Machine Translation: Player-kun…. Why would you defend King Greedō? He knows nothing but greed and ignores his own people’s suffering. That’s not how a king should be!

Official Translation: Hey… tell me, why are you defending King Avaricean? He’s no king… All he loves is the sound of gold dropping into his coffers, as he leaves his people to rot!

Twitter Localization Discoursist: as you can see, the meaning of this line was COMPLETELY lost in translation. Until I read this, I had NO IDEA that King Avaricean was supposed to be greedy

#toss a coin to your translator...

I get porn bot spam blogs shoved in my face every week, but what Tumblr decides is important to delete is a veteran yaoi zine? Wow.

the queerest place on the internet 🙃

Hey, everyone please do me a favor! s2b2's tumblr has been flagged as adult for ages, but when the editor sent a polite request to staff for it to be unflagged so it would be searchable, they just... insta-deleted the whole fucking thing. It would be very helpful if everyone could contact support and ask them to reverse this.

“I’ve been thinking about this lately. I was trained to be a Jedi, practically from birth…I wonder if it was the right thing. I never really got the chance to choose.”

“You can do whatever you want now, Ashara.” “….I guess I’m still trying to figure out what I want.”

This started out as a 'respectable' idea, but Mordrem Lieutenant Malyck had other plans. Into the side blog it goes!

If Durge romances Astarion, they fell in love with a man who escaped slavery twice.

If Durge romances Gale, they fell in love with a man with ambitions of godhood twice.

If Durge romances Karlach, they fell in love with someone who was betrayed by the people they trusted and sold to a devil twice.

If Durge romances Shadowheart, they fell in love with someone bound to an evil god twice.

If Durge romances Wyll, they fell in love with a man whose family abandoned him and became bound to a devil twice.

If Durge romances Lae’zel, they fell in love with someone who grew up in a brutal environment and every day was a struggle to survive twice.

Always makes me chuckle when bg3 fans are like “fuck durgetash enjoyers, they’re evil people, don’t they know Gortash is a slaver facist!”

Yet they still happily play as The Dark Urge: the serial killer necrophile animal abuser who ate a baby?

None of the circumstances put upon Durge excuse that. And to be quite honest I think they were still a lucid person in the past, Bhaal would have forced them to murder but he doesn’t care about cannibalism or necrophilia that shit is on Durge just like how Orin’s “artistic” torture is on her.

If you’re going to woobify them so much and act like they’re somehow better than Gortash why don’t you just play as tav? Silly.

#literally just because durge has amnesia doesn't mean they shouldn't be held to account esp since #they do have vague memories of some of it and recall a lot more in act 3 #they are both evil mfs #“okay but durge was controlled by bhaal” nobody told them to do shenanigans with gortash so they did have agency #post game arguably durge should be going to prison at the least lol. #but that's part of the fun #“you are 100% the most evil person in this game but now your quest is partly to redeem yourself”is such a unique and fun premise #baldur's gate 3

The thing I like the most about Wyllstarion is when the dynamic is “I can’t do it for me, but I’ll do it for you.”

I love when it addresses the canon line that Astarion once would have dreamed of a handsome, brave husband like Wyll, but that those dreams have been long forgotten in the need for survival. And for him to really love him? He’s going to have to peel back some of that trauma and those survival coping mechanisms. He’s going to have to remember how to be actually wooed, not follow a seduction playbook. And it’s going to be hard and messy but he can trust Wyll. Because he really is patient, and kind, and beautiful in spirit. He knows that Wyll would take the time he needs, so he’s going to give it to him, because a human lifespan is precious and he won’t waste a second of it not trying his best.

But equally!

I love it when it picks up on the canon inference that Astarion is Wyll’s fantasy too. A dashing rake straight from a story, a monster to be hunted and made good with beautiful hair and a saucy voice. That Astarion is as much Wyll’s fantasy too, to begin with. But then he is also somebody who will challenge him, tell him that sacrificing yourself over and over until you have nothing left isn’t noble, it’s stupid. It’s how people like Wyll get manipulated and swallowed up by people like him, doesn’t he see that? And it makes Wyll have to create a bit more agency for himself. Be angry at what he had to survive. Demand more from his relationship with his father to heal it. It also makes him demand from Astarion too. He wants to be with him, all of him, not just the idea on a piece of paper, because it’s what Astarion deserves, his shining star, and slowly he realises it’s what he deserves too.

My Durge Erendil: "Lady Jannath? Who? So much on our schedule, but I suppose I'll get around to killing her eventually. Hm, maybe Enver would like one of her fingers as a charming parting gift...? 🤔"

Questions for those who ship Durgetash with your oc Durge:

How would yours react once knowing about Lady Janneth and Gortash's past love affair?
