So for anyone who's interested, I've started *attempting* to organize my wonktastic UrSkek lore/worldbuilding material, including the backstories for the Twice-Nine and the fuckups that got them deported :-) , over at my AO3 pseud? Stay tuned for updates roughly at the speed of proofing/editing (i.e, whenthefuckever)

I have an old file of some of the urskeks I was designing in my spare time, decided to start redrawing them starting with these two. They were a personal chef and personal tailor to the same upper-class household, which is how they met. Of course I ship Ayuk/Ekt, so their urskeks had to be together.

AyukAmaj’s cropped tail and shaved hands are due to their line of work, don’t want to get in the way of other kitchen staff or get fur in the food.

Response to @dork-crystal

Urskek Pokémon Types

This version is based on a lot of headcanon/AU, but I figured I'd throw my hat into the ring. Maybe the ones that don't match up to the original are secondary types?

SoSu: Dark

SilSol: Psychic

UngIm: Rock

TekTih: Electric

ZokZah: Ghost

VarMa: Fighting

EktUtt: Flying

AyukAmaj: Grass

OkAc: Ice

LachSen: Poison

NaNol: Steel

GraGoh: Fire

MalVa: Bug

SaSan: Water

ShodYod: Ground

LiLii: Normal

YiYa: Dragon

HakHom: Fairy

So I’ve seen people ship skekEkt/skekAyuk and urAmaj/urNol and I wonder how that whole thing works when they reform into UrSkeks.

Like, just imagine your AyukAmaj and you’re finally whole but then you’re aware that the two beings that made up your psyche were in love with two other half’s of your fellow UrSkeks. (I mean obviously polyamory would ensue, but still...)

skekSept once switched urAmaj and skekAyuk’s ladles and the outcome was so heinous he never did it again.

Some UrSkek thoughts/ideas, cut cuz it's long

skekOk the Scrollkeeper + urAk the Scribe = OkAk the Historian

These roles are quite similar; people who write and record things. Thus, this one was easy for me. OkAk would be the one who recorded and knew all of UrSkek history, and would likely have a large library.

skekAyuk the Gourmand + urAmaj the Cook = AyukAmaj the Chef

These roles go hand-in-hand, one who eats and one who cooks. Thus, I went with the logical mix; a Chef, one who improves and creates new dishes. They would obviously be the chef of the UrSkeks, providing meals for the others.

skekGra the Conqueror/Heretic + urGoh the Wanderer = GraGoh the Explorer

While I was tempted to make GraGoh an artist due to their shared interests during AoR, I went with their official titles, both known for traveling. I think GraGoh would be the type to be constantly finding new places, meeting new creatures, and relaying the things they learn to the other UrSkeks.

skekHak the ??? + urHom the Carpenter = HakHom the ???

Unfortunately, we don't know what skekHak's role was. Thus, I can't combine their roles as I did with the others. For them, I speculate that skekHak would have ended up being some sort of craftsman or builder, and it would have extended to HakHom.

skekUng the General/Garthim Master/Emperor + urIm the Healer = UngIm the Leader

After the deaths of skekSo and urSu, skekUng took over as Emperor of the Skeksis. I'm not sure what their role would have been before this, as I can't find any real comparison between them. Maybe a Medic? Like, a battle medic.

skekLi the Satirist + urLii the Storyteller = LiLii the Entertainer

Though we've never seen them, these two were also easy for me. In my mind, Lilii was the one who would come up with humor and stories to entertain the other UrSkeks, based on the halves' titles.

skekVar the General + urMa the Peacemaker = VarMa the Strategist

In the case that the UrSkeks would ever have to fight, it would come down to VarMa to figure out what to do. They're a master negotiator, but also skilled in battle when need be. All in all, they would be the one to figure out how to best face a conflict.

skekNa the Slave Master + urNol the Herbalist = NaNol the ???

