Create for Thra: 8/30-9/5
In honor of The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance’s Second Anniversary, we are working in a Great Conjunction (*wink*) with @thra-athon to sponsor a celebratory event for this wonderful fandom.
Starting Monday, August 30, and ending Sunday, September, 5, 2021, Create for Thra is designed to be a celebration and fun experience for fans to submit artwork, fanfiction, and all manner of creation related to the world of Thra and the week’s themes! You can focus on any character you’d like, from one character/ships to the full cast of characters. We are so excited to see what you create!
Here are the themes for the week:
August 30 — Day One: Creature Feature - Draw or write a story about your favorite Thra-creature, or post artwork of your own Thra-Creature Creation.
August 31 — Day Two: Original Characters - Introduce us to your original character within the world of Thra. Words, images, sculptures, dolls, puppets... the world of Thra is, as they say, your... gobble? Hm...
September 1 — Day Three: Where in the World? / Home Is Where the Heart Is - Show us your favorite locale on Thra with art or words, or create something about your favorite character in the little piece of Thra they call home.
September 2 — Day Four: Scene Work - Draw/write an interpretation of your favorite scene, or create your own deleted scene from the show. What occurred offscreen that you would have liked to see? What would your favorite scene have looked like from a different character’s eyes?
September 3 — Day Five: What Was Sundered and Undone - The Division of the UrSkeks... the splitting of the Seven Clans... the cracking of the Crystal of Truth. Many things on Thra have been torn apart. Create a piece about this topic.
September 4 — Day Six: "There are many paths laid before us, some good, most bad." - Create a story or drawing about the differing paths Aughra sees. Brea tells her mother to imagine the possibilities - what can you imagine?
September 5 — Day Seven: A Great Conjunction - “Alright, together then!” From the reunification of the Skeksis and Mystics and the Gelfling fires of resistance, the alliance of the Arathim and the Gelfling, to our favorite Podling Paladin, unity is an important concept during the Age of Resistance. Make a creation about embracing unity instead of continuing division!
It isn’t required to participate for the entire week. If you’d just like to submit a piece of work for only one of the theme days, that’s completely fine! Please be sure that any work submitted is new content.
Rules:
1) Tag your work properly so that any parties who are either a) too young for certain subject matter, or b) concerned about potentially unsavory subject matter, may make informed decisions about what works they do and do not want to engage with.
2) Character-hate and ship-hate is not allowed or welcome. Any fan of this fandom is welcome to participate. Don’t like it? Don’t read/view it, and don’t comment a bunch of hate on it. End. Of. Story. You will be blocked if you engage in that type of behavior.
3) HAVE FUN AND SUPPORT ONE ANOTHER!
We encourage you to leave the artist/author/creator a comment if you enjoyed the creation - it doesn’t have to be something long or detailed. Something as simple as “really enjoyed reading/viewing this” will make the creator’s day a bit brighter.
Be sure to hashtag #CreateforThra so we can see it and reblog your creations!
Remember - all characters are welcome! Skeksis, Mystics, Gelfling, Podlings, pluff’ms, and everything in between.
Looking forward to seeing your creations beginning Monday, August 30.
