Eli Shane: As long as I was going on a mission, I could pretend you weren't gone. It's crazy.

Will Shane: No, not crazy. Very human, actually.

well, i'm not sleeping tonight

OOOOO, THE EAST! I was only thinking about the West, ur so right!!! I wish they went back to the East, though I understand the show's never been too big about dedicating episodes to culture alone (unless plot relevant).

Especially since the Eastern Caverns don't have a Shane-like figure that could upkeep some surface culture in their underground, I believe 2000 years is plenty of time for the culture to morph a little. Like, in a different environment underground, and mingling w cave troll and elf and shadow clan culture, I hesitate to mirror the Eastern Cavern culture directly with the Surface's Chinese/other Asian influences cultures, you know? Not to mention that the flora of the underground is different, so maybe the herbs trads had to adapt...and I really appreciate the show showing the audience that hey, slinging WAS inspired by previous religious practice! It's one of the cooler aspects of Slugterra lore for me.

Like, one little HC I have is that, when Junje speaks Cantonese in ROTE, he doesn't actually know what the words mean, or if he does, those are the only words he knows. Like, similar to how Christians/Westerners use Latin! Some words have passed on into the secular and/or religious vernacular (think "hallelujah", for example), and have been passed through time, in different cultural contexts than when it first became popularized. Junjie may know those words as Slug-Fu sayings primarily. I think we could HC so much about the East, because we really have artists choice on how their cultures has accustomed to the underground.

so long story short; I can totally believe they still have marriage, but I hesitate to say that with canonic certainty lmaoooo

horrifying thought for the day:

*takes big breathe* HOW DOES MARRIAGE WORK IN SLUGTERRA?!?

like, how do our religious and secular norms of things translate to down there? How does it legally affect couples in terms of owning property? And healthcare?!?

honestly, do they HAVE marriage as a concept legally? It's pretty anarchist/capitalist down there. Would they even HAVE a legal mechanism to tie 2 ppl together like that?

...genuinely, maybe they don't, or only some caverns do.

Just read this story and it was adorable. Take a look guys.

OMG 😆 just read the chapter and it was amazing🤩. Can’t wait for the next chapter! Btw take your time on the next chapter no need to rush this. You got this 👍

AHHHHH THANK YOU! but I don't think I can get lazy w this, yall need closure after where I left off that chapter lollll. It'll be out soon!

can't wait to explain this to my kids in the future

this is my first reblog on tumblr and I don't regret it :) this is canon now lol

I wish we had an episode just about Mall Cavern Shenanigans

The Mall Cavern is like the best place for a four-way(or five-way) story.

Just think about it.

The gang walks in, and they all have their own plans.

Trixie is in a video camera store because she needs to get her camera lens fixed but the clerk keeps trying to get her to by a new one.

Kord is looking at new mecha and blaster mods gets into a minor disagreement with another grearhead.

Pronto is window shopping for fancy stuff and probably haggling for cheaper prices.

Eli is just walking around, seeing whatever catches his eye. Probably gets recognized by a few people, like other customers and staff. People keep trying to get him to buy their favorite product or buy from their store(because having a Shane buy from you is such a big deal), and he just politely refuses.

And the Slugs just get into slug shenanigans. (Obligatory something gets blown up with them)

The episode ends with Eli being called over the Malls intercom to come collect the rest of his team from Mall jail.

This is because;

Trixie punched the clerk trying to up sell her.

Kord 'accidentally' broke the blaster of the guy he was having a disagreement with during a little impromptu competition to see who could best mod a balster(he put a glitter bomb in the main accelerator)

Pronto got busted for being a cheapskate when one of the cashiers got fed up with him

And the Slugs, the Slugs, just fall through a vent conveniently just as Trixie, Kord, and Pronto are being let out.

Alternatively, the gang gets called to Mall jail to pick up Eli because in an attempt to hide from people, he accidentally ends up stealing a minor trinket he forgot to put back on the shelf/pay for.

Edit to add: when Eli is sent to Mall jail, he learns his dad got arrested for very similar reasons, the security guard straight up show him a photo of Will Shane behind bars. Eli is allowed to keep a copy

Team as family and domestic stuff is all I'm saying.

Hey there just read your story and I loved it 🥰 can’t wait for the next chapter😁.

Now for my question: When Dr. Blakk was defeated where did all the other villains go? Not once did I see twist, C.C, John Bull or Blakks other goons after that. What exactly do you think happened?

P.s I keep hearing that we might get slugterra back, but no confirmation yet if it true or not.

Let me know what you think.

aww, thank you so much!!! I'm so glad, it's got me obsessed w writing again :)

I think, in the final battle of s2, Blakk didn't care for them anymore, since dark bane are super powerful - they'd be more useful as cavern enforcers, probably, and we're off-screen being evil that way. after the battle -depends. Cc comes from a rich family and was known as a sport slugslinger - he might've gone back to that, he might be laying low to go back to that in a few years. This is probably true for most of the jock lackeys actually - shooting sports has always been a sport for either the really desperate trying to protect ppl, OR the super wealthy who like wearing thousands of dollars of gear to show off. Twist is...well, I explore it in ch2 (already deep into it), but essentially, it comes down to if he's redeemed, and when. Maybe he wasn't at the citadel but super loyal. Maybe he planned to rh. After master shanais murder. Or maybe he went back to underground foolery, as he did pre-the new kid, I associated w Blakk but still in organized crime. What is certain is that, after s2, twist had been publically for Blakk, like Maurice - both of them would need ALOT of help branching out of the underground due to their reputations. So they'd stay there... unless some fanfic writer used their unclear future as a way to breach the plot hole of how the goon got into the deep caverns..............stay tuned for ch2

And Imma be so real - I'm not holding hope for them coming back. Nerd corps is gone, and I couldn't watch ascension - not because of the animation, because it did something slugterras never done - go with the boring plot line. Like really, no kord or pronto, delving into slug biology instead of EVERYTHING ELSE, and bringing back blakk for a NOT good reason? It strips the heart of the original show. It would take a lot of money and good intentions to continue the show decently, and god help me, this shows been so LUCKY with not having any contradictory lore - get the wrong writers, and it'll break like a cheap pencil. So it could come back...but I'll be building up my ao3 regardless. I'll take the Slugterra canon into my own hands, and keep it alive through my fun obsession with it, side by side w all my homies online who wanna do the same :)

the mark vientos celebration scream face is something so important to me personally
