#that's all i have to say about amphibia

[clacing]

you know how in the pilot anne says she and her friends used to do literally everything together and that without them she feels completely lost and how the whole thing started because marcy was afraid they wouldn't be friends anymore if they couldn't see each other every day and how sasha thought she had to control anne and marcy's every move to keep them with her - and then they did stop seeing each other everyday and they did drift apart but they found their way back to each other anyway and they got to see, with their own eyes, that all of their fears were unfounded? yeah

#nearly cried about this over my dinner #sashannarcy #calamity trio #amphibia #people say marcy was overreacting and i don't think you understand how traumatic it is #to spend all your time with the same two people you've known since you were like. four. and then to have that suddenly ripped away #like of course you think that's gonna kill your friendship. you don't know any other way to be friends! #but you will. and it won't

[frogonamelon]

It's that time of year again where it gets a little warmer and I remember that Amphibia is a show I very much enjoy thinking about. Have some Anne outfits, as a treat <3

If you would like to see what aspect of headcanon/ au worldbuilding had consumed my consciousness like a pestering maggot, feel free to continue below.

Hello! Welcome to I focus on researching one very specific detail until I burn out!

My entire day has been consumed by figuring out how Amphibia's farming works. Like... amphibians are carnivores why do they have farms?

Well, I'll tell you why! The Plantars grow animal feed for predominantly crickets but also others such as silkworms, spiders, snails, etc. They grow produce like cabbage, mushrooms, parsnips, potatoes, dandelions, and turnips as well as heartfruit, a fruit not found on Earth.

In the past, the original amphibian hunter/gatherer societies found that mealworms were attracted to fallen heartfruit, among others. They began to use this knowledge to make traps and eventually began both containing the worms as well as growing the fruit.

Despite mealworms historical prominence in the farming and feeding of Amphibia, crickets are more popular nowadays due to their higher levels of protein. They also began growing a larger variety of produce to further increase efficiency.

Heartfruit is a kind of tree grown fruit with the color of a raspberry, size of a kumquat, and shape of a peach (hence the name). The Plantar's orchard is the only producer of this fruit as its traditionally significant but not necessary for frog kind. They are Anne's personal favorite of the Plantar's produce, being chalk full of nutrients and somehow feels nostalgic to her.

Speaking of Anne, she survives mostly on the Plantar's produce along with cricket meat (knowing that she can at least eat crickets).

After discovering that the amphibians hibernate, she begins to plant pole beans, blueberries, elderberries, and other produce and herbs in her greenhouse to cultivate while she forages and stockpiles for winter. She preps and stores wild rice, pecans, and sunflower seeds (discovered through trial and error). She keeps spare root veggies and other product in the basement. The Plantars help her do this, once they understand the situation, drying heartfruit and salting and smoking fish as well as making jerky out of bugs that they know she can have.

Anne's gonna learn to survive, even if the first winter is especially hard.

#Not my usual content but I love her and this au so much <3 #amphibia #4 Stars Au #I've done the research for what Anne would grow and eat no less than four times and it comes out vastly different each time. #Researching what grows in swamps + what frogs eat + what bugs humans can have + what the plantars grow + ... #farmer anne #trans anne boonchy my beloved #I could not find a suitable place for this but a different farm grows spirulina (a freshwater algae) for tadpoles. Anne will also eat this. #They are sold in jars (like baby food) #This whole au is about emphasizing the differences between humans and amphibians #Anne is warmblooded? Must prepare for winter #Can't live on an amphibian's diet? Eat animal feed and forage #Sasha is more resistant to the harsh climate of the mountains as well as to dangerous substances like citris and salt #She eats orange slices as a power play is all I'm saying #Marcy ends up being the first to truly research Amphibia's oceans because she can acturally survive touching the sea #Desi (4th star) is called the 'Sunchild' for a reason #Can't breathe underwater?

anne boonchuy was a refreshing girl protag bc she started out as kinda bratty instead of being super optimistic and sweet after landing in a swampy frog world. sasha waybright is still the best example of a "mean popular girl" in a disney cartoon. and marcy wu literally suffered more than jesus christ.

#amphibia tag #not arguing with anyone on any of these btw. just my opinions</3 #i have a lot to say on what i didnt care for in amphibby s3 but idt i should have to talk about that in the tags of every post i make about #this damn cartoon so </3 #which idt i even talk about that much but. ok shutting up about this all now.

