MOVING

All right, actually moving this time! I'll 'watch' the folks I still interact with here! It'll take a while to move all the Skeksis Drabbles, in the meantime I'll post a link to my AO3 Account!

Skeksis Notes

3 min read

So on Tumblr, it’s easier to post such things as thoughts on your own characters, but, I feel I should do it here. It’s nice to open up discussions about OCs, so, feel free to bring up your Skeksis and UrRu friends in the comments! It’s great fun to speak about how they may interact, especially with the RP blog I’ve created!

So, my thoughts The Minor Conjunction Series:

    ·         SkekSept has evolved a lot from his first creation. He was a revamp of an old childhood character, from a story called ‘Forever Life’ which was based upon The Dark Crystal, among other things. Initially he was more like SkekUng but shifted into a similar design to the Chamberlain.

    ·         Originally, SkekSept was an actual child, rather than physically in his mid/late teens when he first appears.

    ·         SkekSept and Chamberlain’s relationship mimicked that of parent and child, faintly during their brief time as friends. The fact that he was the first of the elder skeksis to show him kindness, however false, left a great impact on SkekSept that he has trouble forgetting, even when he learns better. Such is the influence of ill-fitting parents.

    ·         SkekSik’s redemption is an unexplored plot-point. In one version, he remains the wilderness with SkekHdax and SkekSept, who shed their youth in the peace away from the castle … and raise a family of their own, and it is their child, SkekSemba, who must confront the elders long after SkekSik passes peacefully from old age. He WILL appear in the sequel series, I hope.

    ·         SkekSept is the more emotional of the two Urskeks that came to this planet, and therefore, prone to losing his way. There’s darkness in him, as in everyone.

    ·         SkekSept can sing, but does not know it.

    ·         SkekHdax becomes proficient with a dual-curled blade. In one verse, she is apprentice under SkekUng himself.

    ·         SkekMojo and SkekRoza are part of a new batch of skeksis, who each have unique attributes due to the new nature of the Crystal of Truth. They only appear in the universe coming from the ‘dark’ ending to my series. (In It’s Darkness)

    ·          Feel free to ask more! (They have their own web-page now.)

So I got into the Dark Crystal some years back, and revamped an old idea of mine into a little series. To begin with, the stories were disconnected shorts that were merely explorations, out of chronological order - but as time went on, a plot developed and the story became more linear. However, there's a TWO AU'S involving different events and a story divergence, as well as stories that include other Skeksis Ocs made by different people - SkekLa, SkekFer, SkekKel, and so on. I'll list them all and eventually get around to posting links to make it easier to navigate the overall narrative!

So what is the story? Mainly, a Minor Conjunction occurs - two young Urskeks descent to Thra, and are violently split apart into two new UrRu and Skeksis. And the confusion, adventure, and horror that follows is the unfolding tale. In another timeline, another tale, there is SkekSik the Architect, who was tossed from the castle some time before SkekSil The Chamberlain. Sassy old fellow.
Keep in mind about the first few stories being disjointed and explorations - a few divert from the 'canon' like 'Give His Robes to Him', which would really belong in the 'Age of Wonder' universe!

SkekSik the Architect: Mouldy, Mildew, Lords Not For Long, Please Make Peace

Crossover with SkekKel and SkekLa: By The Law, The Age One Wonder, Part One and Two

Trade Pieces: Brings No Comfort, Peace, Unfathomable, Some Fireside Scheming.

The Main Story:

The Mediocre Conjunction

Chamber of Balance

Not A Bad Idea At All

And Now There Are More Than Ten

Gives His Robes To Him

Kneel, Leap, Bow

By The Law

Trial by Trine

The Wrong Way To Say Thank You

A Hum of Forgetfulness

The Crystal Sings

A Dying Sight

How Crude

We Will Destroy Us

Sundered And Undone

One Made Two

Until Its Time To Make My Move

A Dying Race

Cheat Death Again

Your Trivial Essence

Their Treasure, Our Fate

A Challenge

Meanwhile, In A Dream Of Peace

Go Where You Call Me

Words That Stay

Lift Up That Sceptre

Augrha Knew

To The Crystal Chamber

Apart of Each Other

Happy Easter!

So, I've been mulling over my options and while its still on the fence, I'm looking into re-studing some subjects as well as going into patisserie - as in cake, baking and pastries, working off an old hobby of mine - for a steadier income. Creative work can always be done in my free-time.

I realised what was wrong with my portfolio and really I ought to kick myself for the mistakes; I was meant to tie it all in together more and it seems really obvious.

ANYWHOO~ Happy Easter! I have many relatives on my mother's side, most of them older now, who all gave eggs as gifts and now the place is overflowing with chocolate. I am going to perish among it.

I hope everyone's doing well and I apologise for being absent!
