Ok, I have a question for al the daemians, what are you supposed to do at cie-day? Today's ours and we don't know what we have to do :/

After Ursula, here comes Vanessa’s story 😈🐙🏰

y'all know I’m a sucker for modern aus, also known as “dæmons in our here and now”

taking a photo of your dæmon falls in the same category as a selfie (dæfie? seldæfie?) but most people prefer taking selfies WITH their dæmons instead of individually, unless the situation calls for it like your cockatoo-dæmon hanging upside down somewhere or your elephant-dæmon looking so aesthetic against the sunset

y’know in snapchat how you have to customise a bitmoji to look like you and stuff? doing the same with your dæmon! of course those that are settled have it easier since there’s only one form they have to customise. unsettled will have to make an extra effort and customise every form their dæmon takes to add it on the sticker.

add more, come on!!

I absolutely love the concept of having a hdm!daemon but honestly? The one thing I can’t agree with is the taboo of daemon touching. It would simply be too much of a problem in society. 

It would be extremely hard not to touch a daemon in areas where there are lots of people and little space. People bump into each other all the time on the street, in hallways, in trains and subways, etc. In Japan, people value personal a lot, and yet even there people squish together in trains or run into each other while crossing the street. If touching a daemon was the equivalent of rape, rape rates would go up drastically. Not to mention, big daemons would have an especially hard time because of all of the space they take up. What if you and your daemon have a big family but live in a small house? Even worse, what if all your family members have big daemons? You could argue that you could just move to a bigger house, but what if you can’t afford it?

Also, what happens if you trip or faint and accidentally touch a daemon? What if you and your daemon need to be carried to safety, but no daemon is big enough to carry yours away? What, you and them would just be left to die? 

I think that if daemons did exist, an unwanted touch would simply feel uncomfortable but not traumatizing (unless the intention was bad). If daemons are your soul, your “true self”, then I suppose it would sort of feel like someone learning something deeply personal about you. Depending on how open you are or what culture you’re from, it can be either seen as rude and intrusive or normal and not a big deal. Accidental touching would be pretty normal, and while most people would dislike it, others wouldn’t care much. People touching your daemon to remove them from a dangerous situation would also be normal and expected, even if most would find it uncomfortable. I also think that it would be somewhat normal for family members and close friends to touch your daemon, although there would be exceptions.

I found a thread and decided… Hm… Maybe a need a little bit of sin afterall…

— casual ways to connect with deities

pray to them

straight up just talk to them, tell them about your day

offer some of your meal to them (or alternatively, the steam from your meal)

cook with them and/or for them

pick a movie to watch with them, especially if it connects to things they rule over (i.e. a romcom with hera or aphrodite, a documentary about the sea for poseidon, etc)

give them the first sip of your morning drink, or even make a cup for them

assign them a stuffed animal and take care of it as a devotion to them (bonus points if that animal is sacred to them or if you associate it with them)

say good morning/good night

thank them for the things you see (i.e. thanking apollo when you see a pretty sunrise/sunset, thank hypnos for a good night’s sleep, etc)

blow kisses to them
