ID: Digital illustration of a family of anthro iberian magpies in an old fashioned home bakery setting. All three have dark feathers on the top of their heads and light feathers underneath, with blue tails; the two children in the foreground have lighter toned mottling on their head to match juvenile markings. The brother and sister in the foreground are helping make pies, and their father has just pulled a still hot pie out of the brick oven to set it out to cool; another pie is visible cooling in the open window, and it's a lovely sunny day outside.

I will be making art and/or fics for this i swear to GOD because i just,, I know exactly how I'd make the daemons work in the showfall media setting.

If anyone's read the original HDM trilogy, you know the eerie description of the nurse and her dog daemon and how they seemed cold and disconnected and stripped of personality?

Think of that for the showfall "actor" daemons. While they're not severed, showfall media's control puts a disconnect between the "actors" and their daemons. The daemons are cold and don't speak and there's just something very off about them, and if you watch them long enough you realize it's because they dont move. They follow their person almost robotically (think NPC-boo) if they're too big to sit on a shoulder or fit in a pocket, but if they can sit on their person they just sit there. Almost like Props.

Of course, when the "actors" break free that connection to their daemon comes back all at once and can be somewhat of a shock as the daemon very suddenly regains awareness and life and personality.

So for Ranboo, his daemon would likely come back to herself in starts and stops, gaining awareness before its stripped away again and again, usually managing only a glimpse here and there, only ever regaining real control for a few minutes at a time. But otherwise she's silent and follows Ranboo around with little expression or input.

Iberian Magpie happy to eat the fruits of a tree I couldn't identify. I think it might be a Melia Azedarach, a chinaberry. Whatever it was, it was very popular with the magpies as several times a day a large flock came to eat the fruits.
