IT WAS EXTREMELY UPSETTING DRAWING HER BACKWARDS FOR THIS

I LOVE SWAP AUs SO MUCH

This isn’t Gregory and Cassie’s first meet in FNAF..

[metroxlr]

don't give up on me yet - good ending

in my head, greg went to go find DJMM and tried to reboot the big guy to help him clear a path while he tracks down where cassie is underground (i turned "cassie never finding the big guy in the dlc" a set up in my head) while Vanessa tried activating the security nodes to get mxes back online again

I wanted freddy's claims that DJMM "is a friend" to pay off somewhere

oh and also freddy's head stays with Vanessa, but she connected him online to have access to the maps so he can help guide greg and keep in contact through the fazwatch

Well, here it is folks...

After a delay last year, The Art of Amphibia was finally made available and my pre-ordered copy arrived just today right on the dot.

Obviously I haven't read it all through just yet, so don't expect this to be a proper review or anything.

Instead I will list off it's Table of Contents, and some words that I found interesting

.Forword by Brenda Song, The Voice of Anne (I actually did read this one first, and Song's words on her experience with Amphibia was short, but very beautiful. I can tell she actually loves this character and wasn't just "in it for a paycheck." Her opening quote was: "Amphibia Changed My Life!")

.The Amphibia That Never Was (AKA "Amphibiland". You better believe I looked at this chapter first!")

.100 Sprigs (OH GOD! but seriously, it's just pages showing several different designs made of Sprig. But the title alone sounds like it couldn't been a funny episode of Sprig cloning himself like something out of Dexter's Laboratory.)

.Anne Boonchuy

.The Plantars

.The Townies of Wartwood

.Sasha Waybright

.Captain Grime

.General Yunan (no joke, I keep getting her name wrong. Sometimes I refer to her as "Yuan")

.Marcy Wu

.King Andrias

.Mr & Mrs. Boonchuy

.The Core

.Darcy

.Crew Artwork (Bet this one will be fun!)

And now for an overview on the "Amphibiland" phase of the show's development.

No joke, initially Matt Braly's vision for Amphibia wouldn't ended up becoming no different from The Owl House, with a mood and look akin to "The Dark Crystal", "The Labyrinth" and "The Hobbit."

a Dark Fantasy in every sense of the world where Anne's introduction was her living in a cave surrounded by animal bones (that she presumably killed and ate).

There was no town, either. No Wartwood. Anne (whose personality wouldn't been more like Pacifica Northwest) would've been adopted by a frog family (The Plantars) living on a farm in the middle of a swamp (think Yoda on Dagobah. That is how Matt described it.)

The Toad Warriors were more dangerous, too.

There were Magic Swords, Magic Maps and "dead bodies."

If you thought The Owl House could be a Bizarre Hellscape, Amphibiland wouldn't made the Boiling Isles feel like Disneyland.

And, to quote Matt Braly on how Disney felt:

"Everybody loves the idea of a girl stuck in a frog world... they just don't like what you've done with it."

While I can kinda get where Disney is coming from, I would be lying if I said I didn't want to see "Amphiland Uncut" released at some point (even as an indie title separate from Disney.)

I'd watch a whole movie about the Amphibia that never was (even though I still like what we got instead. Both versions of merit.)

All I can say now is that...Please, Disney PLEASE release an "Art of The Owl House" next!

If any show deserves a book detailing scrapped concepts and artwork, it is THAT one.

I've had this on my mind since as far back as when Amphibia was still on television when I listened to my old CD of the Pixar's Cars Soundtrack, and found that the lyrics of "When You Find Yourself" by Brad Paisley to nearly match Anne Boonchuy's personal character arc.

So I decided to make this "Song Quote Motivational" as a sort of Alternate Anne's Theme.

Some may find this debatable, but I think it works (especially in the context of my own Owlphibia fanworks.)

just two Shooting Stars...

so it's happened

Alright so, Rebecca Sugar drew some sketches/released some storyboard stuff that never made it into the show and—-I love them??

I mean overdramatic people on twitter are being dramatic but those with rational and normal brains are either laughing at the former or, like me, enjoying how messy this would be.

Messy in the best of ways cause the journey to them making up fully in the show was rough enough but this??

This is a whole next step that I would be absolutely down for. Simply for the fact that these two deserve MAJOR happiness after what’s happened in their loves. ESPECIALLY when it comes to Rose Quartz/Pink Diamond.

Hilariously this makes Pearls reaction to the Greg/Steven Fusion all the funnier.

Reminder that the writers of Amphibia did not rip-off Dragon Ball. They were just inspired by it.
