#marcy wu parenting lore

[wren-writes-things]

wren please tell me you haven't gone to find a hivemind. bc i think that'll traumatise everyone.

What? No. I would never do that. Not in a million years. Nope, no hiveminds here. No need to be concerned whatsoever.

Something I love about Amphibia‘s writing is how it might not have enough time to explain everything that’s going on- but it manages to imply to the audience an idea of what happened anyways just through simple dialogue or background details

[jaekaicx]

just a ton of amphibia headcanons i thought of on the fly

(but its mostly the calamity trio bc im unapologetically biased)

starting off simple: anne she/her trans aspec lesbian

marcy he/they nby demiboy queer demisexual

sasha she/he genderqueer bisexual

age hierarchy: sasha > anne > marcy

marcy’s actually a year younger than anne and sasha. they skipped a grade when they were rly young

anne is the tallest, followed by sasha, and marcys the shortest

growing up anne and sasha would “fight” over who’s taller. it was a pride thing for sasha, and anne kind of just went with it at first but slowly got into it as time went on. when anne finally overtook her for good sasha had a mini crisis

tho i actually rly like the idea of marcy being the tallest. so there was a point in late elementary school where marcy was the tallest. it was a… very interesting period of time

the boonchuy household is their main hangout place. sometimes sasha hosts sleepovers or whatever at his place when his parents are away. they try not to be at marcy’s place

none of their parents are outright abusive, but bad enough to give their kids issues

the boonchuy parents are relatively the best parents. maybe not the best but much better than the others.

the wus have a lot of high expectations for marcy while also acknowledging them as little as possible, and their “love” was very conditional. they support marcys interest, but its less out of genuinely caring abt him and more “ok cool yeah take this and dont bother me anymore”

the boonchuy household is basically a second home for marcy. he keeps a toothbrush and a few sets of clothes over there. they move in with them after amphibia

the waybrights are… complicated. and not in a good way. bottom line is theyre hardly around and when they are its never really good

uhhh anyways marcy’s obviously not neurotypical

one of their many phases was a small rubiks cube phase. hed always have some sort of rubiks cube on him which theyd solve whenever their hands were free. his favorite one was a mini 3x3 rubiks cube on a keychain

the trio has an smp

marcy always tries to get anne and sasha into whatever videogame hes into at the moment. with anne it kind of varies a lot, but sasha genuinely gets into the games marcy introduces to her. they like to talk abt games to each other: lore, plot, theories, ships, discourse, you name it

anne usually likes more peaceful games like minecraft, animal crossing, stardew valley, stuff like that. the only exception is anime fighting games. no i wont elaborate

all of their sleepovers involve a hardcore mario kart battle. the three are always neck to neck and they race fiercely.

none of them really know how to play smash bros

marcy is a chara apologist. sasha kins undyne. anne just wants to hug all the monsters bc they need it.

sasha cut his hair some time after true colors. she’d been reflecting a bunch on everything that happened and just so happened to have a small gender awakening as well. it was rly messy at first but he was able to get it fixed soon after and now has a sick undercut

she keeps it long enough to tie it back tho. anne had quite the surprise when she came back to amphibia

sasha’a hair is dyed blonde !! its naturally brown

marcy’s the one to introduce fanfiction to anne and her eyes have been opened

marcy will watch basically anything but particularly likes documentaries and animated movies/cartoons. anne and sasha both watch anime but are into different kinds (dont ask me tho i dont rly watch anime)

anne was the first to figure out her gender. she knew ever since she was rly young, like shortly after she met marcy. her parents were really accepting (tho it was a little bit of a learning curve). anne kind of just said that she liked more feminine stuff (in kids terms of course) and her parents kind of just went with it. none of them exactly knew what it was called until anne was like 9 or so, and when anne did find out she was like “oh yeah that sounds abt right”

marcy was next on the gender train. he found out abt being nonbinary around mid elementary school (around 7-8 years old) and kind of just went with that. that is until they learned abt pronouns and more gender stuff a little bit before amphibia happened. they had a lot of time to think abt it while in amphibia.

