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 -
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-
. . ."He is a bad boy with a tainted heart"
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 :)
So, if yall pay attention (not that I expect anyone to)
I like to do a whimsy tag:
I want to explain it a bit because asks are still disabled and i don't have enough spoons to turn it back on.
The whole point of being a writer/part of fandom in general is COMMUNITY.
Like we're all part of a larger community and that means showing up for people even if its not your thing, even if its not your ship/fandom but someone you follow/are friends with made with care and love.
Share their art, share their fics, share their shit.
If we want to see the change in the community we got to start somewhere.
There are variations to this that I do use:
Its whimsy.
Add your own to posts but please just start sharing others works. Because the only way we keep community alive is start participating in it again.
Fuck feel free to use and adapt mine idc, I just started doing it to start helping my friends works because as an artist it's disheartening to see so many quit because the lack of engagement.
You're on the engagement website start doing your part.
SAME
But having a map would be so USEFUL for writing fics and analysing more of the culture of Slugterra, and I really think w enough time and rewatching one could make a decent map. Just...ugh, TIME. My head hurts too. So I just...avoid geography till I have the time to uncover it.
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
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.
Pronto absolutely sleeps with incense burning. This is important for Pick Your Table Chapter 2. What scents would be his favorite?
Currently, I think he likes Lavendar candles. Would he also like earthly-toned smells? Or maybe he'd like high-class-sounding smell names? any answers yall give ill probably name drop in the fic, thx yall :)
