Sibuna Secret Santa 2024!

Alright guys!! **cracks knuckles**

Let's do this! Sibuna!

[incorrectsibunaquotes]

lmk why i’ve allowed myself to work myself into an emotional wreck over the denby sisters. they were sisters, man… idk

[joysmercer]

What if Willow and Mara became sinners?

ok unless im forgetting something major, the only way to "revive" the sinners would be to bring ammut into the world and then get rid of her with the staff just as they did in canon, right? otherwise their souls would just be stuck in a sarcophagus forever? so, the end result would be the same – the only difference would be how they get there and how smoothly the plan goes. (which, in canon, it happens very randomly, so you can only go up from there!) ok based on the notes, it's likely instructions were left with the phonograph, but in this case let's just assume one of them smashes it instead of patricia, leaving us in the exact same place as before. maybe they don't do it in the middle of the night (mara needs her 8h and willow doesn't seem like the kind to be convinced to wake up randomly for anything), though.

anyway, if willow and mara became sinners, it would probably have happened right when they discovered jerome's cheating – before patricia got taken. and given that willow's personality change specifically would be very obvious, i think the others would be clued-in by the dodgeball game – even without knowing exactly what was happening, they would be on the look out for Team Evil being Evil.

which means, once they read that book and learn what's happening, patricia would immediately figure out that denby's trying to manipulate her, and she wouldn't believe the messages when denby gives them to her.

so, all this to say that patricia would probably stay safe. which puts sibuna at an excellent position going forward! not only would she ensure none of the boys do stupid things to get themselves taken, but she's also still (somehwat) besties with joy. and remember, joy's probably freaking out about mara/willow acting weird too, and given that sibuna themselves are sneaking out of bed etc (hello, eclipse fiasco was like 2 days before this!), she'd probably ask to be clued-in.

(side note: yeah she doesn't want to be involved, but, like, when lives are on the line, i think she'd insist on it anyway. tor be damned.)

anyway. with joy there (and, probably, jerome in tow, given he'll also demand to know what's going on once he realizes it's not all an elaborate prank and his exes genuinely seem to be lacking consciences), there's no way in hell anyone from anubis is walking around without a buddy to keep them out of harms way (and diffuse any high-emotional situation before it becomes Team Evil fodder). so the remaining sinners would be victor, sweet, and some random kid from another house as it should have been anyway.

tldr; joy and jerome would provide some much needed level-headedness (or, at least, comparative level-headedness) to prevent any loss of Sibuna members.

so then the next order of business would be to stop team evil!! which, fabian would probably come to the same conclusion that I did – they would have to let them "win" in order to get the souls out of the sarcophagus.

but I feel like their ancestors would also be a bit quicker and point them towards the nursery rhymes straight away somehow so they get the staff assembled well in advance, get the intel from harriet so they know to keep the keys with eddie and kt when things happen, and basically while the others do become Sinners for half a minute w the rest of the school, they're certainly not guarding the gatehouse/etc so it's a lot smoother now than it was in the show. and no one's getting abandoned in chimneys or believing gross old men for literally no reason or sneaking keys into people's pockets without permission.

as for willow/mara sinner shenanigans i have no idea lskdfj i feel like mara would constantly try to set up elaborate traps (like legit physical traps) and rfs would just be sitting there facepalming. meanwhile willow would be utterly useless given how opposite her natural self is to any sinnerhood tendancies. like i think her brain would just be at war with herself the whole time. we know she's a descendant-ish and probably(?) has some kind of prophetic eye, and idk how Sinnerhood affects that but poor girl was probably being driven mad :(( luckily she wont remember any of it, though.

HOA Among Us Gameplay

Seasons Greetings! Are you a House of Anubis fan? Do you find yourself wanting a chance to experience being the characters themselves? Did you play the Among Us game at some point in your life? Do you want to unite with your fellow HOA fans and accuse them of murder?

Well, this is the place for you!

Listen, as Sibuna followers we’re on top of anything spooky and creepy. Let’s put ourselves to the test and have a nice gameplay of Among Us. Maybe three rounds, maybe more depending how we’re feeling after.

We play as characters, try to be in character for as long as possible. If you’re Fabian or Nina, be super sleuthy. If you’re Patricia never stop accusing people or causing fights. If you’re Jerome… you’re probably the impostor.

When?

