“I sometimes stumble, during my daily tours of the Castle, on the Scientist, murmuring within himself of a new project or a way to impress our wise Emperor. Oftentimes I’m not the only one listening in, as the Chamberlain is always close by, as rats often do, ready to take advantage of any useful information the Scientist might procure him. If I was any bit like my friend the Catacombs Keeper I would reprimand that rat, but I lack the will and the political power to do so. SkekNyx takes care of it anyway, she’s very protective over her associates.”
-SkekPik the Court Painter

SkekTek: I'm playing a new drinking game. It's called "every time I'm depressed, take a drink."
SkekSa: That game already exists. It's called alcoholism.

Further Lore About SkekEz The Poet
He wears a monocle framed in gold and won’t go anywhere without it. Rumor has it that he is slowly becoming blind in one eye.
SkekTek once bombarded him with a syringe claiming he needed “medicine”. Now he goes out of his way to declare how ‘non-sick’ he is whenever the scientist shows up.
He’s quite the glutton. While other Skeksis are having second helpings, he’s having his fifth.
SkekEz loves messing with SkekEkt the Ornamentalist, purposely freaking him out with eerie ghost stories. Once SkekEkt got so spooked he shrieked at the sight of his own reflection. SkekEz conveniently published a poem about an evil spirit dwelling in a mirror the following day.
SkekUng despises SkekEz, often comparing him to SkekSil. The chamberlain is somehow both flattered and offended by this.
SkekEz often does incredibly strange and stupid things to achieve “inspiration” for his writing. Once such incident involved him going AWOL for several days. Nobody in the castle could find him and the Skeksis all began freaking out, with some worrying that he had kicked the bucket. Eventually, however, they found him hiding in a secret passage behind the pantry, hungry and slightly delirious. He wanted “to capture the spirit of what it means to be a lone Arathim”.

It's a rebirth of SkekHak or SkekYi made with magic and science starting with the bones and internal organs forming and covering everything with the muscle tissues and the skin at the end while he's incubating inside SkekTek

On my first watch of Age of Resistance I wondered why everyone treated the Scientist so poorly when he is probably the single most important Skeksis in the Castle.
And on later watches, I realized that’s the point.
He is truly indispensable and if he and the other Skeksis realized that, he’d be a threat to the Emperor’s power.
So he’s treated as essential and also as a figure of mockery. He’s relied on but not respected. Except maybe as lip service.
Very similar to some jobs in our world.

Skektember 1 : the colleague
Ok this year I tried to leave my artblock by doing Skektember for the first time ! Sadly it didn't truly work because even though I drew all 10 prompts made by SkekLa, I was sooo "blocked" it took me veeeery long to sketch and ink them and now I wouldn't ever have the time to color so even if I had planned to well black and white with red pen at times it is. This year's theme was having TDC OCs (or just one the whole time more) interacting with canon Skeksis according to 10 prompts, so 10 canon Skeksis with an OC whose relationship fits the day's prompt. The thing is I have most of my OCs, ESPECIALLY Skeksis, only in mine and @dracocheesecake's Natives AU, because since in canon there were only 18 UrSeks sent on Thra, so a precise number, I never felt like making more or it would contradict (sure I do rewrite or ignore some canon or semicanon trivias but this one is important to the worldbuilding and lore so I can't). So a good opportunity to draw characters from that AU either again or for a first time !
We start with SkekTek and his colleague, SkekLoom the Doctor, co-created with Draco. In canon, SkekTek isn't a doctor but does a doctor job despite not being a real expert at that (he does a shit job diagnosing SkekMal), he does science he doesn't heal that's not his job. In the AU, no need for these distractions from his work, SkekLoom is the one who heals everyone, diagnoses, helps delivering Skeklings etc. And he is treated as much as shit if not more as SkekTek since unlike him he isn't even a courtier and is taken for even more granted than SkekTek who even if treated like shit for being a commoner still did contribute to the empire with his inventions keeping him trapped in his illusions to be respected and recognized again. SkekLoom in fact is always gloomy and Squidward mode, even barely aknowledged by anyone, so why hoping for more ? He hates his life. But at least he and SkekTek are on cordial terms. Not friends, but 2 Skeksis of the same background and of a form of science. They both studied anatomy, and can in fact exchange their works and discuss observations they made on dead prisonners or slaves after an autopsy to help their fields progress and know more. At least someone does value their work, each think
