I Am In Tears

she (my tea kettle) sings so beautifully 🎶 prints | instagram | don’t delete caption please! 💛

She is sooooo CUTE! @zaradae Is she single?!

(I got a thing for Grottan girls OK?!)

me: why did i not cry about my own trauma until i saw it replicated on a tv show

the tiny simone de beauvoir who lives in my left ear: the fictional woman is a vehicle for the ineffable traumas of your feminine self.

me: thank you madame de beauvoir

Deryck

Drenchen of the toadiest caliber

Is a talented healer, but was raised as a warrior mostly. He’s a pacifist, or at least tries to be

He is the same height as Gurjin, but a few trine older. He’s stockier

Voice so deep and soft it will give YOU heart burn

Is often teased and called a soft-talker because of how quiet his voice is, but he’s more straight forward than even Laesid sometimes

Fell in love with Kylan the second he tried his broth

Their voices resonate so well!!

Will protect Tula with his life

Can’t dance, and will not try

Naia had a crush on him until she realized he always stared at Gurjin more than her

Is an okay swimmer, he likes to sit at the bottom of whatever water systems hes near to and just rest

Helped Gurjin with his injuries after the battle of Stone in the Wood

HEALED MAUDRA FARA because fuck her death I refuse to accept it

Hair is really curly when not dreaded

He knows how to sew, and is quite good at it

Big soft boi. WE STAN

If I was skekTek I would have helped the Gefling.

All of the other Skeksis were such bastards to him. Like, if you think about it, everything they gave to the Gelfling was probably a creation of the Scientist. Seriously, if he went to the Gelfling he'd probably have been well received due to his more gentle nature. I can't believe he was truly evil if he could care for that little bird of his. Also, it was SKEKSILS manipulative ass that even gave him the idea to drain things in the first place. That guy was honestly ready to get punished because his mind instantly went to 'I failed' rather than hurting other creatures for his own gain. I'd like to think he wouldn't have ever gone there if that HMMING ASS BITCH hadn't given him a second of validation.

Also- if Tek had left the other Skeksis, the Gelfling would have won with minimal casualty hands down. Tek was the smartest, and arguably most compassionate of them! If he had left, he would have been 100% valid in doing so. skekSa did it. Hell even skekMal didn't really care about them to a certain extent. The future of Thra would have instantly been rewritten if skekTek had just gone ahead and done what was best for himself. Instead of trying and failing to earn the respect of the others. (In his defense, abuse is a hard thing and everyone reacts differently. Which is another reason why this show is so good. Because so many characters go thru abuse and react differently and THATS SOME GOOD FLAVOR- but I digress).

I could keep going on about this, but i shan't rant any longer. Cuz now I wanna write an AU where Tek does leave, and omg I hate it when I give myself new ideas!!

“...and then the entirety of the Drenchen Clan charged into the wide cavern of the catacombs. Roars and Bolas bouncing off of the damp walls in a deafening declaration of war.”

Lol! The continuation of a previous post wherein our lovely Swamp Dwellers use their gills to their advantage to wreck the Skeksis.

I know Gurjin is our himbo supreme with a heart of gold, but I reeeallly want to see him get angry.

Please don’t repost my work :)

i have 3 capri suns! my life is so fun and sexy

Ok. So yall remember that scene in pirates of the Caribbean where Barbossa's crew walked under water to sneak up on Norrington's men?

Ok that, but the DRENCHEN walking under the water around the castle of the crystal to sneak in via the water ways while the land gelf and gelf who can fly distract them? A solid military tactic for our aquatic friends!

And imagine Gurjin, having been in the castle, leading them. And the first thing he says to the very shocked Skeksis is:

"Payback time, Sog-for-Brains"

And the entire Drenchen clan just swarms in, bola and spears flying because they are PISSED about what these big beaked bitches did to their prince!!
