PHINEAS FROM PHINEAS AND FERB
From the beginning, Phineas Flynn was a boy of imagination and of creation. His parents worried about him, early on in life, when his imaginary friends seemed too concrete to be imaginary and his persistence dangerous, but as he grew older they saw. Their Phineas was a dreamer, and Ferb was the brother who helped to make his dreams a possibility. His mother lived her dream, and his father uncovered his. When he was young, they even entertained his fascination with the fantastic by allowing him to keep a pet platypus, one of his best friends growing up, and an animal who he always felt both amazed by and connected to. Perry was the keystone of the household in times of trouble or argument, however oblivious Phineas tended to be to conflict. Family was the one thing that Phineas always had and knew that he would always have.
Not too long passed before Phineas was able to replace those colorful imaginary friends with real ones, and by the end of his first year in school, his backyard was full every summer with kids who lived around the neighborhood and his friends from school, there to pretend and play and build. The boy talked a mile a minute and kept no secrets, held no judgment for anyone. He was genuinely a good friend, a good brother, and a good son, a childlike innocence surrounding him well into his teenage years. It was no surprise to anyone that he was surrounded by so many people; the kind, outgoing boy he had always been. If Phineas saw anyone sitting alone, he would be the one to sit by them and offer a shoulder to cry on.
For all that he was able to excel socially in school, however, he had trouble. Phineas was a gifted child, extremely intelligent beyond his years as a child, but school provided new and truly terrifying challenges for him. He realized early on that for all he could comprehend and as quick to process things as he was, he just couldn’t bring himself to understand reading. He’d find out later on that this feeling was caused by something called dyslexia, and plug through reading the articles describing it once he’d figured out the best ways for him to do so, but at the time, so early in his life, it was something Phineas found himself to be very much ashamed of. With time, he crafted his methods and created comfort under circumstances he once wanted nothing to do with, but that insecurity still lingered. To this day, Phineas would rather pick up the phone and give someone a call than text them, and in this digital age, video calls are a blessing to him. Most people just see this preference as being another one of his personal touches, another way to show that he cares, and it certainly is! There’s just no small degree of pride involved as well.
Here at university, Phineas is very much looking forward to pursuing his chosen field. Or fields! The only trouble is that he’s not quite sure whether it’ll be a single major or a double major situation. And that, regardless, he doesn’t know what that or those majors will be. Throughout his life, Phineas has had the privilege of numerous and varied opportunities. The only trouble is that he isn’t completely sure which have spoken to him the most. He’s got love for every craft, from arts to sciences to everything in between. Writing has never been his strong suit, but his creativity knows no bounds. He’d love to see his creations come to life on stage or screen. He’d love… everything, really! When he thinks about it, which is a few seconds short of always, he figures that’s the problem.
Phineas is dyslexic. School has always been incredibly difficult for him, despite his intelligence.
