So this afternoon while I was waiting for some files to transfer I read the Google Books preview of Magus by Anthony Grafton, a new book (it seems sort of scholarly/popular crossover) on the cultural significance of the magician in Renaissance Europe, and of course, as one might expect, the intro chapter focuses on the Faust legend as a case study. It looks like a pretty good book but I mostly wanted to share this anecdote related in it, which I hadn't seen before (the footnotes, alas, were cut off, so I'm not sure of the source; it's not in the English Faustbuch which iirc is a pretty direct translation of Spiers 1587) but is instantly one of my favorites:
Once, at a gathering of scholars, Faust offered to conjure up a bunch of lost classical plays, so that the scholars might copy them down. The scholars were, of course, tempted--who wouldn't want to recover lost knowledge? But then they concluded that, while the plays were in whatever sort of textual afterlife lost classical plays go to, demons could have tampered with them, and who knows what kind of ungodly things they could have put in there? And so, displaying a truly frightening amount of willpower, they respectfully declined.
I love that so much: the focus on lost classical knowledge as a site of temptation, the idea of dramatic/literary texts as something that can be summoned, the idea that surviving texts by classical pagans are totally fine but lost ones are vulnerable to demonic tampering--I also love versions of Faust who are (or at least were at one point) actually serious about scholarship on some level. I think Marlowe (a Cambridge man) was the first to really get into that idea, of Faustus as a legitimate but discontented academic, and I think he would have liked that story. He did make his Faustus ask:
When I was doing my first Master's degree I studied Doctor Faustus with the late, great Renaissance drama scholar David Bevington, at a point in my life where I was trying to treat serious undiagnosed depression with observant Catholicism, and his empathetic treatment of the play has always stayed with me. He asked us: can any of us say we wouldn't be at least a little tempted? And I've always remembered that.

I know there's not much I can tell, but you remind me of Honami from Project Sekai. This is only my assumption but you give me a vibe of a person that is very caring and extremely nice, just like Honami. <3 Someone whose empathy is on a high level and cares about those around her. (Bonus points if you like apple pies)
Another character is Hanami from Jujutsu Kaisen. Not very special reason, it's mostly because of the flowers Hanami is associated with. And I won't tell much, because of the spoilers, but Hanami was a gentle person from personality. (At least this is how I remembered her, lmao.)
And I wanted to say something I kinda wanted to say for some quite time now and decided to take a chance now.
I am always happy whenever I see you in my notifications or when I see reblogs from you. I know I might sound silly but seeing you interacting with me in any kind of form makes me really happy. Especially because I see you since the very beginning of my Tumblr new life (my first account was in 2013 but it was deleted lmao).
So thank you for being there. I know it's mostly a coincidence because you follow my friend and interact with her mostly, but I still wanted to say that I'm happy whenever I see you. :3
I don't know these characters but from how you describe them I'm happy to remind you of them! I can't judge myself objectively but I try my best to be caring and empathetic, so I think I have some similarities with Honami :3 (though I don't like apple pies that much). Maybe with Hanami too, perhaps one day I'll watch Jujutsu Kaisen since now I'm intrigued by her character
I'm happy that you like interactions with me, it's the same for me, I'm glad whenever I see that you liked/reblogged/booped me! I remember how Goldyluna drew Gin for your avatar and since then whenever I saw your avatar I thought "Oh, that's a friend of Goldy". All the better when I saw you in my notifications, I felt honored. And I still do, especially after reading this ask! It's so heartwarming that you value my presense here <3
I actually wanted to follow you for a long time but either forgot or lacked the courage to make the first move, so I'm happy to be mutuals now, thanks for following me first :3

Was feeling sappy a few days ago, so i made a few hugging drawings!! It's kinda what i like to imagine every time i tell one of my friends that i love them, like saying it is an online hug!
I want to make more personalized ones with my friends' sonas sometime, but for now this represents all of them! 💙
#lee#hugging poses are SO HARD#and for WHAT???#Also i'm a verrrry big fan of the behind hug :'3#it's so sweet!#especially when your friends is smaller than you are hehehehe#It's a comforting sorta hug for me tbh#though i usually draw my sona *giving* said hug lol#my art#kowtownart#sona#I can't wait until the day(s) that i'll be able to hug them for real... but that might not be for a while yet#but thats okay. I'm okay with drawing out my love for them until then

Thinking about the idea I had a LONG time ago about Mabel sending motivational and complimenting stickers for the boys and Ford saving a “write your own message” one just for Stan and had to draw it.
#gravity falls#stanley pines#stanford pines#stan twins#sea grunks#sketches#comic#my art#stan pines#ford pines#this was a stir of the moment thing#so it’s kind of rushed and not great but it was too sweet to pass up#also a sort of pick-me-up personally
