I'M HERE AGAIN TO BOTHER YOU

may I have. Some songs. And lyrics. You'd like to associate with my son thank you (no need to reply to this it's fine I just love overanalyzing over lyrics)

I LOVE ANALYZING LYRICS TOO POOKIE, BOTHER ME ANYTIME, I need a break from reading a textbook. On US politics. And it’s an online textbook so I can’t feel the paper and engage myself. My brain is melting

In my mind, THE Faust song would be “I’m Your Man” by Mitski. I said it in my last Faust post and I’ll say it again *grabs and shakes you* DOG SYMBOLISM. Faust, when he finds reason to invest himself in somebody, can’t do such a thing in small measure. He puts his entire being into it to the point where he risks destroying himself. He sees Will as his salvation; by being the kind of person for Will that he could’ve used long ago, he can save him, and by this logic, save himself. This comes across perfectly in those opening lines: “You’re an angel, I’m a dog / Or you’re a dog and I’m your man / You believe me like a God / I betray you like I am.”

And in the Hannibal verse for him, if Will marries Molly as per the canon in S3, Faust feels abandoned not only by Hannibal post-S2, but now Will, too. And yet he can’t detach himself from those relationships. He can’t make himself forget. (Fic spinoff plan go brrrrr) Look me in the eyes and tell me this isn’t that:

My Mitski propaganda is going strong with our son

The second song I’m picking for lyrical relevance to Faust’s character is “The Man Who Sold the World” originally written and performed by David Bowie, though my preferred version is the Nirvana cover—either works, however. This song is just the essence of Faust and works for any verse, Hannibal verse included, of course. The lyrics make me think of his relationship with the man who taught him to hunt in his time of need, then turned on Faust, leading Faust to kill and cannibalize him, thus symbolically turning him into the hunter:

“We passed upon the stair / We spoke of was and when / Although I wasn't there / He said I was his friend

Which came as some surprise / I spoke into his eyes / ‘I thought you died alone / A long, long time ago’

‘Oh no, not me / I never lost control / You're face to face / With the man who sold the world.’”

This first half of the song, to me, is the beginning of their arrangement and leading up to the end, in which Faust consumes the hunter and feeds him to his group, which, again, symbolically represents his own Becoming (think Matthew in S2 saying “I’ll be the Chesapeake Ripper now” and Hannibal’s reply of “You’ll have to eat me”):

“I laughed and shook his hand / And made my way back home / I searched for form and land / For years and years, I roamed

I gazed a gazeless stare / At all the millions here / We must have died alone / A long, long time ago

Who knows? Not me / We never lost control / You're face to face / With the man who sold the world (x2)”

NEXT UP (yes I’m still blabbing I really hate that textbook) “Personal Jesus” by Depeche Mode. Once again, it’s a song that I feel describes Faust’s relationship with Will and Hannibal very well, and I think the lyrics could be taken either way. Faust wants to be Will’s savior, yet he ALSO views Will as his own savior. With Hannibal, I’d imagine he feels saved in some sense by Hannibal’s understanding and acceptance of the darker parts of him:

“Reach out, touch faith / Your own personal Jesus / Someone to hear your prayers / Someone who cares / Your own personal Jesus / Someone to hear your prayers / Someone who's there”

This song is the side of Faust with the good old savior complex.

The last song I’m going to analyze by lyrics is “The Yawning Grave” by Lord Huron and then I’ll just drop a few Faust songs that just seem fitting to me :D

“The Yawning Grave” describes through its lyrics and eerie tone what can only be described as a supernatural situation, as well as a general message of “you shouldn’t meddle with things you cannot understand” WHICH IS VERY FAUST.

“I know the rain like the clouds know the sky / I speak to birds and tell them where to fly / I sing the songs that you hear on the breeze / I write the names of the rocks and the trees

Oh, you fool, there are rules I am coming for you / (You can run but you can’t escape) / Darkness brings evil things, oh, the reckoning begins / (You have opened the yawning grave)

I tried to warn you when you were a child / I told you not to get lost in the wild / I sent omens and all kinds of signs / I taught you melodies, poems, and rhymes”

Once again, this feels reminiscent of Faust’s dynamic with the hunter, and it represents his own hunger for knowledge and how dangerous it is.

