I’m re-reading The Amber Spyglass and I’m once again struck by how good a villain Marisa Coulter is. A terrible person but such a complex character.

In the cave, her duality is so obvious: while drugging Lyra with force and in such a cruel way, she’ll be tender, kiss a lock of her hair, sing a lullaby to her even though she’s never done it before and doesn’t even know the words, try to soothe her, use endearing terms. Afterwards torturing and tearing a bat apart in frustration over the situation - directing her anger towards a smaller creature, then sulking and anguishing about the fact that her daughter hates her and won’t forgive her for all her actions, and she knows it.

At the same time she has this twisted idea that she is keeping Lyra safe by keeping her asleep, and her intention is genuine in that aspect - she isn’t wrong. She’ll feed her and wash her and protect her while being so self-serving and ignoring Lyra’s wishes. But she is hell-bent on not letting anyone hurt her daughter again.

It’s also so heartbreaking that Lyra is calling out for literally anyone but her biological parents to save her, mostly some of her found parents, Iorek and Serafina. Even in her tormented sleep, she doesn’t accept Mrs. Coulter no matter how tender she tries to be.

‘serpentine’ a new his dark materials novella following teenage lyra and her dæmon returning to the arctic will be released this october.

*when we get off the call*

Me: but was that necessary though?

Pan: absolutely.

Concept: Social Classes and daemons.

aw fuck i can’t believe you’ve done this (but i’m also glad you did because this idea is a big one)

social classs are already so complex, the way people are treated based on social class and income are already so askskskgha but to add dæmons to the mix? are people gonna start treating others like second class citizens because of their dæmon’s form? maybe if someone doesn’t conform to the expected dæmon for types of their class they’re given a harder time than others that do? maybe in a capitalist society dæmons are seen as a commodity rather than as your soul and other people living in different parts of the world are disgusting by our attitudes towards it? ofc if dæmons were physical tomorrow companies would start selling us dæmon related shit the day after without a doubt

but back to social class, there would likely be social expectations placed on people to determine what form their dæmon “should” be based on their social class. maybe only certain forms are acceptable for certain people, maybe women are expected to settle as x amount of forms because of bullshit gender expectations, maybe people of color are expected to settle as only certain animals under the guise of “that’s their culture!” while other people don’t have those expectations placed on them at all. if having a dæmon means that you’re human then what implications does that have for people who are viewed as less than human? fucking yikes™️. the world might even get to the point where dæmon forms are largely influenced by need based on lower social standing rather than opportunity associated with higher class standing. kids exposed to more stuff and given a better education would be more likely to choose forms that are diverse, kids that aren’t as lucky wouldn’t be given that chance at all and a dæmon form bottleneck between the upper and lower classes might form

i really do like those “what if dæmons suddenly appeared” ideas but at the same time it’s a potential hell world. things suddenly get a lot scarier
