Marcy Wu - Blog Posts

"I did it for you" has gotta be my favorite form of betrayal. You gave me a gift I never asked for, and now I have to look around at the world you destroyed with the knowledge that it was gift wrapped and addressed to me.

Marcy's therapy animal - so wish we could've seen her interact with the kill-a-moth kittens

Amphibia x Witch Hat Atelier crossover!!

anne and marcy are witches and sasha is a human noble :)

marcy doesn't choose a mentor until she meets andrias, who soon convinces her to join the brimhats

They deserve all the happiness

Thank you for this 💙💚❤️

just them happy

some fluffy Sasha 

more of the au

I love how at this point whenever I see pink green and blue together anywhere my mind instantly goes "SASHANARCY"

Its like an amphibia version of this gif

three idiots in love

A timeline where, after moving to Connecticut, Marcy becomes close friends with Luz and at some point they both get hired to work as Glitch Techs.

As a person who is obsessed with this trio and also with wings, it is beautiful and awesome and thank you for this

may i present to you my winged au please i am in love with this for no reason so if you couldn't tell sasha is a heron, anne is a dragonfly, and marcy is a personafication of metamorphosis

*sprinkles some angsty lore*

sasha doodles but i'm still figuring her out so...yeah i think i'll just draw more of sasha later and post separately

andrias had to get rid of marcy's wings, but darcy asked for synthetic monarch butterfly wings(which marcy really hated afterwards)

calamity powers anne can sort of use her wings now and they get a pretty pattern (and at the second temple her wings got the same pattern from frost)

sorry for not much info!! i have some more but i am very lazy to write things sorreyyy... :")

Read that line somewhere and immediately thought of them

I am all about giving Marcy cats and quality time with (old and new) friends and therapy to help her deal with things but its good to see her done being nice and instead looking for revenge once in a while.

In other words: Love it 💚🔥

@froggythesculptor and I have been working on an animatic for our evil Marcy AU, so here’s a sneak peak of what we got so far!! We’re about halfway done eheheheh

I mostly line, color, and edit while Froggy storyboards and sketches!!

Also, the animatic focuses on chapters 4-5 of our fic:

(I know I haven’t updated in ages but I SWEAR I’m working on it, I posted part of ch6 here on Tumblr XD)

some new amphibia valentine’s day cards! now with more pain :D !!!

[individuals under the cut]

I still have that scene living rent-free in my head - in s3a Sprig wakes up at night and goes to the kitchen to drink some water and sees Anne there, sitting on the floor and crying bc its Marcy's birthday and she can't be sure if her friend is alive. And even if she feels that she is, Anne knows that Marcy is still in danger and probably unhappy or hurting.

And she just wants her best friend to be there - so they can hug and go get red velvet cake and bubble tea to celebrate Marcy's birthday.

Marcy is one of those characters who can steal the show from the main characters in less than a instant.

T h i s

This exactly

And this part: "the neglect was more from the writers than them as genuine character" - yes. There are a lot of things about her story where I choose to take that approach. Somewhere in my head there is a timeline where it all went a little differently cuz Marcy was honestly treated so unfairly by canon it hurts.

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.

Marluz invading my brain rn

AU where Marcy and Luz meet when Marcy moves (to Connecticut obvi). Marcy’s dejected because she just got ripped away from her BFFs, then she meets Luz and just blossoms again as their friendship grows. The two share their interests with one another and geek out, and they make sure to listen to one another when the other person is infodumping. Sleepovers eternal, DND campaigns, and the two show affection via touch like silly baps and boops and HUGS!! They are the ultimate soft nerd duo imma cry

*Bangs my fists on the table* BEAUTIFUL

sunshine + sunshine protector 💕☀

Aaaaaa I love it so much 💚

You know I like the possession Marcy Au like anyone else but I haven’t seen a lot of comedic takes on it where Marcy either befriends or info dumps so hard that the ghost thing just gets heck in yeeted from her body

Me

Marcy and Sash really need that love they get from the fandom...

Y e s

I wish she was more than just a girl locked in a room in the storyline with the Core. Id like to see more of her interactions with them. See the fascination vs responsibility conflict. I like the sidekick idea. She could be their guy on the inside. Could even leave them clues or sth. There were some really cool theories about her relationship with the Core during the hiatus. I want THAT.

I genuinely think s3 needed to be longer. Some things felt rushed, and it was just sad bc I saw real potential in them. Maybe if they had had more time they could have gone deeper with this storyline and gave Marcy (and Darcy) more screen time.

Also, I feel like s3 made it seem like she wasn't as heroic as Anne and Sasha. But the girl has got a statue in Newtopia and a no-fail mission record. She is awesome okay? She's a fighter. I am so excited to read about her adventures in the journal!

Still, I am glad that at least defeating Darcy wasn't the final final battle. That we got to see Marcy be awesome in her calamity form before the end of the show. If not for that, the ending would probably have been really dissapointing for Marcy fans.

I just came to a horrible realization. Marcy in season three was a Damsel in Distress.

Seriously think about it: aside from the finale, her only purpose was to sit around and wait to be rescued. Yes it would have been necessary to a certain extent no matter what, with the whole "being stabbed" business, but then they had to go ahead with that idiotic possession subplot and make Darcy an endgame villain. Marcy's brief mental world subplot in All In didn't even give us one of those "fighting the illusion from inside your mind" plots: she just resigned herself to her fate and hoped her girls would save her.

There's a very good reason the Damsel in Distress has fallen out of favor in recent years. Aside from the underlying chauvinism, a Damsel in Distress usually isn't a character so much as a lazy plot device, a prize for the hero to win after they've slain the dragon or killed the evil wizard or whatever.

The only thing worse than creating a character whose sole purpose is to be a Damsel in Distress is making an established character into a Damsel in Distress. And they did it to Marcy: a deep, complex character who was used amazingly in season two. They introduced Marcy as a deliberate foil to Sasha, gave us several episodes to get to know and love her, then dropped that massive bombshell in True Colors.

And how did they follow up that absolutely brilliant storytelling? They made Marcy into a fucking Damsel in Distress, whose only purpose for 90% of season three was to sit around and wait to be rescued. And for some goddamn reason they had to wait until the penultimate episode to do so, leaving no time for Marcy to interact with her best friends or truly be involved in the story.

Had to combine these two at some point. 🦉🐸

Anne as a wild witch known as The Frog Lady, Sasha as the head of the abomination coven and Marcy as the Emperor's adopted daughter.

Happy Marcanne

(Psst... I gave Marcy a Steven Universe earring. It is barely visible but I rewatched the movie this week and wanted to include it bc she is totally a fan imo)

Finally, sb said it

I headcanon Marcy as having an older brother or smth but… Does anyone else find it kinda weird how so many cartoon protagonists don’t have siblings? Or at least they either have no siblings or their sibling goes on the whole ass journey with them (which even that is uncommon).

Where’s the little sister going “WOAH THAT’S AWESOME” about Andrias’s flame sword while Marcy’s trying to explain how she got stabbed? Where’s the big brother wishing he was there to see his sibling fall down a flight of stairs? Where’s the twin being jealous that their sister is suddenly a world-saving hero? JUST GIMME SIBLINGS-

Oh my frog this is so cool 💜

Did my very best to make this as concise and clear as I possibly could. In hopes for you guys to enjoy!

There are still so many things I wanted to add to lore dump but I’ll list them here.

-pre-Newtopia’s golden age. There were older civilisations that existed.

- There are many more temples out there.

-Newts, Frogs and Toads all have their own folktales and myths.

Marcy and her huge dog bc she deserves the world and doggo hugs are a great beginning 💚