For some extra general Faust songs, No Return by Anna Waronker, Eat Your Young by Hozier, and Everybody Wants to Rule the World (original version or Lorde version but Lorde pops off with the creepy vocals). Ok I disappear into the void of education now

[bluemoonscape]

Same brain 👊 It would be awesome if you ended up painting these!! I feel like for Faust, either The Moon or The Chariot fits him the most… I feel like The Chariot is a better fit for him in the context of his lore with the hunter and the strays, but The Moon feels more fitting for what he’s become since he was a younger man, if that makes sense? He hasn’t lost his discipline, courage, arrogance or wanderlust, but I feel his story becomes much more defined by him being stuck in his own head with those fears and insecurities outlined in The Moon. There’s a quiet sense of foreboding about him, like he took something with him from the liminal space and it follows him like a shadow, deformed and rough around the edges, unmatched to his actual figure. I think either card could work for him, really—both are rich in symbolism and match up to different times in his tumultuous life.

Can’t wait to see what you make of this whenever you may get around to drawing it up!

VVVVV SO YOU KNOW THOSE TAROT CARD THINGYS??? Like, there’s The Fool, The Empress, The Hanged Man, etc. THESE ONES. I’m curious, which card you think represents Faust? On that note, whichever you think it is could make an interesting Faust doodle!!

HAHAHA I ACTUALLY WANTED TO PLAN THESE ALREADY. Before the Art Nouveau pieces I'm planning for Faust, Will and Hannibal! But I ended up doing those first </3

I think Faust would definitely could be The Chariot, or the Tower or the Moon!!! I'm still actually unsure which would fit the man most 😭 what do you think??? I'd love to talk about it! And tbh I doubt I can leave these as just doodles, especially tarot cards. I've defined a few for other characters and I always go ham with them HAHA. Thank you for the ask!!!!

Word of the Week: Greatness

Word of the Week: Greatness

One of my favorite stories, although it’s probably apocryphal, is about a group of tourists visiting a picturesque village in Europe. As they toured, admiring the beauty, the cathedral and the architecture of this quaint 13th century village, one tourist spotted an old man sitting on a bench. In a rather patronizing way, he asked, “Were any great men born in this village?” (more…)

[nerdygaymormon]

Why don't you agree with The Family: A Proclamation to the World? You belong to this church and all the leaders say this is what we should believe. Just because it's inconvenient since you're gay doesn't mean you should oppose it.

The Family Proclamation was approved by The First Presidency and the Quorum of 12 Apostles in 1995. There are some wonderful teachings in that document and it’s a good summary of the church’s positions.

However, these same men have said that homosexuality doesn’t exist and that homosexuals are an enemy to the church. So forgive me for wondering if they really have an understanding of the topic or have inquired of the Lord if the church’s position is correct or needs to change.

The 8th article of faith teaches that scripture is imperfect. I don’t believe every word in the Bible or Book of Mormon is perfect. The Bible shows many changes in doctrines & practices, as does LDS Church history. That allows me to believe there can be more shifts on LGBT topics by church leaders.

This is not an exhaustive list, but it shows the attitude of each of the 15 men

Gordon B. Hinckley - Most of his public statements affirmed that homosexual acts are sinful, but he always added that these are good people and we love “so-called gays and lesbians.” He announced the end of the church’s practice of encouraging gay men to marry a woman. His approach was that gay people have a problem and the church wants to help them solve it.

Thomas S. Monson - There are few comments directly attributed to him on LGBT topics, usually his positions are announced as being from the First Presidency.

His presidency began with the effort to pass Prop 8 in California. It also included the announcement that the church would break with the Boy Scouts after it decided to allow gay scout leaders. His time as president ended with the November 2015 policy of exclusion which banned the children of gay couples and elevated those gay couples to being “apostate.”

James E. Faust

Sept 1995 - Denied that there are any biological or “inherited” components of homosexuality and the idea of inborn homosexual orientation is a false belief. If there was an inherited or inborn aspect to homosexuality it would “frustrate the whole plan of mortal happiness” and deny “the opportunity to change.”

