Don't know, seems like it's setup to throw us a curveball.
I haven't finished the show but I have the bad feeling he'll get cucked by shitty lame Rian.
It's a possibility, also they do mention the darkening.
He's going to get cucked, isn't he?
SkekSil is a whore that lets anyone use his ALLPURPOSERASCALHOLE

How many loads has he taken?
Five gallons.
Over 1000 trine?
Quite a few
Someone's gonna make a Chamberlain sex doll + 3 dicks at some point wont they?
Why do they even need essence? They've been around for 300 years before the show starts, aren't they already immortal? Also, I thought they broke apart after gaining the crystal, but Augra knows the Skeksis and not the light aliens.
draining power from the crystal no longer is as effective
They've given Thra so much of the succ that there isn't much ambient energy left to steal.
Oh fuck am I going to drop another $500
Since Deet has little chance of winning Miss Yea Forums, may I suggest nominating Hup and skekSil for the Mr. Yea Forums tournament?
Like an ugly baby.
skeksis are hermaphrodites so we could nominate them for both tournaments on a technicality
skekMal
Sadly since time is linear, the fact that someone will construct such an abysmal creation is inevitable
Don’t act like you wouldn’t get one if it was possible.
>tfw you'll never get a soft, velvety puppet blowjob from lord chamberlain
why even live
>Since Deet has little chance of winning Miss Yea Forums
True as that may be, I will never stop campaigning for based Deethra.
>may I suggest nominating Hup and skekSil for the Mr. Yea Forums tournament?
Nominate Mal or Gra too and sure.
Can we also nominate Gurjin the BASED?
Watch the fucking teeth
So I'm on episode two
Do I turn subtitles on or will that paladin start talking English soon?
remember to wash your gelfling daily
or it might get SMELLY
More of I will never understand why anyone on Yea Forums would keep making threads for Netflix's newest franchise ruined by their SJW pandering.
The subtitles don't translate Podling. He speaks a few English words though
Seladon > Deet > Mira > Brea > Maudra Fara > Onica > Tavra > Aughra > Maudra Maryin
I mean, if Princess Marco was allowed to participate in Miss Yea Forums, I don't see why any of the Skeksis can't be in Mr Yea Forums

Can I be honest with you guys? I don't like Deet, I think she's a bad character and a shitty waifu
Well I don't like you
Seladon always makes me think of Gachimuchi thanks to the uncanny resemblance to Sia.
>Imagine if this song plays in the end credits of the series finale episode
I'm probably gonna cry hard if that happens.
Idk, personally I'm not very attached to the movie. While the puppets, skeksis and world are good the story is boring and kind of sucks. All the characters are super passive and it feels like things just happen. Just re-watched it last week.
I feel like the only thing that matters is the skeksis have to win the garthim war. Everything else is secondary (where the film is concerned). Hell, i wouldnt mind if more skeksis survive
That would be so corny and over the top
It's perfect
I LOVE DEET
So an article came up, basically it says that for this gig the actors auditioned with the puppet right there.
io9 gizmodo.com/the-puppeteer-behind-dark-crystals-deet-has-an-adorable-1838129630/amp
I'd give an archieve link but... I don't remember the site.
They should have played it in the finale credits, I dunno why they didn't.
What's even the point in living when I can't even hug a Skeksis
You could always heist the Henson Creature Shop
You can hug them in your dreams
I'm so sure. By itself, the movie had a buffet of answered questions and extremely vague lore. The movie isn't very good if you never turn your brain off. Most of the characters were ether really retarded like the master who for some reason didn't tell the last living Gelfling about his important quest until the literal last second, or lacked agency like Jen who had next to no character. The skeksis stole the whole show.
>anyone above Deet
>ever
stopped reading there, opinion discarded.
Correction:
>*I'm NOT so sure
If you don’t vote season 2 might never come and nobody will be able to know that Deet is indeed neet
No.
>The chronology is weird
What? No.
>No mention of the darkening
So? We see the effects. The world is clearly dying in the movie. The valley around the castle is totally dead. And perhaps the show will address parts that seem to be different, like the purple and possession.
>Mother Aughra often mentions that the future is not fixed.
That's just normal fantasy shit so she's not immediately just pulling strings and doesn't know exactly how everything will go. The same shit gets said in Star Wars and nearly everything with prophetic visions.
>Why do they even need essence?
To live forever.
>They've been around for 300 years before the show starts, aren't they already immortal?
They are not immortal, they've been sucking the Crystal. They've also been around for ballpark 900 years.
>Also, I thought they broke apart after gaining the crystal, but Augra knows the Skeksis and not the light aliens.
What? She knows both.
Why is there always one "muh SJWs" troll?
The crew said that the flashes of light around the castle are supposed to be the darkening.
Reminder that all of these characters that have captured your heart are destined for horrible, soul-crushing death.
>Why do they even need essence?
They don't, they're just greedy and insecure fucks who think they do. They would have lasted to the great conjuction to reunite anyway regardless of what they did.
They should set up one of those take a pic for so and so amount of money with Chamberlain in a con
Would pay
>tfw season 2 is complete uninterrupted gelfling genocide
Why is literally no one able to draw Gelflings right?
>implying based broth boy won't survive to become the Gordon Ramsay of the gelfling hideouts
pleb
I think a lot of people try to de-puppet them.
Jokes on you, my boy lives and becomes an UrSkek again.
>Andy Samberg and Bill Hader are expensive
>skekGra and urGoh don't get reunited in the film
It's looking bad bros
They're reunited in my heart
The director's commentary was a mindtrip.
>We made this place a desert and all these lines in the background point to the castle. This is to show that they are draining life off the planet.
>If you watch this scene in Italian it's a parody of the vatican.
