the equivalent exchange of your favorite childhood book series (his dark materials and percy jackson) getting the adaptations they finally deserve but the price is that one character must be played by lin-manuel miranda

His Dark Materials has such a beautiful depiction of love, because in the end love is what saves every world, but the rest of the series is almost a lesson in all the things love can’t save. Lord Asriel and Mrs. Coulter loved Lyra, but it doesn’t stop them from abandoning her and using her as a pawn in their respective schemes. They loved each other but it doesn’t stop them from manipulating and hurting each other, and it doesn’t save them in the end. Lyra loved Roger but it doesn’t stop her from getting him killed, and it doesn’t bring him back. Will and Lyra loved each other, but it doesn’t stop their separation. John Parry loved Will and his mother, but he still left them. Lyra loved Pan, but she still left him behind in the world of the dead. There’s no absence of love, but it’s not the cure all other books often make it out to be. The love is there, but it doesn’t change anything. And yet in the end it’s Will and Lyra’s love for each other that saves every world. It’s Lord Asriel and Mrs. Coulter’s love for Lyra (and each other) that lets them defeat Metatron. In a series where love has consistently failed to save the character, two of the most important and seemingly impossible feats are accomplished solely through love. And yes that means that the story inherently contradicts itself, but that’s what I love so much about it. Love is by nature contradictory. The point of the story isn’t to show that love is all powerful or that love achieves nothing. The point is that love doesn’t usually doesn’t solve anything, but that we should continue to love, and that every now and then, love truly will save it all.

never not thinking about iorek byrnison eating lee scoresby's dead body, so as not to let it rot but instead allow it to sustain an old friend on his journey. and how this act fulfilled lee's dying wish to help lyra by giving iorek the strength to go on and find her. thinking about consumption as a form of love, loving someone in their entirety and wanting to eat them whole but also love and grief being something you carry inside of you that guides you forward

it's always better to have loved.
philip pullman, the amber spyglass / guillermo del toro's pinocchio (2022) / fleabag (2016-2019) / andrew garfield / art by @catadromously / anne carson, euripides / markus zusak, the book thief / shannon barry / little women (2019) / the good place (2016-2020) / fyodor dostoevsky, crime and punishment / his dark materials (2019-2022) / @starpeace
#it's about grief and it's about the love making it worthwhile. grief is a painful and wonderful and necessary thing to carry!!!#also putting the dostoevsky quote next to lyra and will was 100% deliberate. ur welcome#i can think of so many more references to add but i'll leave it there <3#web weaving#storytelling#his dark materials#hdm#lyra x will#the amber spyglass#philip pullman#guillermo del toro's pinocchio#guillermo del toro#fleabag#the book thief#markus zusak#little women#the good place#my edits

My little book club is reading His Dark Materials and daemons came up while my betrothed and I were cuddling in bed.
They said to me, “Do you think anyone’s daemon is a mosquito?”
“What? No way, that’s way too small!”
“No,” they countered, “We see beetles and butterflies, Pan turned into a little lightning bug, and a moth.”
I digested this information in silence, and then my betrothed started shaking with laughter and pitched in two different voices. “‘Where’s your daemon?’ ‘Oh, it’s a tick.’”
I let out such a guttural sound of amusement and horror that I scared the cats. I couldn’t stop laughing and repeating, “It’S a TiCk!!!”
I escalated in hilarity to choking out, “The only blood it can eat is it’s own persons! They JusT gO aRouNd with a TiCk on their face!”
“I don’t think daemons need to eat, do they?” They asked.
“IT’S A tIcK!!” I responded, tears rolling down my face, hyperventilating at the best and worst concept I’d ever imagined.

we are only a breath away in this bright summer air •°. *࿐
not only is it the amber spyglass' 25th (!!) anniversary this year, it's also been a whole ten (10!!!) years since I shared my first midsummer day art here on tumblr. to honour the occasion, I decided to redraw that very first artwork — I was rather proud of it at the time, and it started a now decade-long tradition of making hdm art every june.
it's mostly a sentimental record for myself, but some of you have also been following me for quite a few of those years, which I deeply appreciate.
here's to the power of stories, and for many more sunlit midsummers to come 💛
#lyra silvertongue#will parry#pantalaimon#kirjava#his dark materials#hdm fanart#doodles and miscellania#there's a close up and a little spiel under the readmore :')#i both can and can't believe i've been posting hdm art on here for ten (10!!!!) years now#i kind of keep giving myself a psychic attack with that fact but#it's also pretty special#i've got a consistent record of my art over a decade...and i've been able to chat and interact with some lovely folks thanks to it....#(<- clearly feeling sentimental this year haha)#anyway! the weather has been freezing lately but today somehow turned out sunny and warm...thank u bench day magic#i hope everyone gets to enjoy some sunlight too#happy midsummer day <3

hating a character for being a bad person has got to be one of the most boring ways to interact with any story
#oh you hate her? okay like fair#but what else?#they have been written to exist in a narrative. any thoughts on that?#alicent hightower#shauna shipman#marisa coulter#yellowjackets#hotd#hdm#all my gals

what's really special about his dark materials is that there are so many heroes in the story who are trying to fulfil a prodigious goal, or are motivated by a higher power, but the most important change is brought about by a little girl with a wicked ability to lie, a boy who hates fighting and a random physicist who climbs trees and whose main power lies in her use of words