Boyd K. Packer

October 1976 – Gave the sermon “To Young Men Only” in which he commended a missionary who “floored” his companion for being gay. Also said it’s a “malicious and destructive lie” that “some are born with an attraction to their own kind.”

March 1978 – At a BYU devotional titled “To the One”, Elder Packer says that homosexuality has its roots in selfishness and said that gay feelings could be “cured” with “unselfish thoughts, with unselfish acts.”

October 1990 – Using scriptures to prove that homosexual impulses are inborn, or cannot be overcome, is dangerous because the same logic can justify “incest or the molesting of littlechildren.”

April 1992 – Stated that people who engage in same-sex pairings degrade themselves below animals, because animals don’t mate with other animals of the same sex

May 1993 – Elder Packer identifies those in the gay & lesbian or feminist movements and scholars/intellectuals as enemies to the church. He also says men who identify as homosexual have “gender disorientation.”

October 2000 – Homosexuality begins as an “innocent curiosity” which leads to addiction. Says that God did not create this unnatural desire but God can cure it

October 2010 – Taught that God would not give people inborn tendencies towards the impure and unnatural and these can be overcome with faith

L. Tom Perry

February 2014 – gay young men need association with manly things & strong vigorous men. He does not believe that people are born with same-sex attractions. People seeking to renew their temple recommends shouldn’t support same-sex marriage. Same-sex couples who express any physical affection during church meetings should be reprimanded in private. Allowing the evil of same-sex marriage to grow would destroy the basic family unit.

April 2015 – said that the church opposes counterfeit and alternative lifestyles

David B Haight - I’m actually not aware of anything he said or wrote on LGBT topics

Neal A. Maxwell

October 1980 – Hoped one day the word “gay” would be rescued (in other words, wouldn’t be associated with homosexuality)

He wrote that homosexuality is predatory

Russell M. Nelson

April 2006 – Called for the US legislators to pass a constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage

August 2009 – Children need to be protected from same-sex marriages, and if it becomes legal, it would harm society and limit the rights of people who uphold traditional marriage and family.

Dallin H. Oaks

January 1975 – As president of BYU directed a purge to expel homosexual students. All male drama & ballet students were pulled from class and interrogated in the halls for the names of any Gays they knew.

August 1984 – Recommended the church not oppose job discrimination laws protecting homosexuals as long as there’s exceptions for “employment and activities that provide teaching, association and role models for young people. This would include school teachers (especially at the elementary and second-ary levels), and youth leaders and counselors (such as scout masters, coaches, etc.).”

October 1995 – “erotic feelings toward a person of the same sex are irregular.”

April 2006 – The church no longer endorses “aversion therapies” and the church doesn’t accept responsibility for abuses suffered by individuals who experienced those therapies. He added that a mixed-orientation marriage would be appropriate for gay members. He also said if he had a gay child who came to visit with their partner, he’d tell them “don’t expect to stay overnight. Don’t expect to be a lengthy house guest. Don’t expect us to take you out and introduce you to our friends, or to deal with you in a public situation that would imply our approval of your ‘partnership.’”

October 2006 – In regards to same sex attraction, he said that change is possible and to not focus on the causes of same-gender attraction.

2011 – “news media cover up anything involving homosexuals when it would work to the disadvantage of the homosexual agenda.”

August 2017 – Said to not identify yourself with labels of sexual orientation.

September 2017 – He lamented the increase in public acceptance of same-sex marriage and that church members should choose God & the church’s way

M. Russell Ballard

October 2008 – Urged all California members to donate 4 hours per week, and set aside Saturdays from 9am to 2pm to participate in assignments to pass Prop 8 which would ban same-sex marriage.

Joseph B. Wirthlin

October 1994 – called homosexual behavior “abnormal”

Richard G. Scott

October 1994 – Said that “stimulation can lead to acts of homosexuality” (aka, masturbation) (He was quoting former president Spencer W. Kimball)

April 1995 – Homosexual acts are deviant

Robert D. Hales

November 1976 – Grouped being homosexual with adultery & fornication.

Jeffrey R. Holland

March 2006 – gay or lesbian inclinations “will not be a post-mortal condition.” He also uses the phrases “struggling with gender identity” and “gender confusion” as synonyms for homosexuality

Henry B. Eyring

November 2014 – “We want our voice to be heard against all of the counterfeit and alternative lifestyles that try to replace the family organization.”

