Northern Navigators

To say that Lyra was excited for the Gyptian’s arrival in Trollesund would be the understatement of the century. They were getting closer and closer to the north with each passing day! And also getting closer to finding Rodger! Lyra was overjoyed! The town beyond Maggie’s boat held any number of surprises and she and Pan were bursting to find it out.

                                                                ~

“You’ve already looked at it from that direction.” the daemon said, attempting to move the paper in his human’s hands a different direction.

“Alright! Hey!” the woman said, moving the large piece out of the way.

The two of them made a strange pair, sort of. The woman had a large backpack strapped to her back, seemingly loaded down with all manners of previsions. She might as well have worn a sign that said, ‘I am not from here.’ That, and the fact that her daemon was probably one of the largest most of the people in Trollesund were used to seeing. A reindeer, regardless of proximity to the north, was going to stand out. Neither of them really seemed to mind though, focused more on the map in the woman’s hands. 

“I’m not deliberately taking a long time, you know that right?” the woman asked, “I’m trying to get my bearings here.”

“And you’ve been doing that for about ten minutes.”

“It would be a lot easier if the map was labeled.”

“Sure” the reindeer chuckled.

“Hush you” the woman chuckled back. Then she went back to cross referencing.

It was then, that a little girl walked near them. “What are you doing?” she asked.

The woman with curly brown hair pulled the map down away from her face. She had a brown coat wrapped around her waist, no doubt to be worn when it got colder (not that it was really warm at all now). She had sensible brown trousers and sturdy looking boots along with an evergreen button shirt with the sleeves rolled up past her elbows and a pair of brown suspenders. She looked every inch an adventurer. 

“Well,” the woman said, answer the short haired blonde girl, “I’m supposed to be reading this map.”

The reindeer beside her made a snorting sound, she looked over and smirked at him momentarily.

“But,” she said back to the girl, “It doesn’t have any words on it.”

“That’s silly” the girl responded.

“A little, but it just takes a bit of time. You just have to know what you’re looking for.”

The reindeer daemon nudged her shoulder with his snout, carefully avoiding her with his antlers. Fine, the gesture said, I’ll concede, you win. 

“If you don’t mind me asking, darling. What are you doing all the way out here by yourself?” the woman asked.

“I’m not alone,” she said, pointing to two men talking quietly to themselves beyond her, “I’m traveling with some Gyptians. We’re searching for their missing children.”

“Well,” the woman said, frowning, “I sure hope you find them... what’s your name?”

“Lyra, and this is Pan.” Lyra gestured down to wear a small white ermine wiggling his nose at her. 

“Pleasure to meet you Lyra. Pan.”

“What’s your name?” Lyra asked.

“Libby. Libby Lancaster. And this is Elliot.”

The reindeer smiled as best as he could, bowing his head to Lyra and Pan. 

“He’s the biggest daemon I’ve ever seen. I didn’t know they settled as animals that big” Lyra said.

“He always liked animals about this size growing up,” Libby mused, “I suppose that says something about me, doesn’t it?”

Libby folded up the map and crouched a little, getting eye level with Lyra. “You know,” she whispered, “My mum always told me that it was because I have a bigger personality. I’ve come to believe that’s true. If Pan settles like Elliot here did, Lyra, people are going to have some things to say about you. I’m telling you, don’t listen to word any of them say. You should never feel ashamed for you who you are. If they want you to be less, that’s their problem.”

The two ladies shared a smile before Lyra’s name was called. The men she was with motioned for her to join them and Lyra nodded, quickly turning to Libby.

“Good luck with your map, maybe we’ll see you on our journey!” she said.

“Maybe! Good luck finding your friends, hopefully we do see you around. You could introduce us.”

With that, Lyra ran off to join her adults, leaving Libby and Elliot smiling after her. Libby leaned back, resting herself on Elliot as she looked up at his face.

“What a nice little girl” she said.

“I hope we do see her again, she seems like fun” Elliot agreed. Libby smiled with a laugh, before unfolding the map again.

“Now where were we?”

Little did the two navigators know, they would be seeing Lyra again very soon.

‘What about a lion?’ Daniel asked, his eyes on Pippa as she tried to accommodate for his new ideas of daemon shapes.

‘Wind’ll change and you’ll get stuck like that,’ Lee said, tapping Jenny between the eyebrows.

‘Still be prettier than you,’ she countered, swatting his hand away. She heard Hester chuckling and felt a little of the tension in her chest loosening. ‘You don’t think this was a mistake?’

