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.

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.

they do world domination together

Listened to 'Say My Name' again and ofc that's what my mind immediately imagined

I've recently watched Wednesday and while I kinda like Wenclair... I also kind of don't. I mean, the chemistry is there, the aesthetic and dynamic are fun and there is a lot of potential for character development around the relationship and I definitely would prefer seeing Wednesday with Enid rather than Xavier or Tyler. But I also wish comments about not wanting romance in your life (like Wednesday tells her family early on in the show) wouldn't be treated as something to grow out of. I wish a child or even young adult could say things like that and while people around them wouldn't treat it as absolute (because of course you don't have everything figured out when you're young) they also wouldn't treat it as something that will inevitably turn out to be false.

I love these 😂

I am so happy Rayla has an animal companion now. The "cuddle-mama" scene was so heartwarming. So here she is with baby Stella eating her hair.

(+ asexual is separate from aromantic, but i wanted to draw that flag too 💚💜🖤🤍)
