this was a long undertaking but i’m beyond excited to post what i believe is the most comprehensive daemon-finding quiz to date, featuring 34 categories of animals and over 320 total possible outcomes! from insects to owls to seals to wild cats, you’re sure to find a unique result that fits your personality.
tag or comment what your daemon would be! :) mine’s a cocker spaniel!
EDIT: the quiz has two parts, the category which this post links to (34 options), and then the specific animal within that category (5-15 options) which you’re linked to once you get your result!
subquiz links below
this is pretty heartbreaking for me since this was the first big quiz i ever did and i can’t edit it anymore because ex.co is on a subscription-only basis now — all of the links to the sub-quizzes were removed, i’m guessing ex.co doesn’t allow links in results now. a real bummer because it breaks the quiz. :(
for anyone who’s still taking this, attached are all of the subquiz links!
- Domestic dog - Wild dog - Domestic cat - Wild cat - Reptile - Primate - Amphibian - Raptor - Owl - Flightless bird - Waterfowl - Perching bird - Equine - Deer - Musteloid - Mustelid - Bear - Insect - Arachnid - Rodent - Rabbit - Bovid - Pinniped - Fox - Viverroid - Antelope - Caprine - Marsupial - Swine - Xenartha - Eulipotyphla - Serpent - Cavitave - Bat
and here are all of the results, put together by user @snakedaemon! :)
Some photos of Leonard Nimoy at the Pear Blossom Parade (Medford, OR; April, 1967.) This was one of the only times Nimoy went out in public, in costume.

Do you ever lie awake wondering how the heck Gimli knows what a nervous system is
Clearly dwarves have medical knowledge far more advanced than that of the other races.

gimli trying to explain his studies to legolas, a flat-earther
#*scroll down* #*remember that middle earth is canonically flat for elves and round for everyone else* #*scroll back up & smash that reblog button"
tired: legolas took gimli to valinor with him because they were bffs/in love/etc.
wired: legolas took gimli to valinor to prove the world was flat after arguing with him about it for decades
Sorry it’s what to elves
So, in Tolkein lore, the world was originally flat, with most of the land in the middle (hence Middle Earth). But the Numenorians (men who were rewarded with their own Atlantis-equivalent island for service in the first big war against Melkor, but eventually Power Corrupts etc) tried to invade the uttermost west which was basically Elf Heaven. To put an end to that sort of thing, the creator of the world Bent The World and made it a sphere…but left elves able to treat it like a flat disk. So elves can sail west and reach Elf Heaven, but a man or dwarf or hobbit who sails west will eventually wrap around to the east coast of Middle Earth.

This is why Legolas can see for such great, almost impossible distances. The Earth does not curve for him.

what if i told you there was one user on the russian social network/ video sharing website odnoklassniki/oднокла́ссники that has uploaded nearly every movie ever from 1896 to the current day, mostly with subtitles. and including that has uploaded every criterion collection film in full hd with subtitles. for free. all hail ok.ru user fleurinna guta
they keep their films in unlisted folders so you cant just see them all on their profile unfortunately but ill provide links. also don't ask me why this user separates their films in this way, i don't know and frankly it confuses me too.
- EUROPEAN FILMS (sometimes includes west asian films?)
- JAPANESE FILMS
- CLASSIC FILMS (aka american and British films)
- "MISC FILMS" (aka films from everywhere that isn't the usa, europe, japan. sometimes films from the GDR are in here which is confusing again because communist germany was still part of europe)
this is a much better alternative to stuff like 123movies or bflix because there are no hot singles in your area or games that you wont last 5 minutes playing. hope u enjoy and let us all praise and embrace user fleurinna guta
oh heck yeah
ok.ru is always my go to for safer film finding and is great for hard to find gems
so just verifying for anyone hesitant that it’s an alright site to use and you can use it without logging in as long as you don’t mind either hitting skip on the login prompt regularly OR just fullscreen a video to avoid seeing it entirely.
Happy watching!
I really want to keep Blanc’s backstory a mystery, but if they ever do show us Blanc’s family on screen i hope they’re all played by iconic British actors with thick southern accents. let Ian McKellen and Judi Dench play Blanc’s parents. they’ve been cast as posh British people for so long. let them be free
The second issue of the Practical Handbook was all about queer readings so I made this non-fiction comic about reading Holmes as trans! It’s actually more of an introduction to the subject, ideally I’d like to turn it into a proper article some day, but it felt good to reflect on it and be able to have this in a publication as a valid reading. Researching critical material was emotionally draining since the very few published essays on the topic are incredibly transphobic and basically worthless, but that made me want to have my say even more. Many thanks to my good friends Mo and Elinor for helping me with the wording so as to make it accessible but to the point, and as always Katie for supporting my little transgender bum.
[Transcript of image text:
Reading Holmes as a trans man is very different from popular types of gender exploration such as ‘actually a woman in disguise’ & other ‘genderbendings’.
A woman pretending to be a man for social benefit at the turn of the century is still a woman, no matter how others might view her…
…While someone who was designated female at birth, but identifies as male, is a man.
We know very little about Holmes’ past. When he moves in with Watson, he has cut off all ties from his life prior to becoming a detective. Except for his secretive relationship with his brother Mycroft.
Although the term ‘transgender’ didn’t exist at the time, people whose gender doesn’t match the one they were assigned are anything but new.
There is nothing either historically or canonically which prevents the possibility of transness.
‘Scholars’ have usually pointed to descriptors such as his constant smooth face or his high voice as ‘evidence’ of transition. But no typically gendered traits can be totally conclusive.
A better hint would be Holmes’ disinterest in male socialisation outside of work, seemingly not having been conditioned to value men’s company. This is made evident by his introversion at university, his solitary habits, and his unclubbable nature.
On the other hand, Holmes clearly rejects femininity. He makes jest of ‘female frivolity’ and the supposed ‘passionate nature’ of women, but distances himself from them through the spurning of all emotions rather than by a reinforcement of his masculinity.
His emotional detachment could also be his way of coping with gender in a society that reprimands what is perceived as being out of the norm. By renouncing feelings and preventing any close relationship (Watson being the exception), Holmes makes it safe for him to live as his authentic self.
Over the decades, both queer theory and public attitudes have evolved tremendously. Yet discussions of gender & sexuality rarely make it into Holmesian scholarship. When they do, they’re seldom handled by the marginalised groups they deal with and are often presented for shock value.
The opposite phenomenon can be observed in online fandom, where people of different identities and backgrounds share their experiences by weaving them into a variety of accessible works.
Gender can be explored through a modern lens yet still be relevant to the original stories, and reading Holmes as trans is one of many valid ways to solve some canonical problems!
