Heartslybuul

Riddle: trumpet (derogatory). Good lord does this man have the trumpet ego. I say this with all the love in my heart riddle is THE trumpet kid.

Ace: trombone. You just know in the bus rides to band competitions he would be the reason the NRC boys would have the “what happens on the bus stays on the bus” rule.

Deuce: tuba. Not because he necessarily gives tuba vibes, but because tuba kids embody exactly what deuce wants to be. ✨honors student✨

Trey: euphonium/baritone. (This is what I play :D). Trey is just a chill guy. His whole thing is being chill, therefore he’s a euphonium.

Cater: clarinet. Clarinets are only played by mean girls or endearing gay men. I know he plays guitar in the pop club but we’re doing marching instruments today.

Savanahclaw

Leona: front ensemble. You think he’s gonna do any ACTUAL marching? Hell no, hes prolly got a triangle and is sitting in the ensemble pit until it’s time to play his 1 note.

Ruggie: French horn. Literally just because in the band I march for every French horn is broke as hell. No idea if this is a universal stereotype but yeah.

Jack: sousaphone or battery. I couldn’t choose between these because on one hand, sousaphones are the sweet and by the book kids, and battery are try hard kids who show off their gym builds. Both are very Jack.

Octinivelle

Azul: alto sax (maybe tenor, definitely not baritone). He’s chill on the outside, hecka stressed on the inside. Definitely an alto sax.

Jade: marimba (front ensemble). He’s very slightly off, but seems chill most of the time. Have yall ever met a normal marimba player? There always so slightly serial killer.

Floyd: percussion. He’s one of those percussion kids.

Scarabia

Kalim: snare. Oh my gosh he’s suuuuuuch a carefree and dumb little guy! Any snare player I’ve ever met has been so sweet, very kalim core. Also he plays drums in the pop club I’m pretty sure.

Jamil: flute. This isn’t based on him at all, I just think the quieter the instrument he plays, the more he can play how he wants uninfluenced by the need to be worse than Kalim. Also flute and percussion are like waaaaay opposite ends of the spectrum, so yay more separation from Kalim!

Pomfiore

Vil: color guard. Very Vil. He’d prolly be guard captain actually.

Rook: French horn. Get it. Cuz. Cuz he’s French… ok moving on.

Epel: trombone. I’m sorry to bestow this instrument onto my sweet boy. He would just see the sheer amount of chaos and testosterone coming of the boys in this section (girl trombones are different yall are chill lol) and be so enthralled.

Ignyhide

Idia: front ensemble. Yall think he’s gonna do ANY physical movement? Nononono. He doesn’t even wanna BE there. The whole thing would be his worst nightmare. IF (huge if) he actually played it would be flute. Super quiet and easy to fake play during performances.

Ortho: piccolo or euphonium. He’s so sweet and careing like euphoniums and he’s very loud like piccolos (personality wise lol, you can never hear piccolos playing.)

Diasomnia

Malleus: trumpet. He has the trumpet presence bro. Not as much as riddle, but he’s just got such a large impact on the room he’s in. Very trumpet.

Lilia: color guard. Yall think he would choose band uniforms over guard uniforms? Hecks no man he wants to look as cutesie as possible. Plus I think he would be so good at flag flips.

Silver: baritone saxophone. He’s just chill like that.

I just saw someone post a picture of an average-sized man with a bit of scruff and say he has "major Bear vibes".

Bears are Fat.

Stop erasing the glorious fatness of Bears!

NOT ONCE

IN MY 1647 YEARS OF LIVING

HAVE READ A BOOK THAT MADE ME TEAR UP THE DAT AFTER I READ IT

UNTIL THE SONG OF ACHILLES

I AM FULL ON SOBBING RN BECAUSE I WATCHED GIGIS 'MYSTERY OF LOVE' ANIMATIC

Now the new RE game is on the way and apparently Alyssa is dead. And was married and had a daughter.

Sir, i know a lesbian when I see one. Alyssa should be scissoring Yoko, peacefully living in cozy house with white picket fence. Not this.

Is Night at the Museum 4: Kahmunrah Rises Again being classed as cannon by people, or...?

Besides the insulting lack of Jedtavius, (and lack of the ongoing gag of “small men do something that’s horrifying to them, yet nothing to us (i.e. the car tire, the squirrel, and the vent), this isn’t what the post is about... it’s about the inconsistencies.

Like, yeah sure there were a few in the original three, but they weren’t show stopping, or ruining the magic, or even confusing things, such as; Cecil Fredrick’s implying that he only found out about the magic of the tablet when he took the job as a Night Guard, and then enjoyed the magic. But, in the third movie it’s as if he knew ALL ALONG. No mention of Rebecca in the second movie, none of the “Amelia Earhart Look-Alike” in the third. Or,  Kahmunrah being wax rather than being a mummy. But, I can overlook that...

HOWEVER!

I will not overlook the magnitude in NATM 4.

Let’s talk inconsistencies.

