[After skekSil leaves]

SkekUng: I hate him!

SkekGra: Well, it's a beginning. Something to build on.

SkekUng: He says he can't live without me, and then he lets me go. I love him, but he's infuriating.

SkekGra: You just said you hated him. Which is it?

SkekUng: Both.

i absolutely LOVED listening to this when it aired live!! if you missed it, you can check out the entire show here.

This mix showcases the music from a small tribe living in the foothills of the Himalayas. Their genesis begins from a great boulder called Sinlung, possibly in the present Tailing or Silung of Yunan Province of today’s China. Starting off as a semi nomadic group of hunter/cultivators moving through Myanmar, and various pockets of the northeast India and a majority of the settlers in Tuithaphai, Manipur- The Hmar tribe is a group whose entire history has been a constant state of diaspora. Their music is heavily dictated by the lack of a script- passing down their stories through oral sounds. Almost every circumstance within the community has a story in songs to back it up. The mix starts off with the hunters call- a special song given to each Hunter, a victory hymn (Sikpui Hla) and some snippets of the melodious intonations of our spoken language. Throughout the mix- we see the contrasts between pre and post colonial Hmar Tribe, and how the eventual conversion into Christianity brings change in their sounds with nods to hymnody, protest folk, gospel, rockabilly, new wave, and 90's pop. Songs from the Hmar/Mizo heartlands that people from almost every generation can recall, despite its diminished stature in context of mainland India the musical prowess stands ingenously tall. Presently with the civil war that has been brewing in Manipur since May 2023 which almost all media outlets have refused to cover or amplify. I hope this mix serves as a vessel to remind us of a more peaceful time for the tribals before the threat of uprootment and forced displacement from the one place we thought we could call our home.

💘 Dark Crystal

I must be part of the only 3-4 people who ship ShodOk. I had shipped it even before seeing the movie in a piece of fanart by SkekLa on DA (which she sadly now deleted because she actually shipped none of the ships depicted in that comic page and had drawn them there for friends and was tired to repeat it over and over ; same page that had me ship EktAyuk and SilUng in fact !). Back then SkekOk was a secondary Skeksis and even if the lore did hint he was more or less already a little gossipy shit (knows for SkekSil's hate for SkekLach in the manga and chats with SkekUng about the Emperor dying in the Marvel comics), it wasn't as blatant as AOR yet, but he still was that introverted evil nerdy librarian and the smallest of the bunch, and SkekShod, taller so size differences, was another introverted evil nerd focusing just like him on his own task, treasury, but as rarely as he talked and as damaged as his brain had been when he talks it is always the right amount of sass (owing him his head bash) or truth to it. They were so similar so could relate far from all the vainless agitation, size difference ftw, intellectual talks and IQs since one is lettered and the other an economist therefore a good match, and again that piece of fanart in particular was very cute. Now that with AOR we see that SkekOk is actually an extraverted gossipy sassy mean girl who just passes as a nerd at first glance because he has nerdy tastes, it even adds a new layer, them being the same (and the AOR prequel comics show SkekShod as being the king of roasting and being a sassy Karen Gordon Ramsay so a NEW common point !) yet complementary at the same time, we can now imagine the smaller Skeksis with glasses who does already overwork himself trying to have the taller and quieter one to take a break when himself think about taking one and just having fun, so not too much of a contrast for SkekShod to be overwhelmed and comfortable and enough similarities for both of them to understand each other, and enough differences for completing each other, SkekOk bringing him out of his shell to think about other things than money and his trauma and SkekShod being the one person SkekOk doesn't think about spreading mean gossips about therefore bringing the best out of each other

That, plus how to me SkekOk and SkekLach really had a bond that did not feel like old married couple vibes to me at all unlike the whole fandom saw it but roasting BFFs (one of my best friends ever and I love to shit on each other for fun knowing we don't mean it and it gave me these vibes) is one of the reasons why I just can't ship OkLach

[i-like-sticks]

I know your answer already but SilUng XD

And my answer remains the same about this ship

No shame to anyone who likes it. Not my place to judge or say for you all on what to do. You're all free to enjoy whatever ship you want. It's just not my cup of tea

Jemplang lewang lagu urang

Meujeuhna peuting keur jempling, sada kacapi mangkat kana jejemplangan. Peuting nu haliwu ngadadak simpé baganti ku tingtrimna sora-sora kamelang nu bedah tina penembang. Narangtang jemplang minangka pamuka laju nété ka jemplang titi, unggah ka jemplang pangantén, teu kungsi lila naék kana jemplang cidadap. Reureuh heula ku panambih, kantenan nambih karingrang, sok sieun silung lebah jemplang pamirig lantaran ati geus teu bisa ngiringkeun deui pupundén ati. Moal rék ogoan ngan cimata teu baé balilihan. Rék nyegruk dina jemplang ceurik, pupuasan namplokeun kakangen, da kapanan jemplang serang mah puguh rumpakana seseblakan. Tapi puguh dina ngabandungan jejemplangan anu hamo kakantun nya éta batin urang nu ngalagu, ngahariring lagu ketir lantaran asih urang teu kungsi tepi kana madakeun kawatesan ku hahalang. Enya lagu urang téa, jemplang lewang. Lantaran tali asih kahalangan ku genyas nu katambias.

