Halo Master Chief In Aztec Mythology Art Ancient Pre-Hispanic Civilization Design Mayan Deity Culture Artwork Old Religious Symbolism vinyl sticker / printed vinyl decal

Gather ’round, my darlings, for I’ve got a tale that’ll make your imagination soar to the stars and beyond! Picture this: nestled deep within the verdant jungles of the Yucatan Peninsula, there lies a hidden temple, its weathered stones whispering secrets of a bygone era. It’s here, in this sacred place where time seems to stand still, that our story begins.

Legend has it that once upon a time, when the realms of gods and mortals intertwined like threads in a cosmic tapestry, the great Mayan deities convened to forge an alliance with a celestial warrior unlike any other. And who might this enigmatic figure be? None other than the indomitable Master Chief himself, clad in armor that gleamed like the stars and wielding a weapon of unfathomable power.

But how, you ask, did this meeting of minds transpire? Ah, my sweet gossip-seekers, that’s where the magic truly begins. For you see, as the gods peered into the swirling mists of time, they glimpsed a future where technology and myth converged in a dance of destiny. And thus, they beckoned forth the Master Chief from his far-off realm, bridging the gap between past and future in a single, glorious moment.

Now, picture the scene: amidst the flickering torchlight and the hum of ancient incantations, Master Chief stands tall, his presence a beacon of hope in a world teetering on the brink of chaos. With a nod of solemn respect, he accepts the mantle of guardian, sworn to protect the sacred lands of the Maya from all manner of otherworldly threats.

And so, dear friends, it came to pass that the image of Master Chief became enshrined in the annals of Mayan mythology, a symbol of courage and resilience for generations to come. And as for our vinyl sticker, well, it serves as a portal of sorts – a glimpse into a realm where ancient gods and futuristic heroes walk hand in hand, bound by the unbreakable bonds of legend and lore. So stick it on with pride, my darlings, and let the magic of the ancients weave its spell wherever you may roam!

Me: I shouldn't disturb Neil Gaiman. I shouldn't send an ask unless I really have no way of getting the information otherwise. I'll check old interviews and all the articles that vaguely mention the subject. Of course it goes without saying that I'll read though the FAQ in its entirety. Only then, will I send an ask. However, I'd be very polite and praise his work, as anyone would. I'd also keep it short, because I don't want to waste his time. But I'd keep it very very respectful. I'd be sending a message to a very talented, amazing author that deals with god knows how many like me. Or I'd just stay in the dark and not send him an ask. Yeah, I'll do that.

I love dinosaurs as much as robots. It is very funny to me when ppl freak out about their childhood icons having feathers maybe.

But it is actually more boring if they are all just like Hollywood imagined.

Something I noticed in the Dungeon Meshi anime that passed me by in the manga is how Marcille's instructions to Laios in using magic are exactly what you'd expect from someone who has been studying it academically for god knows how long.

Her preparations for teaching him were coming up with/remembering the speech about feeling the mana flowing through your body, and picking out the right spell. But she glossed over the things that wouldn't concern someone who is extremely experienced in healing magic:

How awkward it is to lay hands on someone in order to cast a healing spell

MANA SICKNESS, which apparently happens to everyone when they first cast a spell

And it's not like she completely forgot that they're a thing, but it wasn't part of what she was planning on teaching, because everyone already knows that, right? So Marcille just brushes past it, like "oh yeah duh, that's a thing, anyway-".

I love it, perfectly in-character. She's an academic!

Why I love Rojka 'Kasaan (and you should, too)

If Master Chief blew up a Covenant homeworld, you might look at him differently. You might consider civilian casualties and the cruel calculus of war and wince. His story helpfully side-steps this issue by making it so that it simply never happens. Humanity never found Covenant homeworlds during the war soon enough to target them. Until Glyke.

If we expect cooperation and remorse from ex-Covenant who destroyed human worlds, what do we expect from a Sangheili fleetmaster whose own world was destroyed by Spartans? That's Rojka's story.

