PERCEVAL THE UNHAPPY, THE MISERABLE, THE UNFORTUNATE, THE FISHER KING!

Perceval, de Troyes (trans. Burton Raffel)

ALRIGHT alright. so previously I did an illustration that explained the premise of all this, that it's inspired by the narrative choices that Bresson made in his film Lancelot du Lac etc

to dive in more into it (because this is something like derivative fiction. I'm putting concepts into a blender and seeing what comes out of it): the setting is haunted by the previously existing narratives that started cannibalizing each other until it regurgitates itself into the more well known narrative beats, and something else about the invasive rot of christianity and empire mythmaking into settings. it's an intertextual haunting, if you will! and this scene takes place during the grail quest narrative, but the temptation of Perceval plays out differently.

in both Chretien (and Wolfram's) Perceval narratives, what 'wakes' Perceval up (in more ways than one. desire and self actualization in one go!) is seeing knights, something his mother tried hard to keep him from. so instead of the temptation of lust & etc in the Morte narrative taking the form of a lady, it takes the form of a knight. the temptation to renounce one's faith to serve something else remains.

so Perceval still stabs himself, but instead of continuing on the grail quest in the shadow of Galahad, he becomes the narrative's Fisher King because his earlier state of being as a the grail quest hero is creeping back into his marrow. it was waiting for an opening, and stabbing yourself in the thigh is one hell of a parallel!!!

that wound isn't going to heal buddy, and the state of the setting will now be reflected on your body. sure hope that Arthur hasn't like. corrupted the justice of the land or anything. that sure would suck for your overall health.

all the red in this sequence is because in de Troyes' Perceval, Perceval takes the armor of the Red Knight and becomes known as the Knight in Red.

and now for the citations, which I will try to order in a way that makes sense!

Monet+ : I designed 2 & 3 right along with these Monet looks, but locked them in the vault. #1 is an unused pose from the latest piece.

It was fun to play with sporty, rich, vintage-space-age signifiers (Gucci, Courrèges, others): strong and clean in a danger room session, and still chic seated next to Emma Frost over champagne brunch.

dump post of more of my xmen game pitch stuff from 2022 lol.storm, wolverine, and magik: just a few of a wider cast of characters the player/jubilee can choose to build your mission parties/experience different narratives with.

+ some worldbuilding stuff. much of the story takes place in mutant town/district x, and focuses on the xmen taking care of everyday urban mutant issues, which they find are ultimately linked to larger, national conspiracies to subjugate mutants

+ jubilee and monet’s dorm room. jubilee’s friends are monet, synch, + husk. she’d have the opportunity to grow relationships with them (including romantic ones), + later go on missions w/ them during a plotline where the xmen are incapacitated
