all three seasons of amphibia: continually establish that sasha and anne are incredibly similar people with almost identical personalities, and their greatest differences stem from external factors such as their respective home lives/race/communities, by constantly paralleling them (showing them saying and doing the same things, having the same fears, interests, priorities, wielding the same weapon, etc.) and impressing to the audience that they could easily be led down the same or different roads depending on the people around them and the resources they are given, which is why back home sasha clings to anne as a support system to replace her shitty homelife and in turn sasha uses her privilege to protect anne from racist bullies at school, why marcy refers to them as "sashanne" and sees them as a single entity rather than two separate people, why they both consider each other their other half and feel that their own identity and selfhood are fractured when the other prioritizes something that isn't them, and, crucially, why they both grow to become the best versions of themselves while in wartwood
frog show fans when an episode establishes that marcy feels like the odd one out in their friend group even though anne literally referred to sasha as her "best friend since kindergarten" (when they first met) back in s1 before marcy was even a character: mon dieu! sacre bleu! i cannot believe those horrible evil traitors sasha and anne would do such a cruel thing to me i mean marcy!!!!! how DARE these popular jocks have the audacity to be friends with a lame nerd and look out for her and invite her to all their slumber parties and love and support her and NOT SIT THROUGH THE ENTIRE DIRECTORS CUT BOXSET OF THE LORD OF THE RINGS MOVIES!!!!! HOWEVER could they be so CRUEL!!!!!!!!
