The Hanged Man

Ptolemy gave me a small salute, then his head fell back gently against the wall… All light around me vanished, my consciousness departed; the Other Place pulled me away. Furiously, against my will, I accepted Ptolemy's last gift.

Do you think Nathaniel ever remembered that time Bartimaeus had to drive him to Amanda Cathcart's mansion and was like "...wait a minute. How much experience does Bartimaeus even have behind the wheel?" or did he just never question that a djinni would know how to drive despite the fact that most magicians don't even own a car

I’m sure it’s on purpose but a little thing that I think really humanizes the spirits is the way they call the Other Place home? There’s something so different between saying they want to go back to the Other Place and saying they want to go back home.

I think it’s especially obvious in Ptolemy’s Gate when Bart has been on earth too long, he says he’s tired and wants to go home and its just like GUYS. 🥺 LET HIM GO HOME 🥺 HE JUST WANTS TO GO HOME 🥺🥺🥺

And just how shocked and horrified he is over the other spirits burning their way back to the Other Place when he wants to know why any of them wouldn’t want to go back home and it just has me 🥺🥺🥺

Yet another heartbreaking passage brought to you by Mr Stroud

I'm putting this on my blog so people can find it in the future because I just realized the Bartiforums are no longer a thing, and sadly none of the posts that got picked up by the Wayback Machine are actually archived properly.

I knew that we celebrated Nathaniel's birthday on November 26th, but I couldn't find out why. I knew we knew it was in November because of the books, but Stroud didn't give us an exact date.

Except we did finally squeeze one out of him! He used to answer questions occasionally on the Bartiforums, and gave us November 26th as Nathaniel's birthday. Despite best efforts, we don't have birthdays for the Lockwood & Co. trio, or for Kitty for that matter, but at least we can celebrate Nat's!

#bartseq #bartimaeus sequence #bartimaeus trilogy #the bartimaeus trilogy #the bartimaeus sequence #nathaniel #i need to do a reread so its possible we know what season kitty's birthday is in at least #and i guess we know the year bart is first summoned LOL #anyway thanks to my japanese speaking friend who had the idea to search for it in japanese! #some fans discussed it and linked to the forums even though the links are dead now

Alright @shadowy-dumbo-octopus, let's try this:

I can't really think of one particular character who fulfills the Blorbo criteria but there is a cast of characters that's rotating in the back of my mind at all times. We all know them, we were all surprised by their existence; the werewolves!

Yes, I know there are named characters who are outright stated or heavily implied to be werewolves but it's not really them that I'm interested in. It's not even really the fact that they're the police and what kind of real life commentary that is.

What I can't stop trying to wrap my head around is how werewolves as a species fits into the wider world and history of the BS worldbuilding.

Does the average citizen know that they exist? Are they discriminated against (were they? There have to be cultural differences in how they're treated right?) They seem to be in the minority but have they always been? Everywhere? Are there countries made only of werewolves? Tribes? They have to come from /somewhere/ logically but where? How do they reproduce? Bites? Sex? Both?? They're clearly integrated in London and have been for long enough that they can pass as Londoners but?? Are there werewolf citizens?? Do they have their own culture? Why are they more resistant against magic? My dark imagination wants to go down the selective breeding route that would end up putting them somewhere on the second-class citizen spectrum but there's literally nothing there to support that; just seems like something magicians might come up with in the search for obedient, powerful servants that are more easily controllable than spirits.

Also: how many more magical species exist in that world? We know of the spirits, werewolves, the Rock (that huge bird). Bart takes the shape of a phoenix at something point, does that mean they exist(ed)? The Golem's straight up made with different kind of magic (and what was that about).

I guess, the Blorbo was Stroud's implied worldbuilding all along

Anyway, thoughts and feelings?

Do you also think that this Tiktok sound from Lana Del Rey's "Choose your last words, this is the last time you and I, we were born to die" is perfect for Bartimaeus and Nathaniel's last scene?

And the sound "you're in the wind, I'm in the water - nobody's son, nobody's daughter" is perfect for Nathaniel and Kitty, because they were both abandoned by their parents????

Fun fact, Faquarl is five years older than Bartimaeus and this is apparently something they felt the need to work out at some point

So now I'm just imagining them doing this:

Faquarl: "You know, Bartimaeus, when I was your age--"

Bartimaeus: "Damnit Faquarl, that was five years ago"
