#slugterra the emperor

[gayelishane]

FUCK i remember how they introduced the emperor in the eastern caverns again its so fucking funny. he was STARING AT THE WALL OF HIS THRONE ROOM. WASNT EVEN ON HIS CHAIR. HARDBALLING A WALL

[verycorrectslugterraquotes]

You have done nothing but destroy my life, I hope you both die.

The Emperor to Junjie and Eli

[slugterra-twisted-ends]

"The Emperor, sitting on his throne... represents stability, rules, and authority. Every symbol on this card is representation of strength and power. The Emperor may be old and wise, but he is strong and stubborn and represents the result of taking firm and deliberate action."

Who better to be the Emperor card than the Emperor himself?

[megacristalixblue]

Me dieron ganas de dibujar personajes masculinos así que dibuje a héroes y villanos al azar de cada fandom que me gusta. También quería saber cómo se verían en mi estilo de dibujo y me gustaron los resultados.

Algo curioso que me pasó, mientras dibujaba a Jim y a Randy se me pasó la loca idea de shipearlos. No se lo tomen en serio si no quieren.

___________________________________________

I felt like drawing male characters so I drew random heroes and villains from each fandom I like. I also wanted to know how they would look in my drawing style and I liked the results.

Something curious that happened to me, while I was drawing Jim and Randy the crazy idea of ​​​​shipping them happened to me. Dont take it seriously if you don't want to.

SlugTerra Au Explanation! (Kinda told in a story way-)

Alright- so Here’s the explaining about The Au, kinda going more into it, And what changes and stuff, but only for the present stuff, basically this Au is a slightly more peaceful slugterra, the 99 caverns since…yknow- no ghouls? Expect for the ones in the eastern cavern cuz yknow- Emperor taking over and stuff…(I’m still developing this Au a bit! So still figuring things out I guess-)

@ariaterramoon I’m glad your loving the Au! I’m actually very happy! I know I already said it but thank you!! Love your artwork!

✨😭

So, now here’s The Info part! ( this is gonna be a little long-)

. . .

So, While being trained by unbeatable master, after a duel, taking a break, Thaddius is slightly injured, on his hand and Will happens to notice, a small little argument that was started by Thaddius pursues, with Thaddius claiming he was fine and didn’t need a Shane’s help, though after a display of genuine worry and concern by Will, it makes Thaddius suprised, as he’s used to no one caring about him and looking after himself.

He finally allows Will to help him, even if he’s slightly annoyed.

After this, a small conversation starts with them, and Will offers if he wants to be friends, Thaddius is hesitant, and confused, as he’s never had a friend before, but then decides to accept.

Their friendship-

After some time in training, Will discovers that Thaddius is mostly alone, having no place to stay, since he usually just figures something out, Will suggests that he could stay with him back at the Shane hideout, wanting to offer him shelter, but also thinking it would be good to have company, Thaddius thinks it’s pointless, since he can manage by himself and dosen’t need it, but will insists, and after enough nagging, Thaddius finally accepts. He seems like he doesn’t care, but once he sees Will smile and immediately lead him by grabbing his hand, He sneaks a smile, but hides it before Will noticed.

(He dosen’t like showing smiles, he feels weird about it-)

Meeting jimmo shane-

Of course it does not go well, once at the hideout, and some time passing with Will introducing a Video game to thadidus, and what it is, jimmo walks in, Will takes this moment to introduce the two, Unaware of how they previously met, jimmo and Thaddius do not get along, especially thaddius, still having that anger for being locked away for 6 months, while jimmo just thinks he’s still a criminal- bad guy yknow? Thaddius TRIES To get along with jimmo, just for Will’s sake so despite the tense tension, after a while of staying with him, Thaddius feels like he has a home kinda, for once he doesn’t feel alone, because he has someone, someone who cares about him.

