#Peter Everston

[laurikarauchscat]

Hi, who's that nilfgaardian who smashed Emhyr? (Previous drawing) Any hcs?

hey!

I initially thought it should be Vattier, because I like the idea of Vattier as a sort of "master of secrets" whose loyalty is difficult to win, so Emhyr would have to resort to - alternative methods of persuasion.

(As an aside, This pairing was endeared to me by @queenofyumcha, in her fic, "the Price of Betrayal)

but halfway through the drawing I re-read @bomberqueen17's "Fit for pearls" and started seeing Peter Everston's behaviour in there as similar to that of a very controlling boyfriend (especially if you read "Quills" as well). Or more accurately, like that of the asshole stepdad that gaslights his wife into thinking it's OK that he tortures her children. So that was on my mind as well... which is why this dude has light hair (how I picture Peter)

For anyone familiar with Fit for Pearls - I am not saying that the "Peter" in my drawing would be the same as the one in the fic. That one is a twat.

A Guide to the Chapters and Houses of Gallifrey

About a month ago @toaasted-bread asked me about my headcanons about the Chapters of Gallifrey. I typed up this as a response and then promptly forgot to post it. Better late then never, I hope.

Let's talk about the Chapters and the Great Houses! Some of this is headcanons, but I'll try to cite things when it's relevant.

So there are six chapters of Gallifrey: The Prydonian Chapter, the Arcalian Chapter, the Scendeles Chapter, the Patrex chapter, Cerulean Chapter and the Dromeian Chapter. Prydonian, Arcalian, and Patrex were established in The Deadly Assassin (classic who tv), Cerulean and Dromeian in Lungbarrow (a book), and Scendeles in The Ancestor Cell (another book). These are the six.

Each of the chapters has an associated color. Prydonians have red, Arcalians have green, Patrexes have purple, Ceruleans have blue, and Dromeians have silver. Scendeles's color is not stated anywhere, but I headcanon it to be yellow (I'll get back to this)

Every Time Lord is part of a Great House. Each Great House is sorta the equivalent to a Time Lord family, although some Time Lords form families outside their Houses (for example, the Doctor and Braxietel are brothers, but they are of different Houses). The majority of the Houses have presumably not been named, given that Gallifrey has a population of billions, and the only house who's size we know (House Lungbarrow) has 45 members. Each house has its own individual Loom. Many were named after their founders, such as House Fordfarding and House Mirraflex. House Rassilon existed prior to Rassilon, but was renamed in his honor.

Before I jump into the different houses, I'm gonna say now I treat Faction Paradox's War in Heaven and BBC's Last Great Time War as the same conflict, so will be pulling from both. Now let's have some Houses!

House Arpexia: A politically powerful house with a focus in reason, science and truth. It's members were more likely to have night vision and hallucinations. The Corsair is a member of this House

House of Artronides: The house Hallan belongs to

House Bluewood

House Blyledge: A house explicitly in the Prydonian chapter

House Brightshore: A house known for its wealth and power. Livia Corallis belongs to this House.

House Catherion: A House that was destroyed centuries prior to the Time War when a scientific experiment destroyed its Loom

House Deeptree/Redlooms: These are two names for the same house that Andred belonged to (the books and audios gave different names of Andred's House, so I just headcanon them as the same House with different names). It's part of the Arcalian Chapter

House Duskeriall: house of Goth. A Brief History of Time Lords claims that Goth (and, by extension, House Duskeriall) were part of the Prydonian Chapter. I don't tend to weigh non-narrative texts as strongly when considering stuff, but nothing else contradicts this

House Dvora: One of the most politically powerful Houses, if not the most powerful. Morbius and the Master were both from this House. A part of the Dromeian Chapter. Almost all of that is headcanon and I'm gonna need to defend that, so let's put a pin in this for now.

House Everston

House Fordfarding

House Heartshaven: A Prydonian House. Romana belongs to this house.

House Hellfrost: a House that notably remained loyal to Morbius after the Gallifreyan civil war. I suspect it is Dromeian because of that.

House Ixion: a House that petered out at some point in Gallifreyan history

House Jurisprudence: The house Darkel belongs to.

House Lineacrux: Stated to wear yellow robes, hence my believing them to be of the Scendeles Chapter, since every other chapter already has a color. A house of notable political power.

House Lungbarrow: A Prydonian House. The Doctor belongs to this House, and the people we see in Hell Bent are presumably also members of House Lungbarrow. I also believe the Woman we see in The End of Time was a member of House Lungbarrow - specifically a Time Lord named Innocet.

House Meddhoran: Notable for introducing non-Gallifreyan biodata into their Loom during the Time War

House Mirraflex: A politically powerful house that became a military leader during the Time War

House Neutronides

House Rassilon: the House Rassilon, and possibly Omega, was a part of. I think Rassilon was part of the Prydonian chapter, but I'm not 100% sure of that.

House Stillhaven: The only house aside from House Lungbarrow to oppose Rassilon's Ultimate Sanction. As punishment, Rassilon experimented on the members of the House after the War but before he was exiled from Gallifrey.

House Tracolix: A house that briefly held political power during the Time War, but made some disastrous alliances with the wrong people (namely an empowered rogue Tardis) and quickly lost power after they were betrayed

House Urquineath: Another House that faded away prior to the start of the Time War

House Wetrix

House Wetstone

House Witforge: A House in the Patrex chapter. Narvin is a member of this House

House Xianthelipse: A House that gained prominence during the Time War through it's willingness to experiment to create new weapons.

