For Indiana Jones

[marion-ravenwood-jones]

forever and ever and ever tired of the "they took Indy's happy ending away from him with the new movie" analysis like... don't you get it? life is full of grief and sorrow and tragedy but he wakes up and realizes there are still people who love him. people who care enough about him to tend to his wounds and bring him back and care about him. and Marion still loves him despite everything and she's there and he does have a family! it is cobbled together but he has it! it is a happy ending still. you have to see love when it comes to you despite the grief life weighs you down with that's the whole point............

“How are you dressing for Barbenheimer?” As Marion Ravenwood and yes I’ve already done that twice to see Dial of Destiny I don’t care

"Barbie" "Openheimer" No. Indiana Jones 5. Amen

I’m watching an $18 outdoor showing of Top Gun Maverick for free from my window rn and it’s about Indiana Jones bc I’m pretending Indy and Marion are watching No Time For Sergeants from a hotel that overlooks a drive-in while Mutt is watching an Elvis broadcast on the television in their room

You can make anything be about Indiana Jones if you’re bored and unhinged enough.

Shout out the 8-ish yo girl at the cinema coming to the new Indiana Jones movie with an Indie-like hat and a brown leather belt in her hand

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is and always will be the weakest of the four currently extant Indiana Jones films but I will say it’s kind of neat how it’s the only one you can confidently date to a narrow range of possible dates beyond just the year without reading the novelizations or any of the script drafts just based on real world historic nuclear testing in 1957. Which I’m about to get kind of needlessly into so I’ll put the rest of this under a read more:

There’s only nine tests as part of Operation Plumbbob (which by dint of being the series of nuclear tests that covered the summer and early fall of 1957 are the ones I am using as the basis of all of this assumption) that featured nuclear weapons being detonated on towers and only six of those were before the 1957-1958 school year rather than right at the ass end of the ‘56-‘57 school year or well into the first couple months. If you want to assume a time skip of a few months then the opening is anywhere from May 27 1957 to August 31 1957 (given the opening starts on an evening); however going by the franchise’s usual implied “Indy is back to the university within a week or two” it’s really narrowed down further to either August 18’s Shasta test or August 31’s Smoky. Maybe you can push it back to the Diablo test on July 15 or the Kepler test on July 24 if you want to assume that Marshall College has a relatively early school year start.

Kinda odd to realize that the upcoming Dial of Destiny is also going to be the only other one you can confidently date to a specific day thanks to it featuring the New York ticker tape parade for Apollo 11 which interestingly also makes for an August setting, and actually now that I think about it since said ticker tape parade was August 13 1969 that kind of retroactively makes for KotCS’s opening to be one of the July tests instead of one of the August tests unless the rumors about Indy now teaching at a third distinct college that he’s retiring from is true in which case I’m still going to assume Marshall College had a more typical mid-late August to early September academic year start rather than an early August one, unless whatever university stuff we see in DoD is meant to be summer courses which makes that issue moot anyway?

Sometimes a family is an 80 year old man, a crew of young sidekicks, international friends, a posh British man, a rekindled love, and James Bond.

And then she gives him the CUTEST LOOK like they are HEAD OVER HEELS for each other

Also reminder that in the 1944 flashback in Dial of Destiny, it’s briefly shown that INDY KEEPS A SMALL PHOTO OF MARION IN HIS BAG EVEN AFTER HE LEFT HER which just drives the point home even further I can’t-

You all are complaining a lot about Kingdom of the Crystal Skull when it gave us Indy x Marion endgame with THIS QUOTE :

Marion: I'm sure I wasn't the only person to go on with my life. There must have been plenty of women for you over the years.

Indy: Yeah. There were a few, but they all had the same problem.

Marion: Yeah? What's that?

Indy: They weren't you, honey.

The ROMANCE of two aging people who grew apart but chose to love each other again and never stopped loving each other ????

