Sasha and the Frogs S2: Pumped Up Pink! (Ep10 "A Day in Wartwood")

Art by @rqmdae (deactivated)

Wa-ha-ha! Behold, a new chapter. TWENTY-ONE THOUSAND WORDS OF IT!

This is the longest chapter I've ever written. While the time-span was 3 months, the chapter actually took around 2 months to write. There was a lot of rewriting, backtracking and editing involved, and it's at a level that makes me wonder whether it's worth it. But it's a chapter I've planned to do for a long time, so yeah, it's worth it.

Also, I'm sick right now. Like, physically ill. I have to go to the doctor's tomorrow to get an MC so I can be excused from work.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy this one because I don't think I'll ever write something as long as this ever again. Toodles! :D

Seeing Tritonio in the new chapter and his curse was both kinda hilarious and made me interested to see what would happen to him in the future if he ever rerurned. At the very least it creates some funny in hindsight potential if you ever made the Anne Tritonio chapter appear in the grimoir.

What's funny is that there was a version of the outline that had an Anne and Trintonio chapter in season 2. Originally after Barrel's Warhammer we were going to get a similar cutaway chapter of Anne and Val going about their business. Ultimately I decided that keeping the tension around Anne's general situation a mystery would serve the story better. So that ended up getting scrapped.

Hermitphibia stuff, thinking back on the thing with xB joining up with Tritonio.

As Tritonio’s arrested at the end of his first appearance (Season 1) but has broken out by his next (Season 3), I’ve been mulling over exactly when he meets xB, as by the end of Season 1 the only Hermits with Anne are False & Grian, while the only other she’s met is Scar, who’s stayed with Sasha.

Heck, given False is there, its questionable whether Hop Pop even needs to drop the kids off at a “daycare”, but lets assume some sort of altered scenario happens instead of the canon Combat Camp to get her out of the way.

Picture this: False has gotten what she thinks is a lead on her friends, as apparently someone’s been robbing trains in the area & False knows damn well what sort of antics boredom can do to a Hermit. She wants to take Anne with her to another town to look for clues, but despite all they’ve been through & Anne’s combat training having come on in leaps & bounds, Hop Pop vetoes Anne going out on a risky mission. There’s a difference between being capable & actively searching for danger, in his eyes.

False has a bit of an argument with him over it but eventually concedes when he says he’ll think about changing his mind, but “not this time”. Anne is just a kid, after all, no matter how skilled she gets, & False needs to remember that.

Hermits - & “players” in general - have slightly skewed perceptions in this regard, given how long they live.

Just the group’s luck, then, that when Hop Pop leaves the kids at the “daycare” while he heads to that convention, Anne meets Tritonio, the very newt robbing those trains.

Things go similarly to canon: Tritonio puts on the ruse of a combat camp to train up his little theives gang, but is far more impressed with Anne here than in canon, though still pushes her to be better. The difference here’s that Anne’s had a while of being around False & maturing a bit more than she had at this point in the actual show. Though Tritonio’s praise still goes to her head a little at first, she’s already had False as a semi-positive mentor/teacher figure, so doesn’t fall into trusting him so blindly.

She, Sprig & Polly still go along with the plan, though, mostly because one of the less healthy things Anne’s picked up from False is that Hermit attraction to shenanigans. She smells a rat, but this could go places.

‘Places’ ends up being getting the drop on Tritonio before he’s even able to double cross them. Despite the complete fail & arrest, the newt’s genuinely humbled & impressed, & praises whoever taught Anne to think like that.

Regardless, the kids are picked up by a predictably battered HP, agree not to talk about the “wacky adventures” til False gets back - though this time around Anne actually kind of wants to - & go home.

And its weird, Anne thinks when they get back to the Plantar homestead. False said she’d only be gone a few days. Shouldn’t she be back by now?

Meanwhile, several miles down the train tracks - unseen by the others - the toad guards of the storage train are caught unawares as a tall, gangly creature not unlike Anne - dressed in black & blue - shoots the lock off the train’s side door, granting Tritonio his freedom.

Tritonio praises the day he met xB. So long as he continues to be this useful in getting the thief out of jams, he won’t have to betray the Hermit anytime soon.

Just Lazy sketches today

[scrabbleknight]

With it being 24 hours since I've updated my fic, it's time to go through my thoughts over Chapter 10 of SatF.

First off, I'd like to thank everyone for reading and I hope you enjoyed it. I worked hard on it and it happened to be my longest chapter yet. Second, if you read the Author's Notes in AO3, you'll find that there were a large number of deleted/heavily modified scenes that I unfortunately didn't bother to use. So I won't go through that since my thoughts over it are already laid bare.

Now onto the analysis:

Choosing between two chapters

The Wartwood chapter was actually one of two choices I had when I started. Before beginning, I had to choose between two ideas that I wanted to write and even had to get an external opinion about it. In the end, I chose to write about Wartwood and its citizens since it's a chapter I wanted to write for so long and this seemed to be the perfect time for it. The other chapter idea was actually an Anne chapter!

Expanding the characters

The main purpose of this chapter were two things; to expand existing characters and to expand the worldbuilding. Every story brought in something new, such as one-off characters (Nelly), racism in Amphibia (Maddie) and family names (Tritonio). Also, the reveal of cultists which was always implied in the past, and their importance in the future. There's a really neat system regarding cultists in particular and it will be brought up, but basically it's just layers upon layers of secrecy.