[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

#and when i say fucked up fics i mean that in a very positive way!!! #we never ever would have gotten heavy gorey fics about sasha losing her eye in wartwood or anne having a breakdown after a heavy #dissociative episode. the angst was literally top tier during that time period because we were all losing our minds more and more #after every filler episode #AND we also got EXCELLENT adoptive dad dad grime + sasha content during that time #and post canon speculation where they stayed together #and hurt/comfort with anne and sprig #and speculation on the finale and how the fight with darcy/'the night' would go #i think even though i wasnt a huge fan of s3a. september-december 2021 was the BEST era of the amphibia fandom #amphibia

[candydos]

I’m gonna seriously cry when anne and sprig say goodbye. for real. no jokes here.

#amphibia #I had a whole brain spill about how sprig is probably really clingy to people he likes because of his parents going… poof #and the end of all in had him slowly coming around to the fact that he’s going to have to let another good thing go #but I feel like he’s still in conflict because man he’s 11 they’re fighting the moon like clearly this is the way things will be forever! #silly wacky adventures just him and their party of 4 #but HP’s showing more signs and age and Polly’s developing her own interests.. with Anne leaving.. where does that leave him? yknow? #sure he has ivy and Maddie too but they also have their own things with their families #I don’t know where I’m going with this but it’s so sad and I’m sure he’ll figure it out he’s a good kid #but at least this time he has the proper chance to say goodbye unlike last time.. Anne’s not /just/ leaving him #but in fact they’re /both/ parting ways with each other.. and maybe it’s come closure he needs too #WAH emo over frogs at 2pm in the afternoon #candy laments

The other day I had someone say they thought it sounded like I would be happier focusing on writing instead of coding (they're not really wrong but we're not getting into that)

I mentioned the comment to my dad yesterday and he responded with something that really pissed me off: "Well writing is going to become pretty obsolete soon thanks to AI like Chat GPT"

First of all, GPT is a stupid idiot. It can't even write a poem that doesn't rhyme when specifically directed to do so, or when it's told to remove the rhyme after failing to write a free verse poem in the first place.

It's never going to top human creativity. It won't make a rant about romantic attraction wrapped in a prayer to frozen yogurt. It won't pull off Amphibia's Rube Goldberg machine of Chekov's guns. It won't do a good job telling the story of a Latina, neurodivergent, bisexual girl. These are all human things that humans will do better than the stupid AI. I'm tired of people having more faith in Chat GPT than other people

#That frozen yogurt example is a real thing I wrote #I don't think I'm gonna share it though #at least not right now #Also Dad is next on the list of family members I'm gonna bitch about in a poem #I already have ones where I get angry with my mom or sisters or one particular cousin #dumb stupid ai #Chat GPT #AI #writing #rant #amphibia #the owl house #It sometimes feels like my parents don't have much interest in me the human #One thing that I saw quite a bit over the last few months was people on CS discords saying they didn't understand a certain problem #someone else would then respond suggesting Chat GPT but warn them that it WILL be wrong but it's a 'good place to start' #I personally believe if it's wrong then that's actually a very very bad place to start and you should stop suggesting it #If I'm desperate enough to be asking idiot-incapable-of-freeverse AI for help I'm doing something very wrong #That's all just my two cents though idk #I'm just frustrated

[sashannarcy]

ultimately Sashanne truthers did win. was it explicitly confirmed canon? no. but I think Sasha being bisexual says a HELL of a lot about WHY she acted the way she did towards Anne

#you have this beautiful tragic arc that's all about a character being unhealthily devoted to their best friend #they see themself as her protector but they also NEED her #and that desperation results in a major breach of trust to the point where things between them feel unable to be fixed #but then. THEN they WORK on themself. they grow they change they realize their devotion was unhealthy #and she comes back. and she's more than willing to give them a second chance bc oh god she missed them she's just glad they're alive #and then this arc resolves itself in show through an 'ending' in which they're still extremely devoted to her but healthily this time #and now we have canon confirmation that sasha's attracted to women. ur gonna look me in the eye and tell me their arc isn't meant to be #read as romantic? #I say this from the bottom of my heart bc I wholeheartedly believe the writers never intended for sasha's actions to be strictly platonic #they got away w what they could in a disney show #but like man. MAN #sasha waybright #sashanne #amphibia

hi i miss my cartoon muses

#on a rewatching/listening to old playlists kick while i drown in work and this is the result. oops JSKDJ #am i gonna do anything about that No i can’t even do shit where i have high muse but . spinnin in my head i GUESS #really wish i could use this kick to maybe finally watch amphibia or more of adventure time so i can watch f+c #but NO NEW MEDIA. ONLY REWATCH. #… that’s all i appeared to say i’m still on michael for the most part KDKFJ #just… my scrunklys <3 #✧ ooc

