DO NOT REBLOG.

a concept by phillip pullman, in which your soul represents itself as an animal manifestation that has the ability to converse and exist beside you. They are your living conscious, gives names the same way you would name a child - meant to love you in return as you love them. uatchit settles as a caracal, known for being independent. A symbol of making something purposeful of your life. A deadly hunter.

                      anyone can interact with clint and u in this verse, and liking this gives me blanket permission to reply to any sent memes with clint and u if the fancy strikes me.

                    verse has playground status: interactable with everyone.

further reading can be found beneath the cut, the laws of which i abide by within this borrowed universe:

most daemons take on the gender opposite of their soulmate. keyword: most. some prefer, as do their soulmates’, no gender allegiance and some come out the same gender (this often leads to speculation revolving around the concept of homosexuality). i.e my clint is a cis male, and u is female.)

daemons may talk to each other and can speak to the soulmate’s of other daemons, but never must someone touch another person’s daemon. this is exempted, usually, by relationships (parental, romantic, familial, platonic but in the most extreme senses etc). Ii is highly rude, and with negative intent, can leave someone leaving nauseous and hurting, and worst of all: vulnerable.

daemons and soulmates are connected. i.e when clint was brainwashed, u was as well. when clint gets hurt, u will experience it as well and vice versa. due to clint’s deafness, u is indeed deaf - she can understand sign language and read most lips. nonverbally, she will communicate in morse with the heavy thump of her tail/paws.

daemon’s “settle” upon maturity. once one reaches an approximate age where their body (and most argue mind as well) is deemed “adult”, their daemon will come into a form in that which reflects their soulmate. until that point, most daemons pick and choose, feel out different bodies and how it reflects who they both are the most.

if you die, your daemon dies. if your daemon dies, there is no worse life to live than that.

most people cannot go very far from their daemons. separation can cause explicit discomfort to the point of excruciating pain dependent on the distance. It is often referred to as pulling. sometimes, death can occur. there are instances that are heard of - of people enduring such long distances that it would seem they do not even have a daemon. this is on purpose. this is called voluntary separation (though there is some forced), and only strong creatures can endure it. for who would want to?
