!bookworms what are your thoughts?
I never read, I only watched the Nicole Kidman film and the first season of the show. But I did some wikipedia reading on their fictional world
>people have dæmons which are their souls living outside their bodies in the shape on an animal
>Jean Calvine became Pope and the Church, I mean, the Magisterium, became some totalitarian uber powerful org in charge of Europe.
>God and the angels exist and our heroes want to kill them because the Kingdom of God is bad, Republic of Heaven is good and Church bad or something.
!catholics thoughts?
I did like the victorian-to-dieselpunk aesthetics the film and show have with the dirigibles and balloons, even if dirigibles are gay.
@ACA can you ping the calvinists and atheists please?

Read two of the books, never watched the movies or shows.
They're... okay. If he wasn't so insistent on RELIGION IS BAD, CHRISTIANS ARE HORRIBLE, I HATE C.S. LEWIS they would be a lot better. He's so het-up on S*X IS THE ANSWER S*X IS GREAT S*X MAKES US ADULTS that he very nearly has a pair of twelve year olds fricking at the conclusion, and just about avoids that with a late realisation that this is supposed to be a kid's book and he's not Stephen King and "It" so he'll get into hella trouble if he does that.
Then he breaks up his pair of pubescent lovers eternally so they'll never meet again, and that's supposed to be the happy ending?
There's some good bits, take those (most people love the bears, for example) and forget the messaging.

Lovecraft found sexuality repulsive. Deep ones aren't male feminist because any s*x act repulsed him significantly. Especially with t

His wife had to explain it like a magic system. See, they can fuse their essence together to create a new entity with both of their traits, but it all depends on a complex biological cycle. And if she doesn't c*m the baby won't have a soul

1. "He is literally me"
2. "Darn this guy is cringe and annoying, not like me"
3. "Poor kid. I remember being that age. Shit sucked"
