The Dark Crystal

Thank you.

I need pictures. Pictures of Deet!

If she was on social media, what would Deet Tweet?

Deet would tweet her cute little feet.

Brea is second-best girl, but I'm sure you knew that and it was just a typo.

Ok

We need pictures of Deet being NEET.

Hey, my current copy of The Dark Crystal has a blurry shot of something crystalline behind the end credits, but I swear I remember the one I had as a kid having a blue-tinted drawing of Aughra's face instead. Can anyone else confirm a version like that?

>"Drain the gelflings, race war now! Nothing gets me harder than the thought of a village full of flat-nosed gelflings spasming in agony as they cough up blood from their poisoned blistering lungs. Armies of armored Garthims will round up every flithy gelfling, cram them into carriages and deliver them to my crystal castle where I will perosnally drain them. The machine will run non-stop until Thra is a gelfling free planet and every podling, faggot and race traitor is reduced to a vial of essence."

Deet is for making sweet, consensual, gentle, marital love to Rian

Short videos of animals doing cute things

>Rian
Fuck no, Rian is a boring piece of shit.

I'm autistically checking his channel/twitter daily to see if he's working on a review of the show. I just want this show to succeed... and he could help with that.

>merrymaking ceases

Cute pics/vids of animals, pics of her family on Crystalmas and Skeksgiving, vids of her singing.

The decision to renew or can the show should happen in less than two weeks.

And the show’s like 10 hours long so editing it all can’t be easy.

Appealing ideas.

>Crystalmas and Skeksgiving

I bet Deet would be on Instagram just posting pics of cute nurlocs that she's feeding.

Mostly SoL stuff about her family and life with horribly bad camera angles as she wouldn't know how to properly record it.

JUST Gurjin?

Brea nerdposts about books, Seladon posts racist things about other clans + podlings, what does Tavra do?

Shows off her sword colleciton.

Links to sword and armour reviews.

Also, jokes. She is the fun one, after all.

/fit/ humble bragging and /k/ weapon porn, with occasional dips into /lgbt/ to check for butch threads.

>Deet would be that person who would reguarly write a good morning message to every single friend on her list

Ah yes, Skeksgiving, that wonderful time of year when Gelfling all across Thra travel far and wide to be together with their families and loved ones so that they can give more tithes to the Skeksis.

Post photos of her fitt body

Is it wrong that I'm hoping for RLM to do a vid on the series for the same reason? I'm not a huge fan, but it seems like something they'd actually enjoy and recommend and that'd be another big bump for the show.

cutest moment in the entire how

Tried watching this today, but I had to stop after the first couple episodes. While the cinematography is gorgeous and I love the practical effects, I feel like there's a *lot* of anti-semitic coding in the writing and production and it was starting to make me really uncomfortable.

Attached: nervous.png (126x126, 12K)

Because they're totez adorbz ^_^

It's the nnormiest collectible designed for normies.

I'll never get the point of these - if you're going to put that much detail into something, why not just make it a fucking realistic-looking action figure toy instead of a fucking weird chibi bastard child thing that you sit on a desk or leave in a box like a damn beanie baby?

That looks awful.

wtf?
this is antifascist from episode 1 to epsiode 10, it's literally a show telling a revolt against the bourgeoisie, and it has parallels with the holocaust.
Where the fuck did you see "anti-semitic" codings?

I mean... yeah... but that's part of the appeal, tbph.

Attached: le happy skeksis.png (1000x1000, 218K)

How was the writing anti-semitic for you?

Because they're cheap, mass-produced and appeal to nostalgia. Basically overglorifed McDonald's toys.

Attached: yes and.png (175x175, 22K)

At least McDonald's toys are usually actual toys - they're cheap, shitty toys, but they at least function as toys. Funko pops are glorified paper weights.

