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

tbh still angry at the complete miscasting of Lin Manuel Miranda as Lee Scoresby. He was far too poor an actor for the role.

There. I've said it. A weight off my mind.

#no yeah #lin really was Not a good choice #hes not a bad actor per say but. he was not lee scoresby he was lin manuel miranda playing lee scoresby

truly think one of the other lowkey funniest moments in hdm is when mrs coulter says she and asriel should've kept and raised lyra. like it's such a poignant scene, and i see where she was coming from, but also she was completely wrong. oh god. if there are two people who should not be around a child it's asriel "child killer" belacqua and marisa "child torture, for science" coulter. like, mostly staying away from lyra for a lot of her childhood was in fact the best thing they could've done for her. good job team. that is not the thing to regret here

Midnight Mass 🤝 His Dark Materials

The Catholic Church is evil, but the villain in charge is a woman⁉️🫨

Edit: a lot more true of the former than the latter

I just finished the Dark Materials show for the first time. For one, it broke my heart and changed my life. For two, I desperately wish they hadn't cast Hamilton Man as Lee. It bothers me down to my very core. I can't explain it. I can't even look at Lee content in his tag cause it's all Him. I long to be free.