[marion-ravenwood-jones]

Is the new Indiana Jones movie good? Kind of a boring question tbh

Do I appreciate that Indy mentions continental drift given that it would've been a groundbreaking scientific breakthrough in 1969 (given that it was posited as a theory in 1967), subtly noting that he has been keeping up with the science of history and how geology is beginning to impact our understanding of the continents? Yes, yes I do

Do I REALLY appreciate how many Nazis get punched? Oh most certainly yes

I have come bearing canon-divergent Indy/Marion fanfiction that I wrote instead of making a PowerPoint presentation that I am supposed to have done in an hour 🙃 @oh-caro here I wrote one 😂

Addition to the Family

“Well,” Marion sighed, setting her breakfast plate on the table a bit roughly.

What did I do now? Indy wondered, glancing at the clock on the wall. What could I have done at 8:15 on a Saturday morning? “Well?” He asked without looking up from the paper he was grading, deciding to take the bait. He heard her rummaging through the contents of the fridge, likely searching for the orange juice he’d finished a few minutes before she’d entered the kitchen.

“Well,” she shut the refrigerator door with another sigh, “you’re a father, Indy.”

He chuckled and glanced at the adoption papers lying on the table that stated that Wan Li, or as Indy and Marion called him, Short Round was now legally their son. “Yeah, I’ve been a father for three days. I think he’s in the living room listening to The Burns and Allen Show,” he said casually, grinning and turning his attention back to the second of many papers he needed to grade before Monday.

After hearing nothing else for a few seconds, not even Marion’s footsteps, he stopped reading and furrowed his brow. That was it? No complaints or accusations? Is there something I missed? Indy replayed the interaction in his head a couple of times as he turned around to look at his wife.

She had her back against the refrigerator, her eyes closed and the base of her thumb pressing the arch of her eyebrow upwards, something she did when she was trying to clear her head. “You’re a father, Indy.” What is she—

A lightbulb switched on in his head as she opened her eyes and her tearful, blue eyes met his incredulous, hazel ones. She didn’t mean— He nearly knocked over his chair in bolting up from the table and gripping her arms. “Marion!” He yelled in surprise, evoking a small crooked smile from her. That was the reaction she’d been waiting for. “You’re pregnant?!” He asked just a little quieter, beginning to shake.

She nodded and softly replied, “I- I think so,” searching his eyes for the security that she was currently lacking. They hadn’t discussed having a baby, and she was entirely confident that neither of them had envisioned, or, if she were completely honest, wanted another addition to the family so soon after Short Round’s adoption had been made official.

Indy took both of her hands in his, gently rubbing the backs of hers with his thumbs. “Did the doctor tell you? How do you know?”

“I- said I think, Indy, it’s not- not for sure,” she stammered, only relaxing slightly under his touch.

He paused. “Marion,” his volume was significantly lower than before. “honey, what symptoms have you had?”

“I threw up this morning,” she told him simply, offering no further explanation or reasoning.

“Yeah, go on,” he prompted, now stroking her face with one hand and continuing to hold one of her hands in his other.

“Go on?”

“Well, there’s more, isn’t there?”

Marion furrowed her brow and stared at him.

Indy stopped his caresses. “You think you’re pregnant because you threw up once?!” He was growing irritated that she had nearly given him a heart attack over a claim she had practically no basis for. Sure, it was a possibility, but it had been for over a year now, and she hadn’t blamed anything like a headache or an upset stomach on that possibility before.

Marion ripped her hand out of his and shoved him away from her. “It’s more than that, I just know, Indy! You’re making me sound ridiculous!” She shouted, then whirled around and opened the refrigerator to find something to drink.

“Come on, maybe you just had too much to drink last night,” he offered, having had no intentions to belittle her. Marion crossed her arms and glared at him, and he realized how stupid of a comment that was since she could drink nearly anyone under the table. “Well, maybe not that,” he laughed in an attempt to lighten the mood. He was still irritated, but he didn’t want Short Round’s first Saturday as their son to be riddled with tension and frustration.

She closed the refrigerator with a prolonged, exasperated sigh and said nothing more. Indy eyed her as she retrieved her favorite whiskey from a cabinet, and she proceeded to remove the top with the intention of drinking directly from the bottle. “You know,” Indy said gently, bracing himself for the explosion that would most certainly follow his next statement, “if you’re so sure about this, why don’t you hold off on the drinking for some time?”

Glass shattered. “NO MORE DRINKS?!?!”