Racism in Amphibia

Racism is a pretty hot topic and Amphibia, being based on traditional Tolkien/DnD fantasy, has some of it (but not too much because Disney show). So I wanted to put some focus in it too. Amphibia's racism is mild and hidden; it's not outwardly like those other fantasy stories. It's especially obvious during the Three Armies episode where newts and toads have a rivalry, and frogs are looked down upon. This seemed to have happened during Andrias's rule, so he most likely has a hand in it.

So I wrote the insidious and lurking nature of racism as well. In this case, we see that Maddie can't become a proper witch/curse practitioner because she's not allowed to enroll in a special school due to her species. Maddie, of course, shrugs it off because she can still do it, just illegally and only outside of Newtopia where the rule is enforced.

But Albus has a reaction to it. He feels guilty because he has a privilege that Maddie did not, and he didn't notice. It can make one wonder how many other advantages they have in their life that are seemingly invisible. Of course, Maddie comments on it, stating that it's not Albus's fault. After all, he simply lived in privilege; he was hardly the cause of it or propagated it. Just knowing and being aware of it is the very minimum, and acting with that knowledge is the ideal.

Fatherless

Ivy's fatherless behaviour actually started as a joke. I wrote the scene about Felicia getting mad about him and it expanded from there. But then, I added more content regarding it and brought it back full circle near the end. Tritonio being an orphan was always planned after the Three Armies episode but his relationship with the family was only added in this chapter. The chapter was also going to mention why he left and it was because he utterly humiliated his brother (the head of the Espadas and an actual blood-related member) in a duel which led to him leaving to avoid persecution. I'll definitely bring that up in the future. And Ivy being mad about her absentee father was only added in the last minute, which I say worked incredibly well to tie it all together.

The brief history of Amphibia: Blue Blood Massacre

Now this is something I really wanted to write, in excerpts and journals. The purpose of this entry was to give out names of important families, specifically the Lilypads and the Leopolds. The latter is related to Loggle and his family will have an important part during Sasha's time in Newtopia, hence him giving her his eyepiece which was also the Leopold emblem. The Lilypads aren't brought up yet but in this AU, Lady Olivia would be a member, hence her close proximity with Andrias. Family lines are incredibly important in Newtopia and it's important to establish that early on because it can be the cause of major conflicts.

When writing about the Blue Blood Massacre, I had to choose between either making it explicit or implicit. In the end, I chose the latter, as shown with Andrias being labelled a victim for it. Of course, we (readers) know better. Additionally, it was also the perfect time to include Andrias getting his cybernetics since it was never explained what medical procedures he used, so the average person could wave it off as magic.

I didn't write it but each of the Five Founding Families specialized in different things which allowed them to work together. The Lilypads were agriculturists, the Leopolds were craftsmen and the Leviathans were researchers. As for the Larns and the Livres, they were soldiers and merchants respectively which was why it had to be carefully planned to take them out. Each family also would've represented each species: Lilypads for frogs, Leviathans for salamanders, Larns for toads, Livres for newts and Leopolds for axolotls. With the toads and newts families being wiped and the Lilypads being replaced from frogs to newts, it established a newt supremacy that Andrias can easily control.

You might be thinking; why didn't he just weaken the Livres since they're newts already? That's exactly why he did it. So long as people remembered their heritage, it's difficult to truly control them since they have something to look back to. But replaced the frogs with newts in Lilypads, it meant that the newts didn't have anything to look back to. It wasn't theirs; they simply took the original's place.

I probably won't write this in the fanfic since it's too obtuse and technically counts as in-universe libel, but the heritage of the Lilypads will be brought up.

The bow and what is it used for

I can't say much about it but the bow is designed in such a way that all three girls can use, essentially making it a shared weapon. Even the materials are important; blue sea anemone (Anne) and green wood (Marcy). Red is the only thing that's not in it because I have a red material for something else. Another important part about a bow is that it's a stationary weapon; you don't need to move to use it. This is important for S3, where it'll be useful for a particular character.

The ending will be super cool, trust me.

And that's about it for this chapter. Any more would be spoiling future content which would be a bummer. I am glad you guys read the story and I hope you liked it. I'll be expanding more stuff in the future and until then, I'll see you all soon :D

#4: Combat Camp

Yes, it's late, but I've been busy again!

I guess I love this episode for the sheer number of surprising plot twists it had. Let's count them up:

Hop Pop thinks he's leaving the kids at a daycare owned by Briar and Iris Bogwater, but it turns out it is owned by Tritonio Espada

The place looks like an ordinary daycare, but it turns out to be a combat crash course... for kids!

Anne thinks Tritonio is picking on her, but it turns out he just saw her potential and was trying to help her reach it

Anne thinks Tritonio doesn't like her, but then he gives her his family sword

The kids think Tritonio was a good guy who was trying to teach them to fight, but it turns out he was just a thief

(My personal favorite) The kids think Tritonio was lying about everything because he was a thief, but it turns out he was actually impressed with them AND actually taught them proper fighting techniques

The kids think Hop Pop had an uneventful crop convention, but it ended up getting swarmed by killer locusts

This comes out to one such plot twist about every 90 seconds, if you're keeping track.

I also have to say that I love Tritonio's character and everything about him.

Not really much more to talk about with this episode. The backstory was hilarious, but that's not in this episode.