On December 27th, on 5PM AST (time is a default and available to change if contacted) we shall connect and play a rousing game of Among Us, dress up and name ourselves after our chosen HOA character and figure out the two imposters among us. You heard that right, folks! Two imposters.

I will be posting the game entry code 10 minutes before we begin so everyone can get settled.

Which Among Us map will we explore?

Map will be The Airship (it has a very Anubis House vibe to it). But since it’s also larger than most, I suggest practice playing it solo. For more information, please DM me and I can teach you how. If not, the map can always go back to the original setting: The Skeld.

Now, who are you going to be?

There are 15 slots for a full Among Us gameplay and if we have more than 15 people interested, I suggest to repeat the activity with the others the next day on Dec. 23rd. Anyone interested in replaying can do so as well if there are slots available for the next day.

Until then, the characters provided are listed below. Please write in the replies if you are interested and which character you would like to play as! Remember that this is a commitment for December 22nd!

characters not available will be crossed off

Nina Martin - @incorrectsibunaquotes

Fabian Rutter - @fakeosirian

Chat option ideas:

- we can stick to the Among Us chat box

- or we can make a Discord call and all chat on it during voting and emergency meetings. Another fun thing about Discord is you can just type your message rather than speak if you don’t want to.

let’s explore the chaos of anubis house, shall we?

also, big thanks to @yackers for the hoa gifs, excellent as always!

[theosirianischosen]

That's minor to the errors I've seen in the final episodes of season 3.

House of Ammut: Right before the final scene that leads into the cliffhanger, it shows an establishing shot of Anubis House instead of the Gatehouse.

House of Heroes: The previous one might be a bit nitpicky. This one, however, is a real goof. Right after we get back from the commercial break, Harriet says, "You're right KT, I have forgotten about other people," and she throws Caroline's key to Eddie. At that point, she screams as Ammut (supposedly) turns her into a sinner. We hear the same sound effect played when a sinner's eyes glow red. However, not only are they not seen glowing red at that moment, but Harriet's eyes are never seen glowing red. Not once in that entire sequence. At all! The only reason we can deduce that she's a sinner is that her next line is about how they can all have a "happy ending," implying a desire for Ammut to win, and how, like the other sinners, she has no memory after getting the key from Denby (the moment she became a sinner) once Ammut is defeated.

i think it’s finally time i speak about this. the most breathtaking part to me is the fact that this error is put in multiple episodes…..every time i see that little finger i smile to myself 😌 reblog for good luck 👈

[kyniathewhovian]

just can’t stop myself from making hoa memes...

[lilydreaming13]

Caroline Denby was envious of the role entrusted to her sister Harriet. Dude, she is literally the caregiver of a centennial old man.

[macks-elena]

i'm rewatching parts of season 3 and i have so many questions about caroline and harriet's relationship pre-show. we know caroline was adopted, did they both know that from the start? i think it's unlikely they knew about the ceremony their whole lives, when and how did they find out? were they close before caroline stole her sisters identity? i wanted so badly for there to have been a flashback/s, similar to what they did with sarah and victor - i feel like it would explain caroline and her motivations better.

[incorrectsibunaquotes]

She probably didn’t want to risk killing him or any other students…not that she gave much of a shit about it when she sent in Willow without any protection without telling anyone

That Scene in S3 where Harriet drives through the crowd in the stolen hospital van? She should’ve hit Robert and at least knocked him down.

I feel very strongly about this.

[piper-williamson]

