    Question: do you imagine female gelfling wash their wings in the bath or do they keep them dry since they can’t fly when they’re wet?

    • @DarkCrystalConjunction
      @DarkCrystalConjunction  4 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Hm, I suppose it will be like women's hair... sometimes they where shower caps if their hair is already on fleek and they don't have time to fix it, or they wash it and let it air dry or blow dry depending on time and how they want it looking.... so big plastic wing caps, maybe? :D ;P #speculation

      But then there are the Drenchen females who use their wings as fins for swimming. Perhaps female gelflings aren't all that concerned about getting them wet.

      Ya, I think it depends on how much they were influenced by the Skeksis at the time. In the show, when Trial by Air is declared some are taken aback that those are Skeksis' ways... perhaps in earlier times they had other traditions. Not sure, but I suppose they were much more peaceful ways.

    • @Maldoror2112

      Perhaps the gelflings run for office, start campaigning, and hold debates before the populace cast their votes in the Maudra election.
      Just kidding! I'm sure it's something simpler than that.

Finally, all those people who are fans of "shipping" the gelflings will start getting answers and put the debate to bed (so to speak). I predict there be many people saying, "A-ha! I knew it would be those two," while others will be saying, "No way! Why did they have those two get together?!"
