Toadcatcher

[kestrel-bee]

Alright so for Sasha’s Character arc could’ve been written better would we’d have more Sasha screentime in Season 2 to see more of her character progression. Like would you rewrite “Toadcatcher” or have some more Sasha episodes?

I mean I would personally wanted to see more of her onscreen development.

It’s not so much that I would rewrite any episodes per se, I just think she needed more little small moments showing that she wasn’t quite sure about her plans, so that when she DID make the switch it wouldn’t feel as rushed.

I think Toadcatchers is like, one of the only S2 episodes that show that she’s acting out of anger, hurt, and a need for control over her situation (I think so anyway, I haven’t watched Amphibia in awhile.)

Her entire S2 arc could have been fixed (for me anyway) by just having one or two little moments towards the end where she looks guilty about what she’s planning to do. Something like:

Anne: “…I can’t wait to see/do this with you when we get back home!”

Sasha, looking to the side with a guilty/pensive expression: “haha, yeah…when we get home…” [redirects Anne’s focus to something else, episode continues as normal]

I remember being pissed that Sasha during the The Dinner and Battle of the Bands wasn’t acting even a LITTLE bit guilty about how she was about to betray literally EVERYONE, and send away her friends forever without the chance to properly say goodbye.

Absolutely no remorse from her until AFTER her and Grimes’ plan fails, she watches Marcy get run through with a sword, and has to run away to Wartwood and win over the residents. And then it’s all “I’ve seen the errors of my ways! Even though I was 100% ready to overthrow everyone and create a toad empire 5hrs ago, you should trust me!!”

Besides the way her arc progresses though, I appreciate Sasha as a character. She gives such a good representation of what a toxic friend acts like, and Sasha and Anne’s face off during the end of S1 hits hard for me. And having her realize that she’s wrong, and that she needs to let go of the need to have control is a GREAT arc for a character like her, because it shows that just because you have toxic personality traits, it doesn’t mean you can’t change and become a better person.

It just sucks that her character arc wasn’t demonstrated all that well in S2.

I was reminded to make this whenever we got canon designs for Sasha’s parents....course the designs we got were them when Sash was 4-5 so by now after 25-30 years they probably changed a bit since then. I gave Mr Waybright a beard because Sasha hated Grime’s beard (”Toadcatcher” i.e. the Yunan intro ep) and it’d be funny that both her Toad dad and her human dad would have beard’s that she hates. idk if I’ll keep it tho’ just thought that’d be funny.

Jess Watches // Mon 11 Nov // Day 407 Synopses & Favourite Scenes & Poll

Ugly Betty (with mum) 4x11 Back in Her Place

A battered but unbowed Betty recounts her worst week ever to Mr. Z as the show flashes back to her horrible last few days. Meanwhile, Daniel fears Marc is sabotaging him -- and he is; Bobby treats a hormonal Hilda to some pampering during "Hilda Week," which goes awry, and Wilhelmina makes a long-term commitment to the incarcerated Connor.

"I've had to say goodbye more times than I would have liked, but everyone can say that. And no matter how many times we do it, even when it's for the greater good, it still stings.

And though we'll never forget what we've given up, we owe it to ourselves to keep moving forward.

What we can't do is live our lives always afraid of the next goodbye, because chances are they're not going to stop.

The trick is to recognize when a goodbye can be a good thing, when it's a chance to start again."

Unprisoned 2x03 How to Be Friends

Paige tries being friends with Mal, but keeps running into the same obstacle: his new girlfriend. Meanwhile, with college looming, Finn volunteers at the halfway-house, where Edwin teaches him how to fight more than his feelings.

Edwin is so close to being an amazing granddad. He is so supportive and sincerely investied in getting to know Finn. But then he lets Finn spar unprotected, when he has never thrown a punch - which is a good thing!

Also, Brandee Evans! Where is s3 of P-Valley?!

Star Trek: Prodigy 2x07 The Fast and the Curious

After using a Borg conduit to travel through time faster, Dal and his friends find themselves at the mercy of a demanding Kazon.

The circular-gate race was similar to a videogame (Tchia) I had just played this morning. In that you can race: as her, on your raft, or by soul-jumping into an animal. A Prodigy videogame would be so much fun!

Amphibia 2x04 Quarreler's Pass/Toadcatcher

Hop Pop drops Sprig and Polly off at a trail designed to help them get along. / Sasha and Grime must reconcile their differences to escape Newtopia's most skilled warrior.

