Another Addition To The Will Shane Discussion

the demons continue fighting. meanwhile, i have delivered more bad content.

enjoy the first 3 hours of piss poor crack video editing i have ever done. i am sure there will be more of dubious quality.

back to Slugterra Mode before the Met game for a sec

Daily reminder we never see any farmers in Slugterra, and there's only so much Slugterra terrain that isn't shadow clan territory, so when there isn't a canon cavern in any specific region I'm just assuming that's where they make food.

So: ive headcanoned that Trixie comes from a farming village since season 1.

anywho, time to have a heart attack for at last 9 innings.

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!!!

Tad, leading a battle against the shanes, but unable to stop himself in front of eli. "Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die."

What would make the whole “Eli and Tad being incomprehensible” thing even better would be if slugterra and the surface had different languages (like I think the alphabet implies??) and Eli and Tad just insult each other in surface language (probs just English) and refuse to translate. Doubly funnier if they meme at each other in English and just bust out laughing after shouting. So from everyone’s POV they just watched the Shane and Blakk yell angrily at each other in a mystery language before breaking into laughter at something that NO ONE will ever know about because they will not translate ever

(Context)

Yes, absolutely, and it causes much confusion because

Guys- you're supposed to be enemies??? What's with the secret language and inside jokes?!

Back on the murder train (I say jokingly)

And uh, how much we wana bet the Miners from DeadWeed tried to sue Blakk Industries for hazardous working conditions/tempted murder?

Because the Dark Water/Dark Water Vapor turned them into ghost/translucent ghoul monsters due to the direct exposure and lack of hazmat suits when they first breached the Dark Water vain.

Could you imagine, like the Gang (+everyone else) thought these people were dead-

Imagine what that might have been like for the family's-

Let's assume, at the least, it was like a year or so that the mine in DeadWeed had been used to farm Dark Water.

(Because I don't recall if a timeline was stated, pleas fact check me)

That is a whole ass year of people thinking their loved ones died in the Mines of DeadWeed, and a whole year of the Miners being stuck in the mines not being able to do anything other than chase away anyone who shouldn't be there, including family or friends that went looking for them to keep them safe, while also trying to stop Blakk's henchmen.

It's so sad???

And then, when the Shane Gang saves them, and their able to go home, imagine how different things might be?

Like, yeah, people are excited and overcome with joy/relief that the Miners are okay - but like, do you think some people might have moved on? Like, what if a miner had a wife and young kid? And the wife moved Cavers because she couldn't bare to be there anymore? Or if a miner was working to pay for a loved ones medical treatment and that loved one passed away? Or or-

[i need to shut up now because I'm getting sad]

There are consequences to the actions of Blakk Industries taking over the DeadWeed mine is all I'm saying, just like with everything Balkk Industries sinks it's hooks into.

The only reason that Blakk was able to stay in business is not just because Slugterra didn't have a Shane. No, that's a small part of it. It's because Blakk had the most richest, and powerful people in Slugterra on his side.

When Eli took the drop, it took close to a full year to scrub Blakks empire out even after this and 100+ other very illegal things were exposed about the company

You would think, after gunning down the Unbeatable Master, he would be arrested, Shanai was a respected individual, but nothing happened, and I just -

yup, I'm Mister Rose! Thanks for rebogging my work, I made it back before I had tumblr so it's possible the tumblr fam didnt know it existed lol

and awwwww, I'll check out my completely-not-from-you comment soon! Thank you!!!

MIND BLOWN FOR THOSE WHO WATCH RAISE OF THE ELEMENTALS

THE SCENE WGERE KORD ASKS ELI

(this is based of a 11 months old memory)

“You’re choosing him, over us?”

GESTURING TO ELI SEEMINGLY CHOOSING JUNJIES ADVICE/HELP/PLAN OVER THE SHANE GANG

Now that is out there, look at it from a romantic perspective

Someone choosing their new partner over their closest friends. They’re only family left that they found and built connections to life multiple lifetimes.

HOW GUT WRENCHING IT WOULD BE TO SEE YOUR BROTHER BY CHOICE CHOOSE A NEW BOYFRIEND/LOVER OVER YOUR FAMILY.

Not that it was that serious (as in never discussed further) BUT MY GOD THE ANGST

I’m so rewatching Elementals because I need to rewatch the scene in this light

...sorry ahead of time

@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.

Eli Shane and Junjie be like

staying strong

Flute shows up one time in Slugterra and I wanted to learn it lmao

and yes, pronto has the wrong fingerings and is using too much teeth. BUT, he only has 4 fingers so the instrument might just have different fingerings; it probably feels more like a baroque/medieval flute to play, which I admire from this character I otherwise am lukewarm to, since baroque flute takes alot more air and embrochure trickery than the modern metal flute I play here.
