The opening of the museum here is enormously exciting, but it also has me thinking about museums at home.

I know there are exhibits about me in at least a few museums - I've never been to see one, because it feels vaguely egotistical to attend an exhibit about yourself? But I've always wondered what sort of things they have to say about me. What parts of my life are worth putting on display for the public.

If there were a museum dedicated to you, what do you suppose would be on exhibit?

[ hm!! an interesting question. ]

In this premise, is the exhibit based on my life as it is now? Or on how I presume I will be remembered in the future, when I will undoubtedly have many more accomplishments to my name?

[tigerpoet]

Whichever would be more interesting to think about.

[aegir]

I shall go with the latter, then!

There would be a detailed history of the Aegir lineage and our territory, of course; and I would like to imagine that there would be a selection of my finest writings, both legal treatises and personal letters and poems to those I love.

[ Because surely no one will throw those away!! ]

I have already had several very nice portraits commissioned throughout my life thus far, but I am certain there will be others in the future, so visitors can see how I appeared at different points throughout my life. Perhaps there would be a room dedicated to the period embodied by each! There will likely be artistic renderings of my actions and contributions to history as well, perhaps in wood carvings and sculpture as well as paint!

Artifacts like the armor I wore to a particularly historic battle, or the shoes of my favored horse, could also be on display. Children would especially be interested in my horses, I think, so a section focused on them would help make the exhibit enjoyable for the whole family.

[ please stop him ]

[necroyalty]

Considering my own circumstances, I've always found this line of thinking remarkably self-indulgent.

[ The fact that she'd go down in history for something has always been something she just accepted, because well, queen. ]

[tigerpoet]

It is a little, and like I said I wouldn't actually visit a museum about myself, but...

[resenting]

I've heard they do have some kind of shrine for me or something in one of the other countries.

Frankly, the while thing gives me the creeps.

[tigerpoet]

A shrine would be more than a little uncomfortable... Thankfully, I'm only a writer and not someone anyone would deify like that.

[Well this question hits a little too close to home with what she knows about her future.]

I don't want a museum or a monument or anything. Living on in my friend's memories is enough for me.

[tigerpoet]

I'd rather be remembered kindly by friends and family than be famous.

[Unfortunately he doesn't have much of a say in that at this point, but still.]

I would rather there be monuments to those we've lost, honestly. My story is still going - they're the ones that need to be rememebred.

[tigerpoet]

It's different for me because I'm already dead.

Honestly, I'd cringe at a museum dedicated to me.

On that note: I beg that they never open a Moonblessed museum in the near or far future.

[tigerpoet]

The figures they had before were bad enough...

[soupervillain]

OBVIOUSLY, it'd be dedicated to all my supervillainous exploits! Like that time I robbed a different museum! And definitely stole a lot of cool magical artifacts, and not just one that I'm still trying to figure out what to do with!

And then I'd rob the new museum too!!

[tigerpoet]

[Ah. A chuuni.]

If you robbed the new museum, then it couldn't properly show off how cool you are.

I'd want there to be pictures of my father. Big ones. His face taking up a whole wall and his name on every plaque.

[tigerpoet]

You two must be very close.

[sealeted]

Let's see...

Probably War stories, or scenes about the civil war that came later, or fending off an invasion. I've got some... grandiose people who care about me, so I'm sure the displays would be a lot more ostentatious than I might prefer.

[tigerpoet]

I have a few friends I could say the same about... they mean well, at least?

A museum based on me would likely be dedicated to manga. Or just as an artist, in general. Though a museum with artwork isn't particularly unique.

[tigerpoet]

It's not, but I still find art museums enjoyable to visit. Especially exhibits centered on artists or movements I'm not familiar with.

[koboreta]

That's incredible. You must be an amazing person. Is it too invasive to ask what you're known for?

I've never had an exhibition in a museum, exactly, but there have been exhibitions centered around the idol unit I'm a part of. The outfits I've worn in shows and props I've used have been on display for the public to see, but since the focus is always on concerts and not me as a person, it doesn't sound nearly as personal as what you're describing.

I was invited to walk through before they opened and enjoyed them a lot, but I'd be too concerned about being recognized to attend otherwise... Your situation sounds much different, though.

[tigerpoet]

I'm an author. Nakajima Atsushi, I don't know if the name is familiar?

[But that looks like a Japanese name and Japanese idol culture, so maybe...]

I can imagine you'd be mobbed by fans if you went normally.

[...god should he even answer this, it's definitely. definitely, alright.

well, he should probably get a little more used to being vaguely in the ballpark of honest about this, all things considered...]

I believe a collection of statues and writings would be most likely. Perhaps a weapon or two, as well. Truthfully, it's a little embarrassing to think about, though.

[tigerpoet]

[It's not like the actual ghost can judge you for not being strictly human.]

I don't think I could handle a statue of myself. I'd die again out of sheer embarrassment.

Weapons are a thought, though.
