After Ursula, here comes Vanessa’s story 😈🐙🏰

What is it like being a daemon?

It is like holding your own hand. Might seem a bit funny, can't really do much, and may be too soft or too rough. May not like what you see, may nit pick at little details or blemishes. But you also feel warmth, and support, and know you are never alone. You come as a pair. One holding the other. And just like your own hands they can only go so far before they inevitably meet back up again. -Ashe/Cayde

Ok, I have a question for al the daemians, what are you supposed to do at cie-day? Today's ours and we don't know what we have to do :/

In honor of His Dark Materials coming out today/tomorrow, and finding out that the writers were playing DnD during production, here are my home brew rules for adding Daemons to a campaign for 5th Edition DnD.

(Feedback is welcome but this is my first home brew so please be gentle)

Duh... I made a wallpaper of Kleytos and me and... We really like it. (The first one is the original).

A random thought: I feel like me and Theet display more physical affection towards each other day to day now than we would if he were corporeal, cause if he were corporeal we would be more concerned about giving off a more stoic and cool appearance.

Animorphs Battle Markings AU

This was actually an AU I came up with quite a while back but haven’t gotten time to develop. 

The premise is that in canon Animorphs (including Ax, and also any other morph-capable beings) don’t develop physical scars on their natural form from battle wounds received in morph. But in this AU, any injuries they receive in morph appear as skin discoloration/marks/conditions in their natural form.

Rachel and Jake develop freckles.

Marco’s skin peels.

Cassie has discoloration.

Tobias develops striping/speckles on his feathers.

Ax’s fur brightens and spots (and this happens with all Andalites).

As all scars, these marks can and will fade. But with their constant battling, it always comes back. Some of the more severe injuries leave very permanent/long lasting marks.

Like in his dark materials is there a distance limit

The answer is sort of complicated, but there is usually a distance limit. It is incredibly painful for most people to be more than a couple of a fit from their dæmon (though it varies a bit). Early on in the book the main character experiences excruciating pain when her dæmon wanders off to do something and he was probably no more than 10 feet away. 

However, there are three ways mentioned for a dæmon to learn how to move long distances from their human. 

The first way it is possible to is to undergo a ritual separation. There are places that dæmons cannot enter, and if a person goes in there than the dæmon must be left behind until they come out. After that they can go very far from one another. This ceremony is a right of passage for witches and shamans in a lot of cultures. Though it is very painful. 

In addition, in the newer novels it is shown that people do not always get along with their dæmons. This usually reflects some deep discontentedness or internal conflict (I will not go into more detail because that is a whole other complicated thing, and I am writing up a post about it). In extreme circumstances the dæmon may run away, moving far from the person and going through the extreme pain for a while until they are used to it. 

The third way is by accident. If some catastrophe accidentally forces a dæmon to go far from their person (for instance being caught in a water current and pulled apart) then they will be able to separate.  

So to summarize a kind of long answer, there is usually a distance limit but there are instances where people and dæmons learn (or are forced) to overcome it. Though as another note, seeing someone without their dæmon is frighting for most people in the books. Its compared to seeing someone walk around with a severed head. So aside from witches, most people who can separate from their dæmon hide the fact from others. 

This was a fun question, feel free to ask more!
