They’re all pretty accurate eSPECIALLY THE LAST ONE IM WHEEZING

sähst du, voller Mondenschein,
Zum letztenmal auf meine Pein,
Den ich so manche Mitternacht
An diesem Pult herangewacht:
Dann über Büchern und Papier,
Trübsel’ger Freund, erschienst du mir!
Ach! könnt’ ich doch auf Berges-Höh’n,
In deinem lieben Lichte gehn,
Um Bergeshöle mit Geistern schweben,
Auf Wiesen in deinem Dämmer weben,
Von allem Wissensqualm entladen,
In deinem Thau gesund mich baden!
Did anyone else think about Faust when they heard Gale's story of his folly? The whole fandom compares him to Icarus, to some other mythical characters, but it seems very few people see the obvious.
Gale is Faust. While Karsus was Marlowe's Faust, who wanted only power for himself, Gale is Goethe's Faust, who wants to help people, who pursues power "for the greater good".
So in the 1960 movie adaptation of Goethe’s play “Faust”, they chose to give the devil Mephistopheles a very different look than how he’s usually portrayed.
Here are a few images of what Mephisto is usually shown as looking like:


so just your very average looking devil/demon figure with a hat, you know?
But here’s what Mephisto looked like in the 1960 version:

Start drawing art of Asra, without much context or plot fgyrgyrg
I decided to try using rougher and clearer strokes, but I didn't really like the result :')

Can creativity change the world?
This was the title that caught my eye as I was zipping through Moynihan Hall in Penn Station Which is in Manhattan NYC. The artworks in the glass case which encompassed the exhibit stopped me in my tracks.
When I discovered that the exhibit was based on art that was created in moleskin Journals I could not resist. I had to take in this moment and document it so I could share it with you. These are some of my favorite pieces from this dope ass exhibit.
