I RATHER THINK HE KNEW ANYWAY

finished my ptolemy's gate reread im inconsolable i need to lie down for 84 years

"i rather think he knew anyway" 6 words that will strip the skin from my bones under any circumstance

the first thing bartimaeus ever tells us about ptolemy, before he mentions his name or says anything about him, is that he was “someone i had loved”. think about that

Bartimaeus was right, I do not know how I can stand being encased in a body every day of my life.

I love how Jonathan Stroud woke up one day and asked himself “hey, what if Harry Potter is evil” and started writing Bartimaeus Trilogy

*waving Bartimaeus trilogy at you* Hey kid you wanna read something really fucked up

It's interesting that whenever Bartimaeus gets REALLY mad, we only see it from someone else's point of view

i actually don't want the bart trilogy to become popular bc then i would have to lose years off my life reading ice ice cold takes about it. however i think everyone should read them

bartimaeus’s confrontation with kitty over his form when she first summons him is literally just “you may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like”

hi literally caNNOT stop thinking about this. modern ptolemy!!!!!!!

anyway WHERE is my book of nothing but slice-of-life stories where kitty is in her 40s and retired and she and bart just sit in the sun and tend the garden and occasionally have a misadventure. why do you keep this from me, jonathan
