I Often Wonder About The Nature Of Daemons. What They Really Are, Whether They Are Just Figments Of Hyper-imaginative

My ocean altar💙 on my life, my mama said “jingle shells are wish shells” and I stood in the ocean and made a wish for our current house and threw the jingle shell to the sea. She needs more work and I want to get an ocean sign or something to hang above it but I love it. So blessed and thankful and in shock still.

Ilvermorny Informal House Colors

I know there are no official House colors at Ilvermorny, but I figured it would be good to have informal colors for competitive events (Quidditch, debate, etc.) They’re all different combinations on the overall school colors (blue, cranberry, gold).

cranberry + medium blue : Thunderbird gold + cranberry : Wampus medium blue + pale blue : Horned Serpent pale blue + gold : Pukwudgie

NOTE: At Ilvermorny, they wear more typical sportswear (jerseys and athletic shorts, plus sweatshirt-jackets and sweatpants for the cold months) to play Quidditch. The uniforms are as follows:

Thunderbird - cranberry jersey, medium blue shorts with cranberry stripes down the sides, medium blue sweatshirt-jacket/sweatpants

Wampus - gold jersey, cranberry shorts with gold stripes down the sides, cranberry sweatshirt-jacket/sweatpants

Horned Serpent - medium blue jersey, pale blue shorts with medium blue stripes down the sides, pale blue sweatshirt-jacket/sweatpants

Pukwudgie - pale blue jersey, gold shorts with pale blue stripes down the sides, gold sweatshirt-jacket/sweatpants

Jerseys and jackets say ISQ (for Ilvermorny School Quidditch) on the right breast and the player’s surname and number on the back. The sweatpants say the House name down the pant leg.

Mary Oliver “Why I Wake Early.” Why I Wake Early

Entitled moms and dæmons

So I was browsing r/entitledparents the other day and I had a thought: Karens like these would be so much worse if dæmons became corporeal.

Think about it:

They don’t respect boundaries

They don’t think their kids should have to respect your boundaries

In some of them, the entitled parent goes so far as to break the law

They probably wouldn’t care about the taboo

“Your dæmon is really cute! Can my kid pet them?” Yeah, hell no!

It would be awful (and probably illegal, falling under the definition of “assault”) it would be especially bad for cute, but uncommon forms. (Penguins, small owls, primates, small wild cats etc.)

Especially if they became corporeal in our world, instead of a world like Lyra’s where they’ve always been corporeal. The taboo wouldn’t be a thing at first, and it would be a while before the laws were revised to classify it as assault.

HIS DARK MATERIALS BOOK/SHOW SPOILERS

____________________________________________

Still processing how much they changed in the second episode!!!! I wonder whether the reveal about Lyra’s father so early will cheapen their later moments together? And how the appearance of a window (and that window, of all of them to reveal) will change that final moment with Asriel’s bridge in the North. Also, could that mean Will makes an appearance sooner than I could have ever expected? I almost hope that juxtaposing Lyra against someone like WIll could cause her spark to shine through a little more. Overall, not a bad episode, but shocking in the divergence from the book and made me wish even more for a more feral, fearless Lyra.

After Ursula, here comes Vanessa’s story 😈🐙🏰

Some witches will argue that Christians stole pagan traditions and holidays, that there is absolutely no way syncretism played a role in anything related to the topic... then go on to use the whitewashed concept of chakras, try to girlbossify the Jewish demon Lilith into a "Goddess", demonize Hoodoo (and by extension black folk) in the name of love & light, steal Indigenous traditions to remove them from their original context... and the list goes on...

Jake: *morphs a goldfish to forget everything for a little while*

Jake: *advances science’s knowledge of animals again*

Jake: Crap.

Duh... I made a wallpaper of Kleytos and me and... We really like it. (The first one is the original).