my hoa ranking of characters — least favorite to favorite

not all characters are on this list but the ones i felt like i could rank as of rn. there’s too many minor characters i don’t care for and it’s not that i particularly care for the others i just remembered them enough to rank.

~~~~~~~~~~

rufus — -70969943853/10

kidnapped patricia. and jerome. and trudy. willing to commit human sacrifice of a kid. threatened them with electric bees or whatever. have had nightmares about him. thrilled that bitch is dead

denby — -10/10

so threatening with her words but she’s all talk. no action. kinda makes me hate her more? but in a different way. storyline is so messy like how did she even find out harriet’s destiny and how did she then decide she wanted to awaken a >hundred year old man and basically a hell demon?? like girl just go work for donald trump or somethin

vera — -6/10

not as annoying as denby but still like what did she even want? to be with rufus? why?!?? creepy af the time she was frozen dead but like not.

mick — 1/10

just,,, there. all he does is be in love triangles and play the sports. half of his storylines are just him leaving. patricia says there’s a man in the house (rufus) and he eats a banana. n who gives their gf and “just a friend” matching bracelets?!? 1 point for not being evil.

victor — 1.5/10

as much as i wanna put him above mick, he yells too much. calm down old man. 1 point for caring for the kids enough to not carry on when he found out about the whole human sacrifice thing. also saving joy in s2. y’know what he gets half a point more than mick.

trudy — 4/10

trudy is heartwarming but holy shit is she oblivious. Is Just Ok with “robert smith” being there even when she has no confirmation of his identity. very loyal to the kids and does protect them from a lot of shit. writers did her dirty a lot of the time.

mara — 5/10

ok listen. i don’t dislike mara. i just tend to favor the sibuna mystery storylines, and all of her stories are more realistic scenarios. that being said i love her helping poppy and i also love the sisterhood thing in s3. but also mara why the FUCK would you fall for mick like he’s mick??!?

kt — 7/10

written into hoa way better than on shows like h2o where there’s just one sentence about emma being gone and that’s that. she wasn’t just nina’s replacement, she was her own person. love her personality and her friendship with eddie. 100% a lesbian. only reason she’s so low is cuz no matter how good she is of a replacement character she still kinda is one and i don’t do well with those. i’m working on it.

nina — 8/10

i love nina so much. fabina is so cute together. i think the only reason i have her so low and don’t wanna put her higher is cuz i always hate main characters, even though i don’t hate nina. my mind is strange.

amber — 8/10

dumb blonde stereotype but who cares i love her. provides much comic relief for me especially in s2. ping pong queen. also love her bday episode. ungrateful for alfie at times. also liked mick but it’s a little more understandable cuz Hot Guy cliche. but was also mean to mara about it. but also a lot of that was mick’s fault #blamemick

alfie — 8/10

class clown who’s loyal af. Actually completes amber’s bf trial list. would go through hell for her. always feeling like he has to prove himself to the group but he’s always been an asset. we love him.

willow — 8/10

was such a comfort character when i was little. for some reason rewatching she was less of one. still absolutely so pure of heart and lovable. somebody get this girl a hedgehog.

eddie — 9/10

cool dude™. top notch bf. peddie is one of my fav ships ever. he kinda gets all heroic in s3 but s3 has a whole set of issues. plot twist reveal of his daddy issues. great development while being a great character the whole time.

fabian — 9/10

such a solid dude. guy-falls-for-girl-first trope to the max. he’s awkward and nerdy but not really cocky or annoying. fabian defense squad for life. point off for kissing joy like dude besides the outfit she looks nothing like nina come on.

jerome — 9/10

terrible person at times, but great character. comfort character of mine. his flaws allowed him to be developed throughout the show. he feels very real and human and i love him.

piper - 10/10

obsessed w her cuz i’m also pretty similar to her. both of us go (went) to music school and love patricia. not that i think she’s a BETTER character than a lot of the characters lower on this list, but this is a ranking of my favs so she has to be above them.

joy — 10/10

also a comfort character. i honestly feel most like joy out of all the characters. similar to jerome in that her character flaws lead to richer development. i live for it. was Literally held hostage by her parents and forced into a cult in s1. most of anubis house seemed to just brush that off. that doesn’t excuse her actions, but i love her growth throughout the series. not higher cuz she was kind of a dick to nina for a long while.

patricia — 10000000000+++/10

again i wish there were an infinity symbol. do i even have to say anything? witty and sarcastic and says what’s on her mind. i wish i were eddie cuz i’m in love w her. i know amber’s the one who went to fashion school, but patricia is a style icon. my gay awakening.

