We have to be all those difficult things like cheerful and kind and curious and patient, and we’ve got to study and think and work hard, all of us, in all our different worlds, and then we’ll build… The Republic of Heaven. — Lyra Belacqua

hdm fan week | day four: favourite relationship

Lyra & Will

The Dust pouring down from the stars had found a living home again, and these children-not-children, saturated with love, were the cause of it all.

im really tired of that One Popular Post talking about how heretic hdm is because “they kill god with a knife” like ok its been a while since my last reread but from what i remember lyra and will are actually trying to save god and they simply open his casket and he evaporates and idk i think it’s a big distinction

Mrs Coulter (ink, coloured pencils, charcoal, oil & digital) I’ve re-read Philip Pullman’s His Dark Materials recently and couldn’t resist taking on this mean lady and her pet monkey.

These Hebrew covers are awesome!

If you, like me, were 12/13 or so in 2007, you probably remember The Golden Compass (aka The Northern Lights). Before the movie and the 2nd and 3rd parts of the HDM series could make me bitter, I really really adored this book. I was feeling a bit nostalgic tonight, I guess.

And for your amusement, here’s some old TGC fanart, straight from 2007. Oh boy.

i really hate when people dismiss the ending of his dark materials because it leans into the trope "love saves the world". truly, that is what the story is about, but reducing it to a cliché is doing a disservice to the point the story is making. when it says that love says the world, it's rewriting the meaning of sin by saying that giving into desire is not shameful. it's telling us to be brave enough to experience. it's saying that dying for love can have powerful impact, but living for it is much more romantic. it's saying that storytelling saves the world, because telling stories is a language of love. it's saying that the bonds we create with other people will outlast death as long as we share our memories. it's showing how a simple childhood friendship is extraordinary enough to change the course of a war between heaven and earth. is there a better way to end a trilogy that intertwines so many paths of love than with a kiss that shifts the fabric of multiple universes?

Asriel, Marisa and Lyra Parallels in HDM S1E8: Betrayal

Both Asriel and Marisa were prepared to kill that night. Only one of them went through with it.

Lyra and Marisa are both surprised and uncertain when they find out what Asriel is planning to do, and neither of them wants to be involved. Asriel is disappointed - for a moment - because the only two people he might actually care about aren't impressed by or approving of his grand plan.

Will you say goodbye to her? No. No, I have work. It's the very least you could do.
