Sasha's Parents
Allright, so thanks to the diary we finally got some definite info on Sasha's parents. Let's dissect it, and analyze how the divorce might have turned her into the person she is today.
According to Anne, Sasha's parents divorced when she was around four- or five-years-old. Her father remarried and doesn't seem to have had any other kids, while her mother has a long-term boyfriend who has kids of his own.
So what does this tell us? Well, the first thing we have to do is speculate which of Sasha's parents has custody of her, because knowing that, we can draw a lot of conclusions.
Personally, I am almost certain that it's her father, for reason i'll go into below.
Firstly, let's analyze the events of the divorce, before trying to figure out how the events of the series relates to the original plan the creators had to have an episode where Sasha reveals the full details of her backstory to Anne.
Mr and Mrs Waybright divorced when Sasha was 5 years old, but the implication we get from what little we know about the two people involved suggests that this wasn't simply a case of two people realizing things weren't working out... Because the implications seems to be that Mrs Waybright left her husband for another man... Who already had kids of his own, and who she very explicitly did not marry.
Why is this important? Because it explains everything we ever needed to know about Sasha's seething, burning desire to always be in control, and more importantly, on top.
Because in Sasha's 5 year old mind, seeing her mom leave her dad for another man, who already had a bunch of kids, while abandoning her, is tantamount to saying that she was worthless in her mother's eyes. She didn't measure up. Clearly her mom cared more about these kids than her... When in reality, it was the new boyfriend she actually cared about, not the kids. Neither the new ones... Or her own flesh and blood.
It also explains perfectly why Sasha's reaction to the Plantars "Stealing" Anne from her turned her downright murderous. In her mind it was basically history repeating itself again. Her losing someone she loved to another family she knew nothing about.
No wonder this girl hated the very concept of family.
Meanwhile, her dad married another woman, which which can safely assume was not a warm, loving relationship. More likely than not, whether this woman wanted to try and be a mother to Sasha, it's abundantly clear that that wasn't gonna happen. After the divorce, Sasha would have rejected any and all attempts at replacing her mother, and that stuck.
Her eternal quest to make Anne and Marcy happy is also explained by this. Sasha wants to make the people she loves happy. She wants them to like her, to appreciate her, to be rewarded with love and attention by people she loves and cares about.
But while this does explain a lot(Her control issues, her disdain for family, her non existent love for said family) there is still some things it does not explain, or at least there seems to be something more we aren't told.
So, let's put forth another question, to explain the things that a simple, if ugly divorce does not explain.
Was Sasha abused by her parents?
Throughout the series, Sasha continously says some extremely heavy lines, that though they fit perfectly with what is happening in the moment, all seem to be as a response to something else that happened previously in Sasha's life, that we just don't have the context for.
When Sasha hits her absolute lowest point, after having seemingly destroyed the only thing she truly cared about for Good and all, Sasha very deliberately refers to herself as belonging in the Trash, and that it's all someone like her deserves, in a tone that suggests she is accepting something she felt deep in her heart was innevitable.
That could be her being overly dramatic... But it could be something else.
Like she had been told that this was all she amounted to, a worthless brat who no one would love, who belonged in the trash.
Not while Anne and Marcy are getting by withouth me.
This line is pretty clear in it's meaning, but again, the way it's said and worded suggests it's referencing something someone else said at some point.
Hey anne... Maybe you're better off without me.
Sasha's famous line when she decides to kill herself is an important one, and one where she proves that she is willing to lay down her life for anne if it comes to that.
But knowing the circumstances with her parents divorce, it's hard not to read more into it. That Sasha had a genuine fear that her mother didn't just leave her, but that she was better off withouth her.
That could be projecting... but it doesn't have to be. Sasha could have heard it straight from the horse's mouth.
End of discussion
This one is absolutely referencing a line. This is a line Sasha uses to shut down any arguments Anne has when Sasha wants the discussion to end.
But that isn't something kids tend to learn on their own. They learn that by example. By mimicking others.
So before going into speculation of how Sasha may or may not have been abused, lets finish by pointing out the biggest argument for it.
The incredibly unsettling, and unnatural way Sasha does not care about her Parents in any way.
Sasha makes it abundantly clear throughout the entire series that she does not care about her parents. At all. Her relationship with them isn't a complicated one. It's nonexistent. As far as she cares, it does not exist.
That is incredibly unnatural behavior from a child. Even the most abused, or neglected of children will usually have some form of natural attachment to their parents, or parental figures. It's simply the way human beings are made.
It takes A LOT to break that bond completely, even for an adult.
But Sasha isn't an adult. She is a child. And yet her bond to her parents is as far as she is concerned for most of the series, broken beyond any repair.
And she doesn't care to try and fix it. That all on it's own speaks volumes of just how BAD her relationship with her folks are.
So, let's get to speculating on what exactly the kind of abuse Sasha might have gone through with her parents, because there is probably two very distinct kinds from each of her parents.
Of the two, I would guess that if she was abused, the most visceral part came from her mom.
Most of Sasha's biggest issues are clearly a result of her mother leaving her, and so this would make sense.
So, what sort of abuse might Sasha have suffered at the hands of her mother that broke her down so badly, given the woman left her behind, and so probably didn't interact with her much beyond this?
If i had to guess, all of it probably stems for what happened during the divorce, where her mom essentially put all her cards on the table, and let her real feelings be put on full display.
And there are several reasons her mom might have had to lash out at her own child. It could be as simple as the fact she used Sasha to hurt her now ex-husband. Rubbing in that he was stuck with her now.
It could be that sasha was an unplanned child that she didn't want, and had secretly resented for all five years of her life.
She may have been pressured into having her by her Mr Waybright, and now that she no longer had to even try to make him happy, she made it abundantly clear how much she never wanted the damned child he put in her.
Or she could flat out not have liked Sasha, based solely on her personality.
Whatever the reasons, it's clear that the events of the divorce shattered Sasha to her core, and would be essential into forming her into the person she was at the start of the series.
Having one of the people that Sasha(Who is a person who forms STRONG attachments) loves more than any other, turn on her completely, and reveal she always hated her would probably have done the trick.
Now, let's move on to Mr Waybright.
I am very certain that Sasha probably learned the "End. Of. Discussion." From him, as their relationship seems to have been a different kind of breakdown.
Namely that he seems to have given up on Sasha, giving her a level of personal control over her life that is downright irresponsible, letting her throw parties on the regular, seemingly giving her free access to cash as she needs it, and having failed to instill any discipline into his kid.
These are all classic symptoms of a relationship where the parent has given up, and simply gives the kid what they want so they don't have to deal with them.
But was this always the case?
The simple fact is, that with what we know of Mrs Waybright, the extreme destruction of her relationship with Sasha makes sense. There are details one has to speculate on, but there is a clear line to follow from point A to B.
Not so with Mr Waybright.
We know where they ended up, the turning point, but not the steps between.
The only thing we have to go on, Is that amongst her many, many unusual traits for someone so young, Sasha has a much older person's view on discipline. Namely she does not respond to it, because she does not respect the person delivering it, be they teachers or Grime.
It does not take a genius to figure out that this probably stems from her relationship with her father.
The simplest, and most likely explanation is that Mr Waybright attempts at parenting probably involved a lot of discipline, and attempts to instill Sasha with a sense dread at a phrace with the meaning of "This conversation is over".
In this he obviously failed, Because for whatever reason(probably something that happened during the divorce) Sasha does not respect him... But Sasha in turn seems to have learned this very kind of tactic herself from him.
Mr Waybright thusly seems to have had more of a sense of familial obligation to Sasha... At least trying to instill her with something resembling discipline... Until finally just giving up on her all together and just letting her do as she pleased.
All in all whether there was actual abuse involved, or just a child's entire world crumbling due to a very ugly divorce, I really, really wish we'd gotten Sasha's backstory episode.

