Bartimaeus & Nathaniel

I wanted to draw this picture on a tablet, but then I wanted to transfer it to canvas with paints. Now, from the outside, it seems to me a little religious, but in fact it's not at all.

I really like the image of Bartimaeus in the days when he lived under King Solomon and Ptolemy - despite all the evil that the magicians did to him, he still remained himself.

He also saved Nathaniel's soul.

After all, we all understand that if it hadn't been for Bartimaeus, Nathaniel would have died long ago and the callous and cold John Mandrake existed instead. I won't say that I'm 100% satisfied with the result, but I got creative pleasure painting these feathers, shadows on clothes, splashes of rain and emotions on their faces. Aloof, incredibly strong mentally, but at heart a very lonely Nathaniel, whose only friends were silent books - the last time he cried was when Mrs. Underwood died, the only person he loved.

And he was left alone.

Among the greedy, corrupt, vile wizards, there is only a boy who has been attacked by everything at once. This song symbolizes the British government in my head - "a flock of crazed birds." Vultures who pretend to be colleagues, but in fact are just waiting for you to make a mistake. Bartimaeus, on the other hand, is calm. He understands all this. He's seen too much over thousands of years, so I think his help for Nathaniel wasn't entirely imposed by his endless Imprisonment. After all, despite everything that followed, he never revealed John Mandrake's true name to anyone and did no harm.

I'm sure such an inventive genie could have found a loophole.

But he didn't.

He stayed with him until the end. This peace with a hint of truth is what I wanted to show. The way the genie covers the real Nathaniel with his wings from the dank downpour on his soul, from the real demons longing for his death, and calms him down.

Bartimaeus was the last person Nathaniel showed his tears to. Nathaniel was still himself only because of Bartimaeus. And while darkness, bad weather and demons are raging outside, there is silence, tranquility and a starry sky under the powerful wings.

Can I ask you a question? Soulmates aren't... real, are they? Chidi, in all honesty, I don't know. But I don't think so. I knew what you expected to find when you got here. Answers. Also, if I recall from your file, a magic blackboard? One that anticipates your lesson flow. That's the dream. But mostly you wanted answers, the soulmate one in particular. So I used it to torture you... which, again, sorry.

I hope that people don't forget about gaza once a ceasefire is reached. when the bombs stop falling, they will continue to need food, medicine, doctors, and supplies. the survivors will need aid urgently in the immediate aftermath. there are bodies to be counted, rubble to be cleared, fields to be tilled, buildings to be constructed. even as the people of gaza rebuild their lives, the trauma they've endured from this genocide will stay with them for generations. despite this, they will continue their fight for the liberation of all of palestine, as they always have been, and we must not forget them. the people of gaza will not be free until "israel" no longer exists, until all palestinians can live in their country free from subjugation, with equality and dignity. do not ever let the imperialists that funded and armed this genocide continue to spread lies about the palestinian people. do not ever let anyone forget that they tried to cover up and excuse this genocide at every turn. they will try to do it again. you must stand with the people of palestine forever.

green day’s “homecoming” is one of the funniest pop punk songs ever because the lead guitarist spends like ten minutes complaining about how sad and lonely he is and how life is fucked and she left me and where do we go now, like as a society, and like halfway through the drummer cuts in like “jeez what’s that guy’s deal. i’m here to 1. fuck 2. suck and 3. live the rock n roll lifestyle and tbh i’m having the time of my life.” and then it’s straight back to billie joe angst

After the previous post, it’s only a matter of time before someone feels the need to say something silly about what constitutes a wizard, so I figured I’d head this one off at the pass and present this handy guide to differentiating a beach Witch from a beach Wizard.

Since the declaration of the ceasefire agreement the Israeli army committed many massacres in Gaza killing at least 82 civilians and injuring many others.
