Potentially MAJOR spoiler for death in Domina S2 found in trailer

Watching the Italian trailer for S2, we see a shot of Illus and Julia drowning a woman. I was looking at the casts instagrams earlier, and immediately noticed that the woman they were drowning was wearing an incredibly similar outfit to one worn by Hannah Chinny, Antonia, on her instagram.

Not only does the outfit match, but so does the head piece, bracelet, and sandals.

Why would Julia and Illus want to kill Antonia? I don’t know. I imagine it has something to do with Domitius. With the way they both know how abusive Domitius has been to Antonia, they may feel that she will eventually crack under the torture and tell him that Illus was the one having the affair with Julia.

If this is actually true, I feel so sad for Antonia 😭😭 What do you guys think?

My theory on how the tablet works!

I’ve been thinking about the tablet a lot (as one does), and I believe I’ve cracked the code.

This is going to be long, buckle up.

So we know from the 3rd movie it's blessed by Khonsu and activates under the moonlight, needed to be exposed to moonlight every so often to retain its power. The fact it's been blessed by a god implies that the Egyptian gods and their realms actually do exist in this universe. We know there's an underworld because Kah tried to open it up in the second movie. Weather other pantheons exist is unknown, but the Egyptian one absolutely does in this universe.

Since the is an underworld and thus an afterlife, I think that the tablet works by placing the soul of a person/being into the object it's bringing to life.

The whole reason the tablet was created was so Ahk and his parents could be together forever even after death, the whole point of it is to resurrect the dead. So the enchantment is one that takes the soul of a dead being and places it back into the body as long as it's nearby enough to the tablet, and under the light of the moon/ charged with the moon. I do find Khonsu an odd choice for resurrection magic, since he's not really a death god. But he is a moon god and watches over night travellers, both living and dead. So the fact the tablet brings the beings back to life at night checks out.

1. What can come to life?

We also know that objects that aren't a corpse like Ahk can be animated. Like the minis and wax figures. Not just people but animals like Dexter and Rexy. So I think the rule there is that as long as it resembles a living being, real or mythical it can come to life.

2. Who can come to life and how?

If the figure represents a specific person (Teddy, Sacajawea, Atilla etc) the tablet will place that persons soul into the figure and that person will come to life with the memories, personality etc if that person carried by the soul.

If the figure doesn't represent a particular person, the tablet will find a soul that somewhat matches the figure and use that. Like the minis. Because let's be honest there's no way the museum named every single mini and modelled them all after real people. So the tablet saw a figure of a Roman general, found the soul of Gauis Octavius who was a known Roman general and placed his soul in the figure. It saw a cowboy, and picked a soul from that same area and time period to place into the figure. The real Jedediah was actually a mountain man, but mountain men and cowboys are similar enough the tablet made that figure Jedediah Strong Smith anyway.

In the case of animals, the same rule applies. If the figure represents a particular animal (like the space monkey Abe from the second movie) it'll put that soul in the figure. If it's just a random animal it'll just put a random animals soul that matches the species and time period.

And in the case of mythical creatures, it'll create a kind of puedo-soul to fill it. Lancelot isn't actually a real person, but it is likely he was inspired by real people. So the tablet saw a figure meant to be lancet and took the soul of a knight that inspired Lancelot, made some tweaks and put it into Lancelot figure. And with creatures like the giant snake thing (I can't remember the name) from the third movie it did something similar, taking several snakes souls and giving each head one of them. Similarly, the Anubis-Jackal guards that protect Ahkmenrahs exhibit are probably pseudo-souls created using warriors/guards and jackals. Made with the intent to protect Ahkmenrah and his belongings.

With the artworks, it again depends on who or what the art is depicting. If it's just a scenery, it'll simply open up a kind of pocket dimension (like the ones Larry jumped through in the 2nd movie) that resembles the scenery.  If it's depicting a real person, it'll put that persons soul in. If it's depicting random people it'll place a soul from the time period in. As well as creating a pocket dimension of that place and time for the people to exist in.