🥲

So bassicly Thaddius learns to have fun, he grows accustomed to this, and actually learns to smile naturally, he’s still bit of a grumpy tough dude, but he’s more caring- And kinda gets worried when Will gets injured or anything, since wills like the only person he’s got-

Selection:

When will is picked, instead of it going like how cannon went, Thaddius feels worried of not seeing Will in a while, but with some reassurance from Will, he calms down, and feels a bit proud of him, they say goodbye as Will walks up the stairs, while Thaddius heads off, but not to slag rock cavern, not to viggo dare, to what he calls home, The home where he will wait for Will.

When will finishes his training, they reunite again. And they share a good hug, they were not enemies or rivals anymore, Thaddius was fine with that, and Will was happy with that, they share a friendly duel, just for old times sake.

(WOO OK- that’s out the way- so here’s some things about the Au!)

Will dosen’t call Dr.Blakk that, he just calls him Thaddius- as dr.Blakk dosen’t like it when he uses the new title of name, since he sees Will a good friend-

Tad does not exist in this Au-yeah so Thaddius was just focused on his projects and work that he didn’t have time to yknow, fall in love, get children, he didn’t really have interest in that-

😅

Twist is not evil in this Au! When the incident happens where his dad dies, Will Is unsure of what to do, and he lets dr.Blakk take care of him, after a bit, dr.Blakk gives him off to a lovely couple who are happy to take care of twist, so twist bassicly found a family to take care of him- (so in the future he dosen’t hate the Shane’s- still kinda nervous due to yknow the incident that happened with his father-)

Of course Dr.Blakk dosen’t ghoul slugs in this Au- he just tries to make them stronger in other way’s, yknow increase their strengths, while working on other things- (so using his power for good-) (he still kinda dosen’t really care about slugs, but he’s less heartless this time thanks to Will)

Dr.Blakk found burpy, and gave him to will- (Dr.Blakk and burpy still got a bit of beef with eachother…yeah-)

Dr.Blakk sort of knew Eli when he was little, Will told him about the secret of the Surface and as promised, dr.Blakk kept secret of it- so eli treats Dr.Blakk like family while Dr.Blakk deals with him like an annoyed tired dad-

😭

Dr.Blakk was the one who trained Eli once he arrived in slugterra, so yeah he got good training- and is more prepared than he was in the show- (still a clumsy doofus-)

[firephoenix23]

Why did Blakk have Burpy

At the time of the episode it makes sense but then when they introduce Junjie and Juju we find out that infurnues are supposed to be with the protectors of the caverns

Juju for example was with Yang. Junjie said that Yang his first ancestor came down to the Eastern Caverns about 88 generations ago. This means that Juju could be anywhere from 2,000 to 3,000 years old. This is a crazy number and a huge amount of generations of protectors for the Eastern Caverns

So the real question is if infuruses are supposed to be with the protectors of the caverns and stay with them for generations, why was Burpy with Blakk literally the worst person to be with. Well I have a two theories about this

1. The Shanes don’t know about this tradition because they haven’t been around as long

Personally from what he see from the difference between Eli and Junjie’s training to be protectors, it is like night and day. Junjie has been riding Juju since he was five. Eli learned how to ride Burpy by accident. Junjie speaks shadow clan. Eli has to use a device. Junjie has been preparing and training since he was young. Eli didn’t fire his first slug until he was 15. And don’t even get me started on slug fu. I could list so many other examples but those are just a few.

One could argue that the reason for all the training was because of the emperor but I also think when you have 88 generations of protectors that don’t constantly go up to the surface it makes perfecting certain skills better. I feel like the Shanes have only been around for maybe max 8 or 7 generations maybe even as little as 4. Not nearly enough time to know about every secret and tradition of Slugterra and the 99 caverns.