So forgive my ignorance, how is the series going?
Its been at least a solid decade since i saw Dark Crystal last, should I re-watch it again before seeing the tv show? or is it shit and its just fun to make fun of it being shit?

youtube.com/watch?v=D9eiJVKsSeQ

Series is great enough that most of Yea Forums enjoys it (and they hate many things). I suggest watching the movie first, then the series, then the movie again.

>Series is great enough that most of Yea Forums enjoys it
Somehow that's actually kinda concerning.

Attached: concernlevelalmost.png (622x470, 160K)

Movie is sort of shitty, effects and puppetry is still amazing, but it isn't all that good otherwise. You can watch show without having it at all.

This.

Also, be prepared to get a Skeksis husbando out of the show.

This looks like a completly different character

Movie is like a bunch of great and interesting concepts thrown together without an actual story arc or character development to tie them all together,

To be completely honest, apart from the puppet effects and the general world-building stuff, the movie doesn't really hold up well in terms of writing and voice acting. It's a good watch for little kids, put the fear of Skeksis in 'em and all that, but you can totally watch the series without rewatching the movie.

>To be completely honest, apart from the puppet effects and the general world-building stuff, the movie doesn't really hold up well in terms of writing and voice acting
that was the feeling I got last time I watched it. "Good time killing movie. but the plot was kind of vague and stitched together"

The movie gives context for the series, which works better as a prequel viewed after the fact.

This is a stupid joke that I don't think needs its own thread but every time I think of Garthim I think "Gotham" and then I just imagine Commissioner Gordon commanding Garthim instead of the GCPD

What the shit, that exists?

You're just figuring that out?

50+ pages of it my man.

Wait did the heretic die in the last episode?
It felt like Hup grabed the golem on Heretic's dead clothes o/

Also 15 skeksis remaining if my accunt is good, which means 5 more will get killed

Nah. Their living space is just messy. There's shit all over the place.

At least 3 Skeksis are left on the chopping block: skekGra the Heretic, skekLi the Satirist and skekSa the Mariner.

Why is Seladon a hoe?

Just start dating someone who works for the CIA

He’s fine, but he may die in S2.

Plus two whose titles we don't know yet.

She’s a Vapra.

The 2 whose titles we don't know died directly after the split in a fit of mystic-killing

Skekshlom the treasurer

13 remain. 2 died right after the split, 3 died in the show. 3 more that must die.

It hurts....

I thought the same thing

Looks like a mogwai combined with Raunip

"Deet killed skekLach in the Castle of the Crystal, I swear to Thra that's how it happened!"
"You're lying, Rian! Deet was never on Dark Crystal Island, only you! Only ever you!"

Eh, if S@ does get picked up, the earliest we see it is in late 2020.

At least it would be confirmed by that time. We're on literal limbo right now.

Expect news about the show's fate around the end of September.

Also, it took Netflix six weeks to announce Season 3 of Stranger Things, despite it having a massive fanbase.

Deet’s too kind and outgoing for that.

The real NEET is Seladon.

It gets laid out in the scene

They say the horn calls SkekMal back to the castle and SkekVar says he did it to have him catch Rian, but that it’s not out of the realm of possibility that the Hunter might just mutiliate Chamberlain and is dangerous and unpredictable

That's true, but fuck Seladon.

It’s not racist to realize that the powers that be don’t have your best interests at heart. The problem with /pol/ is that they’re convinced the people who rule the world are Jews whose primary goal is making Western Europe more diverse.

Because he absolutely would slut it up if it meant staying in the emperor's graces

I’ve never seen a show (or film) they actually like, so this is a nice change of pace.

Probably very confused since none of them have any skeks drive nor can they reproduce. They'd probably get more a rise out of drinking essence than intercourse.

Oh yes, "coding" as the Skeksis characters are literally all blatant negative Jewish stereotypes. It's extremely obvious that Skeksis are Jews.

...

