@thesansininsanity I did my best 🫡 (though I'll be honest I lost my own plot about halfway through lol) I'll put it below the cut just because I did manage to write quite a bit for someone who hasn't written anything in about a year. It's a little over 1k words, which I am proud of (I also wrote nearly all of it while in a car for 4 hours)

I had also initially meant to write more but also immediately forgot what i wanted to add so this is all I've got lol

Eli took a deep breath, held it until it hurt his lungs and exhaled again. He did it several more times, trying to ready himself. Burpy chirped from his shoulder, trying to reassure him. He only managed a weak grin before turning back to the door. He took one last breath, let it go and then pushed the door open. Sitting before him, just a few feet behind some rusty metal bars, was Twist. He looked like shit, if Eli was being honest. Twist’s hair had a few small clumps missing from it, and the oily sheen was a pretty clear sign he hadn’t bathed for a while. His jacket was missing a sleeve, and the shirt underneath looked like it was barely holding on. Dust had settled along his clothes like he was an old statue long forgotten, with just as many scuff marks on him, but Eli knew that was because of where’d been found. 

Wandering on the edge of the caverns, out in the Wilds. It was a memory that reminded Eli of Twist’s old mentor, Dr. Thaddeus Blakk. Once when Blakk had tried to poison the lightwell, he had been dragged off by the Shadowclan, and then was found days later wandering the edge of the 99. Given Twist’s currently bedraggled appearance, Eli had to guess something similar had transpired to leave Twist in such a state.

Twist lifted his head up, flashing an overconfident grin, like this was an insignificant moment, and he wasn’t cuffed behind bars. “I was wondering when you’d show. How long did it take you to start riding after Coop called? You probably left behind all your friends just to come here.” He spoke calmly, but his voice was hoarse, small cracks littered in his speech. He sounded tired, despite his relaxed demeanor.

“They’re outside. I told them I wanted to have this confrontation alone before you’re escorted to Stalagmite 17. You can rot there with Saturday, since I have a feeling you’re not interested in turning over a new leaf.” Eli responded sharply, trying to keep the edge out of his voice. He kept one hand resting on his blaster, not ready to let his guard down even if Twist was behind bars.

“Tch. High and mighty as always, Eli. Always so above it all. Does it feel good to have finally won? Does it make you happy to see me again, knowing I won’t escape the most secure prison the 99 has to offer?” Twist’s grin twisted into an angry scowl, his words coming out with a venom Eli was familiar with. 

Twist leaned back against the wall, turning his face away from Eli. “Go ahead, gloat like I’m sure you want to. Blakk’s gone, the ghouls have been cured, and the Darkbane have been sealed away again. A new era of peace is settling on the 99, all ushered in by you. What a cause for celebration.” Twist growled bitterly, his hands clenching into fists as he turned to glare at Eli again. “You just couldn’t have left it alone, could you? You just always had to meddle, had to be the hero. Well guess what Eli, you’ve done it! You’re a hero to damn near everyone in the 99. Is it like you always dreamed it would be?”

“No. It’s not,” Eli muttered, mostly to himself but Twist still heard. “I always imagined my dad would still be here, but he’s gone. I don’t know if he’s dead or alive, but I do know that he’d be proud. Can you say the same for yours?” Eli knew that it was low-hanging fruit, to bring up their fathers, but he couldn’t resist the chance to get under Twist’s skin.

“What do you know?! You know NOTHING of what I’ve been through. Nothing of what I’ve endured to stay alive. I sure hope your dad is dead so you can understand a fraction of my pain, you-” Twist didn’t get the chance to continue his string of insults because Eli, the golden boy of Slugterra, slammed his hands against the bars of the cell.

“Who do you think you are? You’re not Blakk! You’re not intimidating, you’re just a lying, backstabbing traitor who can’t accept that his miserable excuse for a father decided he’d rather JUMP OFF A CLIFF than just return the slugs he stole! What happened to your dad was never the fault of MY dad but the fault of yours. Your father would still be here if he’d just listened to my dad, but instead he decided he’d kill himself AND you.”

 Eli took a quick breath before continuing. “You’d be dead too if it weren’t for my dad and you know that! My dad was far from a perfect man, but he did everything he could to ensure the safety of both people and slugs. You can’t continue to blame him or me for the issues you refuse to see.”

Eli straightened back up, Burpy quietly chirping to try to calm him down, to no avail. “You’re alone now Twist. I’m sure the Shadowclan took Loki from you, Blakk is gone, and you’re going to be locked up for the harm you’ve caused to both people and slugs alike. You ran like a coward from Lumino cavern, and I had to fix it. You helped Blakk to kill Master Shanai, and I can only imagine all the harm you’ve caused since I last saw you. You’re being condemned to the fate you brought upon yourself. There’s no manipulating your way out of this one.”

Twist stared at Eli, seeing the piercing hatred in his eyes was enough to make him shut up. He dropped his gaze to the ground, not able to form a response to everything that had just been said. The silence continued on for several minutes before Eli spoke again.

“I really wish you’d never chosen Blakk over us, but you did. I can’t change the past but I will do everything I can to ensure the future of the caverns never sees this level of destruction again. I hope you’ll learn to take some accountability for the hand you had in that.” Eli turned around and walked out afterwards, the door slamming shut behind him. Twist could only sit there in shock, staring at the spot his former rival had been standing in.

I'm bored and need to get back into writing but my brain can't come up with ideas

If anyone has any one-shot ideas for slugterra (ONLY SFW PLEASE GOD) you should reply to this post :)

I'll post them here (and on ao3 if thats requested)

[slugterran-fanatic]

It occurs to me that I have mistyped some things in this post. Namely, "No Hiding In the Shadows Anymore" instead of "Into The Shadows"

I meant to put the name of my fic and just. Didn't. I'm a fool.

Also i mispelled the croods and i deadass only just noticed lmaooo

Restarted Into The Shadows because I didn't like the small amount I'd written but now I can't think of what to write at all. This is Agonizing‼️‼️

I want to bash my head into a wall and hope an idea falls out,

like that one gif of grug from The Groods trying to give himself a concussion for an idea

[slugterran-fanatic]

a writing competition i was going to participate in again this year has announced that they now allow AI generated content to be submitted

their reasoning being that "we couldn't ban it even if we wanted to, every writer already uses it anyway"

"Every writer"?

come on

Staring at a blank google doc and wishing I knew what words were

For dialogue especially, like how do people interact

i am not a peoples, im 10 slugs in a trenchcoat

[slugterran-fanatic]

Okay but like

what if Twist vengeance arc, and he gets locked away for good at Stalagmite 17

What if Mr Saturday returns for a third time

Maybe even for a fourth time

And maybe just maybe, the Power Trips become relevant
