Tristan and Isolde is a very known Story in Europe. Especially in Germany. Thanks to Richard Wagners Opera with the same name, it became so popular King Ludwig II. of Bayern commissioned a Tristan and Isolde Painting for his Neuschwanstein Castle! It's painted by August Spieß (1881) and in his bedroom!

Here you can see the Painting in the Bedroom and how big it actually is. On the full Painting you can see Brangaine in the Background as well, what a sight to behold!

PUNCHING YOU IN THE JAW

TRISTAN. FATE AND ACTUAL MYTHOS. GO

the fate one is shockingly incredibly accurate to just how weird tristan is!!! it’s also one of the better tristans I’ve seen in general because for some reason, arthurian writers like to make him mean/rude/abusive and he would never be like that (looking at you, TH White).

they do a great job at making him a total weirdo who runs on his own logic while simultaneously allowing him to be a serious character. especially in lb6, where even when he’s being silly, they have little details to remind you that he’s still, at his core, a man who’s lived his life unable to ever fully relax out of fear of potentially being attacked (mostly due to his uncle, probably). unfortunately, however, in events, he tends to get reduced to a womanizer and adulterer. those kind of memes/jokes fit tristan moreso than lancelot for sure, but even so, he’s more than just a man who chased after his uncle’s wife!!

just in general, tristan’s one of my favorite knights. he’s been through a lot - loss, betrayal, abandonment - to the point that even upon being born, his mother gave him a name that reflected the fact that his life would be full of sadness. in le morte d’arthur, at least, his story is partly about him trying to learn and accept that his uncle (his only family, as he was essentially disowned by his father) is someone he needs to cut out of his life, but even so, his undying loyalty to the one who took him in after his father threw him away and belief that mark might become better causes him to continue to return to mark and eventually be slain by him.

despite all that, tristan continues to be his usual gremlin self (other than when he went berserk that one time and ran around naked in the woods except when he would eat other people’s food. berserker tristan when, fgo? berserkerlot needs a friend and who better than the man he kissed over 100 times in life???). everything is clearly affecting him (the whole iseult of the white hands situation doesn’t help), but he continues to do his best!!! and play sick songs on his harp for his girlfriend and the random guy whose girlfriend he stole and he can’t possibly comprehend why said guy might hate him.

by the way I know this has been me rambling about how much I love the complexities of tristan but I just want to add on as a final line: the halloween 2 event where tristan jumps out a window and flies using his harp is a thing tristan would actually do. he does that in one point in le morte d’arthur but it’s him jumping out a church window and off a cliff after beating up a bunch of guys because he suddenly realized that he was naked and was embarrassed because people saw him, not because he was caught in bed with his uncle’s wife. by the way, he did not have his harp and it is not explained how he survived jumping through a window and off a cliff. tristan is simply just that powerful

My boyfriend’s mom has a movie about Tristan and Iseult that she offered to let me watch and she was like oh the guy that plays Tristan is really cute and out loud I was like oh sweet but internally I was like if he doesn’t have long, lucious red hair and doesn’t dramatically have his eyes closed at all times then what really is the point

Percival has a line in FGO where he tells Tristan “cheating is bad” and I just want to point out that the Tristan and Iseult (she’s an Irish Princess btw) story has three variants as to what happened. So for context a love potion is involved and this potion was made for Iseult and Tristan’s uncle to drink on their wedding night so they would love and be devoted to eachother for eternity basically. It varies as to whether the potions effects last for an eternity or if they fade after three years and you just gotta keep topping it up but I digress, we’re just using the first one cuz that’s what I grew up on (also it’s the one you see most)

Now here’s what happens. Tristan is sent to get Iseult for the wedding. Iseult has the love potions. At some point on their journey back to the uncle (Mark is his name lol), they stop to rest a night and one of three things happens: 

1) The most common variant, in which T & I ingest the potions completely on accident and are forced to go on the run because Tristan’s uncle will not see reason about it being An Accident. Tristan lives with that guilt forever btw 

2) Second most common variant, in which Iseult becomes infatuated with Tristan and tricks him into drinking the love potion so he will return her affections

3) They both fall in love naturally and make the conscious choice to ingest the potions to solidify their feelings for one another, and then elope together

Regardless which of the first two you read, Iseult still marries Mark and just has a whole Thing with Tristan on the side, though they keep a facade of innocence around Mark, until eventually he finds out (obviously) and everything goes to hell (naturally)

Beroul’s version of this tale is the oldest that we know of and so is widely considered to be the one “closest” to the original legend. His is also the one in which the spell wears off after three years but T & I still choose to continue their affair, though this eventually leads to them separating, Iseult returning to Ireland and Mark leaving the country (all three of them agreed to this btw). Tristan then goes to Brittany (the west of Modern France) and marries a different Iseult for her name and beauty. Funnily enough, her brother, Sir Kahedin, had an affair with the handmaiden of the Iseult of Ireland at the same time as the Tristan affair was happening. Wild

Anyway this story predates the one to do with Lancelot by like. A lot. Beroul’s version is dated at around 1150 - 1170 for the first half and then 1181 - 1190 for the second half. Tristan’s story has had many retellings over the years, even having an Old Belarusian prose composed in the 1560′s. Lancelot as a character doesn’t appear until 1170 and his passion for Guinevere is first shown in a German poem dated no earlier than 1194

Edit: Forgot to mention, the reason they keep having an affair in the first variant is because the spell pretty much forces them to always seek eachother out as lovers, so even if they don’t want to they don’t really have much of a choice in the matter. Fun times!

❝I fear I have been Isolted now for the second time.❞ - Tristan, Gottfried von Straßburg

Art by @leletosu

Here are my Takes on both Isoldes! I felt like sooner or later it’s gonna happen that I will create a Design for all the major Characters from the Tristan Legend, haha.

Unlike my Gottfried Tristan whose appearance is only based on Gottfried von Straßburgs „Tristan“ the two Isoldes are a fusion of many different depictions combined with my own interpretation and take of them!

While it is said that Isolde Weißhand has dark hair there is also a mention that she looks very similar (in some points) to Isolde from Ireland/La Belle Isolde. So I just decided to go with dark blonde hair in contrast to La Belles Strawberry Blonde!

I also used more story telling on Weißhand with the two roses. It is said that blue roses stand for unrequited love and yellow roses for envy or jealousy. Green is also often associated with Jealousy or Envy, so this is just to summarise her Character Arc in most Myths!

La Belle Isolde was a real obstacle to find a expression that fits her strongwilled personality and her calculating and yet very sublime Aura. So there was more work on her overall than Isolde Weißhand. Especially to capture her natural Beauty but yet let her appear like a Queen. Both Isoldes are royal but Isolde from Ireland seems way more powerful in appearance as a whole, haha.

「Meeting the ❝Idol❞」

Lady Juquia and Gottfried von Straßburg - Let’s talk about a Knight from the past and his tragic tale that would inspire us 'til today!

➵ My Take on Gottfried von Straßburgs Look is based on two Paintings that exist of him fused with my own imagination I had of him when reading his comments, drawn by @glacescup I always felt he had something angelic and yet down to earth onto him, someone who sings about Love in a grounded voice…

Paintings:

First by Glacescup, Second is in the Codex Manesse, Third one is by E. v. Luttich

Assorted sketches and WOL reveal I guess

She's Au Ra and her name is Iseult Hywel

I think it'd be funny if no one warned servants related to the round table about the fairy knights
