RANDOM FAVOURITE MOMENTS 18/?

[theroyalmisfitmess]

Oh def fabina hurt but atleast i have the hope they'll reunite what truly broke my heart that i find unforgiveable was breaking up mara/jerome with jerome cheating on her with willow like this man has been in love with her since the first episode & despite all his flaws would never do something so OOC.

I believe in my heart that Fabina reunited too 🥰. Might sound biased but I can’t imagine them with other characters. They understand each other on a different level.

ALSO YES. JARA WAS THE IT MOMENT. I was utterly heartbroken when I found out about them breaking up. Jerome and Joy do look cute but I was always convinced that Mara and Jerome were gonna end up together (even before Season 2). There was this inkling in Season 1 that Jerome was secretly crushing on Mara and it got so evident in the second season. Like, I didn’t mind Mick and Mara (also side note: Mick has really great chemistry with everyone HAHAHA) but I really thought it was gonna be Jerome.

Plus, the BUTCHERING of Jerome’s character development? That’s so low of the writers. Then again though, Brad Kavanagh mentioned that the writers changed in Season 3. Must’ve explained the change of tone and direction :((

Mick: What's up guys? I'm back!

Mara: Oh, were you gone?

Mick: I was in Australia for two months?!?!?

Okay, I think that when you have to write a fanfiction, you have to be careful not to make too much ooc the characters, and not only in terms of behavior, but also in the sexual sphere. I mean, I just can't imagine Nina screaming dirty words while she's having sex. it's way too ooc for her. Even describing sex scenes with different couples in the same way is wrong for me, because each couple has a different type of relationship from the others. For example, sex between fabina imagines it to me as softer, slower, without too many battles for control. more romantic. Peddie sex is more hectic and passionate, but respecting each other's timing. I think Patricia can go from 0 to 100 in one second and vice versa, doing something unexpected. I think so, you have to respect the personality of the character at all times, even in intimacy

Mick: Who the fuck ate my fucking piece of cake, I will fucking murder you, spit it ou—

Mara: I did, I’m sorry, Mick—

Mick: How was it? I hope it tasted good, I didn’t want to eat it anyway, I’m not even that sweet-toothed—

Everyone:

Alfie: The frosting on that cake wasn’t whipped, but you sure are.

So finally finished season 2 of House of Anubis and feel dead on the inside, just because I know Nina isn’t in S3, we don’t get anymore Fabina and I know Amber leaves.

So, thoughts:

- When I originally watched S2, I only watched the first half and I really came to dislike Joy because of the love triangle and it killed me because I loved Klariza in Dani’s House and I remembered her in Skins. However, this time round I came to enjoy her. I think young me would still not like her, but adult me, I loved how when she wrote that horrible article about my baby Nina and was like I just want her gone - it sounded immature and spiteful but having her POV when no one was looking really added layers to Joy as a character. Which I think was important because Joy wasn’t really a character in S1 while she was one, so she lacked the opportunity for development like the rest did.

- Also I think the whole Joy storyline should have been explored more earlier, like everyone went through a lot in S1, however what Sibuna went through was way different to what Joy went through so they were forced to grow up and mature as they became responsible for these tasks. Meanwhile Joy she was kind of sheltered from it when she was kidnapped, she never saw the struggle. That doesn’t make what she went through any less but she didn’t have to grow up and develop like Sibuna did - especially when it turned out that she wasn’t The Chosen One - So I think she expected things to go back to normal and move on, especially since no one really wanted to talk about it with her.

- And I think once Patricia became involved with Sibuna again, it only made the situation worse, she truly had no one that knew what she went through since Mara was blissfully unaware and Patricia had to focus on the Mask of Anubis.

- In my last HoA post, I mentioned my complaint about Jerome not being in Sibuna. I still stand by that. I’m happy he got more involved by the end, and he did catch wind of Alfie even if they denied it. However, him not being in Sibuna still doesn’t make sense, considering how he was in S1 about wanting to be part of the gang, he wanted his best mate etc. And if they wanted him out of Sibuna, there should have been a scene or explanation about him leaving Sibuna or not being part of it. Especially since when S2 started, Sibuna wasn’t what it was in S1, there was no mystery and it was just friends having fun, being a gang etc. When Patricia and Alfie got brought in, Jerome should have as well and they could have done a scene where he rejects getting involved because of Poppy and his dad etc.

