#Wartwood!Sasha

[notepunk]

CASTING CALL!!!!

Art by cutetanuki-chan I and some others are are working on an Audio Adaptation of the Amphibia Swap AU fic "A Witch in Wartwood," by the lovely Discet. This fic answers the question, "What would happen if Marcy landed in Wartwood instead of Anne?" and it expands on Amphibia's lore, characters, and relationships.

This adaptation will feature a full voice cast, including narration, a custom soundtrack, and sound effects. Right now, we are in a "proof of concept" phase, where we are adapting just one scene from the fic--we chose AWIW 8: "Sasha at the Gates". It's a short-term endeavor to help the team figure out their production process and to help generate some interest in the broader project.

We need three voice roles:

Ben Spar (an extra that is interrogated by Sasha),

Sasha Waybright, and

General Yunan: Scourge of the Sand Wars, defeater of Ragnar the Wretched, and the youngest newt to ever achieve the rank of general in the great Newtopian Army!

These roles are all relatively low commitment, and you will not be expected to continue in these roles for the whole project. Also, since this is purely a passion project (and we don't want to be on the Mouse's bad side), all work on the project will be unpaid.

If you're interested, you can apply using the provided form. We will be requiring an email address. https://forms.gle/f95Fx8y3D1sEACRZ8 Reblogs appreciated: help us get the word out!

Welcome to Hopping Over the Bar where I keep myself accountable/sane by rewatching Amphibia while studying for the bar. If I ever miss a daily edition please feel free to @ or DM me to remind me to study!

Today was Real Property. We did some stuff on Mortgages, Deeds, Easements, Water Rights, Covenants. Big ol' round up.

Today I watched Toad Tax and Prison Break. Obviously two great episodes serving as our midseason finale for Season 1. Anne stands up for the town, our first hints of a wider issue. And of course our introduction to Toad Tower, Grime, and Sasha. Its a great dynamic from the start, Sasha helps us understand a lot about Anne, although I found her less "obviously evil" than I did on prior watchthroughs.

Connection: Look, it's been a long study day. You do have a right to refuse entry to your property, otherwise its trespass. But when its a Government agent not really. Uhhh…Wally takes a bath. Did you know the Western and Eastern United States have different Water Rights systems. In the east anyone whos property touches the water has a right to reasonable use of the water, so long as it doesn't interfere with other owners. In the west its strictly first to divert the water for a beneficial purpose gets rights to that amount of water and then the next person and then the next, going way back to the Spanish days.

Fuck I wanna make a sasharcy animatic to Heather on the Hill yknow the one by Nathan Evans but literally all it would be is just them dance and doing fun twirls and laughing while anne drinks out of a red solo cup in the corner and sprig is like "bet you wish that was you" and Anne is like "shut up dude their happy" and then it's actually bt but only in my head because then I can use their canon designs in the amimatic but not those because they would be more idk gangly? Kinda like wait lemme find them kami's designs but specifically how they draw marcy because I love that um what was the topic again oh right animatic man I wish I could draw

Amphibia Graphic Novel Already Being Written At Tokyo Pop and Disney Publishing Worldwide, Novel Is Sprig Centered Story.

Comics Beat Interviewed Matt Braly on the upcoming "THE ART OF AMPHIBIA" book and confirmed that the graphic novel at TOKYO POP and Disney Publishing Worldwide in the same vein as GRAVITY FALLS: LOST LEGENDS is currently in the writing stage.

Braly additionaly confirms that the story of the novel will be centered around Sping Plantar likely hinting that the novel will be set after the events of the series finale.

“Sprig and his companions embarking on an exhilarating adventure” --- Braly

The interview also showcases artwork from "INTERN-SHIP". The show Braly pitched to Disney before Amphibia but was scrapped due the timing of the release of Walt Disney Animation Studios "Big Hero 6"

The idea evolved as "FAMILY FORCE V" a graphic novel at Skybound Comics

An awesome New Statue dedicated to Sasha Waybright for her efforts in forming the Wartwood Resistance, created by the Toads and Frogs of the Resistance Post War!

Commissioned by @Belesan_Art

[agalychnisspranneusroseus]

Role swap Marcy genuinely becoming besties with Percy and Braddock because they're the nicest people in the tower! And eventually becoming friends with Grime because she's so excited about all of this strategy and the politics of Frog Valley that her enthusiasm overrides her fear and only later realizes they're not different warring factions fighting against each other but that the toads are opressing the frogs and oh no, they're the baddies! And she tries to backpedal but Grime will hear none of it so she instead tries to suggest the most harmless strategies possible, framing them as "having more symbolic, cultural and institutional legitimacy to back them up" to convince Grime they're better ideas. She can't stop him but she can change the system from inside or something, right? Until Sasha and her frog militia take over Toad Tower because of course Sasha wouldn't sit around with her arms crossed, oh, no. This is Sasha who we're talking about! The girl whose only way to feel safe AND to protect others is being in control. She was outraged when she learned the frogs were under toad control and helped them realize they should govern themselves instead. Amazing idea. Would be better if her way of bringing it to life didn't include cornering Marcy and telling her she'll never be able to survive in the real world without Sasha to guide her. She gives her a small scar on her chin as a reminder. Do not step out of line.

