The text saying duration of the time skip was cut out in the final version, so it could’ve been many years. However there is this storyboard:
Btw they used “several months later” when 5 months had passed once (in True Colors), so I assume it’d be around that
Sprig is literally older than me now what the fuck
WAIT since the frobots seem to be capable of free will… Imagine Darcy caught a butler bot sabotaging her and it said, “have fun with that, flip phone!” in its little fucking accent before flying out a window. She stood there speechless for a second then spluttered and ran over to the ledge to shout, “WELL, YOU DON’T EVEN KNOW WHAT THAT IS!!” She grumbled then turned to stomp out of the room but spun back around and quickly added, “WALL-E!!!!!” in the most wrathful tone possible.
I’ve never seen anyone else write, draw, or even mention this concept so I’ve got a hot take for y’all:
Darcy comes up with all sorts of fun derogatory names to call their frobots.
Like imagine one can’t find something they told it to grab for them and they scream, “IT’S RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOUR FACE, YA WAFFLE IRON!!”
Or a bot bumps against them in the hall and they shove it out of the way and say “Watch it, roomba!”
Or a couple are trying to lift something and Darcy sighs and goes, “You pathetic crockpots, PUT YOUR BACKS INTO IT!!”
It’s even in character imo. I mean Darcy has Marcy’s memories from Earth so they’d still know plenty of household appliances to compare some bots to hehe.
Ok but one thing that bothered me is Marcy’s relationship with the newts
Anne earns the frogs respect and becomes a hero.
Sasha proves her use to the toads, and while most of them leave, grime, Percy, and Braddock stay
Marcy does everything she can for the newts, and they forget about her the moment she gets stabbed.
Like what gives? Why are the newts so uncaring towards their hero? Some fans say that she spent so much time having adventures that she didn’t get to know them, but we know that isn’t true with how much she tries to befriend others(and even if she didn’t, certainly someone would have cared out of gratitude). So instead, it comes off as the newts being self serving jerks, and Marcy shouldn’t have even tried to help them.
Oh no no they didn’t forget about her!! Well they probably did for a bit but, after they decided to turn on the king, they then considered breaking her out JUST so the physically and emotionally scarred 13 year old could help them outsmart him. Not only did the thought of a rescue attempt only cross their minds for selfish reasons, but Yunan immediately tried to shoot the idea down. She wanted to abandon Marcy and leave her terribly injured in the hands of a “mad king” just because she overheard ONE mistake she made when she felt like her whole world was falling apart and wasn’t thinking.
I can see Marcy maybe not having a whole lot of personal conversations with Olivia or Yunan, but she was someone they knew — a CHILD at that — and had good experiences with. Yet they would’ve left her for dead if Olivia didn’t know Marcy once beat Andrias at a board game, meaning there was a chance she could outsmart him for them.
I do like Olivia and Yunan, honestly, and am deciding to think that the neglect was more from the writers rather than them as genuine characters, but it just makes me so sad cuz they could’ve cared a LITTLE BIT without affecting character arcs ;-;
As much as I love angst, Marcy deserves better than this shit that lowkey just makes the two newts just seem like bad people and doesn’t even serve the plot :<
Edit: WHOOPS I got so caught up in my rage that I didn’t even realize you meant the newts in general, not just two of the ones she personally knew XD. BUT UH I can sorta excuse everyone else (except like the Triple B ig) cuz she was up in a flying castle that only a handful of people had access to lol.
Imma just plop this here,,,
In Marcy’s journal, it’s revealed that the girls got a working portal and they can go back to amphibia
Really? Does anyone have pictures of this? I don't have the money to buy the book, so any info I get about it is second hand.
Has this been done

Here’s a screenshot redraw except I was too lazy to do a decent background XD
reblog and put in the tags what comes up when you type "i want"
Greetings, frog Tumblr! Welcome to my impulsive, salt-induced Amphibia rant!!
This where I’m gonna ramble about Anne’s nonchalance and near indifference towards Marcy’s whole situation despite, not only supposedly wielding the “heart” gem (which embodies empathy, selflessness, and responsibility), but also the fact that she has been friends with Marcy since before kindergarten and has previously been very protective of her.
So STRAP IN, frogs, newts, toads, and hummuses alike cuz HERE WE GO