This would mean that Blakk, Will and Eli all had Burpy as a coincidence. It makes sense for Blakk to be going around Slugterra collecting slugs like he did when he was younger and selling them to the highest bidder. He probably saw Burpy and captured him keeping him as his own because he thought he looked cool or knew how powerful he was. Will and Eli being the protectors of Slugterra and getting Burpy, the slug that represents the protectors, was all just a happy accident. Unless…

2. Burpy was a new adult Infurnus

Let’s say the Shanes did know about the infurnuses only being with the protectors, why wouldn’t Burpy recognized Will? I remember seeing theories saying that Jimmo could have had Burpy and Dr. Blakk could have stolen him from Jimmo and while I like this theory I feel like it doesn’t really make any sense.

Burpy is loyal to a fault to Eli throughout the show I highly doubt that he would have stayed with Blakk just because he took him away from Jimmo. And even then Jimmo probably would have tried to get Burpy back knowing how important he was. Also the look Burpy gives Will when Blakk is about to shoot doesn’t look like he recognizes Will more like just doesn’t want to get involved in a fight with another innocent person.

So that leaves me with my second theory that Burpy was new grown adult infurnus. I like to think that infurnuses are like phoenixes and that they live for a few thousand years and then pass away creating a new infurnus. I think this would explain why there is only one in each cavern and why they live for so long. If Jimmo’s old infurnus passed away it would explain why Will didn’t have one when he went to fight Blakk. It could also explain why Blakk said the new Shane was more a problem, Will probably knew that Blakk would have the infurnus and tracked him down more.

The same theory goes that Blakk probably found Burpy newly grown in a cavern that he was destroying for his new railway system and probably took him for himself. Plus if Burpy was a newly grown Infurnus captured by Blakk, he probably didn’t know about the Shanes maybe only a few memories from his past life. He probably thought that he was only allowed to stay with one slinger and never had the choice to leave. I mean we see Blakk abusing Burpy by smashing him into the blaster. It would explain why Burpy seemed so mesmerized by Will giving him a choice to pick the slinger he wanted to stay with and why Will gave Burpy that chance. Burpy knew there was a connection to Will that’s why he went to him

Obviously we will never know the real reason why Blakk had Burpy but I thought I would express my opinion since I have seen so many theories that Blakk killed Jimmo and that’s how he got Burpy which never made sense to me.

But anyway I hope whoever reads this post enjoyed it. It was a lot of fun to make and if anyone else has any theories on how Blakk got Burpy I would love to hear them

[ariaterramoon]

I finally figured out the timeline for Xia Li and Hiro and alsjsksksksks

It's all coming together now AAAAA

I've started to get my brain going with timelines cuz I wanna extend the Slugterra canon timeline, and I've decided that the Eastern Caverns timeline doesn't change. It's still 20 years of the Emperor's Reign, but it's the events in the 99 Caverns that will be extended.

But rouvh timeline rn is that, at the end of Into the Shadows, Eli is 25 uwu

[mrros-e]

this is SUCH a good point. I've been meaning to skim through the show and make a proper timeline as to where every event happened in the span of the year, because its bananas. Maybe (probably) Eli is just as fustrated as we are that he hasn't actively been searching but hey, he fought blakk then found Junjie then had to learn slug fu then had to help defeat the emperor and aid the east and then RIGHT when they may have time they find Tad the Traumatized Child and they had to spend time helping him and finding him...and part of the reason why I wanna make the timeline is actually for the will happy birthday son scene. I wanna know how long after tad's fall that happened, because if it was a day it makes it more emotional for eli to know he's got family even after the betrayal, and if it was a while it means they HAVE lied low, probably scarred by the new kid they spent at least weeks helping out leaving them.

I just really want a canon moment where eli's like: "you know what? I'm calling up my allies, you deal w the small stuff. I'm taking a trip to the shadow clan and learning stuff." Or, like, commits his free time to it, making small trips around slugterra ("I'll visit that hideout under the falls this weekend", "maybe I can look thru the rubble in molemound for a few days", that type of thing). We're at a point in the narrative where he would do that, and BECAUSE of his search shit and plot happens, not the other way around. It would be a good way to progress this story, just like how the eastern cavern twist provided another slug-filled culture in the east and gave the Gang a new perspective on how energy and tech and legacy and heroism functioned.

