Today, during the break, Kleytos was so tired.

Love you, little cutie baby (maybe he will kill me after seeing this).

i’m obsessed with the way the episode titles are not only individual chapters from the books, but also reflect multiple things that occur in the story.

lyra’s jordan showed us her carefree life in oxford, the way her experience of jordan is changed by asriel’s discoveries and the reaction of the scholars, how mrs coulter’s arrival changes the way she looks at oxford and encourages her to leave, and the children disappearing around her

the idea of north reflects on the way lyra sees the north (in the arctic institute) and how her vision is changed when she finds the plans in mrs coulter’s study and discovers something is happening there. and then we have the way the episode ends with roger and the other children going north to “the best place you could possibly go to” and we still aren’t supposed to know what happens there, we only have an idea of north

the spies appear in various forms, firstly the magisterium police force searching the gyptian boats, the spy flies and benjamin and tony sneaking into mrs coulter’s flat to find information. lyra beginning to use the alethiometer is arguably a form of spying, while boreal is shown to spy more and more as he finds out about john parry and his family

armour showed the hunt for iorek’s armour, and the gyptians seek ‘armour’ or protection in the witches, iorek byrnison and lee scoresby

the lost boy is billy costa, but in this episode we are also introduced to will, a boy who is lost without knowledge of his father and the burden of caring for his mother all by himself

Oh no, I got stuck looking at footage from the Golden Compass movie and now I’m having serious dæmon feels. Like, “a world where everyone has corporeal dæmons” feels.

A sparrow dæmon fetching things in the grocery store as their human walks by

A big cat dæmon walking down the street next to their young anxious human, disappearing in and out of street lights like a shadow, growling from deep inside their chest at people who could be a threat to their other half

A raptor dæmon flying overhead of their human riding a bike, tugging in their hair for teasing and the human swatting overhead and almost loosing balance

People carrying their dæmons on their shoulders. Just, carrying your dæ on your shoulder. It’s so important.

A monkey dæmon clinging to their human’s arm when they walk and jumping to the table as their human sit down to eat

A tiny mouse dæmon running under and around their person’s hands as they write on their computer

Dæmons of classmates touching noses when they see each other in the morning

Dæmons of lovers curling up together under the table as their humans share a romantic dinner

Dæmons of friends resting in a huge heap of unidentifiable feather and fur and scales when their humans have a movie night

A ferret dæmon wrapping themself around their person’s neck to keep them warm in the evening air

An otter dæmon acting coach to their human when they’re swimming, swimming around them and splashing water on them if they don’t swim fast enough

Children’s dæmons playing in secret under the tables when their humans have class, taking tiny forms to not be seen but giggling and scurrying so much they can’t be missed

A big sibling’s dæmon cheering up their crying little sibling by changing into a really colourful butterfly and fluttering around above their head

The thought of corporeal dæmons make me so happy, guys.

Imagine; Kids

Well, not specifically just kids, but human beings of a younger age. Like below twenty-ish. 

I personally headcanon that children’s dæmons reflect the age of their human counterpart. Basically, I imagine their physical maturity to run parallel. Babies would have newborn animals, toddlers would have baby animals, etc. Adolescents, I feel, would have “teenage” dæmons as well, until they settle. The older you are, this would be reflected in your dæmon, despite their being a representation of your soul. They would still be tangible, after all. 

So imagine a baby just starting to learn how to walk and talk, their little dæmon toddling along behind them, mimicking their gurgling noises. Sometimes the dæmon is a delicate bird with only a few feathers, or a soft kitten, or floppy-eared puppy. When the lil’ one is feeling creative, their dæmon might be a baby soft-shelled turtle, or a wobbly foal.

Imagine a pregnant woman, about six months in. Her dæmon and her are both excited, and a tad nervous, of course. They try to brush it off, though; too many hormones, and dust being attracted to the growing life inside her, readying itself to take shape and become a dæmon in only a few weeks time.

