I can understand the "Bartimaeus novels are not made for romantic additions and therefore I do not ship anyone since the books are mosly focusing on platonic love and deeper themes of opression/slavery/revolution" idea and sometimes I, in fact, encourage it! But I also absolutely love the idea of "the ships inside the Bartimaeus fandom are just another way of exploring character's dynamic inside the already mentioned themes via highlighting their relevance and can be a fabulous area of study for different dynamics inside the series without denying or ignoring the deep political messages and intergral platonic nature of the books" and I think this is very precious to me.
#YES this includes all ships#even the ones I personally may not like#even the ones you personally may not like#I just love this fandom's healthy attitude to both shipping and the darker themes of the book#bartimaeus#bartimaeus sequence#bartimaeustrilogy#the bartimaeus trilogy#bartimaeus trilogy#can be used to#bartnat#or#khammet#but generally is for every ship and/or platonic dynamic out there!#I am not making this post as in to start an argument btw!#quite the contrary#more like little daily Bartseq fandom affirmation
