Hello! I’m Tess and my daemons are Theron and K. Here’s a bit about us! This is supposed to be one question a day but it’s just a good get-to-know-you in general
30 ‘get to know us’ questions and answers below the cut
Day 1: What is your current form and why?
Theron: I’ve been settled as a ferret for a while now. It’s our aspirational form. Tess aspires to be more happy, extroverted, and energetic!
K: Great Blue Heron
Day 2: What have you learned about yourself since discovering your daemon/form/etc?
Theron: We didn’t know why my form was a ferret until we did research on it so really, the whole reason why I’m a ferret was learned! Also, I have opinions that Tess does not have initially, but we realize some of these thoughts of mine are subconscious thoughts of Tess’s that we didn’t know about until we sat and talked.
Tess: K was a surprise and it took a little bit to realize he was here to help me with my self image/confidence. I’m very confident now because of him! It wasn’t until I looked up the symbolisms for great blue herons that I realized he was here for those reasons.
Day 3: Why did you pursue daemonism in the first place? How have you benefited from getting in contact with your daemon?
Tess: My oldest sibling told me about daemons when I was…13? I admire my sibling and want(ed) to be like them. I perused at first simply because it was nice to have someone else here with me all the time, and that’s still true, but he’s just great company! Theron really helps me through tough times, helps me realize why I’m feeling what I am, and coaches me through life.
K came at a time of big change in several facets of my life, and he helped me through all those changes
Day 4: How has your personality evolved since you met your daemon and began form-finding?
Tess: I’m more open with my communication, more in tune with my feelings, and generally happier <3
K has helped me build my confidence and persevere through life changes
Day 5: Write about the day when you first met your daemon, as best you can remember it.
Tess: Alright! So my sibling (Em) and I shared a room as kids. We had bunk beds, and I remember us sitting on the floor facing our beds right before either dinner or bedtime. Em asked me if I ever imagine an animal running alongside the car while riding somewhere and I said of course! Em explains to me about Daemons as best as they could, and told me to look around the room and see if I can see my dæmon. I couldn’t see shit 😂 but I didn’t want to disappoint them, so I said I saw a toucan perched on the corner of the top bunk. (I’m not sure why he was a toucan, we should look into that more.) Em was exited for me and I figured, hey, why not have an imaginary animal companion? So he stuck around. I ended up telling my friends about daemons and as kids do, we played pretend our dae’s interacting. It wasn’t until I was older, around 16 maybe, that I realized he was there to stay and wasn’t really an imaginary friend. And it wasn’t until the last few years that we’ve made a real connection and are getting to know eachother more deeply.
K’s is a strange story. I was on a motorcycle ride with my brother and my then partner, and Theron was flying next to me as a bird. Some weird un-morphing thing happened, and K emerged from Theron. It was scary and we didn’t know what was going on, but K came out with a bang and was immediately Present and unapologetically There
Day 6: Is there a form that you used to think fit your personality but you've changed to the point where it no longer fits?
Theron: I’ve never settled on a form before I settled as a ferret so, no
K has always been a great blue heron
Day 7: Daemons: What's your favorite form and why?
Theron: Being a Night Fury is cool! When Tess is driving I love to skydive
K is a GBH 99% of the time. He feels beautiful and graceful in that form
Day 8: Do you have forms you can only take on certain occasions?
There aren’t any reoccurring occasions in our life that require a specific form so, no again
Day 9: Daemons: What did you do before your human discovered you and made proper contact?
Theron: Floated around in their subconscious and nudged them towards the right direction/their homework answers occasionally
K: I was Theron until life changes demanded I separate from him
Day 10: Do you ever wish to switch daemons with someone on the forum?
Tess: No way! That just sounds awkward. We wouldn’t know eachother like Theron and I do.
Day 11: Would you tell future partners/future children about daemonism?
Tess: I have contemplated telling a partner but there really isn’t any current benefit that I can see to doing so, but there’s potential detriment. Ultimately it depends on our feelings about the person and the sort of relationship we have.
Day 12: Daemons: What do you associate with your human?
Theron: personal growth, forest creature, a cool breeze on a temperate day, great music
K: Opal, luminance, shiny and colorful things in general
Day 13: What is your daemon's color?
Tess: Not sure if this means physical color but the color I associate with him is Yellow, and K is a forest brown!
Day 14: What do you always associate with your daemon?
Tess: for Theron: Sun rays, a good tree to climb, joy, spontaneity, soft grass to lay in.
For K: water/lakes, trees, calmness.
Day 15: Daemons: What do you wish your human would listen to you about?
Theron: I wish Tess would listen better when I tell them they need to have as much patience with themself as they have for others. General self care stuff
Day 16: Describe your daemon in 5 words.
Theron: Bouncy, patient, (Theron: always right), warm, sassy, soft
K: confident, quiet, beautiful, firm, caring
Day 17: Daemons: Have you ever given bad advice?
Theron: Never. 😤
Tess: Tbh our memory isn’t good enough to think of an instance but I’m sure there is at least one
K: no
Day 18: Do you and your daemon have a "theme song"? What about it makes you think of them?
We don’t but we should!
Day 19: Daemons: Pick a song for your human. Explain your choice.
Theron: Run Boy Run by Woodkid. Running away to disappear in the trees is very Tess, and it seems like a good genderqueer anthem
Day 20: What do you love about your daemon?
Tess: I love his endless patience ❤️ No matter what, he is calm and patient and kind.
For K, I deeply appreciate what he did for me when I needed him. He helped me change and he still sticks around in case I need him again.
Day 21: Daemons: What's one thing you like and dislike about your human?
Theron: Only one like? Ok, I like Tess’ connection with the Earth, it’s admirable and their love and respect for the world shows
Dislike: I’m not too fond of how quick they are to trust new people. It’s not a bad thing, but I fear it’ll end them up in trouble one of these days if their not careful about it
Day 22: What's your fondest memory together? Explain.
Tess: There’s no one specific memory but Theron pulls me through some shit and he does it so gracefully
Day 23: Daemons: Describe your human in 5 words.
Theron: Great vibes (idc that’s 2), cozy, smart, funny, talented
K: Beautiful, confident, capable, smart, well-rounded
Day 24: What's one thing you like and dislike about your daemon?
Tess: I love his joyful mood! His default is ‘happy’ and it’s great!
I dislike that he’s slower to trust new people 😅
For K, I dislike how he showed up initially. It was scary
Day 25: Daemons: If you were a human, what would your fitting form be? Explain.
Theron: I’d be 5’10”, dark brown slightly curly hair, I’d be so fashionable but like, in a chill ‘I’m not even trying’ way, I’d probably skateboard because it looks really fun, and I’d paint my nails all sorts of fun patterns!
K: Tall, good fashion sense, deep voice, long hair
Day 26: What season do you associate your daemon with?
T- Summer 🔆
K- Spring
Day 27: Daemons: What tv/book/imaginary/fictional character could you compare your human to?
Theron: Aziraphale from Good Omens. Always seeing the good in others and wanting to do what’s right, caring for all the living creatures
Day 28: If you could only talk to your daemon one last time, what would you say to each other?
Tess: Oh that’s depressing… no, i don’t like thinking about that.
Theron: I’d give Tess my best advice and remind them to keep going. Think of me often
K: Keep being great
Day 29: Daemons: You get to decide what to do this day.
Theron: We’re gonna go out early in the morning and try and get some pictures of the local crows!
Tess: But not too early…
Day 30: Last day! Have fun: pick something random and daemon-y to do.
Theron: Set out around town with Tess’ camera and I’ll take the form of whatever they take a picture of!
