Imagine this:

Mara's studying hard, pulling all nighters, driving joy&kt insane by forcing them to quiz her on everything thrice. Asking her professors all manners of question on what they are going to be tested on.

She feels quite confident she aced it.

And then... she comes second place.

To Fabian Rutter.

She would be seething in the background, meanwhile Fabian has no idea.

He's running on two hours of sleep, he drinks 10 cups of tea/coffee just to keep himself awake, and most of his time in class is spent trying to solve a clue for whatever treasure Frobisher hid in that goddamn house 90 years ago.

That exam was a one time thing, because he hyperfixated on the subject in elementary school idk.

Thoughts:

- The season was not as bad, I think I still prefer S1 & S2, not because the originals are in it (i.e. Nina and Amber) but for me in S3 the pacing lagged a bit, it had a rough beginning (the adjustment period of Nina’s exit) but I enjoyed the Descendents bit and the 5 sinners bit. But at times the pacing lagging in between. Whereas S1 & S2, I didn’t feel that way, I was hooked and binging.

- Walfie are cute, I still prefer Amfie though. I know Willow and Alfie are the healthier couple and will more likely work in the long run, but I find Amber and Alfie more entertaining to watch as a fan. The writers put less effort into Willow and Alfie than they did with Willow/Jerome so that’s a shame. Walfie is that couple that I’d want if this was real life, but Amfie I just find more entertaining.

- This season made me really dislike Peddie. And Patricia deserved better. So I loved Peddie in S2, not as much as Fabina, I think that will always be my #1, but I enjoyed them and got why fans like them. Then in S3, they just ruined them, had them break up for no reason and even when they were together they never felt like a couple. And I hated how Patricia - an original character was relegated to a love interest/damsel in distress for most of the season. Like that was her arc for the season. In S2, Peddie was probably more about Patricia, then in S3 it was all about Eddie. Not Patricia. And I honestly just think they split them up so KT could have most of her scenes with Eddie and Peddie splitting up would explain why Eddie isn’t with Patricia or confiding in her all the time.

- So Fabian becoming a Sinner was pure dumbass Fabian, but Sinner Fabian was great. I think out of all the Sibuna Sinners, Brad and Alex really killed it at being evil whereas with Jade, it didn’t feel as natural. Like Jade has vastly improved her acting since S1 but Sinner!Patricia for me exposed some of her weaknesses. I didn’t feel as if it played to her strengths.

- I think I ship Jeroy? Honestly I will probably ship Jara and Jeroy but boy did they make a mess of it. I think it’s a shame how they ruined Jara so quickly in order for Jeroy and considering how they spent 2 seasons building Jara up, you’d think they wouldn’t split them up until the end of the season or the next if there was one. And it be done without the cheating. As for Jeroy they could have dedicated more time to them. For me that storyline felt a bit quick and would have liked that to take up most the season.

- Mabian? Wtf? I’m not gonna attack folks if they ship it. Because on paper they should work. However, that scene, hinting at them felt forced as fuck. Now there is a scenario where they could work, if there was more of a build. But it just makes no sense. Obviously since everyone lives together, we are told they all are friends and have a friendship with each other - but you need evidence if you are gonna sell characters as a couple or as best friends. Across the 3 seasons Mara and Fabian have shared the least scenes together. You could have at least this season shown more of a friendship together. It’s like how at the beginning of S3 everyone is like Fabian and Eddie are best friends - there was no evidence of that in S2.

- Also I think Mabian are one of those couples that would work (with better writing and not rushed and random), but not for the long term, I think they are too similar. Like I think they’d be that couple that would transition into friends without realising it.

- KT needs to chill out. She literally took everything like a personal attack. Like when Eddie thought she was a Sinner because he saw her be turned and no one knew she had the key. She at times just constantly looked like someone hurt her personally. Comparing her to Nina, since she did come in to fill the Nina hole. — She was definitely a better actress that Nathalia, but to me she wasn’t one of the strongest and had some weak spots. There were times I enjoyed her and times where she just had pure dumbass energy about her.

Fabian: Don’t correct me!
