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'

This illustration for The Nine Pea-hens and the Golden Apples from Lang's Violet Fairy Book absolutely delights me.

Just look at it! This scene is described in the text as "out flew a dragon, who snatched up the empress just as she was returning from her walk, and carried her off". But later in the story it turns out this is one of those fun Eastern European dragons (Serbian in this case) who, while definitely being a dragon, also lives in palace and rides horses. So clearly illustrator Henry Justice Ford went "well he may be a dragon, but he's also a gentleman".

And in consequence this woman looks less like she's being abducted (which she definitely is in the story, she used to keep that dragon imprisoned in her cellar) and more like she's leaving a noisy party with her grumpy introvert boyfriend.
