In the spirit of “Oh My God It’s Been Like Two Years I Really Need To Start Writing Again” and also needing money to pay bills, I’m opening ko-fi fic requests!!! Drop me a ko-fi donation and I’ll write a quick fic based on your request. (SFW only, no OCs, more details in the link)

i just remembered that when i was briefly thinking about sashannarcy ship kids i had considered (one of?) them being an adopted amphibian and now i’m sad again

can’t wait to write the fic i’ve been planning for a year and pretend that season 3 never happened :)

Amphibia was incredible.

I wasn’t going to give it a chance at first. The premise was silly to me, and the few season 1 episodes I caught now and then didn’t do anything for me. But I heard talk and saw fan art, saw that so many people loved these characters dearly, and that pushed me to see the show through. And I am so glad that I did.

The story of Anne, Sasha, and Marcy’s relationship is so real and so near and dear to my heart. The tragedy of their imperfect love for each other is beautiful, and that alone made me fall in love with this show. That all three would do anything for each other, whether it’s make terrible mistakes or change for the better, is the true love that I so desperately long to experience. They’re cartoon characters, but they’re written so real. They’re so, so important to me.

Of course there are things that I would have done differently, and things that I wish could have been explored more. I feel that a number of the slice of life episodes drag, especially in season 1, and it hurts the show’s pacing. I vehemently loathe season 3’s aversion to addressing Sasha and Marcy until it’s their time to show up for the plot. I feel that Darcy was severely underutilized. I wish we could have seen more of Sasha and Marcy’s calamity powers. I wish we had seen more of Andrias’s relationship with Leif and Barrel. I really don’t like that the day was saved by a plot device only introduced in the final episode.

And I never, EVER would have written an ending as tragic as the one we got. I’m afraid of unhappy endings, of leaving things unresolved or on an unidealistic note. Of course we all wish that the worlds hadn’t been cut off. It hurts to know that Anne will never get to see Sprig and Polly grow up, that Grime will never get to see just how far Sasha has come, that Marcy will never get to have the familial relationship with Olivia and Yunan that they deserved. It’s especially hard to know that even after everything they’ve been through together, Anne, Sasha, and Marcy still drifted apart. It’s so, so hard to say goodbye. So hard to accept that not everything gets a perfect, happy ending, wrapped up in a neat little bow. That sometimes things change, not always for the better, and all you can do is remember and move on.

It’s not a perfect ending. But in a lot of ways, I feel it’s the perfect ending for Amphibia.

Amphibia is not and was never an escapist fantasy. It’s clearly a story very personal to its creator, one that aims to share some of the hard truths he’s learned in his life. Amphibia is a story about love and loss and how those things change you, how you improve and become stronger for those you love, and what you’ll give for them. But it doesn’t try to convince us that love can conquer anything, because it can’t. Sometimes, no matter how hard it is, you have to say goodbye. I think that’s a really important lesson, not just for the audience, but for the characters.

Anne will never forget Sprig, Polly, and Hop Pop, and they’ll never forget her. They changed each other for the better, and their lives are better for it, even if they can’t be together anymore. Maybe Anne, Sasha, and Marcy didn’t get to be together forever, maybe life led them in different directions, but their love for each other still made them better people. And maybe it’s enough to know that despite everything, no matter how far apart they are, their love will always find each other.

And if that isn’t enough, well, we’ll always have fan fiction.

I know that my passion for this show will fade, just like it did for all the shows before it. But I will never forget the feelings Amphibia made me feel, and I truly believe that Reunion, (especially) True Colors, and The Hardest Thing will go down as some of my all-time favorite episodes of television. I know that the story of Amphibia is one that will change my approach to storytelling, and hopefully me as a person, for the better.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart, to both Matt Braly and the crew and all the fan creators who got me invested, for Anne, Sasha, and Marcy. And to Sprig, Polly, Hop Pop, Grime, Olivia, Yunan, and Andrias, goodbye, and thank you for all the awesome adventures.

After a month or so of being split up in the wilderness, the Calamity Trio is reunited. However, in this dramatic space of time, Marcy has not ONCE bathed. So the first thing Anne does is shove that stinky nerd into a bath

Of course, Marcy is notorious for never cleaning her hair the right way (getting lost in thought leads to forgetting shampoo or not rinsing it out and generally results in greasiness) so Anne says “Get your big head up here, I’m cleanin it for you.”

Marcy’s immediate reaction is to laugh and go “Anne nooooo I’m not a baby 🙄😝” but then Anne’s fingers are running through her hair and caressing her head and “oogh 😳”

“Marcy. Marcy you have to rinse”

“whASVGBKHFSD” *dunks entire face underwater*

what if. amphibia au where Anne gets captured and possessed instead of Marcy.

Sasha and Marcy get sent back to earth and Anne sacrifices herself to let them through. now Sasha and Marcy have to work out their grievances and guilt while also finding a way back to Amphibia AND dealing with their family lives

When they get back they have to team up with the Plantars (who don’t trust them!! reasonably!!!) to save Anne and defeat Andrias, but whoops!! Anne’s sharing her body with an eldritch horror and it has access to her glowy blue powers of death!!!!

and in order to save her, Sasha and Marcy have to reconnect with their calamity powers. symbolizing their reconnecting with Anne and each other…………………..

Webber: …but only the Spider Warriors found on the Archipelago are venomous. The difference between Spider Warriors and Depth Dwellers is that Dwellers are independent of other spider subspecies while Warriors protect smaller spiders and their queen. Isn’t that so cool?! But not all cave-dwelling spiders are solitary, some of them will work together, like how a Cave Spider will distract prey to allow a Spitter to subdue them, and then they’ll rip apart the carcass to share a friendly little meal together! Now Shattered Spiders are the ones you want to be wary of, they can dismantle a body in seconds…
