Dæmons
I finished reading The Golden Compass today. I love that book so much. Lyra is the most perfect child ever and there are witches and bears and I love Pantalaimon and Mrs. Coulter is cunning and devious and awesome. I have an odd thing for murderous, beautiful, intelligent women in literature. They're always the most fun characters. Mrs. Coulter is no exception. "Do you like chocolatl?" *shiver* She's a lesson in why you should not accept candy from beautiful strangers.
And I love the idea of dæmons. They're so cool.
On a Bionicle-related note, they actually reminded me of an idea I had forgotten about for quite a while. I want to see someday a team of Toa who are all accompanied by familiars. (for those who don't know what a familiar is, it's an animal companion spirit.) Like Jaller and the Hahnah crab. They could take the route the Hahnah crab does, and make a new mold that's used both on the familiar and somewhere on the Toa. You'd simultaneously fill the quotas for a new-body-armor-piece and something unique to each canister set!
I'm thinking the Water Toa would have a crab, and the Stone guy a scorpion, and the Air guy a bird, akin to a Taku. Something small and twittering.
Also, I have power. Fear me and my mop.
