#personal fallen london#sure they can't all be winners but#okay I'm ranting here#why does every mention of mayan mythology always have to be about the stupid ritualistic sacrifice thing?#basically everyone lost the right to talk about the ritualistic sacrifice thing AGES ago.#drop it#this seems like the writer 'researched' by going through wikipedia or maybe the top five google results#with a whole giant heap of confirmation bias#less making sure they understood the mythology and more looking for 'authentic' words to decorate what they'd already decided was#going to happen#which is pretty unfortunate#I thought Jaguar was going the be the alternate choice to the Emissary for like one slide there and NOT in a#'ohoho give into the evil racist caricature priest-kings' sort of way#but more in a valor and wit sort of way#like idk Jaguar didn't have to be NICE but they're the Jaguar! There's so much to them!#the sun in the underworld! the moon! fire (vs the water imagery maybe)! fierce courage!#there's so much to them I thought there'd be something more is all#we're in xibalba where is the outwitting of the gods' cruel and petty plans!#anyway I was wrong#also so much of this story just. didn't make a lot of sense.#I'm still not 100% clear what actually happened#but idk maybe I was distracted by my growing 'oh they really went there with this' unease to give my undivided attention to the narrative#*scrubs face*#ugh#rant done