The Skeksis could be portrayed as greedy white men desperate to drain the last drop of oil from the planet. They could be corrupt executives bleeding the company dry while preparing their golden parachutes to bail themselves out when it collapses. They could be the "Boomers" destroying the planet out of spite and the desire to live just one more day. They could be the gangsters destroying their communities by selling drugs for money and reveling in that wealth even as their corruption spreads and kills the very people they claim to protect.

If you see jews that's because you /wanted/ to see jews. The Skeksis are simply people in power that have allowed power to corrupt them and are more than happy to destroy or corrupt anything and everything in order to maintain said power. Any other allusions are made by the audience.

No, I don't know if you're American or not, but many of the Skeksis characters are total Jewish stereotypes in contemporary American culture. Many of them even talk like New York Jews.

Nah. If the Emperor was bedridden that long they'd already have simply taken his power politically instead of waiting for him to die.

"inability to rule" or somesuch. Or they'd simply turn him into a figurehead instead of being in fear of him and then fighting over the throne when he died.

I will fucking sob a flood when Deet inevitably dies

I do believe that the Emperor will become more and more unhinged and obsessive with mastering the Darkening and even with ALL of the essence he'll be crippled by it, but not before causing an apocalyptic amount of damage
Even on his deathbed no one (except for fucking skeksil) will dare fuck with him for fear that he'll explode them with his dark magic

>Or they'd simply turn him into a figurehead instead of being in fear of him and then fighting over the throne when he died.
Eh, fair enough.

>At least Tavra kept up with her soldiering duties between fucking seanigger women
Wat,

Uh, do the books make Tavra a lesbian? With Onica I'm guessing?

Never

They learned the joys of throwing puppets. They said they did it a few times because of plot, but it was funny and fun so they started to do it more.

Same sort of thing happened on Farscape. Ben Browder improvised wacking, strangling, throwing, whatever Rigel and it stuck. I think they were worried a bit at first that he would damage it, but it just made him look more real and tangible. They did it a lot more. Like holy jeez a lot more.

Beating up puppets is good for realism.

>With Onica I'm guessing?
Yes.

Anybody got links to the soundtracks?

The good thing about practical effects is their tangibility and that should always be taken advantage of.

I had no idea all the Rygel-abuse plotlines were literally because the actors liked kicking around the puppet.

Then I'm really surprised they didn't touch on that in the show. It feels like they've never met there.

Does spider-Tavra die in the books? If not, I'm wondering if we'll find out she's still "alive" in the Ascendancy for some season 2 plot.

skekMal was too based for this world

I mean for DLing on the go, but thank you.

I liked the librarian. Agree on the rest though.

I forget if he totally improvised it in shot, or if he worked with them to see if it would look good or what. So don't quote me on the exacts. It's in the special features about season one.

Is that the raven alien that was a prototype Skeksis?

From what I recall others saying, the crystal spinner that was attached to her is still alive with her mind inside. Apparently there is no ascendancy in the books

It's at least alluded to when Tavra talks about wanting to run off with the Sifa and responding with familiarity when Brea mentions going to see Onica.

She's alive in the spider body in the books and her transformation takes place a lot earlier in the story.

>Is that the raven alien that was a prototype Skeksis?
Opposite. Leftover Seksis puppets were repurposed into aliens for that one episode of Farscape.
>tfw hoping against all hope that this show does well enough the suits greenlit a Farscape continuation with more puppets

Yeah, I'm aware of that.

There seem to be SO many dropped book story lines that they could be restuctured into a full second season. The prophecy still needs to be found, and so that entire plot with the flute could be the Duel Glaive quest of season 2. Maybe that's where spider-Tavra, Naia, Amri, and whoever else can get time to shine.

>Opposite. Leftover Seksis puppets were repurposed into aliens for that one episode of Farscape.

That's.... exactly what I meant. I had heard it was an early model Skeksis

Normally gay couples in fantasy are treated as LGBT people dream of full acceptance in the west during the 21st century. It rings hollow and bullshit in settings built around old religious dogma and ignorance and normal human bullshit.