>If you focus you can see me and Jim having a ritualistic knife fight for the the crystal's blessing. I will remember Jim everytime I have to take off my shirt.
Nearly the entire cast must be expensive. If the stunt casting is what drives up cost too much for renewal, then fuck every last thing on Earth.
Skeksis are Jews, it's hardly an SJW show.
Fuck off
I think the only real curveballs they could throw is having a number of gelfings survive the gartham wars.
As soon as you take that dragon ball shit back to Yea Forums.
On the bright side, it never stopped them from making season 1 in the first place. Assuming the cast stays mostly the same I don't see it being an issue, especially since a bunch of the character with bigger names attached have died already. I'm just mad the typical rounds of e-"""celeb""" reviewers haven't done videos on it yet. Their word of mouth would do wonders to rake in autists to watch this show.
At first they just drained essence or were blessed by the crystal. After who knows how long it's regenerative effects were not as effective. They discovered gelf essence gave a good restoring effect. Then in the movie they are down to podling essence.
I think the key thing is that their immortality did not mean aging gracefully. Skeklatch and skekso were covered with oozing cysts and things were falling off. The skeks had physical problems and the essence cured that.
Plus, as I keep on telling myself, they have like 70 sets and dozens of characters already made. That start up cost has to be a HUGE part of this undertaking. Just to try to recoup that has to make a season two an enticing idea.
Definitely Chamberlain.
He has nostalgia value even to those who haven't watched the series.
Because it's easy (you)s
At least he won't have a dick shaped like a potato
It's shaped like a bowling ball instead
>No SkeksMench the Doctor
>No SkekSchmiel the expensive lawyer
>No SkekAkem the Gemcutter.
I don't think you statement is accurate.
Shape, yes. Size? Very no.
>Why do they even need essence?
It rejuvanates them
>They've been around for 300 years before the show starts, aren't they already immortal?
Longer than that but as far as we know they're just long-lived. Even if they were immortal, nobody likes growing old, especially forever.
>Also, I thought they broke apart after gaining the crystal, but Augra knows the Skeksis and not the light aliens.
She knows them when they were the urskeks
She knows them when they were the skeksis and urru
Why is he so dramatic
These are great, does this drawfriend have an imigur or something?
Snagged it from @Cannibalteeth on twitter
Seladon is for hatefucking Hup
skekLach lookin like yoshi
What is this a picture for crawlies
I see that more as Aughra sees possibilities but nobody know what will ACTUALLY happen. The future IS what it will be, but nobody know what if this possibilities, if any, it will be
Prophets don’t know everything
skekTek did nothing wrong why does he have to suffer so much?
because he's a NERD
Because he's a neeeeeeeeeeerd
But he just wants to help fight nefarious forces
What's the best read/watching order for everything? Should I do the movie first?
Uwaaah
cute
t. skekTek
weakling
More naive Deet exploring her sexuality please
Is it true that Netflix is dying? I know people hate when they keep shoving LGBT stufff into their new shows but then again, Netflix also helps produce good and fun things like this. I'd be sad to see it go honestly.
You don't have to read or watch anything to get it. The original film has great VFX and some neat lore, but to be completely honest it's a bit of a bore.
CUTE!CUTE!!
I say movie first
The production quality and length of the series is pretty different so going to the movie after might seem something of a drop
Movie first builds on the foundation of the film with a larger world, cast, and lore
You’ll understand what you need to either way, supplementary materials are mostly to help you learn and remember names in my opinion
i'd go movie-series-whatever other media
the movie will leave you wanting more
the lore is great but it's all about the puppets in the end
They'll take a MASSIVE fucking hit when their heavy hitter third party shows go (Friends, The Office) but they're still too big a name to really be "dying". They still have Stranger Things for a mass appeal entertainment juggernaut and they're still without a doubt performing better than Hulu, even with Disneybucks behind that service now. I'd be more concerned about their erratic spending leading them to ruin.
I'd argue they're on a decent (Albeit certainly brief) redemption route
>this show
>the Chappelle special
>Mindhunter's still kino
>ditching Friends and Office for based Seinfeld
Given their track record it certainly won't last but it's nice right now
>all dose puppets
>ALL DAT ESSENCE
>every episode is just 50 minutes of gelfling snuff
Considering how during whatever week that video was talking about Age of Resistance was the third most requested show on the platform and that they'll be losing a lot of third party stuff, maybe they'll be more inclined to hold onto this one
I never though I'd say this about Skeksis, but thats cute
>EVERYTHING HAPPENS TO ME N' NOW I'M SHOT BY A CHILDLING

So what are the odds that we get a season 2?
If Netflix wants their GoT-like to shill for the next few years, this show unironically could be their big ticket (Not saying it'd be AS big, just do well.) It feels like their attempt for that crowd is focused on The Witcher but I honestly foresee that ending up as a disappointment and not really pleasing game fans or the GoT crowd.
This show is clearly capable of impactful drama, twists, and turns, even for an all-ages oriented program. It's got lore, atmosphere, starpower, stellar music, memorable designs. And to top it all off, since it's intended for all ages, it has a potential reach GoT never had into younger audiences. Stranger Things does so well because it has that same wide appeal for young and old audiences. If they play their cards right this show could be a boon for them.
I think odds are pretty good.
MINE
MINE
>skekGra and urGoh don't get reunited in the film
That doesn't mean they don't get reunited at all.
I want to sit on skekSo's lap!