[sibunaranks]

Hmmm idk if this is a hole per se but I feel like so much could have been resolved if Sibuna explained their information to Sweets, because often times their goals were the same. Especially in season 3, when the kids and Victor/Sweets both wanted to wake Robert, they just didn’t want Denby to do it. Maybe if Eddie’d been like, “Dad I need to have a talk with you,” and then seriously explained everything and taken him to meet the real Harriet, the whole evil RFS thing could have been avoided.

Yup. This is a big one but like in most drama based/soap shows without this there is no story so it's used as a stepping stone. They should have talked though, like they didn't even TRY.

[dashuisofanubis]

Harriet Denby ily

[incorrectsibunaquotes]

I could watch/read/write a whole prequel about Harriet and Caroline. Their relationship is so fascinating to me and so under-explored in canon. How did things get so bad between them?

[joysmercer]

the kids successfully perform the ceremony instead of the adults and frobisher wakes up ‘good’

ok first things first, the entirety of 3b just. wouldn't have taken place if this happened haha

backstory: the kid's plans to get the adults out of the way still fail, until there's a legitimate fire alarm at Anubis (eddie may or may not have deliberately burnt a batch of cookies) and they evacuate every building on that side of campus, including the gatehouse. Patricia and alfie grab jerome and joy and force them to circle back as soon as they can without anyone noticing, and they perform the ceremony (harriet appears somehow too idk). jerome and joy are confused but trust their friends more than the teachers so they go along with it. the teachers come back, re-perform the ceremony (incorrectly, but it doesn't matter), and discover RFS awake the next day.

obviously, the adults are overjoyed with robert waking up. Victor (and Sweet, to an extent) immediately demand he help them with the elixir, although Robert doesn't know the formula either. 

Victor also gives him a rundown on what happened to sarah/Anubis/the chosen one-osirian drama/etc since he was put to sleep (obviously making himself look g r e a t in the process, lest RFS think any less of him for, y'know, treating his daughter, the chosen one, the society, the descendants, etc like crap.)

sweet then takes some of his $ to set up some kind of education scholarship, maybe help send some of the kids at the school to uni if they couldn't afford it otherwise.

denby is found out immediately because RFS knows she's not the true Keeper. the other two use their connections to that police officer and nurse delia to have caroline arrested and harriet released from the hospital/given the care she deserves to recover from whatever caroline had done to her

after taking like a week to acclimate himself to the 21st century, Robert just…leaves. there’s not really a reason for him to hang around now that his home is an entire school that he has no part in running

He goes to say hi to KT first, though

he takes the opportunity to explain exactly why Charles was sent away and give KT whatever inheritance she's entitled to

but then she realizes that it's all stolen/produced through colonial means and she insists he go back to egypt, return the stuff, and "make things right"

he's a bit reluctant at first but then Patricia bursts into the room out of nowhere like "you made my life a living hell, you know that" and he's so taken aback by this girl who a) looks exactly like his old coworker; and b) is scolding him as if he isn't her elder (kids these days, am I right) that he ignores her in favor of KT just because that seems to be an easier conversation to have

so anyway, he leaves. he's gone. he's absolutely no help in this au

Sweet gives all 4 descendants straight A's because he finally comes to his senses and realizes they deserve it after being re-traumatized for like no good reason, actually

no mystery or anything pops up until the end of term (tor) for the kids. so, meanwhile,

the sibuna members sit joy and jerome down and explains what was going on during the eclipse ceremony. they're horrified, particularly joy—after what that man indirectly did to her, she can't fathom why anyone would want to wake him up.

it's not until fabian explains that it was either them or the teachers, and it had to be the former if they wanted any chance of him not being Evil, that she calms down

she still thinks it was a stupid idea though. "what were you going to do if it failed??? dumbasses"

the revenge plot: starts off the same. however, everyone is now actively involved in the sisterhood, enabling Patricia and KT to immediately put a stop to the fake-dating idea because they realize how ridiculous it is (joy and willow are too close to think rationally about it, which is partially why it went on for as long as it did in the original show). mara has a lot of support and encouragement and moves on in a healthy way.

patricia and eddie: ok so it starts off at a sisterhood meeting soon after the revenge plot is resolved…patricia's basically the only one with tea so they're all teasing her and she reluctantly admits that she misses eddie and has feelings for him yadda yadda.