GENTLY GRABS YOU (endearing)

HEADCANONS FOR FAUST AND SOME OF THE CAST PLEASEE (I'm curious what you think he's like with the forensic team, Alana, or Freddie Lounds- idk if i told you ideas i had for Jack / Chilton but i wanna hear from YOUUUU)

FAUST HEADCANONSSS some of which I’m leeching off of ideas you’ve mentioned:

-So I headcanon this for Will too and I think it makes a lot of sense for Faust: I read him as demisexual. I feel like he specifically becomes attracted to Will and Hannibal because of their emotional connections—it doesn’t read as being influenced by physical attraction.

-I’m agreeing with you so hard that the name given to him at birth was Fawn like THE HUNTER AND THE FAWN SYMBOLISM GOES HARD

-He sees Abigail and Chiyoh as sister figures of a sort. Losing Abigail was extremely difficult for him.

-He doesn’t feel insecure about his scars until Hannibal talks about the fact that his wrist scars were a consequence of love. At this point, Faust’s apathy towards his scars starts to deteriorate.

-Sometimes he psyches himself out when he’s alone and thinks he’s back in that place. It’s a big part of why he started going to therapy with Hannibal.

-His near-constant expression since he was little appears very serious and deep in thought. He spends a lot of time in his head and has for as long as he can remember.

-A funnier headcanon based on something I’ve experienced: He once cut his hair short when he was a kid, then immediately regretted it because “oh my god I look like a lesbian.” He’s never not had long hair since.

-He has a big encyclopedia on his shelf about the language of flowers.

-I don’t know much about Faust as a child but I can’t help feeling like it would make a lot of sense if he was very sheltered and isolated as a child? That could’ve spurred his irrepressible curiosity.

As for his relationships with the aforementioned characters, here’s my guesses on how their interactions would go:

-Faust likes Alana in some respects. He appreciates her strong personality and her understanding of the mind. Her inclination towards Will being based on “professional curiosity” however, rubs him the wrong way and makes him a little more cautious about what he says and does around her.

-Jimmy and Brian are a little overbearing, and Faust sometimes feels like he’s on the outside of the forensic team, but he sneaks a joke in every now and then while they work together and they seem to like him for it. Beverly is more his pace and puts more of an effort into keeping him in the loop than the other two (mostly because they’re oblivious). Shouts out to her for inadvertently bringing Faust and Will together in Chapter 1 of the fic, thanks Beverly very cool

-OK SO HEAR ME OUT: FAUST DOES ACTUALLY HAVE A FUNDAMENTAL UNDERSTANDING OF FREDDIE? She craves knowledge. She seeks to understand and make others understand. Her arrogance and curiosity is directly aligned with Faust’s own. They see themselves in one another and are suspicious of one another because of it because “oh no it’s the worst version of me”

-Feeling like Faust would be chronically pissed off at Jack. He knows Will can handle himself with Jack, but does that mean he should have to? No.

-As for my man Chilton, Faust isn’t scared of him, but he is scared of what he represents to him: Isolation and captivity. In Season 2, when Chilton starts being more of a Will-is-innocent believer, I can see them working together in some capacity, though.

LMK WHAT YOU WERE THINKING FOR JACK AND CHILTON, this was so fun to think about!!

[bluemoonscape]

im sick but my brain had idea to do doodle/art of Faust as Alice like Alice in wonderland stuff??? What do you think about Hannibal being the Cheshire Cat? Idk what to put Will as NGL. If you have idea I'd love it (and if you have any for the cast feel free to suggest to I wanna make sticker page)

Oh my gosh, I’m so sorry you’re sick!!! :( I hope you feel better shortly, make sure to drink lots of water and REST REST REST. PLEASE.

Faust as Alice in AIWL is such an incredible idea, I’m in love with this… the Cheshire Cat is perfect for Hannibal, I think. He has the evil grin for it. As for Will, I’m between the White Rabbit and the Mad Hatter. The White Rabbit would match Hannibal being assigned an animal role, and additionally, the rabbit is what leads Alice into Wonderland in the first place, which reminds me of Will and Faust since Will opened up his world; and for the Mad Hatter, he’s both a friend to Alice and is very confusing and difficult to understand, displaying erratic behaviors and also having troublesome encounters with authority like Will—plus, you can’t tell me Will wouldn’t look cool as hell with a Mad Hatter design.

