#mr and mrs waybright

[thisbelongsto-nohbodys]

Several ppl have wanted to know what the calamity siblings relationship is with their grandparents Waybright/Wu so here's a quick sketchdump. I forgot Mrs Wu with Percy and Maddi so I'll do a follow up with them soon™, for now here's this:

Lily being Mrs Waybright's new dress-up doll now that Sasha and her step-kids (and likely new kids) are grown up was a silly idea, especially with her dressing Sasha's cat to match. 2. Percy knows better than to have a family member as an agent, especially with sketchy bussinessman Mr Waybright. 3. Even tho' Mr Wu and his bosses were happy about the budget being figured out, he made sure Maddi was nowhere near any of those papers again in case he might get in trouble for someone not from the company seeing them. 4. I could see Mrs Waybright having a rivalry and wouldn't be above using her grandkids to help her. 5. Look, while his daughter's art career worked out, he also knows that musicians/actors have just as hard of a time to make it big and want to make sure Percy is safe in the future. 6. Mrs Waybright and Percy being gossip buddies is too cute and funny to not draw.

Ok I need to know!

How about the parents in the "Battle for Amphibia AU"?

How much this is sad?

Since it's been 13 years without news. The police stopped the researches.

Each parents was devastated by the news. The Boonchuy's continue to believe their daughter is somewhere, hopefully fine and the whole thai community is ready to help them. But the thoughts she could be dead is dangerously growing in their head. Mrs Boonchuy started to have nightmares about it. The Waybright's, despite their love for Sasha, didn't go very well. Their divorced state got worse. One accused the others it's his fault if their daughter ran away. Since that, they separated for good and lose any contact they could. Now they live their live with their new partners.

For the Wu's, Marcy's father blamed himself for her daughter's runaway. They tried to search her but the time was against them. Despite shifting his new job as much as he can, he finally accepted it and moved out of state. However, with the new supply of money from his new job, Mr. Wu continue to finance research programs to hopefully find Marcy.

We tend to underestimate the little moments.  We remember the chaos.  The death-defying adventures.  The deaths themselves.  Those moments are memorable.  But the comfortable silence that we can share at the end of the day? The moments that tell me that everything is going to be alright when I can hold your hand in mind? I think those have made this all the more special.  Thank you for taking this journey with me.  Thank you for holding my hand.  Thank you for being here with me at the end of it all. Thank you.

Happy 2023, everyone!  I hope that it treats you well.  You deserve it, friend.

So, hey, finished my fan comic!  It's always nice to clean a slate when a new year rolls around.  Not that I'm not proud of this little project, but I'm also anxious to move back to my own intellectual property now that I've paid my dues to a show that seized my fancy.  In any case, I hope you got a kick out of it!  It sure increased my rep on Twitter, for whatever it's worth.

I'll be back soon with more original content.  It'll be a blast!  But meanwhile, remember, there are surely many people who aren't as cozy as some of us on this New Year's Day, and who likely don't have as much to look forward to.  Once more, I encourage you to give if you find it convenient to do so.  But in any case, may you and yours have ample reason and opportunity to celebrate.

Sasha's Parents

Allright, so thanks to the diary we finally got some definite info on Sasha's parents. Let's dissect it, and analyze how the divorce might have turned her into the person she is today.

According to Anne, Sasha's parents divorced when she was around four- or five-years-old. Her father remarried and doesn't seem to have had any other kids, while her mother has a long-term boyfriend who has kids of his own.

So what does this tell us? Well, the first thing we have to do is speculate which of Sasha's parents has custody of her, because knowing that, we can draw a lot of conclusions.

Personally, I am almost certain that it's her father, for reason i'll go into below.

Firstly, let's analyze the events of the divorce, before trying to figure out how the events of the series relates to the original plan the creators had to have an episode where Sasha reveals the full details of her backstory to Anne.

Mr and Mrs Waybright divorced when Sasha was 5 years old, but the implication we get from what little we know about the two people involved suggests that this wasn't simply a case of two people realizing things weren't working out... Because the implications seems to be that Mrs Waybright left her husband for another man... Who already had kids of his own, and who she very explicitly did not marry.

Why is this important? Because it explains everything we ever needed to know about Sasha's seething, burning desire to always be in control, and more importantly, on top.