Honestly, I have no idea what to do with these two. Their roles seem completely unrelated to me. If y'all can come up with something for them, let me know, I'd be excited to see.

skekSa the Mariner + urSan the Swimmer = SaSan the Sailor

Similarly to GraGoh, SaSan would be a constant traveler, the only difference being that they focused on the sea.

skekLach the Collector + urSen the Monk = LachSen the ???

These two seem like complete opposites. Honestly, I'm not sure what to do with them. Maybe something to do with sorting or rating.

skekSil the Chamberlain + urSol the Chanter = SilSol the ???

While I can't quite figure out exactly what I'd want their role to be, with their titles being so different, but I know that they were likely an assistant to whoever bore the title of Leader. Perhaps something to do with speaking, due to skekSil's tendency to mess with people through words.

skekSo the Emporer + urSu the Master = SoSu the Leader.

They were the original leader of the UrSkeks, before the role was passed to UngIm with their death.

skekTek the Scientist + urTih the Alchemist = TekTih the Researcher

They spend all of their time trying to learn new things, trying to find information about the world around them. Unlike GraGoh and SaSol, however, they don't travel, instead researching through books and experimentation.

skekEkt the Ornamentalist + urUtt the Weaver = EktUtt the Tailor

EktUtt was likely the one who provided clothing for all of the UrSkeks, and in my mind, were the most materialistic UrSkek. They like high-quality clothing that tells a story and expresses the wearer.

skekMal the Hunter and urVa the Archer = MalVa the Warrior

MalVa was likely one of the physically strongest UrSkeks, fighting/killing for food and to protect the others when needed. They likely worked closely with ValMa, both dealing with battle more than the other UrSkeks.

skekYi the ??? + urYa the ??? = YiYa the ???

Legit have no info on either of them. No idea what they could've done.

skekShod the Treasurer + urYod the Numerologist = ShodYod the Mathematician

They're a master of math, with their accounting skills moving to skekShod. If UrSkeks had a system of currency, they totally were the one who handled it.

skekZok the Ritual Master + urZah the Ritual Guardian = ZokZah the High Priest

Their titles are near exactly the same, so I treated that as ZokZah being extremely ritualistic and focusing on tradition, moreso than any other UrSkek.

How did the other UrSkeks react to OkAk's children?

SilSol, EktAyuk, UngIm and AyukAmaj are happy that their bro got a happy family. They occasionally visit Thra to say hello and to be back in a familar environment.

ZokZah doesn't approve of it. NaNol and ShodYod don't really care about it. However they'll visit for their own personal reasons

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

skekEkt! (if you could use he/him for him, please.)

I always use he/him for Ekt so don’t worry!

Why I like them

SkekEkt is the very reason I got into Dark Crystal (it’s explained here) and he was my second favorite skeksis in the movie. He had my favorite design at the time: even though he was as grungy looking as everyone else, he had colors that made him pop. Also his dyed red hair is iconic. And from the very few scenes he was in, I found him hilariously over the top. Fortunately we got more of that in AOR and I learned more about skekEkt with my own research. Beneath his vanity and pettiness, the Ornamentalist is surprisingly resourceful. Like he used diamond powder mixed with blood to give him a youthful appearance. Sure it’s superficial, grotesque, and unnecessary, but it’s kind of amazing he can just come up with something like that. I’m sure he has similar solutions for other beauty-related problems. He’s just a super lively, theatrical character and I love him.

Why I don’t

Do you really need to kill a hundred birds to make one cloak? Come on, don’t be wasteful.

Favorite episode (scene if movie)

When skekEkt is prepping for skekMal’s funeral arrangements and he’s excited of decorating them and making them beautiful (in his eyes). And then he goes to prep skekMal’s comatose body with blush and paint like he’s a mortuary make up artist. He looks like he’s having a lot of fun and therefore makes me happy.

Favorite season/movie

AOR for certain.

Favorite line

“Life is my paint. Death is my canvas”.

Favorite outfit

He practically wears the same thing, but I like it in the movie. I think it’s the heavier shadows/muted colors, but I love the grunge.

