I really want to have someone in my area be a friend or a boyfriend to me. The interest isn’t the safest place ofc but I’m so fucking lonely dude, this isn’t fair.
I just want to hug and cuddle someone.
this actually opens up quite a world of potential. C.C., in the trade, really makes it seem like he was chill being a good duelist but then saw the writing on the wall and wanted to be on the winning side of things (not unlike twist???). But maybe, after trying to be super chill w his coworkers but also seeing some of the inner workings he's like "wait....maybe I can be famous and have fun some other way, I don't think this world they're building would let me be that prominent a figure" he changes sides. I don't see him living w the gang, or even changing sides that long before s2's finale, but as a rich guy going w the flow, having a tiny little, lukewarm change of heart? He could absolutely end up on the good side, and once he's there in a shallow way could realize "oh these kids got a heart and soul, it's kinda nice actually", and start having a bit of a backbone!
Also I'm so real, I could see Mario and C.C. having a friendly duel rivalry? Mario, charismatic and a marksman to the bone. C.C., rich and also in the public eye, who may fare better with team shooting matches. For all we know, maybe they DID have a rivalry pre-Mario's pizza era. fuck it, will x Blakk is mainstream and CC x Mario enemies to lovers is the true rare pair -
Going back to Eli giving people a second chance( like twist and tad) I want C.C to also be redeemed. Why because 1. He is a really good slinger and 2. He would give the Shane gang info on old buildings that Blakk used for ghouling slugs.
And if he were to be in the Shane gang how would that play out?
Oh my gosh-
I think everyone(minus Eli) would be, suspicious.
If C.C. decided, "Oh yeah, hey, you know what, Blakk is actually insane, I need an out like NOW" and the joined the Shane Gang, I think the distrust will play out differently depending on when he joins up with them.
If C.C. joins Pre The New Kid, Kord, Trixie and Pronto are going to be sus of him. Because you know what, C.C. literally did side with Blakk for the paycheck, and the power, so him suddenly switching sides is, you know, suspicious. Eli obviously, isn't all that suspicious of C.C. and genuinely thinks the older Slinger is trying to be a better person.
If he joins post The New Kid, no one, is having it, especially if the switch happens post Lightwell.
They got betrayed, so badly, that it's hard for the Gang to trust someone they don't already know, and are positive won't work for Blakk willingly.
Eli is hesitant it trust C.C. after everything without Twist, and after what happens to Burpy. But if he can see C.C. being sincere, and actually want to fix things, he'll entertain C.C. joining them on missions, but not living in the Hideout, till everyone is on the same page.
And when they do finally trust C.C. it's honestly nice having a former pro circuit Duelist on the team.
(Add another brother to the list for Eli, lmao)
C.C. is also apparently a Nepo baby, as in, he's rich, so, excuse to see his rich family, and him casually just, pay for things like the Gang isn't living reward payout to reward payout.
And yeah, before leaving Blakk Industries, the guy is getting his hands on anything and everything of use he can, from Blaster and Mecha mods, to every piece of data he can download to help expose and bring Blakk down.
I made an intro to slugterra thingy cause most youtube videos ive seen about slugterra are either ai slop or well-meaning cartoon channels that have done a sane and respectable amount of research but dont have every slugterra fact tatooed into their bloodstream like I do...so boom, a real life human with a voice talking about slugterra.
i have no proper camera but otherwise ive always really vibed w video essay stuff...doesnt mean im good at it, but if i do it more ill probs get better at it! not just about slugterra either, i have hot takes about aspec representation and i accidentally stumbled into the lord of the rings fandom recently, so...hopefully, whatever happens, the rest of my artistic output is only better than this vid and not worse :)