Hop Pop asking Anne if she had a boyfriend, cutting to Sasha still mad at Anne, was definitely a choice. 👀

Collected the images of Sasha Waybright I'd drawn over the years and you can see the stages of my human art development in them... wow

I start rambling beneath the cut sorry

I thought I'd drawn like 3 images of fully-coloured humans and 2/3 of them would be Sasha but no.. I had 7 and 5/7 are Sasha and they're all different styles (other two were Luz + Amity, and Ibuki Mioda)

Girl who I got so obsessed with that my human artstyle is mostly based on her...

ALSO improvement?? I don't wanna post all of it but like

I did a screenshot redraw from Toadcatcher a while back so I thought I might as well try another Toadcatcher screenshot and guys??? Guys... I didn't redraw the background this time around but it still looks SUPER cool

Both were very heavily referenced from the original scenes with my twist on them so it's probably nothing at all, I'm just so fascinated with the differences!!

I tried a different style of lineless that isn't the one I normally use and I think it looks so much better for this, and her expression and the shading got much more confident and sure

And I mean it was super heavily referenced to clarify both times I remember tracing the original before going over a second time in my style

But I think I've got the hang of it now... so I might start posting human art soon alongside my cats haha!

I did this one too I'm not as happy with it but I'm still pretty happy (still referenced, I have actual drawings that aren't referenced I promise they're just sketches)

I'm working on my human art and it's showing!! I'm so elated

Day 1015 of Amphibia Screenshots

Episode: Toadcatcher

[adorawasright]

I've read some asks that talked to you about Amphibia, specifically Sasha, and I know you have some reservations about the show because of some controversial stuff the crew has done; however, if you ever want to explore about Sashanne as I've read that you're interested in the ship these are the episodes that focus on it: Reunion, Toadcatcher, The Third Temple, some in The Dinner, The Battle of the Bands, True Colors, Turning Point, Commander Anne, Sasha’s Angels.

Then about Sasha’s characterization, those episodes are pretty great: Prison Break, Reunion, Toadcatcher, The War Hammer, The Third Temple, The Beginning of the End, All In, The Hardest Thing, Olm Town Road, and the others above.

You can read the summary in the Amphibia fandom wiki as a replacement for watching the episodes but if you ever change your mind about watching the show, those are the eps that can give you a better understanding of Sasha’s character and Sashanne. Still, that's your choice.

Thanks for this great blog, by the way. The more people notice the important flaws of She-Ra, especially how Catradora was portrayed, the better.

Oh, thank you for the resources! And thanks for the support, too <3

One complaint about S2 I heard after finishing it was that Joe Sparrow took away the scale of Amphibia. Before, the characters had to take a while to get to place to place, but with Joe now they could just warp around Amphibia.  

However it didn’t bother me because S2 had Sasha be separate from the main cast. This means cutting back to her gave us an idea of what’s going on the other side of Amphibia. In Barrels Warhammer  it’s seen that the toad lords know that about Anne and Marcy traveling around to the temples. In Toadcatcher our first glimpse of Newtopia is through Yunan, and we get an idea of how Newtopia views the events of “Reunion”. 

However I feel 3B definitely has Amphibia feel smaller in scale, and not this big continent it felt like at the start of S2. This is because 3B really only takes place near frog valley, and little bit of Quarrelers pass.  

We never get to see what the Toads are being used for after being captured in Turning Point, or what happened to residents of Newtopia after it’s destruction.  I do love the idea of Frog Valley being much more stable than everywhere else it keeps the concept of the Frogs being underestimated but are a lot capable than people think. But everyone pretty much being in this area, without seeing everywhere else can make Amphibia feel like it’s just Frog Valley.   

Beatrix’s army feels like it’s chilling until Sasha calls them up, and Tritonio sort of gets an army out of nowhere. You could assume those are the residents of Newtopia that fled, but I wish that was empathized more(seriously seeing some of the Newtopia characters again would’ve been great). 

I do think 3B does a good job of seeing how individuals have been changed by the setting, but I think seeing the entirety of Amphibia would’ve helped a lot in making it feel bigger than LA.  Though I do think the size of the Army helps with that a bit. 

I think a good way of fixing this would be to see Andrias and Darcy’s perspective of taking over more often, and being more active and tactical in doing so. If we get an idea that different parts of Amphibia are mined to prepare for the invasion. It gives us an idea of Amphibia is changing in places we don’t see outside of frog valley.  

Side Note: 

I like the idea of Andrias being wanting to use the Amphibians and more individual people, while Darcy uses Robots and those possessed by the spore collars. Darcy wanting to use people it can easily control and that have no soul or individually works a lot with the Core’s foil with Sasha. 

And Andrias wanting to use individuals and stopping them from being hypnotized gives the idea of him still wanting to build connections, but still is doesn’t stand up to the Core, and still choosing to pick it’s side above all else.