[rainestormes]

god I hate sasha being seen as good representation. as if the representantion isn't a tiny bi flag sticker that you'll miss if you even think about blinking. as if the ‘stay tuned’ on her sexuality doesn't strike anyone else as queerbaiting. as if amphibia doesn't have a disgusting homophobic caricature in it. great rep y'all

#srs WHY don't more ppl acknowledge the bs with mr x? #ohhhhhhh flamboyant gay man hunts down little children #and his femininity is always the butt of the joke #“all the fbi agents wear black and are stoic but MR X is loud and colorful and flirty! isn't it funny 7 yos watching ths?” #disney using that one shot of sasha's bi sticker in a pride post is rlly fitting considering it's the only time her sexuality is addressed #and c'mon the crew knew how big of a ship sashannarcy is #they knew what saying ’stay tuned’ on one of their sexualities would get ppl excited #amphibia critical #sol rambles #btw not upset that sashannarcy ISN't canon. I ship it but the show's about their friendship firsy and foremost #and it doesn't have to be anything else #the romance aspects can stay in the fandom for allI care #but come tf on mr braly

[ladylynse]

Something interesting to take note of in The Owl House’s final scene is how it both parallels and contrasts Amphibia’s.

For example, Luz states “it will be nice to see everyone after so long” is a lot like the Future Scene in Amphibia… which then gets contrasted by Camilla’s comment “you just saw them last week”

Not to mention, the Trio Battles gave me similar vibes.

You saying this just makes me want to rewatch both, something I sadly do not have time for at the moment but will try to plan for the future, but I certainly can see some parallels in how it wrapped up.

Edit: Weeks later, I come back and realize that where I'd initially watched this cut out the whole resolution at the end, pretty much chopping it off shortly after the credits started, and it's so much better when you take the ending as a whole. Also some posts I've been seeing make a lot more sense now; I'd been wondering where some of this stuff was coming from.

#toh spoilers #the owl house #amphibia #toh #parallels #asks #ladylynse #I sat on this when I got it thinking I could come up with something to actually say in response beyond 'ooh yes isn't it cool???' #but it turns out that I have hit that point where I am just tired and thinking and writing and stuff is beyond me right now #I am sorry #I remember having a thought about a parallel at the time and now it is gone #but yes parallels fun love them #me to my brain when I'm awake and coherent: #gimme all the comparisons so I have crossover fodder in case you ever decide I have to write a crossover #connections like this are bridges between fandoms imo #just because they aren't solid like the newspaper clipping doesn't mean you can't still play off them

[thebuttsmcgee]

Unfortunately there's a death battle cast going on about Luz vs Anne

and ya know what

I will accept that ONLY under 1 condition.

If it's the grown up versions of both characters. No titan power up, no calamity box power up, no palismen, no tennis racket, just them and their 9 to 5 job fatigue and aching backs and most likely chill aura to the point they don't wanna actually fight for real cause that's stupid.

They're literally just some guys now (albeit Luz has a brand new Titan language to learn, and still has Stringbean but still).

Either that or give Anne a palisman.

Or let them duke it out in a fighting game (Smash probs but I think MK and SF would also be viable options. No Mario Kart or Party tho or there actually WILL be bloodshed)

#The Owl House #the owl house spoilers #toh spoilers #owl house spoilers #Amphibia #TOH #Owl House #Luz Noceda #Anne Boonchuy #death battle is cool whenever theyre not saying 'and this is all for a fact!!! #we did the calculations of when glup shitto did a quartzillion alpha feat divided by the smorgasbordillion feat done by dixsucker #and that shows that they have planet busting capabilities and that their speed is a billion light years!' god. #this is why Tumblr polls have slightly less veracity than db comments. cause they know its just a poll and not the creators saying 'this is #OBJECTIVELY the truth!!!! cause I used fictional stupid shit and real life stuff to make it make sense(it doodn't btw)' #this just turned out to be me ranting about why I hate db. sorry. anyways Luz and Anne would probably date instead eat shit death battle