For some other characters, Jimmy and Brian as Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum is a no-brainer 💀 Abigail as the White Queen would be neat, the design would be so pretty. Jack as the Red King with more of the Red Queen’s authoritarian nature makes sense to me. FREDDIE AS THE RED QUEEN COULD POP OFF?? Maybe Chilton as the Knave of Hearts since being accused of things is his entire existence.

Those are just some ideas to hopefully get the brain juices flowing once you feel like drawing! Thank you for this ask, a sticker page of this would be so *violent vibrating* yOU KNOW??

how are we feeling today faust apologists

BLUEEEEEEEE

assign Faust an animal or two pls. Or any object/item/insect etc with meaning that would fit I need ideas for next painting of my son (we can share custody if you'd like)

VORP. V. VORPY. THE VORPLER (I’m sorry)

I’ve gotten so attached to the symbolism of Faust as a dog, so that’s definitely my first pick, but if you’re looking for something new, maybe a fox? It’s the first thing I thought of after a dog. Foxes are clever, cunning, and have sharp survival instincts. They aren’t usually violent but have the capacity and will attack if provoked. My brain has been hung up on a recent study that foxes are attempting to become domesticated; they see how good dogs and cats have it and attempt to integrate themselves into the same lifestyle under the care of humans. Something something Faust trying to integrate himself in Will’s life from a position of being outside looking in. …okay, plus, deep symbolism aside, Faust and Will The Fox and the Hound parallels (you know, the movie that ruined everyone’s life)

SOOO I ALSO WANT TO ASSIGN AN OBJECT AND INSECT BECAUSE I CAN’T HELP MYSELF, so here we go. An object to represent Faust would be… how about a broken clock? An old one covered in dust with hands that don’t turn anymore. I say this because of his more supernatural experiences that warped his perception of time, as well as how well clock symbolism fits into the Hannibal verse with the encephalitis clock and whatnot. Will losing time, Faust trying to be a savior for him but he can’t even tell the time himself.

An insect to represent Faust would be a praying mantis. The praying mantis represents piety and prayer, which reminds me of Faust and his devotion to others he deems worthy. The praying mantis was also believed by ancient Greeks and Egyptians to be a prophetic creature who could predict the future. Are you seeing my vision. Because. Faust essentially had followers of a sort. AND the praying mantis is known to be a cannibalistic insect that is more likely to cannibalize under the stressful conditions of captivity. DO YOU SEE IT V

Thank you for coming to my ted talk, I WOULD LOVE TO SHARE CUSTODY. SORRY FOR KIDNAPPING HIM THAT ONE TIME I DID IT OUT OF LOVE 😣🤧 DON’T CALL THE LAWYERS

[bluemoonscape]

blue hello hru today I need help brainstorming names fr the Faust fanclub™ hashtag. I need your wisdom o bluemoonscape©

YK IT’S BEEN A ROUGH ONE BUT WE BALL, I’M ABOUT TO SLEEP AND HOPEFULLY HAVE NO THOUGHTS FOR 8+ HOURS. Hope you have an excellent day today :D <3

THE FAUST FAN CLUB!! Okay, so yeah, you know, looking back, the Faust Sluts lacks a certain degree of professionalism—and we’re all professionals in this house clearly as my cut off post reading “I LOVE ANAL” suggests

Ok hear me out:

-The Faust Friends sounds like some Mickey Mouse Clubhouse shit and for this reason I’m putting it here

-The Faustlers sounds like a horrible sports team spinoff of Hustlers and for this reason I’m also putting it here

-The. Fffff. Faust Fam. The Faust Folk. The. Uhhh. Followers of Faust. We follow his agenda. Oh, the Faust Agenda, gotta add that. I really want to add a g word to the end of the Faust Agenda name so I can make a funny acronym but I’m at a loss of g words in this context…

Anyway *passes over this list of absolute bullshit* I have a smooth brain that produces lots of good content like this. Like and subscribe. I need to sleep for 24 hours

50 Happy Thanksgiving Quotes for Intense Gratitude

Our latest collection of happy Thanksgiving quotes on Everyday Power Blog.