I just want Deet cuddles
EEEEEEEEEHHHHHH
I like this one
now I want to aswell tf
They'll die with the message that they really were reunited all along ;___;
i think they're pretty good. the doc showed some significant enthusiasm from all parties and the show is gonna rake in awards.
plus they have warehouses full of sets and puppets that they don't have to build from scratch the second go around
Me too user
people have made their own before and will make them again
>the show is gonna rake in awards
really? I've never heard of a puppet series winning awards (even tho it should, Pegg should win best actor just for the hmmmmms)
you don't understand. i want to FUCK the skeksis. i want to bury my dick in skeksil's crusty ass, like a sword hilt deep in thick mud, tell him he's a naughty skeksis, and he'll beg for more punishment with his slut singsong voice. i want skekmal to pound my ass like a horny dog, biting and scratching and growling as he breeds my juicy ass all night long. then later we'll switch and he'd ride my dick amazon style while howling and spitting everywhere like a fucked up crackhead. i want to get gang banged silly by each and every skeksis in the palace until i fucking explode from all the cum. i will never know peace until i get my hands on those puppets.
Same desu
I don't think it'll do great at awards season because
>normalfag academy types can't into actual quality
>academy types hate the streaming services
Which is a damn crime because this show absolutely deserves a best vfx award. And as far as I'm concerned, Simon Pegg 100 percent deserves a best supporting actor Emmy for this show.
oh yeah, netflix shows are excluded from being entered into awards for reasons?
More.
Reminder that the Heretic and Wanderer will never become one.
Does Darkened Deet become sexually aggressive?
More you coward
They will be together at life's end
She becomes a Dark Mommydom who makes you worship her like she deserves.
Guy here making a fan sculpt of Deet.
reminder that they fuck
How would the Gremlins do in The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance?
Hot
Not give a fuck about anything and just decimate everything in their path for the hell of it
Did you expect a different answer?
Chamberlain would convince them to do his dirty work, but then it'd backfire and they'd take over the castle.
skekMal would wipe half of them out before they all realised that on a planet with three suns, daytime is even more lethal to Gremlins than on the last world they ran amok on.
Reminder that they can feel eachother's pleasure
The sex must be amazing
>Dark Mommydom Deet will never sit on your face
>Dark Mommydom Deet will never grope you in public to assert her dominance
> ywn have another half made from the same whole you were a part of
> ywn have a slow peaceful partner who understands you on a level only you can understand
> ywn have sex twice as good as with anyone else where you always nut at the same time
why live
That's basically just masturbation
Will Deet fuck Hup or Rian?
>Dark Mommydom Deet will never turn back into regular Deet and survive this series. Guys, I'm gonna be depressed for like a fucking month when she inevitably kicks the bucket. The only mercy I can find is that I don't have to worry about it for a year or so. But after that, it's only pain.
Probably try to hump the gelflings
Great drawing. Nice mix of creepy and cute.
I don't know if this is "right" but I thought it was a cute Brea.
>i want to get gang banged silly by each and every skeksis in the palace
Even Skeklach?
>tfw he never got to mentor Brea and show her his vast collection
It hurts
Why does she have to choose? It is a matriarchy after all.
grottan ladies get two dudes
I can't think of Brea anymore without remembering the sad as fuck comics that vulturefucker did
>the fire
top kek
We’ll always have fanfiction where she can get a happy ending.
Which one?
I think he's talking about the one where Scrollkeeper finds Brea later on during the garthim war and she has a baby, flashing back to the day she was born
What are some things you're hoping for Season 2 anons? Me personally...
>skekMal comes back as a ghost to torment Rian, constantly pushing him into being more brutal, telling him that even death cannot stop the Hunt!
>Hup gets ancient spoon of destruction. Teams up with Lore, replaces Lore's right arm with a spoon.

>Aughra rolling down a hill
>Scientist losing his arm in an argument with another Skeksis
>General of Garthim showing up, taking control of the Garthim and training them. Because without him they are kind of bumbling idiots.
>Emperor withering away more and more. Scientist builds him a wheelchair with two tiny pill bugs for wheels.
>Gurjin being revealed to be Jen or Kira's dad, not Rian.
>Lesbian Gelflings
>more of that one guy who's name I forget.
>>Emperor withering away more and more. Scientist builds him a wheelchair with two tiny pill bugs for wheels.
Except he uninstalls the armaligs and puts a bridle on skeketek and forces him to pull him around
>more of that one guy who's name I forget.
I love that guy
Correct
Also the one with Scrollkeeper holding an essence vial with presumably Brea within, looking upon it with only regret and a memory that could have been.
Fuck dude, I usually loathe ooc fanfics (ESPECIALLY about figures as irredeemable as the Skeksis) but those made me feel some absolute feels I haven't felt in a while.
more dark side Seladon
Gelflings who voluntarily join the ascendancy
more Aughra singing and dancing
more opera and the sacred art of puppetry
Kinky
we won't be getting a s2 tho
Pls stop bullying skekTek!
If a s2 has the 5 missing Skeksis, I'm set.
>Gurjin being revealed to be Jen or Kira's dad, not Rian.
As absolutely based as that would be, I think the Stone-In-Wood seal on Jen's shirt kinda renders that impossible. They literally designed an entire clan's seal based off a random-ass pattern thing on Jen's shirt, I think he's definitely Stonewood.
They need to give him an iron spork and nothing could stop this podling god.
>Lesbian gelflings
I hate how this is the expected norm when it comes to Netflix. I get it, the LGBT need representation but this just comes off more a cruel marketing ploy then actually trying to help the community. If Netflix really cared. then why don't they make a story where the main characters are gay from the beginning and have feelings for each other rather than waiting a season or 2 and then dropping the big gay?
Apparently Onica and Tavra were a thing in the books. It was alluded to in the show too. Maybe it can be shown via flashback or something. I suspect Tavra is still alive in the Ascendancy too.
Tavra and Brea are gay in the books I've heard.
STOP HAUNTING ME
WHY DOES user HURT ME SO
Yeah did you notice Deet's parents?
