Pick Your Table - Chapter 2 - Mister Rose (MrRose) - Slugterra [Archive Of Our Own]

also yell at me if I don't post a one-shot today thanks yall

YES MORE WILL SHANE THEORIES THANK YOU MY FRIEND!

Fantastic. I never thought about blakk's industrial tech in the lens of him knowing about the surface. Could he have read the journal and found some Shane trade secrets that could've keyed him in on some surface industrial methods?!? Fuck thats brilliant, that so could have happened I can see it.

Also...ugh, time to come out on tumblr but this is worth it. I'm an air rifle instructor irl and know a lot about firearms. I actually buy that the gattler is new to slugterra, because a)they're using crystal energy, similar to sun energy, and their blasters aren't set off by a hot strike/flame to gunpowder/release of intense pressure - so yeah rapid fire in quick succession would be very difficult while maintaining the life and accuracy of the blaster and b) the SURFACE didn't have the ability to manufacture safe magazines for like forever. For a very long time (and they still do today be safe yall) firearms can just...misfire. If you bumped it too hard. Or if you were riding a horse. I'm not a firearm manufacturer, but man, there were many prototypes to the firing mechanism before the common techniques found today. not to mention, gattlers are huge - there's a reason no one in the wild west used a big tank-like weapon, they needed something to travel light with. Blakk's gattler is huge and heavy and only useful in, like, heavy artillery battles. So I buy that gattlers weren't made sucessfully, or were made sucessfully but not many found use for them...till Blakk the capitalist came to town lol

but yeah if u or anyone got more thoughts on the "I owe him my life" line im all ears!!!

Will Shane.

the character I am drawn to in this particularly anxiety inducing month of my life.

literately NOTHING is normal about him. Eli's mom? Had to leave somehow. Bestie? He and Tom Por had a massive fall out. Blakk? From what we gather from the master, they used to not hate each other apparently. Jimmo? Straightforward enough, but that leaves the question of what happened to wills parents! like he's a decent dude but also shady af and paranoid as hell and, WHY is he like that? Idk and it's fascinating?!? he's the definition of just being human, and I love him. He's got a complicated history and PLENTY of unsolved beef, because everyone associated w him's got a VERY different take on the guy and they all have changed their opinion of him massively at some point or other. Like yall I WILL write everything but I will especially write TomxWill and ThadxWill I need to explore his CHAOS

also never, NEVER forget, because I never will; Will KNEW about Blakk knowing about the surface right?!? Surely?!? He would find out, either w his son or with the alliance w dark bane?!? WHAT IS THE STORY HERE?!?

give me your headcanons, they lower my heart rate and stop my panic attacks from my executive dysfunction problems.

the more will shane discourse the better!

...What happened to Shane men drafted during the military throughout the 20th century

like actually? I feel like, because of the secret, the Shane Family would always be sure to have a big family; siblings, cousins, grandparents, the like. But they don't! Not that we know of, and if we don't know about them by now I don't think they would help Eli or Slugterra that much at this point.

could family decide to cut contact over their Slugterra journeys? Maybe, but that wouldn't explain how the family basically windled down to three.

...what would, is the 20th century. Up on the surface, there were plenty of surface wars (regardless of what country we think the Shanes lived in) that they would have automatically been drafted in. And being good marksman before the drafting age...they would be on the line of fire. And maybe be as heroic as they thought of themselves to be in Slugterra.

One uncle lost in 1916, a sibling lost in Vietnam; not to mention the Shane woman, who probably offered their services too.

like sometimes I wonder what complicated family plots happened for the Shane's to be so lacking in numbers, but then I remember that, you didn't need backstabbings to die in these wars . A lot of deadly things were happening the past century on the surface, especially to a family used to combat and would maybe feel obligated to help the surface out.

Sorry this is a gruesome and out of left field thought. I just think that the wars of the 20th century couldn't be avoided by them, and perhaps that contributed heavily as to why, in the shows time, Eli's got not much family left.

This healed my Tron: Uprising trauma

I'm once again contributing to the tron fandom

i'm not writing this exact scene, but i am writing something very similar.

...lowkey, ive been writing for 12 hours straight....

Going back to the questions that tad and twist are in how much you want to bet that when junjies comes to visit and brings his master with him ( to see the western part) twist instantly gets ptsd just from seeing her?

Yes

Twist is not okay he has not been okay, and seeing Junjie's Master, Lian is not helping him.

Obviously, he knows they are different people, but they look alike. And for the entire visit, Twist can't look Lian in the eyes and does not want to be left alone in a room with her.

He needs therapy so badly

Eventually, I think he gets cornered and has a mini breakdown about his part in what happened to Unbeatable Master Shanai and his overall guilt.

theres alot of fics im either writing or planning to write

shanes get hurt's next chapter keeps feeling overwhelming, so im writing a long one-shot next to it. and i genuinely think this one will be done before shanes get hurt.

on the bright side, i finally get to do something ive never truly done in any of my stories:

explore twist's character.

strap in, folks. im writing a past-twist/eli, current eli/junjie fic, and since i don't feel the perfectionist urge w it nearly as much as SGH, its gonna be out...soon...

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.

it's actually confuzzling me rn, what that average slugterran knows.

Eli knew the deep caverns, but not dark bane specifically, or that dark water exists. Kord talks about dark water like it's something trolls have stories about, but not much experience with. and the Shane's have a drop for the chasm that leads to the portal from what lies beneath, which feels overkill in terms of hiding their stuff. Unless:

maybe they know of the deep caverns, but it's more of a legend that's considered probably true to people, like dark water. Like they know there's a hell down there, but till...recent history...no one went down there, so who knows what was down there? And the Shane's were fine with that very shallow understanding.

this assumption is also helped by the common misconception of the shadow clan. Slugterra society's view of them is based on legend, even though they are easier to see, and definitely believed to be real. Maybe slugterrans know it very basically as "the evil ppl in hell and the evil shadow clan fought like a trillion years ago, ooo scary", and only a few experts know the truth (blakk reading the sacred texts possibly depicting this history comes to mind).

...I'm sure I'm missing a line in some early episode that clears things up, but the show actually does a decent job of giving us the smallest possible clues ever and keeping this fandom alive on 40% "WAIT I JUST REALIZED" moments, so I'd love to hear any scenes you all remember that can help this discussion

Why did it take 4 rewatches of s1 to realize Eli says "if blakk has buisness w the deep caverns we don't know what else can can do" at the end of the deadweed episode?

meaning, will ACTUALLY told him about the deep caverns?!?!? And knew the whole time?!?
