Honestly, I think I’ve discovered the actual reason Amber and Alfie don’t work in HOA like they work in the original HHA or DHA. And it’s not entirely due to the actual canon events that are written for this version of the pairing (the dating handbook, Amber’s “no” to Alfie’s attempt at breaking up, forcing Amber into the trial relationship in the first place, etc., etc.), though it certainly doesn’t help. It actually comes down to how their characters were adapted for the English version of the show, and how they are fundamentally different than the OGs.

I’ll start with Alfie first. Alfie in HOA is a goober. He’s doofy, well-meaning, and most importantly childlike. Not even just childish, but childlike. He’s boyish and bubbly, and he certainly makes some weird, sorta sexual comments (especially in S1), but on the whole he’s quite an innocent character. Essentially, he reads as very young. Which he is, especially at the start of the show where he’s probably supposed to be about 15/16, but could even be as young as 14.

Appie, on the other hand, is also a goober. But a different type. He’s honestly way more like Jeroen than Alfie is like Jerome, meaning he’s a something of a womanizer, a bit douchier, and on the whole reads a lot older than Alfie, which I’m almost certain is canonical across all characters (with HHA characters supposedly ending the show at the age of 19, with the timeline across the 4 seasons being only two years— three at most).

The few things character-wise both Appie and Alfie share intrinsically are that they’re besties with Jeroen/Jerome who doesn’t always treat him well, his love for a good practical joke, and (in earlier seasons) his pining for Amber. Of course, Appie also goes through phases of being a bit of a ladies man (see his random interest in Mara), but on the whole these things are constant. But already, the English version of the character is a lot more twinkly eyed and is like “Amber’s really pretty, I hope she notices me” as opposed to the Dutch “Damn she’s hot, lemme tap that��. It’s very subtle, because he’s obviously not a sleazy, bad guy, but it’s though being friend zoned by Amber (for the whole series) that Appie begins to loosen up and be less of a sleaze and more of the silly and whimsical guy we know him as; that’s because of Dutch Amber’s characterization.

I’ll come back to why all that matters, after I discuss the Ambers. (For the sake of keeping track, I’ll refer to them by their last names). Rosenbergh is a rich, pretty, ditzy party girl, but she’s incredibly perceptive. She sniffs out bullshit in an instant, especially with the Mick and Mara situation, but overall she has wicked foot-in-mouth syndrome and just sorta blurts out the first thing that pops into her head even if it’s the stupidest thing you’ve ever heart in your life. She’s extravagant, over-the-top, full of whimsy, and is downright silly. Rosenbergh is simultaneously a ditz and very smart. Simultaneously is the key word here.

Millington is not. She is a much more toned down version of her OG counterpart, and I think that is mostly due to the different actresses takes on the character. This isn’t to say, Millington isn’t any of the those of adjectives I used earlier, but the difference between the English and the Dutch versions of the character is that while Rosenbergh is both smart and ditzy, Millington is simply smart and plays at being ditzy. At least that’s how it reads, and how it reads is incredibly important in this case. Millington would never be caught dead in some of the situations Rosenbergh found herself in, because she’s a fundamentally more uptight version of the character.

So why does all this matter? Because the version of Alfie that we get from the very start is far more like Appie after a good hunk of his subtle character development— far more like Amber Rosenbergh. Amber Millington, on the other hand, is not the type of girl to ever mesh that well with a wild, goofy personality like Alfie’s. She’s just not. Alfie would work super well with Rosenbergh, however, because she’s this whimsical girl with a lot of heart. It’s why Appie works so well with her, too.

This isn’t a diss of HOA!Amber, by the way, because her English characterization is a masterful adaptation of the OG, but there’s a reason why even in S3 of HOA, at the supposed established point of Amfie’s relationship, they still feel so estranged from each other. At the end of the day, Millington has a different outlook on life and an entirely different mindset than Alfie. This isn’t to say they couldn’t work ever, but they’re just not the same pairing that Amber/Appie are.

It also didn’t help that Amfie had no best friends era. Like, sometimes I think we forget that Amber and Appie didn’t get together until the reunion movie. Like they weren’t a canon couple in the series. He liked her, but she didn’t like him back and they were besties. Their chemistry was chaotic and silly, and they had to grow into each other for them to work. Which is why they work. Amber and Alfie never did that, and part of me wonders if that wasn’t entirely because of the plot the English writers put down for them, but rather because the ways Ana and Alex played the characters off each other just didn’t allow for it.

Which brings me to my last point: Willow. Arguably, Willow is more like HHA!Amber than HOA!Amber is, and that’s all because of the magic word I’ve been using this whole, poorly-written essay: whimsy. Willow is the glitterbomb to Alfie’s fuse. Their dynamic feels exactly the same as Appie and Amber because Willow is the writers’ second attempt at having Amber Rosenbergh in the picture, and that’s why Walfie works so much more naturally.

