This is what I think about when I think about museum dates

I fear that what will follow will be quite, how to say it, kinky or even perverse, but, unfortunately, this is all I could come up with. All things considered, I am not a creative person and I have no idea how to describe something that is indescribable in its, what word to use, its grandeur? Let’s use that. But, really, how do you describe veins made of marbles that appear fragile in their indestructibility. And, honestly, how are you not distracted by those veins? Like, I would much rather climb this giant of six metre and touch that perfection of a nose than stay here thinking whether ‘perfect’ is the right choice of an adjective. How can you describe a hand that could quite literally crush you if it happened to fall in the wrong way? A display of power that, if I may say so myself, is quite attractive, if attractive is the right word. I should check a dictionary, but, my dear, my mind is preoccupied with other thoughts at the moment. Like those legs. Honestly, I would date this statue. David, I am free on Monday evening, if you have no Goliaths to slay we could, I don’t know, discuss how powerful your thighs look, do you go to the gym? Refocus! It is a statue. And this is not what we are here for. So, the task is to consider how words can describe an image. Image that is a statue in this particular occurrence. But, you know what, I find statues way more interesting, they are so human in their- how to say it, rock-ness? Rock-ness it is. They are so human in their rock-ness. You need new words to describe something so confusing. Because, come on, it is confusing. He is a hot dude, and he will never notice you. And not because he is hot and also a douchebag, no, I mean not really, like, I don’t know him personally. O god. Refocus once again. So, he will not notice you because, yes, he is hot, but he is also not real. Which, kind of a turn-off if you ask me (if you ask me in public that is, because if we are in private and quite close the answer may vary, but let’s keep it safe for now). How can you describe all that? If you can, then congratulations! You, my dear, are an artist. I am not. I just like looking at pretty things (and rock dudes) that would most probably not talk to me even if the case made it absolutely necessary and that would so destroy my poor little heart and my already mostly inexistent self-esteem. But how can you argue a hobby like that? I mean, have you seen those abs? Because I totally have, and they are glorious (here, glorious is certainly an interesting adjective, may that be it? We both know the answer is no, what a shame. I’ll leave it in there anyway because it sounds funny, glorious, glo-rious, glo-ri-ous. What an S, love that). Where were we? O yes, the abs and the veins and the hot-dude-who-would-not-talk-to-you-if-he-was-real. See? You cannot describe it satisfactorily. What did you grasp while reading this? A total lack of capability? Yeah, I know, but don’t be rude. I guess you grasped that there is no way to describe something that is so powerful. But maybe not even that, I am not arrogant enough to think I can give you a message. What you really got out of this is who my type is. Which is a very important piece of information if you happen to know many dudes. Useful for me. Send me names, darling. I am quite lonely. At the end of the day, I am thirsting over a statue.

(Statue: David, Michelangelo)

Finally have a chance to give my response to @kimium! I asked her about headcanons for any one character from each NRC dorm on a museum date and how they would enjoy it(see her answers here!) and she prompted me to also share my headcanons! And so, here we go!!!!!

(I tried to follow your format, friend, because I wanted you to see my reasonings and because the way you laid it all out made a lot of sense to me and I liked it!)

Under a cut, because LONG.

Heartslaybul - Trey

I think museum dates would be right up Trey's alley. They're pretty chill, informative, and as interactive and fun as you want them to be, and I just really envision Trey as really enjoying museums.

Pros:

Has All the snacks necessary for an outing; and a picnic lunch. He got excited and went all out.

Will hold your hand while you wander the exhibits together

Doesn't push to get through more quickly, but also does not need to read every single word on each plaque.

Very knowledgeable if you happen to go to a museum that features a cooking/baking exhibit. You get to listen to him rambling 💜🥰

Has prepared for any and all instances of accident or injury that could occur and is able to keep his head if anything serious goes down (this is kind of just applicable for any and all dates with Trey, but it still counts here, so I'll include it!)

Cons:

Because he has all the snacks and water bottles and potential other things that may (but probably won't) be necessary...he has a large backpack and it is heavy. It also may get you stopped by security depending where you're going.

Has a tendency to mother-hen you and when a large crowd starts forming, his Big Brother Instincts take over. You have to remind him a couple times that you're not a child.

Savanaclaw - Jack

I totally agree that out of the Savanaclaw boys, Jack is the one who will go to a museum with you. He's polite, he's charming, and he wants to do something that makes you happy; so if that means a museum date, then a museum date it shall be. He's very supportive of your interests and he would also welcome the opportunity to learn and become more aware of other cultures.

Pros:

Eager to go with you and is easy to talk to about all the museum subjects

He will try All the interactive pieces of the exhibit (puzzles, interactive touch screens, etc) because he wants to get the most out of the trip.

Easy to find in a crowd and has no problem (gently) muscling his way through to get to you if separated.

He is down to try any and all foods; so any themed foods is a go!

If there's outdoor activities to do around the museum as well, or any part that involves a bit of physical activity, he is thrilled and it is so endearing to see him so happy and also get to do fun activities with him

Cons:

His tail won't stop wagging because he's so happy to be around you and, while this is cute, it means that he has to be really careful not to wreck anything (especially in the gift shop)

I agree on the sensitive senses; he may get easily overwhelmed if you go during a busy time, so you have to try and plan the date for a less busy time.

Octavinelle - Jade

Jade loves learning about nature on land. He is fascinated by it and seems eager to try all sorts of new things. I think if the museum has a lot of nature themes, he would be thrilled to go there on a date with you. I think he'd also be interested in seeing what exhibits you enjoy as well!

Pros:

He's thought it through and done some research. There are parts he wants to see, and he marks those sections as Must Visits. He encourages you to do the same, so you both can spend time in the exhibits you really want to see together and not run out of time to enjoy them.