KT offers to figure out if he feels the same and goes about it in basically the same nonsensical way it happens in the show. she then gives patricia the idea for the fake date but forgets to tell mara about it, so the whole "No!…okay, this is a conversation I can't win" thing at the breakfast table still happens

the fake date is also pretty much the same but afterward, instead of going straight to eddie, patricia chickens out a bit (because she didn't really see his reaction and therefore doesn't know for sure if he likes her still) and the girls are like "r u stupid"

patricia refuses to listen even when joy drags fabian in ("oh, be quiet mara, it's only for a minute") to confirm that eddie is, in fact, still pining. irdc how cliché this but fabian and joy are so fed up of this nonsense that they "accidentally" lock them in a closet or abandoned classroom or something, and that's when they finally make up – *cue bottle episode*

patricia doesn't get paired off with ben during the trust exercise thing because they have a competent business studies teacher who doesn't make up lessons to manipulate her students, but she and ben do end up as partners for a drama lesson and eddie gets heated watching them practice Shakespeare with each other

she goes to Isis dodgeball practices, but not to cut oranges—she knows how important the tourney is to eddie so she goes to take notes on their strategies or whatever, with plans to share it with Anubis. Eddie's behavior ends up pissing her off though so she doesn't

that weird date still happens where he takes a call from his mom and refuses to tell her that it's his mom.

the bits where she clocks him with his arm around KT still exist too

they have a pretty intense argument after the tournament's over and she tells him they need to take a break if he can't trust her and she can't trust him

KT basically knocks him upside the head, he goes and apologizes but also asks exactly what she meant by the fact that she couldn't trust him and then tells her she has nothing to be jealous about etc

after establishing that communication is important and they both have issues but they can work those out together, they're good for all eternity because i say so

eddie and sweet never quite recover their relationship. something about the casual way he was just shipped off to the hospital alone makes eddie mistrustful, and sweet never really forgets how eddie almost ruined the ceremony for them

but honestly? it's okay. he has a family still.

jerome and joy: so obviously the fake dating doesn't happen and honestly joy just avoids him because of the whole cheating thing. 

but then mara inherits Letdown, joy offers to wash him, and jerome just happens to walk into the kitchen when that's happening and decides to help. they bond

the play isn't about jara at all but mara still ends up writing it (with fabian, this time) and joy and jerome end up co-directing because their drama teacher is the Epitome of All Evil (aka she drew names out of a hat)

the first kiss happens after eddie and KT, the leads at the time, refuse to rehearse that scene, so they have to do it instead.

“see guys? it means nothing, it's just acting." *cue eddie and kt’s eye rolls*

jerome walks into joys room afterward and asks her out because "we both know that wasn't just acting." she says no.

--sidebar about the play--no one disappears and they all pass drama…eventually. they do have to completely rewrite the script two days before opening though because they wrote in another fabian-as-victor-for-laughs thing and victor found out and was not amused. so they hurriedly hold auditions in the living room and willow demonstrates the life cycle of a tree for hers (because that's too iconic not to exist).

also alfie has way too much time on his hands now that sibuna has nothing to do so he makes a life-size RFS paper mache sculpture, brings it into the house, uses it in his audition for no reason. he has no idea there's an identical one six-feet under the Anubis foundation, though

anywho

joy and jerome spend a lot of time together during the play production and he falls for her. hard.

she does the same but it's super complicated because she's also around fabian a lot, plus the whole mara thing

until mara confesses that fabian's actually really smart and funny and she's never had more fun working on a school assignment in her life

and joy is not only not jealous at all, she's actually relieved to hear that

meanwhile jerome's at his wit's end because he really really likes joy but she keeps having deep and/or flirting conversations with him and then #disappearing. so he goes to trudy for help

he writes her a letter (very similar to the one he did in the show, except without the "you might not truly like me" parts) and gives it to her like two hours after she has that conversation with mara

and they're also happy together forever because I say so

mara/fabian: so mara starts to have feelings for the guy during the writing process but doesn't want to say anything because she's convinced he's still hung up on nina

especially because nina re-establishes contact with all of them right after the eclipse ceremony and The Original Trio has group facetime calls, like, all the time

