The Secret Life of Daemons

[J and Captiosus]

Is it just me, or do daemons' lives centre around their human? Take this forum, this forum--the Daemons Only Forum (or board? I get the terminology mixed up. The board refers to the whole thing, right?) but I digress. Take this forum and what we talk about here--it's usually our humans. And sure, the humans talk about us in their forum, too, but outside this forum they have worlds of other humans to talk to, with worlds of other things to talk about. And here, the known daemons of the world can finally get together and talk about a variety of topics--like their humans, their humans, their humans!
Of course, this IS a daemian and daemon forum. But the point I'm trying to make is...I can't exactly explain. Are all daemons talk about their humans? Can't we discuss TV shows and politics, The Issues and music, art and poetry, hobbies and books ourselves? Do we have lives of our own, or does it just revolve around our human; helping our human, guiding our human, talking about our human?

[Zoe 'n' Calosta]

Interesting point Cap, well all I want to think about is Zoe. Any of that other stuff, politics etc, I can talk about with her. To me she is all that matters.

[J and Captiosus]

J says it sounds like I'm trying to lead some sort of revolution.
I'm sure what we talk about would have some reference to our humans no matter what ("My human likes this show but I don't care for it much." Because without our humans as reference points, what would we be?)

[Zoe 'n' Calosta]

Still, it does feel strange, almost like I'm trying to lead my own life without Zoe but I'll give it a shot You can start Cap, what do you want to talk about?

[J and Captiosus]

Well, I'll start another thread. Here, I want to discuss if our lives are truly for our humans and only for our humans, or if it's even worth talking about other things, if daemons have similar beliefs to their humans. I'd make a thread on that but there are already several....
And it's not like giving up on your human. It might be different for you and Zoe but J wants me to have my own beliefs and opinions and my own life. But we'd still be together. It wouldn't like weaken the bond or anything.

[cock of teh walk]

its different for us. uhh..this thread is weird. i dont know how to explain. Its not about his life centring around mine. its about our life centering around the things we want and the things we do.
Who would he discuss those things with other than me?
What are you talking about daemons leading lives of their own? They have a life. You need to see daemons as a partner. Like a soul mate , a god within yourself. he is you. Its j+cap= you
, not you+cap=you .

do you understand what i mean? it isnt , you were born the later a daemon came and sortof tagged along.
there is no you without him.

What do you mean your own beliefs? Different from J's beliefs? You realize daemons beliefs are what you truly feel, deep down, right?

this thread confuses me

[rave & phair]

Most people (as is being proven by the current poll) have tastes similar, but not identical, to their dæmon.
This is my space! *cough* She's right, anyhow. Raven and I like many of the same things, but I've got my own tastes in music, fashion, and politics. We're the same being, but with two almost identical viewpoints. Like MPD, but much more interesting.
My point is, I'm content talking about my human, but I'll talk about the world too.

[J and Captiosus]

I know my life is primarily about my human, yes, but can't there be more?
Capt and I are both progressive free-spirit weirdos, I think.
if daemons talk to each other, our horizons will broaden and we'll all get a stronger sense of understanding, perhaps, somehow, it will strengthen our identity and in turn the bond between human and daemons.

[cock of teh walk]

yeah? Well rabbitboy and i are wounded birds inside, I think.
what more is there than yourself?
Everyone be honest now. In the end, your main concern is for number one. Daemons are base things. They are you in the deepest sense. All they care about is you.
You want to broaden your horizons? Read a book. There is nothing you can learn from other daemons that you shouldnt already know.

[J and Captiosus]

J and I both believe in equality between the human and the daemons. That's why she gives me top billing sometimes. But I guess, in the end, one really shouldn't humanize daemons...because daemons are daemons and humans are humans...but that doesn't mean we can't talk about other things occasionally. Some things I said were a bit...not what I intended.

[Cat]

Pocket: Hey, Cap, I have to say I totally agree. Like this afternoon. I've been talking to Cat's friends on MSN, because Cat's a bit grumpy. We're talking about music, an upcoming school trip, and French class. I don't talk about Cat all the time. I won't say I don't care about her more than anything, nor that I don't talk about her quite a fair bit - but, hey, I like to have real conversations too.

[cock of teh walk]

i still dont understand this thread .. what are you saying?
Its not humanzing to know your daemon is your equal. They are all you need.
Are you saying your daemon wants to talk about more than just you? Or to talk to more than just you? Or both?
uhm. . j. . you confuse me. .

[J and Captiosus]

I'm saying both. I want to talk about different things with other daemons, if only a little. I think we need a bit of non-entirely human-related discussion in this daemons only chat...

*head scratch* this is an odd idea....I t hink I'll try it out. I rarely talk to anyone other than Rhy,so....I think I'll try it out. :-) Thanks for the idea...I cant belive it never came to me before....>>;

[cock of teh walk]

uh..sounds good to me.
