Tbh I have a lot of Thra animals that I like, but these are my top favorites. I loved fizzgigs since the first time I watched the movie so they will hold a special place in my heart.
Terberfrocs just looked so cute and I’m glad we got to look at one for a few seconds in the original film. Just look At THEM!!
And Lunarkins are just adorable to me, they’re little floating orbs and I would keep one if they didn’t die once captured.
I’m really excited for this week and to celebrate the beauty that is The Dark Crystal and Thra.
In honor of The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance’s Second Anniversary, we are working in a Great Conjunction (*wink*) with @thra-athon to sponsor a celebratory event for this wonderful fandom.
Starting Monday, August 30, and ending Sunday, September, 5, 2021, Create for Thra is designed to be a celebration and fun experience for fans to submit artwork, fanfiction, and all manner of creation related to the world of Thra and the week’s themes! You can focus on one character/ships, or you can use the full cast of characters. We are so excited to see what you create!
Here are the themes for the week:
August 30 — Day One: Creature Feature - Draw or write a story about your favorite Thra-creature, or post artwork of your own Thra-Creature Creation.
August 31 — Day Two: Original Characters - Introduce us to your original character within the world of Thra. Words, images, sculptures, dolls, puppets… the world of Thra is, as they say, your… gobble? Hm…
September 1 — Day Three: Where in the World? / Home Is Where the Heart Is - Show us your favorite locale on Thra with art or words, or create something about your favorite character in the little piece of Thra they call home.
September 2 — Day Four: Scene Work - Draw/write an interpretation of your favorite scene, or create your own deleted scene from the show. What occurred offscreen that you would have liked to see? What would your favorite scene have looked like from a different character’s eyes?
September 3 — Day Five: What Was Sundered and Undone - The Division of the UrSkeks… the splitting of the Seven Clans… the cracking of the Crystal of Truth. Many things on Thra have been torn apart. Create a piece about this topic.
September 4 — Day Six: “There are many paths laid before us, some good, most bad.” - Create a story or drawing about the differing paths Aughra sees. Brea tells her mother to imagine the possibilities - what can you imagine?
September 5 — Day Seven: A Great Conjunction - “Alright, together then!” From the reunification of the Skeksis and Mystics and the Gelfling fires of resistance, the alliance of the Arathim and the Gelfling, to our favorite Podling Paladin, unity is an important concept during the Age of Resistance. Make a creation about embracing unity instead of continuing division!
It isn’t required to participate for the entire week. If you’d just like to submit a piece of work for only one of the theme days, that’s completely fine! Please be sure that any work submitted is new content.
Rules:
1) Tag your work properly so that any parties who are either a) too young for certain subject matter, or b) concerned about potentially unsavory subject matter, may make informed decisions about what works they do and do not want to engage with.
2) Character-hate and ship-hate is not allowed or welcome. Any fan of this fandom is welcome to participate. Don’t like it? Don’t read/view it, and don’t comment a bunch of hate on it. End. Of. Story. You will be blocked if you engage in that type of behavior.
3) HAVE FUN AND SUPPORT ONE ANOTHER!
We encourage you to leave the artist/author/creator a comment if you enjoyed the creation - it doesn’t have to be something long or detailed. Something as simple as “really enjoyed reading/viewing this” will make the creator’s day a bit brighter.
Be sure to hashtag #CreateforThra so we can see it and reblog your creations!
Remember - all characters are welcome! Skeksis, Mystics, Gelfling, Podlings, pluff’ms, and everything in between.
Looking forward to seeing your creations beginning Monday, August 30.
School just started a couple days ago, and getting back to in-person classes after a year of being remote stressfull as HELL.
So here are some modern au/high school au skeksis that I drew during a homework break!
I had a whole lot of fun drawing these guys, especially Ekt, Mal and Sa. I couldn’t add as much detail as I wanted since these were just head shots, but I did what I could lol. So obviously Skekso would be the principal, and skeksil would be the Vice Principal, and skektek is the science teacher. I tried to make Skekmal look athletic, threatening but still look like a Hall monitor??? (Ex-Hall monitor I mean).
