Ok, so I decided to finally catch up with the His Dark Materials series and I'm near the end of s2 and some stuff is just kinda icky...or maybe that's just me.
It's been ages since I read the books and I don't remember how it was there but: were the books making as big a deal of the difference between children and adults in regard to "sin"? Like the show makes it out like in Lyra's world as soon as a child hits puberty the adults just go "you're a sinner now". Also how /do/ they actually differentiate between child and adult? Puberty's a whole process, takes years. Hell, your brain isn't out of puberty until you're like in your 20s.
Also all the misogyny in Lyra's world is just pissing me off but I hope that's intentional xD
(Edit: Oh but I do love Ruth Wilson, she's fab)

Since you are probably starting working on Glee now as well as completing Terro, may I ask what is your idea of differentiating Glee's and Daizzi's concepts? Both are technically kwami of joy. Is it more of "dreams" in Daizzi's case?
Yes, Daizzi puts the person in a trance where they see/live through their deepest desire while Glee just makes anyone feel happy with basically no reason why they feel happy.

currently watching a real life doctor analyzing the science behind the last of us tv show and talking about immunity and the vaccine and *chuckles* oh well to say neil druckmann didn’t know what he was doing is really an understatement.
also, if immunity were to be somehow THE ANSWER you know who else are shown as immuned through the show? animals. kinda surprising how, again, the fireflies will get as far as murdering ellie as soon as they get their hands on her, when “we’ve never seen immunity like this before!” when we see dem little duckies, giraffies and doggies and horsies walking fine as hell in this post-apo world.
