When I Was A Kid I Didn't Understand The Blue Man Group Were Like, Performers, I Thought That's Just

phrases like "the house always wins" and "it's on the house" but used to imply that the building you're in is alive and personally invested in the situation

Tablet Theory: The exhibits don't actually get their historical figure's personality and memories, they get what the person who created them believes those memories and personality to be (or the more needlessly complicated but poetic version: they take on what museum visitors believe about them). This would only affect exhibits who were created by someone else, so it wouldn't apply to Ahk and his family (or Rexy/the other animals, but we wouldn't be able to tell either way).

This is how Teddy, who irl apparently said some fucked up things about Native Americans, was able to fall in love with Sacagawea. It could mean that mummy!Kahmunrah is more chill than wax statue!Kahmunrah. It could also solve the potential paradox of museum exhibits knowing things about themselves/their time periods that historians don't know (just ignore the end of NATM 1. It's my bedtime) and then sharing that with random people during the night program.

The way I'm explaining it being canonically stated (in the books I think) that the exhibits take on the memories and personalities of their irl counterparts is that that's from the perspective of Larry/Nick, who don't know that it's not quite right.

This fucks exponentially no more "good rep" I want exclusively bad evil metal hardcore rep

other fandoms can only dream of what the night at the museum fandom has. which is a pathetic man being picked up by the scruff of the neck like a cat onscreen.

like this.

behind every hot girl is a deep history with paramore

Sappy as it may sound, NATM’s message of “an interest in history makes it come alive” is brilliant.

You don’t need a magic tablet to bring museum exhibits to life. All you need to do is harbor an interest in the subject! Go visit your local museum, get books from your library, read about historical figures, and get involved in learning about different people and cultures.

The real magic is learning because that is what keeps history alive. And that’s the entire message of the NATM trilogy, which is something I find truly beautiful.

NATM

I want a relationship like whatever that cowboy and roman had going on in that one museum movie.

the children. they yearn for a monster of the week show

Wanted to draw this bit from the original script

tried thinking about the batfam timeline and how all of their ages work in relation to one another while falling asleep.

i am now wide awake. confused and enraged.
