My body is God’s and my bones are for crows / My words are of record, now everyone knows / Many thousands will sail on your cups’ overflow / To come and see a fisherman...

[the fisher king and lancelot, for @mortiscausa's 'march to camelot,' for the prompt 'ruin']

#em draws stuff #march to camelot #arthurian things #arthuriana #the fisher king #king pelles #lancelot #slowly slowly catching up on mtc. this one was HARD.#had a very specific thing in mind at the start... thinking abt the fisher king and elaine of corbenic and lancelot #and the amount of agency pelles and elaine have in bringing about the existence of galahad. and that he's the Fisher king in that.#sitting in his ruined castle waiting waiting with his line forever. until he gets a bite from just the right knight. if that coheres.#and also! am doing a thing that I wanted to do last year but didn't manage to pull off where I shift the time period a little forward every #drawing as I proceed down the list. so gawain (last time) and pelles are earlier medieval and lancelot is maybe 13thc.#and then we're creeping into the 1400s for drawing 3 <- when will I finish it? who can say #OH yeah and caption lyrics are from the secret extra verse of fisherman by the imagined village #that I've found written out online but can't actually find a recorded version of as a Song #<- dear imagined village please put your canonical lyrics somewhere online. am not good at parsing your very nice audio.#so ends. this one's an all time favorite if I dare say so at this hour.
