For the fandom asks: d, i and n :--)

for all these fandom asks assume my ‘main’ fandom is pnf unless i specifically mention otherwise :O !

d - a pairing you wish you liked but just can’t - gonna say perryshmirtz for this one. i don’t dislike the ship at all, and they definitely have an absurd amount of romantic chemistry, i just have An Intense Burning Indifference towards it. it’s a shame because i’m pretty sure it’s the most popular ship in the fandom besides phinabella, which means there’s no shortage of genuinely really wonderful content for it, but i just can’t get In To It for whatever reason. i wish all perryshmirtz fans a very pleasant evening [except the ones bombarding the ao3 tag with explicit works :/] but it just doesn’t do anything for me that their already established dynamic doesn’t do just as well

i - has tumblr caused you to stop liking any fandoms? - none that i can remember! i’ve fallen out of plenty over the years, but tumblr has never been a factor in me wanting to leave. aside from a couple cases where something suddenly changed and made the whole thing feel gross and bad suddenly, pretty much every time i’ve fallen out of a fandom has just been that the hyperfixation faded and i amicably packed my metaphorical bags and left quietly

n - three things you wish you saw more in your main fandom - gonna split this into a bulleted list for easier reading because boy howdy do i have Meta

fics/general Content about the main kids as teens that isn’t exclusively for shipping purposes. phinabella is the prime culprit of this but it’s not about what pairing is the focus it’s about the fact that people only want to focus on everyone’s romantic futures instead of like, ‘baljeet finally nosedives into burnout after building violent academic anxiety for seven years’ or ‘ferb comes out as nonbinary’ or ‘buford has a lengthy character development arc from jock to gay himbo’

FERB AND VANESSA AS FOUND SIBLINGS please it’s SUCH a good take on their dynamic. it’s got all the established mutual respect and affection with none of the creepy age gaps. let vanessa be ferb’s cool punk older sister who introduces him to new music and teaches him how to effectively fend off sensory overload at otherwise fun events and highkey enjoys the normal-ish sibling shaped dynamic after growing up as an only child with shaky relationships with her parents

candace being portrayed as mentally ill and not in the ‘hurr durr candace is hallucinating everything because all children’s content must be secretly edgy for me to enjoy it’ way but like a genuinely serious well-written portrayal of it. i personally hc her to have obsessive-compulsive disorder [in addition to autism and general anxiety because it’s my neurodivergence and i get to slap it on every character i look at] since her obsession with busting phineas and ferb really reads like a compulsion the way it’s presented, but honestly i’ll take anything if it’s respectfully written and makes the most of all the very clear hints in her behaviour. somehow i haven’t posted about this yet i don’t think?? but come on it’s such a great take on her character i promise