I promised I'd come back to House Dvora, which was introduced in The Book of the War. As written, the House is pretty clearly intended to be Prydonian and be Romana's house, but this is never made explicit. I headcanon it otherwise since the House of Heartshaven exists and I think it's more interesting to have some relevant houses that aren't Prydonian. House Dvora does claim to be Morbius and the Master's house, and on the cover of Vengeance of Morbius, Morbius is wearing the colors of the Dromeian Chapter, which is why I claim Dvora is a Dromeian House.

One more note - you may have noticed that some of the Houses were no longer in existence, which if that continued would (eventually) lead to the extinction of the Time Lords. However, the Time Lords have protocols in place for the creation of new Houses, which were used at least twice in "modern" era. In both cases, the founders (Grandfather Paradox and Lolita) had an agenda beyond "make a new House" so neither House got listed above, but that does show such a thing is possible.

So, like, how does this all work? The way I picture it is thus: each House is Gallifreyan genetic bloodline, with their DND and biodata being used to Loom (clone) new Time Lords. So Time Lords that share a Loom are genetically and biodata-ily similar to each other. Each Chapter is the Time Lord equivalent an ethnic or cultural heritage - it's not actually much like that, but that's the closest equivalent I can make to human culture. Most Time Lords associate strongly with their houses by default, but by the Doctor's time, this is starting to break down - the Doctor's friend group at the Academy included people from multiple Chapters. (Also while the Doctor has referenced going to the Prydonian Academy specifically, the audio Time in Office clarifies that all chapters go to this academy, with "Prydonian Academy" being a commonly used name for it for some reason).

Hey Aubrey! Happy Friday! ^u^ Beginning of the month is a busy time for me, so I haven't been able to work much on creating for my stories. But. I wanted to share this little thing I came up with for my worldbuilding wip Everston Academy. In this wip I am creating a magical community which combines my love for Harry Potter and my hatred for JK Rowling - I'm trying to replicate that feeling of magic and mystery with a little bit more of a grown up take. I want to design the things for my world that I think were poorly designed in HP, like the aspects of the cultures in a magical society - fashions, cuisines, everyday tools, inventions. (And I don't have to mention my world will be queer and proud? Yes? ;) ) I had my head stuck on the topic of fashion in November. The main focus, for now, was the academics and the cultural circles around it - what would they wear?

Firstly - no item of clothing is gendered, you wear what you like. In here there's no concept of the binary.

But everyone loves vests. Mainly plain but also plaid or embroidered. Mismatching halfs? Works too.

Then there's trousers or skirts - to each their own, combining is not frowned upon. You can go for the same combination as the vest, you can go opposite. Run your imagination wild.

My favourite part - the blouse. Shirts are for other styles, in the academic circles everyone wears blouses. And not just any blouses - blouses with lace! Frilly lace cuffs, edwardian-like lace collars? Yes, yes, yes! There's fabric buttons if you'd like (those rows in the back or the front or the side, they look so pretty), there's peter pan style lace collars and lace cravats, there's lower and higher necklines, tight or loose sleeves, bell shapes and puffs, and cuffs!

A good blouse is a staple in any Magician's wardrobe.

Color palette for this wardrobe is simple, yet versatile - as throughout all of witch fashion, the main stage take the earthy colors: browns, blacks, greys (including silver), greens, deep oranges and reds, as well as beiges and whites. Then there's the two most synonymous with a union of the highly important to the community Magicians - the Lunarist and the Solarist - night sky blue & gold.

Embroidery shapes are very individual, though often follow the usual themes in witch fashions - nature. They can also include references to one's inclination, family, method of casting or a witch holiday.

This came out almost like a worldbuilding post, oh gosh, sorry >.< Anyway, hope you enjoyed this information!

i am SO HERE FOR THIS CONCEPT OMG

it's so in depth already and you're JUST DESCRIBING THE WARDROBE i'm FROTHING at hte MOUTH this is gonna be EPIC!!! :D

i like paleontology, and i like to think that in the pokemon universe id be able to/therefore more motivated to follow that interest? so id want to be, like, a scientist type trainer, specifically one of the guys around nacrene museum or the relic castle since unovas my favourite region (i refuse to acknowledge the fact that in the pokemon universe id be galarian simply because zacian is ruining my life on showdown).

eventually id end up with archen cause (much as i like fish) i definitely dont have the knowledge or resources to take care of a carracosta, and also cause its just a funny little guy and really funky looking with a kind of shitty ability (defeatist enjoyers dont look at me). id get it its own, like, aviary cage thatd probably take up most of a room like in the peter caine dog training sam the raven videos and it would run around my house/apartment stealing things for its hoard. i also would get bitten so much, because birds, but i have a ring i wear for when i see my cousins bird so it bites that instead of my fingers and also i have a cat now that really likes biting my hands so im sure id build up an immunity.

dont think itd be my first pokemon, though, cause its a fossil so its a bit difficult to come by. my starter/first pokemon would be maractus, cause cacti are fairly low-maintenance and also i love maractus. realising perhaps that ive geared my pokemon choice around route 4/desert resort but i guess i just, like, grew up in nimbasa or something. you definitely shouldnt go into route 4 without a pokemon partner, and irl i have a friend who keeps trying to give me her succulent babies, so id have got it off her.

archeops is a bit big to take care of so, like prev said, everstone. and hopefully itd get along with maractus after realising that biting it hurts.

followers who would be your pokemon partner… I don’t mean the pokemon you’d WANT to have I mean the pokemon you’d HAVE. I want to hear the same kind of activity level + safety + enrichment considerations you’d use if you were considering getting a particular breed of dog for example
