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.

[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.

[resenting]

You sure about that? You know, some authors get some pretty extreme fans.

[tigerpoet]

I'm unfortunately aware.

[resenting]

Well, at least we can be pretty sure we don't have anything like that in this world.

Probably.

[tigerpoet]

It's nice to be somewhere not everyone automatically knows your name.

[resenting]

That's for sure.

I guess it probably depends on what you're known for, though.

[tigerpoet]

In my case it's my writing... although I still don't think my works are anything special.

And you?

[resenting]

I'm a 'Hero'. The job title, not the ego trip. The nutshell version is that world summons people from other worlds, gives them powers and sends them off to fight monsters.

[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.]

[tigerpoet]

I can see why that would garner a certain degree of reverence, yes.

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.

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.

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]

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

[tigerpoet]

The figures they had before were bad enough...

[tigerpoet]

[Ah. A chuuni.]

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

[soupervillain]

[ just because he's a chuuni doesn't mean his powers aren't real okay!! ]

.........They could open a third one?

[tigerpoet]

Would you rob that one too?

[soupervillain]

Look, at that point they'd probably be begging me to rob them!! I can't say no to my ADORING PUBLIC!

But if they wanted me to stop I'd do that too!!
