Okay So I Know NOTHING About How Illnesses Work. However, Would The Shane Family's Genetics Probably

I was just thinking about this if you had rewritten Slugterra accession what would you do differently? Would you bring back Dr.Blakk as the main antagonist? Or would you bring in a new villain for the Shane gang to go up against? Let me know what you think.

soory yall ive been so busyyyy BUT

Blakk would have a lasting effect, but he would not be the main antagonist. at least not for a while. cause i think this show could have been so loooooooong....id introduce blakk in like season 7 lol. honestly, slugterra has a rich tapestry of small compelling villains, with some being more important than others depending on their alliances. i'd bring back the old classics (saturday, cc, twist, maurice, blite, you name it) and also add new players - ones that grew undr blakk's shadow, ones that were released/escaped from prison for some reason, ones that hid to wait out blakk's plans and now finally feel ready to make their debut, or even some legendary evil ppl that in age have come to terrorize one cavern and, compacent, their terror hasn't been on wider slugterra's radar. and hell, it could be people killing, or controlling, but it could also be small stuff again, like a kid abusing slugs, or other implicited abusive stuff going on (cause kid show, but cmonnnn, its slugterra, they are so good at being like "yes ur honor this dude was mind controlled for 20 years and we simply let the audience look into the explicit behaviors that we animated for him afterwards" they could so do that w harsher subjects)

i would do...everything different. keep the gang together. have everyone - especially eli - grapple with the concept of how to move forward and make slugterra better - stopping those slug markets and whatnot - while also contending with their trust issues (and possible depression, in elis case) after tad. out with the universal slug or whatever, bring in wtf dana's been doing with the shadow walker - maybe shes been exploring shadow clan territory in the south and calls the shane gang when she finds new shane secrets/treasure. maybe his could be a segmented like a show - some episodes are the gang trying to fight crime but also help people out, supporting programs that make the world better, and the other half is involving a tense plotline with the shadow clan about uncovering the stuff dana found (maybe a secret passage to the back end of the deep caverns, in a cavern that's thin enough to where the shadow walker could just barely manage to take a traveler to the other side). In both plots, old and new characters get introduced and recontextualized in the absence of Blakk, especially Twist, who would probably come back in the context of "hey, why not help out the gang covertly into finding will and rescuing him so i can kill him or something!", getting more evil from his time and trauma w blakk but then as eli's hero worship of the shanes and will decays further it prompts him to come back to the good side?

That was a rant but yeah - came up w that on the fly. But I actally wrote a little of a story involving after ItS - one called "I'm sorry, I dont know what the moon looks like tonight", whose later scenes take place after ItS, and TEAL "To End A Legacy" (which is my first slgterra fanfic) where i continued the slugterra plot....in a really dark way...and IM GONNA FINISH IT 2025 IS THE YEAR I FINISH THINGS I SWEAR-

What your FBI agent sees through the screen at the end of the chapter:

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.

Slugterra: a cautionary tale on why queer people need to stay friends with their ex's

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

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

a distant shore is such a good episode GOD

and actually, does this help explain Pronto's weird actions in slugfu showdown? Maybe the Shane gangs gotten used to just BLASTING their actual activities/unnecessary noise on the slugnet to cover for any burning world catastrophes that, when they got the elementals, pronto was like "why should we keep this a secret??? it'll confuse people, maybe they'll start to think the shane secrets were about the elementals??? I was throwing them off!" And like, still not the smartest, but a better explanation!!!

Do you think after the events of a distant shore that the Shane gang developed a shared excuse for what the Shane secret is? Like in case they ever get put in another Gar situation, they all have a shared lie that the bad guy ™️ can cross reference separately between them and get the same story

E.g . They’ve all decided that the fake Shane secret is that there’s a secret 100’th cavern and the only way to get there is with a shadowclan escort (explains why will had that shadowclan stuff and where the Shanes disappear to)

Considering how Eli was acting and the fact Gar more then likely spilled the Journal belonged to Jimmo Shane, yeah, they probably came up with a fake Shane Secret to cover for the real one as a just in case measure.

Granted the majority of Gar's highered help turned on him the moment Eli destroyed the Journal, it doesn't erase the fact a Shane went out of their way to stop whatever Gar was doing, steal something of value and then burn it to ash to prevent others from reading it.

Let alone the fact that something of value being the Journal of a former Shane, and possibly containing the answers to anything about Slugterra or the Shane family.

No doubt Gar posted, and is still posting what he knows on the SlugNet, and other Burning World truthers as well. And this isn't covering the potential in universe crack theory that spawned from Elis actions in A Distant Shore that the Shane's have a connection to the Burning World because why else would a Shane risk everything like that if it wasn't important?

The gang going out of their way to cover it up further and make fake leads is a real possibility.

They would want to create as much doubt and spread as much false information they can in the aftermath of something like that. Maybe even make a few fake accounts and post nonsense on speculation sights to throw ppl off.

yesssss! also keep in mind that, like alot of times they do things in the show, its because 1) the calls are in remote areas that wouldn't be under jurisdiction of a cavern authority, or 2) (the big one) the cavern authorities can't do it/can't be trusted to do it. Think every time w blakk, or the game master, or Munch and CC respectively who scared off all the locals, or Futuria cavern, where quentin possessed new tech they couldn't beat; and even in the later era, and in the east, they fought off general bad actions, but especially those that were evil on their power level (dai fu, emperor, goon, the crystal monster, and so on). they're like, special operations/the rebels against the evil political force lmaoooo

aaaaaaaand, if you ever need a historical reference for how law is kept in this lawless outlands, look up stuff about the american wild west. It think theres alot of great comparisons with how small towns/counties operated in the 19th/early 20th century to how the caverns do in slugterra.

thanks for mentioning me i feel so famous :)

i always wondered, shane gang but a murder mystery? i mean, there is alota crime realistically people could be dying, if not them, who handles that?

:O

This was actually rambled about briefly before, and I'm kinda exploring it is a fic I'm working on rn,

But i think the general idea is that each individual Cavern Authorities deals with it.

If the Shane Gang where to happen on the crime, either the aftermath or as it's activity happening depending on the crime the outcome would be different as to how it's dealt with.

Petty theft? Don't worry! Shane Gang is on it!

Kidnapping? Depending on the situation, they would work with the Cavern Authorities or be on standby if needed, though unlikely.

Murder??? report what they know and offer assistance in dealing with the case until they are no longer needed or have to move on to the next mission. But still keeps tabs on it.

Serious offenders being shipped off to Stalagmite 17

Ultimately though, it's heads or tails, remember the Unbeatable Master was technically murdered by Blakk and he faced no legal repercussions for that.

The Caverns, as my good friend mrros-e would say, is a lawless outlands.

Each settlement has its own rules and regulations that are enforced to various degrees by those in charge.

So the Gang can take down a murderer, but it would ultimately be up to the Caverns legal system and Authorities to deal with the aftermath.
