#which are all things sasha dislikes about themself and wants to change and is actively WORKING to change

[glitchydyke]

hi mj i'm very intrigued by core sasha please feel free to ramble about core sasha if you'd like :] !

HI GUS <333

OKAY SO CORE SASHA. MAKES ME INSANE. u know i love sasha and i love putting my faves thru unimaginable torture <33

the way it would happen would either b your typical role swap where sasha ends up in newtopia instead of toad tower OR the way i think of it usually is everything happens like canon up to the end of s2 but when the core sees sasha betray anne and marcy in an attempt to take over amphibia it changes its mind and wants him instead !!

marcy is still stabbed and anne still leaves in true colours but instead of grime and sasha escaping, they’re captured and kept prisoner. eventually andrias kinda just. lets marcy go. as in dumps them in the middle of nowhere, still entirely unconscious and actively dying from being STABBED. bc now that the core wants sasha he has no more use for them but still can’t bring himself to actually kill them :[ so he just throws them out n lies to the core abt it. marcy does in fact not die n makes their way to wartwood even w all their injuries bc they are NOT dying w out apologising to anne and sasha thank u very much. they eventually end up starting the rebellion like sasha does !!

meanwhile sasha is kept in captivity and pretty much just… studied by andrias and the core. she’s in the highest security prison and can’t break out but that doesn’t stop her repeatedly trying over and over until she’s exhausted. she refuses food and drink and ends up punching the wall so much her knuckles are perpetually covered in blood. she spends her days rehearsing what she’s going to say to anne and marcy when (if) she sees them again, bc she’s sorry, she wants to be better, she knows she fucked up. she wants to make it right. she loves them

meanwhile the core admires sasha’s determination, and although he’s not as booksmart as marcy is, the core has seen the manipulation and deceit and LOVES it. it’s officially chosen him as its host. yunan and olivia still try to save sasha and grime, and they get close! they break grime out, and find sasha just in time to see the helmet lock onto his head, to see him writing and screaming in agony, spitting out curses towards andrias with their last moments of consciousness.

and dasha rises :]

the castle is almost IMMEDIATELY turned into an armoury, with more weapons than andrias even knew they had, and grime is fitted with a mind control collar along with yunan and olivia.

when the final battle arrives, anne and marcy and the plantars enter the castle and go straight to the dungeons, expecting to find sasha tired and bruised but full of fire and ready to fight. he isn’t there. forced to continue their plan without him, they go to find the music box, free grime and yunan and olivia, and the hallway conversation anne has with sasha happens between her and marcy instead! we can forgive sasha; i forgave you, we’re still friends even though we both changed. i know she betrayed us. we can make things better.

the scene of the girls discovering darcy still happens, with dasha this time, and a twisted version of “hey, girlfriends” that breaks anne and marcy’s hearts in two.

sasha’s fantasy world is… what it used to be like on earth. her, anne, and marcy. having sleepovers, playing pranks, sasha in control and planning each day for them for endless fun. they don’t realise anything is wrong, for a while. this is happy. they’re with their friends, doing things they love. it’s nice. it’s wrong. anne and marcy agree to one too many things, cut one too many classes, and sasha stops. this isn’t right. anne doesn’t obey her anymore. marcy is gone now. sasha doesn’t want this anymore. this isn’t the friendship they want, and this isn’t the friendship they have. they want the real anne, the real marcy, and they don’t want total control. they’ve grown. they’ve changed. they have. right?

in the real world, anne fights andrias, and marcy fights dasha, desperately pleading with sasha to come back, please come back, this isn’t the adventure i wanted, i’m sorry, can you hear me, sasha, i’m sorry. it doesn’t work. dasha doesn’t flinch, only talking long enough to remind marcy of the betrayal they made, the danger they’ve put their friends in, and sasha stabs marcy in the exact same place andrias stabbed them, opening old wounds and taking them down.

anne returns from her fight w andrias to see marcy on the floor, desperately trying to plug the hole in their chest, and dasha standing above them, doing its token villain monologue. about how they shouldn’t even care, sasha isn’t their friend, sasha was never their friend. sasha was only ever toxic, an abuser, a terrible person who’s been playing them from day one. she’ll never change. she betrayed you. she hates you. you’re only with her to serve, so stay down and serve.

it’s not true. anne and marcy know. they saw sasha’s fear when marcy was stabbed and anne fell through the portal. they saw her clutching grime, screaming about how marcy can’t die, she has to apologise, she has to make things right again, anne can’t leave, marcy can’t leave, please don’t leave me.

marcy stands. anne’s hair glows. an arrow flies through the cord connected to the helmet, and a glowing blue fist lands a hit on the centre glowing eye. the cord snaps, the helmet shatters, and sasha falls to the ground.

unconscious, barely breathing, green blood dripping from the metal helmet shard stuck in their eye.

they’re held in their friends arms, and when they begin to wake up, a pain shoots through their head and they scream. their hand reaches up to find cold metal where their eye should be, pushing the sharp point in further, and they almost pass out again. but marcy’s arms around them, anne’s hand in their hair, grounds them a little. they look up with their one working eye, seeing tears and thankful smiles, and the apologies happen. they’re difficult to get out, through the agonising pain that refuses to stop, but sasha apologises and marcy apologises and anne explains. and they’re okay. they’ll be okay.

sasha is hastily patched up by olivia, with assistance from grime’s knowledge of injuries and maddie’s knowledge of magic. their eye is gone, and their blood is still green (…that’s probably fine), but at least they can stand, and see, and turn their head without feeling as though the world is caving in on them.

speaking of which, the world is kind of caving in <3 the moon begins to plummet to amphibia, and the rest of the hardest thing happens as in canon !! THE END

#THIS GOT LONG AND ITS NOT RLLY COHERENT SORRY <33 #i just think core sasha is v interesting #bc it would choose him for his betrayal and manipulation and cruelty #which are all things sasha dislikes about themself and wants to change and is actively WORKING to change #but the core would just. trap him as that. and maybe make him believe that’s all he is and all he can be. that he’s a bad person #ANYWAY. PAIN <3 #asks #mj.thoughts #amphibia #marcy 💗