Oh sorry, ONICA and Tavra.
says YOU
So do we have a gauge on how many people have watched it
I'm trying not to get my hopes for any one thing up, but I really suspect half the plot lines not used from the books will show up.
Apparently there was a bit quest for a flute that went sideways that created a new flute that did some magic shit or something to carve the prophecy relief into the Stone in the Wood main building like we see in the film. Sounds like it was so much like the Glaive they decided to hold off. Also save money on sets maybe?
Because I'm hurt too
Online interest metrics are pretty good, it greatly outperformed Carnival Row which came out the same weekend, had more explicit starpower in its marketing, and (Most importantly) had marketing at all. Basically, the word of mouth for this show seems to be doing really well so far even without "big time" YT reviewers singing its praises for autists to follow suit.
There's also the fact it came out to outstanding universal acclaim, which matters to Netflix more than you might think given their usual output.
If they include skekSa's living ship, I'll be overjoyed.
Walking through passageways of squishy flesh. Furniture and lights jammed into the meat.
Post yfw it gets revealed this is an alternative time line and Deet has an actual chance to live.
They also have a lot of star power, not just with the voice actors but with Jim Henson himself. Everyone at least knows one of his things. Even people who just know him for sesame street would likely see "a mature show by [the sesame street guy]" and want to see it out of curiosity.
>no scene of Gurjin being saved
>no scene of Tavra being caught
Did they run out of money?
Gurjin could've just shacked up with some random stone in wood chick. I imagine mixed kids would favor the mother's clan in their society
Who the fuck is onica again?
Maybe
In all fairness, both those surprise reveals were great. Gurjin coming out of fucking nowhere like the absolute chad he is to rescue his bro and Tavra menacingly creeping toward the Stone-In-Woods to reveal that I'M ACTUALLY COVERED HEAD TO TOE IN FUCKING MIND CONTROL SPIDERS GAZE AND DESPAIR. So I'll allow it.
the last remnants of the pretense that the novels tell a parallel story.
They altered so much of the book material that they should have just went ahead and filmed their own versions of those scenes, since the book equivalent moments have no place in the AoR narrative.
The reveals were too badass to not have been intentional surprises
Sounds like something out of Farscape. I love it.
Ritual Master can't take him anywhere, I swear...
What would this show have been like if Brian was in charge of handling it instead of Lisa?
Wasn’t the Happytime murders pretty bad?
>Fat Gelfling played by Melissa McCarthy, constant jokes about modern time stuff that is really out of place.
>There would be a pot joke with the Stonewood Clan, Stoned in the Wood Clan.
>The three dick pissing scene would've gone on way longer, probably would've ended with some poor Podling getting pissed on.
>Much, MUCH more cursing.
Yeah, although in all fairness he never wrote it and it was at least great on a technical level.
Dude also directed Muppet Christmas Carol and Treasure Island and Farscape: Peacekeeper Wars.
I ask because usually Brian's the more well-known of the Henson siblings and I wonder how he'd handle it.
Yeah, Seladon would absolutely be a daddyfag.
The first two seem like shots at how shite Happytime was, but the last two seem really plausible actually. He'd definitely try to make it more cringily edgy than it should be.
>dat Seladon
The juuuuuuuust right amount of thicc. I like you user.
>mama saurus
Explain
Fuck if I know. Ask the artist.
I know it would have been ludicrous but I really do wish instead of throwing himself off a cliff he'd made some LEGENDARY trickshot and sniped Hunter from across the world
I'm pretty sure their bug carriage was alive or at least the shell of something that was alive.
I was completely expecting that to be what he was gonna do. I mean his name is Archer, I wanna see some legendary archery
Heart strings aside I wish there was a thicker boarder line so that we know what is a flashback and what isn't in this comic.
>When Gelfling are drained they don't return to Thra and just get obliterated
Jesus Christ that's dark and the Skeksis get away with it.
I don't know why she looks sad, the darkening makes you look cool!
You can't be sad if you look cool!
All the panels were posted seperately on twitter, and I hastily saved and pasted them together on my phone. You're welcome to edit it and make it more clear.
I think its Sarus like dinosaurs, ex "Tyrannosaurus", so the Skeksis is a "Mamasaurus"
I like to think it was just delayed until the various skeks died or were reformed
Arguably would have been a better sendoff, for being an Archer the dude didn't do much arching. Maybe do
>do the same speech
>thwack arrow into air
>"Now we shall see what lies at the dream's end"
>impact of arrow kills Mal and knocks Archer off the cliff
Some user here had a theory that when the reunification happened, it expelled all the essence from the Skeksis part of the UrSkeks and returned it to Thra. That's why the podling slaves turn normal again after the Crystal's healed, they got their essence back.
we get that nigga
why MAMA though. skekso holds to masculine
>spoon breaks
>needs a weapon
>uses another spoon
Just finished this ep. hope Hup just keeps upgrading to better spoons.
That's good evidence for that headcanon, I'll use it. Thanks.
You're overthinking a joke
Purplish panels are present time, warmer toned panels are flashbacks
Also in the movie the Skeksis don't seem to recognize Aughra.
I wouldn't mind if it got retconned.
She knows they split, but didn't know they'd been effing with the crystal?
>that was weird, you split into two species
>uh...ignore that, it happens all the time
>oh, okay, back to sleep I go, have fun with the crystal
Oh look another nice thing I can't have.
Probably gay too.
It's okay user, I'll post pics of mine here
why do we keep going over this. what makes it seem like they don't know who aughra is?
They're all gay, so that can't be used against him.
However, he is a weak, defenseless bottom that is freely used by all.
>both my boys die in the movie
You don't know pain.