I definelty had the most fun drawing Skekekt, they have such a flamboyant design an personality and I tried my best to make them look feminine while having some masculinity as well but I think it kinda backfired. I really love Skeksa, she’s one of my fav skeksis and aside from Skekekt I feel like I gave her the best design. I really love how the blue hair turned out. SkEkGrA i’M sO sOrRy!!!! I just kinda got lost on what to do with him so I settled with what I drew and I’m not that proud of it. Idk it might just be me…
I think someone in the TDC fandom is repeatedly spamming me with racist hate anons
For context: It started a couple months ago when I posted TMA/TDC crossover art where I made Deet and Naia black and Seladon and Brea indonesian, and it’s progressively gotten worse since then. The asks are filled with death threats and racial slurs, and it’s starting to become a daily thing, cleaning out my asks of this anon.
I have no idea if it’s the same person or not, I’m not trying to accuse anybody, and I’m not even sure if they’re from the TDC fandom, but if any of you have any idea who it might be or otherwise, please let me know.
I’ve always received racist asks since I’ve joined this site, but this is starting to become really draining now. Please help
TL;DR: Some dickweed anon is being racist in my asks and it’s wearing me out, man
I didn’t really want to cry today, but here we are Lol :’)
So we all know that Rian’s mom Shoni doesn’t make an appearance in the series and there is a possibility that she won’t make an appearance in the future.
I have seen a lot of head canons as to what might have happened to her and this is just my addition to those head canons. I think that it’s possible that Shoni might have died while giving birth Rian/ or she died shortly after he was born, this could explain her absence as well as the absence of Rian’s younger siblings. I’m probably not the only person who has thought of this but that’s okay.
I wrote the lyrics from “Dear Theodosia Reprise” to add more effect.
If you like The Dark Crystal/ The Dark Crystal Age of Resistance give this blog a look! They have all sorts of post regarding the topic but the ones that stick out the most are definitely the art ones! Here are just a FEW of the BEAUTIFUL drawings you can find there:
Like those? Want to see more? Then once again go give @imagin8 ’s blog a go!
*This message has been approved by Aughra and Hup’s mighty spoon*
Happy Birthday! Thank you for your beautiful art and all the participantion you’ve done for the dark crystal fandom!!
I hope you enjoy my drawing of Fleur she has such a pretty design and was really fun to draw. Your OC’s are so interesting and I really enjoy their stories.
This one is kinda rushed and I’m not really proud of it but it’s fine.
So there are a lot of people who debate whether Brea or Kylan is the one to plant the first kiss and I kinda flip flop between the two. However I feel like Brea would definitely be most likely to do it and just imagining it and Kylan being thrown completely off guard by it just makes me so happy.
So I imagine that during Brea’s visit to Sami thicket that she and Kylan sneak off after everyone goes to bed and he takes her out to a field and there are just a bunch of stars out in the sky. Since Brea lived in the city all her life she had never seen this many stars before (and you BET that brought a book or her journal or something).
I got this idea from when my mom took me out to visit my grandparents further out in the country and there were a bunch of stars out since we were further away from the city and lights. I love stargazing scenes in movies since they are just so romantic and imagining these is just
Also since I found out about Royal melody week on like two days ago some of my submissions will be late.
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.
Deet and Rian make their way topside as the Great Conjunction approaches. For Deet, leaving the caves with her family feels different than it when she first left all those years ago.
I have come out of my cave to bring you some wholesome Stonegrot. I still love these two. I might be a little rusty but I hope you all enjoy this mini comic!
I LOVE the theme of Rian initiating the kiss. I think Mira was the one to go in for their first kiss, and I think Rian is a bit bashful when it comes to romance. At least in the beginning.
I imagine this little comic take place during the first few unum of their relationship.
I hope you all enjoy this little return to Stonegrot for this glorious week!
