'I am your master! How dare you treat me like some piece of garbage?!'

'Oh please, don't offend me like that. I'm way more careful with garbage'.

I had so much fun designing Bart's gargoylesona

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.

It only took almost a year of therapy to get my head out of my rear and write, but ladies, gents and gentlefolk in general, she's done it. She's written the first draft of a Bart chapter that should be 3k words long but is nearing 5k because that djinni cannot shut up.

Please hold the applause for this gigantic achievement. I still need to write the second chapter and edit all this.

(It's not for TLA yet, in case you were wondering.)

I'm on PG for my re-read of the Bartimaeus trilogy and I'm going to end it all!!!! I'm ending it all ARAGAHHAHSJSJD IM ENDING IT ALL. AND THE WORLD ALONG WITH ME. I GOT TO THE MS. LUTYENS SCENE. AND I CRIED. AGAIN. This is the third time I read that scene I KNOW what's coming but I can't I can't I can't I can't. I could talk for HOURS about that scene I could talk for HOURS. There is so so SO much about Nathaniel's character in that singular scene. Stroud put so much in there. I could write an entire essay on Nathaniel Underwood with that single scene alone. It makes me so fucking SAD. FUCK. FUCK. IM SO SAD FOR HIM 😭😞😞😞😞😞 IM SO SAD FOR HIM. HE WAS JUST A KID 💔💔💔💔💔 HE'S STILL JUST A *KID* IM WLKWJWJD. I always, always physically cry with this scene it always gets me always always ALWAYS. This scene makes me fall apart and cry more then the death scene like I really can't. I'm. God. God. I'm so distraught.

This is just a wig fitting and there is still a lot of work to do. A lot. But I reread the book and saw the art of pompomnium. cosplay in progress

Even as a non shipper I gotta appreciate the endless comedic potential of these two's relationship

Also sorry for the Benedict Cumberbatch jumpscare, I haven't seen this movie but did hear this role was kinda offensive. I'm not supporting bad representation but this was the image that popped up in my head when I thought of "something else" that could actually be funny. Feel free to roast me on that

Post PG AU where they’re stuck together after the fight.

I call it “the Greedling Situation” because that’s basically how I picture them.

The gist is that a moment before Nathaniel finished the release, Bartimaeus released the staff, triggering the explosion. Then when it tore through Nathaniel’s body he repieced it together, shaping the hurt tissues with his essence, effectively saving Nathaniel’s life but also sticking them together more severely.

Because Bartimaeus isn’t fully protected inside Nat’s body but is forming some of it outwards, silver and iron do have an effect. They also use a cane because I’m NOT making a post-PG AU where Nathaniel just walks it off, sue me. CHRONIC PAIN FOR THESE BITCHESSSSSS

Another important note is that Bartimaeus isn’t truely bound to Nathaniel here- he can change shape or leave at any time. Doing so would very much kill Nat though

Some doodles of it too. Bart has gotten control over makeup and accessorising because Nat wouldn’t budge on the clothes.

It’s all very much still up in the air and I’m still thinking. Might use it as a baseline for the bartprompts week works.
