AYEEEEEEEEE
Going back to redeem characters who else do you know would be redeemed? And why?
Honest?
I don't really know-
There are a lot of fun minor antagonists, all of which have their own charm.
But if I had to pick just one, it's would be Quintin
Quintin, as explained in Robo Slugs, wasn't originally a bad guy. He was just traumatized by being trapped in that Slug Pit as a kid.
He ended up with what if think was a justified phobia of Slug, thus leading him to make the Robo Slugs. But because of Slugterras' overall culture around Slug's, he was constantly laughed at and mocked for wanting to make the artificial Slugs. No one took him seriously.
Him going full Power Rangers Villain in Futuria Cavern was just, him providing his inventions where not a waste of time.
I mean, he did go about it the wrong way, don't get me wrong, Quintin was so in the wrong, but he wouldn't have been pushed to that point if the other scientist fucking listened to him, and actually took into account just how much research and innovation went into Robo Slugs(they are objectively cool)
And by the end of Robo Slugs, when Eli dumped that Slugs on Quintin, and the Slugs saved him from being crushed by the Mecha Mechas, Quintin, seemingly gets over his fear, at least enough that when he's recruited by Blakk, he doesn't mined working in close proximity to Ghouls, or firing them out of the Titan Tank.
I believe the reason Quintin sides with Blakk isn't just because Blakk bailed him out of jail time, but because Blakk, actually was interested in his work and what he was capable of, in comparison to the scientist from Futuria Cavern who brushed him off. Which is why he was so willing to make the Titan Tanks to begin with and probably even help refine the Gatling Blasters.
Should Quintin be redeemed, I want it to start off with him realizing, Blakk don't actually care about him, but what he brings to the table, his inventions.
Blakk piling on more and more and more work on Quintin, to the point Quintin asks for, like a few hours to just sleep and Blakk snapps threatening to haul Quintin back to Stalagmight 17 himself if he doesn't comply.
This leds to Quintin doing small acts of rebellion by delaying projects, putting in more obvious weak points in the Titan Tanks, to full on sabotage.
Eventually, probably around the aftermath of 'Light as Day' while Blakk is still in the Deep Caverns, Quintin takes as much shit as he can, and leaves Blakk Industries, settles in a new Cavern under a new identity, and lives a more regular life as a local inventor who helps out fixing stuff, and making things.
I see him being an informant as well, like leaking info anonymously about Blakk Industries on forums for the Shane Gang or anyone else who wants to take the fight to Blakk themselves.
This healed my Tron: Uprising trauma
I'm once again contributing to the tron fandom
uh. here i guess, just uploaded this thing on it.
and now I have a new HC. Not a super real one, more of a crack one, but hear me out.
the Slugterra fandom wiki. Far better than the "official" one, but still, has its flaws. Most info is old, some pages have very little/wrong info, it doesn't make clear where the info comes from (the show vs the games), and the biggest pages come from the content regarding the first ten episodes of the show.
now, idk who the editors are irl. But hey, you know what's an in-universe explanation?!?
ELI SHANE IS THE MAIN EDITOR.
no, really. He had more down-time right at the beginning of the show. He was fascinated w Slugterra and maybe he thought writing everything he learned down somewhere would help him remember it all. But the plot kicked in and he had less time, so now most pages are short and to the point - and only written in Eli's perspective, not some historian, so some stuff is misleading or wrong. And he mainly used it before A Distant Shore - afterwards, he could just ask his friends if he forgot something. But it's still fun to update, so for anything big enough, he added a little bit to the archive. Eli Shane is the editor, of course he is!!!!! It makes SENSE!
okay, now w this headcanon, it's time to reread Eli's page, something tells me this is gonna be fun

Gift Exchange Details! READ BEFORE COMPLETING THIS FORM!
This form doesn't send you a copy of your responses at the end, because that requires me to collect your email addresses, and I don't want those. If you think you made a mistake, or want to see what you submitted, contact Cyan to see!
This is a gift exchange to celebration gift-giving around the holidays hosted by Cyan! Join other Slugterra fans to create and gift fanfictions or fanart!
What Do We Give/Get?
Slugterra-related fanart or a fanfiction.
Your giftee will provide three gift prompts.
Please try to follow at least one of the prompts! Prompts can include canon, alternate universes (AU's), original characters (OC's), ships, situations, settings, etc.