Like the the photo of the solider kissing the nurse, it took a the souls of people from the time period and placed them into the photo. In the case of this particular photo, the subjects in the picture are unknown although some contenders exist, and are still alive. So the tablet kinda just took a random set of souls from the time and shoved them in, the man being kissed in this tablet pocket dimension photo ended up being Joey Motorola who was one of the people who invented the mobile phone. Larry accidentally created a time anomaly that day, when he dropped his phone in the painting and Joey picked it up, reverse engineering it to make the phone.

Btw Joey is played by Jay Baruchel, who is the voice of Hiccup and I can't ever un-hear him as Hiccup from my HTTYD days. So when he talks in the movie I was all "omg hiccup?"

Anyway-

3. How real are the living figures?

We know they can be hurt, as when Jed and Octavius were still in their enemies phase of their enemies to lovers arc, they whack each other up and react in pain. We also know they can eat and drink, since there's a set of advertisement skits for the 3rd movie that shows them eating and drinking. For people like Ahk, real corpses reanimated it'd simply just be their bodies reanimating and the tablets magic allowing them to function. In cases where they're missing organs, like Ahk being mummified as thus having his organs taken out or, being made of wax etc and not having organs, the tablet with simulate them. Allowing them to eat, drink, get tired and out of breath after running etc.

So yes, that means you could probably do the no pants dance with one of the exhibits because they'd have simulated organs.

But, they can't die. Not unless the tablet does. We see them start to loose life in the 3rd movie. Ahk stars to mummify and the others start to act up and freeze. But we know they can't die any other way because Teddy literally got chopped in half in the first movie and was able to just melt some wax to put himself back together. Jed and Octavius definitely should have died in that RC car crash too, but they lived. And if Jed ended up covered in sand by that hourglass, he's likely not fully die since he can't, but he'd definitely be in constant agony breathing in sand and basically endlessly suffocating. And we've established they can still be hurt, so he'd be... alive but very traumatised. Not fun.

The tablet simulates restores or simulates bodily function by putting that soul into the vessel. It's magic keeps them alive until the sun comes up.

4. Other powers.

We do see that the tablet can do some other things, in the first movie when Ahk says some commands to it and it pulls all the exhibits back to the museum. That is a power I can understand since you know, Khonsu, watcher over travellers. Makes sense the tablet can draw people to a meeting point.

It can also open portals, as shown in the second movie. Now you could argue the painting pocket dimension things are portals, which is just a side effect of brining in animated objects to life. I'd assume the only portals it can open is the underworld one, since the original purpose of the tablet was to resurrect the dead, you might need to get the dead from the underworld for that. And those painting ones which wasn't the initial plan, just a side effect.

But that's all we really see it do. So I don't really know what else it could do.

TLDR:

The tablet was originally made to resurrect the dead, being blessed by Khonsu. The tablet works by placing a soul into a vessel, allowing it life. The soul carries the memories and personality etc of the person it once was. The vessel it's in has simulated body functions. It can also draw people to a meeting point and open portals. All of this does fit with the kind of powers Khonsu would be able to grant as a moon god and watcher of night travellers both living and dead. It needs moonlight every so often to stay 'charged'. It responds to the ancient Egyptian language, certain symbols of tiles in a particular order and likely can only be activated by Ahkmenrah and his families use.

And there you go, that's my theory on how the tablet works. That's all I got for now, I'd I find anything else I'll add it in.

Night At The Museum: REUNTIED

(FANFIC)

DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN NATM

August 16 , 2021

Seven years later, 56 year old Larry Daley was still a high school history teacher. He still misses being a night guard at the Natural History museum. He still remembered the good times he had with the friends he made there. He remembered going on risky adventures with them but it was worth it. But things change and that's the change he had to adjust to. He was used to being alone now since his son, Nick, who was now 30. He became a audio engineer. Nick was also married to his high crush named Andrea.

