It's Actually Confuzzling Me Rn, What That Average Slugterran Knows.

I BEG YOU TO READ HER WIKI PAGE

honestly, i only know her because in America if you look like a girl and can shoot well its our sacred tradition for the coach/range officers to call that girl "annie oakley" at least once a month and explain who she is to the unsuspecting kid lmaoooo, I was called annie oakley so often that its lowkey the only time I like being seen as feminine :)

and at a range her whole thing is being the best shot in american history (at least the best popular one) and thats all i knew till, like, a few years ago, where i read her wiki and like BRO HER LIFE??? very wack, and she kinda seems cool on a moral level too!

here's her young (age kinda debated)

also she was kinda adopted by Sitting Bull and supported Indian Land rights which is cool

and here's possibly her last photo, w her dog and her husband Frank E. Butler (who she met when he challenged her to a shootout and she beat him)

wiki is decent, there's also the Annie Oakley Center Foundation here: Frequently Asked Questions About Annie Oakley

...how did I make that Annie Oakley post not realizing Mario bravado is obviously inspired by Annie Oakley and

THEREFORE a fic of his convo w blakk would be like the perfect way to explore the Annie Oakley parallels w Slugterra?!?

brb, I have so much to write-

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.

one of my first takes on tumblr was "kord knows CPR" and im so glad we circled back around to that again

Besides doc being able to heal them, if doc is not present who would be likely to have the most experience medically? Like doc has to have limits too cause he couldn't heal the master it seems

Kord would probably be the most experienced medical wise, and then it's Pronto then is Trixie and then Eli with the least medical experience once to take away Doc. But not my much

Kord, and every other Cave Troll typical end up working with machine's. While Cave Tolls have thick skin, I would imagine they still have safety protocols in place, and expect you to know about bit more than first aid, especially if any other resident of the Caverns that isn't a Cave Troll is involved. They are very aware not everyone is as durable as they are, and want to make sure they are prepared in case of an emergency. I wouldn't say Kord has like, 'doctor' level training, but he would count as a civilian medical aid, by that i mean, he is training to provide assistance in medical situations to the best of his ability so long as consent is provide by the patient.

Pronto is the king of Molemound and the tracker of the team, I would expect him to know some basics, and have knowledge on plants that are both harmful and beneficial.

Trixie is a Slinger, and knows basic first aid same with Eli, but she has more experienced than him simply because she's been Slinging longer than he has.

I would assume when Doc became a Gardian Slug and temporary left the team, everyone picked up medical training and are good with it to various degrees as there are different types of first aid training you can get, I should know, i did Emergency First Aid, CPR-AED-C training.

I'm not expected to know how to stich someone up, but I can help someone going through an OD or heart attack, and bandag wounds to help slow down bleeding till first responders arrive.

But yeah, I would think Kord has the most experience with medical stuff

Slugisode 36 is genuinely fascinating to me.

why did Eli's slugs get a purse for Eli. What's the occasion? why did they get a purse specifically? Eli was genuinely happy with it, was it because his slugs did something nice for him? Was it a gesture of companionship (maybe something not great happened to him before that?), or is the purse coded for something? like this wasn't a "haha guy got girl gift" thing because the gang takes it very literally. It's framed in a way that seems like it's supposed to tell us about these characters and their bonds but I can't crack the code.

the only 3 things I can grab from this are 1)"yay random acts of kindness! It's a kids show" 2) slugs think Eli would want a purse, fascinating and 3) this is lowkey a nod from the creators that the Shane gang are queer coded like WHAT DOES THIS MEDIA MEAN

So please give me ur slugisode 36 thoughts thanks :)

a distant shore is such a good episode GOD

and actually, does this help explain Pronto's weird actions in slugfu showdown? Maybe the Shane gangs gotten used to just BLASTING their actual activities/unnecessary noise on the slugnet to cover for any burning world catastrophes that, when they got the elementals, pronto was like "why should we keep this a secret??? it'll confuse people, maybe they'll start to think the shane secrets were about the elementals??? I was throwing them off!" And like, still not the smartest, but a better explanation!!!

Do you think after the events of a distant shore that the Shane gang developed a shared excuse for what the Shane secret is? Like in case they ever get put in another Gar situation, they all have a shared lie that the bad guy ™️ can cross reference separately between them and get the same story

E.g . They’ve all decided that the fake Shane secret is that there’s a secret 100’th cavern and the only way to get there is with a shadowclan escort (explains why will had that shadowclan stuff and where the Shanes disappear to)

Considering how Eli was acting and the fact Gar more then likely spilled the Journal belonged to Jimmo Shane, yeah, they probably came up with a fake Shane Secret to cover for the real one as a just in case measure.

Granted the majority of Gar's highered help turned on him the moment Eli destroyed the Journal, it doesn't erase the fact a Shane went out of their way to stop whatever Gar was doing, steal something of value and then burn it to ash to prevent others from reading it.

Let alone the fact that something of value being the Journal of a former Shane, and possibly containing the answers to anything about Slugterra or the Shane family.

No doubt Gar posted, and is still posting what he knows on the SlugNet, and other Burning World truthers as well. And this isn't covering the potential in universe crack theory that spawned from Elis actions in A Distant Shore that the Shane's have a connection to the Burning World because why else would a Shane risk everything like that if it wasn't important?

The gang going out of their way to cover it up further and make fake leads is a real possibility.

They would want to create as much doubt and spread as much false information they can in the aftermath of something like that. Maybe even make a few fake accounts and post nonsense on speculation sights to throw ppl off.

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)

What's TEAL? : 0

oh! "To End A Legacy," on ao3. I started it a while back. And I shorten it to "TEAL" constantly in my authors notes so I got used to just writing it like TEAL so my bad

im being so real:

i think pronto abandoned the mole king business because his brother was supposed to be king and he was free to do anything he wanted but then his brother died (why will shane knew "pinto" and not "pronto" - duh, pinto had to be important to mole society) and he had to take the crown...but from mourning and hating the job he ran away.

Speaking of moleniod is it weird we still haven’t seen pronto twin brother like at all? Like he was mentioned but that was about it, no photo or flashbacks, nothing of the source.

I feel like if the show had kept on going we would have seen something right?

I think so?

Personally, I think it's funny when characters drop info like having a twin, and it's never explained further or played out like a massive gag, lol

My personal crack theory is that Sedo is actually Prontos twin, but Pronto refuses to call him his brother in public and that Sedo isn't even Sedo's real name, its like, Armando or some shit but he changed it for whatever reason.

Pronto acknowledges and tells people he has a twin brother but never says it's Sedo. Sibling rivalries, am I right?

Is all seriousness had the show continued they could have shoe horned Prontos Twin as a one-time character and never bring him up again.

It would be chaos for the Gang because 'Dear Shadows- there's now two of them'

All in all, the creators had a setup for a plethora of fun stuff they could have done, like the Twin being evil, or chill, or hell a better tracker than Pronto causing some jealousy and leading to a fun little lesson about being good enough as is or something along those lines.

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

ITS ALONSO'S GRIMACE!!!!

the playoff pumpkin. rb for good luck this autumn.
