back on my biannual hdm phase @everyonehastheirdaemons - Tumblr Blog

I can't name my blog "everyone has their daemons" and then not tell you about mine, can I?

Meet Raziel! (He/they/any)

CIEday: idfk some random day in 2024 i think

Raz settled as a black-billed magpie (pica hudsonia) recently. Although I'll always miss him being able to shift, I know he's settled perfectly for me :)

He's bright, curious, flighty, and sometimes a bit of an annoying little shit (not that he'd ever admit it), but he knows how to get me out of my shell, and it's hard to get lonely with a yapping bird on my shoulder at all times.

Whenever I'm pondering about daemons here, it'll be through him, so you can call us Raziel if you want :)

(Or you can call me Moon!)

If he ever needs to speak, he will do so in this color.

the golden compass » lord asriel and stelmaria.

“From there, and from a billion other worlds, Dust flows. Worlds of infinite possibilities. Some where men have no dæmons. Some where dæmons have no men. (…) And even some where there is no Magisterium… and no Authority.” “That is heresy.” “That… is the truth.”

Okay so because I’ve got Phillip Pullman on the brain recently I wanted to talk for a second about how genius the daemon picks for Lyra’s parents are.

At first glance Lord Asriel’s Stelmaria might seem like an odd choice. Snow leopards are generally shy cats. However I think having just a big cat in general says a great deal about his character. Cats are independent, single minded, and charismatic. We see that his sheer force of personality opens many doors for him. However his use of power and the pursuit of his goals is extremely subtle. Having a more powerful cat like a tiger or lion indicates a certain brashness that is not present. He doesn’t tip his hand, he’s patient. He waits for what he wants to present itself and then pounces. A snow leopard encapsulates the mystery and charm he possesses while still being at heart, an ambush predator.

Mrs. Coulter’s golden monkey (fascinatingly unnamed in canon) is a much more obvious appropriate pick. Monkeys are cunning, skilled, and dangerous. They share a lot of their traits with humans but are upsettingly lacking in empathy. Watching nature documentaries growing up I was often struck that many monkeys are like little children. They have all the fascination of a child burning ants alive without ever developing a conscience that perhaps that might be wrong. We see that Mrs. Coulter has acted in extremely appalling ways often just to see what will happen.

#agreed!!! i love the choices for their daemons #hdm

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

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

there are times i wish raziel had settled as something other than what he is now. it doesnt happen often but i miss being able to become someone or something warm and comforting. something heavy i can hold

but he i know he will only ever take this form

While the crab-eating fox’s (Cerdocyon thous) name implies that crabs make up most of its diet, this canid is omnivorous and has a wide-ranging menu that changes with the seasons. It lives in parts of eastern and northern South America, where it’s found in forests, savannas, shrubland, and wetlands. During the dry season, it may snack more on insects; during the wet season, it favors crustaceans.
