Looking for a Baldur's Gate 3 Roleplay

Hello everyone! As the post title says, I am looking for a roleplay set in the Baldur's Gate 3 universe. I am open to tons of different scenarios, as well as AU's, following canon, no TAV, etc.etc. I would be willing to double up for an OC x CC roleplay, however I do have a soft spot for CC x CC. I am comfortable roleplaying just about any character, you just have to ask! Some of the CC x CC ships I am interested in are as follows: ▶ Bloodweave (Gale x Astarion) ▶ Shadowheart x Lae'zel ▶ Hellspawn (Karlach x Astarion) ▶ Durgetash (Dark Urge x Gortash)

These are only a few of the main ones I'd really like to roleplay, but I'm open to just about anything! I roleplay exclusively on discord as I'm not the most active on Tumblr. You can send me a message here or interact and I'll reach out. Thanks, babes!

Wavemother's Robes this wavemother's robes that... When are we going to start talking about the game's ACTUAL sexiest armor set?

I never beg for numbers on posts but can we keep this one going only so I can keep enjoying reactions like this. Like, can DU Drow Booty just become a staple in everyone's feeds until everyone is sick of it

I'd like to believe this is how it all started.

Die temu ad die

Hmm. Accidentally looks like latin.

It accidentally is latin

Accidental latin is my new favourite thing.

Found this in the margins of a medieval manuscript.

This is a very charming illustration and I do approve of Accidental Latin, but unfortunately, that is not what this (Fake) Accidental Latin actually says. Google Translate seems to think "temu" is identical to "timor" (infinitive, "to fear"), which would then be conjugated in first-person singular as "timeo" ("I fear"). "Temu" is not a word in Latin. So that is a very weird leap on Google Translate's part to turn gibberish into... something vaguely etymologically similar sounding? Hmm.

Next, "die" does mean "day," though nominative singular is "dies," i.e. "dies irae." It could be conjugated "die" if it was in ablative or locative case, but "die ad die" would mean something more like "day to day." "Ad" is in a "to" direction and "ab" is from, i.e. "ab urbis," and ablative case is used to indicate the movement of a thing. In short, "by" is not really a way to translate "ad"; we might want "per" here? (Through, by means of, etc.)

Not to mention, it would be weird to put one "die" at the start and another at the end The verb also usually goes at the end in Latin sentences, just for that extra bit of fun. So yes, in short, this is not actually Latin, and Google Translate is very bad at Latin in particular. Nonetheless, still charming.

Agree, @qqueenofhades, except on the matter of breaking “die ad die” apart. It’s a common structure in poetic and oratorical Latin to jam one phrase in the middle of another. I can’t think of an example exactly parallel to this construction, but I could believe a Roman poet would write it!

qqueenofhades

Ah, that is true. My Latin is of the reading-medieval-documents (particularly charters and/or chronicles) variety, where the sentence and usage structures are often more formulaic and there is less poetic license to move words around. There is obviously far less fixity for word order in Latin, since the conjugations explain how they grammatically relate to each other rather than placement in the sentence. (Coincidentally, this is why I used to say that the best feeling in the world was walking past a Latin classroom and not having to go inside it. Ahem.)

So yes: true that poetical Latin might be more at liberty to split the "die"-s up that far, though "timeo" (verb) is still more likely in most cases to go at the end, which would place them together anyway ("die ad die timeo," "day to day I fear" if translated in strict word order, which would make sense to an English speaker and sound more poetic anyway). Keep in mind, however, that my Latin is a) fairly rusty and b) mostly used for said formulaic legal document reading rather than freeform verse, so don't super-hard quote me on this.

sekkitsune

I saw that ablative “die” and that final -u on “temu” and thought of the ablative supine (as in “mirabile dictu”) but as you observe, there isn’t a verb that “temu” could be, and then also, the ablative supine requires an adjective, as far as I know.

But perhaps “temu” is a hapax legomenon (in which case we would need the rest of the text to gloss it) or a scribal error for temeratu, from temero, “I defile or disgrace”. In that case, and in true Tumblr form, I might translate it as “daily I disgrace, in the manner of the day”, with some errors attributable to the scribe.

qqueenofhades

....oh my god. You might be a genius. Because what else does Tumblr do but daily disgrace [itself, oneself, and/or numerous others] in the manner of the day, and make numerous scribal errors.
