#Wartwood!Sasha

[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.

Day 979 of Amphibia Screenshots

Episode: New Wartwood

[aspynnwoofs]

i, uh. tried to make a scene from the First Temple in aWiW

i think it’s okay

i did this without any sketch, i just took my finger to the phone

meh

[detentiontrack]

Actually I am grateful that the show never really addressed Anne or Sasha's trauma in s3a because then we wouldn't have gotten the fucked up fics that resulted from various author's interpretations

[kiwibirb1]

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

FULL PERMISSION TO USE THIS IDEA BTW SEND ME THE LINK

[funstufffandomsandcoolpictures]

Fanfic is important because where else am I gonna read something this badass

[discet]

Ooh, remember that ask last month you had about "what if Marcy started out at Toad Tower?" One way I think Grime could get that book about positive reinforcement and leadership - he could get his hands on that if such a book from the library is in Marcy's backpack. Anyway, that ask has also made me want to ask: what's your interpretation on how things would go if Sasha landed in Wartwood and Anne landed in Newtopia in that scenario?

Yeah that might work. Marcy reading something like How to Make Friends and Influence People and Grime trying it as a 'This is so stupid, who really believes this garbage' would be pretty funny. Then using it on Marcy. Yeah I think you could get something going there.

As for Anne and Sasha, I know people have done these swaps before and probably put way more thought into them than I'm about to.

Anne: With Newtopia's more cosmopolitan nature and Andrias's willingness to indulge for obedience, I think Anne kind of goes full denial coping for her months in Newtopia. Recreating an approximation of her life on Earth while she waits for Sash and Marcy to find her in the capital. Andrias would insist on keeping the box in Newtopia and only allowing the girls to take the stones to recharge em.

Sasha: I think she would chafe under conditions in Wartwood. While her relationship with Grime in canon shows she is open to a mentor figure, I don't think there's anyone in Wartwood she would respect enough at first to allow that relationship in. Lets go through a few episodes to where I would change things

Beast of Wartwood: Few changes Ivy is the one who goes out looking for the beast since her and Felicia are going to be her Wartwood family. Also, Wally shows up with a black eye in his good eye after he hits Sasha with his accordian and she just decks him.

So Sasha just shows up in town one day, fighting the red mantis head on. Almost dies after her hunting stick breaks, but Ivy managed to distract the creature long enough for Sasha to live. Sasha then saves Ivy in return by killing the mantis. The townsfolk are scared and in awe, and Sasha capitalizes on this to ask for directions and supplies, basically daring them to try and mob her. Definitely think she takes a red mantis claw war-scythe as her weapon of choice to start.

Ivy offers the Sundew's Spare Room (Where Sasha and Grime stayed in canon when they came to Wartwood). Felicia is hesitant but doesn't refuse on account of Sasha saving Ivy.

(Why isn't she with the Plantars? I love the Plantars and in the context of awiw I can see Sasha having a better relationship than she did in canon, but I really don't see S1 Sasha vibing with them easily. She'd find Sprig grating, and Hop Pop high and mighty attitude insufferable. I'm sure others have done it well, but I also would like to explore Ivy more with an AU like this)

Best Fronds: So Marcy and Anne who were told 'It's suicide to try and brave the mountains this time of year' and both decide 'Well guess I'm stuck in this town for the next few months. Better get comfortable.' Sasha on the other hand hears that and goes 'Whatever, I bet I can handle it.' Takes what supplies she can gather and warm coat and just starts marching for the pass, followed in secret by Ivy who after a fight with her mom is on a 'Want to go out and see the world' kind of mood and vibes with Sasha super hard on that.

The two end up saving each other in the mountain but end up isolated in a cave after a blizzard in the pass gets worse. The two of them bond a bit, even as they start to come down with a cold. Sasha wraps Ivy in her coat so she doesn't become a popsicle (Gonna establish that while the instant hibernation is good for a day, longer stretches could be fatal for frogs.)

Both get woken up by some kind of horrible bear creature whose cave this is and Sasha is too sick to really fight effectively. Felicia ends up swooping in and saving the both of them with her kickass martial arts abilities, and drags them both back to the cafe to rest up and recover. Sasha has a new respect for both the dangers of this world and the person who took her in. Also accepts she is probably stuck here for the time being.

Dating Season: This is mostly focused on Ivy wanting to get closer with Sprig and Sasha just giving the worst most toxic advice. It's a trainwreck and an early wakeup call for her about how she's been treating her friends

Cafe Chaos: Sasha helps out Felicia with the cafe and suggests some earth-like changes to improve things, including live music, more drink options. An episode somewhere in between Lily Pad-Thai and Plantars last stand. I think things start to get out of hand when Sasha recruits Maddie to help with some of the crazier drink options.

Martial Artist: Episode of Sasha and Ivy getting Felicia to show them how she beat up the bear in best fronds and having to learn things the hard way.

