They Have Absolutely Recited The Entire Avatar Intro Together At Least Once, Especially After They Tell

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.

okay so i know NOTHING about how illnesses work. However, would the Shane family's genetics probably stemming from both slugterran and surface humans effect disease tolerance? for all we know, maybe his genetic make-up from both slugterrans and surface beings in his bloodline make him resilient to certain stuff we'd consider potentially harmful to him.

not to mention - eli hasn't been walled from slugterra bacteria his whole life. Will went back and forth, and his slugs did, too! Maybe Eli got all the slugterra sicknesses on the surface when he was a kid and Will and Jimmo had to come up with clever excuses to doctors to not let the secret out.

Quickly circling back to the one post about Eli having to go to the Doctor

I just remembered a fun fact about diseases.

(That you weird obsession with the Medieval Era)

Eli Shane, should be getting sick.

Even if he's up to date with his shots from the surface, unless Will snuck vaccines for any diseases for Slugterra, Eli should be contracting some kind of illness exclusive to the Caverns.

On top of that, Eli also poses a risk to the 99 Caverns as well because, Chicken Pox, Polio, mumps- hell the common flu from the surface would wreck havoc on the Vitamin D deficient residents of the Caverns.

And this isn't covering, like potential allergies exclusive to Slugterra. I bet you there is at least one person who is allergic to slug's, or a specific kind of slug.

So with that context in mind,

While at the Doctors, they do a quick allergy test and, turns out, Eli is allergic to the vines/plants made by Vindrill Slugs, and a very specific deep Sea Cavern fish.

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!

The Blakk Gala | Slugterra Community Event

by @ ariaterramoon

bless every animator who worked on eli's facial expressions fr

Something i made cause I can't take it anymore but thankfully slugterra and some other fandoms keeps me alive :)

Good, it means we'll be able to build up the young!Will content in the fandom! Keep on soldier, I shall join you when Shane's Get Hurt is complete!!!

I am currently working on something, and all I have to say for myself is this:

Will Shane is just a silly little guy, your honor! He's silly, very un-serious, and just wants to have fun before getting bonked with the trauma hammer

aww, thanks!!! That's one of my fav works I've made, I need to write more juneli :)

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

DJ Beso's mix of the og '86 Meet the Mets tune with Jose's hit OMG continues to be a hell of an earworm for me ❤️‍🔥 enjoy

METS ARE HEADIN' TO CALI PEOPLE

it keeps going, it just keeps going. W a Lindor grand slam to make a 1-0 into a 1 - 4.

Holy heck, they have been incredible. These Mets are good, but they also have a CULTURE - memes, plenty of team spirit, resilience in their harshest moments. They are at the top of the game, but that's not too special, there's a fantastic team that makes it every year in the mlb - this team brings JOY to every victory, moments to every score card. That's what makes 2024 so magical. And actually, that's the energy that's brought the Mets to winning the World Series their first time right? The little team who was the worst in baseball in 1964 won 5 years later (ish, been a while since I've seen the stat). It's where all the losin' Mets jokes started, and where the Mets got all their quirkiness from. And then they smashed peoples expectations in 1969 and then they also got the "amazins" and the "miracles" and the "you gotta believe"s. It's the type of team where you're not looking for a result - ur watching a ride. And holy HECK we're getting it.

LGM!!!

it's actually confuzzling me rn, what that average slugterran knows.

Eli knew the deep caverns, but not dark bane specifically, or that dark water exists. Kord talks about dark water like it's something trolls have stories about, but not much experience with. and the Shane's have a drop for the chasm that leads to the portal from what lies beneath, which feels overkill in terms of hiding their stuff. Unless:

maybe they know of the deep caverns, but it's more of a legend that's considered probably true to people, like dark water. Like they know there's a hell down there, but till...recent history...no one went down there, so who knows what was down there? And the Shane's were fine with that very shallow understanding.

this assumption is also helped by the common misconception of the shadow clan. Slugterra society's view of them is based on legend, even though they are easier to see, and definitely believed to be real. Maybe slugterrans know it very basically as "the evil ppl in hell and the evil shadow clan fought like a trillion years ago, ooo scary", and only a few experts know the truth (blakk reading the sacred texts possibly depicting this history comes to mind).

...I'm sure I'm missing a line in some early episode that clears things up, but the show actually does a decent job of giving us the smallest possible clues ever and keeping this fandom alive on 40% "WAIT I JUST REALIZED" moments, so I'd love to hear any scenes you all remember that can help this discussion

Why did it take 4 rewatches of s1 to realize Eli says "if blakk has buisness w the deep caverns we don't know what else can can do" at the end of the deadweed episode?

meaning, will ACTUALLY told him about the deep caverns?!?!? And knew the whole time?!?
