Read on Twitter
So I’m finally watching the His Dark Materials miniseries. I never actually read the books, but I’ve got a great deal of osmosis about daemons, and a very little amount of osmosis about anything else. I’ll tag live tweets with #BessHDMWatch
Daemons aside, here’s what I know going in:
—it’s Pullman’s answer to all of Lewis’s xtian bullshit in Narnia, which I’m obvs extremely in favor of
—some xtian group when it came out called it “atheism for kids” so I actually DID try to read it but bounced off 2x in grade school
—it’s Pullman’s answer to all of Lewis’s xtian bullshit in Narnia, which I’m obvs extremely in favor of
—some xtian group when it came out called it “atheism for kids” so I actually DID try to read it but bounced off 2x in grade school
—there’s some kind of worldbuilding thing about like, witches and bird daemons??
—Ruth Wilson is DEFINITELY evil (and almost def gonna be my favorite character)
—James McAvoy is?? maybe evil????
—a talking armored polar bear features at some point
—Ruth Wilson is DEFINITELY evil (and almost def gonna be my favorite character)
—James McAvoy is?? maybe evil????
—a talking armored polar bear features at some point
That’s pretty much it! Other than the names of the books which just sound like names of macguffins.
I’m v curious to actually get context for so much of my daemon osmosis!

Fuck James McAvoy is............such a good actor, I’m over halfway thru the first ep and I have NO IDEA if he’s a charming evil bastard or a “you’re right but you’re an asshole” character (do not tell me which), and tbh, LOVE that for him #BessHDMWatch
Mmmhmmmmmm yep I fucking love Ruth Wilson, she’s so fucking fashionable AND sinister #BessHDMWatch
THESE EPISODES ARE SO LONG, DAMN, SO MUCH HAS HAPPENED
I’m absolutely intrigued tho, going onto the next ep shortly #BessHDMWatch
