Never try to guess a writer's motivation...

...OK, I just got out of seeing The Golden Compass with G and divinetailor, and I ran this theory by them.

I picture Philip Pullman sitting there writing, thinking, "OK, self, this is all very densely metaphysical and philosophical and I am pleased with that. But. I have this urge to write something BAD ASS.

What's the most badass thing I can think of, that is SO badass that no one will ever think of anything half as badass again?

I know. Polar bears. Talking polar bears.

Viking warrior polar bears.

Who WEAR ARMOUR.

Yeah. That's badass." *types*

Also, quantum_witch? divinetailor passed on your present! I LOVE IT! (It's a stuffed toy crow that makes a cawing noise when you squeeze it.)

I'm just glad she gave it to me after the movie, not before. I take unhealthy delight in toys that make annoying noises. It would only be a matter of time before someone turned around and snarled, "Can you SHUT YOUR DAEMON UP please?"
