go to the forest together and collect cool things for spells. kiss him under the tallest trees and tell him he’s the most magical thing in there

upon a rewatch (sorta), some other favourite little moments in no particular order:

Will having the needle for Whispers tucked behind his ear like a pencil, what an icon your fave could Never

Wolfgang echoing Riley in season 1 by putting the gun to his head, and Kala echoing Will in stopping him

All the times you actually hear characters speaking their own languages instead of English

“You’re supposed to say trick-or-treat.”

Amanita’s awed “NOM! HOT DAMN!”

Explaining to the sapiens that Riley was visiting with Mr. Hoy while she’s just staring off into space looking concerned

Bicon Riley Gunnarsdottir

BPO showing up before Rajan had a chance to learn what was going on, and in the organized chaos Kala shoving her microscope into his arms

Wolfgang lifting Felix clear off the ground in a hug

Capheus and Sun’s fist bump

Rajan’s scandalized “My wife!” after he sees Wolfgang-as-Kala shoot a couple of people

Capheus picking Felix up wedding style

Wolfgang still crying but laughing at the same time after saving Kala

The fact that there was no awkwardness at all between Wolfgang and Rajan, no sideways glances, no feeling of being shunted off to one side by the other

“You big German lug, we love you!”

Kala’s adorable “Now we try, now we try, is okay!” while “fixing” the van

including the sapiens in listening to Depeche Mode

Felix and Wolfgang holding hands during the wedding

“Nomi’s not doing anything until Nomi’s had a fuckin’ cup of coffee.”

Amanita and Nomi bursting out laughing when they are pronounced wife and wife

would it have counted as bestiality if tobias had fucked that hawk

It always bugged me in The Logging Adventure book how Cassie freaks out when they all morph ants, and she’s having an anxiety attack on the floor and Rachel has to hold her to try to calm her down, and the whole time Cassie is thinking ‘oh, I can’t believe I’m making Rachel hug me! Rachel hates to give hugs, she must be so uncomfortable!’

Like, Cassie, babe, sugarcheeks. What Rachel are you talking about?

The Rachel who nearly got herself stuck in a cat morph because a girl that she wasn’t even that good of friends with anymore was upset? The Rachel who was like, ‘This girl needs cuddles! I don’t care what it costs!’? That Rachel?

The Rachel who crouched in a construction site with both arms wrapped around her friends to shield and protect them from harm, but also to comfort them? That Rachel? 

The Rachel who in the future stands in the hallway of a busy hospital and hugs her cousin who has just manipulated her into hunting down their ally-turned-enemy because she feels bad for him that he has to do things like that? That Rachel?

Cassie. Sweetie. Toodlebug. I know you were hopped up on ant pheromones, but if you slander Rachel like that again I am going to have to revoke your empath license. Rachel will hug anyone who needs it and she will never feel bad about it.

Hello! I’m hoping your blog is still active, I’m assuming that’s what the little green dot means :) I’m reeeeaaally new at dæmonism, like I’ve been doing it for a few days, and I was wondering what weight projection feels like? Coz I’m projecting my dæmon as being sat on my leg and I can actually feel a weird tingly weighty feeling on my leg where I’m projecting her and idk if I’m doing it right. I don’t actually know if I’m doing any of this right 😂 thanks for reading this, if you do :) x

Hi! Welcome to daemonism and the community ^^

That’s a really interesting question, actually- I haven’t really thought about it before. Most of Splash’s (my daemon’s) forms are either very small (rhino beetle, horsefly, chickadee) or very large (coyote, bison, python), so the “weight” of them varies widely.