SilUng

When I started shipping it if I did:

It was from the very first moment I watched the film. I’m a sucker for rival x rival. Also, how can you not ship them when the first thing Ung orders as emperor is to strip his rival down naked?

My Thoughts:

Again, it is one of those ships that you have to kinda accept is somewhat toxic, which if done correctly can be interesting. Rivals to lovers (or lovers to rivals) are always fun to play around with. What made them hate each other? Was it always like this or did something happen? I never read any of the books so I just assume the hatred wasn’t always like this. And more importantly, while the others couldn’t stand Skeksil, SkekUng’s hatred seemed more personal.

What makes me happy about them:

I think what makes me happy is that, regardless of if you ship them as lovers or exes, there is enough material to where humor can play. If I want Skeksil to call Ung a piece of shit, it is in character whether or not they are a couple. For most ships, there’s this idea that it has to be perfect or pure. But with these two, especially with the fact they are skeksis, you can dive into that bickering married couple vibe.

What makes me sad about them:

What makes them sad is that they are tragic. Either way you want to look at it there was probably a point to where they were happy and now they are old angry creatures who screwed each other over so badly that the hate boils deep.

Things done in fanfic that annoys me: 

Honestly, of all the fics I’ve read about them is pretty good. Again, their relationship doesn’t have to be perfect and wholesome. If the fic is about how abusive the relationship is then it’s valid. It is a toxic ship. And to have fics that have that as the selling point is perfect. It would be VERY hard to screw up a fic about these two.

Things I look for in fanfic:

Something I do enjoy is when the fic makes an effort to show that both of them are flawed. If Ung uses his strength to assert himself then Sil would use his cunning and words. Sometimes I do like to see Ung having a bit more power, but nevertheless having both parties be in the wrong is interesting to read.

Who I’d be comfortable with them ending up with, if not each other:

My close friends already know this. Skeksil ending up with Var, Mal, or Tek is always a plus for me. Ung, however, I can only imagine with Tek. That’s only because I’m too pea-brained to remember everyone and I haven’t picked up the books to learn more out of pure laziness. 

My happily ever after for them:

This one is hard, cause for most ships happily ever after is them getting together and living their lives. But we know that the Skeksis ending is tragic. Their existence is tragic. I can only say that a halfway happy ending is them having hatchlings together. But only if their relationship is a bit stable. 

Who is the big spoon/little spoon:

We know for a damn fact SkekSil is a little spoon. 

What is their favorite non-sexual activity:

You ever have roast sessions with your friends? Imagine that but with more death threats.

Being an asshole and hmmming are hereditary.

Lun and Lura are older than their brothers also their sire is Sil. Lun is the siren while Lura is the Primadonna. They both love singing and would often compete with each other in their shows. Lura wants attention and detests if Lun gains more fans than her. The two find their brothers to be annoying.

They hate each other with Lura the one mostly insulting her sister. Lun would snarl at her and threaten her, not caring about their bond.

I think I'll rename urLu to be urLou or urOsu, not sure yet.

Suo and Lu are the lil bastards that Sil gave life to. They're destructive and hyperactive. The brothers get along great with each other much to the dismay of everyone else. Lu tries to be like his mom Sil but he has a lot to learn as he often offers the wrong advice. He often trails behind urDei, So/Var urru who he idolizes and wants him to be the next emperor.

Suo serves with skekNox, So/Var skeksis who is basically the warrior. Suo is the commander while his brother is the advisor.

Thank you @kaijukian for the title suggestions of Advisor and Commander, that's really cool.

So they are the 2 main villains from the obscure 2005 French movie Le Roman de Renart, the wolf is Ysengrin, loud, violent and angry captain of the royal guards and the donkey is Chancellor Bernard, cunning, manipulative and corrupt politician wanting to be king. Ysengrin is unofficially his henchman doing as he is ordered to and despite being much lower hierarchically calls him with "tu" (since you learnt a bit of French you know what it means) and can put him in his place as much as the other does, they are essentially equals tired of each other's shit thinking they are smarter than each other just with Bernard being officially the boss. Negative : they betray each other (Ysengrin deciding to keep for himself the McGuffin Bernard wanted, later Bernard once he is arrested denouncing Ysengrin to be arrested too, and after that they throw hands on each other Ysengrin starting it), Bernard does hit him 3 times the 3 times he particularily irritated him (and Ysengrin doesn't seem to mind much each of them, he even smirks at one of them, while when his wife beats him he is terrified in contrast) and Ysengrin would be an adulterer since he is married (though in an unhappy marriage with an abusive wife). Positive, despite the tension and hostily they have the same cruel humor and oppressive morals, are conniving and VERY touchy, Bernard keeps his promise to reward him with lots of gold, Ysengrin seems to calm down just by his presence (betrayal in the end aside), Bernard is never scared when Ysengrin is furious and yells at him no matter how much his fangs are bare, Bernard does allow him to be familiar to him without sending him to jail with "tu" or badmouthing him in return (even pushing him, or when later when he keeps his McGuffin for himself he doesn't order him to be killed or anything after that) for some reason, and a nitpick but Bernard and Ysengrin's wife both have the same eye color which could imply he has a type. Also they remind me of a mix of SilUng and cartoon!DevilDice dynamic wise, and I do love the "angry manly X collected effeminate" dynamic contrast. My personal HC : they are bitter exes with benefits who repress feelings that remained out of pride and anger

You had me at fucked-upedness, you had me at the fact that one of these characters is a classy effeminate donkey who's also the villain, but the ultimate selling point is that this fandom seems to consist of you and literally no one else and after Hazbin that's exactly the kind of isolated, discourse-free, disappointment-free experience I need to feel safe again, thank you.

