History YMMV / SashaAndTheFrogs

* MoralEventHorizon: [[spoiler:Anne crosses it in the season 1 finale wherein her Calamity-powered state, she punched Sasha ''dead center in the chest'' into a wall, instantly killing her. She's lucky Sasha's own Calamity powers activates and brought her back to life.]]

* MoralEventHorizon: Anne is teetering on crossing this line after she GrewASpine. After she had her discussion with Grime during her training, her reunion with Sasha could be a bloody one.

* MorePopularReplacement: Sasha is well loved in the original series yet this fanfiction shows how popular Sasha is as the main protagonist.
* MorePopularSpinoff: A fanfic variation. While the canon show is beloved for it's light-hearted elements, this fanfic has more fans due to how the author tackles the realistic side of Amphibia in his own way.

* AngstWhatAngst: Actually brought up InUniverse; Unlike Sasha, who has issues with parental neglect, Polly doesn't mind not having parents. She was too young to remember them and thus, lacks the emotional connection most would have. She's cool with it.

** In Chapter 2, when Sasha confessed to Sprig about abandoning him while they were both in the River Monster's stomach. Did Sprig genuinely didn't believe Sasha's lie or knows that she's lying but ignores her confession because he sees the good buried deep down inside her?

* RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap: A variation. Most of the characters here are given more depths that shows the realistic outcome of the story. Especially for Sasha since she is more likeable, friendlier, and sympathetic enough for the fans who hates her manipulative behavior.

** Sasha; being flung into an alternate realm and separated from her friends is just the start. Upon meeting the Plantars, the guilt of her toxic and manipulative actions slowly eat up at her until she has an epiphany and vows to make amends for her mistakes. She is even shunned by the people of Wartwood after a scheme to earn more money went wrong and was treated more of a Pariah. She makes mistakes and while some are well deserved, the lessons she takes are bitter pills for her to swallow if she wants to make herself a better person and continue the road to atonement.
** Anne probably got it even worse than her friend Sasha. Unlike Sasha, she landed in Toad Tower, taken prisoner by the Toad troops there and treated like an animal[=/=]prisoner at first. By Chapter 15, her optimism and innocence is slowly being destroyed when she and Grime has a discussion about Sasha, and upon catching on to how much of a toxic friend Sasha is, Anne begins to resent Sasha for placing herself, Sasha and Marcy in this predicament. All this occurred on her birthday no less.

* AngstWhatAngst: Bring up InUniverse. Unlike Sasha, who has issues with parental neglect, Polly doesn't mind not having parents. She was too young to remember them and thus, lacks the emotional connection most would have. She's cool with it.