>"HmmMmm, Chamberlain so sad for draining friend Gelflings"
>"Chamberlain return friend gelflings to Thra!"
>*Lets out a long wet loud fart*
>"Now gelflings is in air of Thra, yes?!"
>>Emperor withering away more and more. Scientist builds him a wheelchair with two tiny pill bugs for wheels.
YES.
>Except he uninstalls the armaligs and puts a bridle on skeketek and forces him to pull him around
YEEEEEEEEES
Gurjin's still got the spiderpuss though
I kinda liked The Happytime Murders. It was edgy fun.
Now kiss, yes? Please, PLEASE? PLEASE MAKE KISS?
I liked that the guards as an integrated force seemed to not really give a shit about the clan divides
Thanks user! I'm glad you nabbed one at least.
Experimenting with Crystal was probably more or less okay
It was only after they’d drained too much energy and created the Darkening that shit needed intervention
archer kinda implies that him and hunter were one in the after life
They begin bullying and killing podlings for the lulz while going "ehehehehehe" until Hup becomes the gremlin slayer and spoons them all to death.
Yeah I always thought uniting happened at death anyway. You're still dead, so it sucks, but at least they're not apart forever.
lads,deet's vision seems abit off
>her on the throne
>brea holding a baby
>the gelfing in the vision looks more like rian yet it looks like he inserts the shard into the dark crystal
It was a guess
a dream
Only those at the dream’s end know for sure
Plenty of possibilities for literal and symbolic explanations for those
>her on the throne
Doubtful she actually willingly helps the Skeksis, probably more symbolic of her fucking Thra up if anything (Accidentally or otherwise.)
>brea holding a baby
Some think she may be Kira's mom in the film, the one who gets nabbed by Garthim soon after putting her near a tree to keep her safe. Note that a Garthim appears REALLY close to that moment in the vision.
>the gelfing in the vision looks more like rian yet it looks like he inserts the shard into the dark crystal
2 possibilities
A. It's Rian putting the crystal shard into the crystal too early before the great conjunction.
B. It's a remade Jen puppet showing what happens in the film. Note that the puppet in the vision also does the same kind of AAAAAAAAA that Jen did before he put in the shard.
>That's why the podling slaves turn normal again after the Crystal's healed, they got their essence back.
Oh shit that's right, they do go back to normal. Yeah, I'd be willing to believe that, especially since so much else on Thra was restored.
>Deet on a throne
AND YOU CAN HAVE IT ALL
MY EMPIRE OF DARKening
Any thoughts on Ordon? SUMMON THE ELECTOR MAUDRAS! BY THRA, NO! THIS ACTION DOES NOT HAVE MY CONSENT?
>Did nothing wrong
He's the first Skeksis to drain someone
I wonder if Heretic would go back to being a normal Skeksis again if someone pulled that nail out.
Skekung being a literal terminator
The Mystics are for the most part are incapable of having agency, they literally don’t have a will like the Skeksis don’t so in general they’re incredibly passive and yeah Jens a bit of a no personality but from his POV he’s a fish out of water who was raised by the most passive and docile race on the planet
He's technically got both assets
uhh...no
So if the hunter survived the sarlaac pit does that mean Rian's dad did too?
sigh source
No
>dad gets away by cutting off one of his limbs
Unlikely but that would be pretty fucking metal.
Gratzie
I always imagined they would be a horizontal arrangement, like those pirate guns.
have some awful OC. Just for you. yes you!
But that means he, as a skeksis, will die. By separating out individual aspects of each urskek, the urru and skeksis are completely unique people from their urskek counterpart. By reforming into a single being, both the urru and skeksis are in effect destroyed and turned into a completely new person because recombining these aspects creates a new personality with motivations and perspective unique to that of the separated halves.
Teach me podling language please
For me? Thank you for thinking of me, user, you're so nice.
I am so glad The Drawfag Delivered despite the Distratcions..
God Bless him
I love Deet so much
How did they make a puppet so endearing
I don't know about you user, but my face would definitely look like this
Bonus Points for aerial Bombardment, Poor cute little puppet animals on fire and on-screen deaths
Additional Bonus Points for making Armenian Genocide look like Holocaust in comparision
God that would give me such a massive erection seeing the puppets in PURE FUCKING TERROR AS THEY ARE BEING SLAUGHTERED (almost) TO THE LAST
but let's be honest They won't go full Ow the Edgehog on us most likely
?
So how are Gelflings able to parry blows from Skeksis when the Grunaks were overpowered by SkekTek?
It took me a while to figure out what you were talking about.
I imagine it's due to formal martial training.
I like it. I read it in his voice.
I remember reading somewhere that Podling was like pidgin Serbian or something.
youtu.be
REMOVE SKEKSIS
PODLING STRONG
Rest in peace original Serbia Strong video
How accurate is this to the movie?
youtube.com
Completely wrong, skekSil owns a Glock 19, not an Uzi 9mm.
The general didin't drink any essence so he was incredibly weak
What's the HYPEST FUCKING BATTLE this season, and why is it Hunter vs Archer?
But the final battle is a fucking masterpiece tho, genuine insanity
The Archer became the arrow. The Hunter became the prey.
>Battle
He shot him twice and then the Hunter ran away
would you?
HYPE AS FUCK
I liked Rian's carriage escape a lot
Yeah, that was pretty good.
The duel glave also "sucked" the essence out of the skeksis it stabbed, so maybe the skeksis don't "digest" the essence they drink, and it just stays within them indefinitely until released.
>It's like kissing a peanut!
I laughed, good job.
That’s a very interesting point that I’d meant to bring up abou the Crystal piece being inside the sword having that effect
Gremlins did nothing wrong
Deetlet this
These are insanely depressing...
... MORE!!!
Hot glue when?
