The Glow Of a Message That Never Came @abysmal-starbender - Tumblr Blog

Loading... Welcome to The Internet!

About Me, and My Blog

Hi, I'm Starbender, but you can just call me Star. I'm in my 20's, and my blog is 18+. I'm a queer, disabled Canadian artist, fashion designer, and hobby writer. I'm on AST (Atlantic Standard Time) / UTC -4. I speak English, some French, and Korean.

There is a secondary personality on my blog named Aster! He has his own askblog here, @aster-stareater-of-andromeda

Asks are always open, but No Anon, sorry. For my own sanity, you understand. I don't bite. I make no promises about Aster, however...

You can send me questions, art suggestions, inquiries, etc. I am a certified yapper. I will divulge all my little thoughts to you, you need only to ask ^^

My current obsession is Warframe! You're welcome here, Tenno.

Commissions are open; inquiries can be sent to [email protected], as well as through Tumblr DMs using codephrase eclipse. You can also go through my Ko-Fi linked below for commission listings.

Fandom Tag Info: I tag certain characters on my reblogs of art and textposts that feel like their vibe into "Folders". For example, Lyon Allard from Warframe is tagged as #Lyon Folder & other corresponding tags. #Across The Drifterverse is others Drifters, #Oppies is others Operators.

More + DNI

I love getting asks and dms, and comment reblogs, I like to talk, BUT I do not respond to just a "hey", or "hi". Have a subject, please. I also will not post fundraising campaigns on this account, nor can I donate to anyone, so your asks, comments and DMs will be removed.

Mutuals can tag me in ask games, or just because! My asks are always open.

Basic DNI list, no bigots, no rightwingers. antis and baseless haters aren't appreciated and I will laugh you out of the park.

I'm proship, pro common-sense & yumeship heavy, and I support furries, kinnies and systems/folks with plurality so if you don't like that, there's the door. bye. People can do whatever they want forever, as long as it's not actually hurting real people, idc. Go read the internet manual again. People in their 30's and up are chill to follow me too, older folks don't make me uncomfortable at all, as long as you're nice! I have a lot of stamps under the cut, just so it'll be more mobile friendly. I love collecting stamps and blinkies and such ^^

Die temu ad die

necromancelena

Hmm. Accidentally looks like latin.

chef-boy-ar-girl

It accidentally is latin

saanah

Accidental latin is my new favourite thing.

santapau

Found this in the margins of a medieval manuscript.

qqueenofhades

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.

laurenthemself

how dare you say we error on the scribes

jtimu

this is what happens when you buy your latin on temu

Operator and Drifter!!

There's endless possibilites on why the Drifter decided to put the Operator in air jail.

*Crashes though the wall koolaid man style* HEL-LO!!!

I LOVE AND MISS YOU, MY TUMBLR MUTUALS AND KIND FOLLOWERS!

i am sorry for a lack of original content lately 😔 life is kicking my figurative boingloings in lately, between caregiving, dealing with my irl housing situation, as well as prepping for artfight, everything has been very hectic.

So, a little housekeeping. happy pride month! for some, it's mens mental health month (here, it's in november), and for many canadians and some americans, it's graduation month for HS students, and some folks are preparing for work, moving, university & college. many a well wish & blessings for this month for you & your kin regardless of your endeavors. Muuuah! 💕

Anyone waiting to hear from me, i apologize for my tardiness and will be with you more in depth soon.

we'll soon return to your regularly scheduled programming. Cheers, hang tight, and stay tuned!

never kill yourself. you have to fill your mutuals dash with shit they don't care about forever, okay?

spacemothsota

A traditional little art for myself! Well, happy birthday to me again! In honor of the fact that I'm now mostly drawing Warframe, I decided to draw my first Drifter. If you ask why she has such a weird pizza, Warframe players will remember Arthur's masterpiece dialogue about spaghetti cubes. I was talk this theme with friends, and we decided it would be super ironic if Drifter received a pizza with Zariman food cubes and Pizza from Hex for her birthday! Oh yes… the taste of true memories and wild giggles in Hex.

I'm planning on playing Warframe all day today, so if you'd like to help out in any way (like unlocking relics or farming resources, or anything else), I'd be happy to hear from you! My IGN is HoneySota.

mutuals can always dm me but be warned i talk like your coworker who is trying too hard to get to know you and my response times are akin to the response times you might get if we were communicating by letter

✶ PRIDE MONTH ✶

I'm kind of glad to hear that everyone does this. Because it means it isn't colonizer bullshit, it's what everyone does. It's just people discovering new things. Everyone goes:

"Oh hey these people have their own style of [language A's word for thing. Say, what do you call it?"

"Oh it's [language B's word for thing]."

"Got it, it's [language B's word for thing] variety [language A's word for thing]"

house-of-crows

added to which it is LITERALLY JUST LINGUISTIC SHORTHAND for

[item] the way [culture] makes it.

If you don’t want sliced bread, you want bread the way Eastern Indians make it you ask for Roti, not bread. Because Roti is bread THE WAY [EASTERN] INDIANS MAKE IT. Like fuck, it’s not that complicated a concept.

OF COURSE it’s not colonizer bullshit! It’s just linguistic shorthand!
