Indiana jones fic recs

In honor of the new movie (which I have seen twice already, and Love) here is a list of recs for you!

This list will include all ratings and tags, so read at your own discretion! :)

Willie Scott and the Accidental Child Acquisition by Tenillypo - Rated G

Willie Scott had a plan for her life. And then Short Round walked back through her door.

Tiamat and Abzu by Miggy - Rated G

Indiana Jones isn't made for paperwork.

Four Times Indiana Jones Almost Found An Artifact And One Time He Did by yaseanne - Rated G

It's hard out there for an archaeologist.

Raising Cain by Amilyn - Rated T

Running a Himalayan dive bar in the middle of a blizzard with no liquor would be easier than raising another Henry Jones.

Father and Son by Rodo - Rated G

Five times Indiana Jones didn't get along with his father and one time he did.

Anything Goes by afterism - Rated T

Willie Scott being born a boy doesn't change the world, but it changes Indiana's.

Musings of a Son by quoththeraven5 - Rated G

Indiana never wanted the grail, and he doesn't know why everyone thinks he does.

American dads. by outpastthemoat - Rated G

Indy had told him all about America during those long, hot days as they made their way to Delhi, spinning stories of his youth in New Jersey and New Mexico to Shorty on the voyage across the Pacific and during the plane ride from Chicago to Connecticut.  Indy had promised him all sorts of adventures in America.  Hot dogs and ice cream; fishing trips and camping.  And baseball.

The Secret Life of Archaeologists by CertifiedDiplodocus - Rated G

Indiana Jones has two lives, and one is not like the other. Sooner or later somebody's bound to notice.

ever since you pointed out that lady's anachronistic hairstyle in temple of doom I can't see past it lmao it's SO 1980s mom ffs

I KNOWWWWW

Like, what is this? What the hell is this? This is just eighties hair!

Y’know what? Here’s what her hair should’ve looked like. She was heavily inspired by Fay Wray in King Kong, so why not give her Fay’s hairstyle?

And there’s another scene— the very first scene— where I have an issue with her hairstyle. She’s performing in a nightclub (called Club Obi Wan, because George Lucas is a smug and pedantic motherfucker), and her hair looks like this.

Now, I’d like to take a moment to talk about this glamorous red and gold cheongsam. This was maybe my favorite costume in the movie— maybe my favorite costume in any Indiana Jones movie! Oh, just wait till you see the back.

But as lovely as this dress is, I just can’t get over that hairstyle! This is 1935, not 1953! Her hair looks like Lucille Ball’s!

Now, she’s a famous singer in Shanghai. So let’s see the hairstyle of another famous Chinese singer of the 1930s.

This is Zhou Xuan, one of my absolute favorite shidaiqu singers. Perhaps Willie could’ve worn her hair kind of like this?

The Diva and the Greaser - One works on paper the other gets a bad start

I mentioned in my last post that the real comparison is to be made between Willie and Mutt instead of Short round. Both these characters have a really good concept/archetype to them, they work really well on paper but ultimately are the two most hated in the franchise from what I’ve seen. I want to explore why and defend Mutt a little, he’s not near as bad as people say and really neither is Willie…if you squint.

So your Divas in the jungle-

I’m not here to refute any hate for Willie as I have a similar distaste for her, the absolutely ear piercing preformance takes away from what could be a very interesting character ( albeit far from the best in the franchise). No offense to the actress but my god was she annoying…which is what she’s supposed to be in the role but she was just a tad too much to the point she was to the audience.

Now the concept behind her is great! Take a stuck up, spoiled and gold digging show girl and drag her on an adventure through the jungle. Watch how she stands out. How she freaks out. How she screams and pouts and growls! That’s hilarious! Any fish out of water story where a pampered character gets dirt on them and a bit of grit is a fun time. A unwilling Indy girl who absolutely despises him yet can’t get away do to circumstance? Hello?!

I’ll also admit that in certain points in the film this great concept shines through. I love the scene with her and Indy being so stubborn neither go to the other and they just lie there complaining! That’s funny! Same with her chipping a nail and “I hate water, I hate getting wet and I hate you!!” “Good!” The anti-tension is so great, mutual loathing is fun. There’s these little moments , where her performance is subtler and the concept shines through…. It’s a shame that her screaming through the rest of the movie makes you forget that.

So your greaser has a heart-

I think Mutt is another great example of a character that’s fantastic on paper, and regardless I’d what you think of Shia he did a great job at portraying that. The bad is low… just don’t scream the whole time and be annoying. It is a real shame that this is the movie he appears in first, as that’s just not fair to him- the worst received of the films but he’s a great part of it (really the family dynamic is the star of the movie).

The concept behind him is also great. We see this kid who has a mountain of his own issues, who hides behind being a cool and slick gang member. He’s a tough guy, he don’t feel nothin’, don’t mess with him. As it goes on we see he’s quite the intelligent kid who likes to learn and knows more than he wants you to think. He’s a big ol’ softie and a mamas boy at heart. Kids brought out into the middle of the jungle only to find the man he loved and lost as a father is a step father and his real one was never in his life before now— that his mother never told him and things are complicated. Is he a bit of a well worn trope of “tough guys a softie”? Sure but I like the Not-so-twist- reveal of him being Indy’s son and the fallout that comes from that.

He’s a acknowledgement of the past- these things happened, there’s consequences (in this case its more unexpected pregnancy but you get what I’m saying). And the future. A gutsy kid to tell you that things aren’t over yet, giving the old man a boost back into adventure and reminding him of who he is.

Overall-

I think they’re both interesting examples of a character that’s a good idea but hit with bad luck. Either a annoyingly overdone performance or a weaker starting movie (mixed with actor irl drama I’m yet to understand). It’s a shame because Willie could’ve been great and Mutt was great but actor drama ruined his chances at a return.

3 sentence au

Willie gets the kid in the divorce, even though there’s no lawyers to sign the custody agreement and there’s no actual divorce; they never even managed to find the privacy to consummate the relationship during the journey between Pankot to Delhi, but the breakup’s one of the worst Indy has ever experienced in all thirty-odd years of his life, even though it would never work out—he and Willie would fight every day for the rest of their lives and they both know it.

But Willie wants the kid—hell, loves him even; Indy can see it in aboard the ship that carries them across the Pacific, the way she cradles Shorty’s head when he’s throwing up from seasickness, in the way she fusses over him during the flight from Honolulu; he’d assumed when he’d first met her that Willie was an entirely selfish creature, not a maternal bone in her body, but now Indy’s the one who’s fighting against his own selfish desire to be the one who gets to keep Short Round, even though his life expectancy’s grim and his chances for ever achieving tenure are grimmer; his sideline of treasure hunting doesn’t pay much—sometimes he doesn’t get paid at all—and he’s never at home, it’s no life for a kid and Indy knows it, so when the plane touches down in Chicago, he crouches in front of Shorty and hugs him tight, then he stands up and takes a step back.  

A kid deserves a mother, Indy reminds himself as he watches the way Shorty clutches at Willie’s hand when they leave to catch their flight to Shreveport, God knows what he’d give to have his own mother back; so when Shorty glances back at him, Indy forces a smile he doesn’t really feel, and raises his hand in farewell.