marcy mainly used they/them from mid elementary school to when they got transported to amphibia. he added on he/him some time during s1 when they were on their own

sasha didnt board the gender train until after amphibia. he tried talking with anne and marcy abt their gender experiences tm but it never felt quite right. they helped her with researching and eventually come to terms with being genderqueer

marcy has cried to home by cavetown on multiple occasions. yes anne and sasha have walked in on him listening to it. those were two awkward conversations

sasha ended up crying with marcy

anne didnt rly have to come out as trans to marcy and sasha bc shes kind of always been out. anne was the first person marcy came out to as nonbinary, shortly followed by sasha

marcys parents never realized that anne was trans. one time at dinner they asked marcy “what happened to that young boy you were friends with when you were really young” and anne was sitting right across the table

when marcy got their first binder he had it mailed to the boonchuys’ house. anne was there when he first tried it on. there was a lot of crying that day

the trio have a sort of distress code word that when they send it in their group chat, the others are to try to drop everything and go to the person who send the distress word. they set up a cuddle pile with lots of blankets and put on a comfort movie on netflix

anne tends to be the one to use it the most bc sasha doesnt like being vulnerable and marcy doesnt like asking for help or being a “burden”

anne’s the best cook out of all of them. marcy can make a bunch of simple stuff but things tend to spontaneously catch fire when theyre alone in the kitchen. sasha cant rly cook but she does bake a lot

marcy has them all catch up on all the cool cartoons they missed after they got back from amphibia

marcys favorite superhero is spider-man

sasha once tried to convince his parents to let her play football. when she told anne and marcy abt it they couldnt tell if sasha was joking abt it or not

anne and marcy write fanfiction. they beta read each others works a lot (sasha too sometimes if they can get him to)

when sprig gets to earth, he goes through like seven of the main “young boy” phases at once (fortnite, minecraft, nerf, pokemon, yknow that stuff)

sasha’s that one kid in gym class that takes everything way too seriously

the trio tried to use a ouija board at a sleepover. that was the only time sashas name got put in the book of losers

sasha plays league of legends

marcy and anne traded clothes a lot when they were younger

anne can and will bring home any animal she finds out on the streets. frogs, cats, dogs, birds… one time she tried to wrangle in a raccoon

marcy loves being the little spoon

anne is a karen (canon)

the plantars keep falling for online scams and anne’s almost lost her identity multiple times

anne finds one of marcy’s rubiks cubes and keeps it with her. she sometimes fidgets around with it when she goes back to amphibia

marcy lowkey hoped theyd get a cool scar sometime in amphibia (not like this tho…)

anne tries to avoid cooked meat after true colors…

suddenly sasha, anne, and sprig have a fear of heights :D

one of the many results of true colors is that marcy has chronic pain that varies day to day. on the really bad days they can hardly get himself to get out of bed. theres lots of cuddling on those days

at least half the school thought sasha anne and marcy were dating

the three like to lean on each other a lot. resting their heads on their shoulders, laying across their laps, leaning back to back. they just love being in physical contact, especially after amphibia

it takes a while for anne and sasha to warm up to each other again and to get used to cuddling. its not exactly like before amphibia but its still nice

anne doesnt like looking at sashas scar while march likes to trace over it with his thumb. its oddly calming to sasha

all three go and get therapy after amphibia. the therapist(s) is very concerned

they all have their hair short as adults

marcy tried cutting his hair once. he had to get a rly short undercut to salvage it

marcy has a giant collection of legos. anne and sasha usually helped out when making them. they had to stop sasha from smashing a couple out of frustration

sprig tried to take apart and remake a couple of marcys legos. thankfully marcys fairly organized and it wasnt hard to find the manuals

anne’s 14th birthday is very tense

marcy is part filipino bc i said so

sasha is wasian

all of them have family scattered around the us and a few members around the world

their elementary school did the thing where when they needed to get the kids from one place to another, they had a specific line up order (usually alphabetic) to try to stop kids from fighting for places in the line. bc of this marcy and sasha hung out a lot in the back of the line bc of their last names

anne proudly held one of the first few spots in line

sasha tries to throw one of those huge teen house parties tm one time in high school but anne stops her

TRUE COLOURS

Here we go!

Oh no, there’s no intro. Oh fuck, it’s happening.

Flashback!!!! Marcy!!!!!!!

‘PSAT Prep for the soul’

‘Look at this cool bug I found’ I love Marcy

Oh is this going to focus on Sasha’s and Marcy’s relationship? So far we’ve only explored the dynamic between Sasha and Anne.

Oh my god was that Bill???? Wait I have to go back what was on the cover of the book? ‘Dr P’s Extraordinary Guide To Magic and Mystery’ Oh I sense another book for sale. Is this going to be like their ‘Magic Book of Spells’ from Star vs and ‘Journal 3′ from Gravity Falls? You know I’d buy that in a heart beat.