The neat thing about Dark Crystal is the Gelfling are just different enough that it for once actually makes sense that they don't mind. Granted, partially because we know relatively little about their beliefs, but still. For once it doesn't feel like hack bullshit, and it's not being jammed in at weird spots.

Heck, the idea that the tough soldier girl is of course a lesbian is perhaps the most "hack" bit here, and that's not really that bad, so whatever.

Only the Vapra.

Scrollkeeper was definitely the most fuckable of the skeksis.

Also I had no idea that MCU Zola played that librarian but I guess I do now.

some of the dialog called them skesis,too, so it's confirmed farscape and dark crystal are in the same universe

Holy fuck what

Rian and Deet definitely got magical bonding from the Dreamfasting. They're both treating Brea as a best friend. Which is neat. I like how Dreamfasting can instantly impart an appropriate relationship. It's not all instant love forever. It may be neat to see one spawn hate between two people.

whats the fucking point of a season 2 or even season 1.

Thread link?

They've already talked about the film only being part of the story in regards to the genocide. We have fuck all idea what that means in practical terms, but it does sounds a lot like they're going to work around it in some way for there to be more survivors than we would expect. It makes sense, since the sequel material all has a thriving Gelfling civilization, and clearly Jen and Kira can't do all that work by themselves.

That one died quickly

The universe is a rather large place, and iirc Farscape took place in a single galaxy. Thra is likely in some far flung galaxy, and the urskeks from an even farther one.

Poor, gentle Deet doesn't know any better. We need to save her from her own ignorance.

I know it's partly because they're cave hippies but Deet has two dads and no one gave a fuck. I can only assume Gelfling culture is much more open in some regards than others.

PODLING JUSTISTAAAA

Probably more clan fuckery. The Sifa and Vapra don't seem to get along very that well even among the clans, at least not Cadia's group when he was elder

The Grottan seem a bit more happily oblivious to things than the other clans. So I think that leaves a little room for uncertainty.

Not with that attitude

Attached: Jim Henson's A Tale of Sand-056.jpg (2173x3056, 1.1M)

There's CGI here and there for sets and effects but the puppetry itself is still pretty much entirely practical

Not really, I think they said they use a tiny bit at the corners of mouths and eyes to give some characters a bit more fine expression than foam latex can provide, and a few times they animate the Skeksis' tongues so they don't look like they're just flapping their mouths open and closed when they talk, other than that though it's exclusively puppetry. On top of that the same artists who worked on the original movie have an enormous presence in the show, working on or directly overseeing basically everything related to the appearance of characters. If they disapproved of something then it isn't in the show.

If it was that long someone probably would have snuck in and tried to smother him after a while.

No, as in most will probably die but a fuckton will probably go into hiding too.

i like this description, yeah. the whole darkening just seems like its a fairly simple, classical fairytale depiction of characters striving to keep an entire planet alive and healthy with virtue (Aughra nursing the little mind control creature back to health, Deet shown as compassionate throughout) but can also be guilty of being naive vs. those that are selfish and manipulative of others without ever looking beyond their own self interest, but I found it interesting they weren't portrayed as being weak.

Origin of the skeksis/mystics and how they got the crystals doesn't seem to jam well with the movie, or at least there are some big plotholes mainly regarding Aughra being fucking retarded.

Finally sat down to watch an episode or two of Resistance last night... I got all the way through 6.

As someone who saw and loved the movie when it came out as a child, it is amazing how it is just such a nostalgic feeling, revisiting a comfy old home or something. What a love letter this show is. To think so obscure movie I loved as a child is given this labor of love series (and seeing all you making memes and art) just brings a ray of joy to my tired old heart.

One thing I'm curious of, are the skekSis/urU tongues CGI or just neat some floppy material? I'm curious how much CGI is used in general, as you could tell the Hunter was in several action scenes and the Spitter in some as well. But so much puppets!

