love seeing straight girls say they have a crush on skekSil. Like what do you think he’s gonna do? Top you? I have to laugh.

[the-vibe-dealer]

Alright Dark Crystal fandom- here's the hot take none of y'all wanted, but the one you're gonna get anyway:

I am almost 100% certain that a fully formed GraGoh would just be the equivalent of a slightly more lucid King Bumi. Just like,, general crazy old grandpa vibes. He seems like he's been off his meds for God only knows how long, but there is untold power beneath that old man exterior...

[the-vibe-dealer]

I don't personally have much to add, but please be super careful!! People like this don't deserve any second chances. So please, if he joins your server do NOT interact! Stay safe everyone.

---

“What’s all this then, my love?”

You spun around at the sound, your face lighting up in an excited grin as you saw just who had entered the room.

“Ung! Welcome back!”

You trotted over to the skeksis in question, smiling up at him and hiding your hands behind your back. He leaned down slightly as you planted a chaste kiss on his cheek, a warm and excited fluttery feeling filling up your chest at the deep little chuckle he gave you in return.

“I’m glad you were actually able to sneak away,” you continued excitedly, bouncing up and down on your heels, “I was worried you wouldn’t come back until late!”

“Of course I was!” He replied, nuzzling into your neck and purring softly and contentedly, “Why would I disregard such a sweet request from my dearest one?”

You giggled at the feeling of his fluff brushing against your skin, bringing one hand up to settle against the side of his face and the other sneakily storing the small item you were holding into the pocket of your outfit. You gently trailed your hand down to the corner of his jaw, lingering there for a moment before planting another soft kiss to his beak and pulling away, smiling cheekily at the wonderfully contented expression that spread across his face.

“Of course, of course,” you chuckled quietly, “I would expect nothing less from you, my love.”

You moved to fiddle with something on a nearby table, SkekUng beginning to unwind and relax in the background behind you. You furrowed your brows slightly as you opened up your downloads on your phone, one of the few things that followed you from Earth to Thra. There really wasn’t much you could do with it anymore, Thra wasn’t exactly known for its cell service after all. But at the very least you still had access to your downloaded photos and music. You sighed slightly at the dangerously low battery percentage, realizing that this would likely be one of, if not the last time you would be able to use it.

‘It’ll be worth it,’ you thought to yourself, shaking your head slightly and opening up the specific song you had chosen for this very night, ‘It’ll be worth it in the end. It has to be.’

SkekUng paused at the soft music that began to play throughout the room, looking up at you as you cleared your throat and moved to stand in front of him, holding out your hand and cocking your head to one side. A nervous smile spread across your face at his obvious confusion, a quiet giggle escaping your lips and your eyes closing as you steeled your nerves.

“Would you do me the honor of a dance, my love?” you asked, trying your best to ignore the slight tremble in your voice.

The short pause between your question and his response felt to you like an entire eternity, the anxiety you had been trying to repress all day rearing its ugly head and clawing at your chest with gnarled and cold hands. The nervous stuttering of your heart almost deafened you as you awaited his answer with baited breath. You had no reason to be so nervous, SkekUng was your lover after all. But you supposed you couldn’t exactly be blamed, either. You were very much in love, and the gnawing fear of losing one of the best relationships you’ve ever been able to cultivate was certainly one you were never able to completely shake.

Your nervous thoughts quickly quieted as you felt SkekUng’s hand gently grasp your own, your glassy eyes flying open to meet his own gaze. You grinned, purposely ignoring the shaking of your hands and the quick jackrabbiting in your chest. He smiled down at you, and you felt your face go red at the expression. He never ceased to surprise you with just how charming he could be sometimes.

“I would be absolutely honored, dearest one.”

His other hand came to rest on the small of your back, gently guiding you further into the room and absentmindedly feeling the fabric of your outfit between his thumb and forefinger. It was one of your favorites, he realized, your go to ensemble for important and fancy events where one needed to dress up. It was one of his favorites, too. He loved the way the fabric fell and draped around you, creating an all around regal appearance that was still entirely you. He found himself questioning why exactly you were so dressed up for him on this particular evening, but your wide and excited grin quickly silenced any doubts he might have had.