Because I'll never forget how, when the emperor showed up, Junjie had fellow fighters, and even shadow clan. Meanwhile, he shanes have been blasted into slugterra hell, AND fought blakk...basically by their own, at least for the major battles. Their openess to tad, to me, is in part because they saw that in the east and went "oh, maybe allies, even if theyre not in the gang particularly, as actually pretty useful".

Long rant aside, that what I wished for eli and the gang; make allies, stabilize the region and have helpers, then take the extra time in the schedule to breathe, get therapy, and learn the will shane lore. Cause yeah, if the shane gang are the main emergency force in this world and them alone, they're never gonna have time to save will! Duh!

another addition to the will Shane discussion

...I'm gonna be SO clear about this: this is NOT the fault of Eli, obviously. He's a kid and trying his best.

but, when Eli got to Slugterra, he COULD have made it his life's mission to find out what happened to his dad, or find all the secrets that supposedly died with him. He didn't. He took up being the Shane and left the past buried unless it smacked him in the face in some current situation. He never once looked for what his dad left him, didn't even go looking for Will's remaining allies. They all just found him, and he only went searching when he needed to - Redhook, the elementals, etc...

it could also be that Will left some things, as much as he could (tho he still should've told him stuff about his enemies), but Eli wasn't interested in unearthing it. He wanted to move on, make a path for himself and not focus on what happened. That could also influence why he never even looks for his dad - he wants to, but he's been in a "look to the future" mindset for so long it hurts to look back and realize all he's missed out on in being a Shane.

personally, I think he did take the right route. That would have driven him insane, and he knew that. There's something really refreshing about such a possibly vengeful character strictly choosing to be a force for good and stick to current bad guys instead. Just...remember. We got no will/Slugterra answers partially because Eli never truly looked for them. I think he was going to...but in the future, when the current fires are put out. Or after therapy, whichever came first.

[drabbles-of-writing]

Okay, as someone who started Hollow Knight and never finished it (I’m really bad at finishing games. Took me not playing it for 6 months before finally doing the last little bit of Fire Emblem: Three Houses), I am FASCINATED by this Hollow Knight AU, kid. This is exactly the kind of weird and esoteric that I can’t wait to see what you do with it.

So, please explain how magic works in this AU, cause that’s the part that I desperately want to know. That and details on how Luz ended up in the Boiling Isles this time if there’s any major differences.

Stated earlier, magic is more like soul. You sort of just channel ya soul n twist it into magic. Which is how it can go awry and royally fuck you over. Which also means that people like Eda w stronger souls are Very sought after bc of their magic n soul. Emperor Belos heard of a human knight AND shes traveling w Eda? Win win

And, as much as I hate this comparison, Luz ended up there like Undertale. She sorta just found a weak spot when Eda was dicking around and when she landed in the underground Boiling Isles her escape got covered up. So also kinda like Slugterra. 3 people will get that reference

Just curious to see whose the top fave from our roster of big villains

[leeimperatriz]

Junjie, el Protector Quebrado/ Junjie, the Broken Protector

¿Alguien se ha dado cuenta de que Junjie es uno de los personajes más cruelmente tratados en toda la serie de Bajoterra?

.

Has someone noticed that Junjie is one of the most cruelly treated characters in the whole Slugterra's show?

El pobrecillo perdió toda su infancia concentrándose en prepararse para convertirse en el Protector de un grupo de Cavernas tan grande como TODA ASIA.

Ha tenido demasiada presión desde niño, NUNCA JUGÓ A NADA, y en él recaía toda el peso de las defensas de las Cavernas del Este.

.

The poor thing lost his hole childhood preparing himself to become the Protector of a group of Caverns as big as the WHOLE Asia.

