Dr Blakk - Tumblr Posts
I HAD MOTIVATION AND IM DOING IT- IM POSTING A SLUGTERRA AU-
I know this fandom is kinda…Dead but I Can’t help it, it’s my childhood✨- I doubt this is gonna get much attention but eh- I wanted to
Have fun with it!🗣- The au is bassicly Where Dr Blakk isn’t A villain or a bad guy here, more so a grumpy scientist man-
Basically if Will Shane befriended Thaddius when they were rival’s and sort of lived with him!-
And of course will shane still disappears but from a different villian, and dr Blakk just dealing with Eli Shane liked a second dad💀-
Okay! So I found some more motivation to post More of the au Here!- I’m glad it’s getting liked! So I drew thaddius/Dr.Blakk Once again with will Shane! Though in their more younger days! Mostly where they become friends! Thaddius is a little bit quiet and Not sure what to do, since he’s never really trusted or Became friends with anyone, While Will just seems happy To be his friend! In this Au, Will manages to befriend him, this manages to make Thaddius a bit, Caring in a way! Later, Not exactly sure when but I’m gonna post The explanation of the Au! Then I’ll go back to focusing on making content of these two!
Sorry if the hands look weird! (Not good with drawings hands!)
By the way, @ariaterramoon I’m really happy you liked the previous post of this Au!😭✨
I really love your slugterra art! Your art really inspires me! 😊👍🏻
AHH OKAY FINALLY- finished this,
AHH OKAY! FINALLY FINISHED THIS-
This is Slightly rushed as I just wanted to get this over with to work on another thing! I’m not very good with hands and some poses so don’t mind that😭…
Anyway! Here’s some artwork of the Slugterra au! Still trying to think of a name for this Slugterra au-
So just some small info here! Just Dr.Blakk/Thaddius having a nightmare! Slightly about his past, he had fallen asleep on Will’s bed in the shane hideout, after Will encouraged him to rest for a bit from training while he went to go get some food, thaddius just tried to sit, but he can’t help but nap, then he has a slight nightmare/memory of his past, and well instead of Being alone, he has someone there with him, Will shane, who wakes him up, very concerned and worried, which thaddius quickly goes to him for comfort, thaddius is still getting used to someone caring for him, so he immediately latches onto Will for comfort, which will is happy to provide for him!
Don’t mind the confusing backgrounds, I suck at them as well😰- so just uh imagine Will’s room in the back😅-
Small Fun Fact about the Au!: thaddius is a little protective of Will, Scared since Will is the only person who cares about him, (and he cares about too) scared an incident like what happened when he was a child will happen once again, he stays close to Will- like a leech😭-
Also! @ariaterramoon Im actually really happy that your enjoying this au!
I'm glad you're finding the Au wholesome! I just felt like Dr.Blakk like..derserve a better opportunity and like you know had someone who cared about him- I’m sorry If I keep tagging you repeatedly😅! I’ve seen your recent Slugterra posts of Sarai and man your art is Beautiful!
Also… if you make art of my au-I’m gonna cry tears of joy-🥹 like IF YOU DO END UP DOING IT I just know it’s gonna look awesome!
✨
ANOTHER SLUGTERRA AU EXPLANTION- SMALL LORE DUMPING POST-🗣 ok (kinda fanfic? Idk-)
So I got motivation to post more about the au and what happens differently than cannon, so here’s what happened to Will shane, since he still disappears, but from a different villain! I finally came up with a name- and now gonna explain what sort of happens to Will!
(Redemption Au)
…
Present:
Just like the show, Will patrol’s the caverns, Burpy seemed to be upset, due to Dr.Blakk, they don’t got along still, will just laughs it off, and jokes around but also goes to Blakk’s defense.
“Settle down Burpy, I know he's a bit…uh Harsh at times, but believe me, he's great”
Burpy didn't seem to lighten up but he just settled on will’s shoulder, suddenly a noise was heard in the distance, so Will immediately looks down to burpy, burpy gave him a look back, also suspicious, Will pulled off his blaster, and his eyes immediately averted to the direction, He hesitates, but manages to walk over, making sure to keep his guard on high alert, burpy was high alert too, unaware of the danger that awaited him.
He looks all over, he finds nothing, perhaps it was his imagination? He looks at Burpy who shrugs, Then he hears a sudden noise, the sound of a blaster, then something is coming his direction, burpy squeaked, a slinger was behind him. Shooting at him before immediately hiding before getting caught.
He moved just in time before he got hit, he had noticed it was a rammstone for a quick second, he didn't hesitate in immediately loading his blaster, and aiming in the direction.
Grabbing a Hop-rock, but his eyes widened, when he saw nothing, which confused him.
His head darted in the direction, what was going on?
Just then he felt a harsh impact on his back, he fell to the floor, Black clouded his vision for a moment, his head turned around, just in time he saw someone? He wasn’t sure what to do, since he couldn’t see the slinger, so he grabbing a slug, before getting it ready to blast it at whoever the person was, he was slightly falling unconscious, he grabbed his blaster tight, he could hear burping panicking.
“Why am I already losing?”
