And I’ll break their ass down

Daemon

🌈

Thank you for asking ♡♡

How I feel about this character.

I like him, honestly. He's sort of the reason I started watching HotD, because I love Matt Smith.

I found him really entertaining in season one, and then less so in season two. His Harrenhal arc was pretty boring, I didn't enjoy it.

All the people I ship romantically with this character.

I've liked the dynamic he has with Rhaenyra since the beginning. It's not healthy by any means and in some ways they should not be together but that's what I find interesting.

I admit I liked the chemistry Matt Smith had with Milly Alcock more than the one he has with Emma D'Arcy but I'm happy with both versions.

My non-romantic OTP for this character.

The dynamic he has with Alys turned out pretty great, but I think my favorite duo might be Daemon and Rhaenys. Mostly her roasting him, if we're honest.

My unpopular opinion about this character.

He loves Rhaenyra for what she represents, not for who she truly is as a person.

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon.

I would have wanted to see more of his relationship with Laena and with his children.

SO FUNNY STORY: when I first posted that invitation, I was actually thinking about your OCs specifically, lmao. I think possibly an English pointer for Ed? He’s got that hallmark steadfastness and loyalty of a dog daemon, as well as a history as a soldier that I think works with a hunting breed, but pointers are generally considered to be excellent family dogs ESPECIALLY with kids, and a very regal sort of breed besides. Plus, they have a lot of energy to devote to the things they enjoy, which feel like it hits a little on the hints of earnestness I see in what you’ve told me about him, haha!

Margaret gave me a little trouble, I’m not going to lie. There’s so much grace and poise to her that I wanted to give her something to show that, but my first impression whenever I think of Margaret is of her tenacity, and her ability to rebuild after something utterly shakes her world. She cares deeply for family, doesn’t ever seem to stop working on herself, and all of those sort of culminated in me being able to see her with a beaver daemon. They’re tenacious and rebuild quickly after disaster, and they spend a vast majority of their time among a family unit that trusts and takes care of one another, which feels….extremely apt for Margaret. Plus, I always got a very wise parent vibe from large ground rodent daemons, which….likely exacerbated this thought LMAO.

Addie is still very young, which means in canon lore her daemon wouldn’t have settled yet because her personality is still in flux! So my notions of Addie are….also rather in flux, lol. I don’t know what she’d settle with, but I DO think there would be some common forms. My gut says a hummingbird, a pointer puppy or snowshoe hare, and possibly a squirrel or chipmunk?? But those are just offhand notions, I wouldn’t put much stock into those lmao.

I will def still be doing these! ^^

1. Names and how they were found.

Pan’s name just sort of popped up, we’re not quite sure what inspired it at first. We came up with the full name “Panache” after doing some searching for a name that could be shortened to just Pan. Panache is a word that means “something done in a flamboyant manner”!

Baszil was a little trickier...we put a lot of thought into finding the perfect name. We wanted a name that stemmed from “Basil”, as it’s a name I’m fond of, but Baszil also wanted a bit more flair. After several attempts of mishmashing names together, we ended up with Baszilieatrix, a combo of Basil and Beatrix!

8. Describe their basic personalities.

Baszil has a pretty even temperament, and is the most rational out of the three of us. She’s very good at analyzing the situation and offering advice, and is an assertive decision maker. She is polite and proper, well-mannered, and a calming, friendly presence.

Zayne is an idiot so they lost the submission/ask of these so we're just posting it like this

Sorry anon

Sayan Kötör: What would your dæmon be like if they existed in corporeal form? Do you wish corporeal dæmons existed?

Oh hell yes I wish dæmons were corporeal, or at least mine. Key, if corporeal, had said to me before that he would love cuddling with me in corporeal form, each of us being able to actually touch each other and see each other and all-those-other-senses. I'd say it's one of both of our greatest wishes. Key likes small but fluffy forms most (ermines especially) so those would be his go-to. He knows I like maned wolves though and would probably take the form of one of those a lot too. Minus their stink hopefully. Oh i would so have their stink

Kyrillion: How do you think your dæmon would interact with the dæmons of others? What about with other humans?

Well I've already let him talk to other people and dæmons before through Discord. I haven't as much recently and I'm pretty sure back when he did talk to others he wasn't as fully separated (still far from it but at least we're a bit more separated than we were in the past) so a lot of it was more of a guess or forced reaction, idk. I may formulate a better response after letting him talk to other dæmons and people in the future.

Hester: How would adventures with your dæmon be like?

Fun. Amazing. More fun. Duh.

I got a comment on the ask post that I assume was for me and Berwaldter, so: how would Bear interact with other daemons?

This is really interesting to think about actually, and a concept I imagine a lot. I feel like Bear would be willing to express the physical emotion that I don't, so I believe he'd be very touchy and playful with the daemons of people I like.

As for the daemons of people I don't like, he's been flicking between tiger and lion (both of which are very large forms) so he wouldn't hesitate to use that as a major intimidation factor. I imagine it would be easy for him to become violent towards antagonistic daemons as well.

He also tends to reflect my own emotions, so on bad days I think he would be extremely reserved, stating close to my side and even being aggressive or snappy towards other daemons.

I'd like to become more active on this blog myself, so I figured I might as well help answer any asks. I agree wholeheartedly with Matt's assessment. I'd love spending time with other daemons if we were in a good mood, but we both dislike contact when we're feeling on edge.

Heeeeeeyyyy!

Which one would get him more ogles? That's the one he'd pick. He's a whore in every sense of the word, but especially for attention. Prolly the rock star option! (Honestly, he'd probs have both but ride in the rock star one to get more looks from the laaaaadies.)
