Also Yell At Me If I Don't Post A One-shot Today Thanks Yall

Flute shows up one time in Slugterra and I wanted to learn it lmao

and yes, pronto has the wrong fingerings and is using too much teeth. BUT, he only has 4 fingers so the instrument might just have different fingerings; it probably feels more like a baroque/medieval flute to play, which I admire from this character I otherwise am lukewarm to, since baroque flute takes alot more air and embrochure trickery than the modern metal flute I play here.

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.

OUCH

If you've ever procrastinated on finishing a Tron fanfiction, or just left it unfinished, take solace in the fact that you're being true to the franchise.

Shane Colony Headcannons #4: Back to Brain Rot [Edition]

☆ Part 1 ☆ Part 2 ☆ Part 3 ☆

To clarify, the Shane Colony is what I've taken to calling the Slugs that live at the Hideout.

And yes, this was inspired by a comment on part 3, by the lovely loveart14

Also, preemptive thank you to the SlugTerra Section of the FandomWiki for all the names of the slugs I was able to use

-

I've mentioned this before, but Burpy is the defacto pack leader of the Shane Colony, followed by Doc, then by Stinky

Why Stinky? Simple, he and the rest of Prontos slugs have technically been apart of the Shane Colony the longest

Movie nights without their Slingers

Movie nights with their Slingers

All reasoning be damned, the next time Burpy sees Will Shane, it's on sight

In fact, the next time any of the Shane Colony see Will Shane, it's on sight

There are a bunch of hides and hangout spots around the Hideout, both inside and out

Makes for a killer game of hide and seek for the Slugs

'Court trials' are a spectacle

For starters, they have a whole mini court set up, gavel and all

Sometimes the Shane Gang watch and are completely dramatic about it. Like gasps and everything

Trixie has recorded trials, and edited the video like a Judge Judy episode to post on the SlugNet

The Slugs have pranked their Slingers, but sometimes it leads to an all out prank war between the Slingers because they didn't realize it was the Slugs

Doc is the mom friend

Burpy is the dad friend

Because of nesting habits, the high nesting slugs, like Granukers, Hoverbugs, and Arachnet's, tend to drop things from their high perches.

There is a cupboard filled with treats, and it's under lock and key, fortified like Fourt Nox

There have been many attempts to break in

Joules, Spinner, Buzzsaw, and Lerry were really close to getting in one night until Eli caught them.

Noodle, despite being a Flopper, is well loved :) he can no wrong and when he does, he blames Stunts, and no one questions it.

Mo is a dumb little thing, but Lerry and Suds have taken to teaching him things

Mo is a surprising fast learner, he's just uncoordinated because he's constantly seeing triple thanks to his Aura Sight

Dozer has purposefully triggered his Velocimorph inside the Hideout. His Slinger and his friends need to sleep damn it

After the 'Lightwell' all the slugs where extra carful with Burpy, much to his annoyance

speaking of the 'Lightwell' the Shane Gang was extra attentive to all their slugs, keeping their eyes pealed for any signs of their light going dim

Beeker has put out one to many fires that Burpy, Burner, and any of the other fire slugs have started

Beeker now charges extra Slug Pellets at meal time as compensation

Glimmer had flash banged people on accident and on purpose.

They play high stakes hot potato with Rookies exploding balls

The Slugs activity gamble

Eli can and will spend most of gold on his Slugs before he spends anything on himself

All the Slug's have their own preferences when it come's to entertainment

some of its weird

Bludgeon, Kord's Rammstone, its surprisingly really good at art

When Junjie's slug's joined the Shane Colony they have a horror movie night

it goes as well as you would expect

Joo-Joo actually cried after being cured from his Ghouled state

this is because, he was semi-conscious through the 20 years Junjie was forced to be the Dark Slinger, and having been with Junjie's family for so long, the poor little guy was so distressed by what was happening, Joo-Joo felt helpless. So seeing his Slinger, his Partner, his Person finally free, on top of no longer being Ghouled brakes the normally composed Slug and Joo-Joo just sobs

Yin(the Slicksilver from SFS) is baby

Torch sleeps in the oven, it gives Pronto a heart attack every single time until he remembers the Slug is a Forgesmelter

First Rule about Shane Colony Fight Club: You don't squeak about Fight Club

Doc is done with everyslug's shit when it comes to Fight Club

'You wanna brawl? fine, but don't expect me to do anything about it' [Translated from Slug]

Trixie's slugs are surprisingly the most tame when compared to the guys,

and yes, this includes Junjie's slugs because those little guys have no chill

Junjie's slugs can brew tea

Kord's slugs know how to sabotage a Mecha

Pronto's slugs, when motivated, can run a mullite million gold marketing scheme - don't ask how, they just do

Trixie's slugs know how to work a camera, and video editing software, they have made, hundreds of videos they post on their own SlugNet account

Burpy will never admit this to his fellow slugs, or even Eli for that matter, but, he actually used to like Thaddius Blakk, like before he went off the deep end.

