Tauriel is Legolas’ “Beard”

Like…hear me out for a moment. I understand that she’s not really even canon. BUT stick with me. Cause especially if you’re a gay man who made it to your near 30s you’ll understand what I mean when I say that we’ve all had that one girl-best-friend who takes full responsibility for our antics…our beloved fag-hags.

But just picture this: Thranduil is pressuring Legolas to finally start thinking about settling down.

Yeah sure he’s immortal, but that doesn’t mean that he won’t go mad soon if he doesn’t start seeing little platinum-blonde headed elflings within the next few centuries.

SO just picture Legolas finding his best friend who is a class below him, and he kinda wants to stick-it-to-his-dad because EW DAD HOW DARE YOU ASSUME THAT ID LIKE FEMALES.

He f*ckin’ loves the way that she’s a skilled warrior just like him, but can’t imagine ever making her a romantic interest. She’s kinda his best friend , so screw it. He’s going on a mission to go to Rivendell soon anyways because of the whole gollum escaping thing.

So because of that, and the way she just fell in love with some Dwarf named Kiwi or something…he makes sure that she’s ok, he comes out to her, and then he makes sure that her job is safe with his dad before he goes.

TIME JUMP to the future where he meets Gimli, with his red hair just like Tauriel’s. He even acts like her, a warrior but a lovebug™️ when they’re alone.

Imagine; dæmon care

Imagine a man and his Great Pyrenees dæmon sitting on the floor of their bathroom after a bath. The man is carefully blow-drying his dæmon's neck fur with one hand, and picking through the knots of her fur with a comb in the other. With so much fur, this grooming session will take a while, but neither the man nor his dæmon mind.

Imagine a girl leaving the window to her apartment open on a warm, rainy day so her Amazonian tree toad can sit on the sill, soaking the raindrops into his skin. The girl is reading a long book that keeps dropping her into a doze. The two aren't speaking but contentedness swells between them. Far from the distance, a rumble of thunder creeps in to say hello.

Imagine a magpie dæmon covered in pollen from the sudden influx of spring. Their person gently rubs them down with a damp cloth, separating each feather for cleaning. The magpie is perfectly capable of preening themself, but they don't want the taste of pollen in their beak for the next few hours. Usually it's easy for bird dæmons to avoid getting dirty, but the days are getting hotter and the magpie has been increasingly less inclined to fly, so they were riding on their human's shoulder when they ran into a tree. Karma? Perhaps.

Imagine a mule dæmon getting its hoof picked. "It's fine, you just have a a bit of gravel that's stuck," says the man, with his dæmon's hoof in his hands. His dæmon just huffs and tosses their head, annoyed they aren't being spoiled a bit more in such a time of distress.

Imagine a child with a dæmon that's stuck as a gosling. They aren't settled yet— they can still change shape if they focus hard enough— but sometimes, as their mother told them, people just need their dæmons to look and act a certain way for a little bit, until they feel ready to move on. Every day, the child makes certain to fill up the bathtub so their dæmon can swim for a while, ducking their downy head underwater and bobbing back up like a cork. Usually swim time devolves into splash fights; their mother has resigned herself to toweling up water for the next few weeks.

Imagine a woman herding her ewe dæmon out into the backyard, shears in hand. Lots of people don't realize that sheep dæmons need to be sheared. "What, do they think wool grows in backwards?" The ewe grumps, and the woman just shakes her head. "Make sure not to cut too close," the ewe adds, as if the woman ever does; this has been their routine for almost twenty years.

Imagine a teenage boy's hermit crab dæmon molting her exoskeleton for the first time. Both of them are more than a little alarmed. It feels strange, she tells the boy, being so soft and vulnerable, hardly able to move until her exoskeleton hardens up. The boy keeps fiddling with the different shells they'd picked out earlier from the supply store. He hopes she picks the one that's been painted black and gold.