He had a lot of pressure since he was a kid, NEVER PLAYED AS A KID, and he had all the weight of the Eastern Caverns's defenses on his shoulders.

Era uno de los guerreros más fuertes de las Cavernas del Este, era muy amado y todo.

Pero luego...

.

He was one of the strongest warriors in the Eastern Caverns, he was loved and all.

But then...

Este bastardo vino a la escena.

Junjie fue literalmente controlado por 20 años, destruyó su hogar en contra de su voluntad, la banda de Shane tuvo que pelear contra Goon Doc para liberarlo.

Ya libre, en lo primero que este muchacho pensó fue en regresar a sus Cavernas para ver que sucedía allá.

Adivinen que sorpresita le estaba esperando.

.

This bastard came to scene

Junjie was literally controlled for 20 years, he destroyed his home against his will, and the Shane Gang had to fight Goon Doc to free him.

Free, the first thing that came to his mind was going back to the Eastern Caverns and see what was going on.

Guess what surprise was waiting for him.

Absolutamente todo el mundo lo detestaba, nadie sospechó que algo podía andar mal, sus Cavernas estaban en la mierda, y el Emperador que tanto le había hecho sufrir reinaba en su hogar con puño de hierro. Joda, ni siquiera el Clan Sombra tuvo esperanza en él y se largaron.

Aún cuando hizo todo lo posible por arreglar la situación, todo el mundo seguía tratandolo como una escoria.

¿Entienden lo que le estaba pasando?

Si la banda de Shane se hubiera quedado en BajoTerra, Junjie habría estado totalmente solo.

Ahora imaginen si Junjie hubiera retornado solo, imagínense los malos tratos que hubiera recibido, imaginen el desprecio que obtendría, imagínense a todos los enemigos que querrían su cabeza, imaginense tanta presión, tanto odio, concentrado en una persona que está completamente sola, y que siente todo el peso de esa situación.

.

Absolutely everybody despited him, nobody suspected something could be wrong, his Caverns were fucked up, and the Emperor that made him suffer so much was ruling his home with iron fist. Hell, even the Shadow Clan lost hope on him and ran off.

Even when he did everything he could to fix the situation, everybody was still treating him like a scum.

You get what was happening to him?

If the Shane Gang have stayed in Slugterra, Junjie would have been completely alone.

Now imagine it, if Junjie had returned on his own, imagine all the bad treatment he would have received, imagine all the despise he would have, imagine all the enemies that would want his head, imagine so much pressure, so much hate, all concentrated in one single person, that feel all the weight of the situation.

Junjie estuvo a un pelo de convertirse en un villano, creció con una presión enorme, en la situación hipotética de haber estado en las Cavernas del Este solo, y de alguna manera derrotar al Emperador, habiendo sido expuesto a todo ese daño físico y psicológico, Junjie se pudo haber convertido en un villano mucho PEOR que el Emperador.

Porque esta vez no sería alguien con ansias de gobernar.

Esta vez, es un alma rota y atormentada, que ha sido abusada desde un principio, que ahora quiere que las Cavernas del Este sienta su dolor.

Y sin el Emperador, sin Lian, sin el Clan Sombra, sin nadie que pueda hacerle frente en las Cavernas del Este...

Buena suerte para detenerlo.

.

Junjie was so close to become a villian, he growed up with a huge pressure, in the hypothetical situation of being in the Eastern Caverns on his own, and somehow managing to defeat the Emperor, being exposed to all the physical and psychological damage, Junjie could have turned into a villian way WORSE than the Emperor.

Because this time was not someone with a wish to domain.

This time, is a broken and tormented soul, that have been abused from the very beginning, that now wants the Eastern Caverns to feel his pain.

And without the Emperor, without Lian, without the Shadow Clan, without someone who can stand against him...

Good luck to stop him.

[firephoenix23]

Episode 16: From the Deep

And so the episode we’ve all been waiting for, Dr. Blakk is officially back! And there’s I feel like a lot to unpack here with him so I thought I would just cut to the chase and try to like understand the timeline.