Fucking metal
>Skekputz the circumciser
They should have made the show as a reboot of the series instead of being a prequel
Great work!
>dat Seladon
Yes.
How is Skektek going to make more than one Garthim if they are grafts of Gruenaks and Arathim bodies? All Gruenaks are extinct and Arathim are hard to catch.
Cloning Vats.
Or.
Since they're based off "Memories of Aquatic Creatures from their home world"
Crab Sex.
Crab Centaur Sex.
He might substitute some other material. There isn't anything special about the Gruenaks that made them work as Garthim material, they were just the most convenient resource at the time.
Clean y'self up and get out.
Tribute's due on the 1st.
No discount for swallowing.
Sadly it turns out Deet lost because Yea Forums has shit taste against Gwen Tennyson, but hey, at least she was able to participate. And she's still one of the most amazing girls in my heart.
>There isn't anything special about the Gruenaks that made them work as Garthim material, they were just the most convenient resource at the time.
I kinda got the impression he used them specifically because they were strong, like the Chamberlain said. Just before, he was bemoaning the fact that the base Arathim's connective tissues weren't up to snuff.
The fact that he ends up dealing with things on the cellular level makes me think he eventually scrapped the idea of merely grafting things, Frankenstein-style, and made a whole-body cellular chimera with biomatter derived from both Arathim and Gruenak instead, force-grown via the energies you can see him sapping from the crystal. I was thinking he'd probably grow clones from biopsy samples.
I think the real question is how we get from the blue-eyed bio-Garthim at the end of season 1 to the hollow purple-eyed golem-things that bleed smoke from the movie.
such vigor!
Seladon's succ game is probably out of this world.
We had no chance, what a bunch of shite. At least WE'LL always know she's the greatest and that's all that matters. Stay strong fellow Deetfriends.
But we can NOT let this happen again.
Guys, we all need to rally behind Chamberlain, Hup, and Gurjin HARD for Mr. Co. If we could not btfo these spitheads a first time, we'll come back with a vengeance.
Chamberlain totally rigged it
We fought for her, that's what matters. She knows we did our best.
Stop, stop, my penis can only get so erect!
Really nice work. Is there gonna be more? is it gonna be lewder?
Not mine, it's from the /aco/ thread.
Poor baby.
We must move on from this loss
The future is Chamberlain, Hup, and Gurjin
Do not fail them, they are good boys
A humble reminder that Deet is a clown.
That’ll be their key flaw and SkekSo will use pure magic to animate the rest
>face covered in white makeup
user confirmed blind
That or we could just nominate Bobbin!
Let’s not and never again consider that
Who?
So rian gave him a good succ
Imagine the Skeksis singing some Disney villain esque song together
Deet lost because she is of age and was matched against a 10 year old, so she was up against the pedo votes
Brb registering like 100 gmails
I'd love that.
I also hope we get more Skeksis bird-dancing in season 2. That fucking pidgeon-twirl that SkekSo does in that gif is so great. Whee.
I'm amazed the skeksis put up with chamberlain for so long. hmmmMMMMmmmm has to get annoying after two hundred trine.
Here's another one I found
I was absolutely convinced Gurjin was gonna kick the bucket when he drank that grog while singing
Never did I ever experience such insanely high "dead in the first episode" energy before
Thankfully our boy made it through
Remember when you were watching the first episode and suddenly felt the urge to projectile vomit all over your screen? Well that was Bobbin, Deet's little brother.
cringe
Fucking kek
why did they make them cute
They didn't, you just want to fuck elderly vultures.
Gurjin was one of the better characters. I think he was supposed to die until the writers decided he was too not-the-chosen-one to just go away. He’s a really good straight man.
They didn't. You just want rotting vulture dick. So do I.
I was thinking, I'd love it if they did something at the end of AoR like the signoff show they did for Fraggle Rock. If you're not aware, they made an entire special just for the cast and crew where the Fraggles were pictured as actors, talking about how they felt about the show and what they were going to do now it was over. It was never widely released, but it can be found on Youtube:
youtube.com
Warning: baffling in-jokes.
Just imagine... skekSo going on a tirade about how he had to spend three hours in the makeup chair every morning during shooting just to get as old and decrepit as he looks on camera, skekAyuk talking about how the catering on set was abysmal, Gurjin talking about overcoming his own introverted nature for the hugging scenes, Hup talking about how he's the first podling to be given a main role in a series and how he wants to be a role model for podlings everywhere, and Deet talking about how she'd luncheon with the Jack Hanna...
I want elderly vultures to fuck me.
What the fuck is her wearing on his head? is this a level of /fa/ I just don't understand?
That'd be adorable, hilarious, and pure Hensonkino. Unfortunately, this show's played too straight to try something like that as a main episode.
However, I could see it being a bonus feature or promo they put up on YouTube. If that's the case, I'll take it anyway.
>However, I could see it being a bonus feature or promo they put up on YouTube. If that's the case, I'll take it anyway.
Yeah, that's what it was for Fraggle Rock (it was so bonus it was originally only just for the cast and crew to watch at the wrap party) and that's what I was suggesting.
It'd make a great extra feature on Netflix, too, like the Making Of feature they've got on there right now.
>"Gas 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 personally 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."
He IS the brains behind everything. He’s the one who actually says “hey, let’s not just drink all the gelflings at once. We should ration them out so we don’t run out”. His only problem is he uses his talk-no-jutsu too much, and once people realize that, the whole technique becomes really obvious. Also he goes back on his word, so once you realize he’s a liar that’s even more of a reason to not listen to anything he says.
Some of his speech in the later episodes kinda sounds like coherent English. His screen time also drastically decreases in the later half of the season, but don't worry, he's fine.
Dressing gowns. They're just super extra.
