highlights from the dark crystal con include:
* Elder Cadia has a facial tick inspired by the turtle-beak-like end to his mouth, to smack his lips. You can catch him doing it in the powdered nulroot scene in episode 2 (thank you Olly Taylor for telling me this!)
* Lisa Maxwell, voice of Kira, actually developed Kira’s “talk with flowers”/”talk to the animals” language on her own! Jim Henson had given her direction to make sounds “calling” to them, and invited her to ad lib. She ended up drawing inspiration from her recent vacation to Spain!
* I met @timeagainreviews! yes, the creator of the SkekGra Pizza Parade video!!!! <3 <3 <3 I was SO HAPPY and she is SO FUNNY. a discussion of kermit cooking miss piggy Hannibal-style might have been discussed XD
* hup is from an archaic, more formal culture of podlings that is more rare, which involves speaking in longer more formal sentences, referring to the recipient, etc. basically he’s a glorious extinct knight podling (thank you J M Lee and Victor Yerrid for telling us this!)
* from the costume design panel - the gourmand’s codpiece was a squeaky toy
