happy thought: stroud said visiting the other place meant that kitty would likely live longer than an ordinary human. she might get to be 100

sad thought: how is bart going to react to the death of someone he had not 2, not 5, but 80 years with

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’,

[zisurru]

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”

[zisurru]

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