Yeah, Larry's son was very busy yet so was Larry himself but that doesn't change the fact that he lives alone. Larry wouldn't even bother to visit the museum & it's been so long. He notices that the museum in London has been visiting three times a year but he still doesn't go visit.

Larry convinced himself that he's made the right choice by letting them go even. Although he can't bring himself to see them after all these years. Now, he feels like they forgot all about him so he doesn't see the point of visiting.

But this time, Larry will step in the museum to check on his friends to see how they've been doing. Today was the day that Tilly , the night guard would bring the other exhibits over from London.

The doorbell rang on a Sunday morning. Larry got off from his couch to open the door seeing it was Nick. "Hey Dad" Nick smiled happily.

Larry smiled back and hugs his son tightly like his life depended on it.

"Oh , Nicky. I missed you so much. We've both been so busy and...we haven't had time to hangout and talk" Larry frowned & so did Nick.

"Yeah, but I hope you're doing great" Nick formed back a smile.

Larry forced himself to smile even though he's not really fine. He's been tired of work & tired of the loneliness.

"I heard that Tilly is here. It's been so long since we left the museum. I really miss Teddy, Dexter, Octy & Jed. I miss everyone, should we go see them tonight? Um...if you already got plans we can go another—"

"No,no, we can go. I was planning on it too. It has been so long &...I just hope they would remember me" Larry sighs.

"I know that they will" Nick places his hand on his Dad's shoulder.

"Let go out for lunch , Dad. And then we can make our way to the museum!"

The father and son went out to eat for lunch & hangout at the Theodore Roosevelt Park in front of the museum.

"So, how's school?" Larry's son asked.

"It's good. Students can get off task but I do make sure they pass my class so that I won't have to see them another year" Larry chuckled.

"That's good" Nick nods his head impressively.

"How are things going between you and Andrea?" Larry asked.

"Um...yeah about me and her..." Nick looks at his Dad as he gulps.

"I've been accepted another job in Louisville. And uh...Andrea has also been accepted a job as a Case manager. We are planning to move next year" Nick smiles with so much brightness.

"O-Oh? That's...nice" Larry forced a smile.

Why? What's wrong with New York?

Oh, how Larry wishes he can smile & be happy for his son but all he feels is more sadness coming over him as a son tells him that he's going to move to Louisville. Now, Larry feels ten-times more lonely than he was before.

Suddenly, he feels tightness in his chest, he winches, and holds his chest in pain. Nick looks closely at his Dad and got into panic mode "D-Dad? A-Are you okay?"

"Y-Yeah, I-I'm fine. I-It's just chest pain" Larry relaxes with his chest still hurting. He doesn't want his son to worry about him.

"Are you sure? We can stop by the drugstore and grab some medicine for you" Nick suggested.

"No, it's okay, Nick" Larry refuses.

"OK but if anything is off or if anything hurts let me know we can go home"

"Okay" Larry chuckles.

When it was almost sundown Larry and Nick went inside the museum. Everything seemed the same but it's been so long.

"LARRY DALEY" It was Tilly who greeted them.

"Hey, how are you?" Larry shakes Tilly's hand.

"I've been great! You?"

"Fine, how's being a night guard?" Larry asked.

"You were right. Best job ever!" Tilly smiled happily.

"I'm glad to hear t–" Larry coughed. "Skews me, i'm glad to hear that. Anything new or anything happened while they all came to life" he cleared his throat.

"No, not really everyone's behaving, no trouble. They are all a delight to have even when they all come together like this" Tilly giggles.

"T-That's great! I'm glad as well to hear great news from you and how everyone is doing" Larry smiles softly.

"Anyways, it's getting dark. Everyone else should be up & going in 3,2,1..."

Larry turns around hearing footsteps coming down the hallway. He sees Ankmenrah holding the tablet in his hand with a smile.

"Larry I would so glad to see you again. I missed you so much" The pharaoh hugged Larry.

"H-Hey there, Ank. I've missed you too" Larry hugs back.

"It is good to see you again dangly bells!" It was Lancelot.

"Hey Lance! it's good to see you too!" Larry shakes the knights hands.

