Nathaniel: I left instructions for everyone while I'm gone

Bartimaeus: Mine just says "BARTIMAEUS NO"

Nathaniel: I want you to apply it to every possible situation

Love how all of Jonathan Stroud’s series end with the oppressive, unjust government literally getting blown up by people who recognize that it’s wrong :)

"a shapeshiting character who shapeshifts so often they start forgetting what their true face looks like" is wonderful but "the shapeshiting character who never had a true face and their image is fully formed from collection of faces they loved" is worth ten poetic books. This post is about Bartimaeus of Uruk.

for no reason in particular i think greedling fans need to check out the bartimaeus trilogy by jonathan stroud if they haven't already. there's corrupt government. the resident nonhuman with an ego the size of the sun gets attached but will he tell you that? no. the human is more of an ass than ling is but also ironically does have a position of authority. one or both of them have questionable senses of fashion depending on which of the two idiots you ask. there are certain events in book 3 i am legally not able to disclose because spoilers. (but. just saying. if you like episode 28/chapter 54 onward, there may be plot events for you!)

also if you like desert shenanigans in fma. there is SO much fucking desert in the prequel. also there's a girl who can kick your ass in the main series. and the human and nonhuman's asses. and my ass, too, probably, if i gave her the shot. and i'd probably deserve it.

just. if you need a good book series that will change you fundamentally as a person, while also making you relive the epic highs and lows of greedling and fma/fmab, i am absolutely begging you to check out the bartimaeus trilogy. i know of at least three people counting me that have gone feral over greedling AND bartimaeus and nathaniel.
