As we get the new season of HoD this summer, PLEASE MIND YOUR TAGS.

The daemonism community was DROWNED by Daemon Targaryen tags when it came out. It's still massively infected.

PLEASE use his full name this time! Let us have our little community tags that are so small on tumblr anyways!

The daemonism and daemian tags are NOT FOR HOUSE OF THE DRAGON

Daemonism culture is your daemon always calling you out on your bullshit

The EU is doing a big survey for LGBTQ people who live in the EU about how it is for them right now. That's the kind of survey that's used for official reports and for laws so it's super important that it has as many people taking it as possible. You can take it in every EU language. (You can change the language in the top right corner) Share it with your friends!

Borzoi

[bigbadblackborzoi]

I hate living in a condo, but I love living with people in a condo.

I hate the neighbor who is always stealing my clothespins and my space in the drying area.

I hate the guy who always sprints to take the elevator before me and locks it at his own floor.

I hate whoever is calling the police over decades old grudges against family members who are now down in the grave.

But

I love the old lady downstairs who knew I'm going through rough times and this morning brought us croissants and jam.

I love the condo admin who is calling me to check if we're alright and if I need to vent with someone.

I love the guy who plays the saxophone that makes the sound of a big city more bearable.

I love the middle-aged punk who always takes time to put everyone's mail in the correct box when the postman leaves everything in the general box.

I love the Pakistani hotel entrepreneur who helped my husband fix the main door.

I love the old Chinese man who doesn't speak a single word in my language, but always gestures happily at my dog.

I hate living in a condo, but I dearly love most of the people in it.

“that’s the very reason the Oblation Board was set up. As our good hostess here could tell you.” “Really? Is she involved with the Oblation Board?” “My dear, she is the Oblation Board. It’s entirely her own project –”

A Daemon's Purpose

When I first became me (though I wasn't called Aza at the time), I had a purpose. I was going to be a daemon. Like in His Dark Materials. I was inspired by Pan and Lyra's relationship. My human would never be alone so long as I was there, and I would never be alone either in return. He needed me and that's why I was there.

There's an age, we don't remember when, where he didn't need me anymore. So I left. We barely remember it, but we know it was tearful. I said my goodbyes. I knew he was going to be okay without me. He didn't need me anymore.

Until he did again. He was realizing that he wasn't the woman he thought, and he was terrified. So there I was, back again. For him. Always for him. In the same way he had changed, so had I, in my time away. I changed my names and pronouns as well. I didn't have to, but it felt right. It felt like me.

After the chaos of transition settled, he didn't need me anymore and we agreed. I am not going anywhere. I am more than a purpose. I don't need to have one. He doesn't have to need me. I don't want to be away from him and he doesn't want me away either. So I stay. Needed or not. It's something that time away made me learn about myself. I don't need a purpose, I don't need a goal, I don't need to be needed. No amount of friends or healing or romantic love can replace me. I have value by the fact of my existence. I didn't need to go away back then and I don't need to go away now.

I am Aza. And it's all that I need to be.

A request I gave to a friend (@old-daemon-farts) to draw myself and my partner Kay (@korya-sipelli) together. She's not done but it's still rather sweet so I'll share the wip.

His Dark Materials series all rebound. All three books were purchased second hand and rebound in hand-dyed blue leather with gold foiled pages and gold embossing. The Golden Compass book is even signed by Philip Pullman himself!

Couple of days ago I had this vivid dream of being a psychologist for daemons and I had this case of a little girl (who was definitely Dakota's Lyra) having her daemon turn absolutely feral for no reason. Like, starting to act like the actual animal he took the form of, instead of being sentient.

So I'm talking with this girl and her ferret daemon starts hissing and growling, and then lounges at my arm and gets his teeth stuck in it. I don't really know what to do because on one hand, I can't just shake it off fearing it would break his teeth, while on the other hand I couldn't touch him to pull him off because clearly no one was comfortable with it. Finally he comes back to his sense and runs away ashamed leaving his human behind. We go around searching for the daemon and we stumble in a crowded plaza, we learn that a child without a daemon was kidnapped, so we start searching for him too.

After a while we realise that a cult is doing a ritual using a daemon without human (the one I was taking care of) and a human without daemon as sacrifice to start apocalypse apparently??? We try to stop them, but we fail and then it went full Evangelion shit from there.

...what if I use the concept for a rp campaign tho??