Going out into the wild seems to take longer than coming back. I always thought it was because here, leaving the city always seems to require going up a mountain. Climbing Beichatianshan, river tracing up the waterfalls to Golden Grotto, or even just the shorter trips nearby are always uphill. I wonder if it’s something more.

We went to Silung hot springs a couple hours outside the city, just past the camp site on the river I went to last year in Dongyanshan Forest. It was a small camp site down a very steep trail, but it was all downhill. It seemed to take an hour to get to the site, then longer to get to the hot springs. It was relaxing. Could have been hotter, and the river water was like ice, but it was what I needed that week.

Leaving, seemed to only take ten minutes. It seemed like we were so far from the world, but we must have been just outside of where the cars on the road could be heard. The forest is always a world apart. I don’t love it the way 10 Minutes does, hunting for animals with his camera and wandering the jungles of the world, but I find peace there that is much more rare than in the city.

Coming back, we stopped for coffee, for fresh mountain vegetables, and for a traditional lunch. There was some debate on whether to go to Zoozoo Pizza and Steak, which might be awesome in NYC, but on a mountain in Taiwan is probably asking for disappointment. In the end, it would have been a strange contrast to our escape from the world, so we stopped at a random local restaurant and shared half a dozen dishes from the menu.

It’s getting cold here, not enough to freeze but there is a consistency about it that becomes painful after a while. I miss having heat indoors, and I’m grateful to go to work where the building is almost always too warm. I only have a couple weeks left there, and I know I’ll miss my classes. They are the reason I consider staying, even if that’s not an option at this point. Even if I stay, my work wouldn’t be the same.

The Peace Corps always seems to be on the edge of completion. I’m fat, and every time I see a new doctor they want to check my thyroid. I used to hope that there was a medical condition that caused it, but I just love junk food and hate exercise. A decade of practice has moved my feelings to like and dislike, but stress, cold, and exhaustion still drive me to junk food faster than I can fight it.

A few more days and I should be done. If that fails, I don’t know what I’ll do. Maybe I’ll come back to Taiwan, spend a couple years paying off my student loans. Maybe I’ll stay jobless and travel a bit. Maybe I’ll just reapply for the Peace Corps and see where that takes me.

There have been minor abnormalities with my test results, and I’m far more worried about losing the Peace Corps than I am about my health. It could be something, it’s probably nothing, and more than likely I’ll be fine, but I’ve learned what happens when I get too attached to a single possibility.

There is no way to know what direction the wind will take me. I know I’m not done traveling, and I always love the beginnings of any story best. In the beginning, there are endless possibilities. As the story runs its course, the possibilities fall away, and the story ends. It’s rare for the ending to be as satisfying as all those paths that were cut off along the way.

The Herald is the only storyteller I know that can consistently produce that feeling of possibility as the story unfolds, but that is the nature of roleplaying games. I have played many roles, and I’ll play many more, but without the Herald, I have to keep looking for the possibilities myself.

That is the difference between the game and life. A game always has solutions, and we are capable of finding them. Life offers you unlimited potential, but you never know if what you practice will ever be what you need to know.

Reflection Going out into the wild seems to take longer than coming back. I always thought it was because here, leaving the city always seems to require going up a mountain.

Couple of Human AU art dumps.

1.)Drawing Ambassador SkekVar and General Skekvar

2.) Couple of sleepy Silung human drawings... because I can’t stop drawing them.

3.) Skekgra the Conqueror is going through a lot of realizations and perhaps guilt...

4.)The tables have turned... smol gelfing now towers over the smol skeksis bois.

I just thought it be funny if Rian is on the hit list of a small compact bounty hunter. Mal maybe smaller than Rian, but he is not less of a threat. While Sil is wise to keep his distance from Rian. Rian can and will beat Sil up...

For your captain Jaskier pirate AU, I am fully aware he is very competent and that is fantastic. However. I just listened to "Hoist up the thing" and that silung by Jaskier as a captain would just be. Very funny. If you want it to be a prompt of some sort, maybe how he started out? But mainly what happened was I listened to the song and thought of you and your AUs

I listened to that song and it was HILARIOUS so thank you for sending me this ask!

Jaskier was definitely still a dumbass college grad when he got the position as Captain but it’s definitely because he staged a very clever mutiny and learned how to be a good Captain along the way. I like the way you think, I love this song, and I’d bet good money that Jaskier forgot what to call things for a solid month after winning the vote (did you know most pirate crews were democracies? amazing).
