The Daemian Union (TDU) V2 (POSTING OPEN!)

It just so happens I am a bit of a veteran when it comes to needle felting! It looks dense, just make sure its firm. And those joins! Beautiful :3

Welcome lemon, Valute's the name
My little dae is Camarillyn, or Cam for short
At the moment we're going though a bit of a phase, testing a whole tonne different forms; though somehow always end up returning to our comfort form the American mink.

Do any of you have a female or genderless/genderfluid/etc./etc. dæmon?
Yes. It's not that uncommon. My daemon is female. I'm male, but the gender correlation appears to be largely book-related.

Even though daemons are incorporeal and therefore are able to change their gender at will (technically making them genderfluid)

A couple of things:

a) Incorporeality is not the reason that daemons can change their gender; the reason a daemon can change their gender is because they are imaginary.
b) This does not make daemons genderfluid. Though my daemon may have the ability to change genders, she never has, and would struggle with even attempting to do so. Just because one has the ability to do something does not mean they are actively that something that they are capable of doing (e.g. humans can change their hair style, but at any given moment a human will have short or medium or long hair unless they have a particularly asymmetrical cut; they do not have hair that is fluid in length).

Have any of your daemons ever taken the form of a sterilised animal? They have very different behavior from their 'intact' counterparts.

How would we identify that? I don't regularly look at my daemon's genitals or insides. Are you suggesting their behaviour would change? Or that the human's would?

Question time!

Do you get along with your dæmon, or do you have fights?
I myself am an indecisive person. I do quite often argue with Sol, but it's just friendly arguments that don't come to much.

My daemon has changed gender ALL THE TIME before I really saw him as a daemon. After, though, never. Wonder why that is.

Do you get along with your dæmon, or do you have fights?

Not really? I mean, yeah, we argue a lot about silly things, but it never really has any effect on our relationship other than temporary irritation with each other. For the most part, though, we get along pretty well.

Thank you for the welcomes, A Sky Full of Stars and Valute! <33 ^^
That felted plush is adorable, SolarDæmon, oh my gosh.

Yesterday we went to a fen, and there was a sign outside of it that said, "No Dogs Allowed," and Tae promptly turned into a German shepherd, grinned at me, and trotted onto the path xD he was a German shepherd for most of the walk, and some sort of black and orange striped moth/butterfly on my shoulder occasionally as well.

Hello everyone! I don't actively talk here often, but this question really stood out to me.

I think by means of behavior changing due to sterilization, a common house cat or a dog would be a good example (and probably the only examples as far as my knowledge.) There's always the joke that with un-fixed animals, they'll get increasingly lazy and sad, almost 'depressed' after being fixed, especially if they are a male animal. This all stems from the fact that cats and dogs really do mellow out after the procedure. My cat, who is female, has become a lot less high-strung, and also doesn't experience her 'heat' period, which means no more annoying meowing in hopes of bringing a male cat closer.

The way I've interpreted the question is that they're asking whether your daemon experiences the mellowness, or the more active side. (Although, as is with all generalizations, these behaviors don't always apply to sterilized/unsterilized situations.) As for my answer, Sil is a platinum fox for the majority of the day, so sterilization hasn't had a lot of documented behavior in her species. But she's more on the calm side by nature, so I would say she doesn't exhibit these changes.
