I have a neck pillow that is shaped like a penguin. Well, a very oddly shaped penguin. It has a penguin head at one end, anyway. I use it sometimes in place of a pillow under my head. Today I had a French braid in for a wedding I was attending (I even wore a dress zomg), and I didn't want to take it out, but lying on my back means it would be all lumpy and ridgey against a pillow, and I am very sensitive in that regard -- can't even wear the cpap mask harness "properly" because that would put a buckle under my head. So, tonight is a neck pillow night.

My aide (the awesome one) asked if I'd read Golden Compass, and when I said yes, she said that the pillow looked like my daemon.

I was vastly amused, and quite okay with the thought of a penguin daemon :D

You are now in a Daemon AU!

Does your penguin daemon have a name?

[ysobel]

Mardegallan. Deg for short. (Don't ask me why, that's just what came to mind.)

[krait]

Huh. I like it!

(Every good name should have a nickname option. That's the one unsatisfactory point I hold against my username!)

PENGUIN DAEMON AWESOME.

I always wondered a little about daemons that looked like animals which weren't in their natural geography; does the daemon have those animal characteristics (like needing water, etc), or is it just the visual/audio appearances which match? What happens if someone develops a dolphin daemon?

But your penguin daemon sounds very cue - and bravo on Awesome Aide!

Golden Compass (well actually the subtle knife) did some bad things to me because of schizophrneic issues it triggered, but I kind of liked the idea of a daemon.

[ysobel]

I don't like the second two books (and I apologize if mentioning the books is triggering), but I totally love the concept of daemons. They're like a patronus that you don't have to summon!

and a totally non-annoying pet because it can read your mind :D
