, because if it was a day it makes it more emotional for eli to know he's got family even after the betrayal, and if it was a while it means they HAVE lied low, probably scarred by the new kid they spent at least weeks helping out leaving them.

I just really want a canon moment where eli's like: "you know what? I'm calling up my allies, you deal w the small stuff. I'm taking a trip to the shadow clan and learning stuff." Or, like, commits his free time to it, making small trips around slugterra ("I'll visit that hideout under the falls this weekend", "maybe I can look thru the rubble in molemound for a few days", that type of thing). We're at a point in the narrative where he would do that, and BECAUSE of his search shit and plot happens, not the other way around. It would be a good way to progress this story, just like how the eastern cavern twist provided another slug-filled culture in the east and gave the Gang a new perspective on how energy and tech and legacy and heroism functioned.

Because I'll never forget how, when the emperor showed up, Junjie had fellow fighters, and even shadow clan. Meanwhile, he shanes have been blasted into slugterra hell, AND fought blakk...basically by their own, at least for the major battles. Their openess to tad, to me, is in part because they saw that in the east and went "oh, maybe allies, even if theyre not in the gang particularly, as actually pretty useful".

Long rant aside, that what I wished for eli and the gang; make allies, stabilize the region and have helpers, then take the extra time in the schedule to breathe, get therapy, and learn the will shane lore. Cause yeah, if the shane gang are the main emergency force in this world and them alone, they're never gonna have time to save will! Duh!

another addition to the will Shane discussion

...I'm gonna be SO clear about this: this is NOT the fault of Eli, obviously. He's a kid and trying his best.

but, when Eli got to Slugterra, he COULD have made it his life's mission to find out what happened to his dad, or find all the secrets that supposedly died with him. He didn't. He took up being the Shane and left the past buried unless it smacked him in the face in some current situation. He never once looked for what his dad left him, didn't even go looking for Will's remaining allies. They all just found him, and he only went searching when he needed to - Redhook, the elementals, etc...

it could also be that Will left some things, as much as he could (tho he still should've told him stuff about his enemies), but Eli wasn't interested in unearthing it. He wanted to move on, make a path for himself and not focus on what happened. That could also influence why he never even looks for his dad - he wants to, but he's been in a "look to the future" mindset for so long it hurts to look back and realize all he's missed out on in being a Shane.

personally, I think he did take the right route. That would have driven him insane, and he knew that. There's something really refreshing about such a possibly vengeful character strictly choosing to be a force for good and stick to current bad guys instead. Just...remember. We got no will/Slugterra answers partially because Eli never truly looked for them. I think he was going to...but in the future, when the current fires are put out. Or after therapy, whichever came first.

unironically? Avatar the last airbender. instead of slugs channeling powers, it would be humans, who can only do the core 4 of the elementals, and do not have the chi necessary for the energy elementals power (though the more powerful benders can utilize some of it). eli's family are non-benders, hence them mainly being heroes in the underground. Interesting creatures live above and below the ground. Yang could have been a fire bender, hence the origins of slug-fu. maybe both the shanes and the yangs have had the avatar in their family at some point, and their lasting legacy is why they became the protectors. shanes have to stop the 2 worlds from meeting, and from the people of slugterra learning how to bend, since the magic of slugterra elevates the bending power, and people would get hurt from bad actors, or people trying to learn and hurting themselves. And a plot could be that some air nomads escaped the genocide into slugterra discreetly, or that during the 100 years, the shanes have had to convince MANY refugees to not practice bending in from of the slugterran natives, or damn what if the fire nation found slugterra and attacked? oooo, and what if as part of avatar training, the avatar and trusted advisors alone know of the shane's mission, so aang meets shanes from 100 years ago but dont learn where the entrance is, and due to 100 years of war the shane family has dwindled to will and young eli, and eli as a non-bender helps out in the war against Ozai, and then in return a few years later aang helps eli when he's the only one left and keeps watch of the surface for him, and even goes down to slugterra for the s2 finale, or defeating YET ANOTHER emperor, or teaching junjie to fire bend sometimes, and maybe tad could be sent back up to help a sligtly older aang instead of fall into the deep caverns, im thinking too hard about this-

If you wanted to do a crossover with slugterra what show would you do? For me personally it’s storm hawks ( obviously) and the other one is Ninjago ( because of the elements and the ninjas)

What do you think?

Okay- yeah crossover between SH and Ninjago would be fun, I actually remember reading a Danny Phantom and Slugterra Cossover fic(it was short lived but cool concepts-)

there is a three way Crossover fic series between Slugterra, MaxSteel(2013) and Hot Wheels: Battle Force Five. on fanfic.net

dwouebihia;ojs Cossover fics/one shots are fun as hell

but if there was like, one thing, I would pick for my own crossover, it would be Martin Mystery

the vibe of that show just fits, and because Martin Mystery is canonically in the Totally Spies universe(and by proxy The Amazing Spiez) that means my girls, kids, and mystery solving team can find themselves down in Slugterra as well, trying to stop a supervillain along side the Shane Gang from trying to take over/exploit the 99 Caverns