- I loved Eddie this time round, I remember the first time finding him annoying, it wasn’t the actor but I think I was like Patricia, going “oh not another American.” Because I find in British shows their accent stands out and they sound too American. But this time I enjoyed him. Also grew to like Peddie.

- I do feel like the Osirian stuff was rushed, would have liked a nice build up, like I wouldn’t mind them pulling a S1 with Fabian/Eddie, also the fallout with Eddie would have been great - and I read the spoilers about The Chosen One And Osirian can’t be together or near each other, which as a mythology rule makes no sense - especially with how it’s built up in S2 by Victor Senior.

- Also I think I multiship with Mara, because in my rewatch of S1, my opinion of Mara stayed the same, she really annoyed me, the Mick/Mara/Amber stuff was one reason, like my take on Mara is that she’s that good girl on a pedestal but hides this shady side that even she doesn’t know about it, because she was trying to get with Mick while he was with Amber but it about to hide it under pretences - but I genuinely think she’s trying to do what’s best, to not hurt anyone but I think she made it worse by not being openly honest. Anyway, in S2, Mara I loved way more, as a character she felt more subdued as a goody two shoes, she was still one, but it felt less fake and I thought Tasie was a better actress in S2, also I found myself enjoying Mickara more in the little we got from S2, they were written better than in S1 ironically, considering Mick left early on and returned by the end. Also Jara were great, I liked it in S1 as it added a layer to Jerome but also enjoyed it here. And in the last episode, I was rooting for Mickara and then Jara.

- I love Amber and Alfie, like I’m fully aware that the first half of S2 is not a healthy relationship and Amber treated Alfie awful, but it was entertaining to watch, plus I love Alfie discovering his self worth through this and Sibuna and then the roles reversing at the end of the evening with Amber. I just love the dynamic of them.

- Bobby being credited for the whole season is a joke. I know he left HoA at the end of S2 for Wolfblood, but wonder for the reason in S2, because I never loved or hated Mick in S1, but I would have liked to see more of him in S2, like the beginning of S2, I was like “see ya, not gonna miss ya” but when he returned at the end of S2, I actually missed him and felt he was wasted in S2 and the last few episodes.

- The S2 finale just highlights how big of a shame it was that Nathalia didn’t return. It would have been nice to see Joy and Nina form a friendship or frenemy relationship after this season. That would have been a natural direction, while also furthering Joy and the stuff she went through in S1. Then Eddie/Nina is another one, since you don’t really see a friendship between them in S2, so it would have been fun to see that friendship especially with Patricia and Fabian, since Patricia is Patricia and Fabian has always been the closest to Nina. And of course the Fabina stuff, since we never really see them be a couple. I was robbed.

- Only other thought I can think of is that the acting improved A LOT in S2. The stand out is Patricia with Jade Ramsay, I just remember in S1 thinking at the beginning when she was upset at Joy at the police station, I thought the acting was poor and a lot of overacting. And when she was mean to Nina and bullying her, her acting and voice out on felt quite caricature mean girl, like voice acting. But I’m S2, from episode 1, it felt natural and improved. Nina and Nathalia was another weak link in S1, and in the beginning of S2, it was improved but there were some weak moments, but by the end of the season, maybe even the middle she improved. Like I said, the whole cast improved, Tasie is another one mentioned, but the ones I’ve gone into detail I felt were the biggest weaknesses in S1 and who improved.

Mara: Do you guys realise we never stop tasting our own tongues?

Mick: How about I taste yours for a change?

Fabian, on the opposite side of the room: That was smooth as fuck.

-Having an arm wrestling contest-

Nina, letting Fabian win: Ahh, honey! You won it again, you're sooo strong!

Mick, instantly slamming Mara’s arm down: Do you see what you get, Mara? Do you see what you get when you mess with the warrior??