For really small forms I can kind of describe it as that feeling you get when you’re sure there’s a bug on you, but there actually isn’t. Kind of a “I’m not touching you!” sensation? “Tingly weighty feeling” actually describes it pretty well. And honestly for the rest of them it just takes a little extra “immersion” (for lack of better word) to project weight. To use the example of one of our comfort forms (Indian rock python):

(Big Snek)

Back to the “I’m not touching you” feeling, put your hand flat out on a table or something and pretend there’s a heavy cube or ball holding it down. If you respect the rule of the fake cube and accept that you can’t move your hand, your hand starts feeling a little heavier. In this “cuddling with Big Snek” diagram, Splash is on top of me, and while I could technically get up because he’s not corporeal, I’m not going to unless he moves. So by default of him being in that space and me accepting being “pinned,” it’s kind of like tricking my body into thinking something is there weighing me down, and I feel heavier where I’m projecting him. The idea that he takes up space is important- there’s gotta be room for him.

It’s all kind of conceptual and I’m not sure that ANY of this makes sense to anyone reading my ramblings (I get very long winded and I apologize), feel free to let me know if that’s the case and I’ll try again! TL;DR I think it sounds like you’re projecting weight perfectly fine, and this is basically just how I got to a point where it feels easier and more natural. If you find that you have forms that your daemon takes frequently, do a quick google to see how the size and weight of that animal is, relative to a human! It’s super easy and very helpful, though of course you don’t have to strictly abide by reality with this sort of thing.

Anyways I hope literally any of this helped, again if it doesn’t make sense I’m happy to clarify, and I’m always happy to try and answer any other questions ^^

I have noticed that most characters with bird dæmons on the tv show (Ma Casta, the Master, Serefina, etc...) wear some sort of leather brace on their non-dominant arm and hand. Do you think this so their dæmons can land there without the claws damaging them?

Oh, I think that’s definitely the intention for the bracer! Physically speaking, the daemons are corporeal and they can harm you, even if unintentionally. In Northern Lights (this might be a book one spoiler if you’re a show-only fan, sorry!) when Lyra is rescued from the intercision machine, Pan is in a wildcat form iirc, and he clings to her so tightly that he scratches her, but she doesn’t mind the pain. So, there is no malice in Pan hurting her, but he still hurts her.

I feel like for birds, getting wounded and scratched would be fairly common (and something that Philman didn’t seem to consider in the books, as he usually does lmao), and the show had a very nice way of approaching that issue. I feel like birds of prey daemons are the most common ones to have to use a leather bracer, because they strike me as birds who might hurt you, even accidentally; probably anything bigger than a parrot would require a bracer, or only small birds like robins and greenfinches wouldn’t require leather bracers as they don’t have such dangerous claws. I can imagine - while we haven’t seen them on the show - that other types of daemons that might hurt or wound or even make their humans dirty, might require special gear to prevent that, and it’s also possible that padded shoulders outfit - considering the fashion of Lyra’s world ranges from victorian to mid-50s, especially in the show where women dress very 30s/40s - most birds that aren’t from gyptians, usually stay on their human’s shoulders. I can’t imagine an aristocrat with a hawk daemon using a super simple leather bracer like Ma Costa’s, so it will either be a fancy one or they’d adapt the shoulders to take the daemon.

Finally scanned all my Animorphs bookmarks.  

Yup.  My childhood.

Witchy Tips: How to Make a Sea Altar

Craft stores supply many natural, sea-related items for you to use. However, if you live within a few hundred miles of the coastline, an annual “pilgrimage” to the shorelines to collect.

seagull feathers

sea shells

driftwood

dried seaweed

sea glass

loose sand

sandstone

pressed palm leaves

dried coconut

The difference between a sea themed table and a altar are the intentions and the energy you put into it. To make your altar start by pouring ocean water lightly over your altar to “refresh” the ocean energy, burn coconut incense to raise tropical vibrations, play “Sounds of the Ocean” soundtracks and meditate near your altar.

When using items for a spell try using sand in the color that matches your intention. If your a water sign, add your zodiac sign to a candle. Add a mermaid or a water goddess to it. Move the items around and or change them out as needed, do not let it get stagnant, it needs to flow just like the ocean and streams.