“No I can’t…”
But unfortunately, he ended up critically injured, and thrown into a black hole made by a slug the slinger made, into the unknown, just like in cannon,…as he sends Burpy off to find Eli, and dr. Blakk…before disappearing.
“find Thaddius!…give him the letter!…go!”
. . .
Black couldn’t believe it, where was he? He couldn’t find will Shane anywhere, dr.Blakk immediately gets worried but assumes will is in a far away mission, that is until Burpy shows up, this alerts Blakk, as will always had burpy with him, he assumes that will is injured, but then burpy starts leading him somewhere, into the shane hideout.
He felt more panicked by the second, searching, he looks, and finds the letter will left him behind, his eyes widened, Will had fallen?..what had happened? (The letter is the same one that Will tells burpy to give to Eli, expect it’s written a little different obviously)
“Is he dead?…no..he can’t be. Dammit!”
Blakk didn’t like this, he didn’t like this feeling as it began reminding him of the same panic, hesitation when he was a child, Will’s disappearance causes him to go a bit depressed, as Will was the only person he had left in his life that he cared about, so his mood drops instantly, he’s still nice just a bit more gloomy.
By the end of it, Blakk crumbles the paper, frustrated and for the first time in a while, he cries a little..but deep down his pride and toughness forbids him from letting the emotions out.
Just like the paper asked, Blakk heads over to the spot, where the drop is, and shoots Burpy just like requested.
Where Burpy goes off to Eli to alert him too with the letter.
While An angry Black heads back home.
. . .
After Eli turns 15 and heads down to slugterra:
Eli was aware Dr.Blakk could be a little angry at times, and he understood, by the way his father described Dr.blakk, it seemed they really cared about each other, and he knew his father worried for Dr.Blakk, especially about his past.
Dr.Blakk began their training after his arrival in slugterra, Where Dr.Blakk gave him a head start on things, gave him information he would need, and trained him with slug slinging.
The tournament didn’t start until a few days later, so he meets Trixie, kord and pronto after staying in slugterra for a few days, it goes the exact same way, expect the ghoul slug incident, instead Eli wins the tournament, with a sort of proud Blakk standing by and watching.
While Eli forms his Shane gang, dr.Blakk trains him as well, making him more prepared and ready. (Mentioned this before.)
Eli was way better with handling slugs than dr.Blakk..
Dr.Blakk looked at him sometimes, he looked away, giving a small smirk.
“Just like your father…”
. . .
Dr.Blakk was stressing…frustrated as he did his experiments,the Shang gang could notice, they were worried, especially Eli…he visited Blakk once…he could see that dr.Blakk was frustrated…he entered into the office where dr.Blakk did his studies. (Blakk’s citadel is bassicly a 2nd home, with him also sort of living in the shane hideout, but with will gone he stays in the citadel more- and the citadel does not look like how it did In the show, it looks less..in a way intimating, just looks like a normal factory, and is built in a more natural environment, not too far from the shane hideout.)
Eli looks over Blakk’s shoulder, seeing some papers and such of some studies, experiments and such…Eli sighed, he didn’t know what to say, since he was grieving too.
“…Hey…We'll find my father….I promise..”
Eli said…worried…Blakk looked over…he sighed..he wanted to believe Eli’s words…he just..didn’t know anymore…and he especially wanted to find whoever made Will fall…or whoever took him away, just so he could get Will justice for what had happened.
😭- (okay that’s it! Next lore dump will probably be a young thaddius and will again! Just a nice scene between them!
Then I’ll go back to posting some art of the au!- 💪 (I’m trying to keep motivation-)
Mornings in the shane hideout for thaddius!…Always giving glares at Jimmo-
Took a break from posting a little bit, So here’s a quick drawing of Thaddius and jimmo, giving eachother glares/or unpleasant faces..With the doodles just showing what thaddius and will do after training- and will just teaching thaddius how to play a game!
(Thaddius is hard to keep drawing consistently I swear he looks different each time I draw him..😭- slugterra characters are just sort of hard for me to draw for some reason..💀)
So yeah! Don’t have much to say this time,Here’s the post for the slugterra redemption au!- planning for next drawing to be with Eli and thaddius!✨
AHH OKAY I’m back! I’ve gotten motivation once more!
With some more lore to give out! Not very happy lore though😅
I wanted a small break, not to mention I kinda forgot about posting for a while! But I’m back (: very happy people are liking my stuff! 😭Took me a while but here’s another artwork of the “redemption au!”
So explaining time!
Unfortunately Shanai still ends up dying just like in the show, but more on later..!Since dr.Blakk isn't ghouling slugs, and twist isn’t his goon or apprentice, Eli gets selected! But it doesn't last long. 2 weeks, and she ends up giving up and dying. In my “Redemption” au, Shanai is sicker, and her illness ends up over taking her, leading her to pass away not so long after training Eli in his training. And Eli ends up being the one to find her dead.
Another fact for this Au, is that when Eli is a bit saddened, or wants to spend time with dr.Blakk cuz he’s feeling down, and doesn't want to bother his friends with it, dr.Blakk sometimes resorts in telling him Past stories of him and his father’s adventures or some things that have happened, like small fun incidents or stories of them, either growing up, or Before Will went missing, to cheer Eli up.