Thra, he loved you.

The dance was slow and intimate, moreso him holding you close and swaying with you than an actual dance. Sure, SkekUng may have known some ballroom dances, but he was never quite comfortable going beyond slow spins and gentle swaying. You couldn’t help but nestle a little closer into his chest, your eyes closing in contentment and the nervous fluttering of your heart morphing into giddy butterflies. The soft music drifting throughout the room tinted the atmosphere a particular shade of orange that you absolutely adored, the warmth and joy of the moment overwhelming you in its embrace and setting your emotions alight with burning affection for the skeksis that was holding you as close as he could.

A part of you wanted this moment, this dance, to last forever. Just you and the dearest love you had found in the strangest of places holding each other close and sharing in such a romantic gesture.

But there was still something you needed to do.

You stopped in your swaying, pulling away from SkekUng’s gentle grip and taking both his hands in your own. He looked down at you, confused, cocking his head and furrowing his brows in concern. Your grip on his hands tightened slightly as he held yours back. You closed your eyes.

You sucked in a nervous breath through your nose, holding it in for a moment before releasing it in a shuddering sigh. You steeled your nerves and set your will, giving SkekUng’s hands one more squeeze before finally gathering the courage to do what you needed to do.

“Dearest one? Are you...”

He trailed off as you lowered yourself down on one knee, digging through your pocket for the small item you had stashed earlier. Bringing it out into the open revealed it to be a small... box?

SkekUng was more than a little confused at this point, absolutely wracking his brain for what in The Crystal’s name you could be doing. He moved to ask you for some sort of explanation before pausing when you beat him to it, him hanging on to every word you spoke.

“SkekUng, my love,” You rolled your next words carefully in your mouth, testing them to see if they were the ones you wanted. You spoke only when you were satisfied with how they felt, finally allowing them to tumble over your lips.

“Ung, I love you. I love you so, so, so much. I’m constantly grateful that out of every being on this strange planet, you are the one I fell in love with. You mean so very much to me and I....” you gulped, keeping your head down and your eyes closed, nervous to meet the skeksis’ gaze, “I want nothing more than to spend the rest of my life with you, however long that may be.”

You carefully opened the small box you grasped in your hands, finally gathering the guts to look your lover in the eyes as you popped the question you had been wanting to ask for days.

“Ung? Will you do me the honor of letting me spend my life with you? Will you... Will you marry me?”

The whole world seemed to still as the question left your mouth, the music fading out as your phone finally died along with the last chord of the song. SkekUng was well aware of what you were asking, of course. You had told him about human customs such as this. You had also told him just how much trust it took, just how much love must be present in a relationship for marriage to even be considered.

He sucked in a breath, not even realizing he was dropping to his knees before you.

You, his perfect dearest little darling, the love of his long and never ending life, wanted to marry him?

“SkekUng? Are you... are you crying?”

If he was it was the very last thing that mattered to him as he quickly bundled you up in his arms, a quiet and shuddering yes, Thra yes, being his only response. You laughed, a sharp and breathless thing, flinging your arms around him and grinning into the fabric of his robes as your own tears quickly began to spill over.

He said yes!

He wanted to marry you!!

He was going to be your spouse!!!

Your laughter and tears mixed as you pulled away and cradled his face in your hands, watery eyes meeting his as you peppered kisses all over the skeksis’ face and sputtered out your gratitude. The sheer joy you felt bubbled out from the deepest part of your chest and spilled over into shaky exclamations and warm kisses and caresses.

Neither of you were quite sure how long you held each other for, nor how many tears either of you shed that day. But what you both knew, deep within your chests and branded into the deepest, most intimate parts of your consciousnesses was this single promise:

You would be there for one another no matter what. Through sickness and in health, to have and to hold, long after this day and as far into the future as either of you could see.

