Prompt: Guilt || His Dark Materials || Jopair x Jupiter

A/N: oh boy... here we go ... my version of hdm, where Jopari is alive... i think i actually have an idea for this......

jupiter was sitting with Lyra, with her hand on Joparis knee, as the children were telling stories of their life.

"you left him to die" the whispers started. Jopari started to space out, not able to hear the chatter of the children, but instead hear whispers reminding him of when he left Lee Scoresby to die. it was not intentional, but even Lee had told him to go.

Jupiter noticed Jopari was silent, not even chuckling anymore, and turned to see his hood up and face dark. it looked as if he wasn't even there.

"Jopari? Are you alright?" she moved to put her hand on his cheek and make him look at her. his eyes were wide and so dark, like the dark brown of his iris was consumed by his pupil.

"Dad?" will whispered.

"he needed you and you left him, you are a bad friend." the Harpy whispered to him.

"Jopari, listen to my voice, this happened to Lyra and Will earlier." she moved to straddle his lap, both hands on his face, pushing his hood off. she leans her forehead against his and closes her eyes, moving her hands to his shoulders to shake him up. "baby wake up im here, don't listen to the voices." she whispered to him.

in the midst of this happening, Lyra hears a voice call to her in the crowd around them. It was none other than the Aeronaut, Lee Scoresby.

"well, if it isn't my favorite child that isn't mine." he says, smiling at Lyra and they hug.

"Lee, Jopari is needing your help." Lyra tells him and points to where Jupiter is straddling his lap and trying to get his attention desperately.

Lee walked over, setting a hand on Jupiter's shoulder, and she looks up. her eyes light up and she smiled a little, but then she started to tear up by the thought of not saving her man. Lee helped her to her feet, and knelt down in front of the shaman.

"hey, mister Shayman, did you think you were the cause of my death?" he asked out loud and Jopari blinked, slowly coming to. he looked towards the voice he heard and his eyes widened and they grab each others hands and Lee helps him to his feet. "you didn't cause my death, i did. i told you to go find the kids, obviously you did. but i got myself killed, not you."

Lee brought Jopari close to him so they could hug, and jopari hugged the man tightly.

"oh how i have missed you, friend." Jopari says.

"thank you, Lee." Jupiter whispered.

His Dark Materials kinda flipped my whole world upside down when Lee Scoresby said "You love her. It's not enough though, is it? Love. It doesn't mean you won't hurt her. It doesn't mean she's safe with you. It doesn't work that way."

Confession

Me: I don’t have a type 

also me: liking/loving every dark haired funny, gallant, loyal character

[flippityflaps]

[kraniumet]

the dilemma:

I like james mcavoy and think it's good casting vs. I cannot forgive the golden compass hbo show for starting on a scene, not of lyra, but of her irrelevant dad

[aercnaut]

why did it take a h.dm shitpost video for me to realize that after serafina gave lee the cloud pine he quietly says "thank you ma'am" BITCH WHAT THE FUCK

[shit-sorry-fuck-mybad]

Alright who was supposed to tell me that after years of waiting for season three and technically forgetting that HDM existed I would be re watching the first and second season and becoming obsessed all over again to the point where now I also have to re read the fucking books cause all I want is CONTENT?! WHICH ONE OF YOU DIDNT DO THEIR JOB?!

Playing Octopath Traveler II as a huge nerd feels a little like the beginning of a weird joke:

Prince Zuko, capitalist Lee Scoresby, Caleb Widogast and Cleric Sherlock Holmes walk into a bar…

I'm late to the party and nobody will read this but I want to rant (SPOILERS His Dark Materials 2x07//The Subtle Knife book)

So. Lee. Lee Scoresby, what a man. They did him fucking dirty in the show. Because what was so good of his Alamo, what made it WORK for me, was that in the end, he did it. He had one last chance to help and he succeeded. And after he managed that, then he let go. In the show his last stand is incomplete, and that's endemic of a problem I have with the storytelling on vogue rn. Book Lee struggled, saw his options dwindling, and against massive odds had one last triumph before leaving. One last big win even among the loss. The show takes away that win. He helped, but he didn't succeed and in the end the one thing he tried to avoid happened - twofold at that. And that's just... Bleak. Narratively it feels that, unless it's the win to end all wins, protagonists can't get a lasting upper hand. Any sacrifices are rendered useless down the line, any wins temporary, and I for one am getting sick of it

thinking about when lee scoresby said “you love her but that’s not enough is it” and how that ties into the main thesis of his dark materials about free will / intention / “i cant choose my nature but i can choose what i do” etc ….. its like maybe really loving someone isn’t something you can control but you can choose what you do with that love for them and how you treat them and what you’re willing to sacrifice for them which is the big thing the main characters all learn
