I finally managed to translate my Faustverse flowchart to English! And it has gotten even bigger!!!

I should’ve probably done so before posting it the first time because the audience I was posting it for doesn’t speak Russian (I am also not entirely sure if all of the books mentioned have an English translation….. fuck those people who decided to build the Tower of Babel it wasn’t worth it)

Anyway if you have any suggestions for the flowchart I would greatly appreciate them

Getting more than you bargained for is how you know you've made a good deal!

You’re right and you should say it

Happened across this really old reddit post while tracking down the photo for this meme and it made me giggle. I promise you it is, random redditor. You know what happens if you take out the silly bits? YOU GET THE RICHARD BURTON FILM. IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT, RANDOM REDDITOR? DO YOU WANT THE BURTON FILM? DO YOU?

not to continue #faustposting but. larson's "Gouging out his eyes, and I’m the monster…" in the finale. obviously refers to uncle but i think it's interesting that he's holding onto that detail of his death specifically. do you think yellow ever relayed what arthur told him abt faust. i mean, he's got no reason not to and every reason to add more to larson's list of reasons to hate him. for like, commiseration if nothing else

Sometimes when you're having a slow week at work because you have a backlog of digitized materials and you're by yourself in the office you end up finding delightful things on JSTOR. Bottom!Faustus is totally canon.

Also, this read on the "talk not of a wife" exchange, from the same article, is not groundbreaking (nor is meant to be) but is extremely well articulated:
