They're all on a family plan

My highly respected NatM nation, I just remembered a fic idea that I've been carrying in my head for a very long time, and I'd like to share it with you 🤵

The actions take place after the events of the third movie; Tilly breaks up with her idiot boyfriend and somehow, while in New York, receives a package with a gift from him as a sign of apology. She brings a gift to the workplace at the Museum of Natural History, and it turns out that the gift is earrings in the form of tiny cupids.

Being clueless, she starts doing some business before all the exhibits come to life, and she accidentally misses the moment when the tablet's magic comes into action. Her earrings, laying in the box on the desk, come to life and cause complete chaos in the museum

Their first target is the Roman diorama. Jedtavius stuff is happening next.

Dunno if it sounds good or anything, but I know one thing for sure: this lazy ass creature ain't writing this fic. Because she's too lazy. Have a good day y'all

I had a vision Joan style

[secretly-larry-daley]

Fuck it, Larrycule

But instead it’s just Larry simping over British people. McPhee? Lancelot? Tilly? Fucking all of them. Whether they like him back is subjective (yes they do) but all I know is that he’s like this

But the British flag

[wonderlands-ass]

CAN WE GIVE SOME LOVE TO OTHER CHARACTERS THAT AREN'T JEDTAVIUS!?!?

Don't get me wrong I love Jed and oct but every time I go to the natm tag on Tumblr, it's JUST jedtavius.

There are other characters that are just as good as them that just get completely forgotten by like everyone.

Here's my list of characters that shouldn't be forgotten cause they are fucking awesome:

(who in my opinion hardly get ANY recognition)

Atilla

Lancelot

Custer

Sacagawea

Al Capone, Napoleon, Ivan, Kah (my faves 💕)

Ahk's parents (come on they could be such gold in fanfics)

Laa

McPhee (!!!!!!!!!!)

Tilly

Don (I just love him okay)

Old fuckers in natm 1 ( Fredericks, Regenald and Gus)

NATM as pictures I found on Pinterest: Part 3 (Secret of the Tomb edition)

Ahkmenrah at random throughout the whole movie:

Attila @ that ice dolphin:

Larry walking in on Nicky’s party:

Jed and Octavius after finally identifying the land they stand on as Pompeii:

Larry @ Lancelot when he starts monologuing and offering to escort them all:

Merenkahre when Larry won’t kiss his staff:

Tilly with her hammer (for “minor repairs and beautifications around the shack”):

Lancelot when he figures out he’s wax:

Larry and Dexter:

Lancelot:

Ahkmenrah because of, you know, everything:

Jed and Octavius getting saved by Dexter in Pompeii:

Larry @ Lancelot when he demands the tablet:

Jed and Octavius when they see Lancelot running away with the tablet:

What Laa was trying to say in that office:

Nicky in all his early 2010’s edgy teenager glory:

Lancelot when everyone tries to explain that there is no Camelot, that tablet is not the Holy Grail, that he is made of wax and that if he doesn’t turn the tablets middle piece they’re all gonna die:

Ahkmenrah’s parents when he does anything (me too guys):

Hello my dear precious NatM fellas, time for some silly polls

I'm personally quite fond of Larry/Tilly (damn they kinda....fit each other? idk), Jed/Lancelot, and Oct/Amelia. Tbh I kinda like all of those but ok whatever

[r-ya-fruity]

More NatM Infection Au

Since I don't exactly know what to do plot wise, I just transferred the writing I did from before and improved on it. I know I definitely need to work more on their personalities BUT this is what I have so far!

Larry, Tilly and Dr. McPhee. Idk if I mentioned this but this takes place after the third movie where the British Museum still has Ahkmenrah at the Museum of Natural History n such, lol.

*nlinks innocently*

What were jed and octavius looking at on the computer?

[fflewddur-feanorion]

I watched NATM 3 (and cried for 20 minutes.) Here's Tilly practicing her makeover skills on Lancelot!

[creative-soul-22]

I watched all 3 Night at the Museum movies!

1. I liked all 3 movies, they were all good!

2. They were all really funny, I laughed a lot!

- Favourite movie:

Hard to tell, but I maybe the second one. Yeah I guess I liked that one best.

- Favourite Character(s):

Jedediah! He's such a cool cowboy and such a buddy you could hang out and really have a good time with him. He's def the one who invites his friends to the saloon (imagine him and Octavius at the Saloon). And of course, I know he hates it (sorry, Jed) he's tiny and cute and I would totally cuddle and kiss him and adore him because he's a small figurine! (@professional-termite would snatch him and run away because tinyyyyy boiiii)

Very close second is Akmenrah! He is a very distinguished, elegant son of a pharao and he is really kindhearted. I like him.