OTP

I do ship skekEkt with his mystic urUtt, but I am a huge ekt x ayuk shipper. They’re the only skeksis x skeksis ship I like LMAO. Might help that they have the most positive chemistry out of the lot.

Brotp

Him and skekOk are good buds and when skekLach was alive I’m sure he was good friends with her too. Just the way he mourned with him when skekLach died, seeing him just as upset as he was... that’s precious. Also I love to imagine those two would go off about how ugly the others look behind their backs and talking about the latest gossip.

Head Canon

SkekEkt explores other forms of art. Like how he's in charge of the Podling choir rehearsals, he’s also an amateur poet and writes sappy love poems for skekAyuk.

Unpopular opinion

I like to think he mixes up pronouns every few hundred trine or so, just exploring his identity/what pronouns he thinks suits him best. So at some point he has used she/her and other pronouns as well until he settled on he/him.

A wish

I hope skekEkt and skekAyuk are still together as EktUtt and AyukAmaj.

An oh-god-please-dont-ever-happen

For EktAyuk to not be a thing. I know they’re not official, but slight nudges is better than de-confirming it.

5 words to best describe them

Resourceful | Artistic | Melodramatic | Outgoing | Petty

My nickname for them

Pretty birb

Everyone's out there redesigning the UrSkeks because they rightfully think it's lame to have them like clones while their halves are all unique so I had to too. However I did love the fact they looked primate-feline like so I played with it inspired by Xxtabay's gallery. I really love how they all came out. But I didn't color them because their eyes aside, I had no idea how to color them. Also sadly the pen died at LiLii so I had to finish with a writing pen not made for drawing... also HC they all look like that but in the end of the movie Jen and Kira see them all alike not only because they all wear the same white prisonner clothes they must wear now they come back to their world but also because the 2 Gelflings are blinded by how much the UrSkeks glow white, glowing out of intense emotion now they are whole again. Anatomically wise, we know they have elf ears and fangs in the comics, but also HC they have 8 teats, 4 arms, a tail, feathers, blue blood and a vagina and 2 penises with 3 heads each

See my older post of them for their bios : https://ben-the-hyena.tumblr.com/post/189652579387/my-personnal-take-on-the-urskek-world-an

What crime do you think each Urskek committed to get banished to Thra to 'cleanse' themselves?

OOOHH I THINK ABOUT THIS A LOT. All of them were banished for heresy so lets jump into the ones i have so far:

AyukAmaj I want to say poisoned someone. Whether it be on accident or on purpose, he may have poisoned a high ranking official. HOWEVER. Alternatively I like the idea that there was a class discrepancy in food and drink. Certain castes were only allowed certain foods. However, AyukAmaj is a provider at heart, and who would he be to deny the poor and hungry food? Even when the only food available was high society. This act would be seen as heretical, and especially if he openly expressed that there should be no moderation in who is allowed to have what.

EktUtt was banished for some sartorial indecency. Urskeks I imagine have very strict dress codes, very specific to their trade, rank, class, etc. EktUtt was either bribed or otherwise coerced into tailoring clothes that did not fit into their clients class- or, my favorite possibility, created unorthodox clothing that fit into no boxes, simply for the sake of creative expression.

HakHom proposed a new style of architecture. An important building, perhaps a temple or political headquarter, kept collapsing. She had to build and rebuild it constantly until she urged to rebuild it in a new style, and this was seen as heresy to question the grand design.

LiLii was a storyteller whose fables became more and more radical. They began writing less about the sanctity of unity and the wondrous nature of conformity and more about what would make the audience laugh or be entertained. What would make the audience feel free? While it was enjoyed by many, the higher authorities saw this as a detriment on culture itself.

SoSu proposed a new form of government: a system of local officials that would report back to a single one. She suggested that there would be above them an oligarchy of true rulers, but they would serve as well as figureheads. This would put the lurking government of Urskek society into the foreground, force them to be seen and force them to be put under public scrutiny. It was a crude display if the authorities had ever seen one, an insult.