Alrighty, we’ll start with Anne’s relationship with Marcy in “Marcy at the Gates”!!
When Marcy is about to jump in and save Sprig from the barbariant queen, Anne stops her and says she can do it herself. Marcy argues and asks about why she won’t let her go before Anne shouts, “Because I just got you back, okay?!” She then adds:
So worried and sensitive, right? Well, let’s move onto “True Colors” :)
-
When Sprig is dropped by Andrias, Anne is so overcome by grief and rage that she actually activates her powers for the first time. She didn’t even see him hit the ground, yet still seems broken by the perceived loss.
However, when Marcy, her life-long friend, gets a giant flaming sword through the chest, uses what she thought would be her last breath to apologize, and collapses lifelessly to the floor, Anne simply shouts her name then basically goes, “Oh, I’m home now. Anyways-”
She has the shiny eyes here but doesn’t shed even a single tear until “All In” after Marcy is freed. Like, girl, you watched the friend that you’ve probably know longer than anyone except your own parents get brutally murdered 5 feet in front of you. How are you fine???
Of course it’s understandable for Anne to feel betrayed by Marcy after her truth is revealed. After all, she’s been trapped away from her home and family for 5 months and near-death experiences have become a worryingly routine thing for her in Amphibia.
The thing is that, with Sasha, despite her trying to knowingly and intentionally kill Hop Pop (and at one point Sprig), Anne still later said that “Sasha and I might be going through a rough patch, but that doesn’t mean I don’t care about her” (S2 E6). Plus, after Sasha showed a little remorse then let go of her hand at Toad Tower, letting herself plummet so her friend could get away, Anne was sobbing just a minute later. She even saw Grime catch her so she knew Sasha was going to be okay.
The most logical conclusion Anne should’ve come to after going through that portal was that Marcy was dead. Yet, we’ve seen her get far more worked up about someone that, not only also betrayed her, but was clearly saved and alive. And, in earlier episodes, Anne seemed so much closer to and more protective of Marcy than Sasha… So I’m honestly confused.
-
As far as season 3 episodes 1-15, I wanna believe that Anne was simply in denial and didn’t want to bring it up, but it’s stuff like her being “stabbed” by the toy flame sword (in “Escape to Amphibia”) and simply laughing that make it hard for me to genuinely think that. When I just saw that happen through a screen I froze and stopped breathing for a second and it took me a bit to compose myself after. But Anne lived through both the actual event and the reminder yet didn’t react?
Also when Sasha passingly mentioned that Marcy was still alive, just captured, Anne simply sighed and said “thank goodness” before changing the topic. Like????
-
Now for “The Beginning of the End” :D
When first faced with Darcy, Anne (and Sasha kinda, but her reaction is more expected/normal for her tbh and imma not focus on her here anyway) was initially confused but, once she knew the jist of what was happening, she was just angry. She didn’t take a second to mourn or feel bad for her friend and skipped straight to getting mad. I was expecting some sort of guilt for not getting there earlier and maybe even an attempt at an “I know you’re in there!” speech (I wouldn’t want it to work but I feel like Anne would’ve been one to try that), but guess not.
Insert text “Yeah, we gay. Keep scrolling.”

BUT THERE IS HOPE!! Marcy’s Journal is gonna have a section written by S3 Anne, so we might get some Annegst >:3. I doubt they can entirely salvage this with just a book (the show is the great majority of the story, after all), but something is better than nothing lol.
POV: you are Caima Songbird (and perhaps Val)
These are @polyhexian’s Golden Guard OCs: Jasper, Will, and Miles (ft. Hunter ofc)!!!! They each have fics which have been rotating around in my brain all week dhdhbsns
Their account seems deactivated, so I’ll add a screenshot of the post below:
I made a ✨second chapter✨ for my fic about Vee being salty with Hunter
Yeet
Ok but this is funny cuz I’d totally call Darcy an “ugly piece of shit” but in an affectionate way. Like a “they’re such a horrendous cockroach creature and I love them for that” kinda thing.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY UGLY /pos
Heyo!! My pronouns are she/they and I like to write and shitpost :Pxenia12.carrd.co