[dashiellqvverty]

are people like. aware that all the ships from kids cartoons currently winning in the femslash polls are like. canon as well as very central to their shows?? you don’t have to like cartoons to each their own but SOMETIMES the way people talk about them im like oh so you know nothing about these shows. i am saying this as someone who dislikes both lum.ity and c.honi (for very different reasons) like i have no stake in who wins that poll.

i am just like you know luz is Thee main character right?? you know catradora was the whole plot of the show right??? no they’re not good because they’re representation that alone is not enough to make something a good ship (see: lumi/ty but also ch/oni) they’re good because they’re like. interesting and fleshed out characters. catradora and lu/mity and korrasami and bubbline aren’t showing up in the top 100 because they’re frequent side pairings in m/m fics like none of those fandoms have m/m ships that even compare in popularity. like not that this isn’t a larger problem of femslash ships (and like the preference for sanitized couples Is A Thing as well 100%) but like that is not what’s happening Here

#amphibia too. every possible combination of the three girls was in the top 100 #there aren’t even guys to ship together really #again i’m only speaking for kids cartoons bc idk any of the animes in the current polls #and idk shit about genshin impact or whatever #anyway i saw a post earlier and it just felt like it was conflating a lot of things. that are all separately larger issues #but very few of them are relevant to this situation #and i am very interested in the larger subject of why wlw are more prevalent in kids cartoons specifically. like compared to mlm in cartoons #lu/mity is boring as hell though and absolutely fit into the ‘mash them into an archetype’ thing #but again it’s not like there are other more popular owl house ships #but like ‘this ship is better bc they have sex’ they are different shows for different audiences. one of those is not inherently better. #i don’t like catradora bc they’re uwu representation they’re like. more compelling than half the couples on that poll #i did my time in orphan black and the 100 fandom in high school #i HATE clexa they WISH they were catradora #r.txt #i don’t want to seem like i’m saying this stuff doesn’t matter i’m just like this is what’s prompting these conversations?? #all this for C/HONI??????

maybe it's just me but I don't mind that Grime doesn't have a prosthetic arm and it kinda feels fitting

#also it seems kinda.... wrong? for people to insist he should have some sort of replacement #his life aint stopping cuz he was disarmed bruh #or maybe he only uses one to play the harp #but other than that he is fine with the way he is now #im not here to accuse anyone of anything #i just want people to be more mindful about the things being said #and that you dont need all limbs to feel complete #that's all i wanna say #amphibia #amphibia spoilers #captain grime #grime amphibia #grime #leda speaking

[myname-isnia]

A really bad trait of mine is that I do a lot of things out of spite, including refusing stuff, especially when it comes to media.

Like, these past two days everyone around me was like "OMG NIMONA IS SOOOO GOOD YOU HAVE TO WATCH IT!!"

And you know what? I don't care. Now I'm not gonna watch it JUST because everyone is screaming about it

#doesn't help that no one can fucking market it properly #idk if market is the right word but whatever #like. all I've heard is 'there are gay people in it' 'its by ND Stevenson' and 'a character says it's hard being a girl' #we're not in the 2010s anymore you can't make people watch stuff just because it's queer #we have variety of queer media now it's not enough #i realise that it probably actually is a good movie and I'm missing out #but... I've had people tell me i HAD to watch things forever #marvel... star wars... lotr... #bnha amphibia good omens the maze runner #+ a lot of shows i can't even remember the names of that my friend would recommend to me by saying 'there are lesbians' #with no other context #look I've even watched arcane 8 months after it came out despite everyone yelling about it #lok four years after the finale she-ra six months before season 5 dropped toh after season 1 was over #getting me to watch stuff is nigh impossible #well a big part of it is my insane anxiety over watching or reading new things #I'd much rather go rebinge something I've seen a bajillion times before thank you very much

also  sasha  and  anne  this  episode  were  . . .  how  u  say  . . .  rather  . . .  fruity

#amphibia #i have a lot to say about how they kind of treated marcy (or didnt mention her at all) all of s3 but. #u know..............sashanne is growing on me