Rojka was once a fleetmaster, but was demoted after the Changing of the Guard, sent to a shipyard to repair ships rather than command them. As a result, he was not present for the attack on Reach or the assault on Earth.

When Reach fell, Spartan-II Gray Team was granted permission to target and destroy Covenant homeworlds in what was clearly an act of retaliation. They were cleared to destroy the Sangheili colony Glyke before comms were lost with ONI. Unbeknownst to them, the human-Sangheili ceasefire was initiated just before they decided on destroying the planet, effectively betraying the fresh alliance between humans and Sangheili. Rojka, a Glyke native, lost most of his family.

During the Great Schism, Rojka sided with Thel 'Vadam and the Covenant separatists, taking control of the fleet that he'd been tasked with repairing. Rojka was realistic. Like so many, he faced a crisis of character when he lost his religion. He worried for his species' future and longed for direction. He understood that the Sangheili needed to be allies with the humans to survive. To this end, he learned to tolerate them. But not the Spartans that ruined his life.

Rojka isn't anyone special. He's no Thel 'Vadam, with wealth, influence, and his family behind him. He's no Usze 'Taham, with old-world faith and an impressive pedigree. He could probably be most closely compared to Olabisi Varo'dai, except that she lost her home at the hands of a Covenant accident and not a UNSC attack.

Rojka is a refugee. Anyone in his life who didn't happen to be off-world when the nukes detonated was dead. The fleet he used to have was down to a skeleton crew. But Thel 'Vadam still asked him to lead the refugees to a new world that they called Rakoi. They started to rebuild, with Rojka becoming the kaidon of Rak, the Sangheili capital (nerd sidebar for those who care: I believe he was more accurately the high kaidon). He grows to love his new home, with one complicating factor: unbeknownst to them, Rakoi was originally called Carrow, a human colony that evacuated during the war. When the dust settled, the humans returned to find their new neighbors.

There's irony somewhere in Thel asking Rojka to do something he would never ask of a human: to set aside his anger at losing his homeworld and work peacefully with the people who took it from him. It's something that Thel hopes for, but when humans continue to hate him, he doesn't blame them. But he expects more from Rojka, and Rojka, who is concerned about maintaining support from Sanghelios, is caught in the politics. He agrees to maintain peace with the humans, which leads to a civil conflict led by his own cousin, who disagrees with making peace.

As part of this agreement, he is introduced to the UNSC Diplomatic Corp envoy Melody Azikiwe. At first, he resents her presence, thinking of her as a meddler and someone whose skills were ultimately useless. He considers humans to be a necessary evil rather than allies. He does not believe diplomacy is truly possible, and thinks Melody weak for talking instead of fighting. But when a two-front war breaks out on Carrow and Melody awakens Gray Team to assist, his resolve is shaken. Over and over again, he's reminded of how much both humans and Sangheili have suffered.

Eventually the civil conflict escalates to a point where the entire planet is in danger, and he has no choice but to accept help from the Spartans. The decision to destroy Glyke without clear orders was a contentious one for the team, which broke them once they realized what they'd done. In their own way, they try to make amends with Rojka.

In the end, it's not ships or soldiers who overcome the conflict, but people. Regular people, talking their way out and through problems. Rojka begins to realize the importance of jobs like Melody's and that there are better ways to solve problems than separating heads from necks (although he does do that, too). Having decided to set aside his anger with Gray Team, he returns home to Rak to rebuild. When he gets there, he learns that another kaidon has risen to power in his absence, usurping his title. In what is, in my opinion, his greatest moment of growth, Rojka accepts the new power structure without argument.

I can't overstate how unusual this is. Few things are more important than power and pride are to Sangheili culture. Many Sangheili prefer to die than admit to being injured. They prefer to be killed rather than captured. The most honorable way to replace a kaidon is a battle to the death. But Rojka is tired. He wants to go home. He agrees to be an envoy for Rak, having grown to appreciate the power of diplomacy.

Growth!!!!!! That's growth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
