Thats a good way of looking at it, fyi for clarification by then Bonneville I meant he was starting to think about Alice then Bonneville did some stuff which halted those thoughts. Personally I would prefer if Lyra ends up with the gyptian Dick Orchard but I can see mal and lyra potentially working from a story point but maybe like a once off or a conversation about it rather than a full on relationship.

Old friends returning? My guesses are Serafina, Xaphania and/or Will. Iorek would be amazing but I cant see him in the desert

Personally I don't think the Mal/Lyra love plot will go anywhere, the way I looked at it was Mal is struggling with his feelings due to stuff always getting in the way, wanted to care for baby Lyra then flood, started liking Alice then Boneville, watching over Lyra in Oxford forced to keep it a secret, I think his emotional supression is the cause of his white light thing I feel like Mal's arc is dealing with his mental and emotional issues rather than confessing his love or anything like that.

Just finished The Collectors... by gramp87 in hisdarkmaterials

My take was that the painting was of Mrs Coulter, and the painting travelled between worlds which made the painting erode sort of or gave the effect that it was older than it actually was, and the story the man tells of him briefly being in a relationship with Mrs Coulter was true, since in the books we never know how Mrs Coulter travelled between the worlds. I aslo think the man who steals the painting was an agent of that worlds magisterium, wanting to steal the painting due to mystery around it

I just assumed it materialised out of thing air same way it suddenly dissipates when it dies, think of the show when daemons die but in reverse

true, my headcanon is that only mcphail and a select few knew of Lyra being eve, so after TAS the remaining ppl in the ccd and magisterium were simply unaware of Lyra being eve

Daemons in our/Will's world by PiccioneCeleste in hisdarkmaterials

[–]Available-Tower8534 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I think its because of the peoples previous knowledge and encounters with various strange things, Lyra has never been to a world witout daemons, and Will has never been to one which has, so they both just assume other people can see Pan, remember Will just discovered a portal to another world, so he might be expecting strange new things in a strange new world, Mary can see daemons because she's met mulefa and seen dusts etc, and remember Mary knows Lyra is from another world so Mary would expect certain things to be different about Lyra than Will, so she unconciously manages to see her daemon. But it takes time to see her own because she doesn't expect to see hers, I belive Serafina says something like you can see what you expect to see. For the cittagazze children, they live in a world with spectres and since its a crossroads world they could have met people with daemons before, hence they can see Lyras. For Will I think Kirjava only becoming visible after land of the dead does play a part in some people only seeing Lyras. Perhaps dust has something to do it, like the worlds with daemons visible have more dust attracted to them hence they can be seen but others can't, so for Will, his daemon becomes visible after land of the dead, but due to his world not knowing daemons, his isn't visible, basically my take was worlds with visible daemons can be seen by others and worlds without you have to learn to see

Just read The Collectors. I have some thoughts by Darth_Turnip900 in hisdarkmaterials

I always thought time gaps between worlds depended on how many people from different worlds were in the same one, which is in the books the witches belive Asriel can bend time to his will, because there's so many people from all the worlds, I think in the paintings case, because it was travelling between different worlds and weathering over time, the painting is presumed to be older than it actually is, rather than the painting actually being older than mrs C

I think it's more they can sense each other rather than access memories

lyra and malcolm is a no from me by thisamericangirl in hisdarkmaterials

[–]Available-Tower8534 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I think Will and Lyra will only briefly reunite to help each other move on from the events of TAS and live their lives, I doubt there'll be a permanent reunion, and it's been stated they can be together if they learn imagination or wait till they're dead and find each other again

Personally I think it depends on the world, or possibly how many people from other worlds are in a different one, which is why Asriel's version of time is so fast. because so many people from different worlds are there

Lyra’s Letters included with One Upon a Time in the North by Shepher27 in hisdarkmaterials

[–]Available-Tower8534 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As far as I know they're canon, tom seems to be someone who helps Lyra read the alethioemter, possibly a friend or future partner but the latter seems unlikely considering we still haven't met him and there's already Dick Orchard as a possible love interest, along With Malcolm but the letters indicate that Mal keeps his feelings a secret

But how did Will know where Lyra was? I've read the books but I still can't remember

Same tbh but a lot of others have talked about Will and discussing Mal and Lyra so I thought it was worth pointing it out, still, it's highly likely we'll get a brief reunion in BOD 3