Grubhog Day: Sasha convinces Ivy to play hooky with her for the day after Ivy expresses disappointment at having to miss the festival to help out a the cafe again. They have fun but Ivy gets in trouble with Felicia and Ivy gets annoyed at Sasha for it. Sasha is kind of blasse about it, basically telling Ivy not to worry about it (mirroring a flashback of a time Anne got in trouble with her parents for one of Sasha's plans) only Ivy isn't really taking it.

Tax Toads: At this point Sasha has been doing some big heroics around town and shuts down the toads as soon as they come to Felicia's cafe. Beats them into submission and drags their asses to Toadstool (who, man, Sasha does not care for). Demands to know where the tax money is and sends the tax toads with it and politely suggest they suck less at their job in the future. The ramifications of this will be obvious later

Prom Queen: Sasha runs for mayor just to belittle toadstool but ultimately ends up losing for similar reasons as Hop Pop in canon

Alright that's what I got just spitballing. Gonna go back to writing the new chapter of aAA

[sashannarcy]

My issues with S3 is that Disney’s veto against darker stories made O&Y break up the otherwise great flow of S3A: people always bring up Spider-S/HHP as rep of all of 3A instead of sacrifices the crew made to get their angsty episode. I also don’t think enough time was spent exploring post-TC Amphibia in S3B; it felt like the same setting but with a palette change. Also, I don’t like how Sprigs birthday telescope wasn’t brought back, and I felt like they downplayed Anne’s snarkiness in 3B.

tbh yea I think these are p valid issues to have! and definitely most of it is bc of Disney being a little bitch I'd imagine. I remember Matt in one of the post-s3 interviews said they were ALWAYS pushing to make Amphibia darker, and Disney would almost always strike their ideas down in favor of making the show more lighthearted. it would explain why Olivia & Yunan is just so tonally off compared to all the other s3a eps, and it would explain why they weren't able to expand more on post-TC Amphibia like u said. I believe Andrias was supposed to be missing the entire lower half of his body in All In after Anne defeats him; that obviously didn't happen. it's cool to hear abt though bc that leaves me wondering if the fan theories abt Sasha losing an eye would've actually happened (I would also say Anne losing an arm but. I think her dying and coming back as a clone and also the next god is pretty um. Severe). and then as far as the telescope and Anne personality thing yeah I think those are just writing things😔 but again they were working on such a time crunch, I really would kill to hear abt all the things they had to cut out bc I bet it's a gold mine

[cc-cuttlefishculler]

im normal <- dreamt up a whole hs amphibia au where the kids are going to amphibia this time

[agalychnisspranneusroseus]

Me with my Raised in Amphibia au: hehehe polyam wives. Queen Marcy and her two royal consorts against her evil dad 🥰 just the three of them against the world. Love each other more than anything. Unconditional loyalty.

Me with my role swap AU: what if Sasha purposely destroyed Marcy's sense of self and everyone cheered her for it. What if the bad guy was in the good guys' side and the good guy was in the bad guys' side. What if the abuser was regarded as a hero specifically because they manipulated and tormented their victim into submission and said victim was considered evil and worth punishing by everyone except for a couple of criminal toads.

[nextstop-fixationstation]

I think my most controversial amphibia opinion is that the fact the Wu and Waybright parents didn't need to be shown on screen is a testament to how genuinely hands off they were with regards to their kids' emotional lives compared to the Boonchuys, and that that's actually a good insight into why both Marcy and Sasha are Like That

Like the way Mr. Boonchuy talks to the Plantars like he's used to having three girls in the back of the car, causing trouble, and the way Sasha says, "Hang out with your friends that love you (instead of being a "Good Girl" forced to be with her parents)" and the fact Marcy straight up just runs away without a second thought all point to a distinct lack of closeness. That doesn't mean they were necessarily abusive, but their relationships are genuinely fraught in a way Anne's relationships with her family and community just aren't. I think that's actually a really important thing to note.

Given that, it also explains why Marcy trusts Andrias to the point of unreason because he validates them so much, and why Sasha grows so much when working with Grime and when confronted with Wartwood — an actual community that cares about its own and reciprocates good deeds done.

I think that the decision to call those parents essentially redundant is...ultimately fine. It makes sense. Their lack of presence should be felt and understood as, perhaps, the reason Marcy and Sasha act out the way they do, and it also serves to emphasize just how good the Boonchuys and the Plantars are as guardians

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

[heyitstwids]

Ok. Ever watch Craig of the Creek? Because I had this fun idea for an au with three COTC characters taking the place of the Amphibia main cast.

Kelsey Pokoly would take Anne’s place as a human in wartwood.

Wildernessa would take Sasha’s place as a member of the toad army.

And Stacks would take Marcy’s place as someone who ended up in Newtopia.

