Drawing skeksis in maid dresses part 5. Ekt is trying to hype her up.

[ben-the-hyena]

One of the funniest things in SkekAyuk X SkekEkt is how they are a perfect couple who adore each other and agree with everything except one thing : politics. SkekEkt wants SkekSil to be Emperor and SkekAyuk wants SkekZok as such

That must be the ONE topic they avoid because if they do they argue so hard one ends up screaming and the other flips the table and they sleep separately for the night

No couple is perfect

Skeklach: I love you BITCH I ain't gonna never stop lovin you, BITCH

Hello again Dark Crystal Community

[sifanjewel]

Allow me to explain why these 5 in particular are in a zoom call together:

skekOk is in charge of rounding up the outsider Skeksis to fight the Gelfling Resistance. He was not prepared to be so easily roasted like the expired Thanksgiving turkey he is.

skekEkt was there because he knew this would result in drama but he didn’t expect the argument to take such a dark turn.

skekLi doesn’t want anything to do with these assholes but answered the call anyway because he also knew there would be a fight and he needed some form of entertainment after sulking alone in the Wilderness for so long.

Despite being blocked skekGra managed to hack into the call to spy on Skeksis conversations for the Gelfling. Everyone but the Mariner was too stupid to realize the random icon wasn’t a glitch until he blew his cover by laughing hysterically because of course he did.

skekSa also answered just to see what would happen and since this is before she turned on the Gelfling herself she doesn’t give a flying fuck about the Emperor’s orders and knows exactly how to get these castle-dwelling bastards to leave her alone.

SkekMal: [walks in covered in blood]

SkekEkt: Amazing costume!! Happy Halloween!

SkekMal:

SkekMal: Oh it's Halloween. That's convenient.

Nothing is better than purchasing a piece of clothing and knowing with absolute certainty that it wouldn’t look out of place on a skeksis.

DOUBLE DATE, and skekung is there

Another edit I did ft most of the Skeksis in Age of Resistance to the song Ways to Be Wicked from Descendants 2.

HAHA HUMAN JUMPSCARE. This prompt is: The one they hate! And I must say..this was a stretch! SkekEkt and him don't hate each other. It's more playful fighting! They sometimes stick the tongue out at each other or say kid-like insults at each other. I don't think anyone can actively hate him, not because he is cute or something like that, but SkekZok wouldn't let them! His presence is enough to make them shut their beaks!

hope you like it <3 (one more to goooo)

[thoughtfulbelieverstrawberry]

Hello, I'm sorry to see your message so far, university is keeping me busy but I will gladly accept your request, I may abandon my stories but I love writing unique things, so you are free to request it again in my inbox or in private message at least What do you want me to do, I'm sorry if my English sucks but I use a translator anyway, thank you for this opportunity ♥️✨

[ben-the-hyena]

SkekOk and SkekLach being best friends who roast each other as a love language and SkekEkt being part of the trio but not as close as them feeling too comfortable

The Ornamentalist

In the depths of the forest there is a trickster clad in black and red. They are bejewelled with crimson gems and golden adornments, a wolfish smile forever etched onto their youthful face.

Their grove is a place that glints and glitters, holding their dozens of collections, the brutal ones hidden under the jewels and roots. Many who travel within the forest search for them. they know the forest better than most. though all should be wary of their words.

Be warned travellers, vanity and greed is their king. They will offer aide, they will offer trades, but their purpose is to take away all of you and that you have that hold value. Daintily they hide behind their golden fan, demurely they ask you their question, mercilessly do they guide you to your fate.

Fae, Demon, God. they have many names, many faces, many terrible secrets. a monster hidden behind a pleasing form.

Beware.