Skeksil best husbando
IS THAT A PENIS
Someone figured out that it was his big toe in the foreground.
It's his foot. If you want skeksis dick, go to the archived /trash/ thread
Link?
Cute!
See
Finally! I was waiting for this.
hup wouldn't call deet a twit
also hup doesn't know she's been darkened. fuckin tragic
Sadly, no.
Change Deet for Gurjin_the_Based and it's going to be perfect
K thanks
They used a horn to summon the hunter, I hope they use a signal fire to summon the mariner.
Despite the fact that she lost the tournament, Deet is more concerned with how you feel.
I need Deet cuddles and kisses. She’s so blessed
That's kawaii as fuck nigga
Gurjin has EVERY red flag
>third wheel best friend
>bit of a goof
>gets left behind by Rian and Mira
But he lives
But THEN he gets caught so Rian could escape so you’re sure he’s a goner. That he’d be drained or killed some other way
Or that his sister would die trying to get him out or he’d finally bite it when she and him save Rian
But no, that swamp chad makes it to the end and smashes spider pussy like a champ
That’s cute. Did you draw this?
In what episode did the Emperor show his fucked up meth face?
She’s going to vaporize him and not even remember
Yeah, I've drawn a few pics of Deet for these threads.
I want to say 6, but maybe it was 8?
You mean when he showed skekVar fucked up beak at the Darkening pit? I don’t recall the number but the one where they make the deal with the arathim to catch gelfling
The fanart that comes from this is the real victory.
based deet.
>tfw will never put SkekTek in a little cage and pet his head and tell him 'all is well'
Hold on to that when he gets ripped to shreds by Skeksis talons in season 2.
I like the skeksis as well
Reminder, SkekTek is going to kill the bird in a bully-induced rage-fit next season.
Blessed image
Based and justistapilled
Our drawfriends have been on a fucking roll, thanks for all your work!
plz stop
After a particularly stressful event he’s going to pet the critter just a little wrong and have it bite him
Then he flies into a murderous rage and squeeze it to death like the Emperor almost did
those huge bulgy eyes the puppet has are going to pop right out of its skull
>Realises what he's done
>Finally snaps and becomes Punished Scientist, other Skeksis start to get freaked out and stop bullying him
Fat chance nerd, get back in the lab and MAKE MORE ESSENCE!
No, I don't think I will
In fact, I've been itching to show you my latest invention, I call it The Panzerbüchse 39 Anti-Tank Rifle, would you like to get a demonstration of it right now?
Don't hurt me
Does this shot turn up in the show at all, or was it just a test shot that was used in the promo?
The carapace looks different.
hmmmmm go on
Maybe it's when he goes back to the lab after the Emperor told him to stay inside like a little bitch
He looks armored
Could be, anyone want to post a snap from that scene?
It's when skekTek says his eyesight has never been better, it takes place shortly after the peeper beetle scene. I think it's also the same scene Chamberlain shows off the Gruenaks to him to get on his good side after the beetle iirc.
Shouldn't he be wearing his bone carapace in that scene?
Now I'm getting a mental image of a Skeksis' wardrobe, with an entire wall of carapace pieces.
WOULD I!!
>straps podling to chair
>"Just wanted to let you know it's nothing personal kid, it's just a state's rights issue."
No, it's from the proof-of-concept film where they tried doing puppet Skeksis and CG Gelfling. There's clips of it in the documentary.
NO SKEKTEK
DON'T GIVE THE CHAMBERLAIN ANY MORE WEAPONS
SMALL ARMS ARE BAD ENOUGH, IMAGINE WHAT HE'D DO WITH A PB39
You'd think skekTek would build him a better hand
>implying he doesn't start making shitty parts for the other Skeksis out of spite
After all he's been through? No way
You know, all this talk of cybernetic enhancement makes me wonder why skekTek didn't just invent big robot bodies for their brains to go into when mortality started becoming an issue.
Hear me out, he could just pull a C'tan and reduce all other Skeksis to little more than mindless automatons running on preprogrammed code while he remains the only one with true agency. That takes care of both the mortality and bullying problems. Hell, he could even make his pets nigh-invulnerable if he wished.
Oh, he turned his back on everything because he felt like he needed the other vultures. Right. Crap.
>Oh, he turned his back on everything because he felt like he needed the other vultures. Right. Crap.
Pretty much this. As much as he dislikes the other skeksis dumping on him, he seems the type that is very afraid of being truly alone
He truly is the most miserable creature on Thra
It seems like all Skeksis are like that. They main each other with glee but they genuinely freaked out when one of them actually died.
It makes sense, there's only a few of them and imagine having to spend hundreds of years with just Gelflings and Podlings and nobody who understands your sweet banter. They need each other around.
*Maim. They maim each other.
Fuck I am drunk,
And that's what makes the Chamberlain a freak, he kills Skeksis without even thinking about it
Given that all Skeksis are pretty much guiltless shameless psychos, what does that make him? The Ultrapsychopath?
WHERE CAN I DOWNLOAD THE DOCUMENTARY
>SkekTek canonically yearns for companionship
Wtf bros I'm not supposed to feel bad for the skeksis. I just wanna hug him now.
Yeah they all hated each other but straight up killing each other was something else but Chamberlain being the only cold calculating one didn’t give a shit
just watch it on netflix with the show
GOTTA GET DEM VIEWS FOR SEASON TWO TO HAPPEN!
Remember, he dies
They're sociopaths (low empathy), with an in-group and an out-group and some ability to feel regret, he's a psychopath with no remorse, no guilt, and no empathy whatsoever.
