With apologies to the entire archaeological community

I got to hold a 500,000 year old hand axe at the museum today.

It's right-handed

I am right-handed

There are grooves for the thumb and knuckle to grip that fit my hand perfectly

I have calluses there from holding my stylus and pencils and the gardening tools.

There are sharper and blunter parts of the edge, for different types of cutting, as well as a point for piercing.

I know exactly how to use this to butcher a carcass.

A homo erectus made it

Some ancestor of mine, three species ago, made a tool that fits my hand perfectly, and that I still know how to use.

Who were you

A man? A woman? Did you even use those words?

Did you craft alone or were you with friends? Did you sing while you worked?

Did you find this stone yourself, or did you trade for it? Was it a gift?

Did you make it for yourself, or someone else, or does the distinction of personal property not really apply here?

Who were you?

What would you think today, seeing your descendant hold your tool and sob because it fits her hands as well?

What about your other descendant, the docent and caretaker of your tool, holding her hands under it the way you hold your hands under your baby's head when a stranger holds them.

Is it bizarre to you, that your most utilitarian object is now revered as holy?

Or has it always been divine?

Or is the divine in how I am watching videos on how to knap stone made by your other descendants, learning by example the way you did?

Tomorrow morning I am going to the local riverbed in search of the appropriate stones, and I will follow your example.

The first blood spilled on it will almost certainly be my own, as I learn the textures and rhythm of how it's done.

Did you have cuss words back then? Gods to blaspheme when the rock slips and you almost take your thumbnail off instead? Or did you just scream?

I'm not religious.

But if spilling my own blood to connect with a stranger who shared it isn't partaking in the divine

I don't know what is.

adjacent advice: if you need more confidence, get a cool jacket or a haircut or something and think about how cool it makes you. this is loser advice, but we're all losers here. swallow your pride and roleplay as a cool guy and you'll become a cool guy.

#this feels like it applies to illinois #actually. #it’s yancy giving illinois a pep talk #from one loser (theatre kid) to another loser (history buff) #illinois jones #yancy amante #you can thank my bf for yancy’s last name #i must give credit where credit is due

[apollos-lyr3]

Yo take your time on updating. The real ones will wait patiently (probably not quietly, I’m chewing the bars on my enclosure tbh). Anyways you got this! Good luck since college started back <3

This is so sweet??? Thank you??? I’ll try to throw you scraps into your enclosure until I can finish the full chapter <3

Illinois only looks up and acknowledges Yancy again right when he’s about to walk off to do his work.

“Can you drive me to the airport?”

Yancy’s head whips around and he scoffs, “And get wrapped up in this mess? Youse crazy! No!”

“Please, Yance! You’re the only one that I’m telling about this! Mom and Dad would lose their minds and Indiana would lock me in a room until he got back!” The look on his face was nothing less than desperate.

“Maybe that’d be for the better! Illinois, youse don’t seem to understand just how insane this is!”

“Yancy, please.”

The motorcycle ride is a very tense one. Illinois’s arms are loosely wrapped around Yancy’s torso, and he can feel just how on edge and unhappy he is about this whole situation. He almost feels guilty and even considers telling him to drop him off at the next light and he’ll just get a cab instead.

Shiny new installment for you all on this fine evening! Happy reading!

‘you want to talk to god? let’s go see him together, I’ve got nothing better to do’ is an absolute steel cold way of letting someone know ur a crazy ass motherfucker. if u keep testing me I’ll kill us both rn what about it :)

#i still think about this #this also just makes me want to rewatch raiders now #indiana jones #also love that indy just goes into that mindset like midgrief. #bc he thought marion was dead and it was his fault. #just food for thought.

[apollos-lyr3]

A fake cover for the fic since AO3 doesn’t have a cover function (which is a SHAME). Me being allowed to have access to the Indiana Jones font is a mistake <3.

Read the fic here!

Please click for better quality, reblogs appreciated blahblah.

Summary:

“We didn’t think you’d want to follow Indiana’s exact footsteps, Henry. You can’t seriously be thinking of doing any of that,” his father’s gaze hardens slightly.

There’s a part of Illinois that knows his parents are only worried about him. Of course they are, that’s what parents do. Still, his blood runs a little bit hotter at the barely there insinuation that he couldn’t handle himself without help. He stares down at the table to keep himself from saying anything else.

“Henry, look at me,” Illinois begrudgingly makes eye contact with his father.

“Swear to me that you won’t go running off around the world and getting yourself in trouble until you graduate.”

“No promises.”

And our cast grows! Chapter 2 was unnecessarily fun for me to write.

Being in the Jones family comes with a curse, depending on who you ask. Almost every one of them with the name "Henry" ends up with an insatiable longing for adventure and an obsession with history to boot. If only Indiana could convince his nephew that his life isn't all it's cracked up to be.

Or

Illinois bothers Indiana perpetually with consequences only sometimes.

(Title from Vienna by Billy Joel.)

Here it is! Any and all feedback is welcome, I do hope at least someone out there will enjoy it as much as I do.

Welcome!

New blog time, I've decided to start writing a fic that's so self-indulgent and niche that it needs its own space.

I'll be posting about whatever fanfics or blurbs I have over here along with the links to the updates of said works! I will (hopefully) figure out a consistent schedule.

Where else can you find me?

Les Mis blog- @begay-startrevolutions

Art Blog- @mused-mercury

Instagram- same as here minus the dash

I'll mainly only be working on Ambitious for a Juvenile right now, so that's all this blog will be for the foreseeable future. I apologize in advance.

I hope you enjoy my cringe but free writings.