Imagine someone who’s reached the age of twenty-three, and they still haven’t settled. Teachers, friends, family- everyone says it isn’t that unusual, don’t be self conscious, plenty of people settle late. Still, they can’t help feeling uncomfortable every time their dæmon changes their form. Because how can you manage in the real, adult world without knowing who you are? Their dæmon is embarrassed about it, but reassures their human in private fiercely that there is nothing wrong with them, nothing at all.

Imagine a high school where dæmons are settling- or not settling- left and right. It’s both exhilarating and exhausting, dealing with the drama that settling dæmons brings. There are always the kids who aren’t happy with their dæmon’s settled form, whatever the reason may be. The freshman spend a fair amount of their time speculating who’ll settle first, and as what, whereas the seniors are anxiously hoping to settle before graduation. The librarians are very helpful when it comes to having full databases on every species of life on the planet that is a viable dæmon, and are eager to drag in the awkward juniors to see what kind of lizard their dæmon is.

Imagine siblings and the way their dæmons would interact. Twins would maybe try to be the same, or never stay in the same shape as their twin. Imagine an older brother and his little sister, seventeen and eight, respectively. His oversized saint bernard dæmon is very protective of the younger dæmon and girl. Or imagine three sisters, one of whom ends up with chatty bird, another with a large, speedy hare, and the last with a gazelle. Whenever they get into arguments, their dæmons will throw themselves into the fray to defend their humans.

Imagine thirteen-year-olds looking jealously at the older kids dæmons. At that age, their dæmons can’t fly very well yet as birds or bats, and they can only run so fast on gangly, disproportionate feet. Changing shapes is no longer as easy as it was when they were ten, but they aren’t anywhere near to settling yet; Everyone’s a mess, including the dæmons.

Just a few more of my random imaginings! Hope you enjoyed!

I really need some His Dark Materials spanish fans, I feel so f*cking lonely in this fandom...

While watching the clip of Lee Scoresby’s introduction, I was wondering; why are Lee and Hester telling each other stuff about Iorek that they already know, like him getting tricked out of the armour and that they owe him? And then I remembered, naturally, both of them are actually talking to themselves, they’re the same being 

What would happen if our world was suddenly given the gift of seeing dæmons?

The situation: waking up in the morning of their timezone, people all over the world have woken up to find they have a daemon.

Some people upon waking were quite happy to find a sweet chinchilla snuggled next to them, a friendly dog in their bedroom, or a giraffe peeking through their window. Others may have been frightened to find mice, toads, and spiders by their side.

There were some reported incidents of people attacking their daemons at first sight, only to feel the pain in their own body. Hundreds of unsuspecting people were sent to hospitals for minor injuries. Two deaths were recorded in the states, one notable death being a man who rolled over his daemon in his sleep.

People are torn: they either love their new life companion or think of them as curses to humanity. Religous groups have taken to calling them “demons” sent as punishment for our sins. The name catches on with both pro and anti daemon groups, particularly since the word “daemon” is already a greek word that describes the animals accurately.

After a bit of research and talking with their daemons, people realize that daemons are a part of the human body. It is also realized that daemons aren’t actually animals, since people with cat allergies are fine around cat daemons.

It doesn’t take long for new forms of discrimination to arise. Animals in our world carry meanings, so people with “undesirable” animals are seen as suspicious or as outcasts. Snakes, vultures, rats, pigeons, insects, and “pest” daemons are seen as lesser. People with such daemons begin to unionize in hopes of bettering their image.

After almost a year of having daemons, people have mostly figured out that daemons are not a threat. If anything, they’re useful, since it’s like your very own sidekick. It’s common place to have daemons sit at the dinner table, to see business men and women carrying their daemon on their shoulder, and students keeping smaller formed daemons in their backpacks and hoodies. Pretty much everyone has named their daemon by now.

Even after all this time, daemons are still a hot topic in the news and no one has figured out why they appeared, despite all the theories. New branches of study have opened to research daemons (Daemon Morphology, Daemon and Human Anatomy, and Daemons in Society are just some of the college courses offered). People are still in the means of understanding this new daemon phenomenon, but it’s becoming more and more normalized with each day.

please feel free to reblog and add on! this is really fun to think about tbh

HDM: 1x03 - The Spies

Ma Costa is a gem.

