This Actually Opens Up Quite A World Of Potential. C.C., In The Trade, Really Makes It Seem Like He Was

...I'll be posting another fic tonight

Why, why do I do this to myself

The title is currently "Slugterra Brothers" because I accidentally gave Eli and Kord FMA Ed and Al vibes WEEEEEEEE

If the shane gang (plus tad, twist, and junjie) had childern in the future, what kinda dad's (and or mom) would they be like?

I have actually thought about this.

A lot.

Believe it or not.

Eli: He's a good dad. Eli has more or less decided that he's staying in Slugterra, he doesn't have to do what his dad did, in leaving the Caverns for periods of time to spend with his kid. but it dose raise some concerns. I see Eli being very protective. And he is really trying to be present in his kids life more often then his own dad was in his own. Then there's the Shane Secrets, I think Eli would be open with them as the kid gets older, he keeps the 'no slinging till 15 rule', there are a few things Eli will let the kid figure out themselves, but I don't think he'll say a thing about the 'Burning World' unless absolutely necessary, after all why tell when heading Top Side isn't really important? And I see that causing problems down the line. over all he is trying his best, and is a lot more present.

Trixie: best mom! she is a little strict but someone has to make sure the kid has some common cense. Trixie is going to document every moment of that kids life. she is going to be exited if her kid shares a love of film making, and would tech them everything she knows. See her encou raging the kid to try new things, and finding their own path outside of Trixie's own heroics.

Kord: top tier wish he was my dad. Kord is the dad. much like Trixie he's a little strict but, again, kid's gotta have some rules to live by. he will teach them everything he knows about engineering, especially how to make a Jetpack out of a Mecha Beast. 'you never know!'. Kord has also been shown to be real perceptive so I don't think the kid's are going to have an easy time hiding things from him.

Pronto: He is surprisingly okay at being a father. he's got the tails to tell at bedtime, the dad jokes locked in. and can and will stab someone if they mess with his kid. and, I guess, this dose mean the kid is like, the prince/princess/heir of Molemound? so their probably going to get spoiled lol. and I bet Pronto is going to make it a whole deal of them following in his foot steps as a tracker, maybe feign a little jealousy is the kid turns out to be a better tracker be Pronto is like, super proud. he will constantly bring up having navigated the Cavern of Time to the time it gets to be that one story the kid and their friend's dread hearing and sigh/roll their eyes when Pronto starts to monolog. all in all, Pronto loves his kid, they may get on his nerves but he wouldn't have it any other way.

Junjie: GIRL DAD GIRL DAD GIRL DA- *Cough - Cough* sorry, just had to get that out. Nervous wreck of a man. but he's doing his best damn it. I keep going back to it, but the Goon messed him up man. he is afraid, even after all this time he's going to mess this kid up, and hurt them. He dose not want what happened to him to happen to his kid, so Junjie is protecting them by having them learn and master Slug-Fu or so help him.

assuming they get redeemed

Twist: Congratulations Twist and his rat self is raising a expert survivalist and con artist. Once a street rat always a street rat. While the 'home situation' may be stable atm, Twist preps his kid for whatever he can think of. Twist 2.0 one might say. over all Twist care's, and dose not what his kid to go through what he did. oh and, depending on the context, a rivalry with Eli's kid is encouraged lol. the embodiment of;

"Sir, your child got into a fight at lunch"

"... Okay, but did they win?"

kids real good at acting as well :)

Tad: has had time to reflect, and after everything, he's trying to brake by cycle. He has his moments, Tad isn't always sure what he's doing, he is constantly asking the others(if able to) about what he should do. Tad dose try to hide most of the Blakk legacy from the kid, but it ends up crashing down on the kid sooner or later, and at that point... best to deal with each revelation as it happens.

-

over all, they would make sure their kids where ready for whatever there world threw at them, but hope that they never had to deal with anything on the level of what they did.

History must not repeat itself. They all worked too hard for that to happen.

I DID IT, I POST WITHIN THE HOUR!

slugterra ao3, get ready, content has arrived

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.

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!

My friends and I were just talking about the Shane family tree and we realized it gets a bit confusing.

Like Jimmon Shane from my perspective didn’t have kids ( maybe he did have kids and we never knew about them) yet will being his nephew takes over the Shane name after he retires. But shouldn’t have gone to his will’s father ( Eli’s grandfather) instead so that way it would have been easier to pass down through generation to generation.

Man just thinking about it makes me and my friends head spin 😵‍💫 Really wish the writers could have done something about this to make it more clear about the family tree.

YES YES IT IS!!!! i actually wrote a fic exploring this a bit called "Burned Away" on ao3 - and it will not be my last time exploring the older shanes. i love them!

My theory actually has to do with Master Shanai. The most likely explanation, disregarding the what-ifs about will's parents dying and whatnot, is that Master Shanai only chooses one student to train - hence, if there's shanes that are cousins/siblings who would take up the mantle in the same era, Master Shanai would choose the most combat-worthy, or who has the most heart, that type of deal. And then the unchosen spend more time on the surface, or specialize in something like tech or recon or just helping where they can (especially as they grow older and gotta care for kids). in Burned Away, I made will's dad the one chosen by shanai and jimmo mainly raised will instead, on the surface ,while his brother (wills dad) was the acting shane, and they would swap out every once and a while. I also made jimmo a nerd about slug biology and health but thats like a complete HC.