5) Breathtaking. Our boyfriend loves to listen to “Himeros” by Davey Wavey, and found an episode that talks about paying attention to the needs of your boyfriend. So we both took in turns, that one would relax the lips and just let the other kids them the way they want to be kissed. It worked wonders 🧔🏻

24) When he brushes my hands, when he kisses me out of no where, or studies my face for too long trying to read my mind 🧔🏻

25) Not exactly. I believe in chemistry at first sight. But I’ve come to understand that love is a commitment to working towards something bigger than yourselves. 🧔🏻 She’s helped guide me through that 🐈‍⬛

26) To an extent. Sometimes some things just feel WAY too familiar to be chance 🧔🏻 Who can say reincarnation isn’t real if you can’t remember it 🐈‍⬛

27) Depends on the night, but I’d always go with a trusty leather.

28) “Capricorn” 🧔🏻🐈‍⬛

29) NOPE 🧔🏻 “and thank god too”, she’d like to interject 🐈‍⬛

That’s how I learned at my hospital, they kinda threw us to the wolves when we learned phlebotomy. Everything, actually, but yeah... 🧔🏻

I’m gonna lose it I was just getting my blood drawn and the first vein she stuck wasn’t producing any blood so she took the needle out and it didn’t bleed at all and I said “woah….I don’t have any blood” and she very seriously said “I doubt that’s it. I’m having an issue finding a big enough vein.”

She really thought I really thought maybe I’m outta blood.

To some, growing up isn’t about realising how you were young and foolish and your elders always knew better. To some, growing up is realising that your parents are full of shit and you were right all along.

Of course!! And awww, I love that, great form 👨🏻‍⚕️🐆

Michael! It’s Tito and Amy, we were wondering, if Itxaro were a snake, which kind of snake do you think they’d be?

Hey Tito and Amy! This is something we’ve thought about before actually. Itxaro would be an amelanistic (albino) corn snake! Of course, an albino wouldn’t be completely white, just lacking in pigment. Corn snakes are curious creatures and fairly small for snakes, and even though they are always moving, they’re still pretty handleable. Corn snakes are a type of rat snake, which means they kill by constriction, so they aren’t poisonous! Additionally, I have a personal experience with a corn snake, and I have lived in much of their range in the US, which gives me more connection to them. Thanks for the ask!

sometimes you might experience burnout from visualizing your dae all the time or interacting with them and listening to them and that’s alright! it can be draining and sometimes we need a break, that doesn’t mean you’re failing them or yourself or anyone else, that just means you need a rest and that doesn’t make you any less valid 🌷

Hi! This is Michael from hopedaemon. I was super curious how you and Amynta settled as a black panther, if you don’t mind my asking!

Hi there Michael, thanks for the question, we are glad to answer! (And are also glad to finally informally meet another dæmian.) But Aramyntas and I settled on the form in the more classical “Pullman Symbolic Approach”. We did a lot of self meditating, introspection, and we took a few looks at the various aspects of my personalities.

I took the more classical approach to the form finding because of my personality which is a lot of “by the books”, kind of personality. Of course not everyone has to do this, but it’s just how I took my approach.

First we looked at a specific side of my being. My more introverted side, which I haven’t necessarily “grown out of”, but more have just been able to navigate away from. It is still there obviously, one can’t just decide to pick up and be an extrovert, but we found that I am very much an Introverted-extrovert, in that I draw and recharge my energy from being alone, but I can still be out and about in a profession (like healthcare as a nurse assistant) where I can openly be around people.

So we took a look at my more introverted side, being that it is a side of myself that I keep to myself for when I’m home and need to recharge, and we realized that we would need a form that is somewhat reclusive.

We also noticed that a big part of my attitudes are very “regal”, much in the same way that I like to be “by the books” in a lot of things, such as my prior example of the Pullman method, but I also like to be by the books in my work while at the hospital, and even in my own mannerisms. Of course I cut loose and have my fun, but my drawback to who I have always been as a person is very much like a by the books kind of person.

So in general I took these two traits of my my fallback personality, being reclusive and regal and realized that these traits were Aramyntas. I also was able to differentiate that the forefront of my personality is very much a social butterfly, and quick to make decisions and an impulsive kind of person, and so I was able to see the lines where I ended and Aramyntas started to begin. We realized that all through my life she was the more passive one urging cation, soothing me when I cried, reminding me of the rules, or even just being my ferocious courage when I needed it the most.