Thanksgiving day is one of the most cherished holidays because it’s the one day we gather with friends and family to reflect on what we are grateful for. It is a day to spend quality time with our loved ones, count our blessings, and eat a delicious meal.

Held on the fourth Thursday in November, the holiday originated as a harvest festival celebrated by the Pilgrims in 1621 after a successful growing season. It has been celebrated nationally on and off since 1789, when George Washington declared Thursday, November 26, a Thanksgiving holiday.

Its celebration was intermittent until 1863 when it became a federal holiday after President Abraham Lincoln made Thanksgiving an official holiday to be celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November every year.

YOU'VE GOT IT RIGHT, FAUST IS CANONLY DEMI. You've got his other traits down quite nicely I will wail /pos

(Putting all the rambles under read more for mobile users convenience so they don't have to suffer)

As for his name, I don't think he has any negative feelings with his old name (I'm thinking Fawn but I'm still deciding - it would be so so so good for symbolism and stuff tho!!!) but it simply makes him feel weak. He wanted to be strong, and the name Faust still has that similar sounding pronunciation (Faw-nn & Fau-st) so it is still him, but stronger?? That was my idea at least. And I thought it'd be so cute if he allows only selected few to be able to also call him by his old name, because he feels safe (emotionally and physically) around them. Cuz Fawn makes him feel weak- so only those he really trusts get to see him 'weak' in a way, to call him and know the vulnerable side of him ya know??? Am I making sense I'm rambling LMAO

As per Abigail and Chiyoh- YESSS OH MY GOD. I think Faust would be closer to Abigail than Will, too. I feel like Chiyoh would almost be like, older sister kinda figure to him while Abigail reflects him when he was younger/around her age so that would meant she'd be his younger sister 🤔

I leave Faust's childhood quite vague, because he feels so disconnected from it after going through hell and back he literally sometimes forget he used to be a child too(I'm not sorry for traumatizing him). But I feel like he doesn't get along with most kids, especially with those eyes of his- they tend to drive others his age away, too wise for his years and too unpredictable??

His relationship with Freddie would be quite rocky just because how she treats Will- but let's be fair I think Faust might have acted similarly if he wasn't attached to the profiler as he was + was told/spoken like that to.

Chronically pissed of at Jack? PERHAPS.. but he also respects the guy a lot, and since his father and Jack are old friends, he'd be like, some of the first choices his father would make into Faust's godfather?? I feel like there's just that banter energy™ between them, a little bond. Doesn't make him any less grumpy tho, and I feel like it's gonna be along the lines of "Oh you're in trouble young man" "JACK, I swear to god if you snitch on me-" "I am telling your dad" "JACK ". I think Faust would be there for him too sometimes, despite going through shit himself, when Jack is just weeping over his wife.

CHILTON. THE SILLY. the silliest. Ohhh i love that man in a way like. Cuteness aggression kinda thing? I want to squeak the living soul out of the man. I think Faust is rather annoyed by him but I haven't thought toooooo much into it yet 🤔 since Faust himself is quite an 'enigma' I think he would want to interview the man or have him behind bars too??? I likeeeee to ponder about scenes in the court in SS2... Cuz by then it'd be so evident Faust is a Will is Innocent believer and tries really hard to help his case, try to find evidences etc. and well, with their history together and what a loyal dog he is- I think Faust could also be suspected as an accomplice????? Doesn't help that he has papers that diagnosed him as schizophrenic which is also quite a misunderstood mental disorder, they could be looking to drag him down too. That would also make it like - make people less likely to trust ANYTHING Faust say in SS2? (At least before Will is proved to be innocent) But I think after that shenanigans Faust is gonna be more closed off than ever with everyone else, especially losing Bev. That'd take a big toll on him, too.