Finally finished the Sashannarcy Wedding arc with Sasha's vows. Which is funny since I wrote this one first before the other 2. Wish I was able to post it with a better future but hopefully the idea of these three love-sick dorks being married helps.
I'm not planning on doing anything about the honeymoon since I can't think of any good jokes that don't end in "and then they fucked" but I'm considering doing a thing where they show off pics they took in each location. Idk

Part 2
Bonus Stage
Happy 2023, everyone! I hope that it treats you well. You deserve it, friend.
So, hey, finished my fan comic! It's always nice to clean a slate when a new year rolls around. Not that I'm not proud of this little project, but I'm also anxious to move back to my own intellectual property now that I've paid my dues to a show that seized my fancy. In any case, I hope you got a kick out of it! It sure increased my rep on Twitter, for whatever it's worth.
I'll be back soon with more original content. It'll be a blast! But meanwhile, remember, there are surely many people who aren't as cozy as some of us on this New Year's Day, and who likely don't have as much to look forward to. Once more, I encourage you to give if you find it convenient to do so. But in any case, may you and yours have ample reason and opportunity to celebrate.

Am I the only one here who thinks that Anne would be amazing at flirting?
Like, probably the best out of the Calamity Trio?
I'm not saying this just because Anne has the thai rizz coupled with the black woman swag, though it's undeniable the fact that adult Anne is objectively hot; I'm talking about her education, references, personality type and attitude.
In other words I'm talking about her mother.
That woman is not a girlfailure, and even if I doubt that Anne has inherited even half of her mother's pull up skills (though I doubt she ever even used them. Her husband definitely was the one who pulled up on her first, and accidentally, yet again proving the fact that Anne has attractiveness in her genes and running through her veins), Miss Boonchuy definitely taught her daughter how to swing at someone, even if romance wasn't the main thing being learnt here, and beyond that, there's still enough evidence to tell that if Anne ever seriously tried to pull up on anyone, aka the girls, she would have the easiest time in the world.
Genuinely, the only thing probably impeding her parents hooking up was their obliviousness, which Anne inherited as well.
Marcy is an autistic idiot (affectionate), she wouldn't want to flirt with any of the other girls because she doesn't consider them as an option; in her mind, she has already labelled them as friends, so it's impossible for her to also date them at the same time. She would have the hardest time out of any member of the Amphibia cast, due to a combination of an inability to pick up social cues, a lack of an interest for romance (I'm not in the aromantic Marcy crowd), and a lack of any rizz whatsoever that isn't coming from the Asperger's syndrome.
Sasha.... Oh boy. You've seen her in the second half of the third season, right? Girl was downbad (fan's head canon) for Anne and was passively sabotaging her plans for her. Sure, she's a tough tomboy, but I doubt that if she ever started dating someone she would be able to use her smarts and brawns to good use.

[The Calamity Trio are at a meeting with Mr X]
Mr X: …and so the next time any of you go to Amphibia, that’s what I need you to do first. Understand?
Anne: Yeah, we got it but, um…
Mr X: What?
Sasha: What’s with the sweater? It’s like, 99 today.
[Mr X is wearing a baggy sweater with an alien on the front]
Mr X: just a warning, if you ever encounter the Pine Twins, don’t try and get on their good side by agreeing to a sweater gift from the girl…she’ll literally knit it on you faster than you can blink…
