Have you ever seen Jim Henson and Frank Oz's appearance on the Russell Harty Show to promote The Dark Crystal?

At the 20 minute mark, UrAmaj, The Cook, visits the set and Russell asks some rather pressing questions, such as "How do mystics go to sleep?" and states very astutely, "He's got slightly a tearful look."

But UrAmaj isn't the only one Russell gets to meet! SkekEkt and SkekShod make an appearance too, when Russell gets to sit at their table, and gawk at their strange choices of food.

Urru/Mystic Sibling Groups

I mentioned in my skeksis sibling groups post that I was also gonna write an urru sibling groups post, especially since the sibling dynamics differ somewhat from the skeksis, but the actual sibling groups are the same as the skeksis ones ofc.

UrSu and UrVa are brothers. Due to their disagreement on the mystics' involvement with other races, they have some tension between them. They still have a brotherly bond ofc, but Urva prefers to visit the valley for just short periods. UrSu respects his brother's choices, but still wishes UrVa would stay in the valley and abide more by mystic ways. UrVa's sacrifice was a big motivator for UrSu to do something to help the gelfling, which led to him adopting Jen.

UrAc, UrTih and UrLii are siblings. These three are fairly tight knit. UrAc was a fairly prolific writer, often spending day and night writing stories and coming up with new words. He would write down any scientific discoveries by his brother UrTih, as well as any stories and riddles by his sister, UrLii. After UrLii decided to stay with her skeksis half in the Grottan caves, UrAc and UrTih found life rather dull without her:( When UrTih had his eye ripped out, he wound up with PTSD and found that reading his siblings' books helped him whenever he had nightmares, especially if UrAc read to him.

UrZah and UrGoh are brothers. These two were surprising close, considering how often UrGoh was away. UrZah even has a specific sand pattern that he creates just for his brother, which is obviously appreciated by UrGoh, who's fascinated by the patterns his brother traces. UrZah did get worried about his brother being so far away from the valley, especially when his brother decided to seek out his skeksis half after his vision. UrZah trusted his brother ofc, it's other people he doesn't trust.

UrSan and UrIm are siblings. Once again, another sibling group with a surprisingly close bond. They enjoy each other's company. Ofc, as the healer, UrIm worried a lot about his sister's swimming excursions, because of the physical dangers. UrSan does try to stay safe so that UrIm wouldn't have to tend any wounds on her.

UrSol and UrNol are brothers. They have a pretty good bond. As the herbalist who sometimes has a lot of free time while waiting for things to grow, UrNol would sit and chant with UrSol. They loved playing instruments together.

UrMa, UrSen and UrYod are siblings. They have a better sibling dynamic than their skeksis halves. Even though UrSen is a monk who prefers seclusion, she makes an exception for her siblings. She is fascinated by her sister UrYod's mathematical theories and patiently listens to her talk about them. She does break her seclusion to accompany her brother UrMa when he has to go on his peacekeeping missions.

UrAmaj and UrUtt are siblings. They're a fairly close sibling group. They help each other out with their respective roles and talk with each other when resting. UrUtt does weave stuff for him as gifts. UrAmaj brings food for UrUtt so that she doesn't miss meals.

This is the end of my post. I hope whoever reads this winds up liking it:)

Okay, this is probably the better way to format this. HERE’s a companion illustration to the writeup I did a while back on AyukAmaj’s and EktUtt’s backstories and how they fell [disastrously] in love as UrSkeks. ^^ (NB: NOT final design, I’m not even close to a final general UrSkek design, never mind individuals.) And HERE’s the link to that OP: https://sunderedandundone.tumblr.com/post/668744319392415744/paths-to-heresy-urskek-backstoriescrimes

[tdc-incorrect-quotes]

UrSu: 'Knowledge' is knowing that a tomato is a fruit; 'wisdom' is not putting it in a fruit salad.

Jen: That was deep.

UrAmaj: 'Philosophy' is wondering if that means ketchup is a smoothie.

Jen: That was deeper.

Aughra:'Common sense' is knowing that ketchup isn’t smoothie. Come on!

I have but one need

[skekheck]

How about UrAmaj & UrNol? Is there a headcanon about their relationship? (I have always found it fascinating that the Mystic Cook and the Herbalist's strong relationship was always mention in the lore...)

I love that they're such close bros that they even share the same page and graphic on the main website! Also because you're asking for relationship headcanons I'm just going to combine that for both characters instead of keeping it separate.

UrAmaj

First impression

Who?

Impression now

I like that in contrast to skekAyuk who enjoyed consuming food, urAmaj enjoyed preparing and making it. I can vibe with that.

Favorite moment

That urAmaj tried to replicate Gelfling food for Jen so he'd feel more at home, even if he didn't make it correctly. That's the sweetest thing.

Idea for a story

Kind of a small story, but I want to know how urAmaj learned Gelfling recipes to cook for Jen. Maybe he didn't spend his entire life in the Valley and might have picked up some recipes from Gelfling he met? Perhaps it's ancient Gelfling foods from the very early Age of Division, or perhaps from before that?

Unpopular opinion

N/A

Favorite headcanon

He likes preparing food himself, but he loves it more when the other Mystics help him out. Sometimes he'd ask them to help him out. Usually it's urNol or urUtt, but all of the Mystics in the Valley have been in urAmaj's kitchen at some point helping out.

UrNol

First impression

Who?

Impression now

It's interesting that it's implied he is the one responsible for creating the seeds that would eventually grow into the Great or Patron Trees.

Favorite moment

Did he even do anything in the movie? Or novelization? I don't remember.

Idea for a story

If he was the one responsible for making the Great/Patron Trees, how'd he do it? Why did he do it? Did he see a vision telling him Thra will need them to combat the Darkening? Did he get help from the other Mystics to plant them? Or perhaps have Thra's native creatures do it themselves (like Jarra-Jen and Aughra).

Unpopular opinion

N/A

Favorite headcanon

UrNol is immune to a lot of the side effects or toxins that come from the plants and herbs he collects. And, by extension, skekNa shares the same immunity.

Relationship Headcanons

UrAmaj and urNol were always super close, right from the very beginning of the Age of Division.

For a brief time they traveled Thra together, learning about Gelfling food recipes and all the native herbs on Thra. But they stayed close to the rest of their kind and settled in the Valley together.

Although urIm was the Mystics' healer, urAmaj and urNol were the most responsible in keeping the other Urru healthy, both physically and mentally. They both keep tabs on each Mystic and make sure they provide them with whatever they needed.

But they check on each other as well. UrNol makes sure urAmaj doesn't get too lost in his work.

They have a herb garden that they tend to together.
