Speaking of SkekShod, where did ZokShod even come from??! I’m quite interested in it as a ship, but I’m a bit confused as I have no idea how it even started, considering that SkekShod is one of the Skeksis least acknowledged in canon.

I have literally no idea. The only thing I can think of is that they're both "spare" Skeksis who aren't consistently shipped with anyone, and also that Shod has this air of vulnerability that's a magnet for disgusting perverts like Zok.

The OkLach brainrot returns and leaves once more.

SkekMal: This date is boring.

UrVa: This is not a date. I said I was going for a walk.

SkekMal: Then why did you invite me?

UrVa: I specifically told you not to come with me but you said, "I do what I want, Archer" and followed me here.

I don’t dress to impress. I dress to depress. I wanna look so good that people hate themselves.

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.

I firmly believe that is Skekso hadn't been fuckimg around with the darkening and the skeksis hadn't every gotten hooked on essence, they would have been able to live completely normal lives (normal as far as skeksis go) and would have been seen as slightly dickish leaders instead of murderous dictators by the Gelfling and basically everyone else on Thra. They probably would have even gotten along fine with their mystic counterparts.

Agreed. They didn't make it almost 900 trine by behaving the way they do once they get addicted to essence.

They were never going to be selfless, benevolent rulers, but people don't give them credit for how amicable and reasonable they are before the essence corrupts them.
