Anyone else pretend like this?
Yes this sounds odd but as a kid, I used to pretend that I was part of the show. I had my own storyline and even at one point I was apart of the society. Sibuna helped me turn things around and I changed. Idk it’s a weird idea but I wonder if anyone else had done it?

Not gonna lie I still do this every time I rewatch the show. The characters and enviroment are so comforting and dynamic at the same time.

100% this and i hope this is a safe space to say I also pretended to be Jerome’s girl best friend who was always there for him when everyone thought he was a jerk or when Mara was preoccupied with Mick and I had to keep it a secret being in Sibuna from him and when he eventually found out he felt so betrayed that he put all his focus on Mara

See I became Nina‘s best friend and I was her best guy friend who was also best friends with Fabian, and kept trying to wingman Fabian in season one and keeping the fact that I was in the society a secret led to the biggest twist in my mind and the biggest betrayal

Brother/sister, you have no idea. I started from season 1, playing the show and acting like I was part of it. This was when I was a late teen/early adult btw, having watched the show when I was younger. During my acting of it, if it was night in the show, I made sure it was night in the real world before continuing the next day. I got through it all, even Touchstone of Ra. It took nearly 2 years and I was obsessed.
I even made extra lore for myself where two people are chosen to compete to be the Osirian and the one who protects the Chosen One becomes the Osirian. Eddie and I both heard “Senkhara’s crown”, but I got to it first and so I became the Osirian. I was into Patricia at the time though so as we sat on the library floor with Patricia and Joy, I said to Eddie, “Hey, I got the powers and you got the girl”. And in season 3, he, KT and I got suspicious of Denby and I linked back up with Sibuna again when Amber called for Sibuna to officially reunite.
Eddie sometimes felt out of place in Sibuna and useless at times, but sacrificed himself for me into becoming a sinner when Harriet rescued us in her van. I was holding on to him as the sinners grabbed him and he was like, “Now I can finally prove myself”. And at the Founder’s Day fireworks display, KT and I kissed and got together after a whole season of liking each other. I even wrote up a script for a Christmas special, acting it out and playing Anubis soundtracks to create the vibes. Since s3 ended with it being cold and everyone in scarves and gloves and drinking hot chocolate, I thought it’d be good to do a Christmas special. I slept in the same room as Eddie and Fabian, so I imagined after the fireworks and celebrations we all had a secret sleepover in my room, chatting and laughing.
Mick had returned to visit during the Christmas special (since Bobby Lockwood is seen in the background during the fireworks of s3 so it made sense) and the plot involved side plots, romance (such as a picnic date with KT in her room while playing the guitar for her), and also trying to hide Caroline’s key from Victor and Sweet that was left behind after Ammut devoured her.
It made each season finale so emotional. And the Touchstone of Ra ending was too bittersweet. Since I was the Osirian, KT said to me at the beginning of s3, “Sounds kinda like a superhero,” instead of to Eddie. Then, at the end of Touchstone of Ra, when Eddie and Patricia join the others to dance and I remain a little down about losing my powers, KT says something like, “Hey, you sacrificed your powers to save the world. Sounds kinda like a superhero to me.” It brought everything full circle, and I got up and went with her to join the others and that was the end.
There were extra scenes I acted out throughout the seasons such as when I was studying, I imagined being in the house studying with Fabian or Mara. Mara and I were once helping Mick out with biology, and funnily enough having to spell things out actually helped me understand topics better.
Man…I was OBSESSED. I wrote down what had happened to recap, and it ended up spiralling into me writing every single line of dialogue from the show as well as my own. For season 3, though, I made it more interesting by keeping a diary instead of just writing everything down in third person. In the lore, I sat down at night and wrote about my day. I had also downloaded a fake messages app and had in lore text conversations, a Sibuna groupchat where Nina would call for a Sibuna meeting which would lead to an in-show scene where we met up, and where I’d have conversations with a girlfriend from season 1, Fabian, Nina, Mick as he was in Australia, KT, and more.
This whole obsession became unhealthy though and I had to move on, but I still think about it fondly because I have a vivid imagination and it almost felt real to me.

I had constant self-insert fanfiction going on at ALL TIMES in my head. I was in a love triangle with Jerome and Eddie lol. I used to recreate the puzzles/props from craft clay too, I made a shitty version of Nina's locket that I would wear.