‘Jen,’ complained Niall, nudging her leg with his muzzle. Her fox daemon had been trying to convince her this was right all morning to no avail; they both knew, however, that if anyone could ease her concerns it’d be Lee - no matter how mildly irritating Niall found that.

‘It was either bring him with, leave him or – and this is my personal favourite – you both let me do this alone,’ Lee said.

Jenny nudged her best friend’s ribs with her elbow, but her gaze drifted back to her little brother. Pippa was now swooping through the air, turning over and over as a majestic eagle, earning joyful giggles from the boy.

‘Honestly, Jen?’ Lee asked, and the deadly serious tone of his voice pulled her attention unerringly towards him. ‘This was the best for all of us.’

Jenny gently tapped just above her heart with two fingers of her right hand. It was a strange little gesture, but one that passed easily between her and Lee.

‘Bud, you coming?’ she called, earning Daniel’s attention in an instant.

‘Yeah!’ he called as Pip landed gracefully on his shoulder and shifted to a snake.

A little of the tension around Jenny’s heart loosened as Daniel jogged towards them. She just wished that there had been another option for them.

The Hobbit/His Dark Material Crossover

I rewatched His Dark Materials and thought, why not do a little crossover ??

So here’s some of Thorin’s company + my oc with their daemons!

A woman like me has a sword for a tongue, night in the heart, and room in the body for only the mysterious--the impossible, unfathomable things.

From the depths of the studio - where darkness prevails and the voices of the puddles grow louder - a message is echoed to the rest of the world. A promise filled with hatred and,at the same time,with conviction. Words coming from someone who was more than confident that their blasphemy would come true.

A message that is directed to one creature,and one creature only...

"I will become the very being You never could be"

----- "A Promise Sent from Below" - Return to the Studio AU.

Oh hey, I have an AU, I forgot about that (lie)

I've had a similar idea in my head for a month now. It wasn't possible to do it last month, but no problem. May would make more sense. I did something with this little guy for 414 last year, and I wanted to do something with him again. April 14th of this year would not be possible, but May 14th or 15th? Oh yes. These dates are better because it was between these two (actually it was the 14th I think, but I consider both dates) days that I created this guy above! Consider this drawing a celebration made for…well, me. Of course, he wasn't created with the design above in mind. His original, main design is quite different from this alternative (and less original) iteration. The drawing above shows his current situation in the "current" moments of the RTTS AU.

His creation, which dates back to 2020, was the result of some Bendy-related thoughts of mine intersecting on the day. These being about new things in canon lore that came out at the time (plus speculation about this new information), a theory that at the time I started to understand better (which maybe based on the drawing, you probably know which theory I'm talking about ) and a funny bug found in one of the games (do you remember Ghost Bendy by any chance?) And then,boom. I created Atlas. I remember at the time I was thinking of other names for him because Atlas was just a codename that I had in mind to refer to him while I thought of a definitive name for the guy. But the codename ended up sticking. Plus, Atlas is a cool name and I wanted to give an OC that name.

Even though some details changed over time, I think I eventually managed to solidify his place in the AU. Not that his story is 100% thought out and completed. Hell, my AUs that I have are still not 100% thought out either, so what to expect from their characters. But I think that, currently, I have at least decided on the general idea of his place and purpose in RTTS, and I am happy with what I have come up with.

I don't know when the next time will be that I will show him again. In general, showing things from my AUs is not and probably will never be my strong point lol. But I'd like to draw him again eventually. So uhhhhhhhhhhh, one day. When that "one day" will be, it's up to you to decide

Happy Birthday Atlas. You and your other 2 alternative versions are cool to think about. Here's to another 4 years of chaos for you. 🙌

I can't believe it's been 4 years now, damn.

still big wips but i have nothing new of note to show so, rough sketches of Lyra and local dad bear

okay okay i need to learn about arsenic lore what is that

Funny you'd ask, Toaster, I was wondering whether to make a post or a side blog or just start posting about him in more detail. Anyway, here's some elements of his story as I'm currently picturing it :

Arsenic's story is a deeply unhinged one, and is heavily linked to his (unhealthy) relationship with his Sunny, who doesn't really have a name besides Sunny.

Nick is a dark character. He's not a nice guy, he doesn't try to be, in fact the basis of his character is that he's an obsessive, controlling, manipulative asshole.

He is 18 when he meets Sunny through mutual friends. Friends is a big word, actually -- let's say he's 18 when Sunny hangs out with his friends, who happen to know Nick, and awkwardly introduce Sunny to him.

