Okay so,

I was inspired to spell out some comparisons/similarities me and a few other Jedtavius fandom-goers made years ago back when the fandom was much more dead. At the time I had called it the "Jedtavius Circle" but I feel like there's a better name for it out there somewhere

So, I made a venn diagram to show all the weird similarities these films have with each other, and how I feel they are personally connected in a way that is so unique.

Since the image and the writing may be hard for some to access and not all the details I'd like to add will fit in the image, I will also do my best to explain these comparisons in text:

There are three films/franchises being compared here with their respective mlm ships:

1. Night at the Museum (Jedtavius)

2. Around the World in 80 Days (2004) (Phileas Fogg x Passepartout)

3. Shanghai Series (Shanghai Noon, Shanghai Knights) (Roy O' Bannon x Chon Wang)

What Night at the Museum and Around the World in 80 Days share is that they both have characters played by Steve Coogan that have implied or coded romantic connection or ships with another main character, that other character played by one of the other two actors listed.

What Night at the Museum and the Shanghai Series have in common is the exact same, except instead of Steve Coogan being shared by these films we have Owen Wilson.

And, much the same, for Around the World in 80 Days & Shanghai Noon/Knights we have the same comparison as for the other two (implied romantic connection and/or is commonly shipped with a character played by another one of these actors mentioned) this time with Jackie Chan.

But get this: something all these films share is that they are queer-coded or implied silly little historical comedies from the 2000s, which on top of everything else, links these films to one another in a way that I haven't seen in any other media before.

(Another fun fact mentioned in the diagram: Owen has a cameo in Around the World, technically meaning he was in all three films. This cameo is also believed to be where Owen & Steve first met.)

This is something that is still so cool to me and I never hear it talked about. Please feel free to share your thoughts or questions!

NOW THIS IS THE PART OF THE SONG WHERE I LIKE TO TALK TO MY AUDIENCE. I LIKE TO TELL THEM THERES SOMETHING I WANT FROM YOU HEP CATS TONIGHT. I WANT YOU TO LOOK TO YOUR LEFT, LOOK TO YOUR RIGHT, YOUR TWELVE O’CLOCK, THREE O’CLOCK, SIX O’CLOCK, NINE O’CLOCK, ROCK AROUND THE CLOCK TONIGHT AND I WANT YOU TO FIND THOSE POINTS OF NO RETURN, THOSE SINGULARITIES, THOSE BURNING RINGS OF FIRE IN THE BEAUTIFUL PUPILS OF THE BEAUTIFUL EYES OF THE BEAUTIFUL BOY, GIRL, NEITHER, BOTH OR IN-BETWEEN THAT YOU BROUGHT WITH YOU TONIGHT, AND I WANT YOU TO TELL THEM HOW YOU REALLY FEEL. I WANT YOU TO TELL THEM YOU LOVE THE WAY THEY SO SEAMLESSLY, LIKE-A-DREAMFULLY, SO BEAUTIFULLY, OH SO DUTIFULLY JAM THAT SQUARE PEG IN THE ROUND HOLE IN THEIR HEARTS! I WANT YOU TO TELL THEM YOU LOVE THE WAY THEY DONT STICK OUT LIKE SORE MIDDLE FINGERS! THAT THEY CRAWL THEIR WAY UP THE SIDE OF THE BELL CURVE, STICK THEIR FLAG AT THE PEAK, AND SLIDE THEIR WAY BACK DOWN! I WANT YOU TO TELL THEM YOU LOVE THE WAY THAT THEY’RE NOT MALADAPTIVE, NOT MALCONTENT, NOT MALIGNANT OR MALEFICENT, BUT RATHER THAT YOU LOVE THEM! EXACTLY THE WAY THAT EVERYBODY ELSE IS!!!!!!

ok so we know about the need to infodump, but what about the opposite? The need to absorb more information about your special interest like a sponge, but you literally can’t find any new material because you’ve already consumed every fact about it

YOU!! I DONT KNOW IF PEOPLE SEND ASKS ABOUT HEARTLESS ANYMORE BUT I RECENTLY RESURFACED BACK TO IT AND I JUST *EXPLOSION SOUNDS* /pos

BRO I cannot express to you how much I think about Doppel and Glass and their character concepts and their dynamic and just generally the story. Man, I don't know what it is about those two, but like...AJHSJHD!!

I really like thinking about angst and ways that you can make both of them complex and stuff, you know, separating from just "haha silly comic relief guys!" I like thinking about them and how their not the same, and how they're both technically separate beings kinda? And how they're different and stuff and AA-

ALSO I love they're character design man? Like, it looks...crunchy. that's probably a bad way to put it, but they feel like those sensory videos where people take wax and slime and crush it all up and its really satisfying and crunchy.

AUGH they're all so awesome and I love love LOVE thinking about Heartless as a story and how it would play out and stuff. Keep up the good work and stuff, sorry for word bombing you I just suddenly got a lot of feelings and had to get it out somewhere

sgssgfjsgh thank u so much for taking the time to send this ask dude!

Seeing any love for the Heartless gang always sparks more joy than I can convey, no matter when -- but ur timing is uncanny haha, these two have been on my mind a lot lately too! (Especially since the new Madds Buckley song dropped 'cause it's just sO--- 👀😩🤌)

I'm not very articulate rn but pls take this doodle as a big thank u for the encouragement and for sharing ur thoughts about 'em! 🪞💜
