#Vapra

I have always head-cannoned that each of the different clans would have different wing types but I never really sketched them out too much until now!

I will now go into why I made them the way they are, read if you dare •_•

Spriton: felt like the speedy and strong combo fit them pretty well so of course we had to go with the dragonfly-like wings.

Drenchen: pretty standard from the books here, more fin than wing as they’re meant to be used in the water more than air

Stonewood: these guys always reminded me of your stereotypical moth for some reason, maybe it’s because they hang out in the forest flocking around this one really big light but hey that’s just me.

Grottan: speedy and good at turning since they’ve gotta navigate all those tight spaces in the caves. Which, speaking of caves, there aren’t really a whole lot of flying cave bugs to go off of for this so we’re just gonna say that since the Grottans are sister clans to the Vapra they’ve evolved from there.

Vapra: since their mascot is the unamoth I wanted to use similar wing shapes and combined it with a comet moth. They’ve very pretty wings what can I say. They are easily the biggest wings out of the other 7 clans, with Grottan or Sifa in a close second.

Dousan: the smallest wings out of the bunch since the Dousan might not fly on their own as much considering the hot hot sun and the use of crystal skimmers for transport. They’ve got the little wing-tassel bits cause I feel like it would fit their vibe.

Sifa: since the Sifa are kind of the melting pot of all the clans I wanted their wings to be a bit of everything, the top wing shape and size from the Grottan, Vapra, and spriton, with the wing tassel things from the Dousan, the bottom wing shape from the Stonewood, and some webbing(?) connecting the wings together from the Drenchen (they’re out on the water a lot, who says they aren’t water comparable?). Essentially they are a mess. Wings can change depending on if they are related more to one clan than another, and they are by far the most varied wings out of all 7 clans.

AND THAT IS ALL I AM NOW GOING TO BED GOODNIGHT EVERYONE.

A Gelfling of the Vapra Clan, Veelahi is a castle guard who always dreamed of ambitious positions. A curious girl, Veelahi's thirst for the truth often got her into trouble back home in Ha'rar; in the Castle of the Crystal, that curiosity was seldom tolerated and often resulted in a punishment worse than the loss of her rank: guard duty outside a door forbidden to be open by all but the Lords of the Crystal. Until one day when the door was opened from the inside, and the person she met would change her attitude for good...

Another amazing commission from @harchibudytgorichi! Featuring my newest Dark Crystal OC! Working on a fic for her that I'll start posting to AO3 whenever I finish the first chapter!

Ordon/Mayrin discussion

Small trigger warning for this discussion: talking ab parental abuse or the perception of it in the show/among the fanbase.

So in the show, do you guys see Ordon/Mayrin as abusive? I’ve spoken to some who do and honestly I just don’t see it out of the sliver of characterization we get for both (and I promise not just bc Ordon is my favorite). Like oh no he yelled at Rian when he was literally stealing and wasn’t overly affectionate what a tragedy /s. I guess you could say it’s about what he yelled, but though that wasn’t cool, it was also at work to be fair to him. If we saw him do it at home that’s a completely different story but we don’t. I’m also disregarding Rian’s “solider” line because unlike Mayrin and Seladon it sounds to be more of a feeling Rian had than it having any substantial proof such as Ordon saying so himself OUTSIDE OF WORK! Fr I see it a lot more for Mayrin since yeah she is super bad to Seladon, but she genuinely cares about her daughters a substantial amount just like Ordon. She regrets sending Tavra, properly punishes Brea, even tries to make Seladon a better ruler where she can and they hold each other accountable a lot.

Yeah, they have flaws (more than most gelfs we see), but Ordon personally leaves the guard in order to find Rian and hopefully heal him. When both learn the Skeksis are evil, they try to fight back. Idk calling them abusive to me seems a bit much, I’d classify more as misguided but if anyway has any opinions lmk what you guys think/see them as. For me atm they aren’t abusive even within a wide stretch of the imagination.

IMMA FORCE MYSELF OUT OF THAT ARTBLOCK AND POST THE LAST AND ONLY SUBMISSION OF JULY (I DID ANOTHER BUUUUT OUT OF SUPERSTITION WILL POST IT TOMORROW. YOU'LL GET WHY)

And what better way now I'm back in the TDC fandom than my favorite underrated Gelfling, the Lord Commander from the sequel comics ! Well at least his fan rewritten version, Jarra, fanon rewritten as Jen and Kira's son, because the wasted potentials and undervelopped ideas still make me salty lol so recently, with @dracocheesecake we discussed that Gelfling hair are rarely unicolor. I had drawb him plain platinum blonde, like how I used to see who I HC to be his grandaunt Brea, but it turns out even she has lavender strands in the back. So we discussed what colors to give him with all these various genes (Vapra, Drenchen, Sifa, Stonewood and Grottan), and because they return the post we chose green and white/silver. So here he is with a few silvery strands and a green highlight in the back. Also another excuse to draw him barechested in his DILF glory

Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas!!

