Everyday Dæmon Things

curling up for an afternoon nap with your dæmon on your face to block the light

going for an early morning jog with your dæmon trailing behind, complaining about the early hour (or running ahead shouting encouragement)

arguing with your dæmon over ingredients in a new recipe (and they’re right, of course)

your and your best friend’s dæmons wrestling in the mud on a rainy day

your dæmon helping with chores around the house

you and your dæmon worrying over your new haircut on the way to school/work

one of the hilarious things to me about the “same birthday” concept in sci-fi shows is that time zones are never acknowledged. 

Vanya and Luther could be like “You were born on the same day as me? AND your mother wasn’t pregnant before?? Wait, we were born 7 hours apart, that would have been wild.”

Same with Leo and Wolfgang, but instead all these shows are like - “They were born at the EXACT same time, and everyone inherently took into account time differences, so we don’t need to bother acknowledging that” and I am 100% here for ignoring unnecessarily complicated explanations on shows

AMBROSIA BAKED CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

I want to dedicate this recipe to one of my good friends, who is no longer here to see it. I just want you to know, I miss you greatly.

Her favorite movie growing up was Percy Jackson. She talked about how Percy Jackson would drink Ambrosia and for him it tasted like warm chocolate chip cookies that his mother used to make him.

She always suggested me to do a recipe on it for my blog, when I first started it.

Even though she will never see this, I’m sure she would have loved this recipe. I can firmly say this recipe is made with every piece of love in my heart imaginable.

Please enjoy…

Ingredients

3 ½ cups flour

½ cup browned butter

½ cup softened butter

½ tsp sea salt

1 tbsp vanilla extract

1 ½ cup brown sugar

½ tsp expresso powder

2 large egg

½ bag milk chocolate chips

1 bar chopped chocolate

1 tsp baking soda

¼ cup condensed milk

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 F.

On a stove brown your butter and remove from heat to cool. Cream your softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Now cream in your browned butter. Beat in egg, vanilla extract, and condensed milk.

Add and mix in all your dry ingredients until just incorporated. Fold in chocolate and scoop cookies into even balls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. 

Put it in the fridge 1 hour to overnight before baking.

Bake for 8-15 minutes, or until golden brown and completely cooked.

Please enjoy these cookies! And remember to cherish the ones you love the most!

True death is when a person can love no more, so long as you can love, the person will stay alive, in your memory.

I'm thinking about His Dark Materials again. Specifically the societal quirks that Lyra's world has as a result of everyone having their soul manifested outside their body in the form of dæmons. It's one of the most fascinating examples of worldbuilding I've come across tbh

Some of my most favourite tidbits:

Dæmons are named by the dæmons of the child's parents

It's taboo to touch another person's dæmon, but this is learnt, not instinctual

Children often settle arguments through their dæmons, with one accepting the dominance of the other (eg. Pan hissing at Annie's fox daemon in the first book to get her to back down)

The fact that people can tell when someone lacks a daemon even though they can be hidden out of sight (like a mouse in your pocket)

To the inhabitants of Lyra's world, looking at someone without a dæmon is like looking at someone without a head

These extra pieces of lore just make the world seem so magical but believable at the same time

REBLOG IF YOU SUPPORT TRANS WITCHES.

I saw some posts and accounts that really bummed me out tonight. Some people are so proud to be transphobic and it’s disgusting. I’m terrified that I accidentally follow some TERFS without realizing it.

Show trans people some love in the midst of all of this hate that is still going around.

I often wonder about the nature of daemons. What they really are, whether they are just figments of hyper-imaginative minds, simple tricks of our inner voice, or something entirely esoteric. Whether they are "true" or not, and why some people no matter how hard they try, they end up never having contact with their own. After god knows how many years I've known mine, I rarely end up surprised nor I put his reality to test (since it's pointless and it's only damaging for a healthy relationship with ourselves); but today we caught ourselves in a disagreement over the most mundane thing: he scolded me for washing a pan that he believed was already clean, while I reminded him that it was used at dinner. We stopped for a second. I was the one correcting the voice that -supposedly- had access to all my memories and my knowledge, assuming he's just my imagination talking. Has something like this ever happened to anyone else? How deep is the difference between Agathiel as a person and their daemon? Sometimes I'd like to know the scientific explanation for daemons, something to answer that little worm of doubt that occasionally bites with a "what if you're just indulging in your mental illness", a chemical reaction or brain characteristic or hormones that explains their existence. More often though I prefer believing there's still a bit of unexplained wonder in the world.

Ffs your ramblings are something.
