talk to me about profound, formative events in adulthood impacting people's settled daemons. are their shapes set in stone? would a strong enough experience manage to cause a crack in their settled shape? is there such a thing as daemon dysphoria? do our daemons define us, or do we define them?
#his dark materials#daemons#like ok i know daemon settlement is related to dust and adulthood or whatever#but they reflect peoples souls and the kind of people they are#AND THAT CAN CHANGE#our souls can be broken or elevated at any time of our lives#we can experience things so profound and of such incredible importance that i truly believe a person can be changed at their core#at any moment of their life#i was thinking about recently when i took an mbti test for fun for the first time since i was 20#so arguably an adult and would have had a long set daemon by hdm standards#mbti as most other personality tests widely available on the internet are bullshit but still#a few years back it consistently would give me infp and i definitelt related to that#now its enjf and yea. i grew and changed a lot over these years and the defining qualities do seem to fit#so that made think about my own daemon again and while before an african civet seemed the perfect fit now i found im a gray wolf#[using the daemonpage forum for reference btw; their analyses are superb]#anyways yea#this just led me to think about how constricting the concept of settled daemons is#people change over their whole life#sometimes the most defining changes dont happen during adolescence. sometimes we 'grow up' more than once#what happens then#granted i have not read everything pullman ever wrote so i might be wrong#but i dont think this has been ever properly explored#i want to talk about this so bad