Dad? ‘Come home. We need to talk?’ Oh no. What’s going on?

Yep, divorce, it’s a bitch.

Destiny.

Marcy Wu and Crew. That’s their official team name, like the Justice League or Avengers. u can’t tell me otherwise.

Oh boy, this isn’t going to end well.

GASP IS- IS IT LEGS????? LEGS????

Aww that would be sweet, if the Plantars could go to Earth with Anne. Oh. Do you guys think that’s season 3? It’s a sort of reversal with them being in a different world.

That fucking tower, what is it? A clock? A... a lighter, or a it has to be like a clock, but like a cosmic clock, or whatever.

Real quick before Andreous appears on screen. He said he and his master want to undo the prophecy, what led Marcy to the Box was destiny, all of this is meant to happen, but what ever they do, they need to stay on Amphibia to do it, because Andreous wants them gone.

Keith David, always a win.

Yep! Knew it!

Andreous on all fours, horrifying.

Yep, told you. ‘Maybe I don’t want to rule a school, maybe I want to rule a kingdom.’ She wants power, more importantly she enjoys power!

Come on Andreous, really that’s all you got?

Marcy and Andreous must know each other well and have a lot of trust in each other, if they can understand a nod from the other. It’s heart braking that he’s a villain too. Everybody’s getting betrayed.

Come on, kick her ass Anne!

Oh no, I see it now, Marcy wants to fix the friendship because she doesn’t want Anne and Sasha split apart because it parallels her parents getting divorced, oh god, poor Marcy. That worries me she’s willing to be hurt and betrayed and walked over for them just to stay together with Sasha.

No.

*sigh of relief* Why didn’t it work?

OH BECAUSE OF ANNE NOT CHARGING THE CRYSTAL FULLY!!!!

YES ANNE KILL KILL KILLL

HEADBUTT!!!!!!!!!!!!! CHAD ANNE!!!!!!!!

I HAVEN’T CLAPPED FOR ANYTHING IN THIS SHOW BEFORE BUT THE TRUE HERO HAS ARRIVED! GENERAL YUNAN

HOW DARE YOU SILENCE HER

I love her face.

ANOTHER GASP Are we going to the basement???? No just outside, okay.

Sal’s!!!! See? It’s all connected. And definitely not filler.

‘They do.’ I love her.

Hop Pop finally living out his dream.

Kick their ass Polly! I want Yunan to become Polly’s mentor.

What’s the present?

‘What’s the matter? You don’t like it?’ Worried Toad DadTM

HOLY SHIT WHAT

‘If it is, then it’s a really good thing we stopped him.’ Oh no, so many ‘oh no’s today

Hold on, back up, I need to see the evil-ass painting again, and analyse it using my English Media skills I learned at school. Uh huh, uh huh, I see, it’s the PowerPuff Girls fighting against Him. IT’S A SPACESHIP!? OF COURSE IT’S A SPACE SHIP! IT’S ALWAYS A SPACESHIP! Yep there’s the moss people being eradicated, the music box somehow powering the castle spaceship. Andreous, or maybe an ancestor of Andreous, his father or grandfather maybe, wielding the box under the Sauron Pinecone. Oh and a lot of dead frogs and or toads, nice. Some flame over Anne too. The spark inside our hearts, I’m sure.

Alright, that was a lot, resume please.

Oh no, we’re not even half way through the episode, that’s not good.

Ah you see! The boy who cried wolf! Anne’s not gonna believe you now!

Oh I love the animation on this fight.

‘My one good eye.’

Yeah, but also no, but yeah, but no... this is a lose-lose situation.

Oh no, still an entire half of the episode to go.

Oh god that face.

What’s gonna happen?

LORE TIME IS EVIL TIME!!!!!!

OH SHIT OH SHIT UHHH A LOT IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW

IT’S A FUCKING GUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

IT’S A FUCKING GUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THE TOWER IS A FUCKING GUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

IT’S NOT A CLOCK, IT’S A FUCKING GUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Best reveal.

...what... she... she knew...

EVERYBODY IS GETTING BETRAYED!!!!!!

‘TRUE COLOURS’ THIS TITLE HAS SO MANY MEANINGS

THAT WAS THE PROPOSITION! FUCK!
