Re: Myrkul
I'm finally seeing more of this film about summoning their own death
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aztec_death_whistle
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whistle_(2025_film)
, sort of like a zillion other films and at least one character I can't understand what they are saying.
I've noticed horrific pronounciation and elocution and barely audible whispering, increasingly in films starting maybe 10 or 15 years ago but getting consistently worse, besides being very visibly dark to the point of being practically colorless and only little fragments of visual information on the screen, even if supposedly lots of extra work was put in, it just doesn't show up in the final images. Movies much older look so amazing in comparison, now even the ones I used to consider pretty ugly from the 2000s even seem so much better than what a lot look like now, coupled with the mumbling, lol, it is like being nearly blind and deaf and even not knowing the language and in a dark place, and it is pretty depressing since I like cinema and cinematography, but wow, just everything connected to U.S.A. standards and mainstream seems to have gone way downhill and people need to either go back to older things or completely move away from following their output and quality levels which are terrible now, with no sign of heading anywhere better, only apparently getting worse every year.
The people making these films seem to have no interest in any sort of art or being creative or artistic, they really don't care and it is palpable apathy verging on malice or spite, like why not give people a good product at least?

Xian ling and shen
edit
It is the state or power of gods and divine beings (shen) that is multiplied by their appearance in vision during trance or by location through a ritual of inspiration into the objects that represent them.[2][1] Their activity, actuality, is xian ling, literally "holy virtue, sacred efficacy, the sacred as manifest", or numen. Ling is a power, like that of the uncanny intelligence of great masters of building or of healing, and is a divine reciprocation for offerings and pledges of devotion to a deity or demon.[2]
Mediation of yin and yang
edit
It is the inchoate order of creation, that is the "medium" of the bivalency constituted by the opposite forces of the universe (yin and yang).[3] Ling is the mediating bivalency, the "medium", between yin and yang, that is "disorder" and "order", "activity" or "passivity", with yang usually preferred over yin.[3] More specifically, the ling power of an entity resides in mediation between the two levels of order and disorder, activity and passivity, which govern social transformation.[4] The mediating entity itself shifts of status and function between one level and another, and makes meaning in different contexts.[4]
Liminality
edit
Ling has been described as the ability to set up spatial and temporal boundaries, represent and identify metaphors, setting apart and linking together differences.[5] The boundary is crossed by practices such as sacrifice and inspiration (shamanism).[5] Spiritual mediumship makes the individual the center of actualising possibilities, acts and events indicative of the will of the gods.[5] The association of ling with liminality implies the possibility of constructing various kinds of social times and history.[6] In this way, the etho-political (ethnic) dimension is nurtured, regenerated by re-enactment, and constructed at first place, imagined and motivated in the process of forging a model of reality.[6]
This attribute is often associated with goddesses, animal motifs such as the snake—an amphibian animal—, the owl which takes night for day, the bat being half bird and half mammal, the rooster who crows at the crack between night and morning, but also rivers dividing landmasses, and other "liminal" entities.[4] There are yin gods and yang gods.[7] Ling is a "cultural logic of symbolic relations", that mediates polarity in a dialectic governing reproduction and change.[8]
