August 11, 1922 It Happens in the Best Regulated Families by Clare Briggs

You've heard of people griping about "these dumbass kids these days," now meet its more interesting (and true) sibling, "kids these days are a whole magnitude smarter than we were."

[ID: A balding man with mustache and spectacles leans back in his armchair, one hand holding open a magazine, the other ashing his cigar. The magazine is opened to an article titled, "My Job as a Father by Edgar Guest." A headline on the other page reads, "Be a Companion to Your Boy." /end] Father: A good idea. A VERY good article. I agree with Mr. Guest. We should take more interest in our sons.

[ID: The father puts his magazine down and eagerly greets his son, who stands with his hands in his pockets in front of his father's chair. /end] Father: Yes, Willie? Willie: I want to talk to you, Dad, about my radio.

[ID: The father puffs on his cigar and goes red in the face as the boy explains things. /end] Willie: A wire came off the variometer and I wondered if it fastened to the grid leak or the vario-coupler.

Willie: Buddy Guest said it would cause high frequency oscillations in the amplifier. Father: He DOES, does he!?

[ID: The boy goes on as the father, deeply embarrassed, tries to read the article further. /end] Willie: I think it would more likely affect the grid potential so as to get highest possible inductance in order to produce voltage amplification, don't you?

[ID: The father slinks down into his chair and buries his face in his magazine. Willie walks off, dejected. /end] Father: Yes, I think you're right. Willie: Ah-h-h...

Worst alarm clock ever!

The Librarians S04E01 And the Dark Secret.

Okay, I am losing it. To any and every Phineas and Ferb fan out there please help me out.

I've just been down a P&F rabbithole and found a couple of people saying that the song "Mysterious Force" from the movie Phineas & Ferb Across the 2nd Dimension was cut from the movie.

This was weird for me bc I clearly remember it being in the movie.

Just for some key context:

I did not see the movie on DVD (which from what i've read has the deleted scene as a bonus scene)

I watched the movie on TV near the time of release

I live in South America, so i am thinking there's a chance that the release was slightly different? (This also may mean i could've seen it in spanish instead)

a helpful visual for those of you who may be unaware about who exactly is voicing who in kahmunrah rises again:

(larry: zachary levi, octavius: jack whitehall, jedediah: steve zahn, mcphee: jamie demetriou)

PnF Headcanon; One of the reasons Perry’s OWCA’s greatest agent is that he got a LOT of practice trying to keep the Flynn-Fletcher kids safe from themselves. Before Phineas and Ferb learned about “safety” they used to make a lot of dangerous things that nearly got him killed while Candace was—Candace. (Meaning she would end up in wild situations that she would need help to get out of, just like now.) To this day, Perry has war flashbacks to the trouble they used to get into, just like when Monogram remembers the academy. Fortunately, those wild and unpredictable situations they created managed to get Perry in top form and prepared for ANYTHING. (I imagine that if Perry’s brainwashed and he hears one of Candace’s shrieks, he’ll instantly snap out of it.)

Escape from Phineas Tower is so funny because like. Phineas and Ferb's friends are like. OK. We'll deal with a lot of weird stuff. Dangerous stuff. But this tower. It's where we draw the line. This out of everything is where they draw the line. Ant Pheromones. Of course. Sketchy intergalactic internet ads. Sure. A plane whose wing has fallen off and is now duck taped on. Absolutely. Giant deadly maze, why not? But no to the fancy escape room. It's not the first time a line has been drawn, but it is always funny to see where the rest of the gang draws the line.

And on one hand, Phineas and Ferb do get out of the tower. They could handle it. But. They are very much actually in danger (though this isn't new, per se, and they've never been very easily bothered by danger). And then the tower goes evil and actively starts trying to kill them, and then keeps them trapped even when they do get out. Phineas admits to being in mortal terror. Also this whole time Candace is napping, so she doesn't call mom during this episode. So the "threat" of discovery by mom isn't there. And Doof's invention is the reason the tower went evil in the first place, so he's the cause of the conflict not its resolution. The conflict is instead the mortal danger is the motivation and the boys have to get rid of the tower house themselves. So its the rare occasion the boys have to you know. Deal with a threat and the results of whatever Doof's doing. The even rarer occasion that they actually have to deal with a problem they caused. And Candace isn't there to help them. Genuinely if you think about it the reason the boys ended up in so much trouble because Candace wasn't there to bail them out by getting mom. And they don't even really solve the problem. Just put it off for the future. Like, sure the air pressure in the galaxy is negligible, and it did prevent an invasion in classic PnF effect fashion. But they didn't fix the problem of a tower trying to kill them. And they don't even really realize the break in the pattern. (The only time I think they realize the pattern is in an alternate universe). I swear Candace is like 60% of the reason these kids are alive. (The other 40% being other Phineas and Ferb effect related outcomes). Also, Candace napping the whole time provides this minor side plot where the other kids are basically bullying her. The classic pranks you play on a sleeping person. And general tests of seeing how much they can do without her falling asleep. In case you ever wondered how the rest of the kids felt about Candace. They just. Bully her without hesitation. Candace really is just a tired older sister of not just one, not just two, but five weird kids who are probably all too smart for their own good.

Of course its paired with Remains of the Platypus which is another one of my favorite episodes, for how it breaks the formula in a completely different way. And just. One of my favorite pairs of episodes.

Okay so I’ve been brainrotting over this idea since seeing the phineas and ferb effect a few days ago

So like imagine that Derek began mulching people a lot earlier on so Phineas and Ferb at least had enough time to make these collars for themselves and their friends (basically who was with them alongside Isabella, Sara, and Amanda) to not lose themselves mentally before getting captured, and now have to save the world from pistachions… as pistachions (also I wanted to try out this new sketchbook I got)

I still can’t stop thinking about Merrily We Roll Along so here’s a little drawing of the besties. These designs are mostly inspired by the original cast but with some changes. I just didn’t want to draw Frank’s coat basically.

Will ‘Nones’ bring a more hopeful future?

104 Days of Phineas and Ferb GIFs: Day 102

Tron Legacy fic that really leans into how important Quorra and Flynn were to one another — the only family either had left for the equivalent of hundreds of years — hits so good I think it might take the cake as my top Legacy trope
