“there are many universes and many earths, parallel to each other. world's like yours were people's souls live inside their bodies and world's like mine where they walk beside us as animal spirits, we call daemons.”
this was very much of the era with movies like stardust**** and inkheart****, which i will always love. the art deco and nouveau aesthetics i loved!! the only hindering factor i think would be that they didn’t just go rated r to get all the christian parents of the time off its back.