Oh no, he thought about it. For days upon days he thought about the time to come when he'd finally shank SkekVar
Absolutely ultra. When he sees the wounded SkekVar in that alleyway and goes "there you are" you know shit's gonna be bad for the general
DON'T REMIND ME
I don't have Netflix and the doc is the only thing on it I want to see :(
If it makes you feel better, he deserved it
BASED
SKEKSIS DESERVED TO BE DABBED ON
ESPECIALLY STUPID FUCKING NERDS
And not just dies - has all of his animal companions turn on him, start tearing him to shreds, and finally pushing him into a lava pit.
>skeksis banter
aaaaa someone plz upload the scene on youtube
They weren't his companions, probably after the death of the little bird thing he just snapped and stopped caring for anything, leading him to abuse the rest of his animals
I unironically find Jen more interesting than Rhian
No, she becomes Deet but with herpes.
>Skeksis babies.
How does that work? Does one mystic just spontaneously fart out a baby too?
Thanks, that's an accurate description yeah.
Me too user. I always liked Jen.
>Remember Seladon with great power comes great responsibility. The Emperor calls it the Skeksis's Burden. Myself, I call it what it is: the duty of the master to discipline the servant.
>Chamberlain looks directly at camera
>"The gelflings, the pods, the gruenaks...it's our responsibility to civilize them, yeeeesss? The Day Of The Darkening is Near, princess. We'll have every gelfling drained or in chains in 10 trines and may Thra have me exiled through losing a Trial By Stone if I'm wrong. Thra bless the Skeksis Nazi Party, and Thra bless President Donald J. Trump hmmmmmmm.
Fucking kek
Yes
In terms of judging things on the metric of being "badass" or some shit, Jen falls pretty low. But honestly I think that kinda makes him a compelling person to follow. He's literally just a dumb ol kid who lived with apathetic boomers all his life and never really ventured beyond the comforts of his own home. Of course he acts the way he does and of course Kira ends up being more competent than him. But I think that's the point. Instead of making a protag that's super brave and capable, Jen's basically a window into what you'd actually be like thrust into the world of Thra: probably pathetic with no lay of the land or real combat ability. It seperates him from more traditional heroes in fantasy tales and it makes me appreciate his dopey charm.
Basically, I think Jen is a pretty cool guy. Eh merges UrSkeks and afraid of everything.
Man I wish there was more Seladon content, she got my dick so hard with her Blind adoration of the Skeksis and how she was stripped and humiliated by her objects of blind adoration, Someone should make a comic of her extensive humiliation, with Stripping and some torture and more bruises, that’s what she should get
It doesn’t even have to involve rape, even some Ryona would suffice
Is there any T-Pose to establish dominance pics with the skeks? I feel like skektek bullying is prime material for it
>mfw "Uhh..... no"
Couldn't help but laugh during that entire scene
>No way, fag
So this pairing is really taking off. God bless you internet, for going for the most fucked up thing first.
Exactly this. I like how Jen just sortof bumbles around for the first half of the film. He falls in mud at some point, that was funny. It's an original take on the 'hero' trope.
Goddamn. Nicely done.
I guess he wasn’t as much of a hero but more of a point of view character,
Kinda in the same vein as Rip van Winkle, he doesn’t do much but he’s still a main character and serves as as a scale of comparision to everything else
there's more fucking cloth than gelfling or skeksis in this pic
She was there to see them split and break the crystal.
After the initial chaos of the split, the Skeksis came out and tried to be benevolent lords that helped the smaller and weaker races of Thra.
She wasn't expecting them to fuck with it while she traveled the stars.
did Seladon draw dis?
It's definitely got a Late-90s-Early-00s CLAMP energy to it. Is The Darkening just an allegory for fujobucks? Because that makes too much sense, anons
You just know she has a tumblr full of self-insert smut.
Someone make a SKEKISED edit with Seladon and the lords.
Fujobucks are extremely powerful...
Who's the artist?
See
Based. Thra bless (you) both my children.
I hope she does
Saved
Need a Deet version of this
Forgot about SkeTek losing the arm and leg.
Man, it sucks to think there's a Mystic counterpart out there who just randomly over the course of 50 years has one of their their eyes suddenly torn from their skull, an arm burst at the seams, a leg explode at the knee, etc.
>the gang continuously busts Seladon out of the Crystal Castle because she always """accidentally""" gets captured by Garthim
I fucked up. It's actually this person.
Being a Mystic is also suffering.
Fucked up pairings are interesting. Boring shit like Rian/Deet are not.
Wait, does his costume have fucking hands tied on?
They wouldn't be his secondary arms
I think the artist fucked up there.
Tomura Skekaraki
true dat
I don't think anyone actually wants to ship Deet, they just want her for themselves. Probably why Deet/Hup is bigger than canon since people can self insert.
Seladon/So on the other hand has quite a lot of interesting potential scenarios to draw or write.
Fucking a Gelfling for a Skeksis is probably a bit like fucking a dog to us - they are lower lifeforms. Unless you're on /soc/ or reviewing movies on youtube, fucking dogs is just not done.
>reviewing movies on youtube
There's a story behind this, isn't there?
I think he just means a lot of youtube reviewers are furries
welp shit, there goes that ship
Coward
No I meant that Adam from Youmoviesucksdotorg has defended fucking dogs. And now he's a good meme.
Ship to your heart's content, but it will never be canon. Alas.
He's Canadian, isn't he? Makes sense.
New bread?
Why is it that all fan art of gelflings looks weird?
Yesss.
Most look fine to me, I kinda like how everyone has their own take on their design.
Because gelflings look weird.
>Deet
>White
motherfucker she's green go to a rimworld and harvest a prisoners eyes and replace yours, because you are more blind than adorabat
Deet barely looks white.
NEW BREAD
>mistakes into mmmmmmmmiracles
>i'm just sorry it wasn't enough
