Gallifrey sticker sheet #3! Venturing into (semi) headcanon territory. Featuring Darkel, Torvald, Andred, Omega and Arkadian.

I knew exactly what Omega was going to look like in my style. I knew exactly what was going to happen. And yet...

[incorrectgallifreyquotes]

Arkadian: You can thank me later. Matthias: You haven't done anything yet... Arkadian: Which is why I can't accept your thanks right now.

[gallifreyquotes]

ARKADIAN: But my conscience will not forgive me were I to let you go with him. ROMANA: Oh, you have a conscience, Arkadian? ARKADIAN: The drink keeps it at bay, but I’ve not had so much of a sniff of it for… half an hour, at least.

I have a few things to do today, plus it’s 430am, but I am now determined to prove that the cuckoo, the herald of rain, is absolutely @seaofwine ‘s smol birb in Arkadia.

Or at least a solid argument why it should be. Watch this space.

I forgot how much I adore Mephistopheles Arkadian in the Gallifrey series.

I’m transcribing Weapon of Choice and ah.

ARKADIAN: How else could a minor player such as myself end up in the Presidential Suite of Gallifrey’s most delightful Imperiatrix? ROMANA: That is not a usual form of address, Mr Arkadian.

Drawing I made for a dumb thing on Screb

The line art was ENTIRELY made on the bitmap thing, but I colored it in with Firealpaca bcs I'm weird like that.

Anyways so what the hecc is this for? well uh.... Its for this thing Im doing on screb called "Turning Randos into AotP Characters" which is kinda like my own take on TES but with its own lore & whatnot.

So yeh this was supposed to be like an Arkadian ver of a Khajit (Arkadian Khajits are called Nyinns).

So, I will be posting all of the art from the thing I did on here bcs why not.

Character: Scratch's Mascot (But drawn in my style)

Art: Mine.

Programs: Scratch & Firealpaca.

Bubs' TOS: Plz don't repost/steal, trace, or recolor my art WITHOUT MY PERMISSION! If you do, I'll take yur femur and pelvis.. SO, DON'T THINK ABOUT IT! (The PNS on my Blog's pinned project clearly means "Please No Steal" plz follow that rule.) If you do post my art on anything like yur blog or somewhere else (With my permission) PEASE CREDIT ME!

Working on researching more obscure non-Attic Ancient Greek religion be like:

Me: Which deity was worshipped most in this region

Google: a Goddess who was not named but used this title, Despoine, in the mystery tradition, later conflated with these other goddesses from these other mysteries

Me: Yeh but who was the original goddess, before the conflations

Google: Bitch I just said it was a mystery didn't I?

Narvin to Arkadian: Somewhere out there, there is a tree tirelessly producing oxygen so you can breathe Narvin: I think you owe it an apology.

[gallifreyquotes]

ROMANA: You played me like a violin. ARKADIAN: I am but a humble fiddler. Narvin is the virtuoso here.

Zeus Lykaios

In the heart of ancient Arkadia, atop Mt Lykaion, was an enormous ash altar dedicated to the prehistoric sky-god form of Zeus. In effigies discovered in excavations of the ashen mound, he is referred to by his oldest epithet, Zeus Semios, the Giver of Signs, among others; Zeus Ombrios, the Showery; Zeus Lykaios, interpreted alternately as both Zeus the Wolf-like and Zeus the Light. This site was three-layered: the top of the mountain was devoted to burnt offerings; the second, about halfway down the mountain, was the larger sanctuary that attracted the most visitors. It is assumed that this first sanctuary was what the majority of traveling worshippers came to see and leave offerings at the second altar. This was devoted to rites of thanksgiving, praying, and leaving smaller personal offerings that would not be taken to the mountaintop. Halfway between the two sanctuaries was a fountain, a spring of freshwater where Pausanias recorded witnessing priests coming together to officiate a ritual to entreat Zeus into letting down rain.

Offerings:

Most of the people coming to this specific sanctuary in Arkadia were farmers from the surrounding land. Their requests were most often recorded as prayers for rain and plentiful harvests. They offered many things, including livestock to be sacrificed and their bones burnt on the peak altar, but this was not the norm. Many household objects have been unearthed, but here are some notable surviving offerings to Zeus:

Philai (small libation bowls)

Skyphoi (a deep wine bowl with two handles and a stand)

Terracotta lamps

Iron knives 

Bronze rings

Iron keys

Terracotta figurine of a small bird

Coins

Miniature bronze tripod cauldrons

depictions of Zeus

In modern reconstruction, offerings of jewelry, pottery, statues, coins, and figurines are historically attested.
