* ''[[TearJerker/MarcysJournalAGuideToAmphibia Marcy's Journal]]''



[[folder:''Marcy's Journal'']]
* Marcy talking about how well she and Andrias got along is painful already, but then she mentions that one of the things they bonded over was having strict fathers, bringing a reminder of both ''why'' Marcy did what she did, and of how truly despicable Aldrich was.
* Speaking of Marcy's dad, from her description of him, the two had an absolutely '''terrible''' relationship, with heavy WellDoneDaughterGirl implications. While Mr. Wu couldn't have been anywhere near as bad as Aldrich, you don't have to be a ''good'' father to be better than a genocidal tyrant who groomed his own son to be a MultiversalConqueror. It was clearly only a matter of time before he caused Marcy to run away, and the job that required him to move out of California was evidently the last straw.
* Marcy writes multiple entries predating "Marcy at the Gates" worrying about what happened to Anne and Sasha, preemptively blaming herself for anything that happens to them because she was the one who got them stranded in Amphibia. With that in mind, it's possible Anne's DisneyDeath prevented her from fully forgiving herself for her actions, if at all.
* What caused Marcy to fall for Andrias' DealWithTheDevil? She learned that Anne and Sasha fell out over the latter's controlling behavior, and then Anne's return to Wartwood led to her catastrophizing about ''their'' side of the friendship, something which, judging by her saying she "got a bit panicky", led to a meltdown. She then thanks Andrias for calming her down, and then talks about his offer to send them to other worlds to work things through before they head back to Earth. Let's sum up what happened here: a girl thinks she's caused her only friends to drift apart from both each other and '''her''', and then a HiddenVillain, knowing full well she's wound herself up and won't be thinking straight, offers her what seems to be the perfect opportunity to salvage things.
-->I got a bit panicky during dinner. I think it REALLY hit me that ''Anne chose to go with the Plantars''. Combined w/the fact that she and Sasha are ''FEUDING''... It kinda felt like '''everything was just falling apart.'''
* In a subtle detail, the book includes pictures of Sasha and Marcy with their respective parents. Marcy's is from her 13th birthday, shortly before the show. Sasha's is from when she was a young child, most likely because Sasha's parents haven't been together for a ''long'' time.
* In one of Anne's entries, she describes being unable to sleep due to fear that Marcy might actually be dead getting to her and worries that ''she'' might have been responsible for Marcy not opening up about her actions.
** Becomes worst in a later entry where Anne reveals that she had some doubts Marcy survived that stabbing and only believes it partly so she wouldn't break down in front of her family. Adding on more reasons as to why she hadn't slept much lately.
