Pood's Dark Materials/My Dumb Fabric/G8 Pokemon

Just replaced MLP in the DVR with His Dark Materials...*sniff* Pretty cool so far. Never read the books but have enjoyed getting filled in on the backstory and lore, particularly the awesome concept of the daemon. (Yeah yeah yeah, show me talking animals and I'm in, pretty much...)
Okay, so *hoping* that in Pullmanverse my daemon would settle as one of my two favorite types of animal, to which I feel the deepest spiritual connection...then I'd wind up with either a dog or a fish (including rays and sharks as choices...and possibly other aquatic/invertebrate creatures, but I guess, just say tropical fish.) BUT evidently a fish would require you to constantly tow around a tub of water, sooooo...I suppose aquatic or amphibious daemons would actually be rare and somewhat unlucky to have? You'd need to remain near a suitable body/container of water at all times, which could be tricky, heh. And they'd probably need surface to speak to you. So that sort of eliminates tons of options, buuuut, anything that helps narrow down is okay, right? As I was figuring the other day (at the bottom)...I could crossover and have a fishy Patronus, right?? ^^' Aaaanyway.
Obviously my ideal situation then would be a dog of a favorite breed (preferably Saluki, the eternal easy #1.) Apparently a lot of servants have dog daemons--oooh, how stereotypical, because doggos are obedient and subservient, right? Harr. They're also the most diverse species on any planet. ;p Clearly I identify with the more independent and feline-esque of canines--ones sophisticated, intelligent, elegant, graceful, dignified. Who choose to bestow their undying loyalty and infinite devotion upon only the worthiest. Whose love is ultra-special because it is earned rather than automatically given. ;p
So, yeah. I dig this concept. It's basically your classic dream talking animal companion, only it's an actual inherent part of you at the same time......
Evidently people don't always get their preferences (e.g., somebody who wants, say, a lion, and gets, say, a Poodle.) Wait, say WHAT now?!?! A magnificent, glorious, noble, brilliant, athletic, fuckin' badass Caniche would be a tremendous honor and thrill...! The fiercest and most fearsome Pood laughs at the ridiculous notion of disappointment. That's a hot one. 

Very very surprised to see that daemons are usually of the opposite sex from their people. Same-sex ones can indicate that the person is possessed of "second sight," or is homosexual? xD Well, the former could certainly apply if that were my case. Now, show me all the folks with elephants, giraffes, hippos, rhinos...how convenient that must be. x-3 How do they stick near enough to you? What about those with heavy, slow daemons they can't carry or drag if they have to run from danger? Wouldn't such people be relatively easy to kill (especially since killing a daemon kills the person?) #pondering

*The "hat" trio immediately brought to mind some of my favorite Fripples for some reason (the circular spotted one with two cones and a party hat, the teardrop one with diagonal stripes and sombrero. xD Plus the adorable sleeping-cap one.)

11.7.20~Just introduced: Glastrier, Spectrier, & Calyrex. Legendary shadow (Luna!) & ice horses plus their rider...I mean, cool...I'm saying "'Glahs-tree-ay' et 'Speck-tree-ay,'" mmmkay. And once again I'm reminded of Sibereon, the Ice-type Eeveelution I drew before Glaceon came along. It was basically a Regice dog. c-x Probably the best design I came up with, but not the only faceted canine, hee...

11.19 intros: Regieleki (noice color), Galarian Legendary Birds (scary Articuno reminding me of the Rock-A-Doodle owls like Malamar...chicken Zapdos...badass dark-fire Moltres...)

Moi as Produce? (Downtown as Fruits/Veggies?)

So random, but a friend self-identified as a potato...and I, queen of knowing what I'd be 'if I were a/an [insert noun]*' (I have just ever so many longass lists of favorite everythings x~3), said I wanted to be a veggie too. And a fruit. But which?? Hence these lists of favorites, headed by top choices for the question at hand (ofc all red ones had to be strongly considered. ;)

Vegetables:

Rhubarb (probs), radish, beet, ginger, bell pepper (orange--or red, yellow), mushroom (probs Cantharellus cinnabarinus*), (red) squash/gourd/pumpkin, carrot; eggplant, spinach, asparagus, broccoli, cucumber, celery, cauliflower, water chestnut, watercress, sweet corn & peas; okra winfrey, zucchini, parsnip, turnip, rutabaga; lemongrass!, anise!, lavender!, basil, oregano, parsley/sage (my pleco!)/rosemary/thyme ;p (OH WAIT RAINBOW CHARD...[comments ^^]) And naturally, if I were a potato, I'd be...a purple/blue/indigo one...most likely.

