For everyone who needs it, here's a headbonk from Boo.
This always happens.
So I’m reading that gay kung fu novel everyone was on about a while back
I’m watching an old OVA on YouTube and I have the generated subtitles on since the audio isn’t great and the way it transcribes a character singing in Japanese is hilarious.

the thing about goethe's mephistopheles is the Silly. he's like let's steal faust's clothes and fuck with random students. let's drill a hole in the table and make wine spill out and make it blow up in a guy's face. let's invent banknotes and wreck the imperial economy. he just bounces around on his goat foot wreaking havoc in rhyming couplets for 27462157628 pages and he doesn't give a single fuck. king shit

Thinking about that time Faustus told a literal demon from hell that it was ugly and needed to shapeshift before rooming with him.
Raphael x chronic hand pain!Reader
It'd been years and you'd tried every potion. Every healer you can find. You've had surgery and still, the pain in your hands persisted. There seemingly wasn't much anyone could do anymore. Everyone told you to just live with it, but you didn't want to--you wanted things to change. You want to feel better. So you sought out the devil Raphael.