"Hey" Nick greeted the knight.

"Nick! You're a man now! It's incredible!" Lancelot hugs Nick.

"Yes! And you are still the Lance I saw seven years ago" Nick chuckles.

The Rexy & Trixie met up as well. Everything else in the museum came to life greeting Larry one by one. Teddy also agreed to Larry with a big hug "It's so wonderful to meet you again, Lawrence!"

"It's great to meet you too, Teddy. It's been so long but I'm glad I'm here now" Larry tried not to cry.

"Oh and Nick how are you? It's been so long, you're all grown up now you become a man!" Teddy hugged Nick.

"Hey Ted!" Nick hugs back.

"Larry!" It was Sacagawea.

"Wow! Your hair is down & I am glad to see you too!" Larry observes Sacagawea's hair change before he hugs her.

"GIGANTOR!" It was jedidiah shouting along with Octavius, Dexter, & Attila all together.

"Hey!" Larry smiled widely. Dexter climbs onto Larry hugging his neck.

"I missed you too buddy" Larry padded Dexter's back.

"It's been so long my friend! How are you?" Octavius asked.

"I'm fi–" Larry started coughing again.

"Eww" Jed & Octy steps away in disgust.

Larry continues after coughing "I'm fine. You two?" He referred to Jed & Octy.

"We are good!" Jedediah smiled.

Attila surprises Larry with a huge hug along with the Hun crying on his shoulder.

"Bi chamaig sanaj baina!"

"Aww, I missed you too" Larry hugs the hun back.

"We should all do something together since we have reunited with our most dearest friend, Larry Daley & his son Nick" Teddy announced.

"Lancelot has a perfect idea for us to start off with!" Lancelot smirks at Tilly. "Karaoke night!" Lancelot raises his sword in the air.

"OH YUH!" Tilly howled.

"I'm guessing you all did Karaoke more than once" Larry looks at Tilly.

"I introduced them to it & you won't believe how many of them have such nice voices!" Tilly squeals.

"DADA!" It was Laaa , the caveman.

"Laaa! Hey Laaa, missed me?"

"Dada!" Laaa hugged Larry tightly making him fall onto the floor.

"O-Okay, okay! T-Take it easy, I'm in my late 50's now. I missed you too"

Laaa helps set up karaoke with Attila & Laaa while Nick & Lancelot catches up. Along with everyone catching up with one another.

"So" Jedediah said.

"So" Octavius smiles at his cowboy friend.

"I-It's been awhile since we talked. How are you feeling about Gigantor visiting us for the first time in forever?"

"I'm glad he finally came to see us" Octavius sighs.

"Me too, I'm also happy to see you too" Jed smiled at his best friend.

"Awww, so sweet of you , Jedediah to miss me that much. It makes sense that when the sun goes down I'm the first person you look for" Octavius grins.

"M-Me? Sweet?" Jed couldn't help but smile and turn away, also blushing.

Larry was in the restroom washing his hands. He started coughing again but this time it was a very harsh rough cough. Larry held onto the sink coughing loudly then warm liquid came out his mouth, it was blood.

Larry shrugs it off and washes the blood away. He didn't want to worry about what was happening to him most of all he didn't have time to care right now. He missed his friends & he wants to spend time with them. Nothing was going to get in the way of his night.

NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM: REUNITED PART 2 (FANFIC)

"Lately, I've been, I've been thinking

I want you to be happier, I want you to be happier

So I'll go, I'll go

I will go, go, go~" Jedediah & Octavius finishes singing Happier by Bastille & Marshmello.

"WOAHH!" The crowd cheered at the miniatures karaoke performance.

"Great singing guys! That was amazing!" Larry compliments the cowboy & Roman soldier.

"I thank you" Octavius smiles.

"Thanks , Gigantor!" Jededaiah waves.

"You should sing my darling , I would love to hear your voice" Teddy said as he kisses Sacagawea's hand.

