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?

High expectations to live up to. I wonder if anyone could possibly meet them.

I used to be overwhelmed myself, but...well.

You grow a little older, you learn that the stories you were told as a child are more invention than reality.

Your predecessors were only human.

At least, I assume they were. I can't be sure with Prismatica being like it is.

[necroyalty]

Oh no, the Vanthian royal family has been entirely human until fairly recently.

My two daughters do have some elven blood on their father's side, but I'm not sure if a single elven grandmother who abandoned their father at birth counts for much.

[tigerpoet]

I don't think so, no. Not culturally at least.

[necroyalty]

They certainly don't seem to regard it of much importance, so. If that's the case...

Still, it's a bit daunting trying to raise them for the role that's expected of them.

[ Trying to be a good parent and trying to raise a proper queen are...not exactly mutually inclusive. ]

Parenting was difficult enough in my experience. I can't imagine how hard it is when your children have the weight of entire countries resting on their shoulders.

[necroyalty]

I won't deny that it's difficult.

I could always try, but, it's as you said.

Only human and all.

Knowing you, I'm sure they were brought up as well as anyone could have asked for.