Dr.Blakk acts like he hates doing it sometimes, but he generally likes talking about the past. He doesn't really like doing it, because he will smile and then Eli will rub it in his face later “Hey! You smiled!(:”😭 like his father.
Blakk gets shy about his smiles.
(Also when dr.Blakk finds out about shanai’s passing, he kinda grieves, but he wasn’t really close with her, she was just a small mentor he had, so he doesn’t really react, but he does feel bad that she died,)
“You know Will…your the only person Who cares about me…”
“…”
“He fell asleep…hm…never mind..”
. . .
Okay! Another Artwork! This time with young thaddius and will Shane once again! This time their resting!
Okay! Got motivation to draw another artwork!
Though I am planning on doing another lore explanation soon! (Since I feel like I posted enough of Young thaddius and Young Will shane)
For now, just taking Thaddius and Will sleeping!
Well mostly will-
After staying in the shane hideout for a while, usually thaddius and Will make small talk before they go to sleep, but will fall asleep earlier than expected And Thaddius Just decides to save the small talk for another time…not wanting to feel alone, he hugs will, before going to sleep himself!
(My au) Fun fact: Thaddius Likes to cuddle sometimes when they go to sleep, and Will is fine with that, he usually just falls asleep before thaddius cuddles him. (mentioned this before) Thaddius of course isn’t used to having friends, or close ones..so this makes Thaddius paranoid or skeptical at times, scared something bad will happen, to Will shane, or to them both. And this causes him to have trouble sleeping, which is why he cuddles Will, to help himself sleep,and as if he’s protecting Will too, by hugging him and Will doesn't mind.
“Finally found him…”
AHH okay! More lore time! And Here’s the lore part where Will is actually found!:D though he is in a kinda rough shape, also I’m not good at drawing beards so uh…imagine he has one on😄-
Explaining time!:
So will is found Not too long after Ghoul from beyond, And it was in different circumstances, since he wasn’t controlled by the goon, He did manage to escape the Dark caverns a bit early, but was Captured by a different villain- (who I will introduce soon👀-) but yeah, and he Was able to escape once again, But he was slightly more injured, and un well, that he couldn’t roam far, so he Just laid down to catch his breath, Thankfully and by pure miracle, the Shang gang were nearby, and the slugs that saw Will were worried, so being the smart creatures they were, They Lead a confused shane gang over, where Eli is in shock, and almost didn’t recognize his dad and Once Will awakens, he is in shock too before they share a tearful embrace, and of course the Shang gang have a fan boy moment over Will shane.
Yeah and dr.Blakk had a tearful reunion with Will as well!🥲 With him just yelling out how much he was worried and thought they were never going to find him, and all, wills too tired to respond but he hugs dr.Blakk as well.
Will is able to recover more with the help of doc (the healer slug) and mostly returns to his old self! Will Shane takes care of everyone but himself though- 😭 and dr.Blakk is not having it-
Fun fact (My au) :Will’s arm is critically broken, and Doc can’t really heal it Well as it’s a bit more damaged, So Will can’t really slug sling anymore until his arm recovers fully, Will is mostly a retired shane in a way, but he helps his son with missions in anyway he can, Will has a bad habit of Forgetting not to move his arm too much, as He sometimes tries to show Eli more tips or tricks with slug slinging, but he tends to accidentally injure his arm more😭- And Eli is worried for his dad. Blakk’s worried about him too😭-
Eli doesn't really like it when Blakk gives big smiles-
YEAHHH- so I keep disappearing then dropping a random post every week or so- longer than that- but school has been really making me less motivated so apologies for that😭 I’ll try to post more consistently- until I finish the posts on this Au ig-
Soo take one of dr.Blakk’s attempt to smile normally-
With Will being semi-Proud and Eli being a bit weirded out when Blakk tries to smile with his teeth.
Some small fact in my au about Dr.Blakk’s smiles💀 he doesn’t really smile with his teeth out, he usually just gives small smiles, which Eli is always happy when he does, but dr.Blakk isn't known for smiling with a toothy grin, he actually dislikes it😭 so when he does it, it’s kinda strange- he needs to be in a very good mood to try- And young Thaddius never really smiled like that either, so when he did- (a little bit) Will was always proud of him- 😭 also Eli tries not to give it away that he doesn’t like his toothy grins-
Next post will be twist’s sort of re-design! And his family!
‘Where could you be?…where…” - Dr.Blakk
SO- I didn’t post due to some lack of motivation but I got it again- so take this small little artwork of Dr.Blakk of Will for the moment-
Here’s the post before I start drawing my Au with another au!✨ this artwork is moslty depressed dr.Blakk missing Will shane, since will shane was technically his support, and Will was his only family, now with him being gone, dr.Blakk’s mood went down unfortunately- which cuased him to grow a bit grumpy, thankfully Eli arriving was enough for him to feel better, but there is some nights where he’ll cry because he misses Will shane🥲 (this is of course before will is found-)
Once will is found, dr.Blakk mood starts lifting up a lot, and they moslty spend a lot of time together, moslty because they haven’t seen each other in years, and will is a bit scarred from his capture, so he stays around Dr.Blakk or Eli a lot.