Because in Sasha's 5 year old mind, seeing her mom leave her dad for another man, who already had a bunch of kids, while abandoning her, is tantamount to saying that she was worthless in her mother's eyes. She didn't measure up. Clearly her mom cared more about these kids than her... When in reality, it was the new boyfriend she actually cared about, not the kids. Neither the new ones... Or her own flesh and blood.

It also explains perfectly why Sasha's reaction to the Plantars "Stealing" Anne from her turned her downright murderous. In her mind it was basically history repeating itself again. Her losing someone she loved to another family she knew nothing about.

No wonder this girl hated the very concept of family.

Meanwhile, her dad married another woman, which which can safely assume was not a warm, loving relationship. More likely than not, whether this woman wanted to try and be a mother to Sasha, it's abundantly clear that that wasn't gonna happen. After the divorce, Sasha would have rejected any and all attempts at replacing her mother, and that stuck.

Her eternal quest to make Anne and Marcy happy is also explained by this. Sasha wants to make the people she loves happy. She wants them to like her, to appreciate her, to be rewarded with love and attention by people she loves and cares about.

But while this does explain a lot(Her control issues, her disdain for family, her non existent love for said family) there is still some things it does not explain, or at least there seems to be something more we aren't told.

So, let's put forth another question, to explain the things that a simple, if ugly divorce does not explain.

Was Sasha abused by her parents?

Throughout the series, Sasha continously says some extremely heavy lines, that though they fit perfectly with what is happening in the moment, all seem to be as a response to something else that happened previously in Sasha's life, that we just don't have the context for.

When Sasha hits her absolute lowest point, after having seemingly destroyed the only thing she truly cared about for Good and all, Sasha very deliberately refers to herself as belonging in the Trash, and that it's all someone like her deserves, in a tone that suggests she is accepting something she felt deep in her heart was innevitable.

That could be her being overly dramatic... But it could be something else.

Like she had been told that this was all she amounted to, a worthless brat who no one would love, who belonged in the trash.

Not while Anne and Marcy are getting by withouth me.

This line is pretty clear in it's meaning, but again, the way it's said and worded suggests it's referencing something someone else said at some point.

Hey anne... Maybe you're better off without me.

Sasha's famous line when she decides to kill herself is an important one, and one where she proves that she is willing to lay down her life for anne if it comes to that.

But knowing the circumstances with her parents divorce, it's hard not to read more into it. That Sasha had a genuine fear that her mother didn't just leave her, but that she was better off withouth her.

That could be projecting... but it doesn't have to be. Sasha could have heard it straight from the horse's mouth.

End of discussion

This one is absolutely referencing a line. This is a line Sasha uses to shut down any arguments Anne has when Sasha wants the discussion to end.

But that isn't something kids tend to learn on their own. They learn that by example. By mimicking others.

So before going into speculation of how Sasha may or may not have been abused, lets finish by pointing out the biggest argument for it.

The incredibly unsettling, and unnatural way Sasha does not care about her Parents in any way.

Sasha makes it abundantly clear throughout the entire series that she does not care about her parents. At all. Her relationship with them isn't a complicated one. It's nonexistent. As far as she cares, it does not exist.

That is incredibly unnatural behavior from a child. Even the most abused, or neglected of children will usually have some form of natural attachment to their parents, or parental figures. It's simply the way human beings are made.

It takes A LOT to break that bond completely, even for an adult.

But Sasha isn't an adult. She is a child. And yet her bond to her parents is as far as she is concerned for most of the series, broken beyond any repair.

And she doesn't care to try and fix it. That all on it's own speaks volumes of just how BAD her relationship with her folks are.

So, let's get to speculating on what exactly the kind of abuse Sasha might have gone through with her parents, because there is probably two very distinct kinds from each of her parents.

Of the two, I would guess that if she was abused, the most visceral part came from her mom.

Most of Sasha's biggest issues are clearly a result of her mother leaving her, and so this would make sense.

So, what sort of abuse might Sasha have suffered at the hands of her mother that broke her down so badly, given the woman left her behind, and so probably didn't interact with her much beyond this?

If i had to guess, all of it probably stems for what happened during the divorce, where her mom essentially put all her cards on the table, and let her real feelings be put on full display.

And there are several reasons her mom might have had to lash out at her own child. It could be as simple as the fact she used Sasha to hurt her now ex-husband. Rubbing in that he was stuck with her now.

It could be that sasha was an unplanned child that she didn't want, and had secretly resented for all five years of her life.