I HOPE THESE KINDA COVERS STUFF. I'm SOOO excited to talk more about this lmao so giddy

GENTLY GRABS YOU (endearing)

HEADCANONS FOR FAUST AND SOME OF THE CAST PLEASEE (I'm curious what you think he's like with the forensic team, Alana, or Freddie Lounds- idk if i told you ideas i had for Jack / Chilton but i wanna hear from YOUUUU)

FAUST HEADCANONSSS some of which I’m leeching off of ideas you’ve mentioned:

-So I headcanon this for Will too and I think it makes a lot of sense for Faust: I read him as demisexual. I feel like he specifically becomes attracted to Will and Hannibal because of their emotional connections—it doesn’t read as being influenced by physical attraction.

-I’m agreeing with you so hard that the name given to him at birth was Fawn like THE HUNTER AND THE FAWN SYMBOLISM GOES HARD

-He sees Abigail and Chiyoh as sister figures of a sort. Losing Abigail was extremely difficult for him.

-He doesn’t feel insecure about his scars until Hannibal talks about the fact that his wrist scars were a consequence of love. At this point, Faust’s apathy towards his scars starts to deteriorate.

-Sometimes he psyches himself out when he’s alone and thinks he’s back in that place. It’s a big part of why he started going to therapy with Hannibal.

-His near-constant expression since he was little appears very serious and deep in thought. He spends a lot of time in his head and has for as long as he can remember.

-A funnier headcanon based on something I’ve experienced: He once cut his hair short when he was a kid, then immediately regretted it because “oh my god I look like a lesbian.” He’s never not had long hair since.

-He has a big encyclopedia on his shelf about the language of flowers.

-I don’t know much about Faust as a child but I can’t help feeling like it would make a lot of sense if he was very sheltered and isolated as a child? That could’ve spurred his irrepressible curiosity.

As for his relationships with the aforementioned characters, here’s my guesses on how their interactions would go:

-Faust likes Alana in some respects. He appreciates her strong personality and her understanding of the mind. Her inclination towards Will being based on “professional curiosity” however, rubs him the wrong way and makes him a little more cautious about what he says and does around her.

-Jimmy and Brian are a little overbearing, and Faust sometimes feels like he’s on the outside of the forensic team, but he sneaks a joke in every now and then while they work together and they seem to like him for it. Beverly is more his pace and puts more of an effort into keeping him in the loop than the other two (mostly because they’re oblivious). Shouts out to her for inadvertently bringing Faust and Will together in Chapter 1 of the fic, thanks Beverly very cool

-OK SO HEAR ME OUT: FAUST DOES ACTUALLY HAVE A FUNDAMENTAL UNDERSTANDING OF FREDDIE? She craves knowledge. She seeks to understand and make others understand. Her arrogance and curiosity is directly aligned with Faust’s own. They see themselves in one another and are suspicious of one another because of it because “oh no it’s the worst version of me”

-Feeling like Faust would be chronically pissed off at Jack. He knows Will can handle himself with Jack, but does that mean he should have to? No.

-As for my man Chilton, Faust isn’t scared of him, but he is scared of what he represents to him: Isolation and captivity. In Season 2, when Chilton starts being more of a Will-is-innocent believer, I can see them working together in some capacity, though.

LMK WHAT YOU WERE THINKING FOR JACK AND CHILTON, this was so fun to think about!!

[vorpaelyzis]

Of course we have same (similar) brain, you are the co-founder of this fanclub LMAO I feel like you understand my son better than me sometimes it's unreal. You also word stuff way better than I do, thank you for being my son's Shakespeare cuz I'm only decent with drawing this silly man rather than write

VVVVV SO YOU KNOW THOSE TAROT CARD THINGYS??? Like, there’s The Fool, The Empress, The Hanged Man, etc. THESE ONES. I’m curious, which card you think represents Faust? On that note, whichever you think it is could make an interesting Faust doodle!!

HAHAHA I ACTUALLY WANTED TO PLAN THESE ALREADY. Before the Art Nouveau pieces I'm planning for Faust, Will and Hannibal! But I ended up doing those first </3

I think Faust would definitely could be The Chariot, or the Tower or the Moon!!! I'm still actually unsure which would fit the man most 😭 what do you think??? I'd love to talk about it! And tbh I doubt I can leave these as just doodles, especially tarot cards. I've defined a few for other characters and I always go ham with them HAHA. Thank you for the ask!!!!