except one day, nina calls mara instead

"hey, so I got asked to winter formal by someone, and not as friends, and I said yes. I know you and fabian are close…could you help me break the news?"

mara says no only because she thinks this is a private conversation and she's not going to meddle

but when fabian comments "yay! have fun you two!" on the pic nina posts of the asking, mara knows her path is clear

so she asks him if he'd like to grab lunch with her in town the next day.

"like as a date?"

"yeah."

":)"

willow and alfie: mostly the same as in the show except he doesn't miss a date for sibuna matters. 

they go on double-dates with peddie for a while until one day they come back covered in paint and slime and trudy makes a rule that they can't go out unsupervised anymore

now that KT isn't worried about her great-grandpa, she has time to get a girlfriend

amber's constantly texting or facetiming someone in the house, so much so that there are times they've forgotten she doesn't actually live on the continent anymore

all the kiddos study/write college apps together every Thursday evening and go into town together every Friday (for grocery shopping/restocking their sweet and alcohol stash). Saturday evenings they make dinner (trudy insisting they have to learn some life skills before uni) and then sneak into the cellar for a midnight feast.

Victor turns a blind eye to that last bit

also they're all terrible liars so mara and willow eventually learn about Sibuna during said midnight feasts

a few weeks before graduation, RFS sends a letter to KT (because he doesn't quite understand email) and lets her know that he saw Sophia milling about when he was at the school and immediately recognized her as Evil. said letter also has the locations of the touchstones, so TOR lasts like 10 minutes in this AU

the osirian still gets sacrificed

overall, though, they're all just happy and content and get a break because god-knows they deserve it.

[carebooks]

alright i watched the whole third season of House of Anubis

I first have to say how much I enjoyed the leads: Eddie and KT. They have such a good chemistry and they’re honestly hilarious together. As I mentioned before, I did ship them together when I was younger and first watched the show but with watching it again, I would keep them as friends. Best friends. (especially since KT is hella gay I don’t care what anyone says) They totally give me Cloak and Dagger vibes, especially in terms of partnership. At the start of the show, they were alone, they had no one to confide in, no one to be with, Eddie was torn about letting Sibuna know about Nina, still not over Patricia. KT just lost her grandfather and came to England on a quest with some key and vague warnings, she was hella confused but still did so out of loyalty to her grandfather (this baby is too precious and good for this world, i swear). And next thing you know, fate and Osirian visions bring them together. They form a partnership, they snoop around the Gatehouse, they form a bond. And I love it so much. What I love especially, is that at the end, when the sinners are everywhere and even the Sibuna members are taken as sinners, it’s down to Eddie and KT, just like the beginning. Sure, they get help from Willow and Harriet, but they lose Willow pretty quickly, and right at the end, Harriet sacrifices herself so they can get the other key and lock away the evil for good. And together, Eddie and KT join the keys and lock the evil as one. They started together, and they ended it together, and I think that was really poetic. I know that the Osirian and the Chosen One are meant to be the pair and the Ying & Yang, but in this particular case, Eddie and KT were a bond formed by friendship and hardship rather than destinies planned or written in the stars by the gods, yes fate brought them together, but only because they knew they could only accomplish their tasks with each other. I especially loved when they took down Ammut, and Robert tried a last ditch attempt to get KT to feel guilty over doing this, telling her that he would die if Ammut was locked away. It brings in KT’s loyalty to her family, even when it’s bad, but then Eddie yells during the commotion, “Don’t trust him, trust me!” And I think it really brings a full circle what a great partnership and bond they have.

Other than that, it’s really just random stuff I liked

i liked that Willow could sense bad vibes that Robert had whenever he was around Anubis House, as well as sensing the bad vibes that sinner!Victor and sinner!Patricia gave off. I kinda wished they could’ve looked more into that. Like she was naturally sensitive to these things or something.

Her relationship with Alfie was a nice touch, seeing him with someone who liked the same things that he did was real cute. Especially seeing them happy.

Victor and Sweet playing that card game gave me life.

Joy’s new attitude and look were certainly appreciated

While I preferred the Jerome that developed in S2 and won Mara over (especially over the course of the first season and second, i mean talk about a slow burn done right) and rather he didn’t cheat on her and Willow, the Joy+Jerome ship wasn’t terrible. I much prefer the developed S2 Jerome, I’ve said this twice now, but again, it wasn’t terrible. (but real talk? KT and Joy should’ve happened)