She may have been pressured into having her by her Mr Waybright, and now that she no longer had to even try to make him happy, she made it abundantly clear how much she never wanted the damned child he put in her.

Or she could flat out not have liked Sasha, based solely on her personality.

Whatever the reasons, it's clear that the events of the divorce shattered Sasha to her core, and would be essential into forming her into the person she was at the start of the series.

Having one of the people that Sasha(Who is a person who forms STRONG attachments) loves more than any other, turn on her completely, and reveal she always hated her would probably have done the trick.

Now, let's move on to Mr Waybright.

I am very certain that Sasha probably learned the "End. Of. Discussion." From him, as their relationship seems to have been a different kind of breakdown.

Namely that he seems to have given up on Sasha, giving her a level of personal control over her life that is downright irresponsible, letting her throw parties on the regular, seemingly giving her free access to cash as she needs it, and having failed to instill any discipline into his kid.

These are all classic symptoms of a relationship where the parent has given up, and simply gives the kid what they want so they don't have to deal with them.

But was this always the case?

The simple fact is, that with what we know of Mrs Waybright, the extreme destruction of her relationship with Sasha makes sense. There are details one has to speculate on, but there is a clear line to follow from point A to B.

Not so with Mr Waybright.

We know where they ended up, the turning point, but not the steps between.

The only thing we have to go on, Is that amongst her many, many unusual traits for someone so young, Sasha has a much older person's view on discipline. Namely she does not respond to it, because she does not respect the person delivering it, be they teachers or Grime.

It does not take a genius to figure out that this probably stems from her relationship with her father.

The simplest, and most likely explanation is that Mr Waybright attempts at parenting probably involved a lot of discipline, and attempts to instill Sasha with a sense dread at a phrace with the meaning of "This conversation is over".

In this he obviously failed, Because for whatever reason(probably something that happened during the divorce) Sasha does not respect him... But Sasha in turn seems to have learned this very kind of tactic herself from him.

Mr Waybright thusly seems to have had more of a sense of familial obligation to Sasha... At least trying to instill her with something resembling discipline... Until finally just giving up on her all together and just letting her do as she pleased.

All in all whether there was actual abuse involved, or just a child's entire world crumbling due to a very ugly divorce, I really, really wish we'd gotten Sasha's backstory episode.

I've been meaning to do some more stuff with Mr and Mrs Wu/Waybright but couldn't find time to do a full comic so I did some sketchdumps of them and their daughters post-canon, in-between the finale and the 10-year timeskip. Not all designs are 100%.

Wu: 1. Mr Wu wanting to learn more about his daughter after she returned from Amphibia had...consequences... 2. Mrs Wu tried so hard to get Marcy to forget Sashanne but those early days were awkward. 3.Mayor Wu of Hopkinton, Massachusetts. 4. Mrs. Wu distain for Sashanne persisted for a long time. 5. Mayor Wu meeting Mayor McGee is always a fun idea. 6. Mr Wu also deciding to take time for his daughter no matter how busy he was (to a point). 7. Headcanon that Mrs Wu taught Marcy to use coverup for her face scar, both to make her face back to before Amphibia but also so ppl won't ask how she got it.

Waybright: 1. Sasha and her step-siblings (?) from her mom's long-time boyfriend who already had kids, is likely why Sasha didn't like Sprig for the longest time, she knew how annoying siblings are. They know about Sasha's crush on Anne and tease her endlessly 2. It took a while for Sasha to get rid of all of her hidden daggers. 3. Mrs Waybright's love of Sasha's sphinx cat is such a funny idea to me. 4. We can probably also assume that Sasha has at least 1 half-sibling. 5. Mr Waybright approves of Anne. 6. Sasha will not jeopardize her license for her scumbag dad. 7. Early post-Amphibia talk between Sasha and Mr Waybright about his new wife. 8. Sasha will do something about her scars Mrs Waybright...she'll cover them with tattoos.

(This is also for when I post my comics on DA, I hopefully won't get a bunch of confused comments wondering about certain things that I already explained here or made incorrect quotes about)

[papyjr13]

Here is the big picture, again with a canon and headcanon version.

I spend a whole month to prepare that one. With it, I want to thanks the Amphibia fandom. It's been only two months since I join them but I already found some new friends.

Thank you all !

Thank you Amphibia !

Happy Holidays to everyone !!
