you ever think about how bartimaeus will assume nathaniel’s form someday in front of kitty whe’s much older and she’ll realize that he was still a child when he died, and for all the harm he did in the world and all the power he held he was still a kid who never got the chance to really live

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

the year is 2025. the bartimaeus sequence has a successful netflix adaptation. i open the tag on tumblr. ‘can’t believe some of y’all stan faquarl when he LITERALLY slut shames bartimaeus :/.’ i open my inbox to read 6 new messages. all of them say ‘op why do you support slavery’,

faquarl isn’t dead he’s on vacation. he’s drinking a cocktail in the hot tub as we speak i don’t know who told you he was dead

if nathaniel did survive how do you think he and bart would have approached the whole “so you kept me as a literal slave for years on end” thing. would they even have that talk or would bart just be like “ok. city saved. goodbye nat have a nice life don’t call me (kitty you can call me but keep nat locked in the basement like a disobedient housepet for the duration)”

i’m quietly losing it at the post calling nathaniel “this british rat”

after ptolemy and then nathaniel i think if kitty tried the “dismiss you so you can live on while i die” stunt bartimaeus would drag himself back to earth by sheer force of will just so he could kick her ass himself