Amber being the one to bring Sibuna and the pair Eddie & KT together because *Amber Millington voice* “Hello people! Isn’t it obvious? Work together.”

Like that girl knew what was up. Well, she did invent Sibuna, not surprised.

Alfie was perfection this season, leave him be. Also, highlights of him:

“Crypts are for dead people!” “I’m afraid of everything.” “Guys, go! Get out of here! Sibuna! SIBUNNAAA!!”

I already talked plenty of Eddie and KT being the best, so yeah. But imma do it again anyway.

I have a theory that Eddie focused his primary Osirian instinct of being protective over the Chosen One to being protective over KT. Like he reffocused his powers to someone else for the time being. Nina wasn’t there, and when KT showed up in his vision it was almost like the house was telling him “You need to help her now. Keep her safe.” And I really like that.

It was especially shone a lot through out the season, and the last episodes too. 

When sinner!Patricia and sinner!Fabian had KT and wanted to exchange an artifact that Eddie had discovered, she told him to run and get away, like they did when Alfie told them to leave him behind. And he says, “That was Alfie, this is you.”

And when Eddie, KT, Willow and Harriet went to get the sun key from Caroline, and she managed to take KT and Willow and turn them into sinners, Eddie says, “Not KT,” very worriedly. Later on he’s hard on himself, “I can’t believe they got to KT.”

It was interesting that half the season was awakening the man in the tank and the other half was releasing evil into the world. Like a different feel for half the season, not many shows do that.

I kinda despise the fact that the things I didn’t like are probably going to be longer.

Let’s go paragraph first so, how about that plot? First off, the whole thing is very weird for Sibuna. The first two seasons were about riddles and thinking things through. They were real mysteries. In this, it was more direct, they had an obvious problem, they had to stop the bad guys from waking up a bad guy, and then literal evil converted their own friends against each other. It sounds super interesting for a Vampire Diaries or Teen Wolf or even My Babysitter’s A Vampire plot line (or just one episode) since those shows were more active based. This season barely had any hidden things or riddles, and half of it had Sibuna paranoid and working against each other which I’m sure no one really loved. Not to mention that the action mainly happened at the Gatehouse rather than the actual Anubis House, the center for two of the last mysteries. Now I know, I know, the new season couldn’t just be a copy, and having a third mystery with hidden compartments over the house would certainly be a lot for Robert and Louisa. But I mean, didn’t Het Huis Anubis have four seasons? They couldn’t just do their version of that? I’m guessing that they did something different (I really hope so, because if not, this is embarrassing)

things i did not like at all about this season

the fact that they twisted Mara’s character up in their new ‘messed up girl obsessed with a boy’ like Joy in S2. just- why?

the fact that they undid a bunch of Jerome’s development.

or how about the fact that all Jerome got to do this season was be part of a love triangle cheat fest and then a love drama with Joy. In S1 he shoved himself into Sibuna and Rufus and it was bad for him, but he was involved. And S2, he was just amazing, they managed to connect his family and his family troubles with something that Sibuna would’ve needed for the Mask of Anubis: the Frobisher Gem. It all came together perfectly.

we didn’t get anything of Mr. Sweet telling Eddie about his Osirian thing or their family history.

The way they treated KT when they thought she was evil. It was so messed up, honestly, that poor baby. (though I did appreciate that the other residents noticed, like at breakfast when she sat down and no one looked at her, and he said, “Good morning, KT.” and he just noticed something was wrong. And then Joy and Mara noticed. I just really feel like that was the moment where Jerome and Joy coulda been more involved with Sibuna again- wait what am I saying)

No, when they and Patricia and Alfie were at the Gatehouse and they tried to warn them about the ceremony is when JOY AND JEROME SHOULDA GOTTEN INVOLVED IN SIBUNA AGAIN. Or like, at least be more aware, I mean come on?? Joy, you’re better than this. And Jerome, you’ve seen enough weird stuff to know when it’s Sibuna-related and usually that means deadly-related so you’re whole having two girlfriends thing can wait for a while.

Caroline Denby sucked. (And Caroline Forbes from TVD is a fan favorite of mine and not to mention that MY NAME IS CAROLINE so imagine that).

the fact that we got rid of the real Victor was kinda just wrong for me. I mean, Victor has always been a pain in the ass with the kids, and he’s usually wanted what they were after as well but he’d never resort to murder or anything like that, so when he got turned into a sinner and lost his friggin soul (yes, they said that, this is true) we truly lost Victor and I didn’t like that at all.