Point is, its most likely that theres more shanes, and we just know the ones who were chosen by master shanai. I wrote that fic for drama and all, but its much more likely that jimmo was the chosen pupil, but had a brother/cousin and they had a kid, and in the next generation, it was nephew will shane who would be chosen next. This actually makes more sense than just "the kid gets it" - it makes sure the most promising shane gets the title and if any of them turn evil shanai just wouldnt choose them. I think this is how the shanes have lasted so long. though, what has happened to make it so the family tree has dwindled and will had ONLY eli left for the next generation of shanes...that lies in HC territory.

What are your thoughts about the southern and northern caverns if the show had kept on going? And what would you think they would look like in your perspective?

aye, thanks for the question!

the north and southern caverns....if u mean like as new realms entirely, imma be so real for a second, im not too big on headcanoning other worlds (and oc's either) for slugterra. like i love the creativity, but theres so much in canon to draw from and expand that i feel very, very aimless and antithetical against the show for really giving the idea much thought. the west and the east cover all the caverns of the world for me, and theres already SO MUCH space for headcanon-ing different cultures and characters there, especially in the eastern caverns! not to mention the burning world, which can kinda be as close to real life as we want it to be.

the northern and southern caverns do exist tho - they are the northern and southern caverns of the 2 worlds we know of in the show in my head, and the wikis dont say much about them. They are more barren than the more central caverns due to the extreme temperatures and historically being less of a place to live, and more as a place for researchers (and capitalists?) to explore and study. Tis could also be a hub for the explorer types like Andre from a distant shore, and hunting big creature types (because im sure the less populous creatures we see in the show live in those outskirts, hence why we only see a cyclops in a city center once in the west). I also like the idea of slugterran history from long ago happening there, and it being a bit of a taboo to explore (except for the explorers themselves, who can point to this taboo danger to explain how cool they are and ask for funding) - in my fic We Can Be Saved (WHICH I WILL FINISH) i go into a northern cavern mentioned in one of the mobile games and it was really fun adding slugterra history to Bonny Cavern, webbing the history of boon docs with the shadow clan, the shanes, cave trolls, and humans desperate for a healer.

I havent thought as much about the southern caverns, but I imagine large sentient bugs being more popular there (like the spiders from slug-fu showdown, the cave of which i hc to be in the south), and it being so dangerous that only experienced hunters go there for game. I especially like the detail in slugterra that all the caverns implied to be more southern dont have alot of life and flora - and most notably, a water source. living beings like not traveling for water! and apparently Mr. Saturday is from there, and considering his accent, using a staff, and face paint, maybe there is a secluded cavern of humans down there who live pretty differently! we know the cave trolls and moles have some different clans, i can see a slugterra where most humans banded together, but one or 2 caverns stayed pretty tight-knit and away from broad society, mainly the ones on the frays near the end of the world/shadow clan territory (that dont provide mining/exploration oppurtunnity for the main culture, of course, like the king of sling's cavern). I also like the idea of there being less roads in the north and south, due to the cave trolls knowing less about the inhabitants there and not making deals to pave their caverns, so naturally the average slugterran citizen won't off-road to these places without very good reason.

and mostly, i think there'd be more shane and shadow clan secrets, especially in the northeast edge of the map. theres a reason the king of sling and the town there is sparse, but very much alive. i can totally see there being a shane hideout nearby.

also? none of any of this applies to the eastern north and south caverns. from what little we saw, the eastern shadow clan actually is okay with other species's, and the groups are more integrated, which means that the cultures on the fringes of their map may be anything from spiritually relevant caverns to just regular cities with roads and relations to the rest of their world. no matter what hc's i'd go with, i'd want to keep this contrast, as i think this really highlights what slugterra is good at - implicitely making the shanes and their world an incredibly sketcky topic if you think and compare it to other places for too long.

Going back to Maurice being liked by everyone at Blakk industries, how much you want to bet that when he leaves to run errands for Dr.Blakk the whole place goes nuts without him there? Because I definitely can see that happening.

Yes, absolutely.

Blakk may be the fear factor in keeping everyone in line, but it's Maurice who keeps the entire citadel from blowing up!

On more than one occasion, Maurice has had to calm Blakk down and break up fights.

The man can't take a brake for ten minutes without something going wrong!

And when he leaves to run errands, he has to leave a detailed list behind on what to do in an emergency for the temp guy/gal filling in for however lone he's gone.

The list ranges from 'keeping track of the Ghouls' to 'list of things to try to calm Dr. Blakk down before evaluating the building'

And then, even when he comes back, there is still a fire that needs to be put out.

Maurice loves his job, 10/10 better than what he used to do when Viggo Dare was in charge, but sometimes he needs a brake. Especially from Blakk-
