#ask me what i was thinking of back during the nimona daemon au and im like

[acaciapines]

I am completely willing to hear a rant on why the ending of amber spyglass fucked over Lyra and pan. I always thought it was off, but I don’t know why to be honest

dfklghgh so the honest answer is. its been years since ive read hdm. im sure if i reread them now i might have Thoughts and Feelings but i cant give a rant about things i read years ago and only half-remember.

but!! in my long daemonfic trends post i talk about my issues with lyra and pan in hdm!!! and that was made after i'd recently read the books, so the information is actually up to date and i still stand by what i said there! i also have the tag 'daetalk' which might have more posts about them in there, but i truly do not remember.

the long and short of it from what i remember is simply that hdm and i have very different thoughts on daemons and how important they are to both society and their respective other half. hdm is more interested in the relationship between lyra and will than lyra and pan and due to that pan ends up sidelined by the end of it. (also kirjava. oh my god kirjava). hdm might be where daemons are from but i have taken them and ran and i will fistfight pullman in a parking lot over this.