Blakk used to be a good slinger, and the Infernus could over look some of the questionable things Blakk did. but at some point, Burpy just couldn't anymore. this is a secret Burpy will take to his grave.

I CONDUCTED AND PLAYED PIANO PROFESSIONALLY FOR THE FIRST TIME!!!!!

I made mistakes but I DID IT!!!

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

Pick Your Table - Chapter 2 - Mister Rose (MrRose) - Slugterra [Archive of Our Own]

JUNJIE X ELI! this is only ch2 - i split up this chap so this is more of the bromance chapter but i hope yall enjoy all the same

im so powerful when i procrastinate -

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 :)

@temperance-sunlight and @a-sad-mage, u both make all fantastic points. I really like the idea of the non-nuclear family, and the importance of who raises kids over who has them, and no real world-wide custom in Slugterra! and like, religion is fascinating w the Shadow Clan. and omfg, no one tried to claim they were a shane!!! I chalked that up to maybe the ppl being suspicious of the Shane's and their secrets and skill and whatnot, so no one would dare mess with them, but yeah no what if property and stuff just doesn't legally operate so everyone would call bs on that immediately? We saw that eli had to prove himself over a long tournament.

oooo, the rabbit holes....

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.

okay, I have a hot take that might get me on thin ice.

I like that many of our cool characters aren't reoccurring.

like, it's always felt a bit cheap in a lot of media, that despite a fictional world claiming that the world is so BIG and VAST, all the characters we run into are "important". It's like the skywalker effect in Star Wars - like, one family and one group of acquaintances don't run the show. It makes the work feel small. And don't get me wrong, there's great writing to be had w knowing all the network of important characters to a worlds lore! But in a show like Slugterra, which is decently long but isn't the length of one piece, everyone reoccurring feels hollow to me. I LIKE that Vance is probably important and doing things - or shows to not do anything idk - off screen. I like how we see other slingers only when it's convenient for them - they have lives outside the blakk battles. I like how there's not just 20 important people in Slugterra - there's ALOT of interesting people, and whenever we watch an episode, it's usually someone new showing up, expanding the lore w their prescence then going back to live the lives we headcanon over.

I'm showing a friend of mine the show, and she said something interesting around ep 8: "I never know what's gonna happen in this show." Like, TRUE! We know the gang will be involved, but otherwise, we're uncovering lore, and in that search and those fights, we could run into ANYONE. It's not my hero academia: oh it's the tournament arc, time to see this group of characters. It's not a sitcom - everyone is reoccurring and the wider world doesn't exist. It's a lore expansive universe.

of course we are going to see some acquaintances once or twice, then never again. It's like real life! Which just makes those we keep close that much more important and impactful. Like remember - friend or foe, there's only been 4 characters who CHOSE to not vanish from Eli's life once their buisness in that cavern or tournament was over. I like that. I like that feeling that there's a lot of cool people in the world, and you don't see most of them, but you see as many as you can - and some will even choose, amongst all the other races and battles and underground circuits, to stay by you.

I think we should have seen those characters more - but perhaps doing their own thing, or seeking the Shane out in particular, hence them being plot important. And I think, to not ruin the worldly effect, this would have to be done sparingly, over a long period of time. Slugterra doesn't have that, so...I'm okay, with the canon experience.

I kinda wish Dana was more included. A lot of cool characters just show up for a tiny amount of time and dip forever which is a shame. It’d be cool to see a side plot where she slowly unravels the secrets will refused to tell her dad by snooping on Eli or something

Dana

Twist

Mario

Vance

And like a bunch of other ppl I can't name rn

Are all individuals that should have been seen more.

Honestly yeah, getting to see Dana more would have been awesome, especially if she happened to run into the Gang while they were Secret hunting leading to fun shenanigans

Side plot regarding any of the side characters would have been amazing i wish they pulled a Storm Hawks, and by that I mean have an episode just decided to the Villains/side characters and what they get up too while the Heros are off doing who knows what.

But with such a large cast of characters, it's inevitable some get lost or underutilized, unfortunately.

Especially those who were created to just fill a serten role like Vance or Mario.

Not everyone can be a C.C. fitting whatever role the narrative demands.
