the personification of death being portrayed as deeply kind in fiction is something that reduces me to tears every single time

Garden of Death by Hugo Simberg is one of my favorite pieces of art for that very reason.

Life is a garden and Death is the caring gardener

Oh my God. As a librarian this post is AMAZING.

So much for “in Britain, our outdoor cats have no effect on the wildlife”. Put them inside, you dorks.

I love this picture because even 70 years ago, way up in the Arctic in a culture very different than my own, a 17 year old still had the same “Dad, please hurry up and take the damn picture” expression that characterized every picture taken of me from 2001-2007. 

Some things are universal

reading His Dark Materials at age 9: wow, Lyra is so cool!! I love the witches and the parallel worlds and I want a daemon too!

reading His Dark Materials now: wow… the building blocks of humanity and consciousness itself are creativity and love. freedom is gained through knowledge. we have a responsibility to fight authoritarian regimes and create a better world. “We have to build the Republic of Heaven where we are, because for us, there is no elsewhere.” also, I want a daemon too.

Pan!  I saw it. What were you thinking about?  It was…strange. Like my mind…it went blank.

I’ve been really interested in His Dark Materials since the new TV show started. I was looking for more in depth research about the world building of daemons because it’s such a fascinating concept and like I discovered how daemons get their names. So when a child is born, the child’s daemon is named by their parents daemons.

So when Lyra was born and Pan started existing, that means that THIS MOTHERFUCKER

THIS THING is what gave Pantalaimon his name.

You could argue that Stelmaria might’ve contributed to the name but based on the fact that it was a highly scandalous affair, I doubt Asriel was anywhere near Lyra’s birth.

But like, the golden monkey being the one to name Pan is so fucking wild. Like he chose a name based on a Greek saint? A name that basically means all-merciful?

The monkey wanted Lyra to be merciful. He wanted her to have mercy.
