#THIS MAN

Things Confirmed By Jonathan Stroud When I Met Him At A Signing

arteims:

• He had an alternate ending where Nathaniel lived but it didn’t feel fitting to the story (as much as it hurts I do agree)
• Bartimaeus does assume Nathaniel’s form in the future sometimes
• He did write bits of what happened to Kitty afterwards but not enough to publish a whole book
• Bartimaeus’ favorite form is Ptolemy
• In the end, Nathaniel is elevated from an anti-hero to a hero
• *this one bROke me* what Bart wanted to say in the very end is that he’s grown to love Nathaniel
• Stroud literally said that they loved each other
• don’t look at me

"Every generation seems to think that civilization is doomed because the kids today have no respect, no discipline, no work ethic, et cetera. We’ve been saying this for at least three thousand years, and yet somehow we’ve managed to survive as a species."

— Rick Riordan (via helikeschuckie)
