Hottest slugterra character tournament: Loser brackets!!!
These characters lost the first round of the hottest character tournament but they’re not equally bad; so, to rank them, I will be holding a series of polls to determine least to most hot characters!
This also means you get a second chance to vote for your favourite and hopefully they don’t completely whiff it!
Who up slugging they net
Do you think Junjie forgets that he’s in the eastern caverns. Like he didn’t spend a lot of time in the 99 but he got so used to sleepy around other people, and being with the same friends for months that being alone in the eastern caverns feels uncanny. Like he should have four other people around him. He has Lian and Hamengku but they have their responsibilities.
He’s missing his family
(Which I feel would fuel him to train the new guardians as quickly as possible while ensuring that they will never be defeated. While also bargaining with the Shadow clan to allow a pathway between the 99 and the East)
Honestly, Junjie searching for a way to visit the 99 caverns just because he’s reeling from loneliness is so fascinating and such a juicy change of character. Like a whole plot point in the beginning of his arc was being too independent, so developing too far in the other direction, becoming too attached to the gang, is such a fascinating take
I am one (1) american away from switching away from posting in english. Finnish only or perhaps also the worst french you've ever seen.
*Touches you with my tendrils, tentacles, and mucosal digits*
Does anyone know what the fuck I’m talking about?
I don't like Junjeli as a ship but if I'm being honest the people who ship it are pretty chill most of the time.
Twisteli fans on the other hand are somehow the most obnoxious people ever, the majority of the ones I have seen on here are either annoying twats or really need a reminder that these characters are teens.
if you are a twisteli fan and the above criteria does not apply, this confession is not about you.
~~~
First it was: “don’t ship juneli because one is age ambiguous”
Then it’s: “eww I dug around the tags and found Mario x Eli”
Now its: “even though they’re both the same age confirmed it’s still gross because even though irl teens their age do weirder stuff, you’re still weird bc I said so”
Can yall just admit you hate ships, atp it just looks like that’s the only consistent factor here

As someone who has actually studied Caribbean vodou (more widely known as voodoo), I can confidently say that while Mr. Saturday IS a stereotype, he is actually not as harmful a stereotype as one would think.
Caribbean vodou is a religion (yes, it is a religion split into hundreds of sects) born and evolved predominantly from the West African vodun religions, brought over by both enslaved and free African peoples, which then evolved over time in the Caribbean as vodou.
I'll spare you the really deep, deep details here, so here's the super basic idea. Vodun (and by association vodou, and even 'voodoo' which is a flashy split sect predominantly propagated and performed by the black Caribbean community for I shit you not shits and giggles in coastal Louisiana and Mississippi) is all about balance. They are of the belief that the universe is balanced out: for every mortal creature, there is a spirit; for everything that lives, there is death; for everything that is light, there is dark. Balance controls much of their religious beliefs in how the universe works and an upset in that balance causes weird stuff to happen. They also strongly believe in the mortal will, because mortal will can also cause the supreme balance of things to fluctuate for good or bad.
Mr. Saturday is not impossible in this religious belief. There are many stories of dark sorcerers in vodou, termed as bokou, who act pretty much like he does. They are seen as malevolent people who pretty much act selfishly for themselves. Mr. Saturday being a proclaimed chaotic neutral entity and forcing his will onto people to do what he wants pretty much says he is a bokou, which are typically seen as bad in their communities and exiled.
I could technically agree that the use of Legba/Samedi imagery can be considered bad, but the Loa/Iwa spirits are not inherently good OR bad themselves. So even that would fall flat; bokou and the priests (both hungan and manbo) can be connected to one or more Loa at any given time and draw of their influence when needed, with proper price to be paid.
Overall Mr. Saturday is indeed a stereotype, and knowing what I know of the vodou community itself, I think he is actually pretty alright. Stereotypes are not inherently bad, after all, it's just knowing what is actually good or bad about them. If we see more black people from the Southern Caverns who are also portrayed as 'evil bad voodoo people', I would call it a harmful stereotype. But even the one black guy (that I remember) from the Southern Caverns we see is also a non-hurtful stereotype.
I'll close this out with believing this has hopefully been more informative about the vodou-based religions of the Caribbean, to let people know Mr. Saturday is not hurtful, just a goofy goober who is actually characterized pretty well all things considered (his aesthetic design could use some work but it's a kid show, I can't ask for much). He probably has a priest or priestess out there that balances him out on a cosmic scale (think like Doctor Facilier and Mama Odie from Princess and the Frog, it's a lot like that).
Also, his accent is Creole-Haitian not Jamaican. Sweeping the smallest elephant in the room into the outgoing box as I say goodnight.
Oh wow I think this is the first time one of the confessions posted here (self or otherwise) received a response!
Anon basically covered everything (and I'm not really an expert on this stuff) so I don't have much to add but this was very enjoyable to read!
Thank you very much for this submission anon, this submission was very informative!
I also welcome others to submit responses to confessions made by myself or others via asks :D
Ok so like “'voodoo' which is a flashy split sect predominantly propagated and performed by the black Caribbean community for I shit you not shits and giggles in coastal Louisiana and Mississippi” is a massive red flag. Either anon is a mega vodou traditionalist/purist, or they genuinely don’t know about the origins of USAmerican vodou.
I’m not going to claim to be an expert myself, far from it, but a lot of African culture was sort of garbled in the slave trade, with many traditions being broken and lost. In the process, slave owners would also force Christianity onto their slaves to keep them in line. This is how American vodou came to be, with Christian elements being used to make up for lost and broken aspects of the previous faith. Claiming it was made up for “shits and giggles” feels ignorant at best man
Kids these days taking the easy route with their ghouls and whatnot. Back in my day you’d pull the classic slip-n-slide and take as many slugs as you could grab
Coming from the transformers fandom, where I’ve seen tireplay, altmode fucking, size diff, and age diff of like millions of years, the change in the slugterra fandom is jarring, and I don’t even ship any of these people. Like half of you sound like you’d just call me a fag if you saw me irl just cause I don’t pass and don’t really care to
I’m in the Iron Lung fandom and yeah the difference is CRAZY. I’ve got a whole collection of weird screenshots from the subreddit. People are constantly talking about how they wanna fuck the eel and I’ve seen some weird fucking tags on AO3. I mean a good bit of it is a joke but someone in the Slugterra fandom makes a joke about the goon being hot people get super pissed meanwhile the Iron Lung fandom is talking about how bad they wanna fuck an eel made out of dead bodies
Here’s some of my personal favorites
Honestly good for them, embrace the freak 💪💥💥💪💥💥💪💪💪
I love wikihow so much
