@pscentral event 28: throwback ↳ Sibuna gang as playing cards
Is it just me or does anyone else feel like the layout of anubis hour doesn't really make sense? I don't know hwo to explain but please compare the outside to the inside and you'll see what I mean
no you’re right. the house seems so BIG on the outside, and meanwhile it’s only got four bedrooms upstairs (2 girls rooms, Trudy’s room, and Victor’s room/office) and two bedrooms downstairs. as well as a foyer/entrance hall with a coat room to the right, an a attic and a cellar. a living room thats also a dinning room, a kitchen, and the laundry room. its so strangely small on the inside. and i’ve collected a few pictures from around the house as well as the dollhouse.
also doing this made me question the geography of the tunnels and how they get to both the library and the school somewhat so enjoy my theories:
with Alfie’s map in S3 we have an idea of what the school looks like but there’s one building in red that’s never labeled and according to the tunnels, at some point you get to the library shortcut so the library shouldn’t be too far away. I’ve deduced this red building is the Frobisher Library.
now for the hard part to support my theory.
my initial idea was this: it puts Anubis House right where the cellar is and the Reflector Tunnel next to the Library. but then something accord to me.
When Nina is taken in the senet game, she can be heard from Sweet’s office and they can even send her food from there. So the Mask Chamber and thus the Senet Tunnel should be directly above the school building. so this map wouldn’t work.
and i tried to find a way for all three to fit together, for the cellar to land on Anubis House, for the Reflector Tunnel to land on or near the Library, and for the Senet Tunnel to land on the School. the only way to do it was to flip the tunnel map vertically. and then we got this:
now it finally does make sense. only, the fact that i had to flip it means that it may not be accurate. still, i hope you like reading my ramblings and theories
the fact she remembers his face because the last time she saw him he looked the exact same way IM SICK 😭
In the spirit of encouraging people to comment on fanfics while also making it easier to do so, I feel obliged to share a browser extension for ao3 that has quite literally revolutionized the comment game for me.
I present to you: the floating ao3 comment box!
From what I've seen, a big problem for many people is that once you reach the comments at the bottom of a fic, your memory of it miraculously disappears. Anything you wanted to say is stuck ten paragraphs ago, and you barely remember what you thought while reading. This fixes that!
I'll give a little explanation on the features and how it works, but if you want to skip all that, here's the link.
Edit: Yes, this also works on mobile!
The extension is visible as a small blue box in the upper left corner.
(Side note: The green colouring is not from the extension, that's me.)
If you click on it, you open a comment box window at the bottom of your screen but not at the bottom of the fic. I opened my own fic for demonstrative purposes.
The website also gives explanations on how exactly it functions, but I'll summarize regardless.
insert selection -> if you highlight a sentence in the fic it will be added in italics to the comment box
add to comment box -> once you're done writing your comment, you click this button and the entire thing will automatically copied to the ao3 comment box
delete -> self explanatory
on mulitchapter fics, you will be given the option to either add the comment to just the current chapter or the entire fic
The best part? You can simply close the window the same way you opened it and your progress will automatically be saved. So you can open it, comment on a paragraph, and then close it and keep reading without having the box in your face.
Comments are what keep writers going, and as both a writer and a reader, I think it's such an easy way of showing support and enthusiasm.
Temples are built for gods. Knowing this a farmer builds a small temple to see what kind of god turns up.
How do I tell fanfic authors that I'm leaving basically detailed reviews in my bookmarks about how much I like their fic and what exactly are the best bits. like it's different to a comment because it's from a third party perspective rather than informing the author directly, but also I hope they know if they open the bookmarks they'll find me. the essays I could write if bookmarks didn't have a character limit (insane btw. discovering this was a thing felt like a statement directed at me)
I HAVE SO MANY TO CHOOSE FROM, BUT-
"Fumikage opens his beak to speak, except- it's wrong. It's wrong. The muscles on his face- he opens his beak, but it feels so-
His hand is at his cheek so suddenly, and he looks up to Solid-Step with wide eyes. Her panicked face says there is something wrong.
Under his fingertips, it feels like skin.
It sounds normal, when you put it like that, but. Fumikage has his hand to his head, and it- it doesn't feel like feathers. It feels like skin."
reblog with a spoiler for your wip with zero context. no context allowed.
Considering S3 is viewed as the worst season, which characters do you think were given the worse treatment? Personally, I think Patricia and Fabian. Patricia basically existed to be constantly jealous of Eddie and Fabian solely existed as an info packet. I felt like their characters had nothing go to them. It's especially disheartening because Brad did great in the premiere, but didn't get anything to work with again until the Sinner arc and he only had decent material for 2 of those episodes.
I totally agree with this take!
There's a word that I'm trying to get going called "Protagonosis" which basically means that a work of fiction gives too much credit to their main character by ignoring their flaws/not providing proper consequences for their flaws, shifting the story around to have the world revolve around the main character (changing the story to have the main character be some type of Chosen One when they weren't intended to be that way or without their Chosen One status contributing to the main character's arc), and/or relegating secondary characters purely to serve the main character's arc without much care for the secondary character's own arc, character, and autonomy.
I think House of Anubis regularly comes down with cases of Protagonosis, throughout all three seasons actually, but especially with the sinner plot line in season 3.
I think that turning Fabian, Patricia, and Alfie into sinners thereby giving the Sibuna responsibilities to KT and Eddie despite in the show only recently becoming involved with the mystery really undermines the former three's contributions and characters (in spite of how much I love sinner!Fabian, Patricia, and Alfie). I personally really loved the idea of when Alfie, KT, and Eddie are the last Sibuna members and they do the whole fake-out with Eddie almost becoming a sinner, that Eddie would actually become a sinner and it was up to KT and Alfie to save the day. I also am not entirely sure the timeline for the Anubis crew, but I'm pretty sure they didn't know that the third season was gonna be their last until after writing it, still- doing an Invasion of the Body Snatchers-focused story for your final season really does no good for pulling from the strengths of all your characters and giving them full arcs, even though those stories can be really fun. Having the Sibuna members become Sinners so early, and therefore become not-themselves, I believe, eliminates any possibility of a completed and satisfactory arc, relegating them to serve Eddie and KT's stories only. By the end of season 3 Eddie and KT are our heroes, not Sibuna.
There's a lot more that can be said about the Peddie relationship and all the shenanigans there (in my opinion an unfortunate divergence from what their relationship was in season 2), but I'll leave you with these thoughts. I'd love to hear more!
Personally, I think House of Anubis is at its best when it forces all characters to contribute in equal and unique ways and when it depicts Sibuna not as an organization supported by unEarthly magic and cosmic destinations but by their individual members skills and unique talents. I want to see characters who follow specific arcs because they are capable and make decisions, not because fate predestines them to save the day.
MHA Ship Names

I think it's fun to find puns or double meanings or even just matching the ships vibe with names like these, even if they don't catch on.
