Large Daemons (Golden Compass)

HDM Merchandise! Finally! 🤩

Some headcanons!

Touch ID! Phones can regongise a dæmon’s paw print or maybe a feather print or just their skin in general as well as yours, so that if you’re in an emergency your dæ can unlock your phone for you! (Also would probably end up with you finding a lot of selfies your dæ took whilst you were looking away from your phone)

Playgrounds! Playgrounds having special adaptations so dæmons of all shapes and sizes can play with their humans. Would probably include more open spaces for bigger dæs and not having climbing frames that are so narrow and closed in, whilst also having places where children with smaller dæs can hide out and feel protected and closed in. Also the playgrounds would probably be bigger in general for kids with bigger dæmons and if the people caring for them have bigger dæs

Sleepovers with your dæ! Kids and teens staying up late with their dæmons and nicking sweets from the cupboards. Watching scary films on their phone and comforting eachother when it gets scary (and trying not to be too loud and wake up parents).

Feel free to add more! Like seriously, add more we are obsessed with modern dæmon headcanons 😂

Ilvermorny headcanons pt. 3:

- Besides the wampus, wampus students also use a bear as a mascot - Video game/board game night in the dining hall - Common room sleepovers - Sleepovers in the gym - Icebreakers on the first three days - Wizard posters in the classroom talking about respecting others - Bulletin boards in almost every hall - They also have moving staircases and there’s constantly students yelling “who the fucks idea was it to have moving staircases?!?!” - Sometimes music plays in the halls especially in the morning right before the first classes - All United States, Central America, and Canadian holidays are celebrated and lessons taught on them even if they have no magic significance - Lots of magical petitions - Students learn about the witch hunts and witch trials from all around the world, not just the Salem witch trials - Everyone just kinda assumes detention is gonna be like breakfast club - Magical fireworks on each Independence Day and New Year’s Eve - People genuinely think there is dark magic in a Walmart and Target at 1 am - Plays in theater class are always different but they always do one of wicked - Students decorate their robes and hats - When students were hearing about hp across the Atlantic Ocean it was one the few times they got to say “what the fuck is wrong with the uk rn??” - During the entire month of October there’s a movie played in the dining hall/great hall either a witchy movie or a scary movie - Entire floors of the castle are dedicated the haunted houses/halls on Halloween and sometimes a few days prior - Sometimes if parents refused to let their child attend ilvermorny those particular students would find each other in their schools or towns form their own witch/wizard group very commonly they are disguised as “innocent” looking groups, such as cheerleaders or Girl Scouts - Everyone wears pink on Wednesday and black on mondays or fridays - Quidditch cheerleaders, and of course cheerleaders for the magical version of no-maj sports - Students not only study elemental witchcraft but also bone, energy, dream, crystal, mammal, insect, smoke, traditional, traditional medicine, science, art, blood, space, voodoo, psychic, music, and food witchcraft - Students have historical witch/wizard role models - YouTube tutorial on certain potions - When the craft came out almost every girl got the same outfits as the four main women, same thing happened when American horror story: coven came out - Students, specifically girls, like to do the nose twitch thing from bewitched, occasionally adding the ding aling sound - Hallucinogenic drugs including traditional drugs and/or medicine like peyote are not looked down upon at all, this also includes, depending on who you’re talking to, marijuana - Some wizards and witches find magic shows offensive - But sometimes magic shows are preformed by actual wizard and witches - Lots of magic, especially cleaning magic, is literally done with a wave of the hand or a snap of two fingers - If a student is shopping in their local wizarding alley for their first year at ilvermorny and they are going to adopt a pet there, there is a wizarding animal shelter, they make sure students learn to adopt and not shop when it comes to companions - If a witch is called a bitch by a man they usually respond “no im a witch”

Which of Jake, Rachel, Tobias, Cassie, and Marco does Ax find the most fun to say? Or do you think sometimes he morphs human and has a grand ol' time saying his own name?

I'm inclined to say "Tobias" is the nicest to say, simply because it has the most syllables. But by that same token, "Aximili-Esgarrouth-Isthill" has, like, nine syllables. So that's pretty fun too.

But they're all potentially fun. "Jake" is really easy to draw out, since it forces you to open your mouth so wide. "Rachel" has that same long aaaaaaaayyyyy at the beginning, with a bonus tongue curl at the end. "Cassie" is so breathy and tickles your tongue a little. "Marco" still sounds right even if you put the hard-C sound on both syllables, making it delightful to say slowly.

And if you just said at least one Animorph's name out loud to yourself, you're contractually obligated to reblog.

I like to add herbs to my breakfasts, too 🍳🧇🥓
