what’s even better is that he DOES need glasses, he’s just half blind on his adventures and probably doing some awkward fumbling that we don’t see. if i saw my cute archeology professor half naked, half blind, and trying to use a whip as his main weapon, i’d also be turned off.
I think if indiana jones' adoring students ever went on an Adventure(tm) with him it would be really funny if that was the turn off. like, a routine dig he was leading for the school goes awry and he has to get all cocky gunslinger ladies man hero mode and the students are like. hey what the fuck. his shirt gets ripped up revealing he's jacked and that one girl is immediately wiping the 'I love you' make up off her eyes. an entire room filled with artifacts gets destroyed while they make an escape and the kids are all horrified. "professor jones. how many people have you killed" "well, do you count the damn nazis as people-" "UNFORTUNATELY YES. LEGALLY YES. ARE ALL ARCHEOLOGISTS MURDERERS." he's flirting with some random woman on the dig and all the students are like what the hell. you can't talk like that. where did the droning and stutter go. why are you not flustered. she inevitably swoons into his arms or something and they're like "oh my God eww he's so sweaty. ma'am literally what's wrong with you. blink twice if you need help". they're so betrayed to find out he never even NEEDED glasses, he was wearing nonprescription lenses in class. Indy's lowkey hurt he's like I thought you guys thought I was cool :( and they're like 'yeah when you're in a bowtie and telling us about sumarian gardening techniques. WHY do you have a whip right now you freak'
muppets war and peace where the only human is andrei
don’t worry everyone they worked it out!! :)
Sutton Foster as Svetlana and Josh Groban as Anatoly in the Actors Fund of America’s production of Chess (2003)
most of war and peace is just men creating issues for themselves while women suffer the worst horrors imaginable.
pierre is an interesting character ofc but sometimes he’s mentioned on his own and i’m like that’s nice… where’s natasha though…
Natasha, Pierre, and Andrei
Pierre after spending hours manufacturing a phrase to make his name equal 666 after also manufacturing a phrase to make napoleons name equal 666 which means it's his mission to kill napolean and that he's also somewhat responsible for what happened to the holy capital of Moscow
