💫🌿 Hey howdy, I'm Snakestar! My main account is @snakestardraws, and this is my sideblog about dæmonism. I use it to make and reblog posts about dæmons, thoughtforms, His Dark Materials, alterhumanity, and identity. I myself am aromantic, heterosexual, creaturegender, snakehearted, and diagnosed with Level 1 autism. I live in New Mexico USA, dream of working in sterile processing, am a religious Quaker, and have 5 wonderful reptiles. In my free time, I enjoy reading, writing, drawing, learning languages, journaling, playing the oud, boxing, fencing, and running.

My dæmon Sisyphus has been with me for 6 years and I love him more than anything. We love to make each other laugh, talk and philosophize together, share spiritual experiences, and support each other through the toughest times. He is extremely chatty in real life, but sometimes gets shy when it comes to sharing online. If he chooses to post here, it will be under the tag #sisyphus speaks.

Thanks for reading! If any of this sounds interesting to you, I hope we can be friends! 💫🌿

maned wolf.

the first animal to pop into my head.

i tried so hard to convince myself

that rune wasn’t one,

but with every form i considered

we kept coming back to the strange long legged canid.

and so it was settled.

[wydae]

we’re fairly new to all this, but what i love about this journey into daemonism is that it is a rather beautiful way to understand yourself. to look deeper than surface level. in a way it feels like self love. you sit down and really think about yourself, you literally reach out and learn about who you are by taking the time to listen and embrace the parts of you that may otherwise remain hidden.

all of rúnestelle’s forms have a meaning, they connect with me in some way, i love them for that.

[syncarida]

I think it can walking up to me and putting its head on my shoe for. I don't know.

[sirquet-bored]

I believe that its perfectly normal to NEVER be satisfied with the form your dæmon settles as. By extension, I believe that most people are never going to be at peace with themselves, too many regrets or worries, because of the personal perceptions that society often pushes on everyone, most people will never accept themselves just as they are. Ive seen that only on the deathbed do people find peace, and even then sometimes it doesnt happen.

And perhaps its the autism speaking, but I enjoy analytical analysis of dæmon forms, and believe them more than a symbolic analysis for myself. Because it seems conclusive and totally absolute when the traits of a specific form match up with the traits of my personhood. I know thats who I am, so that MUST be my dæmon.

Polar Bears are not my favorite animal, nor did I even consider that shape when I started out dæmon-searching. But the more I researched analytic forums the more and more it all connected, they were all spot on and I felt so sure that form was correct for Memore. And he's been that form for the last 2 years, but there are times I DO wish for a different form. The physical limitations, the stereotype-perceptions of polar bear forms, and my personal biases for other forms sometimes makes me personally feel incomplete, BUT THATS NORMAL! Everyone's gonna have their moments of second-guessing and thats normal. Despite my troubles, I still would never want Memore to change from what he is now, because every other form possesses traits and qualities that just arent me.

maybe this is just a thought process exclusive to me, but maybe it could help people struggling with their settled form, who knows.

Human relationships are not transactional but they are reciprocal, which I think many of you with your ‘i don’t owe anyone anything’ shtick are too happy to forget

[aromanticduck]

Transactional: everything has to be exactly 50/50 all the time, pay me back for the £5 sandwich or buy me something worth exactly £5, I refuse to make an effort for you if there’s nothing in it for me

Reciprocal: you were there for me when I needed help, and I’m going to do the same for you, it doesn’t matter if one of us needs more or is capable of less, because the point is not equivalent exchange but mutual care

[fromjuniper]

my favorite fucked up animal is the false killer whale it looks like a rejected kaiju design… like a void with teeth…. look at this fucking baby

also these guys have been documented in gay pairbonds with fuckin BOTTLENOSES which isn’t even their species! fuck it up dude!