Fun fact: before Will was found, when Dr.Blakk Misses will, he will usually either hold onto photos of their moments, or will sometimes look at his bandoleer/belt- (I think that’s what they called it in the show I forgot😭 too lazy to re-check) and will hold it, as if it brings him comfort, since it reminds him of Will in a way, since he was unsure if Will was dead or not 😭)
So..yeah🥲
“…a bittersweet moment…it’s nice to feel sometimes…but sometimes it hurts…” -Dr.Blakk
AHH SHDIHEI okay so I drew a small little drawing with @ariaterramoon Slugterra taken au! Expect Redemption!Au dr.Blakk meets taken!au Will…yeah it got a bit awkward at first- so of course in context, this is after taken au! Will slowly trusts redemption Au Blakk- enough for him to get near him- because taken!au Will had eli taken away from him from dr.Blakk’s men👀- also drew a small doodle of taken au Eli- love him💖
So I’m content, go see @ariaterramoon taken au, it’s actually very interesting if you haven’t already! I really love the au despite how depressing it sounds for me-😅 yeah, I just decided to post these small drawings of my universe with a different universe! In conclusion, I don’t think My Au Blakk would get along with any variation of him, even his cannon self😅 but anyways this was fun to draw!
Now I’m going to be focusing on The villain arachnis, and Will’s imprisonment Arc🥲-
Redemption slugterra Au official designs! Young will and Thaddius.
Sorry for the hold up once Again! Planning to draw something with demon slayer next! But I will keep doing my slugterra Au! So I’ve decided to come up with my own designs for these two, slightly, still the same, just with some extra details off the original since they are very different characters compared to the cannon! Well not too different but defiantly different mindsets and motivations for their story! (I also just wanted to give thaddius longer messy hair, even a small mullet because I feel like he would have one idk😭) I’m planning to make differences of my Au will and Blakk, and Eli, twist. (Maybe Eli and twist later) since thaddius and will have a lot more for their story changes.
I’m going to make a whole dive in to my Au will later in a post, his character, different backstory, motives, why he has his mindset, stuff he went through differently in this Au, stuff like that, then once finished with that, thaddius will be next, and I will show their adult official designs in those posts since I plan to change some things about their design and details for my Au! So this is a updated design for them! And Eli too a little bit.
So far now take these small info about My redemption Au!will and redemption Au! Blakk!(:
(Also redemption Au! Young thaddius’s hair is longer than will’s by the way-)
Young will Shane-
Clearly set on the Shane path, will does work hard but is held back by the stress and burden of being a Shane, sometimes the Shane legacy feels like a curse instead of a wonderful family line (will explain how the Shane family/Shane’s work in will’s Au story post) despite this, he keeps a happy face and has a bubbly personality, though he might be naive, he isn’t stupid, he only gets defensive and hostile when absolutely needed, and for thaddius, he didn’t think he needed because something was off about him, he felt like he needed to be there for thaddius, even if thaddius didn’t show it, it’s obvious will has a golden heart, and as well as being inspired and in awe by thaddius skill, while trying to figure out all this slug-slinging world, it isn’t any help that uncle jimmo isn’t as helpful now.
Young thaddius Blakk-
It’s confusing for anyone to know what thaddius wants, but it’s really simple if you see the way he acts, he wants to be left alone, and will isn’t any help with that, but that quickly changes for thaddius, will is the only exception, despite liking being alone and finds solitude comforting, wills presence is the only one he likes around once they become friends, going through his own troubles, he is very tough, more tougher than his cannon version, slightly, having the same level of slug-slinging, but surprisingly very good at physically combat hand to hand, tough fighter, but instead of wanting the same thing like his cannon version, being feared and the greatest slug-slinger, he wants to just be left alone, and to rot alone, since, what else does he have to live for? At least he has will Shane to make it less bearable for him.
Take that for now. (:
Redemption!Au Dr.Blakk! Lore/Character explanation
INTRODUCTION/DIFFERENCES
Dr.blakk’s character in redemption!au is more complicated in a way from his canon version, but it is very clear the two are different, while canon blakk is…a cold man…and wants power, control over Slugterra….All Redemption!Au blakk wants…is just peace…He has very many differences compared to his canon counterpart, even the people of the caverns have trouble understanding him…they don’t really know his goals…or motives really…all they know is no harm will come to them…and his reputation around Slugterra is…rather decent…and respectable.
But..he is a very tired man…Only criminals fear the man, others fear the man only for his short fuse..but even then…it is only a small fear many of the caverns have…they know that he is…a man with good intentions at heart.
They can’t help but feel anxious about the man. He is quiet for the most part, an intimidating presence, but others could describe him as being peaceful. Dr.blakk knows he confuses people, due to how he is like, on one hand he is calm and quiet, Even peaceful.Then he is vicious and can be brutal when battling, depending. He is short tempered way more easily than his Canon counterpart, and stronger physically.
Dr.blakk knows he’s an unstable individual… , he is a broken man deep down too, he knows it…and he hates it.
In redemption Au! He is far more physically stronger…any criminal is terrified to come across the man, scared for what will befall them if they do, many have lost count at the times he had made many slingers take a break due to almost critically injuring them….only the very arrogant ones that is…no one is brave enough to actually insult the man. Well..no regular citizen that is…he may appear as a tough and cold man..but he’s just soft in the inside…and very..nicer..and sweet in the way….which is why none of the people in Slugterra fear him when they see him out and about.