Anyway, this got long and I’m sure I missed stuff but yeah. TL;DR: Amfie was unable to replicate Ampie bc they’re just different

[non-cannon]

Alfie, trying to flirt: So, you come around here often? Amber, confused: I mean, this is my house, so yeah.

[lialovesstuff]

Might be a bit of an unpopular opinion but I actually like Alfie with Willow far better than with Amber. I loved Amfie but it was very much a case of Alfie having to change to fit ambers standards, whereas with Willow he could just be himself and she complimented him really well.

Amber: You are an absolute fucking dork. Alfie singing: Yeah, but I'm your dork! Amber: *sighs* Yeah, you're my dork.

Pretty much all of my OTPs exist only in head. If you look at them in canon you would hate them, but in the world of my mind (and fics) they are perfect 💜.

writing help: project london

so... it's been a while, yeah?

heh, sorry about that. but i will definitely try to be more active from now on as i try to get back into a writing routine and post more content.

with the topic of writing being mentioned, i would like to ask my lovely followers and moots on here to help me with something.

i have officially started on a big girl project that i am nicknaming Project London. and what project london is categorically a dark YA romantic suspense.

what project london is to me is a love letter to my favorite series of my childhood. realistically, project london is a darker, more mature retelling of the series House of Anubis.

all of that to say that i'm having some trouble with outlining this behemoth of a project. if anyone that comes across this post--moots, followers, or otherwise--that have ideas of scenes that they think should be included in this, please feel free to share.

love you all! until next time.

Endgame; House of Anubis *B3* - [17.2] House of Hustle ~ Pt 2 (on Wattpad) https://www.wattpad.com/732272703-endgame-house-of-anubis-b3-17-2-house-of-hustle-%7E?utm_source=web&utm_medium=tumblr&utm_content=share_reading&wp_uname=SarahRCubitt13&wp_originator=mpn3KuDmwBEL%2FblXRRA%2BuVt2JV%2BTXab9pi4iZwYNif%2Feano2Yikzy1SQPGw5iTmG9ddgvP1%2B22Ffmbcixa%2BwERBB2ly8IHBVOhcQGcbGXBwdJEgRPYc8v97dtm3UD7Vj endgame /ˈɛn(d)ɡeɪm/ noun the final stage of a game such as chess or bridge, when a few pieces or cards remain. The Sibuna gang are back for yet another year, however, Nina Martin has not returned with them, but there are some fresh faces to make up for her absence. Eddie and Camilla both seem to be having visions of new girl KT's dying grandfather giving her a key and telling her to go to Anubis House; which means that Camilla is dragged into yet another mystery at the school because like hell she was going to let her Osirian go get himself killed because if she has learnt anything from 2 years of adventures... nothing is what it seems at their school. Plus a new teacher Miss Denby seems to hang out with Victor and Mr Sweet way too often to be normal and Camilla is sure they aren't just having tea and talking their favourite Opera. On top of all that Camilla finally finds out the truth behind her magic and her destined future. If she thought her family were Egypt mad for no reason she was soon going to learn their connection to the Egyptian times is not as superficial as just her family being fascinated by the past. If you like this book you should check out the rest of the series: Book 1: Impossible; House of Anubis Book 2: Unsteady; House of Anubis Book 4: Sibuna; And The Son of Osiris Book 5; Sibuna; And The Book of Thoth Book 6; Sibuna; And The Curse of The Pharaohs Cover by SarahRCubitt13 *Disclaimer, I do not own House of Anubis.

I saw a tiktok just now about shipping, and I just wanna lyk that if I’m ever hating on a ship, please know that I am not trying to yuck your yum, it is just genuinely not for me. Shipping is part of what makes fandom fun, and I never wanna be the person who makes you feel like you can’t enjoy a ship/make content for a ship

[non-cannon]

I had what I thought was a great idea, Sibuna as a polycule. They're all friends with each other, and Nina is dating Fabian, Amber, and Patricia, Amber is also dating Alfie, and Patricia is also dating Eddie.

Then I realized a flaw with this idea: Nina doesn't have enough hands. Fabian can hold hands with just Nina, no problem. Amber can hold hands with both Nina and Alfie. Patricia can hold hands with both Nina and Eddie. But Nina cannot hold hands with all three of them at the same time!

I don't know how to fix this!

Sorry but if you look in the background of every shot Fabian's in but not speaking, epsecially S1&2, mf Brad Kavanagh is always doing The Most with his ensemble acting, man heard the phrase 'acting is reacting' and RAN

SIPs cultivate the habit of regular saving and investing. This makes sure you don't spend aimlessly.

How to Choose the Best SIP Plan :