VarMa was a diplomat tasked with finding a compromise with heretics. This was a setup to convict them of heresy, as they’d been displaying heavy sympathy towards fugitives- being the naturally compassionate person they are. The ploy worked, as they once again showed empathy over conformity, and they were taken into custody for their treason.

YiYa was a schoolteacher whose lessons became radical. She was passionate about cultivating new members of society and at first, was very on board with the lessons of conformity she’d been conditioned to teach. But she began to encourage free thinking and creativity. This would be YiYa’s downfall.

ZokZah started a cult.

Honestly...I just want to know more of your Ekt/Ayuk headcanons.

So it’s entirely plausible that that urge to write more of them I was talking about struck and in the meantime have some nasty old lovebird headcanons!

SkekEkt and skekAyuk started up a relationship back when the Skeksis were newly split, they were both young and pretty, and life was good for everyone on Thra. They had a very fluffy little courtship built on a solid foundation of food porn; skekAyuk didn’t strictly find his way to skekEkt’s heart through his stomach, but the swothel cheese on thin biscuits certainly didn’t hurt his case.

All the Skeksis used to love dancing together, but these two were particularly showy; lots of leaping and suggestive tangling and use of those flashy ornamental fans the Skeksis used to like so much.

Since it would be kind of an ordeal for them to kiss conventionally, most of their methods of showing affection are very birdy in nature. Lots of rubbing beaks, lots of this but usually slowed down considerably, and plenty of this. Obligatory reminder that real life vultures are gorgeous and endangered.

Their relationship technically has roots that predate them both, as EktUtt and AyukAmaj had a small mutual crush that they never acted on. UrUtt and urAmaj opt to run with this interpretation of their feelings for one another, while SkekEkt and skekAyuk vehemently reject it – they chose each other and their experiences are theirs. For the record, both stances are valid.

They’re much older and meaner now, but their adoration for each other is unchanged; they’re still smack stupid in love and each still finds the other sexy as hell. And while the days when it was safe to rub beaks in the hall and lounge around in each other’s arms smelling the incense are long over, everyone in the castle knows you don’t come between the Gourmand and the Ornamentalist. Their bond is mostly private, matter of fact, and without debate.

These days they like to spend any free time that comes their way gossiping, bitching, loudly overreacting, and indulging in their mutually mean sense of humor. Even before essence intoxication drove everyone off the deep end, they liked to be shitty to the Podlings because they found it hilarious.

SkekAyuk snores. SkekEkt hogs the blankets. It all works out.

They make up 2/3rds of the “big queer artisans” arm of the Skeksis along with skekOk (skekLi, being absent, doesn’t count.) SkekEkt and skekAyuk know jack all about each other’s trades, but take a great deal of pride in one another’s accomplishments.

Even after all this time, their love is jealous and possessive. SkekAyuk’s of the opinion that skekOk wants under skekEkt’s robes and would just as happily force feed him his own glasses, and despite being friends with skekOk, skekEkt finds this wonderfully charming and healthy.

SkekAyuk bellies are the most comfortable thing in the castle. It’s fact.

SkekAyuk values comfort over flair which makes him a hard Skeksis to dote on, but you’d better believe he wears the thickest, most comfortable socks during the winter ninets. His day to day robes, under all the usual Skeksis flair, are basically pajamas.

SkekEkt’s hair is a wild mess in the morning and after he takes a bath, which he considers a catastrophe and a terrible burden for anyone to bear. SkekAyuk finds it adorable.

SkekEkt, despite coming across as a big Nelly bottom…yeah no, he’s totally a big Nelly bottom. But they switch it up every now and then and you’ll know when they do because that’s when SkekAyuk sleeps in, takes a long bath, and has the podlings serve sweet rolls for breakfast.

SkekAyuk gives the best hand massages, which is very much appreciated by certain Ornamentalists after a long day of sewing and less so by the other denizens of the castle, who get to experience the joy of skekEkt loudly moaning his head off in between exclamations of skekAyuk’s virtues.
