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:)

Dipping my pinkie toe back into the Dark Crystal fandom and remembered a headcanon for urLii that actually sort of slapped:

Dunkleosteus teeth urLii.

Usually only used similar to sea urchin jaws: to scrape off algea and moss from rocks- but can give a nasty bite, if provoked.

Daily Fic Highlight: To Keep a Body Whole

And the kudos winner is a new one:

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

"To Keep a Body Whole" is a The Dark Crystal fic that was inspired by the one-word prompt "hospital." Now, there are no hospitals among the urRu, who I wanted to write about in response to the prompts I received, but UrIm is the Healer, and so I decided I would show him at work caring for UrSen, a self-isolating urRu known as the Monk. 16,083 words, T, Gen but you have to be cool with the possibility of any mystic/mystic ship.

Extrapolating from canon, I think it makes sense that the urRu/mystics would have a complex and, for some, difficult relationship with their own bodily needs. In my previous The Dark Crystal fic, I established that the urRu grapple with their own version of purity culture, which is tied to their determination to not be like their skeksis counterparts.

UrIm as Healer, however, has a perspective powerfully shaped by his role in caring for the physical bodies of mystics, all of whom he loves in a variety of different ways. After giving UrSen a checkup, he can't be resigned to the standard urRu way of thinking, but it's unclear what he can do. A conversation with UrLii only leads to more unsettling questions.

UrSen and UrLii don't ever appear in The Dark Crystal or The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance, but that just gave me more room to work!

Sample:

UrIm knocked on the stone to the side of UrSen’s doorway. “UrSen! It’s UrIm. I’m here for your checkup.” As he waited for UrSen to answer, he noted that their door curtain was getting ragged around the edges. UrUtt would want to fix that, if only UrSen would let him. UrIm consciously smoothed away any expression that might have pulled on his face in reaction to that thought, and just in time. UrSen drew aside the curtain, blinking in the sunlight before casting their eyes to the ground. “Hello, UrIm. Is it really already time?” “Yes.” UrIm’s calm answer sounded almost thunderous, compared to the extreme softness of UrSen’s voice. “You may have an infection. It needs careful watching.” “I’ve had this trouble for a long time. Has it ever changed much?” It never went away, that was true enough. UrIm was fairly sure it was something that originated with UrSen’s other, and Thra alone knew what they were doing to treat it, or, more likely, to exacerbate it. “Sometimes it’s better, sometimes it’s worse. I am interested in making sure the times it is better are greater.” “You know it makes little difference to me.” UrIm did know that. It was one of his primary sources of distress, even more than whatever he suffered due to SkekUng, though he had learned long ago that it was better if he didn’t say that to UrSen. “It’s still time for your checkup.”
