I'll be 90 years old and still mad that Netflix canceled Dark Crystal 2019 series

im trying so hard to be normal about this show I really am im really not judging it over-harshly due to being a purist or anything. its just really shit in ways that I don’t excuse in any media I watch. i wouldn’t sit through this if it were not atla

also i can’t get over the dark crystal show getting cancelled, it makes every mediocre cash-grab netflix churns out all the more worse. my god that shit was beautiful. for a brief shining moment we had practical sfx blended with minimal cgi in a perfect harmony of craftsmanship and storytelling that elevated the source material. and then the late stage capitalism attacked

I actually like the One Piece manga (pls forgive me 😔) but I could not give less of a shit about the live action Netflix adaptation (I would sooner be in solitary confinement for a week with nothing to eat but my arm than watch it) and the advertising is so annoying, get the freaky clown off my dash.

#like genuine question are people actually excited for it? #like if you are thats cool #but idk live action anime+ netflix is just a disaster waiting to happen #they cant even produce good anime-anime (not live action) #tdc rambles

Was Dark Crystal Age of Resistance ever released on DVD? There’s been so much talk of Netflix losing money and potentially shutting down with all of its original content simply vanishing, I’m worried AoR will disappear with no way to watch it.

There's currently no DVD or digital copies available for AOR, but I'm sure there will be in the future.

And don't worry about that: AOR will NEVER disappear. Very likely scenario, if Netflix does crash and burn (which might not happen, mind you, even if they're doing shit right now) Henson can either buy the rights back or it's given to them automatically. I'm no lawyer, but I'm sure they still have the rights to their characters they just can't use them to continue the AOR story. Might be something similar to the ownership mumbo jumbo with the Muppets.

And in the very unlikely scenario that Henson doesn't get the rights back for AOR and there's no way to watch it legitimately, there are already pirated versions out there in the wild (including HD versions). In this digital age, people are gonna record and archive stuff. It's very hard for something that has a pretty strong fanbase (even as small as the TDC fandom) to let something big like that slip away.

Either way, we will always have AOR.

AND it WON AN EMMY AWARD for BEST CHILDREN'S PROGRAM i am still upset they cancelled it they ended it on the worst cliffhanger but it's just i love it so much!!! and it is so *clutches head* and the. i don't even know man i just need more people to see it i can't explain it it's like. people make fun of it for being puppets or are doubtful that they will be able to get invested but NO. u get hooked from the get go and if not, then at least the second episode! and it's so well written and the characters are so lovable and kind and funny and just the fantasy thing that i needed in my life, and the MUSIC is so good and the bloopers are fucking hilarious and everyone loved working on it so much and u can just Feel It i miss this show so much. my desperation from having no netflix pooling on the floor rn

AHHHHHHH it sounds very very cool and anyone who disses puppets is Stupid they are just another medium for storytelling!! and thats a ramble for another day cos im abt to go have dinner but! look i got into freakin minecraft roleplay. and the play i'm in currently just has SUCH cool uses of acting, archetypes, historical theater (cuz its an adaption of a 17th century play but. still), set, using Unconventional Things to tell a story and Emphasizing those.... puppets are SUCH a cool medium for storytelling !!!! like if u look at the muppets right. wasnt there some story abt how they were rly confused cuz during filming some of kermit's lines the mic quality was awful and then they realized that they put the mic on the puppet. i definitely saw that on tumblr if i didnt make it up so take w a grain of salt but like! puppets arent super versatile in terms of facial expressions but when used properly they feel very human and the emotions n stuff comes through regardless and. and. look i just think that Different Mediums of Telling A Story ,,,,, its so cool the different ways we can bring a story to life and how the medium affects it

so i guess that awas a ramnle for today after all. got to go to dinner now but !! hopeyou are well tdc sounds very cool & i enjoy hearing about it :D

A/N: Please keep in mind , I’ve only experienced the TDC Netflix series alongside whatever snippets of information other people have provided about the novels.  My overarching knowledge is not vast , but as long as you don’t mind having patience filling in the blanks , please accept my tribute.  There’s a lot here , though !  Under a cut for the sake of saving everyone’s dashes.

General Information

The world , or rather the realm , Kaen comes from is simply referred to as “THE WYRD” .  The Wyrd is made up of several eclectic species ; an assortment of fae-like creatures ( the commonwealth known to kaen simply as the Folk ) , great daemons who make their home in the Outer-Wilds , and scatterings of other foreign beasts nestled ‘tween.  Much of The Wyrd is WILDERNESS , townships and clans make their homes in the midst of lush biomes or harrowing mires and ancient grottos rife with ruins.  There are oceans , and there are frozen territories.  But the majority is overcome by thriving nature.  At the heart is the Citadel , wherewithin resides the pantheon ( consider it similar to mount olympus ) .  When mentioning “The Wyrd” in conversation , Kaen is often referring not solely to the realm but its people ; “The Wyrd” is very much a generalized , all-encompassing term.