It's wonderful. I was so skeptical but your guy's love of the show made sure I watched it sooner rather than later.

A mix of both depending on the scene. I notice it far more often with Emperor only because his mouth is so wide and flat while I haven't noticed a practical tongue in SkekTek's mouth yet, not an articulate one anyhow.

I wonder how much those suckers weigh.

>but that it’s not out of the realm of possibility that the Hunter might just mutiliate Chamberlain and is dangerous and unpredictable
Pretty sure Hunter was about to do just that when he learned Chamberlain wanted to him to hunt a "mere gelfling." They probably know you shouldn't call the hunter unless you got some serious shit that needs to be done.

In the show, as evil as skeksis are, they generally don't seem interested in outright killing one another, with Skeksil being a noteworthy exception. Look at how far they went to save the Hunter. The Emperor spent the whole show gulping down as much essence as he could, but was willing to sacrifice all of it to revive the hunter. Although it's less because skeksis have some sort of hidden altruism and more because the death of another skeksis is a distressing reminder of their own morality.

I'm so sorry user, almost every character except Augra and the Skeksis are gonna die, maybe Hup will survive as Punished Venom Hup, a Podling denied his Deet gf, and the quantity of suffering he'll experience on a daily basis will be beyond conceivable.

No? And yes she's a bit retarded. Even in the film she allowed her desire to learn about the universe to let her put Thra's very soul in the hands of outsiders of dubious origin for a thousand years.

No, it implies the normal fantasy trope of future visions being imprecise. It's a common way to motivate the plot without giving it away. They're leading up to the film still. They're not there yet.

They are hinting that they may work around the genocide in some way.

Jesusfuck I didn't expect them to be THAT huge. I thought they were mupper sized.

They are. Some muppets are fuckhuge.

>posters here think they can take on a skeksis 1v1

They've been very slightly upscaled from the movie (although everything is kept to scale with everything else) but yeah, creatures like Skeksis, Mystics, Landstriders and Garthim are all people in costume using partially animatronic suits.

not quite related but the old Garthim suits were seventy pounds

Why was their scale changed anyway? Was the scale of everything changed? Is everything the same relative size to the viewer, and it was done for in camera reasons?

They mention in "The Making Of" special that they puppeters were cramped inside of the skeksis puppets, so maybe they got embiggened so the puppeters would be slightly more comfortable inside them.

>they're big enough to fuck

Attached: 1542214433611.jpg (500x439, 46K)

i imagine all large puppets weigh less now due to materials development

Maybe just to pack in a little bit more detail, or make them easier to sling onto actor's backs and puppeteer's hands. Probably for the most part, because if I remember correctly in the original movie it was pretty hellish to get the actors suited up and ready to go and they were all under a huge amount of physical stress. In the making of documentary they show that now getting into the Skeksis costume is much easier, their body is basically a backpack you strap on.

Exactly my point. I mean arguably half the Dark Crystal one is soooort of glaive like. But it's pretty bullshit.

At least it itself was a fake made by nuts living in a desert, so it makes a kind of sense.

This was the only time in the entire series that I was able to sort of identify that it was Simon Pegg voicing the Chamberlain. He fucking killed this role.

So much of how this show was shot reminds me of Farscape. How much of that is just because that's how you shoot things and Henson, how much because the director knows Farscape, and how much because that's how you HAVE to shoot that was? And how much because I just love Farscape.

I didn't even know it was Simon Pegg till after i finished S1. Dude did a damn good job as the Chamberlain.

Dare I say it's Pegg's best role, period. Not only did he have to accurately replicate an iconic film voice, but also bring subtle nuances to the character and his psyche that weren't really in the original film (Along with delivering much more complex dialogue) all while keeping it in character. And he did it all with flying colors. Nigga unironically deserves an Emmy.

