….Tell me what is that Lucifer thy lord?
MEPHIST. Arch-regent and commander of all spirits.
FAUSTUS. Was not that Lucifer an angel once?
MEPHIST. Yes, Faustus, and most dearly lov’d of God.
FAUSTUS. How comes it, then, that he is prince of devils?
MEPHIST. O, by aspiring pride and insolence; For which God threw him from the face of heaven.
FAUSTUS. And what are you that live with Lucifer?
MEPHIST. Unhappy spirits that fell with Lucifer,
Conspir’d against our God with Lucifer,
And are for ever damn’d with Lucifer.
FAUSTUS. Where are you damn’d?
MEPHIST. In hell.
FAUSTUS. How comes it, then, that thou art out of hell?
MEPHIST. Why, this is hell, nor am I out of it:
Think’st thou that I, who saw the face of God,
And tasted the eternal joys of heaven,
Am not tormented with ten thousand hells,
In being depriv’d of everlasting bliss?

hey Alice how are your Anakin feels doing? (man our star wars liveblog was good) star warsalichay replied to your post: TAG.YOU’RE IT. The rules are to state 10 random facts about yourself. Then, go to your 10 favourite blogs and tell them they’re it.
NOEL FIELDING WHAT. also is it weird to be proud of the fact you’re proud of icing the cunt cake for me :P
It was years ago: I was coming out of Forbidden Planet, turned onto the street and nearly walked into him. I was looking down so technically recognised him by the silver boots that I’d seen him wear on Never Mind the Buzzcocks, then looked up and saw his face. I didn’t say anything, just walked off all shaky and starstruck.
also that's not weird at all alichayalichay asked: TAG.YOU’RE IT. The rules are to state 10 random facts about yourself. Then, go to your 10 favourite blogs and tell them they’re it.
(aww yiss I’ve always wanted to do one of these, although now I’ll probably realise I don’t have 10 facts about myself)
1. I come from the same town as Matt Smith, and the dad of a girl in my class in primary school was his drama teacher. This is sadly probably my best celebrity connection (apart from the time I nearly walked into Noel Fielding outside Forbidden Planet).
2. Every year on Christmas day I try to read as many books as possible (this year it was only two sadly). My best was a few years ago when I read about 4 or 5, one of which was Doctor Faustus for the first time.
3. My birthday is New Year’s Day. This means I know exactly what I did to herald in the new millenium: opened my first present, a Rugrats art set, and drew the fireworks going on outside.
4. My most proud uni achievements to date are: writing an essay on Elizabethan erotic narrative poetry in which I concluded we could learn something from the gender fluidity in them, co-writing a satirical C18th play instead of an essay one week with my flatmate, and icing ‘Happy end of finals cunt’ onto a cake for Alice.
5. I hate sand, getting dirt on my hands, chocolate cake and tomatoes.
6. I’ve seen David Tennant in three different Shakespeare plays and am seeing him in a fourth, but I’d never even seen Doctor Who until after I’d seen all three of those. We went to Hamlet because we thought he’d be good and then the others because he was good in it.
7. When I was 13 I wore a bandana everywhere for months. When I was 15 I wore Doc Martens and tartan bondage trousers. Between the ages of 9 and 16 I wore a skirt exactly once.
8. As a child I hated both my first name and my lack of a middle name. My friend wanted to give me a middle name beginning with T so my initials would be STD.
9. My dad sells cars so new-car-smell gives me huge feelings of nostalgia.
10. Every time I reference going to Oxford on here, I plan what I’d say to anon hate having a go at me for going to Oxford. This is not helped by the fact that every time I go home, my dad asks if I’ve got too posh for them yet.

reblog every time because ME N ALICE THIS IS USsfdkjhgselfk.dg I wish I was in Oxford to feed you things I hope the hole-punch is enough in my absence
The hole punch has been giving me biscuits and watching over me, so all is well (oops it’s on the shelf next to my pretty copy of Shakespeare so I looked up at it and now Will is staring at me).
