I Cope By Making Memes Im Sorry

thanks, now I'm crying!

Ever think about how one of the rooms in the Shane Hideout technically belongs to Will,

So, like when Eli first scoped out the place, he probably stood in what was once his dads room for a solid five or ten minutes, taking in the dust covered room and all its stuff before getting the gear Will had left him.

And then when Trixie, Kord and Pronto like officially moved in and where claiming rooms for themselves they also saw what was once Will Shane's room, and how Eli just kinda avoided it by sleeping on the couch.

(because I hc there are like four actual bedrooms in the Hideout.)

And it takes like, a month to get Eli to not only clean out what was once his dad's old room but actually move into it himself?

And lest not think about the potential box/album of photos Will probably kept under his bed or something like that, and how those photos were of him and his son. (As well as some other personal items)

Let's not think about how Eli probably had to go out back and have a little cry before mustering up the energy to finish cleaning, out the room that was once his dad's, and is now his.

Let's not think about how Eli probably had to hide a lot of his dad's things, not just because he didn't want his friends to find them, but because they where to painful to look at.

Welp, i'ma head on off to bed now, night night!

"oh wow i thought this fandom was dead" you ignorant slut no fandom is ever truly dead. there will always always always be at least three mentally unwell freaks on the internet irrelevant-posting about their little blorbo(s) who have not been relevant for fifty years. this is the way of the world and they are stronger than you will ever be you FOOL

i just had a shocking epiphany about slugterra lore and went to an old post to rant about it but @temperance-sunlight already pointed it out on a reblog and now im apologising to everyone because im sorry and I should've learned how to read before this sin occurred

you all clued in literal months before i did and i am not worthy of your mercy

*yeets myself into jimmo's retirement home*

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...

So, if yall pay attention (not that I expect anyone to)

I like to do a whimsy tag:

Not my circus but that's my monkey.

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.

So yeah it's not my circus (fandom) but thats my monkey (mutual/friend/someone I'm choosing to follow for whatever reasons)

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:

That is my circus and that's my monkey

Not my circus nor my monkey but the monkeys might like it

Not my circus and that's my monkey but thats not my act (not my fandom, my moot, not my ship)

Thats my circus but thats not my monkey

Circus and monkey adjacent is (monkey got a new hyperfixation it looks like)

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.

unironically? Avatar the last airbender. instead of slugs channeling powers, it would be humans, who can only do the core 4 of the elementals, and do not have the chi necessary for the energy elementals power (though the more powerful benders can utilize some of it). eli's family are non-benders, hence them mainly being heroes in the underground. Interesting creatures live above and below the ground. Yang could have been a fire bender, hence the origins of slug-fu. maybe both the shanes and the yangs have had the avatar in their family at some point, and their lasting legacy is why they became the protectors. shanes have to stop the 2 worlds from meeting, and from the people of slugterra learning how to bend, since the magic of slugterra elevates the bending power, and people would get hurt from bad actors, or people trying to learn and hurting themselves. And a plot could be that some air nomads escaped the genocide into slugterra discreetly, or that during the 100 years, the shanes have had to convince MANY refugees to not practice bending in from of the slugterran natives, or damn what if the fire nation found slugterra and attacked? oooo, and what if as part of avatar training, the avatar and trusted advisors alone know of the shane's mission, so aang meets shanes from 100 years ago but dont learn where the entrance is, and due to 100 years of war the shane family has dwindled to will and young eli, and eli as a non-bender helps out in the war against Ozai, and then in return a few years later aang helps eli when he's the only one left and keeps watch of the surface for him, and even goes down to slugterra for the s2 finale, or defeating YET ANOTHER emperor, or teaching junjie to fire bend sometimes, and maybe tad could be sent back up to help a sligtly older aang instead of fall into the deep caverns, im thinking too hard about this-

If you wanted to do a crossover with slugterra what show would you do? For me personally it’s storm hawks ( obviously) and the other one is Ninjago ( because of the elements and the ninjas)

What do you think?

Okay- yeah crossover between SH and Ninjago would be fun, I actually remember reading a Danny Phantom and Slugterra Cossover fic(it was short lived but cool concepts-)

there is a three way Crossover fic series between Slugterra, MaxSteel(2013) and Hot Wheels: Battle Force Five. on fanfic.net

dwouebihia;ojs Cossover fics/one shots are fun as hell

but if there was like, one thing, I would pick for my own crossover, it would be Martin Mystery

the vibe of that show just fits, and because Martin Mystery is canonically in the Totally Spies universe(and by proxy The Amazing Spiez) that means my girls, kids, and mystery solving team can find themselves down in Slugterra as well, trying to stop a supervillain along side the Shane Gang from trying to take over/exploit the 99 Caverns

I BEG YOU TO READ HER WIKI PAGE

honestly, i only know her because in America if you look like a girl and can shoot well its our sacred tradition for the coach/range officers to call that girl "annie oakley" at least once a month and explain who she is to the unsuspecting kid lmaoooo, I was called annie oakley so often that its lowkey the only time I like being seen as feminine :)

and at a range her whole thing is being the best shot in american history (at least the best popular one) and thats all i knew till, like, a few years ago, where i read her wiki and like BRO HER LIFE??? very wack, and she kinda seems cool on a moral level too!

here's her young (age kinda debated)

also she was kinda adopted by Sitting Bull and supported Indian Land rights which is cool

and here's possibly her last photo, w her dog and her husband Frank E. Butler (who she met when he challenged her to a shootout and she beat him)

wiki is decent, there's also the Annie Oakley Center Foundation here: Frequently Asked Questions About Annie Oakley

...how did I make that Annie Oakley post not realizing Mario bravado is obviously inspired by Annie Oakley and

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-

happy last same year as it was yesterday 2024 tuesday

todays the only/last day you can reblog this lol

writing Trixie is so hard for me idk why

like in my writing notes I have this one line highlighted: "just because youre not a girl anymore doesn't mean you have an excuse not to write them" and it hurts how true it is, i need to write woman and be more confident that im not one

but im THIS CLOSE. one scene left then i can edit and POST. SOMETHING. ON AO3. its been AGES. but its late and i leave home at 7AM. what do i do. this is impossible.

i cant just deprive yall of another prison scene, trixie backstory, and eli crying over tad's betrayal, like THIS NEEDS TO BE RELEASED

this is a cry for attention ppl, inspire me to actually do things, i'll be heating the oven for chicken nuggets and hopefully that will be enough to beat the depression away

i've been fleshing out a bunch of ideas for her backstory, hopefully that helps me be more solid about her character and how to write her easier