Teddy Rosewelt! He is so caring and such a father to everyone it's heartmelting. Robin Williams, may he rest in peace, was the perfect cast for him because, well, that's how I always saw Robin Williams. As a loving, caring father who encourages others and wants to make everyone feel special and who is there for others when they have a problem (maybe because he was always casted for these roles?).

- Favourite relationship(s):

Larry's and Jedediah's friendship! They are such bros and they really care for each other, it's so cute!

Jedediah's and Octavius' friendship! I know you ship them, and I totally understand why. I see it. But for me it's more like Jed and Octavius ARE a little in love with each other, and maybe would want to make out BUT also don't want to change their relationship so they decide to be bros. It's bromance. Brotherhood with a romantic touch (That's just how I see it please don't kill me!!!).

The exhibits and Larry growing to a big found family!

- What I liked:

The opening scene of Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb

How natm 3 adressed the "returndiscussion" (as we call it in Germany). It might never went beneath the surface (which is indeed a bit of a pity but it's okay), but still it adressed and paid attention to it. And that's important because this has become a thing for museums nowadays (gonna put this in a seperate post for further discussion/explanation)

The whole lore/story arch about the tablet

Jed and Octavius in Pompeii (I just wish it wouldn't have been by the time it went down because they were finally in a place in the right size for them and they would have really enjoyed Roman citylife, especially Octavius, he almost felt home there)

The opening show for the new planetarium because it's magical (I just wish it wouldn't have been interrupted by the tablet loosing it's magic causing everyone to glitch)

Amelia Earheart's adventurous spirit (she's just an AU Giselle, not only, but mostly because it's Amy Adams)

Abraham Lincoln (I wish he and Teddy had met!)

Dick van Dyke! It's always a pleasure seeing him so this was a nice surprise. Pretty sure it was the best day of their life for the residents of the retirement home when Dick van Dyke came in to dance with them to "Shake your booty".

Everytime Dexter was cute with Larry or anyone else (hugs!!)

Akmenrah's mum, she is pretty

Ben Kingsley playing Akmenrah's dad (that wasn't the only time Ben played a pharao, right? He played a pharao in another movie? Can't put my finger on it rn)

Akmenrah being together with mumy and daddy after 4,000 (?) years

All 3 movies ending with a party - creates a full circle

The Night at the Museum main theme (epic!)

The little bird-thingy before the xiangliu (forgot it's name but it's cute)

Somebody listening to Abba's Dancing Queen on the bus

Jed and Octavius using the internet/phones (the machine for the comments! Commentmachine!)

- What I didn't like:

Everytime Dexter was peeing on somebody/something (Ewwww!)

Everytime Dexter was mischivious

The way the museum director was depicted (seriously, what was that? Messiest character arch ever - if there even WAS a character arch?)

The solution to the problem with the tablet (for real guys that thing looses it's magic and all it takes to fix is to put it in MOONLIGHT?! Okay then how about you put it on the roof of the museum like a solar panel so it can charge like a glow in the dark sticker everytime the moon shines on a starry night?)

The museum director holding the tablet at the end of natm 3 whilst grinning like Dexter (seriously, after what we've seen from him, he knows what the tablet can do - which is no longer in HIS museum - and you're telling me he's not up to SOMETHING?? I'm not buying it.)

The tablet staying in the British Museum (I know they want Akmenrah and his parents to be together and I really like it BUT how do you explain this to the Museum? "Oh, we're leaving the mummy and it's tablet here, you know, the mummy's their son so we think it's nice for the family to be united. They might be very precious artefacts but we'll present them to you. You can have them.")

The ceremony being interrupted by the corroding tablet which caused the exhibits to glitch (this was the ONLY! moment of glory for Larry and the exhibits in public and it turned into a disaster - heartless filmmakers!)

Tilly's and Larry's cringey talk when we first meet her (annoying! Also, her name is Tilly... Jennifer Tilly namedrop here!)

Jed being picked up like a kitten (ruuuude!! And humilliating!)

- What I found hilarious:

The notion of dinosaurs just being doggos who want to catch sticks might not be historically accurat but it's totally funny

The cuts everytime Jed and/or Octavius did something epic to demonstrate how small they actually are (although it's a bit rude)

Octavius in the pillory and Jed watching it like "ooh"😎 by the time the sun has come up so they stand there until the sun goes down

Abraham Lincoln snatching Kamunrah's army as if they were pigeons and them disapearing to where they came from just like "Nah. We're out."

Jed in the cage like a little birdy (although I feel sorry for him but he looks just like a little titmouse in there - yeah, @professional-termite : snatched again!!)
