Last year, I did some fluff for @stonegrotweek … Now, time for sadness! We all know how things will end for our beloved Gelfling friends…
“Two attempts to save the Crystal. One too soon, a life lost in both.”
I always thought that if season two happens in a way or another, Rian would not witness someone he loves dying…again! It would be his turn to lose his life saving a loved one and of course, it would be for his precious Deet. In her vision, we can see Rian trying to restore the Crystal but it doesn’t work. Certainly because it’s not the Great Conjunction yet? In my theory, that attempt makes the Crystal save Deet from the Darkening consuming her, but Rian is very soon circled by the Skeksis and Deet can’t save him…
…Like what happens to Jen and Kira in the end of the movie. Their existence parallels Rian, Deet and the rest of the resistance. Jen is maybe a Stonegrot son, or Kira, but one thing is for sure: they are the hope that couldn’t exist without them, without their love for each other and for Thra. A love that ended up saving the Gelfling race.
Hello friends, just a reminder that we will be reblogging any Stonegrot Week posts until October 3rd. We know creativity takes some time and we’re always excited for content.
the themes for Stonegrot Week (Year 3!) were:
September 20th — Day One: Kiss The Girl. Rian initiates a kiss with Deet. It could be their first kiss or their millionth, it’s up to you.
September 21st— Day Two: Afternoon Delight. Rian and Deet share a perfect afternoon together.
September 22nd— Day Three: The Night Before. Something special takes place one night between Rian and Deet. It could be a conversation or maybe an intimate moment. The plot is up to you.
September 23rd— Day Four: The Morning After. A follow up to Day Three’s events. What happens between Rian and Deet after The Night Before? *If you didn’t participate in Day Three, that’s okay, create something you believe would take place between Rian and Deet spending a morning together. The plot is up to you.
September 24th— Day Five: Yesterday’s Feeling. This could be a follow up to Day Four’s events, or a headcanon during an Age of Resistance episode. What were Rian and Deet feeling for one another? The plot is up to you.
September 25th— Day Six: Tomorrow’s Promise. Rian and Deet make a promise to each other. Maybe about their future together? maybe about loving and protecting each other against the Skeksis? What will it be?
September 26th— Day Seven: The Future. Create a headcanon for what you think Rian and Deet’s future looks like.
Make sure you include the tags #Stonegrot and either #Stonegrot Week #StonegrotWeekand#Day (x). You can also add @stonegrotweek to your post(s) so we can see and reblog.
The last day of stonegrot week is today and I’m sad. This is a no garthim wars AU, where the gelfling didn’t die and everyone lived happily ever after.
In this timeline Rian and Deet end up having four kids, two girls and two boys their names go from right to left:
Ordon, their third child who is two trine old in this picture.
Jen, the oldest and is around 12 trine old in this picture.
Aya, their second child and is 10 trine old in this picture.
And finally Hope, the youngest and she is around 7 unums old in this picture.
I had a whole lot of fun with stonegrot week and can’t wait for the next stonegrot week! Happy shipping
It’s officially Day 7ofStonegrot Week! Today’s theme is ‘The Future’. We’re looking forward to seeing your submissions!
It is the last day of Stonegrot Week (Year 3!) and we’ve had such a wonderful time seeing all the phenomenal creations from The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance fandom. Thank you to everyone who participated, whether you have created a piece for the week or if you’ve been supporting the fans by reblogging/liking their posts. It means a lot to us and to The Dark Crystal fandom as a whole that we still care so deeply about these characters and its fictional universe. The celebration still continues as we will still be accepting late submissions after today until next week, October 3rd. Be sure to continue following this page… there may be a Stonegrot Week (Year 4!) in the future.
For a little context: this is during the garthim wars, and I imagine that there will be a point where the remaining gelfling are hiding in some sort of safe zone, and every unum or so they have to send out a group of gelfling to leave the safe zone to get food, supplies etc. However, the garthim swarms are getting more and more frequent, and it gets more dangerous to leave the safe zone.
This comic takes place during their second or third exposition outside the safe zone, and after an incident Deet starts worrying for Rian’s safety. Rian promises to return to Deet and their future childling every time he leaves.
Sorry if this is a little angsty, I post something really cute tomorrow to make up for it. :)
The day Jen learned to crawl was the day Rian and Deet lost him, so over the trine, they’ll often dreamfast that last happy memory of their son, promising each other that they’ll be reunited one day.
I promise that everything will be alright but you need to let me help you.
I went with an angsty turn :”)
We all know how TDC ended and I always imagined that Deet left in order to keep others safe even if she was miserable, but of course her friends,family and Rian would have not allowed it. It probably took more than one time but I imagine that Rian would keep promising her that everything would be alright, that she could be healed, that she is not a treat to the gelfling,etc. She kept her distance but eventually let herself be helped… or at least that’s what we hope for.
This one is really up to interpretation but I find it bittersweet in a good way. Deet was suffering but Rian’s promises were probably one of the few things that gave her hope. Even if she didn’t say it out loud.
Just a reminder that it is acceptable to participate in a theme for Stonegrot Week a few days after the specific date has passed. Late submissions are acceptable. We understand creativity takes time. Throughout this entire week will be sharing the tagged submitted work. If you came up with something for Day 1’s theme when it’s Day 6, we would still be delighted to reblog it! We just don’t want any work released prior to the scheduled theme i.e. we don’t want to see work for Day 7 when it’s only Day 3. We want to be surprised. Submitting a piece of work for only one of the Stonegrot Week days is acceptable as well. You are not required to participate in all 7 days. Thank you! Happy shipping.