I made these a few weeks ago before I went full throttle with the big Gelfling oc project. Just some happy couples in winter sweaters lol

The first is the sweet Adora x Takoda ship! Aaahhh they’re too precious. I can’t wait to draw more of them because there’s a bunch to explore.

The second is Tau and Enyo who I believe are more flirting with each other. They’re interested in one another but neither has made a move to deepen the bond to a romantic one. Tau was originally going to have a beefy Dousan boyfriend because my sister demanded it lol Buut I feel like Tau is interested more in pretty softer featured Gelfling.

Enyo is on her road to becoming a better Gelfling. Some time after Fleur leaves Stone-in-the-wood is when Enyo explores Thra and begins rethinking certain beliefs her parents taught her. Fleur 100% calls Enyo out when she sees Enyo dating someone who isn’t Stonewood. Enyo’s growth is another story to be told.

We might see more Tau x Enyo because I think they look cute lol

Lastly, we have the Stonesan parents Maeve x Bhihaar! I love them and they are that married couple who is just so happy to be married and unafraid of PDA. I believe the PDA took some time for Bhihaar to get use to but he enjoys holding Maeve’s hands and pecking her cheek in public. Maeve on the other hand is unashamed- she loves her man and boy does she have a good man 😆

I have another set but I just haven’t finished it yet, so be prepared to see that in time

Day 6: Royalty

For Day 6 of the @dark-crystal-week challenge, I drew a personal favorite royal of mine. I remember when I saw Tavra for the first time and thinking about how brave and kind she was, the latter especially for her sisters. She was the voice of reason for them, and sacrificed herself to keep them safe in the end of things.

She had the heart of a princess, but the soul of a warrior.

TDC Halloween AU

Ordon is the type of dad to strictly give out one piece per childling you can’t convince me otherwise

Laesid and Bellanji like to just leave the bowl out (Naia always steals it early into the night before anyone else can get it.)

Mayrin will just make the butler do it, or Seladon if she doesn’t make her take her sisters.

Skeksis usually can’t be bothered to give out candy, but when they do, they make the poddling do it and usually SkekAyuk likes to put in gross ingredients (make some candy spicey or cause burping, that sorta thing.)

Rian likes to gather all the kids who are either his friends or like to get a lot of candy and delegate them to maximize profits and all get the most candy for all of them. The older kids like Tolyn and Gurjin are sent to take them trick or treating to keep them in line, Tolyn does but Gurjin turns his eyes away or joins in.

Kylan has to remind everyone to play civil and most of the night breaks up other childling arguing over trading. He does it so much that often Tolyn has to ask for candy for his brother since Kylan is always too busy with making sure no one fights to get candy.

Juni’s house is the most popular on the block as they not only put up spooky decorations but give out full sized candy bars.

Brea likes to look up facts about the candy companies or candy in general and tell everyone as they’re getting it.

Tavra dislikes candy, but goes out to spend time with her sisters, always giving up her candy to Seladon who she knows loves candy even though she denies it.

The librarian tells stories to childling who come up to his door, often his house getting avoided as while they are spooky, they take up a lot of time.

Cadia lives across the street and does the same thing. Who’s ever trick or treaters leaves the door last wins. They try to one up each other, both having the best candy in the neighborhood and trying to get Rian to come to their door as he’s the town’s poster childling tricker treater. He never goes to either though since Ordon tells him not to and it’d be a time waster.

Deet reminds everyone not to give candy to any animals. Also brings treats of her own in case kids can’t eat candy they’re given due to health issues.

Deet’s dads don’t like giving out candy since it can exclude kids so they give out stuffed animals instead.

Rek’yr throws a party for all the adults at night. Most go to discuss the night’s events, kid’s costumes, decorations, though Mayrin and Ordon skip out to spend time with family while the rest of the adults go.

Maudra Argot is said to be a “wild child” at said parties.

Maudra Mera bakes cookies from scratch for trick or treaters.

SkekMal will take one childling per Halloween and childling are told not to go near the forest. It’s why big kids are forced to watch after the younger ones (even though some would rather be studying or going to the big party on the block).

That’s it! Give me some recs for anyone I missed ^^
