can you seek adventure & truth, lara croft? she supposes the answer is better asked; are they exclusive of one another? he inspires you. what is truth & what is yours can be adventure in itself. remember; tell stories, they needn’t all be yours & in fact, at times, it’s more fun when they aren’t.
“ i don’t think i’ve ever seen you this excited, “ it had promise. her eyes simmer in the dimly lit passage way, hands skirting against the sides of the passage as she follows almost exactly in his footsteps ( cautiously, considering the state of the venus fly-trap like metal contraptions obstructing a straight-forward entrance ).
“ the lost hall of records– shawky, you found it? “ not a single archaeologist had found evidence of it but here they stood, dust encroached & breathing amongst mythic history. the treasure is always records. it is never gold, it is never silver or precious stones; no ore, no preserve but history written in ink. but this wasn’t why he was excited. she tries to follow his the jitter of such joviality, still peering with curiosity in express & bright in the warm complexion of her features. look around. take it in. no one has been here in hundreds of years.
❝ CAN YOU BELIEVE IT ? ❞ his trembling , exhilarated voice echoes somewhat through the cavernous room , catching the attention of a few fellow explorers down below . some wave up at them from their posts , gazes abandoning the relics and records to acknowledge shawky and lara’s triumphant arrival . ❝ it was a MESS getting into this place , of course . always is . but we had the approval and help of the department of antiquities here in egypt —— everything was done by the book . MOSTLY . ❞ shawky gestures to the pathway leading down into the depths of the room , offering his arm or hand to lara if she needs help with balance ( when really , it’s clumsy shawky who needs the assistance ) . ❝ traps were extreme . puzzles were complicated . wish you’d been here to help , honestly . ❞ shawky beams over at lara as they make their way down . ❝ you would have seen me trip at least seven different times . quite the sight . nearly broke my glasses . ❞

hi all, palestine’s going through a mass genocide right now and really needs help, here are a few ways you can do that
palestine children’s relief fund: provide urgent humanitarian care for children in gaza
anera: provide on-the-ground emergency relief
medical aid for palestinians: emergency relief for women and children, psychosocial support, disability help, other medical needs
doctors without borders: medical teams on the ground treating injured palestinians as needed
feel free to add on in the notes, notify me if any of the fundraisers listed arent necessary/actually helpful to donate to, and let me know if anything needs added on/modified
as always, if you cant donate then please share and spread awareness
UPDATE: this post has been edited to remove an organization by the UN (details in reblog by @petite-elf )
UPDATE: companies to boycott have been added due to the direct harm they cause towards palestinians (c. @/sleepallsummer, letstalkpalestine on instagram)
Caterpillar: Caterpillar bulldozers are regularly used in the demolition of Palestinian homes and farms and in Israel’s massacres in Gaza
HP: Hewlett Packard helps run the ID system that Israel uses to restrict Palestinian movement
Puma: Puma sponsors the Israel Football Association, which includes teams in Israel’s illegal settlements on occupied Palestinian land.
SodaStream: SodaStream home drinks machines are one of Israel’s best known exports.
Ahava: Ahava cosmetics are another of Israel’s best known export companies.
Sabra: Sabra hummus is a joint venture between PepsiCo and the Strauss Group, an Israeli food company that provides financial support to the Israel Defense Forces.
Motorola: Provides Israeli military, police, prisons and immigration authority with communication technology

❝ HERE —— HERE !! JUST DOWN THIS WAY . ❞ he’s convinced lara to meet him in egypt , and now he’s guiding her down winding tunnels meticulously carved into the rock . they slip past dozens of already-sprung traps ( he won’t go into detail about them and the chaos they caused ) , further down into the catacombs of hidden passageways , until , like a great , rejuvenating gasp of air , the walls widen into a vast space . before them , deep beneath the sands and stone of the great sphinx of giza , a giant room . hundreds of ancient scrolls covered in dust . relics , statues , carvings , coins . a most miraculous sight , the room littered in other archaeologists and excavators all working on the find .
shawky turns to his friend , the biggest smile on his face . it’s clear he’s never been happier . ❝ FOUND THIS LAST WEEK . welcome to the lost hall of records , lara . there’s something i need to show you . ❞
