Fan Commentary
(overview of fans' reactions to the ship, including relevant quotes from both within and outside the fandom)
In reunion, when Anne is holding onto Sasha as toad tower crumbles, she says "hey hey look at me look at me" and "everything is gonna be totally fine." However Sasha physically already had her eyes on Anne. This implies that maybe before amphibia, Sasha would frequently need grounding and reassurance during moments of weakness and panic and fear, and that's why that specific phrase was the first thing Anne thought to say in a moment of uncertainty and fear.

Maybe YOUR otp didn't need to be trapped in the frog dimension to even realize they had feelings for eachother but some people are built different I guess #sashanne#amphibia

Controversies
Some fans of the show take issue with or complain about Sashanne shippers due to the canonical relationship arc during which Anne realises that her friendship with Sasha had unhealthy aspects to it, including Sasha being controlling in their friendship.

Sashanne is a horrible ship. Stop shipping Anne and Sasha together guys, Sasha is literally toxic and manipulative towards Anne, it’s established all the way back in the second episode. It just seems crazy to ship them together in my opinion
[HelloMooch]
well no one agrees it's healthy, it's an interesting concept. I've always imagined it as a tamer version of jennifer and anita in Jennifer's Body.
