"I Have An Easy Weekend, I Don't Have Too Much To Do"

back to Slugterra Mode before the Met game for a sec

Daily reminder we never see any farmers in Slugterra, and there's only so much Slugterra terrain that isn't shadow clan territory, so when there isn't a canon cavern in any specific region I'm just assuming that's where they make food.

So: ive headcanoned that Trixie comes from a farming village since season 1.

anywho, time to have a heart attack for at last 9 innings.

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

HC: certified doctors in Slugterra have to pass an upper body physical test purely because in order to treat cave trolls they must be able to treat them without need of helpers - without being hindered by lack of arm strength.

You think different species like cave trolls and humans need different means of cpr? Pronto hears thru his nose and has his heart in his butt so I assume that's def different, humans are smaller than cave trolls so do cave trolls only use one hand for adults like how humans do for human childern cause of their pure strength? The list goes on

I would think so!

Humans already need different CPR. Till age 8, you perform CPR ment for kids on children, and after 8, you perform adult CPR.

Child CPR has you delivering 5 hard open palm blows to the back, followed by a two finger chest compreshion, while they are angled downward at like 45°, you already have to use one hand on a kid.

For adults (8 and above-weird, i know, but that's what I was taught-) you do regular CPR, and if needed/available, you bust out the AED

The AED will periodically shock the system to stimulate the body and tell whether or not the heart has started again. It will guide you through the motions and even has a button to switch to child mode to give instructions on providing CPR to a child.

There is also the fact other devices, like a oxygen mask might be in play as well depending on the situation.

With that in mind, and the fact that different species have different overall biology, it would make sense that there are different protocols when giving CPR to different residents of the Caverns.

Humans are straightforward, but for a Cave Troll to give a human CPR they would have to dile back their strength, CPR already risks the braking of ribs as is. Same when it comes to Elf's, they are humanoid, and Moleinoids, and their weird ass biology.

Whoever a Cave Troll must tend to medically that isn't another Cave Troll, they would have to be very mindful of their strength. So yeah, I would agree/assume they only use one hand when dealing with someone that isn't their own kind

As for a Human, Elf or Moleinoids preforming CPR on a Cave Troll, they would have to use as much strength and they could, or find another Cave Troll.

I would bet there are different AED devices made for the different types of residents of the Caverns, the Cave Troll one delivering more of a shock than the one for Humans, Elf's and Moleinoids.

And you know what? Let's take it up a notch and include slugs. Hypothetically speaking, if a slug here to need CPR, i would think it would follow the child rules, two finger chest compreshions and a blow to the back. Probably with not as much power, since they are so small.

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

EVERYONE: I need HC imput

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 :)

so i made a slugterra youtube channel

uh. here i guess, just uploaded this thing on it.

Slugisode 36 is genuinely fascinating to me.

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 :)

Just posted another one-shot on ao3

dedicated to the school boiler being broken all week so I have time to write :(

its just a little tiny one that i started and ended today its not the big ones but they WILL come i swear

bestie, we see what he's like in romance with Drucilla, and ur right, he would do that for her

How is kord like with romance?

You know the trop of that one person being a fool in love?

that's Kord.

He is an absolute fool attempting to do everything right, flowers, active listening, the attempt at a romantic date, funny jokes, he would be so whipped its not funny.

I also kind of see him acting a little like Kevin Leven from the original Ben 10 story line, more accurately then Kevin and Gwen where dating.

Kevin cares for Gwen but he can be a dense idiot, and I see it happening with Kord lmao

especially the;

"You have to treat a car like you treat a woman"

"...go on"

".... No. I sense I've made a mistake of some kind"

Big day for annoying people (ace attorney fans) (affectionate) (me)
