Hi :)

Nina: OMG. YES. What good is a rivalry when the rivals barely interact? No, they just decided to have them stick to pestering poor Fabian instead of even trying to give the two some sort of relationship. I'm thinking...like the Patrina thing...like the way the two of them acted in between the bullying thing and the Sibuna thing...a frenemy relationship, basically. That could have been awesome.

Oh yes. Going from shier, clumsier and less prepared for Anubis...to being a genuine, active leader.

Fabian:Of course, had he become assertive, he'd have definitely been able to tell the others how he felt...he was really in an odd position between tempermental-agressive and kindly-passive.

Amber: At first I didn't appreciate just how perfect they made her...now I realize it...

Patricia: Yes, bitch! I was thinking...if they had just acknowledged that Patricia had her own issues to deal with, it would have been an automatic plot where she deals with HER OWN flaws...a talk with Joy could have done the trick... during one of those times when they are discussing Eddie-scene time-

-The two of them are talking about their love issues when Patricia mentions how Eddie makes her feel week and yadda yadda-

Joy: -laughs a little- Patricia, why do these things bother you so much? He's clearly not trying to mess with you, he just likes you.

Patricia: But that's the thing! No boy has ever acted like that before...and I don't know how I feel about it. I feel...helpless about it.

J: Are you afraid?

P: -laughs- Afraid? Afraid of what? He's the one who should be afraid, not me!

J: ...You know, it's okay to feel these things at first. But you don't need to hide it! Especially not from me!

P: I'm sorry, Joy. But what do you want me to say? You already know everything I'm feeling...

J: You don't need to say anything...at least not to me. Look,do you want to deal with these things, or not? It's your choice, Patricia, not mine.

P: ... Alright. I'll try...

And then she eventually manages to overcome her flaws and  the insecurity vanishes... happy ending ;)

Alfie: Exactly!
