I felt like writing daemon stuff so where we go;

- a group of friends rolling down a grassy hill, their daemons rolling or running after them

- friends camping out, enjoying a nice fire and roasting marshmallows, their daemons huddled against one another in a pile or stealing the perfect marshmallow their daemien JUST managed to make after burning like, ten.

- a woman’s kangaroo daemon absolutely beating the crap out of a stalker’s daemon.

- a teacher with a rooster daemon who hollers to get the class’s attention.

- a mother’s daemon tucking in the children’s daemon, giving them little animal kisses on the forehead and helping do voices for bedtime stories.

- custom portable aquariums for people with aquatic daemons

- kids in a calm neighborhood all driving around on their bikes, their daemons flying or running with them

Feel free to add more!!!

i wish there were more modern aus for his dark materials because i really want to know if the general consensus is that you’d share a twitter with your daemon or that you’d have separate accounts

Sir, here's your ord-

[fossabrained]

Daemonism things...

Not knowing what to say when someone asks about your form related jewellery.

Being careful not to answer "too fast" if asked what animal you would be.

That split second where you and your daemon are disagreeing over what to do next.

Knowing the whole journey of trying to work out if you are settled enough as a person yet to find a settled form.

Sitting by the hearth, studying for biology, a lion curled up dozing at my feet, golden in the firelight

Walking through the rain, a leopard padding along at my side as we head to our next class, his fur and my hair and clothes dappled with dark speckles from the falling drizzle

Sitting in a classroom, a Corsac fox sitting in the chair next to me, making idle banter in a pause in the teacher’s lecture

Driving home, a coyote perched in the shotgun seat, singing to the Spotify radio, my fingers tapping on the steering wheel in time and his sharp white teeth flashing in a wide grin at the amusing thought that just flashed between us

Settled on the porch railing, watching the rain fall just beyond the edge of the roof, a white-nosed coati hunched on the railing at my feet and watching it with me, quiet and peace flowing between us with no words necessary

Climbing up a maple tree while a raven flits from branch to branch, finding my way onto a comfortable branch high up and lying back, the raven changing into a stoat as easily as he had flapped to his last perch and stretching out on my stomach in the sun

Daemonism is a wonderful thing

Now that I’m thinking about daemons….

It really is a beautiful concept. I’ll never get over it.

A piece of your soul lives beside you as your best friend. You grow together and care for one another, certain that the deepest love each of you bears is for the other.

So really, you love, protect, and spend cherished time with yourself. The potent reflection of your innermost nature, your greatest companion…. Is you.

y'all know I’m a sucker for modern aus, also known as “dæmons in our here and now”

taking a photo of your dæmon falls in the same category as a selfie (dæfie? seldæfie?) but most people prefer taking selfies WITH their dæmons instead of individually, unless the situation calls for it like your cockatoo-dæmon hanging upside down somewhere or your elephant-dæmon looking so aesthetic against the sunset

y’know in snapchat how you have to customise a bitmoji to look like you and stuff? doing the same with your dæmon! of course those that are settled have it easier since there’s only one form they have to customise. unsettled will have to make an extra effort and customise every form their dæmon takes to add it on the sticker.

add more, come on!!

I think your daemon is generally supposed to be the conscience that stops you from eating chocolate before lunch, not the friend who helps you come up with justifications for that decision

Yet here we are

[fossabrained]

Thought

You can say what you want, having a daemon is awesome. I always get a second opinion on everything, whether I want it or not.

I'm practicing self love, basically, because he's talking to me affectionately, I talk to him even more affectionately and I basically talk to myself affectionately.

I love daemons.

Active daemian blogs, could you like or reblog this post?

We really wanna get involved in the community and make friends with other dae and daemians!

#we're kind of still lurking around #definitely hard to keep track though xD

*heelys into class 20 minutes late with a large iced coffee and an enormous raven perched on my shoulder* sorry i'm late. maurice wanted to stop for drinks *holds up the cup so the raven can take a sip*

#so relatable actually

[fossabrained]

Imagine daemons weren’t animals, but weird creatures mashed together. The world would definitely be a lot more interesting! Like different traits coming from different animals.

You know what? Screw having normal animals like bats or owls or horses as daemons. Why not have a gilded abomination of legs and wings and eyes that somehow is the perfect definition of You???

My dæmons can tell me to love myself and to be responsible but they cannot tell me to not put plastic in the microwave

It never made sense to me why people would bother to trash and tune others for the way they see their own daemon... Every person to their own! One daemon, two daemons, spiritual daemon, imaginary friend daemon, tulpa daemon, seperate entity soul daemon, etc...

Like everyone says, your identity is yours, you don’t need to prove, change or explain yourself for others~

From the start, Illaeus used to be just the imaginary friend that just pops up and accompanies me, but now we’ve developed to being two seperate souls that shares the one mind. He is his own mind and being~ we are in the same boat as you!

i know people explain daemonism as being a psychological thing and that daemons are like...your subconscious voice/pseudo imaginary friends and while they’re not wrong i guess i don’t see the issue with like...NOT seeing your daemon as ‘just’ that...

like personally for me constantly seeing eulalia as just my own subconscious voice isn’t as fun or nice to me. eulalia is a part of me yes but she’s also her own entity within me. she’s got separate thoughts and feelings on things. i like seeing eulalia as a being that’s separate from myself. yes we are one but she’s also her own person.

and i know it’s not a popular thing for some people who are fine with daemons being their subconscious voice but eulalia is not. ‘just an imaginary friend’. am i making sense? i don’t know how to explain this without sounding like i’m nuts or something. like life of death situation if i had to say it then YES eulalia is not real and she’s just in my head but. otherwise i can pretend strongly enough that she feels real to me... yes? yes. thanks.