"I guess I can perform a song" Sacagawea blushes as she makes her way in the center of the crowd with the microphone in her hand. Ankmenrah was in charge of the music & turned on This Is Me by Keala Settle.

Sacagawea closes her eyes & began to sing.

"I am not a stranger to the dark

Hide away, they say

'Cause we don't want your broken parts

I've learned to be ashamed of all my scars

Run away, they say

No one'll love you as you are

But I won't let them break me down to dust

I know that there's a place for us

For we are glorious

When the sharpest words wanna cut me down

I'm gonna send a flood, gonna drown them out

I am brave, I am bruised

I am who I'm meant to be, this is me

Look out 'cause here I come

And I'm marching on to the beat I drum

I'm not scared to be seen

I make no apologies, this is me

Oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh

Another round of bullets hits my skin

Well, fire away 'cause today, I won't let the shame sink in

We are bursting through the barricades and

Reaching for the sun (we are warriors)

Yeah, that's what we've become (yeah, that's what we've become)

I won't let them break me down to dust

I know that there's a place for us

For we are glorious

When the sharpest words wanna cut me down

I'm gonna send a flood, gonna drown them out

I am brave, I am bruised

I am who I'm meant to be, this is me

Look out 'cause here I come

And I'm marching on to the beat I drum

I'm not scared to be seen

I make no apologies, this is me

Oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh

This is me

and I know that I deserve your love

(Oh-oh-oh-oh) 'cause there's nothing I'm not worthy of

(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh)

When the sharpest words wanna cut me down

I'm gonna send a flood, gonna drown them out. This is brave, this is proof

This is who I'm meant to be, this is me

Look out 'cause here I come (look out 'cause here I come)

And I'm marching on to the beat I drum (marching on, marching, marching on)

I'm not scared to be seen

I make no apologies, this is me

When the sharpest words wanna cut me down. I'm gonna send a flood, gonna drown them out. I'm gonna send a flood

Gonna drown them out

Oh , this is me~"

The crowd cheered loudly & Teddy was in shock but also he of course enjoyed his lover's singing , it was fantastic.

"You sounded beautiful my dear!"

Teddy kisses her cheek.

"Thank you , Teddy!"

Sacagawea smiles widely and kisses her lover back.

"More Microphones coming up! & Who wants to go next?" Lancelot asked & turns toward Larry with a smirk. "How bout' you dangly bells?"

"Nah , I'm good. You guys can have fun–"

"Then what's the point in being here? Come on!" Lancelot hands Larry the Microphone.

"O-Okay...I guess...I'm not good at singing but I'll do it for you guys"

The music began and in Larry's head was like hey , I know this song...

Well , here goes nothing...

"D-Do you ever feel like a plastic bag

Drifting through the wind

Wanting to start again...."

Great, now I'm in my feelings...

I can totally relate to the plastic bags I see out on the streets...

But Larry continues "D-Do you ever feel, feel so paper thin

Like a house of cards

One blow from caving in

Do you ever feel already buried deep

Six feet under scream

But no one seems to hear a thing..."

"Do you know that there's still a chance for you

'Cause there's a spark in you" His son joins in too.

"You just gotta ignite the light

And let it shine

Just own the night

Like the Fourth of July~!" Lancelot comes in with another Mic along with Jedediah & Octavius singing the next line.

"Cause baby you're a firework

Come on show 'em what your worth

Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"

As you shoot across the sky-y-y!"

"Baby you're a firework

Come on let your colors burst

Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"

You're gonna leave 'em fallin' down down down!" Lancelot smiles & looks over at Octavius.

Octavius smiles back & waves at the knight as Jedediah crosses his arms looking away from the two interacting.

Tilly comes in to sing with them as well "Boom, boom, boom

Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon

It's always been inside of you, you, you

And now it's time to let it through!"

Lancelot kneels down beside the table the miniature men stood & sang , looking at Octavius "Cause baby you're a firework

Come on show 'em what your worth

Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"

As you shoot across the sky-y-y!"

Octavius blushes slightly causing Jedediah to look at them in disgust.

Oh yeah , Lance slot?