PAST/LORE
PAST/LORE
Blakk’s early childhood…was…complicated to say the least…he can’t even remember his early memory of his mother…was she caring?..nice…? Cold and uncaring like his father?
He didn’t even remember what she looked like. He wasn’t sure…it feels like his early memories are fading and he hates it…it feels like he had blacked out that past the moment his life was guided to the light, now he struggles to remember, and feels like each memory from his childhood is erased. He despises the feeling.Blakk grew up as an only child…having his father and mother..until his mother left him as a little child…His father having custody of him…blakk could only remember he was young and crying as she left…and blakk could remember him asking his father why his mother left.
He could still remember the cold glance his way. Being told his mother was too weak to carry such a burden of life and abandoned them.Blakk never knew what to feel after that.
His father wasn't…the best either, he does not remember his father ever getting physical with him, but his father had a short fuse too and he could remember the shouts of disappointment whenever he did something wrong, sometimes it hurt Thaddius, but then he felt numb, like it did not matter and nothing else mattered.
His childhood could've been better.
. . .
His childhood could've been better.
Could've been was an understatement for him.
He could remember the day when his father, Dr. Harlan E. Blakk was promoting that stupid product he didn't even remember what it was.
The blast, the fall of his father by the stupid gangster which was viggo dare.
All of it felt fuzzy in Thaddius' head, but back then it felt like everything was going slow and adrenaline was kicking in, but he just…froze and did nothing.
Then his father left him…all for his own life? Thaddius' view on him was changed after that, now his father is a blurry image in his head after all of it. Honestly everything felt a blur, was that even how it happened?
. . .
All he can remember clearly is the days of labor right after such an event. The work of slag rock cavern was tough, Thaddius could remember the scrapes and burns he felt on his hands after moving each rock and the hard like stone scraped against his arms and hands, so many tears shed from pain, and the words of the others stuck in his head from the day he began working.
“Get used to it kid. All you have is meaningless hard labor for the rest of your life..”
He could remember those words clearly as he would work in the dusty and cold environment, coughs and sneezes, crying on the cold stone floor after each day felt sick, he felt sick. He even wanted his father back, his old and tarnished home sounded better than this.. . . he knew someone would save him…right? The Shane's would. He hoped. He had hope.He could remember seeing a shane when he was little, his father unamused while he was amazed, the courage and talent like them saving lives each time.
Now they would be the one’s saving him right? They had to.
After endless cycles of work, finally it felt like he was going to be saved. A shane had entered the Cavern! This was it for little Thaddius! He could remember seeing the shane taking down some criminals, now was his chance, he had to get the attention of the shane he could also remember, Jimmo Shane. After what seemed like eternity, he managed to throw a rock in Shane's direction, and it hit him, looking over, Jimmo Shane saw Thaddius and that was his glimmer of hope, this was it, he would be saved!..But he was not. Even through the plea in his eyes.
Jimmo Shane just looked at him before walking off on his mecha, not caring at all. Not even at the boy’s plea, Thaddius felt like he was frozen.That wasn't right, he was supposed to be saved! He had to be, in desperation, Thaddius chased after the shane, his little hands managing to grasp onto the side of the mecha, and his pleas started, begging, he needed to be saved from this!
“Please! Help me! I'm trapped here! I need help please!” Jimmo looked at him, his face was…filled with disgust before driving off in his Mecha, leaving poor Thaddius by himself as he fell to the ground, shock and hopelessness filling him, feeling like everything he believed in was a lie.
Now he was left to rot here, for who knows how long…
. . .
Teenage years was not easier for Thaddius in the slightest, he had to always watch his back for anything, in case someone was going to go after him, at first he began slug slinging to be the best but then it started to develop into one of protection for himself, after all, every stare thrown at him felt like a dagger and if he didn't move quickly, he knows he will be getting a dagger thrown at him next.
Soon he was recruited for viggo dare, and for a while he felt like he was on top of the world, until…the special treatment began for him. He was not stupid, he could see the way Viggo dare grab at his arm for a long period of time, came so close that he could almost feel his breathing at his neck, but..he was just doing his duties and his boss was proud of him. Right?
He lost count of how many times he had said that to himself and with viggo dare to him.
He could hear those words constantly.
“...You would never let me down, right Thaddius?”
“...You would never fail me right…”
“ ..I’m the only family you’ve ever need..”
It did not help that Viggo dare kept…rubbing his shoulder and getting very close while saying that…at first he'd tried to make him stop, with some type of lie or excuse but it was quickly shut down before he could and he just kept his mouth shut. He felt powerless in this all. But.what could he do?…he kept doing what Viggo dare told him to do…even if it meant blood would be shed from others or himself.
. . .
. . . then the confrontation of Jimmo shane came…he was furious, now..he wasn't going to challenge him..it was stupid to even try…now..in this AU, he did not challenge him out of thinking he could stand his ground and prove his worth…he did not know what he was trying to accomplish anyways…he was just angry and furious, just the sight of the shane brought back memories to when he cried alone in the dusty cavern of slag rock.
