#so my thoughts were that denby and patricia got her to the gatehouse by saying

[incorrectsibunaquotes]

In Two is Company, how hard did it take the Sinners to get Mara to sin? Do we ever get to see her transformation?

I could give you a long-winded answer, but the real answer is I kept it vague on purpose bc I have no idea how they got her 😭 But tbh that was how the actual writers approached like half of the Sinners’ getting captured so I don’t feel too bad about it LOL

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.

The Guy Who Didn’t Like Musicals AU

A/N: I wrote this a while back, after we had a great conversation on the discord about which characters from TGWDLM the HoA kids would be. Naturally, I forgot about this and I found it while sorting though my files so I thought I might as well share

It starts off as just a typical day. Well, better than typical, because typical usually involves mysteries and life and death situations. Although, Eddie still hasn’t submitted his Business coursework, despite it being due tomorrow.

When he returns from school, Eddie walks into the living room and is immediately set upon by Willow, who asks him if he’d be willing to sponsor a hedgehog. He declines, saying he needs his money for more important causes.

Sibuna are going back to the school to watch the annual musical production, this time being a performance of Mamma Mia, before KT goes on a school trip to France. Eddie declines the offer to go on the grounds that he would rather do anything than go see Mamma Mia. 

That night, a meteor crashes into the school grounds, an event that was predicted by Robert Frobisher Smythe almost a hundred years ago. The Secret Society has been waiting for it’s arrival, and were first on the scene to investigate it. 

Life at Anubis house continues as normal, with Trudy singing as she prepares them breakfast. Willow, who got up early and helped Trudy, comes up to Eddie and asks if he’s changed his mind on wanting to save the endangered hedgehogs and performs a song on how they need to be helped.

As Sibuna (sans KT) walk to school, the kids see a bunch of students performing what must be a flash mob. They repeatedly ask them to join, but Fabian declines politely before Patricia attacks them.

Mr Sweet asks Eddie into his office. Eddie assumes it’s to berate him for not submitting his coursework, or at least for a father-son chat. Instead, he’s shocked and freaked out when Eric begins to sing about his deepest desires.

Eddie flees, seeing groups of students singing and dancing throughout the school. He rushes into the canteen, where he finds Joy, who laughs at his irrational fear that the world is becoming a musical. However it’s at that moment that the dinner ladies begin to sing about poisoning the food, and students around them choke and collapse to the floor, before rising and beginning to join in. 

Joy and Eddie flee to the back of the school, where they find their other housemates, except KT who’s on the school trip, and Willow who is still singing aggressively about saving the planet, now accompanied by a group of backup singers.

They realise they need to find somewhere to hide while they figure out what’s happening and decide on the Gate house. But when they go to leave the school grounds, they’re cornered by Denby, Victor and Sweet. Denby and Victor flee when Jerome slams a bin lid across Sweet’s head. Eddie says they can’t just leave him, he’s his dad, so they haul Eric along with them.

When they arrive at the gate house, they find Robert Frobisher Smythe, who initially refuses to let them in, until they prove they’re not infected by performing a truly awful rendition of Moana. (It’s a good job the HoA kids only performed a play, not a musical)

They tie up Eric, and Mara offers to keep an eye on him while Robert goes to find equipment. But Sweet comes to and escapes, but not before turning Mara. The others are chilling in the front room, when Mara enters, telling them they need to join her, but they’re going to die either way. Robert comes into the room and shoots her, sending everyone into hysterics, despite Robert’s insistence that she was no longer Mara. 

The group realises the severity of the situation, and they’re glad that at least KT will be safe, which is when they receive a phone call from her asking what’s going on. Her trip was cancelled, so she found Willow who started singing and dancing. Fabian tells her to go hide somewhere safe and that they’ll come rescue her. 

Fabian, Alfie and Eddie decide to go while Jerome, Joy and Patricia remain behind with Robert to try and discover an answer. The suggestion is made for Fabian to remain, seeing as he’s the “sciencey one”, but he reminds them that was Mara, and he can’t stay in the Gatehouse any longer.

- Act 2 -

They’re too late. Willow and a group of other students broke down the door to the music room and got KT. The evidence of a struggle is clear, and when KT walks onto the scene accompanied by Willow, she tells them in a song how if they’d been better friends this wouldn’t have happened. Eddie, Alfie and Fabian are grief-stricken and Fabian, still overwhelmed by the whole situation and what happened to Mara, blames himself because it was his suggestion for her to hide in a room whereas if she’d run KT might have had a chance. Eddie tries to convince him that it wasn’t his fault, but KT attacks Fabian, giving Eddie and Alfie no choice but to flee.

They run across the grounds, but they’re ambushed by a group of students. Alfie is wounded and turns into one of the creatures. Eddie is horrified and realises he can’t escape, when the police, headed by Sergeant Roebuck, rescue him. Roebuck says he can take him away, but Eddie says he has to go back for his friends at the Gatehouse. Roebuck gives him an hour.

Meanwhile, the group at the Gatehouse appear to be making progress, examining the blue goo that Sweet left behind. (Robert: Tell me, Patricia, what does this look like to you? Patricia: oh, um, I don’t know! Some kind of blue…shit? Robert: Exactly Patricia! What the fuck is this shit?) Joy realises there must be a connection between this infection and the meteor crash, but before she can do anything about it, Robert knocks her and the others out, and when they come to they find themselves tied up.

Robert reveals that his years of waiting haven’t been in vain. He started writing a musical, and he believes these aliens will bring a deeper nuance to it and wants to join their hive. He asks the captives if he can give them the pitch, and Jerome, grief-stricken, bemused and feeling the sense of fatalism, tells him to go for it. 

About halfway through, Victor and Denby show up and they perform one of Robert’s songs. Robert, having gotten what he wanted, leaves with them before being turned.

Eddie also returns and rescues Patricia, Jerome and Joy. They’re horrified to learn that not only were the others too late, but that Alfie and Fabian are gone too. Eddie tells them there’s still hope of escape, if they can reach the police in the next 25 minutes. They leave the Gatehouse and turn their backs on Amun Academy for good.

They’ve almost made it when they’re attacked and Jerome decides to abandon the group and run ahead to where the police are waiting. However, while Eddie was rescuing the others, the police were overwhelmed by the students. Sgt Roebuck attacks him and he joins the hive. 

Eddie, Joy and Patricia flee, piling into the back of a car and telling the driver to floor it. The driver asks them if they’d like pancakes or waffles, and to their horror they discover that the driver was once their housemother. They try to break out of the car and cause it to crash. Trudy is killed and Joy is injured, so she tells them to leave her behind and take down the meteor. 

Eddie and Patricia head to the site of the crash, where they find their housemates and teachers. Except, they’re not them, and the two find themselves succumbing to the spores. Robert says there’s no way they can break free from their control, but they manage to stay themselves long enough to blow up the meteorite.

Joy wakes up in hospital, with Nurse Delia telling her she’s the only survivor, but that she does have a visitor: Eddie. Joy realises Patricia didn’t make it and very soon discovers that neither did Eddie. She tries to flee but there’s no escape from the inevitable.

Across the world, Nina, Amber, Mick, Poppy and Piper are overcome with grief over the news of the tragedy that befell Amun Academy. But it doesn’t matter really. Their apotheosis will be on them soon enough.