So before I get to how we landed on a Black Panther (melanated Jaguar), I’ll definitely say that we “tried on” a few forms. We realized that these forms were completely separate from a dæmon’s form, and this was somewhat of a hard pill to swallow for myself. But what I had tried to envision as Amy’s form was symbolically different from say, a spirit animal/guide or even a Harry Potter patronus. We went through several forms such as a lioness, a horse, we even sometimes played with the ideas of a swan. But none of these fit, and it all felt wrong and in the end she reminded me stick to the basics of my personality traits, and even to just narrow down (because omg there are just way too many animals out there to choose from), we narrowed down animals from where I would have come from in HDM.

So with reclusiveness, and a regal attitude, we also took a look at my heritage, because I figured that if I were to be in “Lyra’s world” of His Dark Materials, Amynta would most likely take the form of an animal from where I’m from (or in this case my dad is from). My dad is from Central America, and so we took a look at animals that matched my descriptions, and it was funny because Amy’s form was always there staring me in the face!

Short story Segway, but when I was little I had wanted to get a plush from the “Rainforest Café”, which is a restaurant that is in our local mall here in south Florida. Basically it has animatronics and lights and steam and the ambiance of a rainforest but in a dining experience. And I remember that I wanted this one animal plush in particular. And, looking back, there she was! That was Aramyntas the whole time! I didn’t know it, but my dæmon, even when I was young and, even she probably had no idea what for that she’d take, was with me in my room the whole time. My dæmon, a black panther.

The jaguar is native to Central America, and so I figured that because my father is from Central America, and that black panthers are reclusive, as well as them being regraded culturally as noble as well as them being the biggest of the “big cat breeds” in Central America, Aramyntas and I took one look at that plush, did a little research on the difference between Jaguars and the African Leopards. And there you have it, one Black Panther dæmon.

When it comes to Aramyntas’ gender, we felt that almost immediately. We read that in HDM that there was a man that had a same sex dæmon, but that Pullman never explained why this happened. So I tried to make Amy masculine in nature in my head, but she rejected that rather quickly, even as formless as she was early on. We thought about a genderless feel, but she was rather persistent on her gender early on, and when the dæmon knows what they want then they know what they want. Like, she is my soul, but separate from me, and even then has a voice of her own, and boy did she use it to tell me what she wanted.

When it comes to her name, it is Aramyntas in the full form, and short form being Amynta or even Amy if I’m feeling particularly lazy.

Interestingly enough, we found out her name earlier on before we found her form. We both looked at all of the dæmons in HDM, and we did a bit of study on their names, meanings, and etymology. We read that dæmons are named by their human-parents’ dæmons, to which we then had to consider what my parents’ dæmons would have named her.

As we both looked for her name, we “tried on” different sounding names, some even including the feminine version of my own, and we even tried the name of what my parents would have named me if I had been female, “Ana”. We liked Ana for a while, and it stuck maybe for a few months but other it soon wore thin, and she didn’t feel like it was working for us.

So we took to searching again, and we noticed that that there was honestly no consistency between the names of the dæmons in HDM besides that they were very extraordinary in terms that they were uncommon and aren’t heard of all the time in conversation. For example, some names were in completely different languages, and none seemed to solely come from one human’s native country over another. So we kept that in the back of our minds as we searched.

But when it comes to names, there’s honestly no easier way than to go to baby-naming-websites. I had found this out when I was looking up names for some books that I myself am writing, so I perused a few of these that I like personally. These can generate random names for you sometimes, and other times you can search specifically by gender, in different languages, or by country of origin.

So we just looked up girl names in all languages, and lightly browsed from A to Z, seeing which names stuck in our minds and wiring them down as we went. “Amynta” is actually a name in-of-itself, and we tried going with just that for a while, which felt the most comfortable out of all the rest. So we did more research on the name, and we found that there were variations of the same name. We saw the long form - Aramyntas, and it clicked for us. That was her. We held onto Amynta as a nickname of sorts, and then let it devolve into Amy (Ah-mee) as time went on. As for the meaning behind Aramyntas, and why we went with it, it is English in origin, and it means “Defender” just like a Lioness. We looked back in all of our soul searching and we realized that growing up Amy, as much as she was one to warn me to be cautious, to hold my tongue, or to follow the rules; she was also the one to light the fire under my butt when things were unfair or if I needed to be protected in someway or the other.