Wanting someone to save him, the imprisonment for 6 months didn't help either.
Being chased out of the cavern was not the worst thing in the world, after all, he at least would be as far away from that man, from this cavern as possible.
This was not his home, it never was. His home was nowhere and now he just needed to survive.
. . .
Once growing slightly older, Thaddius' mental state was getting worse, but he was getting stronger each day, fighting men twice his size to practice his skill. Even if it meant killing some…which absolutely made his mental state go down even more from it.
Fighting tooth and nail each day. He'd train so much he'd pass out or until his knees gave out. Eventually, he grew overwhelmed everyday and he needed to stop for a while, he knew his body needed a small break or else he would die and all of this would be for nothing…each day…he felt these nightmares plague him…one of carnage and bloodshed..it felt weird..even to him..when he awake and he panicked and sweating..even..crying.
What was his life at this point…
Thankfully…it was not so shortly after that he began to meet will..even if it was a rocky start at first…will was the best thing to happen for him..sometimes he wonders if he never met will…he probably would…
. . . he doesn't want to think about it…the thought makes him feel anxious.
At first…he was..annoyed beyond belief…who was this boy and why couldn't he leave him alone? He just wanted to be left alone! After all..the boy could have just been pretending anyways…but after multiple attempts and meeting at the slug tournament, Thaddius felt uneasy…he was flattered by such kindness. But even if the boy was genuine…
he felt as if he did not deserve such kindness in the first place. And after all, each time he raised his fist, the boy would flinch as if expecting to receive such a hit. Thaddius decided then that he did not deserve such a kind person in his life…
he could do better anyways…but after getting selected as the only few…he tried practicing, but his hands were so sore, one of them gave out and he began to bleed from his hand…and even then….the boy….who now he learned was will….helped him?..and still smiled at him..it felt like he had been being too…rude..maybe..being friends with the boy…wouldn't be so bad… ? He could only hope…
. . .
he was right…for once..and it felt nice…
CHANGES IN LIFE
With will Shane being there for him, the only family he truly had, it felt less numb and better in life for him…waking up and going out…and seeing will visit him…it felt nice…even visiting will felt nice too. He could smile at that with no issue, at first his home was with will Shane…In the Shane hideout…but thaddius decided he could use his own place, to have more room for his stuff and work he would do. Since he didn’t want to bother will Shane with it.
so he made the citadel, as his new home…but the shane hideout is always considered Thaddius home too..he wont forget that. Ever.
Thaddius builds his citadel in the jungle cavern though, and mostly under a glowing mushroom tree, usually one who would see the citadel and blakk’s industries, it is a nice sight. Since there is slug energy around.
His home is still a black/gray inside, but there's nature all around, vines surrounding the walls beautifully, the environment feels welcoming inside, even in blakk’s office. Dr.blakk now just creates experiments and focuses on science to try and improve slugterra in any way possible, or will try and make slug’s more powerful in less..dangerous or evil ways…he does work on mecha’s too, and mostly works on experiments or focuses on shipments and anything with payment in slugterra.
(His recruits are different people, he does not have the workers as his canon counterpart.)
Overall Blakk is way more calmer when will is present, and is stable when eli is around. He considers them family, and in a way they are the only ones fully able to make him fully calm and in peace, even if he doesn't look like it.
He is just overall a grumpy scientist with a short fuse.
Though after the final fight arc, he does feel better mentally and is trying to recover, is more calmer, and less to lose his temper.
RELATIONSHIPS-
Blakk has no current interests of love, over all he does not think of himself as deserving as one, he's kinda insecure about himself to go and chase love so he focuses on work instead.
He does dream of having kids…that feeling of becoming a father sounds wonderful to him, having a family of his own, but its only dreams he can chase, he does not wish to have children at the moment, he is scared he will keep the cycle of the trauma he has and either become a neglectful parent or be terrible or harsh, but yet, he does not seem to realize how good of a second father figure he is to eli.
He is too harsh on himself sometimes.
ELI SHANE-
He considers him like family, in a way he pictures eli as his nephew in a way, but..after the training he went with eli, even eli admits to seeing Blakk as a father to him too, and Blakk can't help but admit he sees eli as a son too. Over all, he confides in Eli as a son/Nephew to him, and likes to sometimes share stories with him, whether it be of adventures of him and Will's experiences in patrolling slugterra or of old tales of slugterra that he can remember from his early childhood days.
Eli always likes to listen to them, even if Blakk struggles to tell a story, Blakk is a parent to him in a way.
They have a good relationship with each other.
WILL SHANE-
Will and him are very close, some even think of the two as brother’s, best friends? Family…anything of the sort, no one in slugterra could think otherwise of the two.
Will and Eli are mostly allowed to walk in the citadel with no trouble, the guards shrug them off, due to knowing that their practically family is to Blakk, even if Blakk seems annoyed by their simple presence, he isn't actually, that's just how he is. Will is probably the only one (besides eli, and maybe the shane gang) to be able to hug Blakk randomly, sometimes blakk will hug them back but if he is busy, he will pat them on the back or shoulder, head.
