Bury My Heart (Galehaut Laid to Rest)

"HERE LIES GALEHAUT THE SON OF THE GIANTESS, THE LORD OF THE DISTANT ISLES, WHO DIED FOR THE LOVE OF LANCELOT" "And Lancelot himself lay his companion to rest inside the tomb. After he had laid Galehaut down, he kissed him three times on the mouth in such agony that his heart nearly leapt out of his chest. " - Lancelot Part IV (Lancelot-Grail /Vulgate Cycle)

I haven't completed a traditional drawing in pencil in years after switching almost completely to digital. There was a few times I almost gave up in the sketch phase, so I'm proud of myself for seeing it through.

Its been genuinely healing to work on this and pour my heart for these two.

If I ever have the time I'd really like to make a short comic of the events that transpire between Lancelot finding Galehaut's original grave and bringing him home so that they may eventually rest together. (Note: I did add a blue wash on the background since I wanted to leave the original drawing in pencil with no paint or marker. I'll be sharing the original drawing with no digital edits, some color tests (since I still plan to do a colored version), and a deep dive on the many references/inspirations behind this piece on Patreon later this month.)

SUBTEXT

so I've focused in on Perceval and Bors before, and I've done Perceval and Gender (for more on this specifically, see: Clothes Make The Man: Parzival Dressed and Undressed, Michael D. Amey) and did a whole comic that leaned into some subtext™ on temptation, but actually let's throw out the subtext! let's bring Augustine into this!!

Perceval, de Troyes (trans. Burton Raffel)

introduction to Confessions, Augustine (trans. Sarah Ruden)

so for perceval a knight is both the gender he wants to perform but also something that is expressly compared to god, and if god is a lover that seduces. well. does this not also apply to knights as well?

Homosexuality in the Renaissance: Behavior, Identity, and Artistic Expression, James M. Saslow

and while galahad might be the obvious choice, I think perceval's relationship with bors during the grail quest narrative is more interesting. it's not god that transforms perceval, it's the sight of knights for the first time. something in here specifically is incredibly intriguing to me, but there's a different text I need to finish reading to fully form some thoughts on it.

le Morte d’Arthur

and finally! tentatively. I think I might slowly start turning this idea I had a couple years back into a fully formed comic. we'll see! I had most of it blocked out, but halfway through reading augustine's confessions, I think was when perceval finally clicked for me as a character in a later narrative cycle setting. I think I might have to spend a lot of time doing some visual research first because my god I cannot consistently draw armor to save my life......back when I lived in new england, there was a museum with a wonderful medieval armor collection I could visit.....alas.........I will have to hit the books (literally, I have a collection of books on medieval armor but this is apparently the one thing I can't visualize properly in my imagination. save me, museum collections, you're my only hope)

Tumblr users will say "queer history" and mean "midcentury archival records from a specific US-American city that I have extrapolated into a universal mythos" and not even blink

[taliabhattwrites]

"learn your queer history" I am from fucking INDIA

[taliabhattwrites]

Maybe your queer elders fictional or otherwise were also influenced by the biases and contradictions of their own circumstances, time and place, and I am no more beholden to their ideas and ways of doing things than I am to any other form of tradition trying to constrain me.

Perhaps history is a conversation and not an edict.

Tired of retellings with transphobic Kay. That is NOT the way he would behave.

If instilling gender euphoria in the little tboy on dish duty yields efficiency during dinner service then, by God, Kay is laminating the kitchen staff’s new and mandatory pronoun pins himself!!!!!!

Dieser Teil aus einem Rehragout Interview aus 2023... "Er kämpft um die Liebe vom Franz." und halt auch komplett ernst gesagt dsjdskjd. Außerdem das Zeug mit "in die Unsichtbarkeit gedrängt" lässt sich halt auch so queer interpretieren (auch auf einem meta Level)...

[onepuzzledpigeon]

Rudi's Grammatik-Gequatsche zu "war" in Dampfnudelblues ja doch aber eigentlich kompletter Schwachsinn.... wie er es anwendet ist es doch 1. Person Präteritum, 3. Person Perfekt von "sein" wäre "gewesen"......

[onepuzzledpigeon]

Grießnockerlaffäre rewatch und random Detail das mir jetzt erst auffällt, Franz präpariert die zwei Leberkäsesemmerl so das eins beide Oberseiten und das andere beide Unterseiten von den Semmerln hat?? Letzteres gibt er natürlich Rudi (der es natürlich bemerkt aber nicht kommentiert)??? Why is he like this????

Die absolute Verwirrung in Rudi's Gesicht aber halt auch dsdkjsdk