Until episode 3, we didn’t know much about her, apart from the fact that she is Billy Costa’s mom, that his disappearance shattered her and that there’s no way in hell she’s gonna stop looking for her son. When the Gyptians rescued Lyra and brought her to their boats, Ma Costa took upon herself to look after Lyra. Her generous and nurturing spirit immediately kicked in and she acted like a surrogate mother, which is ironical because Lyra never had a mom until now. 

There’s a distinct opposition between Mrs. Coulter and Ma Costa throughout this episode. Where Ma Costa is soft and warm, Mrs. Coulter is tough and cold. Ma Costa encourages Lyra to make choices and encourages her to be whoever she wants to be whereas Mrs. Coulter forced her will on Lyra and tried to turn into a smaller version of herself, with the hair and the dresses. A perfect copy.

Ma Costa tried to earn Lyra’s trust by telling her the truth about her mother. Mrs. Coulter constantly lied until she blurted out a truth because Lyra got under her skin and she lost control. Mrs. Coulter wished for Lyra to be quiet and to fully obey her and physically assaulted Lyra when she didn’t obtain obedience. Ma Costa gave Lyra the opportunity to speak, to yell, to let out her emotions and to express her feelings without resorting to punishment. Ma Costa allowed Lyra to keep her agency while Mrs. Coulter wanted to rob her of it.

Ma Costa was able to reclaim her status as a nurse/caretaker for Lyra almost immediately, while Mrs. Coulter was unable to act like a proper caretaker/mother because it was never in her nature. She failed Lyra where Ma Costa succeeded.

Ma Costa and Mrs. Coulter share similarities in their desperate quest to find their respective child. Ma Costa understands the length Mrs. Coulter would go for Lyra because she would do the same for Billy. However, while Ma Costa’s love may be pure, Mrs. Coulter’s seems to be rooted in toxicity. Ma Costa’s love doesn’t consume her. She is still a functional and stable person. She has people to support her and to keep her on the right path. 

In this episode, we see Mrs. Coulter slowly heading toward a downward spiral.  There’s a sense of hopelessness, frustration, and anger that surround her. She has no friends and no family, she drinks while wearing her pyjamas and is feeling suicidal. Control is slipping out of her grasp, but she ultimately remains mission-oriented and is set on getting Lyra back. 

We can also point out certain differences between the Gyptians and Mrs. Coulter. The Gyptians live in very small spaces where everything is compressed together which differs from the spacious apartment where Mrs. Coulter lives. However, there is this idea of tight places bringing people together, like a community, a family while Mrs. Coulter is all alone in her home with a daemon she keeps abusing. The Gyptians are seen in the daylights with the vast nature surrounding them. The whole setting allows Lyra (and the audience) to breathe, to appreciate the renewed freedom. In comparison, Mrs. Coulter’s apartment, in a certain way, feels oppressing and suffocating with the bright, almost blinding colors and the monkey constantly lurking around.

I love what they did with Ma Costa and I’m hoping to see more of her in the future episodes.

PS: I didn’t talk about John and Will Parry because just thinking about them makes me go into full screaming mode. I’m far too excited for Will, I can’t think properly.

Lyra, almost every scene: WE GOTTA FIND ROGER!!

Mrs. Coulter:

Conspiracy theory : it was Lord Boreal who left the Starbucks cup in game of thrones’ world after crossing the wrong window

So... Stelmaria totally named Pan.

Eurasian Otter Traits:

Playful, Intelligent, Defensive, Protective, Social, Charming, Resourceful, Fun-loving, Adaptable, Night-Owl, Mischevious

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.

daemons | EURASIAN OTTER

individuals with eurasian otter daemons tend to be introverts. they are resourceful, risk takers, inquisitive, and playful. they value privacy, freedom of thought, and opportunities.

Sense8 worldbulding headcanon

What if Angelica’s emotions and thoughts, her fear and her anger and her determination to bring Whispers down, played a part in her birthing that particular cluster. Those 8 were always destined to be a single cluster, of course, but when Angelica was gestating(?) she was reaching out subconsciously, praying for survivors, for fighters, for children that could survive.