The gift can be fanart for those artsy folks, or a fanfiction for those wondrous writers!
Gifts will be posted at any point on December 25 in your time zone! That way we don't have to worry about syncing up different time zones. Once it's the 25th wherever you are, go nuts and post your work!

How Do We Join?
Fill out this Google Form! It will provide Cyan with all the information needed to assign your gifter.
READ THROUGH THE FORM CAREFULLY. PLEASE. I'M BUSY TOO PLEASE MAKE MY LIFE EASY
Are There Limits/Rules?
ALL gifts MUST be safe for work. This means no sexually explicit, overly suggestive, or gorey material. Ships, angst, and minor injuries are allowed, but nothing extreme.
Please provide 3 prompts for your gifter so they have something to choose from. To make things easier for your gifter, who may not thrive with ships or original characters, only one prompt can include original character(s) and only one prompt can continue a ship(s). That way, if there's something they may not be comfortable with or not confident with, nobody's worrying. This is meant to be fun, not extra stress around the holidays!
If your prompt requires a reference (like an original character reference), there will be a space to attach or link references.
Please put thought and effort into your gift, but don't stress about making a masterpiece! Just like real-life gift exchanges usually have a price range, we want to try to keep things relatively similar across the board. Take a couple hours, but don't do, like, a ten hour project that's got you stressing!
If you have any questions, just ask Cyan on Discord, Tumblr (xcyansparksx), or Instagram (cyansparks).
truth is, I'm a Mets fan, and while thats not a big deal usually, this week has been a goddamn MOVIE PLOTLINE and all my free time has been devoted to keeping up with 2024 Met Lore.
for example: few days ago Pete Alonso and his wife went pumpkin picking and he brought a "lucky pumpkin" with him for the game that evening and he gushed about it being like a baseball in an interview.
gosh this team is running on dorks and memes its wonderful
the lore. The dialogue. RORY. The everything. Adored this show, now if you'll excuse me, I shall visit its ao3 for...a little while. I recommend it to everyone with a pulse. Watch it. For Rory!!!!
my love is at war
Hey there just read your story and I loved it 🥰 can’t wait for the next chapter😁.
Now for my question: When Dr. Blakk was defeated where did all the other villains go? Not once did I see twist, C.C, John Bull or Blakks other goons after that. What exactly do you think happened?
P.s I keep hearing that we might get slugterra back, but no confirmation yet if it true or not.
Let me know what you think.
aww, thank you so much!!! I'm so glad, it's got me obsessed w writing again :)
I think, in the final battle of s2, Blakk didn't care for them anymore, since dark bane are super powerful - they'd be more useful as cavern enforcers, probably, and we're off-screen being evil that way. after the battle -depends. Cc comes from a rich family and was known as a sport slugslinger - he might've gone back to that, he might be laying low to go back to that in a few years. This is probably true for most of the jock lackeys actually - shooting sports has always been a sport for either the really desperate trying to protect ppl, OR the super wealthy who like wearing thousands of dollars of gear to show off. Twist is...well, I explore it in ch2 (already deep into it), but essentially, it comes down to if he's redeemed, and when. Maybe he wasn't at the citadel but super loyal. Maybe he planned to rh. After master shanais murder. Or maybe he went back to underground foolery, as he did pre-the new kid, I associated w Blakk but still in organized crime. What is certain is that, after s2, twist had been publically for Blakk, like Maurice - both of them would need ALOT of help branching out of the underground due to their reputations. So they'd stay there... unless some fanfic writer used their unclear future as a way to breach the plot hole of how the goon got into the deep caverns..............stay tuned for ch2
And Imma be so real - I'm not holding hope for them coming back. Nerd corps is gone, and I couldn't watch ascension - not because of the animation, because it did something slugterras never done - go with the boring plot line. Like really, no kord or pronto, delving into slug biology instead of EVERYTHING ELSE, and bringing back blakk for a NOT good reason? It strips the heart of the original show. It would take a lot of money and good intentions to continue the show decently, and god help me, this shows been so LUCKY with not having any contradictory lore - get the wrong writers, and it'll break like a cheap pencil. So it could come back...but I'll be building up my ao3 regardless. I'll take the Slugterra canon into my own hands, and keep it alive through my fun obsession with it, side by side w all my homies online who wanna do the same :)
