fucking going mental over this man
Church: ok you’re a priest now. Maybe stop being a doctor?
Ficino: how about no? how about i never stop?
Church:
Ficino: how about I develop theological underpinnings for my continuing to be a doctor because I love being a doctor? I shall do this alongside creating new theological underpinnings to support my obsession with Plato and my deep, all consuming love for Cavalcanti, whom I call Hero because he is my hero and my most perfect friend.
Church:
Church: fine. i guess. ?