Blakk cares deeply about will, and in return, will cares deeply about him, will even brought down eli when he was a baby to let blakk hold him, when will disappeared, his mental state was..not the best, that his workers were concerned and a little scared, but even more so worried, and even a few of the people in slugterra could notice, eli shane could notice, the shane gang could notice.
As much as blakk tries to hide it, he feels more empty when will is gone, and if eli were to be gone, his mental state would go down more, to the point of just snapping. Blakk is already unstable as it is. He doesn't need to lose any more people he cares about. He's a broken man. No matter what.
PRESENT
Overall…blakk’s mental state is recovering just like will’s, especially after Will is found and alive, he still is a bit unstable, but he is doing better. He stayed by Will's side, even if Will was sleeping, he had to stay by Will's side due to fear and anxiety overtaking him. Things are getting slightly better in his life, especially after the final battle…he still has some issues he needs to fix…but…he knows he will be fine..especially with his family.
…he’ll recover….especially with his family…

SHCIHDJENE OKAY SORRY IF THE POST IS VERY LONG…JUST REDEMPTION!BLAKK CHANGES IN HIS STORY ARE A LOT..SO YEAH…AND MOST OF IT IS KINDA TOLD IN HIS PERSPECTIVE SO ITS A LOT..AND I TRIED TO SIMPLIFY WILL AND BLAKK’S POSTS SINCE THERES A LOT THAT THEY GO THROUGH SO YEAH…ELI IS NEXT ON THIS AU🗣️💖 THEN TWIST THEN A BIT OF THE SHANE GANG I THINK THEN ILL SHOW THE FINAL FIGHT ARC OF THIS AU WHICH WILL BE BASICALLY BE A RECOVERING AFTER A BATTLE SO STAY TUNED I GUESS?😭😭 aight! Peace…
Redemption Au! Eli Shane! (and I’m officially back 😭🙏)
. . .
Okay…so i usually disappear after a while after posting sometimes depending, but i kinda lost motivation with anything and been focused on other things in life and i guess i kinda lost interest in posting for a while…But im back! And determined to finish this Au storyline! If I can call it that- but! I’m planning on finishing Eli and some other info about the Au before I officially make a fanfic about it! Maybe…I’m not sure! But I will dive deeper into that as I’m thinking of maybe doing a comic instead! I thought I had made up my mind but apparently not😭 but after this I’m going to actually post fan art and other things!
Oh and I will think about doing FNAF or other fan arts for others so only time will tell I guess-
Anyways here’s Eli!
Eli is slightly different to his counterpart but there isn’t much! (Other than being a bit more stronger and better trained-)
He still is a bubbly, dorky Guy who loves puns..though sometimes twist takes that title and is more dorky than him- but Eli is still the same, but he’s doing a lot better in this Au! He’s a bit more of a thinker during his plans and because of Au Blakk’s training, he is even harder to defeat (depending on the enemy) he is very good in combat training due to Blakk and with a bit of the incredible’s master training, he’s well more experienced compared to his Cannon Counter part!
Still clumsy though sometimes, like his dad😭
LORE
Eli grew up in what he considered a happy life!
Well sort of..he had faded memories of slightly meeting blakk but they blurred since he was nearly about to become a toddler during that time. His relationship with his mom was…complicated, at times she was sweet and caring but as he grew up, he could feel her neglect towards him, and could often see her on the couch passed out from her drinking…So at age 5, he remembered his father divorcing his mom. He doesn’t remember much from that day, but he could remember his mother just not caring and leaving through the door..
He sometimes misses her..
And sometimes he doesn’t.
Growing up, he was raised pretty constantly by his father, even if there were some days he didn’t see Will, will always made sure to make up for that time, never wanting to be away for too long in his child’s life..he’d even put off weeks of being a Shane to spend time with Eli, so for most of Eli’s childhood, will Shane was never really absent or gone for too long!
And even if he was Eli always was patient.
Eli doesn’t remember much about his other family, the only other family he’s ever been around or interacted with is his uncle and aunts from his mom side, and his grandma, but never from his father’s side..expect uncle jimmo once or twice.
. . .
Already Will began to break 2 rules of the Shane code, and was beginning, in his family’s mind..Bringing shame into the family, which is also why Will cut communication with them a long time ago.
To Will’s family and the Shane code book, He broke one of the very first rules ever made, ‘never disrespect your legacy.’
A rule placed for the Shane’s of upcoming years to never not do your work, whatever you had to do was important and no distractions were allowed.
So will shane cutting off his days to spend time with his family, friends, putting the Shane work aside, broke the rule and made his uncle, mother and father and other relatives despise him more.
The second rule he broke was put at the last, and was always reminded of each Shane who would soon step up and take the Bandoleer and blaster for themselves.
‘Be loyal to your training’
By putting this rule, the Shane family for ages have always trained their children, whoever would take the place of the Shane role, would have to train hard, or everyday, and their children too.
It was a custom once the child turned 6, they would begin Shane children, it was a must, so they would be more conscious and remember things better.
. . .
Will easily broke this rule, and he didn’t feel bad, yet a bit guilty about it, but if given the choice again, he would gladly
Do it again.
Once Eli turned 6, he never trained him, he made sure he had a playful childhood, and this caused anger through the Shane family, as arguments went back and forth sometimes between some relatives.