Jed turned his best friend facing him & sang "Baby you're a firework

Come on let your colors burst

Make 'em go Oh, oh, oh!"

"You're gonna leave 'em fallin' down down down~" Octavius sang back as he & Jed made eye contact. Jedediah stared back enjoying the moment with his best friend.

"Boom, boom, boom!" Attila & Laaa sang.

"Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon" Tilly sang as she stroked Laaa's hair.

"Boom, boom, boom!" Laaa along with Attila sang again.

"Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon" Larry & Nick finished the last line before everyone clapped their hands & cheered loudly.

The president jumps onto his horse along & shouted "Can I have everyone's attention before we go back to our places? Thank you! I would like to thank our previous night guard, most of all, our dearest friend Larry Daley & his son Nick Daley for visiting us after seven years! We are all happy to see you two again , really!"

"I am also happy to see all of you again. I'm glad we had this kind of night toget–" Larry started coughing but just for a couple of seconds before finishing "Y-Yeah , I'm happy to be here tonight with all of you!"

Nick found it strange how his Dad has been feeling about his health. He notices that he's been coughing & had chest pain earlier. If it seems to get out of hand , Nick will have to confront his Dad to see a doctor. Right now, his Dad is just saying I'm fine & won't admit he's not feeling well.

Everyone was getting to their places before sunrise. Teddy kisses Sacagawea before she heads back to her display.

Before Jedediah can go to his display , he felt a hand grab his shoulder. "Hey Jedediah?" It was Octavius.

"Hey , What is it?" Jedediah asked.

"You okay?"

"O-Of course! Why wouldn't I be?" Jed smiles nervously.

"Y-You seem to be very...I don't know...jealous? When me & Lance are together" Octavius frowned.

Ohhh , right....

"I'm not jealous" The cowboy denies. It was a lie though , Jededaiah was jealous but doesn't want to admit it.

"Oh okay then. I'll see you later tonight" Octavius & Jedediah chest bump each other before leaving to their displays.

"Hey Larry?" Ankmenrah came up to him.

"Oh , hey Ank , need anything before you go?" Larry asked.

"I just wanted to say how it was a delight to see you again. I'm glad you came to see us tonight. One of the best nights we've ever had in so long" Ank smiled.

"I'm glad I came too. Me & Nick were very busy & we didn't have any free time as much. But it's good to see you Ank. How are things going back in London?" Larry had to ask.

"Wonderful!" Ankmenrah said cheerfully.

"That's good to hear. Alright , I'll see ya" Larry patted Ank on the shoulders before walking to Teddy.

"Tonight has been wonderful , Lawrence. Glad you could be here with us" Teddy & his horse makes his way to their spot.

Larry started feeling light-headed & grabs onto the president's saddle.

"Oh dear , are you okay my son?" Teddy asked worriedly.

"Y-Yeah, I'm okay & uh...I'm glad I came" Larry formed a smile.

"Great! Well, Lawrence, sunrise is here , welcome back!" Teddy smiles as he pulls out his sword as the sun had set.

"Thanks Ted" Larry smiles.

"Hey Dad? Ready?" Nick asked.

"Yeah , lets go home" Larry & his son walks towards the main entrance by Tilly.

"See you again tonight Mr. Daley?" Tilly asked.

"Yes! I'll come again!" Larry said before he and Nick walks out the museum & down the steps.

"Hey Dad?" Nick started.

"Yes?" Larry looks at his son.

"Are you okay? You seem to be sick. Is there anything I can do for you?"

"I'm fine Nicky. Don't worry about me. Besides , I will let you know if there's anything. I think I just need some rest"

"Did you talk to your Boss?" Nick asked.

"Not yet. I'll call him when I get home"

Later after Nick goes off to work...

Larry is now back at home. In bed , feeling more ill & tired. Due to his health right now, he called the school to let them know he wasn't coming.

Larry began to cough again. It was more of a violent cough that made him cough blood onto tissue. It was a lot of blood that not all of it stayed on the tissue.

"Oh no"