Someone needs to make that little Augra puppet, and one for Heretic and Wanderer so I can make them hug

He would be if the Skeksis actually needed essence to live, which they didn't. The Great Conjuction was gonna happen and reunite the Skeksis and Mystics anyway, it was just a matter of when. If they actually needed it it'd be a different story but they're willing to genocide an entire race just to get high with some slight rejuvenation.
He's /kinda/ right about Rian being a bitchass pussy though. The issue there is that in all cases it's basically what Rian NEEDED to do, regardless of how cowardly it seemed. But it's still enough for Rian to doubt himself and not run, so that at least was a highly effective altered truth.

>I feel like there's a *lot* of anti-semitic coding in the writing and production and it was starting to make me really uncomfortable.
I noticed there was a blatant star of David on the cabinet where the skeksis were keeping the essence locked in the second episode.

The dialogue called the Halosians from memory.

I think the Skeksis were mentioned offhand as another alien race, though.

Good thing you're in a thread entirely composed of likeminded autists, then.

>68 votes for Deet
>against Gwen who got 146
>Spinel, at #1, has 325 votes, which is double what Peridot at #2 has.
It's going to be an uphill battle. She has as much chance of beating this tournament as she does of beating the Skeksis themselves.
But I will not be disheartened. I shall do my teacher Hup proud, and face this monster head on.

>he hasn't already successfully shilled this show to most of his friends yet
Pleb
That sucks though, hope your friends come around to it eventually.

We definitely won't win the tourney overall, but we could edge out Gwen with some staunch campaigning. We'll need to do our best for best girl.
Also, checking those double dubs for Deet!

I regret not nominating Augra for shits and giggles.

You never know mane, she could show up at the very end after the supposed number 1 gets suicided by its lighter half.

Bah
Aughra no silly girl for silly anons to fawn over

>Hmph!

In the making-of documentary they show scenes from a proof of concept short where the skeksis were puppets but the gelfling was completely CG. The gelfling looked super fake and gross when contrasted with the incredible skeksis puppet. I'm so glad they decided to only use CG where necessary to enhance the practicals.

Practicals with a little blend of CG is god tier. For example, the Skeksis and Uru tongues looked great.

Forgot to add pic related

i found them and a lot of the more obsequious cgi distracting. the tongues in particular looked out of sync

Top right looks like she just shit her pants
The other caps don't look good either
Thank the lord it went all-puppets

You're not the first to say that. I'm actually wondering if they'll tone that down after audience feedback for the second season. As well as wondering what other tweaks they might make.

Problem with the cgi gelfling was that they went too... "disney" with it.

Maybe a more grounded and true to the original material gelfling would've looked better.

The other issue is that they looked hilariously tiny in the test footage. You think their scale in comparison to Skeksis is tiny now, it was fucking puny in the cgi tests.

Bullet dodged, boys

Has more of a HTTYD/Rise of the Guardians vibe to it.

on one side,that looks abit cheap and cartoony
on the other hand, it addresses my issue with gelfings in the show and movie,much better facial expressions that convey emotion

Hard disagree, I think the puppets with cgi adjustments to their expressions was the perfect compromise. It's not always perfect, but it works super well.

That’s more uncanny than the puppets.

Archer's speech and the sound of his voice paired with the music swelling gives me fucking chills every time.

>I'd watch an entire show of based skekMal hunting down gelfling fucking shits.
I don't think skekMal bothered with hunting gelfling. SkekSil had to do some pretty hard convincing to get skekMal to consider Rian a worthy target for his hunt; I think he generally sees the weak and pacifist gelfling as unworthy adversaries.

5 liters of nasty skeksis semen

I want to roll skekTek up like that and tell him everything will be okay

Your going to get your $500 foot tall skeksis set and you're going to like it.

SkekSa and SkekEkt are the only females. Who do you think takes the most dick?

Literally makes me want to rewatch the show again just to relive that buildup and payoff
Yeah, the only reason he hunted Rian was that skekSil told him he lied about the Skeksis. If he knew the truth about the essence shit he'd probably call him gay for not just getting /fit/ like he did and would run off hunting something more worth his time.

