and special shoutout to every fic I've read by reyna_is_epic, especially the recent vampire au they've written: manor halls like prison walls

20. do you consider yourself to be more anne, sasha, or marcy?

definitely anne the most i think, i relate to her in the way she reacts emotionally and gets really protective of her loved ones. though I also relate to sasha on some level too LOL #JustChildOfDivorceThings

24. most important lesson of the show in your opinion?

it's hard to pinpoint just one, the crew did a really good job relaying many important lessons! though one that sticks out to me is the importance of relying on others.

this is something that's most prominent with anne, and while this is a theme that carries through every season, I think its easiest to spot in season 3a (and hopefully we'll get more of it in 3b!)

anne hints at several points in time that she's a solo act. when she's not with her friends, when she's Doing Stuff, she works alone. We see this, for example, in the bugball episode, where she tries to be the star player. and we also see that it doesn't work out for her very well.

and this gets especially more prominent as soon as she and the plantars are back on earth - she tries to assume full responsibility of the plantars safety from andrias, and then later from mr. x. she won't even tell her parents about what's going on back in amphibia, simply letting the anxiety consume her as she wears herself out staying up all night looking for ways to get back. she feels a little to me like atlas, carrying the globe on her shoulders.

but 3a especially introduces many important new characters who's roles are to help her, so that she ISN'T doing this alone. ally and jess, terri, dr. jan, the whole thai community, and even her parents once they catch wind of what's happening: they show that they're ready and willing to help anne at a moments notice, because she literally cannot do this alone.

and i believe that this is going to become apparent in 3b as well, where she'll finally accept their help in safely returning to amphibia. and my personal theory is in commander anne that she'll need to learn to accept help from sasha and grime as well, based on the leaked summary

but I feel like this is a great lesson to teach people that you don't need to carry your burdens alone, and that there will always be people around you who love you and will step in to help lift some of that weight off your shoulders.
