If the shane gang (plus tad, twist, and junjie) had childern in the future, what kinda dad's (and or mom) would they be like?
I have actually thought about this.
A lot.
Believe it or not.
Eli: He's a good dad. Eli has more or less decided that he's staying in Slugterra, he doesn't have to do what his dad did, in leaving the Caverns for periods of time to spend with his kid. but it dose raise some concerns. I see Eli being very protective. And he is really trying to be present in his kids life more often then his own dad was in his own. Then there's the Shane Secrets, I think Eli would be open with them as the kid gets older, he keeps the 'no slinging till 15 rule', there are a few things Eli will let the kid figure out themselves, but I don't think he'll say a thing about the 'Burning World' unless absolutely necessary, after all why tell when heading Top Side isn't really important? And I see that causing problems down the line. over all he is trying his best, and is a lot more present.
Trixie: best mom! she is a little strict but someone has to make sure the kid has some common cense. Trixie is going to document every moment of that kids life. she is going to be exited if her kid shares a love of film making, and would tech them everything she knows. See her encou raging the kid to try new things, and finding their own path outside of Trixie's own heroics.
Kord: top tier wish he was my dad. Kord is the dad. much like Trixie he's a little strict but, again, kid's gotta have some rules to live by. he will teach them everything he knows about engineering, especially how to make a Jetpack out of a Mecha Beast. 'you never know!'. Kord has also been shown to be real perceptive so I don't think the kid's are going to have an easy time hiding things from him.
Pronto: He is surprisingly okay at being a father. he's got the tails to tell at bedtime, the dad jokes locked in. and can and will stab someone if they mess with his kid. and, I guess, this dose mean the kid is like, the prince/princess/heir of Molemound? so their probably going to get spoiled lol. and I bet Pronto is going to make it a whole deal of them following in his foot steps as a tracker, maybe feign a little jealousy is the kid turns out to be a better tracker be Pronto is like, super proud. he will constantly bring up having navigated the Cavern of Time to the time it gets to be that one story the kid and their friend's dread hearing and sigh/roll their eyes when Pronto starts to monolog. all in all, Pronto loves his kid, they may get on his nerves but he wouldn't have it any other way.
Junjie: GIRL DAD GIRL DAD GIRL DA- *Cough - Cough* sorry, just had to get that out. Nervous wreck of a man. but he's doing his best damn it. I keep going back to it, but the Goon messed him up man. he is afraid, even after all this time he's going to mess this kid up, and hurt them. He dose not want what happened to him to happen to his kid, so Junjie is protecting them by having them learn and master Slug-Fu or so help him.
assuming they get redeemed
Twist: Congratulations Twist and his rat self is raising a expert survivalist and con artist. Once a street rat always a street rat. While the 'home situation' may be stable atm, Twist preps his kid for whatever he can think of. Twist 2.0 one might say. over all Twist care's, and dose not what his kid to go through what he did. oh and, depending on the context, a rivalry with Eli's kid is encouraged lol. the embodiment of;
"Sir, your child got into a fight at lunch"
"... Okay, but did they win?"
kids real good at acting as well :)
Tad: has had time to reflect, and after everything, he's trying to brake by cycle. He has his moments, Tad isn't always sure what he's doing, he is constantly asking the others(if able to) about what he should do. Tad dose try to hide most of the Blakk legacy from the kid, but it ends up crashing down on the kid sooner or later, and at that point... best to deal with each revelation as it happens.
-
over all, they would make sure their kids where ready for whatever there world threw at them, but hope that they never had to deal with anything on the level of what they did.
History must not repeat itself. They all worked too hard for that to happen.
as a classical musician who's had to desperately try to explain why YOUR FAVORITE OPERA SHOULD NOT BE CARMAN, I pass this on hoping tumblr is more open than my peers :)
Anyway, daily reminder from a culturally isolated Romani person.
Gypsy does not mean wanderer.
It literally means ‘people from egypt’ or similar, as europeans believed Romani people were from Egypt. It has become known similar to nomad due to how our ancestors have been forced to be nomadic due to racism and ostracization, but it is a SLUR.
Romani people are STILL being forcibly sterilized.
Romani people are STILL being forced into ghettos.
Romani people are still facing violence and danger in countless European countries- and recently, I’ve seen the beginnings of the extremes in the United States.
Have a little fucking respect and DON’T USE A SLUR THAT’S BEEN USED FOR CENTURIES AGAINST US.
And for the love of whatever’s up there, ESPECIALLY do not use it to describe your witchcraft. It is playing on the ‘magic gypsy’ trope, and is EXTREMELY insulting.
non romani people, please reblog this.
okay so i know NOTHING about how illnesses work. However, would the Shane family's genetics probably stemming from both slugterran and surface humans effect disease tolerance? for all we know, maybe his genetic make-up from both slugterrans and surface beings in his bloodline make him resilient to certain stuff we'd consider potentially harmful to him.
not to mention - eli hasn't been walled from slugterra bacteria his whole life. Will went back and forth, and his slugs did, too! Maybe Eli got all the slugterra sicknesses on the surface when he was a kid and Will and Jimmo had to come up with clever excuses to doctors to not let the secret out.
Quickly circling back to the one post about Eli having to go to the Doctor
I just remembered a fun fact about diseases.
(That you weird obsession with the Medieval Era)
Eli Shane, should be getting sick.
Even if he's up to date with his shots from the surface, unless Will snuck vaccines for any diseases for Slugterra, Eli should be contracting some kind of illness exclusive to the Caverns.
On top of that, Eli also poses a risk to the 99 Caverns as well because, Chicken Pox, Polio, mumps- hell the common flu from the surface would wreck havoc on the Vitamin D deficient residents of the Caverns.
And this isn't covering, like potential allergies exclusive to Slugterra. I bet you there is at least one person who is allergic to slug's, or a specific kind of slug.
So with that context in mind,
While at the Doctors, they do a quick allergy test and, turns out, Eli is allergic to the vines/plants made by Vindrill Slugs, and a very specific deep Sea Cavern fish.
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
its such an undertaking, plus there like no canonical info to go off of. legit alot of what i know is from one-off lines about "it took 3 days to get to futuria cavern!" and such, how often the gang goes somewhere, and other bits of inferenced info. the most pressing problem, though, is sluterra's geography.
some cavers are UNDERNEATH others. this is the underground. It's hard to decide whether a cavern is next to another, or under/over it.
theres CONFLICTING INFO. the mobile games have a few maps, and from what little map graphs we get from the show, those ALSO don't line up. it seems like going from scratch and deciding geography based on what the characters/plot tells us of the caverns is our best bet, and from there, we decide which mapping is most accurate.
so much work. I'll do it...after i finish shanes get hurt on ao3 tho, everyones been waiting for that lol
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
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...
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
"oh wow i thought this fandom was dead" you ignorant slut no fandom is ever truly dead. there will always always always be at least three mentally unwell freaks on the internet irrelevant-posting about their little blorbo(s) who have not been relevant for fifty years. this is the way of the world and they are stronger than you will ever be you FOOL
