HIS DARK MATERIALS (2019–2022) — Season Two

[ohgodsimback]

I just finished the His Dark Materials trilogy and I feel so... Empty?

It's been a while since I've read a series that made me so sad when the story was over.

O que você vê nessa imagem?

Okay, duas coisas

1. Duas mulheres (no sentido bloodborne da palavra) mexendo em algum tipo de máquina

2. Aquela cena em A Luneta Âmbar em que a Mrs. Coulter tenta tirar a mecha de cabelo da Lyra da máquina que a igreja fez pra matar ela

At the recommendation of a friend, I started reading the Golden Compass. Lyra and Pan remind me of Lift and Wyndle.

Who is the best Rogue in fiction published since 1980 and why is it Lyra "Silvertongue" Belacqua?

Maybe? I haven't actually read His Dark Materials.

But here's a hot take: your Rogue card is immediately revoked if you're an Oh So Special Chosen One. (Even if you're Locke Lamora? Yes, even then.) You can still be roguish, just not a Rogue. Rogues don't have prophecies about them, don't pull swords off stones, and don't inherit thrones (though they might steal a few). Rogues are nobodies, the salt of the earth, and they aren't destined to do anything. They make their own luck. Like this guy.

I never cease to admire Phillip Pullman...

The first book described the process of cutting children off from their daemons in order to 'protect them from sin'. Lyra said that she couldn’t imagine what it would be like to be cut off from her daemon, that she couldn’t be apart from him.

But in the end it turns out that she herself “cuts off” him from herself, leaving for the land of the Dead, she herself betrays him. As a result, they become further and further from each other and in the end he leaves her...

He literally outlined all the worst that could happen at the very beginning and made it seem like the evil was defeated, but in the end the worst still happened, just not in the way we expected it.

I hadn't drawn so many animals in the same picture ever! I've decided to ignore anything canon and this is what actually happens the whole time and they are all happy :_)

Click on the image please I worked a lot on it <3

i just finished the his dark materials trilogy and im almost weeping with how it's one of the most unique, and maybe the best, ya fiction ive ever read. i cant believe i never got into it as a kid.

i dont know if ive ever read a ya series that tells you it's okay and necessary and beautiful to grow older and that treats the inherent loss of childhood as something sad but important & wondrous at the same time, and something you can learn again. the way it shows sexuality in a way kids can understand but doesn't for one second talk down to its young readers about it and knows how to maturely express it to its audience. the way it, as a series created in the 90s, was unafraid to show explorations of said sexuality, even of same sex nature in angels, born as instruments of god. and of course the recontextualization of adam & eve's original sin as the most beautiful act of creation? every sentence of the series makes you understand why christian institutions want it burned but it feels almost necessary for a child who loves fantasy to read to understand that there is a life far beyond their age, and that's wonderful. im floored by how much i enjoyed it.