But she disobeys her once more. After taking Toad Tower, Marcy doesn't stay at her side. She leaves with Grime and Braddock and Percy and all the other toads, disappearing into the forest with tears in her eyes. Somehow, the people that had her locked in the tower for months seemed like a better option than her best friend.

Sasha was devastated. She felt so completely and utterly betrayed that she didn't leave her room in all day. Hop Pop came to check on her at night - he wanted to give her some space - and told her friendships are never easy. That she's not alone and she doesn't need to shoulder the pain all on her own. She has him, and Sprig and Polly, and together, they'd find a way to reunite the friends and help them go back home.

Sasha swap au running for mayor by _spaceic_

Set in an au where the calamity trio ended up in different parts of amphibia at the beginning. Sasha ended up wartwood and was taken in by the planters.

I think the episode where Hoppop runs for mayor would be a little bit different with Sasha. I think would Sasha would want to run hop pops campaign. She would eventually get upset when hoppop isn't following the script she wrote for him. Then decides to run for mayor herself.

I also think Sasha wouldn't be as hurt by being seen as the town monster. I think She would embrace it a little bit and think it's funny too Make up stories about humans to scare the towns people. Which is why she thinks these are good campaign slogans for her. She made her own campaign posters using arts and crafts that she's very proud of.

Eventually the townspeople realize they can all can run for mayor and every member of the town starts their own campaign and each of them votes for themselves. mayor toadstool is able to get re-elected by two votes.

Btw where not coming for Dana’s neck we’re clocking,critiquing & reading the show to filth so she can do a lot better.

EXACTLY THIS RIGHT HERE what needs to be bought up , Funny enough, certain people or part of the fandom didn’t want to tackel this issue head on cause they want there so called (representation in there own way) By proxy

So yes the owl house needed a lot more work on cultural representation, along luz noceda having better features and origins established along other characters i made a video about this

Along the ghost and molly McGee did an amazing job on one episode, celebrating the main character heritage with Matt braly creating the episode itself in writing

Also a great article I discuss on Luz noceda physics traits HAVE A GOOD READ SUPERSTARS

The Owl House vs. Amphibia: BIPOC Representation as a POC Viewer

Okay so I’ve been sitting with this for a while, and as a POC myself, I really want to talk about how The Owl House and Amphibia approached BIPOC representation—because honestly? Amphibia did it way better.

Let’s start with The Owl House. Luz is a Dominican-American girl, right? But it really felt like her cultural identity was just there. Like, surface-level (not saying this is a bad thing but I wish her background was explored more). She’s brown-coded, yeah, but the show barely explores what that means for her. There’s a few references (her mom, her name, the occasional food mention), but it never felt like her heritage shaped who she was or how she saw the world. Luz could’ve been literally any background and the plot wouldn’t change. That’s a little disappointing for a POC main character—it feels like the representation was more of a checkbox than something fully integrated into her story.

Now contrast that with Amphibia. Anne is Thai-American, and it shows. Her culture is part of her character in a natural and loving way. We see her family, we see Thai food, the language, traditions, even a whole episode set in a Thai temple in LA. Her identity isn’t just an aesthetic, it matters to who she is and how she moves through both Earth and Amphibia. It’s never forced, it just is. THAT’S representation.

And I’m not saying Luz isn’t important representation—she is. But as someone who’s always hungry for deeper, more authentic stories about people like me, Anne’s journey just hit so much harder. She felt real. Luz, while a fun and quirky protagonist, just didn’t have that same level of depth when it came to her identity as a young woman of color.

Compared to Anne’s cultural depth, Luz often felt more like a character with BIPOC aesthetics rather than fully realized representation. It wasn’t entirely absent, but for a groundbreaking show with an openly queer Latina lead, the lack of a deep cultural presence was a missed opportunity. The Owl House did incredible work with LGBTQ+ representation, but imagine if Luz’s Dominican identity was explored with the same level of care that her queerness was. That would’ve been everything.

Anne’s story wasn’t about being Thai, but her Thai identity was always present. Luz’s story, however, didn’t integrate her Dominican identity as naturally—it felt more like a label rather than a lived experience. That’s why Anne’s representation felt more effective (to me at least); it was simply part of her, without having to be a grand statement.

Anyway, this isn’t about tearing down one show or putting the creators on blast. Both shows did so much for queer and BIPOC kids in animation. But I do think it’s okay to want more.

Would love to hear what others think.