The glittering of the silver lockets around both your necks was proof enough of this, the whispered words of praise and love solidifying your shared future in each other’s minds.

And as you studied your lover’s sleep softened face that night, as you listened to the soft purring emanating from his chest and stroked a gentle hand over the bumps and divots of his battle worn face... 

You realized that you wouldn’t have it any other way.

The poly yandere headcanons were really good, but yeah, if you are okay with it could you do dating Deet headcanons? Thank you!

Aw, thank you!! But yes, absolutley!! As one of my friends says, Deet is neat!! :D

You know those people who are just,,, so nice and sweet that it physically hurts? Yeah, that's Deet.

Assuming that you're a human who spontaneously popped up into Thra, you probably woke up in the caves of Grot while feeling really confused and a little scared. So imagine your further confusion when you are greeted with the sight of a substantially smaller little green lady flitting down to ask if you're okay.

"Hi! I'm Deet! Are you alright?" No, no you are not alright. But thank you for asking!

Deet would be incredibly curious about you, she's never seen anything like you!! She at first assumes that you must be some sort of strange Gelfling that somehow managed to tumble down into the caves and get suuuper lost. She's even more curious when you explain that no, you are not in fact a Gelfling. You don't even know what a Gelfling is, to be honest.

Deet would insist on taking you straight to Maudra Argot, hoping for some sort of explanation from the old wise woman. When all she receives is a shrug and a confused mumble, she brushes it off as nothing for her to worry about and proceeds to make sure you're as comfortable as possible.

Getting into a relationship with Deet is honestly surprisingly easy. She's the kind of person who is very quick to fall in love, and it's hard for anyone not to fall for her in return. She's just so bright, cheery, and loving, it's hard not to immediately be overwhelmed with affection for her!!

Who confesses first is really up in the air. Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if you both managed to confess at the same time! A happy surprise to say the least, resulting in happy grins, bubbling laughter, and joyous spinning embraces.

She loves holding your hand!! Despite it being considerably larger than her own, she absolutley adores the contact!! Her hands are definitely calloused, but the gentleness of their grip makes up for any roughness they may have.

She has the habit of sitting in your lap when neither of you have anything to do. She fits there like a puzzle piece, and the size difference is enough that you can both continue to do things that you need to!!

Please stoke her hair. It's her favorite form of intimacy, and I imagine that playing with and styling eachother's hair is definitely a big thing in romantic gelfling relationships. More of a sign of trust than anything!

She lives for cuddles!! Deet's love language is definetly physical affection, so long and soft cuddle sessions are her favorite way to bond with her partner!! Doesn't even need to be quiet, either!! She'd love to talk to you about her day and listen to you in return, all while you're both tangled up in eachother's arms.

Her ideal date with you would be sitting near and feeding Nurlocks!! She wants to spend some good quality time with two of her favot things, and who doesn't want to pet a giant worm at least once in their life??

If you were both on the surface, a nice little picnic would be the perfect date for you both as well!! Just finding a nice spot to settle down, share some good food and stories, and just enjoy eachother's company!!

If a relationship with Deet was a song, it would definitely be Would You Be So Kind by Dodie!!

So to make a long story short, my mental health hasn’t been doing super great lately. I’m trying to get back into a better mindset, but it hasn’t really been working all that well. I’m alright, so don’t worry, but I just want to keep y’all posted on why I’m not as active as other imagine blogs out there ;^^

Like I said above, I can’t promise to be super active for the time being, I’m still pretty hazy and not present, but I do really want to make content for you guys! I have so much fun writing and interacting, so I want to try and continue making things y’all enjoy!!

I’ll do my best to be semi active, and please don’t hesitate to continue sending in asks!! This blog is already so much fun to run, even though there isn’t much content on it yet. At the very least you guys can expect a lot more of my shitty doodles, if only to put out more content for y’all!!

Again, thank you all so much for being patient, and I hope you have a wonderful day, and an amazing rest of your week!! <3

[the-vibe-dealer]

Hey everyone!

