#Night at the Museum

Hi natm fandom I'm still here. Living within your walls

[waggledoogledoggle]

Do I love the idea of Octavius and Jed finally get together and they try to be subtle about their relationship but fail so hard and everyone immediately knows? Yes yes I do.

Do I also love the idea that they aren’t actively trying to be subtle/hide it but because both their societies aren’t big on PDA there isn’t a real visible difference so they date for near a year before anyone figures it out? Yes, absolutely, I need more

Because, again, the Romans and the American West weren’t big on PDA at all, in fact it was considered quite scandalous in both societies. So when Jed and Octavius start dating, they aren’t all over each other, they aren’t cuddling during movie night, at most ever Jed will call Octavius ‘Spark’ and Octavius occasionally call him ‘carissime’. But because no one but the cowboys would know what calling someone your ‘spark’ means and no one- unless you spoke Latin- would know what ‘carissime’ means, on the outside, there is no visible difference.

What the difference is is now when they hang out one-on-one they call them dates, and on those dates is when they will do some romantic gestures, or hold hands, or kiss on cheeks, etc.

They aren’t actively trying to hide their relationship, they’re actually rather open. Like if you asked them, they would be like “yeah, we’re dating, we’re together” but no one ever does because the whole museum is just assuming that they’re both still just pining after each other because of things they do catch.

Like, Nick will catch how Jed looks at Octavius when he isn’t looking

And Ahk DOES know Latin, so he just assumes that Octavius is calling him this pet name/term of endearment in Latin purposefully so that Jed doesn’t catch on what he’s actually saying. (Jed is fully aware of what he’s he actually saying).

And it’s finally ‘revealed’ because they actually do some form of PDA in front of them (something like Jed learns how to say something sweet in Latin for Octavius and Octavius just goes ‘fuck it’ and kisses him, or Octavius tries to use cowboy lingo and Jed is like ‘he’s to cute to not do SOMETHING’) and everyone looses their shit and are like “Finally!” And Jed and Octavius are so confused “what do you mean ‘finally’ we’ve been together for a year”

and then they collectively loose their shit again

The undeniable urge to make a natm comic based around the adventures of the exhibits and each new one is based off of a vote (this might be an interest check in disguise so like vote pls!)

those fuck ass animatronics would not have stood a chance against this absolute god

[grim-vs-lizard]

[andysanimation]

Movie with a trash little little bb girl who is a man in his 30-40s who needs a job, and has a difficult relationship with his child/sibling. Then gets a job as a night guard and everything seems fine, until the night, when the inanimate objects come to live and get quirky. But eventually understand each other and team up to stop the bigger evil.

i think my favorite thing about tumblr is its vague appreciation of the night at the museum movies

ive never seen anyone on my dash say theyre bad or heard anything negative, i either see the gay little cowboy and his roman boyfriend or i see people talking about how the security guard would be great in five nights at freddys

never overwhelming praise or hatred, just a perfect balance of appreciation as if everyone has seen them and just thinks theyre neat

rewatched the night at the museum trilogy in one night for the plot

[ilikebooksmoviesseriesandanime]

Yes

[redandbluegaycompetition]

All pairings were submitted! Here are some submitter notes:

Red/Blue (Time War):

oh the whole book is about how gay they are. it's about letters they write to each other fighting on opposite sides of a war to control the stream of time and every timeline and iirc by the end they fight against both sides of the war to carve out a space for themselves

Jedtavius:

the actors played them as if they were a married couple. and jed quoted brokeback mountain
