Random Question
Do you think Jimmo Shane was as connected &/or cared for Slug's as much as Eli Shane dose?
Yes
No
Depends
I only ask since I'm writing Jimmo in a short fic currently, and it JUST popped into my head to question the kind of view he would have of the Slugs when he was in Slugterra
Take this as more HC fodder in the long run ig
feel free to debate(just keep it respectful)
Guys like Blakk and Shane like to lay down the law when they first arrive into town. You know how it is.

So, how was Will going back to the surface before Burpy? He got the infurnus after he took the place of Jimmo Shane and Burpy left Blakk. If Will lived in the burning world before he came down: was he in the same position of Eli that he did not had a way back until years later? And what about Jimmo?
The easy solution is that they used to use Hoverbugs. But where is the fun in that? It sounds too easy.
I've seen proposals that some portals, like the one to the eastern caverns, can take anyone to the surface as well.
SlugTerra Au Explanation! (Kinda told in a story way-) (EDIT AT AUGUST 9TH, 2025, NONE OF THIS IS CANON/ALTERED)
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-)
will shanes connection with the shadow clan is so interesting to me bc jimmo shane presumably didn't have that connection. did he ever ask will, his darling nephew, "hey why do you go into shadow clan territory you know that its dangerous right" and will had to lie out of his ass