So sorry about not posting very much, I know it's something that I need to get better at and I promise I'll get to answering all you fantastic people's asks very soon!

Though I just wanted to let everyone know that I'm going to be taking another short hiatus. Probably nothing too long, maybe a few days to a week tops. Life's just gone tits up, so I need to take a little time to myself so I can figure everything out and get back to you all when I'm in a better mindset!

Thank you all so very much for all the support, and I'll be back soon! Until then- stay safe, spend time with the people you love, and take some time to do something that will make you happy! Love you all, have a fantastic rest of your week!

[the-vibe-dealer]

Hi and good luck with this blog! Can I get hcs about Skektek please? Thank you?

Yes!!! You absolutely may!!! SkekTek is absolutely baby and I love him oh so very much!!!

Also! Little bit of an angst warning? Nothing too bad, just talking about low self esteem and all that kind of thing.

SkekTek the Scientist

SkekTek is one of the more quieter and withdrawn skeksis, but with very good reason. We all know just how bullied he is by his fellow skeksis, and that’s taken quite the toll on the poor man’s self confidence. What he is confident in however, is science. Science doesn’t hit you, yell at you, insult you, or make you feel like a lesser being. Science is the constant that stabilizes his life, and he’s very attached to his profession as a result.

It’s more than likely that if you’re human, he was the one that brought you to Thra. Accidentally, of course, but his experiments have a habit of going in strange directions that no one really expected, least of all the scientist. Not that he minds, gives him something else to study!

In the lore it states that SkekTek has done a ton of experiments on his own body, so it wouldn’t surprise me if his nervous system was kind of fucked as a result. I think he experiences a lot of chronic pain in some areas, and chronic numbness in others. But don’t get him wrong, he absolutely melts when it comes to physical affection.

He’s by far one of the hardest eggs to crack. His walls are all built up thick and high, and he won’t let just anyone into his long closed off heart. So it’s a difficult process to try and gain his trust, but not impossible. And once you’ve gained his trust, his heart, and his affections- you’ll have yourself a partner for life.

The key is to listen to him. Don’t talk over him, don’t scoff at him, don’t give him any odd glances, just sit and listen to him gush about his experiments. Let him bounce ideas off of you, rant to you, tell you all the thoughts that are wizzing through his head all at once. He’ll be suspicious at first, but he’ll eventually warm up and find comfort in your presence. Eventually, he’ll even encourage you to talk about the things that excite you, the things that get your heart pounding and your eyes to light up.

That’s what gets SkekTek to fall in love with you, the shining glimmer in your eyes when you talk about something your passionate about, the animated movements of your hands and the excited barely-restrained laughter tinging the edges of your voice. It warms him all the way down to his core and he finds himself unable to look away, his old heart stuttering to life and beating away in his chest as he looks at you with a mix of wonder, awe, and fear.

It would take him the longest of any skeksis to confess, if he ever even does. Like I said, his self esteem has been absolutely destroyed after years and years of being treated like garbage, so he really and truly doesn’t think he has a chance with you. He’s terrified of losing you, of ruining the relationship he’s so carefully cultivated with you, so he’ll likely never tell you just how deeply his feeling run.

That’s where it falls on you. You’re going to have to be the one to take the lead if you want to romance SkekTek, though I really suggest that you work up to it rather than dump it all out on him all at once. Start with small gestures, gifts, lingering touches, small smiles and whispers of affirmation. Slowly warm him up to the idea that yes, you do like him romantically. And that no, you’re not too good for him. 

Eventually, when you feel like you’re both ready, you’ll be able to tell him how you feel. And trust me, he’ll be absolutely overjoyed. That is, when he’s done short circuiting and internally screaming about the whole situation.

Give this man plenty of cuddles and casual touches. Doesn’t need to be anything risque or even explicitly romantic, just little touches that let him know that you’re there for him and that you really and truly love him. You can expect many warm nights of cuddling and soft, chaste kisses when you’re in a relationship with Tek.