Will Shane made SURE Eli focused on school, friends, playing, everything expect the Shane stuff, he didn’t want to make Eli feel like he needed to be successful or be proven worthy, he was only a child, he shouldn't have had to carry that burden..especially the one will carried so long ago when he was a child himself.
. . .
Eli had a fun childhood in his opinion, and the time he was told more about Slugterra finally was when he was 10 years old, since his time was nearing, but Will wanted to take a slow approach, he didn’t want to pressure Eli or make him think that ‘oh! I have to be a Shane!..I have to work had to prove myself to my dad and focus on only this..”
Will made sure to give Eli other ideas, so he didn’t think he had to be a Shane.
. . .
Eli felt comfortable enough with deciding to become a Shane, not due to over pressure, wanting to prove to his father, but because he wanted to help people.
He made the choice himself rather than being forced or the role being pushed upon him..
. . .
HOW HE IS LIKE-
Eli is bubbly and all about just like his cannon self, Loves puns, but he is more serious in a way due to blakk, not in a bad or cold way, just so he takes things with more consideration, is more quick and clever, and is a fair and well fighter.
He thinks and usually half his plans work really well due to blakk’s thinking passing onto him sometimes during training.
(He’s still his dad son though..😅)
Will slip up and be a bit clumsy at times, but he’s a pretty advanced slugslinger and fighter. Is more advanced in a way compared to his counter part. Still a dorky guy, Trixie makes sure he doesn’t do anything stupid still, while kord and Eli prank each other and go into full warzone …
He has a good heart, and it’s more motivated to grow with blakk’s training, and with his childhood, especially with the way Will raised him. Will always made sure to teach him a lot about compassion, how to give instead of take and to Procter everything in Slugterra, the slugs, the people, everyone, safe others from bad ones, still show remorse and kindness.
He cares deeply about blakk (sees him as an uncle/father figure sometimes)
He’s genuinely more brightful! Though after his dad is saved he feels a lot better, though some final battle happens kinda scars him a little but he is doing fine!
(He also got the mouth scar from some training from blakk, proud of his scar like twist, just a bit disappointed he didn’t get it from an actual slug slinging duel.💀)
Ahsuhsiahejwj SOO THATS ELI’S LORE FOR NOW- Sorry for the long disappearances, I’ll try better this month and April hopefully 🙏 alright see yall next time, peace!
“What do I truly want?”
. . .
I feel like I made Dr.blakk in my Au suffer way more worse than Canon blakk…but his unstable like nature really is needed to make him different in a way from canon Dr.blakk. Canon blakk strived to be the best slug slinger than anyone else in the EP Back to blakk…
Well…Redemption!Au Blakk strived for the same thing, but that eventually started because he was scared, he wanted to defend himself from others, But after having to kill especially young, and train till he nearly collapsed, fighting guys twice his size to survive and train, seeing bloodshed too…It…messed him up..
He’s more panicked and stressed…He needs a break but refuses to have one.
Redemption!Blakk’s is confused now..he doesn’t know what he wanted anymore, other than doing all of it for survival, he keeps telling himself he’s doing this to become the best slug slinger…but..is that what he truly wants?…He knows it isn’t what he wants…
. . .
AGXISJKS SHORT POST I GUESS..but yeah…redemption blakk went through a lot..as if..it wasn’t obvious by his lore explained 😭I tried my best with the background so if it looks weird, that’s why…but also wanted to capture a messy feel to really show how Redemption!Blakk felt in his young days. I’ll try posting more content of him being happy-…I’ll..try🙏
Bath time! Unfortunately.
I sometimes had this thought that Young Thaddeus sometimes smells bad like in general 💀…also..because I head cannon in my AU that Thaddeus travels a lot so..practically he has…No place to shower or bath so he just…does it when he can in somewhere he’s able to do it, 😭 THE UNDERTOW CAVERN.
Granted I remember that place is inhibited by pirates, so I would guess Thaddeus would practically do his best to avoid them or fight one off if he had the energy, and I’m guessing the water IS NOT the cleanest too😭..it’s sea water so..Thaddeus wouldn’t bath in it for long, but hey, you got to do what you have to, to not smell…horrendous I guess? 💀 This would also be before Will tells him he can stay over in the Shane hideout too, so it was just baths at the sea water for him. -.-
I don’t think Thaddeus enjoy’s the baths as well..also because the water isn’t the cleanest I presume, it’s sea water ☝️
Will joins him a few times, because I’m sure he probably likes swimming so he’d take that as a chance to spend some time with Thaddeus and swim! Thaddeus takes it serious though and tries and at least like wash Will or something like his hair when they make conversation.
Take this as you will…🙏
I finally drew these guys after a long while 😭
Average day in R!Slugterra.
And blakk’s just done with everything. 💀
And Will is just coping. ❤️
Been offline for a while, But My summer’s been going pretty good! Take this in the meantime, Outsiders content is next 🗣️ so take this while I go disappear once again just for a bit.
I usually have a lot to say but this time no, Not gonna spoil any next post too much 🙏 and also this silly meme I wanted to do with Will and blakk hehe.
Wanted to do this in my own way since I suck at posing-