And she birthed a cluster where every one of them is a badass.

I get that the show needed the cluster to have multiple fighters to make for exciting actions scenes, but how common would it really be that one cluster had 3 experienced fighters, a hacker, actor, scientist and badass survivor and DJ networker? They do kill a awful lot of mooks in the series.

Angelica birthed a terrifying cluster into the world, one that took down the Cannibal in three years. Other clusters are incredibly grateful but they never totally relax around them.

(Which is how the main cluster like it. Whenever anyone starts to poke into Angelica’s research they like to Visit. Make sure people remember the kill count the last time someone used their mother’s research for the wrong reasons.)

can i just point out how much i love the fact that wolfgang and will - the only two in the cluster to have explicitly told whispers to his face that they will fucking kill him - are actually the ones that kill him? Poetic Justice, Motherfucker

best moments from Amor Vincit Omnia

(according to me)

“Vive la Resistance” or as you say in English, “fuck off”

RILEY IS BI

DanIELA WITH THE GUN

Daniela’s EPIC verbal takedown of Whispers

Capheus painting the van

Lito’s fuCKING OBVIOUS COSTUME, oh my son. it looks so fake. what are you doing.

“Hellooooo! Buy me a drink?” “Sorry hon.” “…gay?” “we wish” 

Sun and Mun taking down cops together

Bug essentially telling Kala that both is good, and her face lighting the fuck up, and then her just going for it with both Rajan and Wolfgang

that big group dinner they all have together

“you big German lug, we love you”

Rajan and Capheus jamming out in the front seat of the car

“Oh my god, I can’t believe you’re here, and not in lots of little pieces” (Felix is a cinnamon roll and I love him)

DIEGO, BRO OF THE CENTURY??  Need me a friend like that.

THE FUCKING TOURIST BUS

Rajan being ride or die. also, related: Rajan and Wolfgang working together to save Kala’s life <3

The big explosion. You know the one.

“She wanted to introduce her family to me”

THE WHOLE ENTIRE WEDDING SCENE.  ALL OF IT.

Nomi’s mom on pot brownies

Kala x Wolfgang x Rajan!!!!!!!!!

That orgy scene. At the end. With all the flashbacks to the previous love scenes from both seasons. Was the best out of all of them.

and of course, “For our fans”

I cried

we stan a great fucking show.

upon a rewatch (sorta), some other favourite little moments in no particular order:

Will having the needle for Whispers tucked behind his ear like a pencil, what an icon your fave could Never

Wolfgang echoing Riley in season 1 by putting the gun to his head, and Kala echoing Will in stopping him

All the times you actually hear characters speaking their own languages instead of English

“You’re supposed to say trick-or-treat.”

Amanita’s awed “NOM! HOT DAMN!”

Explaining to the sapiens that Riley was visiting with Mr. Hoy while she’s just staring off into space looking concerned

Bicon Riley Gunnarsdottir

BPO showing up before Rajan had a chance to learn what was going on, and in the organized chaos Kala shoving her microscope into his arms

Wolfgang lifting Felix clear off the ground in a hug

Capheus and Sun’s fist bump

Rajan’s scandalized “My wife!” after he sees Wolfgang-as-Kala shoot a couple of people

Capheus picking Felix up wedding style

Wolfgang still crying but laughing at the same time after saving Kala

The fact that there was no awkwardness at all between Wolfgang and Rajan, no sideways glances, no feeling of being shunted off to one side by the other

“You big German lug, we love you!”

Kala’s adorable “Now we try, now we try, is okay!” while “fixing” the van

including the sapiens in listening to Depeche Mode

Felix and Wolfgang holding hands during the wedding

“Nomi’s not doing anything until Nomi’s had a fuckin’ cup of coffee.”