Now, Sunny's a nice guy, if a bit shy. This Basil guy is weird and kinda creepy, sure, but Sunny's been called weird and creepy for being autistic several times, so he decides that maybe Nick just needs a friend ! Sunny's totally not attracted to people who intimidate or scare him, no sir-ee, he's just a nice dude who happens to have attachement issues and oh would you look at that, Nick has successfully manipulated Sunny into being emotionally dependent on him. And Sunny is fully aware of it. But he's still undeniably emotionally dependent on Nick. Oops.

And so the story of their unhealthy codependent toxic sludge of a relationship begins.

(As for what happens to their eyes-- I want to make it a comic. But they both have two perfectly healthy eyes when they meet.)

New ask game!

What would your OC's daemon be?

(For those unfamiliar with His Dark Materials, the book series by Philip Pullman, a daemon is a living projection of a person's soul, in the shape of an animal. The daemon and their human are bound, in life and death, and apart for very few exceptions cannot be physically away from one another further than a few meters or so)

To most people, Teresa Foster was an irritant. Even her best friend Will sometimes wished she could quiet her mind for just a moment. But Terry couldn’t. She loved to invent, to constantly experiment. Sometimes, she craved failure because she could learn from it. Failure sprouted new ideas, success let them fester.

‘Do you think,’ Terry asked, arms spread wide as she walked heel-to-toe along a crack in the pavement, ‘mermaids would like space?’ She glanced over at Will, but there was a faraway look in his eyes. His thoughts were somewhere else entirely. Probably, as usual, with his mother. At least, that was what she guessed from the little furrow between his brows; the way his mouth seemed ever so slightly downturned. ‘Will?’

‘Sorry?’ He blinked before looking at Terry, the furrow didn’t ease up even a little. ‘What?’

Terry heaved a deep sigh. ‘Nothing,’ she murmured, carefully lowering her arms and stepping off her makeshift tightrope. ‘We doing homework club at yours?’

Will was shaking his head before she’d even finished her question.

‘All right,’ she said brightly, refusing to let it get her down. Will worked too hard, she wasn’t sure he even realised it. But she also knew he needed to do this. That there was no way he’d relax until he was at home, looking after his mother without the eyes of someone else on them. Even his best friend. ‘Call if you need me, yeah?’

‘Obviously,’ he vowed, shooting her a grateful smile before hurrying home.

‘Liar,’ she murmured, watching her best friend. Her mind was already whirring, trying to desperately come up with the perfect invention to help him; something that would help ease his mother’s anxieties and give him a moment to breathe.

Anyone who writes Lee Scoresby fanfiction is fully respected by me and I need that person to live. Thank you all. Hope there will be more of you, because I'm starving and re-reading old ones

Open discussion:

If Warhammer 40k had daemons in the His Dark Materials/The Golden Compass sense, i.e. representations of a person's soul in animal form, what would corruption by Chaos look like?

As it's implied that heretics that haven't fully apotheosed to full daemonhood are still in possession of their soul, just that it's owned by their respective patron god, I'm of the opinion that the soul animal daemons mutate the further their person falls to Chaos. They probably have the mark of their god or of Chaos Undivided grow more prominent on their bodies in some way, and apotheosis involves the merging of the person and the soul animal daemon into one singular entity.

There's also the idea that the god would just eat the person's daemon outright, but I don't think that's what happens as in HDM/TGC this kills the man or leaves them as a husk of a person. Maybe that's what Slaanesh did to the Eldar though.

Additional question: What would established characters'/your OCs daemons be?

Cain's would be a hare named Jezebel, who travels in his sash, on his shoulder, or buttoned up in his coat.

Jurgen's daemon would be a very large, very sad looking mutt dog who is far more canny and dangerous than their mangy appearance implies.

Amberley Vail would have a cat or a fox, I'm not sure which.

Hello, I’m Maddie (21 y/o, she/her)

I’m looking for someone (19+) who would be interested in writing and or role playing with me. I’m mainly looking for someone interested in the lotr universe. But I’m also open for star wars, his dark materials, hunger games and cod.

I’m interested in pretty much any pairings, and for both ccxcc, ccxoc and ocxoc. I have been writing fanfics for many years, but I don’t have much experience role playing, but would love to learn💕

I’m open for both romantic and platonic relationships and for found family tropes. I’m also open for nsfw, but not a must at all.

if you’re interested please send me a message, or interact with this post and i’ll reach out ☺️