A note on The Wyrd’s pantheon: Very paganistic ; Cernunnos is considered the central God ( an all-father , if you will ) from which all Lesser Gods supposedly came.  Cernunnos , in context , has much of his legend lost to the ages.  Cernunnos is AN ETERNAL FIGURE , although able to be felled , it is assured that he will eventually rise come the following Spring.  The function of the pantheon is to oversee / maintain the balance of The Wyrd and its people ( which , of course , is never a fool-proof science ) .

Cernunnos is very , very , very old.  He has seen many a tide come and go from The Wyrd.  Although still rather powerful - terrifyingly so - he found it in himself to turn the mantle over to an heir … Enter his ONLY CHILD , Kaen.

Kaen is what you would call a Faun ; a creature who is both deer-like and human-like in appearance.  The Council sees very little value in Kaen , discrediting them and dismissing them.  Even their father is not so easily appeased , acting less like a father and more an authoritarian who dictates their rites in preparation for overtaking the god-seat.

Kaen is often underestimated and misjudged based solely on THEIR APPEARANCE ; looking and speaking rather sweetly , being quite kind - standing as an antithesis to their force of nature for a father.  Kaen , however , has earned many credits for being exemplary in combat , mystic arts and magic , and other such skills.  But still , with their father keeping them confined to a gilded cage , barely allowing them many freedoms beyond their studies in the Citadel , the godling often feels TRAPPED & PURPOSELESS which has led to many , many troublesome rebellions in the several hundred years of their lifetime.

Much of this storyline revolves around Kaen at last defying their father , proving their worth , and having their potential come to fruition for something well-worth fighting for ( that is , by lending their strength to the gelfling’s cause ) .  Whether they DIE TRYING , is another matter entirely.

Some Tidbits

The Wyrd believe HEAVILY in Fate or destiny ( nothing is left to chance, barely anything is seen as mere coincidence - most especially matters of the heart ) ; often referring to this by proxy of “threads” some more perceptive Folk are able to quite literally see ( lit. “the threads of Fate” ; “your threads have brought us together” ; “her thread is frayed, she is not long for this world”, etc. ).  Kaen is just such an individual , being ascribed as having a mystic’s SIGHT which has both allotted them many blessings and curses in their time.

Kaen’s native tongue is similar to Gaelic ( “god-speak” according to the Folk ) , when voicing it aloud it sounds half-sung , half-spoken.

Per their father , Kaen is also the god of the cyclical nature of life , death and rebirth , as well as sex and fertility ; they’ve a strong connection to wild things , hunting , strength and passion.  Kaen is intrinsically connected to The Wyrd ; in essence , they ARE The Wyrd just as their father is.  As time progresses , their connection with Thra cultivates in the same manner : because of their nature as a god , they become innately in-tune with Thra itself and its creatures.

Kaen makes for a natural performer ; they love music and musicality is a valuable trait in The Wyrd.

Important Names

Drachmah - Kaen’s family soothsayer, someone they trust and rely on dearly.

Allyra - Kaen’s appointed guardswoman and eventual lover ( deceased ) .  In the beginning Allyra confessed to Kaen she despised them and would rather be working to protect any of the other god-children.  Much of their romance is centric to the two of them bonding overtime ; a slow-burn as they realize neither are what they seem , and Kaen finds their way into Allyra’s heart.  The two were oftentimes getting into hijinks ; running away from the Citadel into bordering townships , exploring the Outer-Wilds , hiding from Seekers… You name it.  Before Allyra died , the two performed a bonding rite ; a wound Kaen will never quite heal from.

Seekers - Large dog-like golems made by Cernunnos ; hunting creatures designed specifically to track whatever it is he asks them to.  These days , they’re used to chase down Kaen and bring them home.

Cernunnos - Kaen’s father ; often reveals himself uninvited in Thra to convince them they are wrongly challenging Fate and should come home , believing they are fighting for a war that is not theirs.

#❧ ━ ❝ ch. KAEN || verse vi: TDC ❞ ━ ☙ #oTL #i've done it #this is... #all the information i can think of #FOR NOW #i'll probably add more later but rn this is what i've got #the basics and necessities as you will #there's obviously more i can say abt why kaen is in thra #or more i can say abt their relationship to their father #but that's... #too much work for my baby gamer brain atm #for all 2.5 of you who write for the tdc fandom #this is for y'all

Interrupting your regularly-scheduled Star Wars posts to give you a The Dark Crystal post.

I showed a preview of this to some of my friends and one of them described me as a “horocrux who feeds of other’s suffering,” which i think was a compliment. I guess I just like sad-posting.

After TDCAOR was cancelled, I assume it will be a few years before we get some kind of spin off explaining what happens to our beloved Gelfling protagonists. This was an idea of mine for how the story may end. I personally believe that Deet and Rian are Jen’s parents, and the reason Jen was able to fix the Crystal was that he inherited his mother’s ability to banish the Darkening.

Alright besties, just saw this TikTok where you can request to have titles back on Netflix. Can we get 500,000 people to send in requests to Netflix to get a season two of The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance?

Here’s the TikTok. And here’s an easier way of getting the request form.
