YES YES YES YES YES GLORIOUS ART WHAT AN HONOR YOUR HONOR

I finally made it.

oh I made another graph as well, very relevant to that first one as you will see

cross-examining this totally accurate to canon data charts will lead us to some marvelous conclusions

And please note that eli's mom, burpy, and the goon are not factored into the data, simply because we do not have enough data to place them anywhere concretely.

Also note that I tried to stick to canon - we all have our own theories about those three, and maybe different opinions of the vibes of those depicted above, but I attempted to keep all HC's out of the charts. Feel free to make your own headcanon chart about his situationships, or leave a comment here, i dunno, lmao why did i spend an hour on this, im kinda proud of this but also like, why did i do this-

so i made a slugterra youtube channel

uh. here i guess, just uploaded this thing on it.

Eli sounds like a gerbil in the French dub of Slugterra and its so perfect

Slugterra Holiday Gift Exchange!

I had interest on Discord and Instagram for this, so I'm posting it here too! I'm hosting a Slugterra holiday gift exchange. If you're interested in giving/receiving fanart/fanfiction, fill out this Google Form: https://forms.gle/rvcGYpDFUkFECujA6

The form will close at 11:59pm EST on Monday, November 25. Gifts can be given at any point whenever it's December 25th in your time zone! I've pasted the details from the form in the read more. If you have any questions, let me know!

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!

When you post your work, please tag/contact your giftee!

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).

okay if we're both actively writing a fic about will shane jailed by judge logan and being young and fun while breaking out im gonna laugh so damn hard

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

. . ."He is a bad boy with a tainted heart"

haha, love it! Ur so right. I'd just like to add a brief HC;

so I'm a rifle instructor at a gun range for a junior club. At the end of our sessions the instructors pick up the shells - only the ones to be reused or sold as scrap, though. It's possible that depending on the material (being biodegradable or valuable) slingers would just leave it there.

furthermore (this is probs wack to the average person oops) a lot of kids like going into the firing range (WHEN THE RANGE IS COLD) to help clean up the shells, and it's not uncommon that when a kid sees a cool looking one (it's big, it's dirty, it's dented, it's neon pink, it's green, it was rare ammo, it was EXPENSIVE ammo, the shape is funny) they'll pick it up and keep it as a keepsake. I got a few from my own junior days. (Just please, please wash you hands after touching ammo shells. Cold water. Must be cold water. 30 seconds. Soap. Orange Non-lead soap if you can. Lead exposure is NOT FUN.)

so....new hc, I think kids in Slugterra pick up shells for fun, plus they are useful when getting older and they're learning how to shoot. But if they're really well-working or expensive, or could be sold for scrap, the slingers themselves go through great lengths to get back their shells. (Not to mention - the rarer the gun (like Eli's), the less compatible the chamber is to the average shell., unless shell and chamber sizes and blaster force have been following a set standard across blaster shops for decades already). They would not be laying on the ground for long. You would not believe how obsessed range officers get at their scrap metal deposit side-hussle...the janitor stole the lead my coach was gonna deposit one year...

This has been bugging me ever since I got into Slugterra: Where the hell do slug shells even come from? Do slingers pick them up after duels? Is there a limit to the number of times a shell can used to sling? I have my own ideas but I like hearing other people.

Im dumb when it comes to technical stuff, but for me, these three Slugidoes help when having to think about this kind of thing

[SI-2 Blasters and You]

[SI-6 Slug Retrieval]

[SI-14 A Bried History of Slugslinging]

I SWARE there was a Slugidoe that explained the Shell/Berrals thing, but I might have hallucinated it, or it was explained in an episode briefly-

But the long of my take is that they are manufactured by Balster manufacturers and are used to house slugs while on the move and for loading them into a blaster.

Before Blasters Slingers(and slugs) would use just about anything to help a slug reach their Valosimorph.

The Shells/Berrals are reusable, and depending on the type of blaster you own, it will determine how much of a mess you make in a duel lmao

For instance, there are Gatling typ blasters but they don't fart out Shells/Berrals like a Gatling gun would after firing, the Shells are hooked to the blaster, like a revolver, and rotate, allowing a Slinger to shoot multiple slugs in quick succession, and reload multiple slugs as once, at the disadvantage of it being heavy, and take a bit longer to load.

One Shell/Berrals Blasters, like Eli's typically have you pushing out the previous shell to load in a new one with a slug in it already, but I believe it's been shown a slug can be loaded into a blaster with a Shell already in it and fired.

Over all clean up depends on the situation.

Tournament? Cleaning crew most likely.

Duel against an enemy? Probably collecting them after the fights over, or there probably staying on the ground, see the Episode Bandoler of Brothers for an example of that.

Probably a whole job to go out and collect them.

Overall, Shells/Berrals are a reusable resource, with the only limitations being how many you can carry on your person at a time and what's needed for the model of blaster you own!

I also like to think they are customizable!

Blakk Industries makes red Berrals, though they might just be stained from Dark Water lol

HC about Mario Bravera

we know he went back to his show due to his cameo in Slug Fu Showdown. But when did he restart his career?

Lets ask another question. Blakk gained low-level employees as s2 went on because after the beast forge he consolidated his power and many people were probably forced to work for him. And we know the real reason why no new, high-level villains show up near this end - as a show, its not wise to introduce too many new characters at once, especially at the climax of the story. BUT, still, it does ring suspicious that, other than more regular guards, there's no more well-known slingers who turned to Blakk's side.

UNLESS: Mario Bravara's show. He didn't start slinging again quite yet, but unlike the shane gang, relying on the shane status but still obviously run by kids, he had a cultural pull. AND, c'mon, he was famous and gave that up - anything he did while returning to the spotlight would be worldwide talked about.

I think he restarted his show, and didn't exactly go the Trixie route and gain footage from the warring caverns - he did interviews with Blakk Inc. survivors. Imagine? Celebrity comes around out of nowhere, just as charismatic, and this time, there's a deadweed minor talking about how he's had breathing problems since blakk inductries basically killed him, took him away from his family, and left him to rot. Next week: a mother who was forced to sign away her home for the Slugterran Express. Gretchel and his crew, describing in horrific detail the quick and for all we know deadly attack on the beast forge. Scientist staring in horror at the data coming out about dying caverns and what ghouls do to their homes, their caverns, and their resources as a society. The Lumino Ore minors with guns pointed at them as they still surrendered their rights. ALL these stories, on blast.

Maybe it wasn't helping Eli directly, but the publicity maybe helped the West move on quicker than it would have if Blakk's war crimes were left buried. And stopped more better shooters from joining Blakk's cause - Blakk has the greedy shooters, but maybe Mario prevented more fame-and-people-pleaser-hungry shooters from joining, too.

Big day for annoying people (ace attorney fans) (affectionate) (me)