I think Anne & Sasha kissed exactly one (1) time during s3b wartwood resistance era, and Anne is so disassociated to cope with literally everything else happening she's just like "sure, this may as well have happened :)" and represses it to the back of her mind, meanwhile, Sasha, who canonically is feeling Every Single Emotion At Once during the resistance era goes out on a "mission" by herself the next day, but just ends up finding an empty clearing in the woods and screaming and crying until she throws up.

i made this like a month ago, but i think i forgot to post it

it’s Marcy and Sasha’s amphibian designs from aWiW aAA, and i don really like most of them other than the most recent; that one where Marcy’s on Sasha’s shoulder

[grimysash]

one of my favourite things to contemplate about the sashanne dynamic development/change is the fact that their roles are flipped upside down pre-amphibia to wartwood resistance arc.

pre-amphibia and s1 anne is such a fucking loser. she is literally so insecure and just takes whatever she gets, never hoping for more, she allows sasha to walk over her, humiliate her and boss her around. she is lowkey floating thru life and hoping it will all work out in the end eventually without putting in any effort for it ever to do so. she relies on sasha to protect her and stand up for herself. she's a ball of nerves and can never say no to something she doesnt feel comfortable doing and buries everything into the back of her subconscious because she doesnt want to provoke any unnecessary fights

pre-amphibia, s1-s2 sasha, on the other hand, is opinionated and cocky. shes the "idgaf" typa girl who gets what she wants even if she has to cut her own arm off to prove a point. she's bold and smug and always crosses other people's boundaries because she just automatically assumes they'll be okay with it and suck it up for her sake. she's controlling and if something doesnt go her way for just a few hours, she'll throw a hissy fit until the other party gives in and cracks under the pressure of her manipulations. she knows she's better than you and she won't be afraid to show it. yeah maybe she's overcompensating for something, maybe she's just trying to conceal her fears but when it really comes down to it? externally, she's a fucking wild force to be dealing with and rest assured, if you cross her you are dead. she has anger issues so severe its a wonder how she hasnt set herself on fire at some point

and then, suddenly, it's the other way around. s3b sasha is awkward, fidgety, fussy, she's afraid of her own shadow in the sense that she feels immense amount of guilt and doesnt want to fall back into her old habits again. shes trying her best to please anne as much as she can and she tiptoes around everything so hard you can't help but feel bad for her.

sure, she still has a mild form of anger issues, and to be fair, she was sorta pushy in commander anne trying to do "damage control" if you look at it from a different perspective, but. she's kinda a mess. especially in turning point. she literally ugly sobs reading anne's journal and realizing just how much her past actions have hurt her. she goes to sleep in the barn on bare chunks of hay because she just feels so horrible about herself.

anne is the opposite. she feels more comfortable about herself, she has goals, she knows that her families (both adoptive and biological) got her back and she finally learns to own up to her mistakes and accept responsibility. she's scared, she doesnt know what's going to happen tomorrow or even today, but most importantly is that she likes who she sees in the mirror now. she can always fall back on herself because she feels confident enough to do so and she wont take no shit.

so its a veeeery hilarious dichotomy to see them interact during the resistance era. now anne is the one who has to give a little nudge to sasha to move them forward together. she's the one who has to convince sash to take the helm once again and she isnt afraid to speak up her mind if she doesnt agree with her at the moment.

sasha's lenient, tries to hide how she feels all in favour of making anne more "comfortable" and hangs onto her every word. she's unsure and she so desperately wants to show that she's changed, she ends up tripping on her own feet.

i wonder how anne felt about this new side of sasha. her friend was kinda her idol, the cool strong one her whole life, the kid that protected her & marcy at the swings quite literally first time they met and she was her "follower", slinking in her shadows and quietly supporting whatever sasha wants to do next even at her own expense. and then anne has to be the one to take the reins because clearly sasha isn't in the right headspace now to do so.

same with sasha. she was used to the fact that anne agreed with whatever she said, but you see that anne is ready to take her down a peg if she ever deems it necessary to do so. she's generally just outspoken and expressive. she has sudden anger outbursts because she just feels so worried for others. maybe anne doesnt need her anymore like she used to, maybe she can protect herself now, including but not limited to from sasha herself

idk guys. its neat. it really is. and i wish there was more sashanne introspective resistance arc fanfic expanding on that idea cuz when they finally reunite both of them are completely different people, so even though they may have used to be friends in the past and shared history and know all the deets about the other, they dont know this new person. at all. not in the slightest. having to settle in with this vastly dissimilar relationship they got going on in comparison to the previous, all in the middle of a fucking war. it's like stopping talking to one of your childhood best friends in elementary and randomly renewing your friendship in college. you two have grown and evolved so much that really, all you know is their name.

it's both an exhilirating and a melancholic experience at once.

damn. i love the gays sooo bad i love my blorbos guys