So I’m gonna try to break down what Dr. Blakk says. He says that he has to pay a heavy price to get through to the barrier that blocked the deep caverns to slugterra which is giving up his darkbane powers which makes sense. The darkbane couldn’t get through the barrier which is why Blakk made his but one thing I don’t understand is I thought that no one could get through the barrier. The only way to get through was to break up the guardian slugs which happened in the episode What lies beneath.

But anyway he said that he spent ages in the dark until he the landslide from the first episode opened an entrance for him to escape. Then he says that he saw Eli and Trixie had a new slug that he was going to put in his new ghouling facility which don’t know how that’s possible but I’m just gonna let what he says slide 😅

All I’m getting from all of this is that there must be another barrier that’s unguarded and broken somewhere for Blakk and the high plains monster to escape. Also I feel like this is asking more questions than answers. Like how long was Dr. Blakk behind the wall? And when did he try to escape back it seems to me that he tried to go back to Slugterra around the time of the slug fu movie. He doesn’t mention Tad or the emperor (who I assume is down in the deep caverns as well unless there is a eastern cavern’s deep caverns) so that’s when I assume he gave up his powers. So my man was sitting behind a wall for the entire Eastern cavern season. Like he didn’t even try to escape 😅

I’m kinda disappointed in this discovery because I thought the whole point of Tad going to the deep caverns in Into the shadows was to team up with his father but his dad apparently wasn’t even there 😂

So anyway they get into a duel and Blakk somehow magically has ghouls. Maybe he stocked up before he left though I don’t think there were any slugs in the deep caverns. But Blakk really wants Uni and honestly from the way that it was implied in the synopsis, it sounded like he was hunting for it and Locke and Lode were working for him but they looked just as shocked as Eli and Trixie when he appeared. But in the end Blakk gets Uni and we have that characteristic angry face that Eli makes whenever he saw Blakk in the old show and the short is over

Well anyway who knows what the plan is with this new ascension series. I assume by the end of this they are gonna like push Dr. Blakk right back to the Deep caverns or something like that and of course rescue Uni. But then it’s like what now 😅 We went through all those “Remember whens” for what. I would love for the show to come back full time just to end it. Even if the ending is horrible I won’t care just give Slugterra the ending it deserves.

[ariaterramoon]

IKR???

And Eastern Caverns could've had so much more deep lore if they had extended the time Eli spent there. Imagine Eli training under Junjie for months, Eli sharing some of his knowledge of slugs with Junjie and Junjie sharing his, both of them struggling to understand the state the Eastern Caverms were under the Emperor's reign and finding out just how difficult it would be to defeat him etc etc.

And about different Realms in Slugterra...

In my own fanon lore, I have 5 different Cavern Realms, one for each of the cardinal points:

Northern Realm - Unknown

Southern Realm - Unknown

Eastern Realm - Eastern Caverns

Western Realm - The 99 Caverns

Central Realm - Unknown

And of course, with Surface and the Deep Caverns that count goes up to 7 Realms.

I know Trixie said Bullseye Cavern is the middle of all Slugterra, but I headcanon that every single Realm have their center and own Lightwell, all connecting to the true centre of all of Slugterra, residing in the Central Caverns.

Also, for me, the 99 Caverns is the Western Realm because of all the western cowboy vibes and cuz I headcanon Eli is Canadian from Ontario.

I don't think the Deep Caverns would have their own Infurnus as the Dark Bane don't use slugs and have their own powers, so having an Infurnus is unnecessary. (Tho it would be super cool ngl)

the eastern caverns r so important to me in terms of worldbuilding n shit. i LOVE hearing about other caverns. with the knowledge that there’s only one infurnus for each cavern and that desigates the protector just makes me think. bc the deep caverns are a cavern too right? do they have a darkfurnus slinger? how different are all the infurnus’s across the caverns? i wanna know these stupid details So Badly
