@HDMPod This was (as always) a wonderful episode. I have some minutes left, but so far really fascinating. I do love learning about VFX (I guess one could see that based on my enormous pile of random questions I came up with in 5 min). Looking forward to the next interviews!
@StApolloandCleo Brande’s book probably feels dangerously close to her own experiences, so it makes sense that she out of all the students would find it interesting. But she would also know that stuff is more than just what is is, even just with her experiences with the alethiometer as a child.
@StApolloandCleo Lyra does even understand that she’s not supposed to be attracted to those books, given what she knows about the world(s). Had she seen the world as Pan does, how he remembers their journey, they would have far less problems. Not a perfect relationship, but far fewer arguments.
@StApolloandCleo I think it’s partially that Pan wants to take a more active part of Lyra’s life than what I feel the society expects of dæmons. Adults’ dæmons rarely do much in public, while Pan missed their childhood when they didn’t care and did what they felt like doing.
@StApolloandCleo Pan and Lyra being different used to be their strong point. They always seemed to be more independent than usual with dæmons, but used that to their advantage. Now Lyra has changed, but Pan is still stuck in the past (in a positive way).
@StSophiaCollege Trying to not get too much ahead, at this point (and a bit later) I feel most sorry for Pan. He has good reasons for being angry with Lyra. (As an aside, when writing dæmon I always forget I have the letter æ on my keyboard. I have no excuses when I end up writing daemon instead)
@StSophiaCollege … at least some years ago. Pan was always the cautious, but he tries to be brave since Lyra isn’t on his side. Sad thing is that they quarrel about unnecessary stuff that Lyra really would agree with if they had managed to discuss it in a calm and respectful way.
@StSophiaCollege It’s interesting how the book has two storylines, Lyra/Pan and this man and such. Pan wants to find out what it’s about, but his relationship to Lyra makes that hard. Doing stuff himself is a bit hard when you’re a dæmon. I feel like he does what Lyra would have done, …
@StSophiaCollege I’m very glad I read Serpentine before TSC, since that fits nicely into this part of the story. Still, very melancholic indeed. My thoughts is that they never really digested all they had been through, and them trying to just move on gradually led them apart. They need to talk.
@StSophiaCollege Exciting! I need more TSC content and discussion in my life, even though I realistically would probably be better off moving on.
