some dark crystal: age of resistance memes I made for u :)

where is the dark crystal fandom

[strawberrypimpsimp]

I just fell in the rabbit hole of the dark crystal, I already joined a community on reddit for it today, and now I'm here, looking at fanart. Uh huh. This is fine.

(send help).

so i finally watched the original dark crystal movie last night and got to have that satisfactory ending I didn't get from the Netflix prequel

you see i watched it first and didn't realize it was a prequel until I saw the 1982 film. But it makes sense because I was already theorizing about it while watching and that Rian is most likely Jen's father ahhh sjahdueuwiw

quite frankly i never thought I'd get into it this much but I decided to give it another try and I'm glad I did. (and definitely not only because the guy I like introduced it to me shwjwwuw I'm not responsible for this).

Credits to @hungfaerie for the image! ♡

Gelfling come to earth AU

AU where the gelfling are transported to earth and find humans who want to protect them.

-I see Rian and Ordon ending up with a young pompous lawyer (think edgeworth from ace attorney) who only lets them live with him since he knows he wouldn’t want to be left stranded in an alien planet without help but hates them at first. He thinks Rian is reckless and that Ordon adapted poorly to change, but after getting to know them he grew more fond of them and enjoyed the excitement he otherwise wouldn’t experience since he lived alone.

-Mayrin and Seladon were found by a hippie artist (think the van from cars kinda hippie) living off of her parents wealth. She actually loved dark crystal and were worried the government would do something bad to them, so took them in. She teaches Mayrin and Seladon to mellow out a bit and have a stronger bond as she can relate to having a bad bond with parents (her parents gave her things and pressure not affection). In turn, she’s inspired by Mayrin and Seladon to take control of her life and become independent of her parents money by opening up her own art shop.

-Tavra and Brea are found by a local farmer family (best comparison would be apple family from my little pony) and they start getting to work around the farm to earn their keep and after getting to know them, the farmers offer them a place to stay. They learn about farm life and the family learns about Thra as well as how to be more organized as the farm was doing bad for a few seasons due to poor management. Brea and Tavera learn about earth, and Brea in particular is intrigued with their political sphere and how different it is from Thra.

-Naia and Kylan are found by a struggling actor (any male actor you like will do but I prefer thinking of it like a young Daveed Diggs) . He works at a local coffee shop and lives upstairs barely being able to pay the rent and food (don’t ask about his student loans…). From them, he learns to be more persistent and still follow his passion. Naia learns to forgive herself from her past mistakes and that they don’t define her (she messed up a spell that was supposed to be her coronation into being Maudra so feels guilty like actor does for his loans and not being able to pay). Eventually, Kylan teaches the actor some gelfling songs and actor decides to put it online.

-Well the song gets massively popular because of its sound, it resonating with people, and no one being able to translate the lyrics. Actor guy gets super famous from it and goes on a few talk shows and does interviews etc.

-It’s playing in the background of the news one morning as lawyer and Ordon/Rian are getting ready and listen to the song and Rian’s like “Hey! That’s gelfling!! HE’S SINGING GELFLING!!!” Lawyer begins to look for other interviews of actor and realizes that his answers to “What gave you inspiration to write this warm, cozy song?” always change and he gets fidgety or looks away from the camera.

-Seladon and Mayrin hear it on the radio which was playing internet hits at the time, and tell hippie, thinking it could be Tavra or Brea. Hippie (though hating technology) agrees to take them to the local library to look it up.

-Farm family gets the local paper (which Brea reads every morning to improve her human reading comprehension!) and discovers the gelfling as well. The oldest daughter takes Brea and Tavra to the library to find out more since the farm is remote.

-Happens to be same library hippie girl is at with her gelfling and Brea, Tavra, Seladon, and Mayrin reunite. Hippie and farm girl help look up actor and see that in interviews he mentioned auditioning for a theater a few states away from them so they set off to find him in case he knows how to get the gelfling home.

-Lawyer sees the actor as suspicious and looks him up, finding the theater the girls did and taking Rian and Ordon there, all hoping to find a way to bring them home.

-The three get to the theater where actor is rehearsing and try to figure out why the other is there. Lawyer notices their strangely large tote bag and they notices his heavy/unzipped backpack he used to carry around Ordon/Rian if they wanted to go out. They realize pretty quickly they’re there for the same reason and decide to jump the actor. After actor gets out of rehearsal, they confront him and he admits to knowing Naia and Kylan. They ask to see the other gelfling first but actor is too nervous for that. So, actor takes them all to the coffee shop he works at and takes the gelfling upstairs to find naia and Kylan.

-Naia is ashamed she got them into the mess but the gelfling assure her some good’s come out of it and they’ll return home. Mayrin helps naia redo the Maudra spell and they create a portal to go home. They don’t know if they’ll remember the human world, or what all happened, but they have a tearful good bye to their humans and leave.

-Back on Thra, they reunite with loved ones and don’t quite remember all that happened, but seem to be more stable after the disappearance. They return to their normal lives and all is well (of course until the canon AoR takes over 😉 ).

-Alternate part 2 would be after Gelfling leave humans get together one a year to commemorate their friends going home until one decides to look up what Gelfling and the dark crystal actually is. They see the draining, lose their minds, but luckily caught the Maudra spell via actor recording it on an old camera. They do the spell and go help their friends, but when they go to Thra, they forget about anything to do with the Gelfling being on earth and only recall their lives before meeting the Gelfling. Can they save their friends from the claws of the Skeksis or shall they become essence as well?

[tdc-incorrect-quotes]

Seladon: Love is dead and never existed. All you did was betray me as I lay sick and festering. You are the definition of dread. Tavra: Are you okay? Seladon: Brea stole my fucking garlic bread.

Gelflings

Bit of an overdue piece for the 4 year anniversary of The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance. I seriously love this series.

Some sketches for tdc Mermaid AU

1. Aughra is an ancient oyster. The Crystal is the giant pearl hatched by her XD

2. Brea meets skekLach and skekOk. She wanted to see the Lords too bad and swam too deep, where her eyes can't see a thing, and she got lost. They won't do any harm to her of course, after finding out she's a princess. They'd even escort her to the caves of Grot, where she'll accidently meet Deet. Also Brea, as all female Gelf mermaids, is a flying fish

3. Since the Skeksis are anglerfish, their lanterns mean a lot for them. If you want to hurt them - certainly go for the lantern. And yeah, that's exactly how skekTek was punished in this AU, they took his lantern instead of the eye

I must ask the forbidden question.

Does Rian ever get to be happy... And can I give him a cookie. If they eat those.🪻

He does! In his good end he gets a big family of friends that care a lot about him and help him unlearn a lot of BAD behaviors from Mal. Speaking of Mal...

He would really appreciate that cookie
