Chicken Science Swednesday: Chicken as a liquid
Many people are unaware that some chickens, when exposed to direct sunlight, become puddles:
There is no reason to be alarmed, as this process is 100% reversible. Indeed, most chickens will return to their solid form within a few minutes of melting, without any external assistance.
Don't worry if you were unaware of this. Even chickens who are not currently puddles are often confused by these encounters:

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.

Finished my 5th rewatch of The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance and I still adore it with all my heart. I cried again as well.
I’m so frustrated and heartbroken that we’re not getting a second season. Everyday I pray that it’ll get picked up by another network or get a book/comic sequel but that seems more unlikely with each passing day. I love this show and I’d say it’s in my top 3 favorite shows of all time.
It’s beautiful, fun, and has great characters. I’ll always revisit AoR if I need something fun to watch. I just wish we’d get to see the rest of the story.
I love The Dark Crystal and I’ll continue to sing its praises til the day I die

The best scene in the Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance is when the Chamberlain approaches the Scientist a week after framing him and causing him to very painfully lose his eye like "heyyy.... I know I framed you for something that was entirely my fault which caused you to be tortured as punishment... but we're still friends right?" And the Scientist, with a replacement eye, just says "whatever cunt. I'll walk it off"

Help, I got pulled into dark crystal by two certain people. (YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE SKEKLA AND @devilbinx) *Cough* Anyways. Meet Skeksyn or "the Monarch".
He will appear only in the movie.
After the Emperor died, SkekTek took a bit of his ashes in the hope to cheat Thra and death itself. He tried to find a way to be reborn again by an untested cloning technique. The experiment went well and soon out of the ashes and young Skeksis emerged. The doctor soon realized that he did not look like SkekSo or even remember anything, which means he created a new Skeksis out of the ashes.
SkekTek proclaimed that this experiment was futile and wanted to destroy the youngling. But SkekZok believed that this was the emperor in some way and refused to let the scientist kill him.
SkekTek couldn't refuse the Ritual-master and gave the newborn the name SkekSyn (Skeksis +Synthetic). Pleased with the name, the Ritual-Master gave SkekSyn the title "Monarch".
He immediately replaced SkekSo's place as the ruler, which SkekSil and SkekUng immediately displeases. Another issue is that SkekSyn has no counterpart, meaning that he has both sides. Good and evil.
It will cause conflict under the Skeksis, but also they cannot do anything, because he is under the protection of SkekZok.
What a mess! He is also only the size of a Gelfling.
I also need to headcanon that Jen takes WAY longer to get to the place. Because in the original movie he popped up within 24 hours after SkekSo's death in that place.
(Please bonk me if I did something wrong, I am new to this fandom! TELL MEEE)
Hope you like it <3
