The Last Two of Their Kind
Hey, who wanted an AU no one asked for? Narratively, Jen and Kira are foils to the Gruenaks. As, in the end they survived. Considering the cruel nature of Skeksis, things could have been much different.

i love henson company and dark crystal and the talk was great!!!!! (no renewal news though, but still some ICONIC behind the scenes details <3)
#oh how the tables turn
Thinking about them,,,,,,,,
The Dark Crystal Headcanon:
Interesting thing my buddy pointed out that lead me to a very sad headcanon. During the scene with the Gruenaks fighting The Scientist, one of the Gruenaks puts a basket over The Scientist’s head.
When this happens SkekTek start to panic, screaming “NO! Help! Release me!” The interesting thing is, it’s just a wooden basket, it doesn’t pose that much of a threat and he can just take it off. But the moment it goes on The Scientist shakes and thrashes. Why? Because he’s flashing back to the Peeper Beetle Ceremony.
Where they put a cage over his head! SkekTek reacts so badly because they accidentally triggered his past trauma! (I’d like to take a moment to say this in no way excused SkekTek for enslaving and murdering those two poor Gruenaks, he is still a terrible, terrible person.) Thus leads me to my headcanon: SkekTek has severe PTSD/Claustrophobia.
They both probably mix into each other, but if anything covers his head he will freak out. Suddenly he’s back in that cage, unable to fight off the creature eating his eye or his “companions” torturing and laughing at him. Calling him weak and a failure. Suddenly all those memories come back if something he doesn’t want on his head is on his head. He can’t breath, he can’t think straight, he just goes into a blind rage. SkekTek is a very interesting character and this just adds another layer of tragedy to him.
Ok, I've seen some dark shit in AoR and the Dark Crystal, but NOTHING in the movie or the show could've prepared me for this!!!!!
I literally almost threw up in shock watching this.
(Careful Skektek your Joker is showing, also that foreshadowing)
I don’t take constructive criticism
