"In Lyra's heart, revulsion struggled with compassion, and compassion won."
HIS DARK MATERIALS • The Golden Compass/Northern Lights — 1.05 | The Lost Boy — 2.01 | The City Of Magpies
So His Dark Materials had a bad movie and 10 years later it got a good show. Percy Jackson had a bad movie and 10 years later it got a good show. What both of those examples also have in common? Lin Manuel Miranda! LMM is the answer to everything. If we want Eragon adaptation to be good we need Lin to play Brom
His Dark Materials character with an it/its agender daemon and the human eventually coming out as genderfluid. All the gender went to the one side
If we’re going by the “your daemon is your complement” and “sexuality influences the gender of your daemon” concepts I think the queer scene in HDM would be wild. Daemons who come out as transgender with their person, daemons who don’t but feel the same joy, polycules where your daemons are active participants with their own relationships almost independent to you, a ridiculous amount of daemons settling at Pride events, the alethiometer college class being filled by strong-willed, confident people who know themselves so much and have the grace to openly view a mysterious yet playful truth… queer daemons!!!
Little grocery shops and bakeries stood between jewelers and bead-curtained doors opening into private houses, where wrought-iron balconies thick with flowers overhung the narrow pavement, and where the silence, being enclosed, was even more profound. The streets were leading downward, and before very long they opened out onto a broad avenue where more palm trees reached high into the air, the underside of their leaves glowing in the streetlights. On the other side of the avenue was the sea.

reasons to watch hdm
protagonists are a young girl and a black teenage boy
several prominent male characters cry on screen
both protagonists are guided by their own goodness, and it is for this reason that they are the focus of the narrative
seeing the perspective of a child's view of the world vs the adults that disregard their voices
women in science
discussion of the morality of science co-existing with religion
female antagonists
teenage characters are played by teenagers of the same age
kids defeat evil through methods only children would use (snowball fights, screaming, hiding, running)
several black characters have a large role in the story, many in positions of authority and with independent character arcs
family is chosen but biological family can be just as powerful
very good casting/acting of family members down to certain mannerisms being mirrored by parents and children
solid good vs evil narrative but also everyone is morally ambiguous
it's a denouncement of organised religion while highlighting the value of faith
freedom of thought! truth! building paradise where you already are!
the title sequence goes incredibly hard
a love letter to the power of kindness and stories
Bear
GOD the daemons as a physical manifestation of the soul is SUCH a juicy narrative tool i'm so obsessed with how much symbolism you can fit into these lil guys
I love the simplicity in Mrs Coulter's design. In a world where everyone's soul is able to think and speak on its own, in a shape with clear connotations about your own personality and mindset, here is a woman whose very essence is unnamed, completely unwilling to communicate, in a shape with unclear associations (in western and northern Europe at least) that has the most similarity with an engineer but with an unfamiliar beauty that is both off-putting and entrancing. I just think it's neat story telling.
"watch His Dark Materials with me" my wife said. "it's a cool fantasy show with talking animals" she said. "it will be fun" she said.
we've finished season 1. everybody shut up do not talk to me ever again
the amber spyglass land of the dead sequence really captures what it’s like to leave your pet when you have to go to work

The duality of His Dark Materials is that at times it's an excellent story with intentionally restrained writing and thoughtful command of analogy, and the price for that is that a panicked Philip Pullman then beats you to death with a steel chair.
chaos family + the amber spyglass/ series parallels
1.01 “Lyra’s Jordan” // Chapter 25 “Saint-Jean-les-Eaux”, The Amber Spyglass // 1.01 “Lyra’s Jordan” // Chapter 28 “Midnight”, The Amber Spyglass // 1.08 “Betrayal” // Chapter 35 “Over the Hills and Far Away”, The Amber Spyglass // 3.03 “The Intention Craft” // Chapter 28 “Midnight”, The Amber Spyglass // 3.08 “The Botanic Garden”
you know while he did a lot of horrible stuff i do think it was pretty sexy in his dark materials when lord asriel found out there were multiple worlds and his first thought was "im gonna kill god"
some of you were never emotionally devastasted by the end of the amber spyglass at 14 years old and it shows

Lord Asriel and Stelmaria
Mrs. Coulter and the golden monkey
Art by Clement Poumirau
HDM alphabet series → A is for Alethiometer
The alethiometer, nicknamed the symbol-reader, was a clock-like device that was used to communicate with Dust and find truthful answers to one's questions. Only six alethiometers were ever made. The alethiometer had thirty-six symbols, each of which had countless meanings.
