If you don't watch the show you only see him as the dumb pet cover

If you watch the show a little you see him as this stoic and suave secret agent (which he is) but also:

As the show progresses and you pay attention he's just a rlly sappy guy who has pictures of his nemesis in his wallet, cries watching soap operas, would do anything and beyond for his nemesis (even embarrassing shit) , cares so much for his owners , is very petty and a show-off , mock his boss , has a terrible fashion sense , likes physical comedy , is a germaphobe , prefers tea over coffee , also has pictures of his owners with him , knows how to dance, has a complicated love/hate relationship with his nemesis, pays attention when Heinz tells a backstory and even remembers what his nemesis likes and give it as a gift to him, uses contact lenses so maybe he need glasses , he takes a while to let people into his life (a lone wolf), know how to DJ and play the guitar , can be a little clumsy sometimes , sleeps in the same bed with his owners, gets depressed when his nemesis replace him with another agent to the point of leaving his job , scans and save all of Phineas and Ferb's inventions , is a really good emotional support friend, is good with kids, doesn't like when people wake him up early from his nap and most of all he text like this:

Today we wonder into Doofenshmirtz subconscious!

Actually, what struck me about this episode (aside from the fact that his subconscious features, for some reason, GIANT FLOATING BABY HEADS) is the contents shown in his subconscious:

• His traumas (lawn gnomes all over the place, since during his childhood he was forced by his parents to dress as one, and Balooney, which I guess is there because he betrayed him for Meep’s nemesis in season 2 if I recall)

• His fears (monsters and giant eyes??). What’s most important is also that his subconscious shows Perry’s grave with the fedora on it (left of the 1st screenshot). If Perry’s grave is there, it means that Perry’s death is something Heinz is afraid of! Heinz defines this place…

DISTORTED AND UGLY! So why Perry’s grave would be in such a place? Associated with something “distorted” and ugly?

Here Doofenshmirtz meets his “inner-self“, which proclaims that he’s been building the inators while Heinz was asleep. This inner self could symbolize the “Super-Ego”, the ones who tells him how he should act, what expectations he should meet. He scolds Doofenshmirtz for not understanding that the three inators he built were to be used together and not separated.

His “Super-Ego” tells him to be Evil, maybe because he thinks that this is how things should be, yet the Heinz in the middle, stuck between the Id (subconscious) and the SuperEgo, is what Freud have called the Ego.

Heinz’s Ego isn’t only in his lab coat but wears Perry’s fedora and has a beaver tail.

Maybe Heinz deeply knows that he can’t truly be evil, because that would mean he’d lose Perry.

Also, Perry is already part of him.

He already came to the realization that Perry is part of his family in a previous episode, he mentioned in the episode after that in his house the only guest he ever has is Perry. Perry helped him grow, that’s why his Ego is shown like that.

Probably, Heinz removed the way the inator worked because he didn’t want to lose Perry. He often sabotages his own plans by putting self-destruction buttons (that he’s shown buying in a store on sale, while Phineas and Ferb were searching for a Reverse Switch) or by making easily escapable traps. When he’s hit by the ray for telling the truth he built to sabotage his brother, he says: “Secretly, I’m very lonely!”.

He can’t take over the TriStateArea because then he’d return lonely! He would never have Perry by his side again. As he told to Buford: “You’re gonna be at the top of the heap! It’s lonely at the top”.

But, again, these are speculations!

Maybe I’m reading too much into this show!

Buuuut… the creators quoted Freud in another episode when Phineas and Ferb entered Candace’s subconscious (3-37, Monsters from the Id) and I can’t imagine that this is just a pure coincidence!

There are way too many details scattered over the series!

bonus: perry and vanessa double sass

* tumblr only wantz one thing and it'z fucking disgusting/j

* i hav never drawn doof before so this iz a page of me mostly figuring out how to phin-art-style-ify and color him lolz

i thought the pnf hyperfixation was Fading bc i refused to interact with it for a week bc things were Bad but finished cleaning up the last few sketches today and it still brought me the same amount of joy so. guess im here for the longterm huh

anyway heres a bunch of my fave pnf characters ft. me trying to stylize them in my own style despite me not actually having any discernible style to speak of. two of these are screenshot redraws, one of them is a meme and the rest are just… There i guess. i actually have more sketches of candace & vanessa (my beloveds) buried in my files but i did them ages ago and i cant decide whether i hate them or not so. buried they stay

commentary below:

1. candessa is the superior pnf ship

2. dance baby has occupied my mind for the past like 3 months

3. we deserved the owca files timeline

A boring, clumsy story.😣

Okay at first they’re kinda awkward. Like Stacy will give him the occasional ‘Hey Perry’ when she’s over at the Flynn-Fletchers but there’s not any actual interactions.

