got locked out of tumblr but I’m back and worse than ever
So…what are the chances that Bart was never summoned again?
We saw that records of spirit fatalities are kept, and that they play a large role in determining a magician’s possible roster of servants. These records also seem to cross cultural borders and have persisted across generations. It seems likely to me that Bartimaeus would have been recorded as dying in the glass palace. Granted, there are hints that shamanistic summoning rituals may bypass these conventions; though it seems like those practices have become scarce by the time of the trilogy.
A bit tragic, but also somewhat of a reward.
(Going to reread Solomon for the first time in years to see if there are any insights into summoning procedures that I’ve forgotten)
BARTIMAEUS?!
ON MY DASH????
IN 2025!!!!!!!!!
I have been blessed
BUDDY HERE ON THIS BLOG IT'S BARTIBRAINROT ALL DAY EVERYDAY IT'S LIKE BACKGROUND RADIATION GOING STRONG EVEN WHILE I'M BUSY WITH BLOODBORNE POKÉMON DUNMESHI MALEVOLENT OR WHATEVER ELSE CATCHES MY EYE. THE RISE NEVER STOPS.
Bartimaeus fandom: anyways I read this children's fantasy series like three decades ago or so and since that I reread it twenty times in ten languages. seventy other fandoms and eight world empires have risen and fallen since that day and look where I am. crying in this big puddle of my tears and pure tragedy and silly djinn with funny footnotes. join me.
Love that the Bart Sequence ends with a resident evil boss
super shoddy and incomprehensible draft sketches while I work
The Nouda/Makepeace debacle has inspired me to try some body horror. The way Stroud writes the final few chapters, it seems like Nouda is most likely just a big eldritch mess, but I like to imagine that Makepeace’s skin is still stretched taut over the beast in a grotesque parody of the chipper playwright.
I especially loved how Makepeace’s mouth was noted to have split all the way up the sides; it seemed a fitting deformity for that grinning scamp

Have actually thought how incredibly cool it is than an alternative use for the word "dismiss" in Bartimaeus Sequence is to "let go"?
Because yes, while it also refers to the magic system — "letting the spirit go to the Other Place" — it also really digs deep into a psychological roots of things. When we say we have to "let someone go" we do not mean it literally, we mean it mentally. To let go off our minds. To stop thinking about them. To let them leave their lifes. To let our lifes go on without them.
Therefore, when Nathaniel struggles with "letting Bartimaeus go", we, as the readers, subconsciously take it as a double-meaning, understanding this both a huge physical (he can't let Bartimaeus go to the Other Place and let him heal) and psychological (he needs to cut ties with Bartimaeus, stop clinging to him as a saving rope, the only close person and the memory of his past self, therefore just letting his life to go on without him and he can't) issue for him. He can't let Bartimaeus go, both figuratively and literally.
And I think it's genius.
Nathaniel aged 12:
The final moments
With Nouda bearing down on him, the glass palace crumbling, and the smell of detonations still fresh in the air, did Nathaniel think of the Underwoods? Did he remember his childhood burning away while another demon lunged for him? Did he think of Ms. Underwood dying for the petulance of a boy she loved?
Did he make his sacrifice and see the death he had avoided before?
Only years ago, and yet a lifetime apart.
For all the traumas and internal tortures that Nathanial wrestled with, the death of the Underwoods was rarely mentioned past the first book; it always felt like it was a wound so deep and internalized into ‘Nathanial,’ that Mandrake dared not even think about it even when he troubled himself about Kitty’s assumed death. I like to think that in those final moments he thought of Ms Underwood, and the boy that could have met his end were it not for Bartimaeus.
