#SkekTek

In 2019 I drew skeksis from 'dark crystal' in the Don Bluth's artstyle. I haven't touched them since then, but I've been thinking a lot about it. Now that I feel comfortable with animation, I thought I could try myself on them. I got pretty lazy on this one, but I wanted to try it.

Chicken Science Swednesday: Chicken as a liquid

Many people are unaware that some chickens, when exposed to direct sunlight, become puddles:

There is no reason to be alarmed, as this process is 100% reversible. Indeed, most chickens will return to their solid form within a few minutes of melting, without any external assistance.

Don't worry if you were unaware of this. Even chickens who are not currently puddles are often confused by these encounters:

The Castle of the Crystal? More like the Castle of Gossip!

The best scene in the Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance is when the Chamberlain approaches the Scientist a week after framing him and causing him to very painfully lose his eye like "heyyy.... I know I framed you for something that was entirely my fault which caused you to be tortured as punishment... but we're still friends right?" And the Scientist, with a replacement eye, just says "whatever cunt. I'll walk it off"

On my first watch of Age of Resistance I wondered why everyone treated the Scientist so poorly when he is probably the single most important Skeksis in the Castle.

And on later watches, I realized that’s the point.

He is truly indispensable and if he and the other Skeksis realized that, he’d be a threat to the Emperor’s power.

So he’s treated as essential and also as a figure of mockery. He’s relied on but not respected. Except maybe as lip service.

Very similar to some jobs in our world.

Seladon’s Revenge

[marvel-starwarsfangirl]

Finished my 5th rewatch of The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance and I still adore it with all my heart. I cried again as well.

I’m so frustrated and heartbroken that we’re not getting a second season. Everyday I pray that it’ll get picked up by another network or get a book/comic sequel but that seems more unlikely with each passing day. I love this show and I’d say it’s in my top 3 favorite shows of all time.

It’s beautiful, fun, and has great characters. I’ll always revisit AoR if I need something fun to watch. I just wish we’d get to see the rest of the story.

I love The Dark Crystal and I’ll continue to sing its praises til the day I die