Amanita and Nomi bursting out laughing when they are pronounced wife and wife

Some of my favorite moments from the Sense8 finale:

Lito using the most stereotypical French disguise complete with giant baguettes, beret and a fake mustache

Mun showing up straight outta nowhere to save Sun, and them just being absolutely, sickeningly lovestruck in general

Dani reading Whispers for filth

The Squad enthusiastically pretending to be blissfully ignorant tourists in Naples

Kala being like, I know y’all are sad about me getting shot but can someone please try to resuscitate me first thanks a bunch

The return of Wolfgang’s bazooka

Lito directly telling Wolfgang “We love you”

Mun saying he met Sun’s family and it cutting to him meeting Jindo

That end montage flashing back to when the couples first met

The very last shot of the entire series being of Nomi and Amanita’s rainbow dildo

sense8: the only show brave enough to solve a love triangle with polyamory

so, post-canon…

Capheus wins the election, of course he does. He wins re-election, too…but probably not the one after that. It’s difficult, you see, to be the face of anti-corruption when your father-in-law is a drug lord.

He stays in politics, though. Zakia needs someone to drive her tour bus. 

Wolfgang and Felix go with the India Plan, and the story is that, after the scare of Kala being shot, she and Rajan hired this scary-looking Germans as bodyguards. After a year or so, Kala’s parents suspect something but would rather not think about it and Rajan’s father is oblivious. 

They’re all pretty good at keeping up the act - Felix is surprisingly fantastic at covering for the three of them - but now and then, someone will approach Rajan and suggest, sometimes genuinely sympathetically, that his wife might, just maybe, be…

Rajan is amazing at looking shocked and offended that you would even imply this about his beautiful wife. Of course she is perfectly honest, and their marriage has never been steadier! How dare you!

They have two daughters. The second is conspicuously light-skinned. People have almost given up commenting.

Lito has like two weeks in the middle of filming where he’s half-convinced that Hernando is going to leave him for Blake Huntington, because Blake can talk about Kant and metaphor and all those things that make Lito love Hernando so much but he Does Not understand. Hernando, of course, is stifling completely irrational spikes of rage every time he watches Lito kiss Blake, because…it never bothered him when it was women, you know, because he knew Lito wasn’t really interested. That it could never be real. But not only is Blake Huntington, well, Blake fucking Huntington, 3-time Academy Award winner, hot as a steaming griddle, and clever and educated to boot, but he’s male and Lito is out, and playing this role that is 50% his own story anyway, and here’s Blake being the love of his life… Meanwhile, Lito is off crying on a pillow somewhere because Hernando and Blake were talking about Proust…

Dani sorts this out by

a) shutting them in the bedroom until they talk to each other, and

b) sleeping with Blake Huntington and claiming dibs by right of First Bang. 

she also, incidentally, prints cards for herself as an agent, and gets a lot of calls

The whole cluster, plus friends and family, flies to LA for the opening night of Iberian Dreams. Lito spends half of it full-on sobbing, at his own acting and more importantly because his dream is coming true. 

The only one crying harder is Bug. 

Nomi and Amanita stay in San Francisco, for the most part. They take a lot of romantic vacations to visit their family around the world, and take turns bringing each other coffee and pastries while they co-write a fictionalized, urban fantasy version of their story. Because even if the details need to stay secret, there are some things you need to say loud and proud. 

Sun and Mun probably get married eventually, but they never have biological human children. They have a lot of dogs, and eventually Mun gets shot one too many times and she convinces him to quit the force and go work in a dojo. He loves it. Sun, meanwhile, is back at Bak, rebuilding her family name and doing finance by day and fistfights by night. The other fighters know her now, though. As do the kids Mun trains. It’s a really great extended family. 

Will does not move to Iceland so much as move to Riley, and Riley’s home is Iceland but she cannot stay there, not always. Fortunately, there are clubs all over Europe that will open the doors and vive la resistance for Riley Blue. 

In only a few years, she is pregnant again - though not with a child this time. With eight. 

They go home for this. She has nightmares, of the car and the frozen hill and the empty church in equal parts. 

It is nothing like that. They are on the beach, because it felt right, righter than her living room. Will holds her hands, as do Nomi, Lito, Sun, Capheus, Kala, Wolfgang. The sun is setting, but it is summer in Iceland; it is warm. Around the world, eight other people open their eyes and see the sunset as well, and their mother exhausted but smiling.