[suppenzeit]

Ice is forming on the tips of my wings Unheeded warnings, I thought, I'd thought of everything No navigator to find my way home Unladen, empty and turned to stone

[everyonehastheirdaemons]

ive been having trouble visualizing my daemon ngl. I can think about him and what he'd do, and we chat sometimes, but i'm unable to focus long enough to really give him form to interact and it's bugging me a lot

[crimsonandpolariserratum]

Drew Polaris's Jarguarundi form

We tried it and are slowly getting used to it

Bonus point for easier cuddles and car rides

[fractals-soul]

Greetings and hello

This is our daemonism sideblog we're making yayyyy

A bit about us

We're Fractals and Fragments; aka Fractals and we're plurallet, and a shapeshifter

ey/em/eir it/its they/them

Also very queer, disabled and alterhuman

And we have a Daemon called Soul

Hi I'm Soul

Soul uses all pronouns and is also a shapeshifter; we aren't interested in form finding stuff

It chooses a lot of forms with lighter colours and soft fur; rabbits, snow leopards also snakes, (which are not furry) but forms do range a lot

We've had Soul for a year but are not super good at keeping up with daemonism stuff and at the moment Soul is very blurry and not really there. We made this sideblog in part to try and work on our practice.

We'll see if we actually use the blog

Soul posts will be tagged as #soul chitters

Fractal posts will be tagged as #fractals musings

and reblogs will be tagged as #reblogs

[convuuluted]

i think one of the very best parts of daemonism is how comforting it is. it's genuinely so nice to know that no matter what, no matter where you are, what youre going through, you will always have someone there with you. someone who truly, fundamentally understands you in a way that is impossible for any other human being to. that no matter what experience you're having, they will be there, experiencing it too, right by your side

My Dae’s Intro! ִֶָ. ..𓂃 ࣪ ִֶָ🦇་༘࿐

•

Daemon's name: Bodhi (pronounced bow-dee) Can be Bo for short

Daemon's CIEday: 6/4/26

Daemon's pronouns: He/they (may change)

Form(s): Symbolic form- Bat (brown long-eared bat) Comfort form- Wolverine

⏾⋆.˚

I’m still practicing talking to Bodhi and developing his voice but overall I’ve been really enjoying his company! He’s definitely protective of me and positive to a fault, and I’ve imagining his voice to be like Rocky from PHM hehe- so excited to keep growing my relationship with my dae and continuing to post about my experiences!!

[liondrakes]

The funny thing about form-finding and settling, between both daemian and daemon alike, is the moment where you both think a form’s The One just for something else to manifest and blow that previous one to smithereens.

“Is this it?” “I think so, yeah!” “Aye!! You settled!” “I settled! Wait—” “Wait?” “Nah, this isn’t it.” “FUCK… welp. Add it to the pile, ig.”

How Wolfy is the Nonhuman Community?

It is something that is quite often repeated in therian spaces is the abundance of wolves in particular. Rather than doing the methode where a bunch of species are listed I am curious how close the community on average is to wolf.

Please select the closest common clade. If you do not have a nonhuman identity, please select the bottom result if you wish to see the results to avoid skewing the information. If you have multiple types select the closest (or most significant depending on your desire). If your type is not classified such as theriomythics, please select the Other option. If the type classification is unclear (i.e. certain ediacaran or similar ancient life) select which you think best fits.

Addendum: Please put domestic dogs until Canis for C. Familiaris even if modern taxonomy sets domestic dogs as subspecies of C. Lupus. Additionally if you are a cross species animal (i.e. Mule or Wolfdog) use the parent species closest to wolves. If additional edgecases are found, ping me in the replies.

Examples: Minke Whale (balaenoptera acutorostrata) - Mammalia, African Wild Dog (lycaon pictus) - Canidae, Common Tern (sterna hirundo) - Chordata, Pegasus - Mythical: Other, Silver Elf - Non-Terran: Other

How Close to Wolf Are You?

Species: C. Lupus

Genus: Canis

Family: Canidae

Order: Carnivora

Class: Mammalia

Phylum: Chordata

Kingdom: Animalia

Life: Terran

Non-Terran, Non-Life, Non-Classified, Mythic, or Other

Results/I do not identify as non-human

Please reblog this to share it further as I am quite curious and would benefit from getting responses beyond my immidiate circle.
