I could've sworn I read somewhere that "sweet" in Elizabethan parlance is essentially the Old English version of "queer". I can't find any reliable sources to back up that claim but if that context is to be believed, Faust calling Meph "sweet mephistopheles" gives off the same vibes as "gay bowser"

writing advice for characters with a missing eye: dear God does losing an eyes function fuck up your neck. Ever since mine crapped out I've been slowly and unconsciously shifting towards holding my head at an angle to put the good eye closer to the center. and human necks. are not meant to accommodate that sorta thing.
winslow crafting recipe. based on an image by @bonzly on a potp discord (that is penguin classics Faust part 1 in the middle)
context:
happy pride btw
Stayed up making some Amtgard kris/flame-blade boffer concepts last night for my Faustian bard... also trying to find a way to make a strike-legal lute or a similar instrument but i'm floundering :V
also a rough schematic with measurements
(i can't place why but for some reason i have a gut feeling that this is somehow not going to work the way i intend it to)