They will never be hunted. 

Some Extinct Relatives of Living Crocodylians Were Vegetarians

http://www.sci-news.com/paleontology/extinct-crocodyliforms-vegetarians-07336.html

Captain Marvel didn’t kill Thanos because it wasn’t her place.

Captain Marvel could have killed Thanos if she needed to.

Captain Marvel saved everyone’s lives when she destroyed Thanos’ ship.

Captain Marvel is not overpowered.

The entire point of a superhero, is that they are powerful enough to defeat the villain. Otherwise there’s no winning.

Captain Marvel is stronger than Thanos.

No one is stronger than the Infinity Stones. Captain Marvel is not stronger than Thanos when he’s using the Infinity Stones.

Captain Marvel is not weak.

Nobody could’ve taken a punch from the Power Stone. The impact might have even killed a regular human.

Captain Marvel is not useless. She saved everyone’s lives.

Thor, Scarlet Witch, Hulk and Dr Strange most probably could have destroyed Thanos’ ship. But they didn’t. So they needed Captain Marvel.

Captain Marvel didn’t have much screentime in Endgame because the film was a tribute to the original 6.

Captain Marvel had about the same amount of screentime as Spiderman and Black Panther. All three are the new faces of the Avengers.

Captain Marvel (film) did not have the same target audience as the other Marvel films. It was aimed at women and girls. If you’re not a woman or a girl, you have a higher chance of not liking it, because it wasn’t made to please you.

Your hate comments don’t change anything about the film or the character and probably don’t affect Brie Larson the way you want them to.

Film success is based off of money. Captain Marvel made a billion dollars. No one cares about your opinion.

If you found Carol Danvers bland, it’s probably because she doesn’t know who she is for half the film and then doesn’t have time to process what she’s been told about herself for the rest of the film.

We’ll probably see character development as Marvel progresses. Like what happens in every series ever.

I’m sorry to break it to you, but Captain Marvel WILL be in future Marvel films. If you don’t like her, don’t watch them. It’s not hard.

Captain Marvel is not arrogant. Or at least, not any more so than Iron Man and Thor. Why is it okay for them to be arrogant, but not her?

Brie Larson is one of the sweetest human beings in the world. She’s kind and thoughtful and determined to spread goodness.

Brie Larson never said she hated men. She only said she wishes women and people of colour got more opportunities, you know, because white men get more opportunities than anyone else.

The Avengers cast do not hate Brie Larson. Or, maybe they do. How can you tell? Do you personally know the actors well enough to know how they are around someone they dislike? Has anyone publicly stated that they hate her?

To those who said she should be more sexy, believe it or not, women do not exist for the pleasure of men. Her suit is practical. Brie Larson is a human being, you don’t get to treat her like anything less.

Captain Marvel is not Captain America’s replacement. They are different characters with different motivations, purposes, morals, powers, etc.

Every single Avenger would kick your ass for hating Captain Marvel. Every single Avenger would probably heartily agree that she is the most powerful Avenger, and only joke about disagreeing.

Chris Hemsworth has said that Thor is the strongest Avenger. No one called him out on it.

To those who said she should smile more, your sexism is showing.

To those who think Captain Marvel spreads the idea that stealing is okay, where was this energy for Scott Lang?

If you didn’t like the film, don’t watch it. Don’t comment on things about it, just scroll. It isn’t rocket science to ignore something you dislike. In fact, you look like a fool for choosing to write your hateful comment. You’re bringing negativity into your own life by commenting.

So these are my ideas of future rodents!  Can you guess what each of them evolved from? I gave them some (half-assed) latin names and colorations inspired by both the original ancestors as well as the modern animals that inspired me to create them, so it shouldn’t be too difficult.

Evolution Series: A Selection of Seals

Seals, sea lions and walruses, also known as pinnipeds, are incredible animals living in the border between land and sea. They are relatives of weasels and bears, and in some ancestors the resemblance is uncanny.
