a support group for people with “unconventional” daemons. jeff with his flounder he has to carry everywhere in a huge tank. lois with her poison dart frog everyone is afraid to touch. sam with their elephant that’s the reason they can never go higher than two stories in most buildings.

"Hey Merlin! Look what we found over on Eternity Isle!"

Sadly the Ketak is only decorative, but hey, that's what head canons are for. (heavily referenced the in game model, no way I was gonna try and freehand it lol)

It’s a very good metaphor. It’s a very good way of exploring and showing a person’s character; the things they are willing to admit to and the things they don’t want to admit even to themselves. 

Philip Pullman, on the concept of dæmons

how do yall's daemons choose/find their forms? im genuinly curious, because Apophis's form has always been a white snake. Like, the second i read HDM for the first time i thought, "oh, my daemon would be a white snake." when i started practicing daemonism, she was just,, a snake. She sometimes plays with other forms, like she often takes a luna moth form when i'm biking, but she's always been a white snake. (specifically hognose usually, but sometimes a ball python)

how did yalls forms come to be?

Day 30 - ATLA Ty Lee Fanart

Wrapping up the ATLA dæmons with a Fire Ferret for Ty Lee! I mostly chose this because of Pabu's acrobats in LOK tbh

Bit late getting this one posted but still counts imo. Just one day left to go in my 30 day posting challenge!

At this point I don't care if Stannah is 'real' or not. I don't care if I'm calling him my Daemon but he's actually something else. His presence is a comfort to me and he's real for that.

Little drawings to go with a fic I wrote for this dæmon AU: Your Everything Combined | T | 1k words | canon compliant

i'm curious, would anyone be interested in one of those culture-is blogs for daemonism?? and does anybody have any tips for creating & running one?

[edit: we did end up making one @daemonism-culture-is! tips still appreciated if you have any!]

FELLOW DAEMIANS

Ok so Akereo’s been settled for like a year now but we have a problem. It’s like we disconnected the second he settled, we communicate WAY better when he’s in other forms, mostly ones that mean a lot to us like the marten or mule deer. We hardly talk anymore and I hate it because we used to be so close. For the most part we’re a very traditional dæmon/daemian pair so it would feel wrong to us to NOT have him primarily using his settled form, but if we communicate better while he’s in others we might just have to. Idk, has this ever happened for anyone else and are there any solutions? Should I keep looking at forms in case there’s one that fits but also doesn’t affect communication in this way? We’re kinda lost, last year we were the closest we’ve ever been and now our only conversations are passing comments or him hyping me up for things.

Daemians and daemons may I suggest,

Daemians and daemons

"Daemians are people who have daemons, which are most often described as mental constructs or a part of an individual’s consciousness which has been assigned a unique gender, form, and personality. Some daemians consider themselves plural. Their community started in 2002, inspired by Philip Pullman’s His Dark Materials fantasy novel trilogy."

This took me a bit to get to sorry!!

I'm still new to the daemonism community, if my information is not correct I am deeply sorry

But anyways

In the tulpamancy community, visual imposition is a high-level skill where a member of the system (usually the tulpamancer) has a controlled hallucination of another member of the system (usually the tulpa). The process is kind of hard to explain but from what l understand, it's the conversion of high-level data (imagination) into data that the brain can interpret as coming from the cones in your eyes, producing a hallucination that with practice can become more and more convincing.

A big part in hallucinations is the belief that the hallucinations are real, which helps solidify in the mind that what is being perceived is actually there, and generally it's encouraged to start actually believing that your tulpa(mancer) is there with you.

In daemonism, projection is the act of imagining a daemon in your surroundings, simply. By how some describe it, it sounds a bit like a very simple hallucination, but it doesn't have to be.

A lot of projection I've heard is done with just imagination, with the daemian doing something and imagining their daemon is near them, floating somewhere, in their hair Ratatouille-style or anywhere - with the daemon taking any form of any proportion and dimension. There's no need for the them to feel externally real as from what I've heard they're mostly experienced as internal voices only so to the daemonism community the only requirement is that they are indeed imagined.

In the tulpamancy community I've seen debates of people arguing if an imposed tulpa should be able to phase through walls or fly, but with projection and the attitude that comes with it realism is not a priority and it just feels way more relaxed

And we're personally doing a mix of both! Feel free to ask more questions I love questions

It's a baby Kiara!

I love how when I was researching dæmonism I was deciding between two forms- a Russian blue and a cheetah- and then Marion comes along being neither of those, entering with his own name and personality lol.

anyone know any good discord servers for alterhumans, daemons and daemians, and/or median/endo systems?? We just got discord for the first time and are trying to figure out how to use it
