YALL WE'RE FINALLY GETTING RECOGNIZED

just finished My Babysitters a Vampire

the lore. The dialogue. RORY. The everything. Adored this show, now if you'll excuse me, I shall visit its ao3 for...a little while. I recommend it to everyone with a pulse. Watch it. For Rory!!!!

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

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.

Back on the murder train (I say jokingly)

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 -

I love this and make a humble HC request:

Trixie would think about punching Will Shane, but decide instead to, when he lives with them, not tell him anything as payback. "Oh, the WiFi password? It's written down somewhere. What did Pronto make to eat? Have a taste to find out. What is it like in the Eastern Caverns? Alas, you must wait to visit them yourself...tragic"

"Kid, this is really not necessary and not efficient."

"...bummer."

Shane Gang head cannons #2 Electric Boogaloo

- part 1 -

Hero worship be damned, Kord will punch Will Shane

There are multiple stashes of snacks in the Hideout. Some are booby traped

There was a moment in time when Eli was so sleep deprived, he wore his clothes backwards and inside out, and no one said a thing

The Hideout, being rather old and not having been in proper use for a handful of years, needed quite a bit of repairs and upgrades. Yet, no one has bothering to fix the gutters.

There is a rat that lives in the Shane Hideout, it's name is Randy, and no one acknowledges him outside of saying 'hi' when the rodent is spotted.

Fun fact, there was a mouse in my house like three years ago, i also named him Randy. Unfortunately, Randy is now dead :(

The Slugs of the Shane Colony have had trials,

like actual 'court' trials.

Burpy by default is the judge unless he is to take the stand as a defendant, prosecutor, or witness, and in those cases, Doc or Stinky become the new judge.

Trixie has tried (and failed) to film Eli singing

Eli hated mushrooms pre Drop, now they just remind him of chicken when cooked right

Hero worship be damned, Pronto will punch Will Shane

Kord likes romance movies

Eli likes action comedy movies

Trixie likes horror and just well shot movies in general

Pronto also like romance movies, but well done rom coms are also good.

Eli brought his mp3 player from the Surface, it's filled with a bunch of his favorite songs,

If he's having trouble falling asleep, Eli will pop in his ear buds and listen to music form his mp3 player

Don't worry, the Slugs make sure to take the buds out when their Slinger falls asleep

Pronto insists on cooking with bugs, he says it's for extra protein.

He's, unfortunately, right.

Trixie has filmed and posted a bunch of videos to the SlugNet. It wasn't until she joined the Shane Gang that her channel gained more traction

Trixie has a prank compilation on her channel that is just a compilation of all the pranks the team pull on each other that she is able to catch on Camara

The most popular Prank video is just the rest of the Gang referring to Eli as anything but his name for a whole day. And the Shane is slowly losing his mind.

Once, while undercover, Eli got mistaken for a kid skipping school and was forced into a classroom at the local school

Eli, being Eli, didn't say anything until the rest of the team had to come pick him up.

This actually led to the discovery of an underground ghouling ring.

Apparently, one of the upper class men found a berral of Dark Water, and after some trial and error, found out how to ghoul slugs and started selling their ghouling services for illegal dules

When Junjie joined the team, it was extremely awkward

For a week, Junjie was on bed rest before feeling comfortable going out on missions with them.

Junjie has so far been the only one to eat Prontos cooking with no complaints about there being bugs in it.

Junjie gets hooked on Kisses From a Hoverbug, but dose not admit it

Everyone has tried to prank Junjie, key word try, no one has succeeded.

Lack of information be damned Junjie will deck Will Shane

Two weeks after Junjie joining the gang, they have to go to Caverna Mall to get cloths and other things for him.

It goes as well as you would expect

This is also where Junjies slugs get their first real tase of not only junk food, but absolute chaos as well.

Joo-Joo becomes the fourth judge of Shane Colony court

Joo-Joo becomes a tyrant judge

Its a collective agreement to put the Infurnus in time out(in a shell) till hes cooled off.

All of the Slugs of the Shane Colony are protective of Doc

They just knew Doc was important long before their Slingers did

Rookie pranks Junjies slugs with his exploding ball things. It's funny damn it.

There is now a new tally next to Eli and Burpys. It's for Junjie and Joo-Joo, and how many fires they start

It's currently in the dubbed digits

NO ONE TALKS ABOUT "THE GAME MASTER"

"The Jigsaw wannabe" as Eli would say.

I can't keep having the same conversations about love languages, mbti, iq, bmi, "brain fully formed at 25" and shit over and over again...

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.

MIND BLOWN FOR THOSE WHO WATCH RAISE OF THE ELEMENTALS

THE SCENE WGERE KORD ASKS ELI

(this is based of a 11 months old memory)

“You’re choosing him, over us?”

GESTURING TO ELI SEEMINGLY CHOOSING JUNJIES ADVICE/HELP/PLAN OVER THE SHANE GANG

Now that is out there, look at it from a romantic perspective

Someone choosing their new partner over their closest friends. They’re only family left that they found and built connections to life multiple lifetimes.

HOW GUT WRENCHING IT WOULD BE TO SEE YOUR BROTHER BY CHOICE CHOOSE A NEW BOYFRIEND/LOVER OVER YOUR FAMILY.

Not that it was that serious (as in never discussed further) BUT MY GOD THE ANGST

I’m so rewatching Elementals because I need to rewatch the scene in this light

pre ghoul blakk in some god awful engineering shirts + a bonus. shirt transcript under the cut if you can't read them.

shirts are in order: i'm into plants (with a nuclear symbol) engineering works engi-neering my limit i don't suffer from insanity. i enjoy every minute of it.
