What would a world by like if daemons were corporeal? I love musing about how the world would be different, so I thought I'd make a thread about it
Another one
Was there one before? Oh well, let the musing begin!

Well,aside from the obvious changings in size taht would have to occur, we wouldn't be as special for knowing ours. XD But they'd be able to comfort us more,although there'd be more discriminations because of a persons daemon. And maybe they'd work as a matchmaker,though,like..."Oh,I always have so much fun with a wolf. However,there'd be more judging and such aside from how people dress-it'd be about people's daemons. And statistics. XD "Over 70% of obese children have daemons that prefer to stay in PANTHER form? Coincidence?" Hahah. I'm jk.YOu know I <3 you.

Low blow Brooke, hehe but a good one. The whole careers thing too, like careers advisors would take one look at your daemon and say, "right you should be a nurse because of your sparrow daemon," or whatever. Again, maybe people would be bullied because their daemons haven't settled yet. That would be bad, because it's not anything you can change, and there's no way to fake it.

But life would also be much more fun. "Daemon, fetch me my soda!" JK, I love you Veil.

I think the whole thing with kids pretending that their daemon is something cool, like a leopard or a panther, would be really unfair to those who actually had a daemon with a settled panther form. We would be looked upon as liers, all because of some stupid, insecure kids.
Oh, and there would be an abundance of magazine quizzes that have topics like, "What does your daemon say about you?" or, "Are you in tune with your daemon?" Tabloids would also have a new host of stories to make up. I can see it now..."Kid born without daemon! Parents shocked!" "'I ate my daemon' says man!" "Daemon settles as a tree!"
Ah, life would be a whole lot weirder than it is now.
EDIT: Oh, and writing books would be a lot harder, because you'd have to figure out what each character's daemon would be. And how would they do movies and plays? For movies, they'd probably use cgi or something to replace the actor's daemons with the daemon of the character, and they'd probably have little costumes for the daemons in plays.
How would a costume help me look like a bird or something?
Well, how does a costume make a guy look like a woman? That's what they did in ancient times.
It must have been degrading.

Hehe, ate my daemon. Or 101 most common daemon forms articles or my fave tabloid 'Child born with 2 daemons!'

Transportation would really be an issue. I mean, how would you fit someone with an elephant daemon in a car?

And, say you had a dog daemon or something and had to climb a rope or tree. If there was a "not able to go far away from your daemon" issue, you wouldn't be able to.

I think that if daemons were physical, the army and stuff would probably only let people in whose daemons had certain features. Like flight. Or something like that. Because a flying daemon allows for much more manuverability on the human's part, and would probably do much better in battle. Like with that army in TGC that was completely made up of men with wolf daemons.

The army thing is interesting, someone with a large daemon would be twice the target of someone with a flitty little bird. But than again, aiming at another's daemon would probably qualify as a war crime or something.
I wonder if settling would be a big deal, because it's kind of like coming of age or something, right? I can see certain parents throwing parties to celebrate, and to show off to their friends how wonderful and mature their son/daughter is.
I also wonder if touching another person's daemon without permission would be punishable by law. It most likely would be in the workplace, like sexual harassment laws in our world, but just in passing on the street or something.

About the whole "not being able to fit in the car" thing, I was thinking... You know how Lyra's world is a lot less modern than ours? Maybe it's because physical dæmons hindered a lot of the development of inventions. Like cars. XD

I honestly think the world would be better. Or maybe at least my life. I can picture myself gettign in a fight, and my handsome dragon lighting another daemon on fire. *giggle* Instead of tiny cars, we'd all have to have larger ones.
Wouldn't it be really freaky (but still way cool) if we all woke up to have our daemons poking us? And the news stations all 'These animals keep telling us that they are our souls. Are we to believe them? Who will help us?' And we can all yell 'I can help the world!' And then we'd have to give lectures at our schools.
Wouldnt that be fun?

Yeah, that would be cool if we all suddenly woke up and they were physical. The first thing I'd do would be inform my family and non daemian friends what they were, then I'd turn on my laptop and rub it in the face of BTTS! Meh, I wish.
And I would so toatally pwn in fights! I mean, panther against a rabbit or whatever=instant win for moi.

Hahah. It's one of those things that christians will be doing whenever all of us pagans burn in hel "HAH! I TOLD you our god was the REAL ONE!" XD..I can see me going to a few daemtheists..."I TOLD YOU !" or..."I TOLD YOU YOU WERE A WOLF!" XD We'd be famous,too. Seen as spiritual leaders or something because we knew ours before. Worst Case Scenario- Waking up one morning to find that your daemon who you thought had settled a long time ago as a panther or leopard had really settled as a slug. XD

Oooh. Slug =( It would be cool to wake up and have them physical. People at school wouldn't understand why I was on speaking terms with my 'psycho animal' ^^ I can just see people. 'You /know/ it already!?!' MooThat was random. Anywho, that would be so cool.