*other 'shroom/fungus choices would include (whether edible or not):

Hygrophorus miniatus; psittacina, punicea, flavescens

...love all fruits+most veggies so just, y'know...yeah, throw all the rest in there somewhere...  (I'd bet that I'd also like the exotic fruits you can almost never try here in any form e.g. tangelo, citron, breadfruit, cherimoya, rambutan, durian...prickly pear, pepino, kiwano, tomatillo...)

Wonder how many other dragonfruit/rhubarbs are out there. 

Related note--next garden I grow is gonna be, one way or another, VERTICAL. B-|
And goddamn do I love juices that never have any pulp or sediment!! X-P Just smooth, thin, light and lovely clarity...

*Seriously, my tons of old notebooks/documents/LiveJournals are loaded with lists of favorite everythings partly for that reason...birds, bugs/insects/creepy-crawlies, animals of any given type or environment or cartoon/movie, plants/cacti/mushrooms/fungi, gemstones/colors, appliances/tools, names, characters, toys, candy/dessert, cereal/fewdz, every kind of game/sport/activity, etc. I'm all about studying shit and learning, organizing, arranging...

...oh, right. Those.

Also...I think I believe in reincarnation...but there are only so many animals I would VERREH MUCH want to be. #1, of course: Dog (one of my favorite breeds, preferably Saluki because that is Best Doggo, paws-down. Love bein' a sassy, snarktastic Saluker.) And after that...a tropical reef fish, tbh. I've many a favorite in fresh and saltwater, but I'd have to pick one of my fave tangs/surgeons, file/tile or triggerfish, box/trunkfish, angel or butterfly/bannerfish, dottybacks, damsels/anemone-clowns, gobies, mandarin!/dragonets, (royal!) grammas, anthias, or a Moorish Idol. Or a bluespotted ribbontail ray (oh, how I love rays...and sharks...lotsa faves in that fishy category...)
Or else, a nudibranch (especially the black/orange/green ones. Or red/blue/yellow. Or pink/purple/orange.) Ugh, too many gorge ones.
Maybe a vividly-colored bird, or harlequin toad or arrow/dart frog.
I just want to be beautiful creatures. The most beautiful creatures. xD Guess I'm vain. Sue me. (That's why my favorite Pokemon are the ones I find beautiful and/or awesome-looking, and why I surround myself with so much beauty absolutely everwhurr.)


10/19/19: I'm interested in the "His Dark Materials" series due to the awesomeness of the "daemon" concept...obviously mine would be a dog...maybe my Patronus could be my second-favorite animal (tropical fish), since could you even have an aquatic daemon? Could it be a fish that swims in the air, or a walking catfish or something? Whereas a Patronus is sort of formed from magickal light energy emitted from your wand, so, that'd make more sense for that, ja? So, okay. Dog daemon, fish Patronus. Breed choice is easy (Saluki), though fish species ain't. Could be a ray (blue-spotted ribbontail if so), could be a tang...or a filefish, trunkfish...too bad it's a male boxfish with the most glorious pattern...or, any number of others. Even a shark maybe (epaulette? Leopard? Carpetshark, catshark-type?)
For aquatic inverts, it'd be a nudibranch, ofc. (Or a worm that resembles one. xD) For reptile/amphibian, a poison dart frog or harlequin toad. For cats, Cornish Rex or Oriental Shorthair. Horses--one of the top ones on that list. In other cases, I'd be one of the most vividly-colored whatever. ;p
 
[Not wanting to have to add another comment just for this... Latest "obscure annual/perennial names you'd (probably/hopefully) never give your kid," from Burpee: asparagus fern. amsonia. centaurea. bergenia. eucomis. eupatorium. petchoa. bidens. cephalanthus. osteospermum. Aaaand more from a "flowers as personality traits" thing: canterbury/cathedral bells, angelica, sea holly, peruvian peppertree, honesty, stephanotis, meadow lychnis, hyssop; ivy, clover, foxtail grass, sweetshrub, walnut; chrysanthemum spelled correctly :p]

10/6/24: If I were a tool (which I ain't lol), I'd be a laser level. Neon-colored, with neon liquid and bubbles, getting to fire a frickin' laser beam. If they didn't exist then maybe the electric drill or mallet or screwdriver or something with a neon and/or translucent handle. x-}
