I will never know peace.
my pet peeve is I think everyone is using "filler" inaccurately.
So, if yall pay attention (not that I expect anyone to)
I like to do a whimsy tag:
I want to explain it a bit because asks are still disabled and i don't have enough spoons to turn it back on.
The whole point of being a writer/part of fandom in general is COMMUNITY.
Like we're all part of a larger community and that means showing up for people even if its not your thing, even if its not your ship/fandom but someone you follow/are friends with made with care and love.
Share their art, share their fics, share their shit.
If we want to see the change in the community we got to start somewhere.
There are variations to this that I do use:
Its whimsy.
Add your own to posts but please just start sharing others works. Because the only way we keep community alive is start participating in it again.
Fuck feel free to use and adapt mine idc, I just started doing it to start helping my friends works because as an artist it's disheartening to see so many quit because the lack of engagement.
You're on the engagement website start doing your part.

Junjie: Wait, does that mean I’m married to Eli?
Eli: Yeah.
Trixie: Sisterhusbands!
Junjie: Sisterwives.
Eli: Okay, I can get down with that.
im being so real:
i think pronto abandoned the mole king business because his brother was supposed to be king and he was free to do anything he wanted but then his brother died (why will shane knew "pinto" and not "pronto" - duh, pinto had to be important to mole society) and he had to take the crown...but from mourning and hating the job he ran away.
Speaking of moleniod is it weird we still haven’t seen pronto twin brother like at all? Like he was mentioned but that was about it, no photo or flashbacks, nothing of the source.
I feel like if the show had kept on going we would have seen something right?
I think so?
Personally, I think it's funny when characters drop info like having a twin, and it's never explained further or played out like a massive gag, lol
My personal crack theory is that Sedo is actually Prontos twin, but Pronto refuses to call him his brother in public and that Sedo isn't even Sedo's real name, its like, Armando or some shit but he changed it for whatever reason.
Pronto acknowledges and tells people he has a twin brother but never says it's Sedo. Sibling rivalries, am I right?
Is all seriousness had the show continued they could have shoe horned Prontos Twin as a one-time character and never bring him up again.
It would be chaos for the Gang because 'Dear Shadows- there's now two of them'
All in all, the creators had a setup for a plethora of fun stuff they could have done, like the Twin being evil, or chill, or hell a better tracker than Pronto causing some jealousy and leading to a fun little lesson about being good enough as is or something along those lines.

I'm rewatching slug fu showdown.
and I realized - the flute part pronto plays during master shanai's funeral? It's actually played twice in the show.
the second time? THE FIRST SCENE OF JUN TEACHING ELI.
BRIAN CARSON I LOVE YOU IM CRYING THATS BEAUTIFUL.
It transforms from a sound of loss; for life, and for Eli's education and knowledge of the world...into wonder and hope, because he's found a new teacher, and a new friend. That's BEAUTIFUL.
someone add flames behind dan
a distant shore is such a good episode GOD
and actually, does this help explain Pronto's weird actions in slugfu showdown? Maybe the Shane gangs gotten used to just BLASTING their actual activities/unnecessary noise on the slugnet to cover for any burning world catastrophes that, when they got the elementals, pronto was like "why should we keep this a secret??? it'll confuse people, maybe they'll start to think the shane secrets were about the elementals??? I was throwing them off!" And like, still not the smartest, but a better explanation!!!
Do you think after the events of a distant shore that the Shane gang developed a shared excuse for what the Shane secret is? Like in case they ever get put in another Gar situation, they all have a shared lie that the bad guy ™️ can cross reference separately between them and get the same story
E.g . They’ve all decided that the fake Shane secret is that there’s a secret 100’th cavern and the only way to get there is with a shadowclan escort (explains why will had that shadowclan stuff and where the Shanes disappear to)
Considering how Eli was acting and the fact Gar more then likely spilled the Journal belonged to Jimmo Shane, yeah, they probably came up with a fake Shane Secret to cover for the real one as a just in case measure.
Granted the majority of Gar's highered help turned on him the moment Eli destroyed the Journal, it doesn't erase the fact a Shane went out of their way to stop whatever Gar was doing, steal something of value and then burn it to ash to prevent others from reading it.
Let alone the fact that something of value being the Journal of a former Shane, and possibly containing the answers to anything about Slugterra or the Shane family.
No doubt Gar posted, and is still posting what he knows on the SlugNet, and other Burning World truthers as well. And this isn't covering the potential in universe crack theory that spawned from Elis actions in A Distant Shore that the Shane's have a connection to the Burning World because why else would a Shane risk everything like that if it wasn't important?
The gang going out of their way to cover it up further and make fake leads is a real possibility.
They would want to create as much doubt and spread as much false information they can in the aftermath of something like that. Maybe even make a few fake accounts and post nonsense on speculation sights to throw ppl off.
