every time I see the phrase "old man yaoi" used to describe the Globe Doctor Faustus I die a little more inside. WHEN THEY FILMED THAT PAUL HILTON WAS ABOUT 40 AND ARTHUR DARVILL WAS ABOUT 30, THAT IS NOT OLD MAN YAOI, JUST REGULAR YAOI

(This is kind of a "weird that it's happened twice" thing but that's microfandoms for you)

#i am older than both of them at the time of filming #(i am objectively older than arthur darvill but not paul hilton)#it is definitely a great production at any rate and you should all watch it #doctor faustus #hot faust summer #the old man part is more relevant to goethe than marlowe anyway #whereas faustus' age is kind of unspecified #(i usually think of him as being about 40 -- that is what i write in my fic #which is probably partly paul hilton influence and partly just me putting him in my age bracket)