Here’s a pic as reference https://www.deviantart.com/doublekids07/art/Day-29-Life-of-Kelsey-Stacks-and-Wildernessa-864596752

ooooh what a fun au!! judging by their personalities on the wiki, they suit really well!

also i only watched clips n like two episodes of cotc, so sorry if anything seems out of character-

thanks for requesting as always :D

[detentiontrack]

It doesn’t excuse her behavior, but Sasha’s actions in reunion are so much deeper than “these gross frogs are annoying and I don’t want to share my best friend with them”. Sure, it may be some of it, but it’s so much more than that. (A rambly analysis of Sasha Waybright’s behavior and what led up to her suicide attempt in reunion)

Sasha perhaps had the most traumatic entry into amphibia. She went from hanging out with her friends on Anne’s birthday to being suddenly transported into a bizarre unfamiliar world filled with scary creatures she’s never seen before. And immediately after that, before she even got a chance to process, she was held at spear point, arrested, and thrown in prison in horrible conditions. It’s unclear for exactly how long, but for at least a few weeks to a month, she was kept in that prison being constantly interrogated. At this point she had no idea where her friends were, if they were even ALIVE or in the same place as her, and she didn’t know if the toads would decide to torture or even kill her.

She had to use every single manipulation tactic she had ever learned (most likely from her traumatic childhood) just to improve her conditions and chance of survival. It’s written as a joke and glossed over in the show, but that entire situation is HEAVY and TRAUMATIC. And she is 13 years old.

Sasha’s introduction, her very first perception of this strange new world, was one of trauma and pain and fear. Anne was alone and then she met the Plantars. Marcy was immediately taken in by the newts. Sasha was completely alone and for all she knew, she was the only person in that entire world that she knew she could count on.

And then…. She receives news that ANNE is there. She went from torturing herself mentally thinking about all the scenarios where she possibly lost her friends forever, to learning that there’s HOPE. But even then, the only evidence is Anne’s singular shoe. She doesn’t know if Anne is hurt or even alive. She only knows that this scary strange toad captain who is holding her captive is interrogating her on the whereabouts of her friend. Realizing that even the captain of the toad army doesn’t know where Anne is, she feels like NO ONE does.

Finally, after prison break, she’s out. Not only is she out, she is lieutenant of the entire toad army. Again, she is 13 years old. She got there by desperately manipulating her way into freedom. Suddenly, she went from being captive in a cell for a month, to having the mission of finding both of her friends alive and finding a way to get them back home AND also becoming an entire lieutenant soldier in order to uphold the end of her deal with captain Grime.

FINALLY after a really long time of trying to find her friends, she receives word that Anne is alive and well in Wartwood. And everything changes. The hope she’s been running on has been refilled. And if Anne is alive, Marcy might be too. She learns that Hop Pop is the face of the frog rebellion, but due to the news about Anne, she’s sort of tunnel visioned. People forget that before reunion, Sasha probably didn’t even really trust Grime. Later in the show they have more of a familial relationship, but at this point, their alliance is purely out of convenience. She doesn’t trust him. But she NEEDS him to get home. And he needs her. So when she learns that Grime needs to smash the rebellion, she only thinks of amphibians as the people who have kept her captive and tormented her since the moment she got there. She thinks she doesn’t owe them anything. She just needs to get home with her friends. She’s willing to do whatever it takes.

They make a plan and arrive at Wartwood. She finds out that not only is the frog that is charged with starting the rebellion Anne’s FRIEND, but she has a new family, and someone she calls her best friend. Sasha’s entire world shatters as she hears that Anne replaced her. In her mind, Anne replaced her and started over exactly like her parents when they divorced and started new families. Anne was the only constant in her life, and now not only is she replacing her, she’s also aiding and friendly with the very creatures that have been traumatizing her. This is earth shattering to her. She can’t think straight. She feels raw emotional pain and has NO time to process it. So she does the only thing she knows how to do. Continue with the plan.

She thinks that maybe Anne will realize that they’re just frogs, and this entire thing will be over and they can go home, like how things were before. She’s not the same Sasha that originally got transported to amphibia, but she expects Anne to still be the same Anne.

She’s so caught up in the emotional pain and trying to cover it up with the happiness and relief that comes with finding Anne and (in her mind) being SO CLOSE to going home, that her world ends AGAIN when Anne takes a stand against her. She takes a stand against her for the first time in their 8 years of friendship AND it’s the replacement best friend AND an amphibian that encourages her to do it.

She didn’t mean to fight Anne, but the white hot rage took over her body. She got through her entire childhood by being ANGRY and fighting back, and this was her knee jerk response.

When toad tower crumbled, her change of heart that led to her suicide attempt wasn’t due to her believing that everything she did was wrong. She wasn’t quite there yet (as shown in toad catcher). It was in response to the fact that Anne was doing fine without her. It’s the fact that Sasha thought she was so replaceable, Anne allowed a strange evil creature, who is also highly annoying, to become her new best friend and companion. Anne didn’t need her. Anne was better off without her.

So she let go.