Season 1 was all about a mystery but also partly conspiracy, there was a moment between all five of Sibuna where they got proof and realistic statements after Joy lied to them (at the insistence of her dad) they were starting to think that the mystery wasn’t real and almost backed out of the search. Remember? Nina said, “You guys aren’t giving up on me, right?” Anyway, that was that. It was all about finding more information about what really happened and what’s really going on. About finding answers.

Season 2 was darker, it was a race against time because unlike the mystery of the first season, this one was more about saving themselves. Nina’s life and her friends and Gran would’ve died, it’s a great motivator to go through the tunnels. And there were moments where we see just how serious this is, there’s one shot where Nina is in a dream sequence in the house and all her friends are running away from her, terrified. And even when Victor sees her, he backs away in fear and hides himself in his office and then in the mirror it’s revealed Nina’s dressed and appears as Senkhara. And then when Senkhara freezes Vera, Victor knows it’s time to back away, he’s scared, he’s worried, so we see him do what he has to do to get Vera back. And when he’s playing the game? With Sibuna as his game pieces on the huge board? When Alfie disappeared, he backed out, he knew when to stop and almost considered calling Mr. Sweet to do something about it.

Meanwhile, Season 3 was all dark evil stuff, run for your life or your literal soul will be taken. It’s the end of the world if they awaken this sleeping dude, we need heroes to stop the bad team. Oh no, he’s awake, now he’s going to unleash hell and evil and it’s the end of the world, only now everyone’s converted to the evil and it’s real bad, we need heroes desperately. 

This season might’ve been more dark or good vs. evil type of thing but it just didn’t feel right for HOA. The show has always been subtle, it’s quiet and the kids solve the mystery and they do everything very hushed and private, this season sort of felt like WHOAH PIE IN YOUR FACE GUESS WHAT IM A SIBUNA what with turning the whole school into sinners, I just didn’t like the whole school being this active. but that’s me personally. 

Robert Frobisher-Smythe being the one in the tank is ridiculous considering wE SAW HIS FRIGGIN GHOST AT THE END OF S1. And honestly, bringing him in and saying that he’s going to bring forth a darkness to make people evil and bring the apocalypse is just a really bland plot. It’s no mystery, it’s legit good guys vs. a villain. It’s a ‘save the world’ plot, yeah like we’ve never seen that before.

We love the mystery, where was it? oh right, nowhere.

When the four descendants of Robert’s expedition party were revealed: Patricia, Joy, Alfie and Jerome, there could have so much content.

The four of them speaking in unison while they sleep should’ve been used more.

Remember the childhood lullabies they were supposed to use to find a random artifact? Those lullabies were riddles and other than that cylinder that KT opened using her synesthesia, it was the only thing that made it feel like good old days of House of Anubis.

again, making Robert the man in the tank and then evil was just stupid. im not gonna approach the fact that he took the punishment meant for his expedition party and that’s why he’s cursed, and now he’s evil? oh gods

again, seeing the three OG Sibuna gang members evil and not on Sibuna kept killing me.

that ending bugged me

like oh no! everyone’s gone insane, we gotta shut this thing down before it devours more souls. TWO HOURS LATER and now it’s time to enjoy fireworks and Fabian and Mara and flirting and its so unnecessary, whyy??

Leave Mara with Jerome (in which he didnt cheat) and Willow is happy with Alfie and KT and Joy are out there being gay as hell. Those are the ships that shoulda happened.

Honestly, when I think back at S2 and Amber and Nina are there, it just brings back such good vibes. S2 really is the best season, but I stand by my love for Eddie and KT. Friendship goals AF. Like I said before, the third season was in your face, it was loud and it was telling everyone ‘end of the world’ and when you think about it, it’s perfect for the characters they introduced. S1 and S2 fit so well for Nina, because she’s like that, she’s quiet yet badass and is about riddles and mysteries. Meanwhile, Eddie is loud and wants to get this over with, LET’S BREAK INTO OUR TEACHER’S HOUSE BECAUSE I HAVE A HUNCH. YOU WANNA SEE THE SLEEPING MAN’S FACE, FABIAN? LET’S REMOVE THE GLASS. LET’S STEAL THE TANK WITH THE SLEEPING MAN IN BROAD DAYLIGHT.  LET ME JUST BARGE INTO VICTOR’S OFFICE TO TAKE YOUR KEY BACK, KT. LET’S DO WHATEVER IMPORTANT TASK OR MISSION WE NEED HAVE TONIGHT. LET ME BANG AGAINST PIPES AND BRICKS REALLY LOUDLY. And let me tell you, it just makes me laugh how into it he gets, like “why not?” it’s just so funny for some reason. Anyway, I think they decided to make this season fit what they wanted Eddie to be and that’s what they did. I loved Eddie’s performance, I loved him so much, I loved KT more. But I just didn’t love this season.