He is fascinated by a lot of the subject matter, so you get treated to watching him be genuinely excited about it. He feels the same about you when in the exhibits you highlighted. Jade likes seeing people's reactions to things, and I'm assuming since it's a date he is wanting to see your happy reactions.

He can, and will, go off on tangents about anything and everything he has researched. You don't need a guide. Jade is your guide.

He would make sure you don't get separated, and he is the ultimate chivalrous date; holding doors and making sure you both take breaks together from standing so long.

He spends as much time, or more, in the gift shop as you, so you don't have to feel like you're making him wait.

Cons:

He will give off a threatening aura to anyone who he thinks will ruin the date...which doesn't mean bad things for you necessarily, but it can be a little embarrassing watching him give that threatening smile to parents of children who keep running through the exhibits.

He will get annoyed if there is incorrect information about the Coral Sea listed in the museum. Again, not really a *problem* for you, but it does put a slight damper on the date for a moment.

He is awake at daybreak to start your date. He knows it's not for a while, but he's just that eager. He also decides you should be up so that you can make sure you have everything you need before the two of you set out.

Scarabia - Jamil

I also agree that Jamil would be the one from Scarabia to really enjoy a museum date. He's calmer, a little more interested in the exhibits than Kalim is. I think it would be just mentally stimulating enough for him, and also give him that calm environment he has been desperately wanting lately.

Pros:

Prepared a lunch, similar to how Trey did.

Looked up the museum ahead of time so he knew what sort of things to expect and make sure it aligned with both your interests

He's pretty much a model date. He's polite, thoughtful, and he definitely buys you a little present from the gift shop afterward.

He's great for discussions about anything, and likes learning about other cultures.

You will not be short on funds. At all. He has planned enough for the museum, plus extras, and he has emergency back-up cash ready as well. You could end up needing to stay overnight in a hotel and he would have it covered.

Cons:

Blatantly refuses to let you go anywhere on your own. He will wait outside the bathroom for you.

sometimes you have to remind him that you are capable of doing some things on your own and are an independent person

If anyone gets too close to you, he shoots them a glare. It's a little sweet, but it is kind of embarrassing because most of those people are just others who are trying to enjoy the exhibits too.

Pomefiore - Vil

I think Vil, being famous, would have his ways of dressing down and avoiding the paparazzi. And I think he would actually enjoy museums quite a lot. He strikes me as someone who recognizes how important it is to learn about various cultures, as well as history and how the world has evolved over time. Plus, museums are usually more chill than a lot of other date places. If there's a documentary showing in an attached theater, he'll be even more interested.

Pros:

Dresses stylishly but still blends in well. He also helps coordinate your outfit for the date; something cute but not outlandish for a museum.

He looked ahead at the schedule and there's a film showing; he thinks it would be a great chance to sit down after lots of walking through the museum and just enjoy the information passively. He's right, and your aching feet thank him.

He will buy you any one thing from the gift shop, and he also won't let you break your wallet trying to buy the entire shop. He's very persuasive.

He picks out a good restaurant nearby for a meal afterward, and it's healthy and filling food that won't leave you feeling bloated and will energize you after all that walking.

He is not excessively early when picking you up, but he's not late, just at a comfortable time.

Cons:

Very judgemental of the staff uniforms (they didn't get to choose the museum's colours, Vil)

Can look a bit aloof at times, so you may feel the need to check in and see if he's actually enjoying himself (it's his resting face. Just talk to him about it, he won't be upset)

Will Not be doing anything interactive; both because that's just not him and because he doesn't want to draw too much attention to himself in case anyone recognizes him.

Ignihyde - Ortho

I feel like Idia isn't coming out to a museum...unless it has something he absolutely wants. Ortho, on the other hand, cannot wait! He's ecstatic and he's torn between researching everything about it, and waiting to enjoy the experience in person. Either way, he is at your door bright and early and eager to get going.

Pros:

able to verify and fact-check things on-site.

Downloaded and memorized building blueprints; he always knows where the next bench, toilet, or water station is.

very eager to learn, and happy to experience it with someone he is close to. He will participate in everything he can. It makes for a very interesting day.

He wants to buy one of every plushie in the gift shop, and seeing him wander over to the cash register with a mountain of stuffies in his arms is super cute.

Cons:

can get a little lost in absorbing the information and sometimes forgets to look at the actual beauty of the museum display.

He participates in Everything. So it's a really long day. Be prepared and wear some good shoes.

Now you two have to carry all the plushies back home. Depending on if you drove or took public transport...that could be an interesting trip.

Diasomnia - Lilia

The very idea of Lilia going to a museum is humourous to me, and I think he would think so too. I think he wouldn't mind catching up on some information in case he missed anything in different parts of the world, and it's nice that it's all in one place. Plus, he gets to spend the day with you, which is something he enjoys. He does know a lot already, and he is not afraid to show it.

Pros:

Definitely will hold your hand and treat you chivalrously. He knows his manners and he wants you to have a good time.

He can give even more detail on certain displays than the museum employees, or any experts they bring in to talk about exhibits.

He isn't afraid to have fun and be a little silly. All museum dates should have a little silliness :)

He will spoil you with anything you ask for from the gift shop.

Cons:

If you see a display or exhibit on an event he witnessed, he will rearrange any and all statues/figurines/etc to the "correct" positions (ie. where he remembers them being at the time of said event). This definitely gets you both scolded multiple times. He is very pouty when he gets scolded

He wants to buy you more things. More. MORE. Are you *sure* you don't want that replica of the Briar Valley heirloom necklace? It's very accurate, he says. It would look lovely on you, he says. (It's over a hundred dollars, Lilia. Lilia, NO)

He brags to Malleus afterward and Now you have to deal with a pouty dragon who wants to go to a museum too.