>only females
false.jpg

SkekSa is 100% a top
SkekEkt is a bottom
So is skekOk, skekTek, and skekSil. Rest of the skeksis are tops.

Pretty sure skekEkt is a trap Skeksis.

skekekt is james charles and skeksa is a carpet muncher so neither

Is Gonzo a Skeksis?

The only CG I felt that I could have done without was the skeksis tongues. They were so fucking distracting and felt unattached to the rest of their bodies. Nothing about the movement felt natural and anytime they tried to make it look like it would sync with some words it was always off.

Crossdressing and trans stuff can't exist when the skeksis are literally hermaphrodites. They can present as more masculine or feminine to our eyes, but they don't really care about gender.
SkekSa is the exception, and I chalk that up to her living among gendered gelflings.

Yech

I can't afford it! I literally don't have that much money in the bank

>against fucking Gwen Tennison
Oof, that's fucking rough.

Is everything aside from Gelflings and Podlings on this garbage planet multi-gendered?

seems to me like most skeksis refer to eachother as male though. words like "master" and "lord" indicate that it's a guy. i don't think there are any mistress or lady skeksis other than skeksa.

Well, the Skeksis and UrRu aren't even of Thra in the first place.

So guys,hear me out here.
what if...
and i'm just saying what if
What if augra somehow does the trick she did for a good portion of gelflings
or
she throws them into dreamspace

if the Chamberlain was allowed to keep his psyops going instead of the General accelerating the war, how would have things gone differently?

>What if augra somehow does the trick she did for a good portion of gelflings
Huh?
>she throws them into dreamspace
That'd mean shit when their physical bodies are still tied to Thra. Seladon arrested Deet while she was still in Dreamspace.

Aughra said she had a dick that rotted off long ago. Don't know if that's true or if that is what she used to make her son. The do seem to retcon some things. Like originally they said that she didn't look like a fucking old troll and was only like that because her flesh burnt away when seeing the light of the urskeks. However she's also said that she was born old and ugly many other times.

About 5% of animal species irl are hermaphrodites

The Skeksis would have more essence and less dead Gelflings corpses.

>J-just the tip, ok?
>Uh...no.

Right here my man.

>He would be if the Skeksis actually needed essence to live, which they didn't. The Great Conjuction was gonna happen and reunite the Skeksis and Mystics anyway, it was just a matter of when.
Even without the conjunction, Hunter shows they don't need essence to stay strong and sharp. All they needed to do was get off their lazy asses and run a few laps around the castle every once in a while.

Likes like Astrid if she was an elf.

their bodies are still in the real world, nigga. They didn't get literally sucked into the dream space

Mostly invertebrates and amphibians.

>son. The do seem to retcon some things. Like originally they said that she didn't look like a fucking old troll and was only like that because her flesh burnt away when seeing the light of the urskeks. However she's also said that she was born old and ugly many other

She used to be green and more plant-like, but was still old

where she killed herself and came back

1. How would that be useful a second time?
2. The Skeksis won't drain her again, they got japed once already.

The Emperor was weakened and died in the film because he kept taking the darkening into himself. Taking essence pretty much just acted as a drug. Good in moderation, but they became junkies and gorged themselves. They also used the ritual of the sun which was shown in the movie, but never fully explained as to how it worked. Just every day they would gain energy from the sun shining through the crystal.

Did Archer think that Hunter was going to just give up or something? Feels like he could have cut out the middle man and killed himself at the start since he knew that was the route that would be taken. I assume though that the Mystics also have a fear of death and being rejected by thra as well as being only half a soul.

No, but Uncle Deadly kinda has the vibe.

What the fuck mods

Not the best for a Dark Crystal setting, but honestly I could go for this design in some other property

Can anybody recommend any other comics or media (even games) that have A similar feel or aesthetic to this? I’ve already exhausted 80s fantasy features because I grew up on them.