There was no Joan of Arc in the original 3. Yes, I understand WHY they did this, but still, it was never even mentioned there was an exhibit dedicated to her. (Did they get a section for her between films?)

There was a severe lack of Teddy/Sacagawea, as if it was forgotten. (As there was of Jedtavius, but I can see why they cut that out.)

Larry has meant to have moved on, went to college, got a degree, and gone into teaching, yet he’s back at the museum??? Working as a night guard??? NATM 3 is about moving on, and letting go, but... now he’s back...

Where was Don??? Y’know? Erica’s boyfriend??? Don is never really brought up again in the next two films after the first, but they were dating, enough that Nicky sorta looked up to him and Erica trusted him to pick up Nicky. Did they break up, and it was never mentioned???? Ever...

And that’s another thing, Nicky’s meant to be in college at this point. To reiterate, that was the point of the third film, moving on and becoming better. Remember, one of the conflicts was Nicky had no idea what he wanted to do, he wanted to go DJ and Larry wanted him to go to college. He should not in High School. Not to mention, Nicky was flirting with that girl in the third movie at the very beginning, and didn’t appear to have a girlfriend, and the way NATM 4 implies that he’s TOTALLY gone for Mia, it would seem that they would be a “power couple”.

ANOTHER THING! Dr. McPhee is let on in the secret at the end of NATM 3. He is made aware that everything in the museum comes to life at night, and he sees it, and he’s amazed, he even finds it rather funny. Yet in NATM 4, he has no idea they come to life, and Nicky is trying to usher him out the door. And, McPhee seems to hate Nicky and Larry, despite in the end rather liking Larry and being thankful to him for taking the fall for the entire situation with the exhibits attacking.

ALSO, where is Ahkmenrah??? Did he just... vanish? Does he no longer exist??? Did he go back to England???

Which is also ANOTHER point. The reason at the end of NATM 3 everything came to life, was because it is a moving exhibit and was visiting New York. It doesn’t stay in one place for a long time, so it seems to have moved on from The Museum of Natural History, so... why does The Museum of Natural History STILL have the tablet? It should have gone with Ahkmenrah and the English Exhibit, and if it didn’t, Dr. McPhee would have probably been arrested. And, that’s what the exhibits wanted in NATM 3, for Ahkmenrah to have the tablet, and to be with his family.

Maybe the moving exhibit is still there? If so, what about Tilly??? She should still be there too, and I don’t think she would leave Laa, nor would Laa leave Tilly again. And if they did stay, Tilly would have been a good Night Guard rather than Nicky. And if they’re still there, where is Lancelot??? Where is Merenkahre and Shepseheret??? Where is Trixie??? (Therefore, it’s my belief that the moving exhibit is no longer there.)

Not finished yet! Another thing to note is... Kahmunrah is meant to be dead. Remember, he was pushed into the Afterlife through the Gate to the Underworld, right? Well, why and how is he back? “But OP, it’s another wax figure” I can hear some of you yelling; then why does he know what happened? If it’s a different wax figure, he shouldn’t know. Remember in NATM 2, when Larry found a bust of Teddy and Teddy had no idea who Larry was??? I do! So... it’s CLEARLY meant to be the same Kahmunrah.

Maybe it takes place between NATM 2 and 3??? But, it can’t! Because, Laa is there, and Laa was only introduced at the beginning of NATM 3. If Laa wasn’t there, I would have rather easily been able to say “it takes place between NATM 2 and 3″, but because he is, it means it’s MEANT to be after 4.

Maybe it takes place DAYS after the end of NATM 3??? Again, Larry and Nicky shouldn’t be there, the English Exhibits and Tilly should still be there, McPhee should know what’s going on, and Kahmunrah still shouldn’t remember/should not be alive and Akhmenrah should have been there.

There’s probably more, such as posters and pictures shouldn’t be moving in the Museum of Natural History, which is why Larry found the Smithsonian so cool, because the pictures moved unlike theirs, and they shouldn’t be used as portals as it was NEVER referenced before.

Also, the fact Joan had powers and Seth was a real God which should be impossible, given the fact everything else in the museum’s don’t work like that. Like sure, things like volcanoes blowing up is a thing, but like... besides things directly tied to the Tablet, things so as magic, permanent damage and stuff isn’t real.

Joan had hallucinations and more than likely a mental illness, so to see it used like THAT was just so not good. (A way with words I know) Yes, she had visions and later they came true, but the way it was used was wrong. As if what Joan saw was fact, rather than Joan having a mental illness, and trying to fulfill it. (There is nothing wrong with having mental health issues, or anything like that. I just believe the way they used her mental health and her hallucinations was wrong.)

And Seth... while I can see something like this being done, it was the fact it was done with laser eyes, like... THAT WOULD NEVER HAPPEN! The tablet doesn’t seem to let that sort of thing happen. (But, then again actually; given that Seth is more tied to the tablet I think it could. I think my main issue with that is; the laser eyes. I think it angered me more than I thought it did.)
