I made an intro to slugterra thingy cause most youtube videos ive seen about slugterra are either ai slop or well-meaning cartoon channels that have done a sane and respectable amount of research but dont have every slugterra fact tatooed into their bloodstream like I do...so boom, a real life human with a voice talking about slugterra.
i have no proper camera but otherwise ive always really vibed w video essay stuff...doesnt mean im good at it, but if i do it more ill probs get better at it! not just about slugterra either, i have hot takes about aspec representation and i accidentally stumbled into the lord of the rings fandom recently, so...hopefully, whatever happens, the rest of my artistic output is only better than this vid and not worse :)
the shadow clan keep to themselves mostly, but get involved when a)they hate someone and b) when they harm slugs. Tad fired on them in their first meeting, so a was checked off, and then started ghouling in mass droves, so...yeah, after amity cavern they were hella spying
Do you think that the shadow clan would you tries to watch tad?
Pre Deep Cavern banishing?
Totally.
Its been shown in Cannon the Shadow Clan do keep tabs on what's going on in the 99 Caverns. But because of their aversion to light/bright areas can't necessarily do much without risking harm to themselves in some way.
Though they do mainly stick to their territory, I'm not above thinking that a few members of the Clan lurk in the shadows and watch what potential threats do to keep tabs on them.
So yeah, I can totally believe the Shadow Clan watch Tad, but can't do much unless they absolutely have too.
"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
My friend wants to know something and I to want to know as well, this is his question “how come nacho’s the only dark bane to go work for dr. Blakk wouldn’t it be better to have more dark bane in his group? Or did the writers have no time to make more dark bane characters?”
Let us know what you think 🤔
more dark bane come up to help Dr Blakk at the end of "Back to Blakk" - nacho was the only one up at first because a)they wanted to keep the secret of the bark bane in Slugterra for as long as they could, and nacho is the only one (probably) who can shapeshift to look more human, and b) Blakk needed a lot of ghouls to open a portal big enough for several dark bane to go thru at once. The fandom has been calling the 4 other bark bane that came up after back to Blakk plus nacho "the dark bane elite" for a while. Brimmstone stayed in the deep caverns so he could command the army into the portal during the s2 finale - they planned for a huge assault, not a slow trickling of dark bane, especially since they probably planned on causing a great upheaval and overpowering blakk in the confusion.
...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.
can't wait to explain this to my kids in the future
thanks, now I'm crying!
Ever think about how one of the rooms in the Shane Hideout technically belongs to Will,
So, like when Eli first scoped out the place, he probably stood in what was once his dads room for a solid five or ten minutes, taking in the dust covered room and all its stuff before getting the gear Will had left him.
And then when Trixie, Kord and Pronto like officially moved in and where claiming rooms for themselves they also saw what was once Will Shane's room, and how Eli just kinda avoided it by sleeping on the couch.
(because I hc there are like four actual bedrooms in the Hideout.)
And it takes like, a month to get Eli to not only clean out what was once his dad's old room but actually move into it himself?
And lest not think about the potential box/album of photos Will probably kept under his bed or something like that, and how those photos were of him and his son. (As well as some other personal items)
Let's not think about how Eli probably had to go out back and have a little cry before mustering up the energy to finish cleaning, out the room that was once his dad's, and is now his.
Let's not think about how Eli probably had to hide a lot of his dad's things, not just because he didn't want his friends to find them, but because they where to painful to look at.

Welp, i'ma head on off to bed now, night night!
truth is, I'm a Mets fan, and while thats not a big deal usually, this week has been a goddamn MOVIE PLOTLINE and all my free time has been devoted to keeping up with 2024 Met Lore.
for example: few days ago Pete Alonso and his wife went pumpkin picking and he brought a "lucky pumpkin" with him for the game that evening and he gushed about it being like a baseball in an interview.
gosh this team is running on dorks and memes its wonderful
Are slugs from Slugterra consider, fairy animals in the perspective of fairies from Winx Club/World of Winx?
imma be so real - I love questions pls give me all ur inquiries, even the non slugterra ones cause I have a lot of niche interests and I do know a lot of different fandoms, I just have no idea what winx club is......
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.