Once they get into the friend phase most of their communication is through text (Duh). If they’re hanging out in person, Stacy speaks and Perry types on his phone.

Perry eventually teaches Stacy sign language. He already knew it due to Secret Agent Training™ and the fact that he’s incapable of human speech, and they figured it would be easier and less time-consuming.

Stacy sends Perry memes. Like a lot of memes. He doesn’t understand them at first and he just responds with a comical amount of question marks through text and it just encourages Stacy to send more because it’s funny.

Perry eventually catches on, and sends the occasional meme back, but it’s mostly Stacy who instigates the meme wars.

Perry is Stacy’s go-to when Candace is in her Busting Mode or on a date. Most of their hang outs involve watching movies and soap operas or some other common interests they have.

Perry occasionally satisfies Stacy’s Excitable Teenage Nature by begrudgingly beating up inanimate objects with his Martial Arts. She finds it almost ridiculously cool.

Whenever Perry’s in a sticky situation and needs to distract the Flynn-Fletchers long enough to sneak in/out, he rings Stacy.

Stacy is also Perry’s go-to when he needs to rant about Doof’s particularly ridiculous inventions. She finds the stories both fascinating and hysterical.

It’s also vise versa for Stacy when Candace isn’t available. Perry’s a good listener and it’s physically impossible for him to interrupt her.

The only other person who knows that Stacy is in on the whole Perry-Secret-Agent-Thing is Pinky. I mean he and Perry are next door neighbors and work colleagues. It’s be kinda hard for him not to figure out.

Stacy only kinda knows about Pinky. She has a suspicion, even if Perry is legally not allowed to tell her. But she’s pretty paranoid about any seemingly normal animal now so she mostly cracks it down to that.

Perry helps Stacy with some homework once school rolls around. Especially if it’s about Government or some criminal justice-related class.

The first time Perry grabs a chicken wing from Stacy she almost chokes. He simply looks at her and signs ‘it’s the circle of life’.

After that, she and Perry like to play songs together—her strumming on her ukulele and him on a guitar.

Stacy and Vanessa eventually form a close friendship through Perry.

No matter how hard he tries, Perry cannot for the LIFE of him best Stacy at that wrestling video game. He won exactly one (1) time by pure luck and refused to play another round for a whole month so he could keep his dignity in tact.

It did not work.

Perry will occasionally pick up take out for Stacy when he’s coming back from a mission, but only if she’s already ordered and payed before hand.

Candace came across Perry’s contact on Stacy’s phone exactly one time. Stacy panicked, and said he was some guy she had a crush on but never got the urge to try and move on from a friendship. Candace then spends the whole day trying to hook Stacy and her ‘crush’ up, much to Stacy’s horror. Perry will NOT let her live it down.

Stacy is the first person Perry comes out to. Nothing changes, she just starts making an ungodly amount of terrible gay-dad jokes.

For exactly one week Perry is asked by Monogram to try out a newly developed translator to see if there’s any bugs that need to be tweaked. Perry gives Stacy a heart attack when he kicks open her bedroom door and immediately screams some obscure greeting.

That was the last time he was asked to use it.

Steven Universe Reference~

“OWCA Academy” is a “non conventional school” that doesn’t run on schedules similar to normal schools. “Classes” are often random and experimental, and really the only reason that Linda and Lawrence let Perry attend is because it has a high success rate and he got a full-ride scholarship.

I’m still deciding on how I want to draw doof lmao. Also known as: their first meeting.

Doof doesn’t really find the nemesisship fair because Perry’s a literal 9 year old and his PTSD from his abusive parents (and the fact that he’s a decent person) fully prevents him from fighting back. So in this AU Doof’s traps are just super elaborate so he doesn’t have to fight Agent P.
