#phinbella

New (not) question from strawpage

Phinabella is my OTP for about 15 years.

Yeah, I've become a shipper of this ship for a half of my life.

It’s so cool to see something I loved so dearly coming back in full swing, and the new people who are part of it now. And how much they LOVE IT, proudly and fearlessly. It’s a unique lil corner of the internet, one so separate from my everyday life.

Gonna get a bit #personal below so adding a read more.

I’m working with my therapist on caring less of what others think. It’s strange; you’d think by a certain point, caring what people think would be old hat. Something high school Hay did to “fit in” when she had her people the whole time. And actually, publicly admitting how much I ADORE Phineas and Ferb and its fandom is still something I am grappling with, since I still fear what people think. “People” as in, coworkers. As in professional connections. It’s why I love scrolling PNF Twitter, but won’t engage personally unless I create an alias account.

Imagine though if I could freely speak how much these characters mean to me. Why I am a shipper through and through. This is the show that keeps imaginations running wild, dreams changing form. It’s inspired me to be a better friend, a better partner, a better creator.

I think I’m writing it all here to admit what’s been holding me back from engaging fully, and hold myself accountable. I spent the other day drafting a Phinbella fanfiction, and I’d love to continue working on it. I’d love to meet the other people in the community and just THEORIZE with them and gush about this insanely smart, funny, wonderful little piece of media we’ve grown so fond of. I literally did a play back in 2015 with Aaron Jacob, who worked on the show and did some of its most memorable songs… I was star struck when I found out who he was. Like. What a cool job! What a cool life!

A life I’m building right now, as a creator, a writer, an actor, a singer, a filmmaker.

The people in this fandom are SO creative. They’re the artists of today, the storytellers of tomorrow. How cool is it that we’re seeing each others work here on Tumblr?

Summary:

In which current-day Phineas tries his darndest to remember what freaked him out so much about flashing forward to high school when all he did was talk to Isabella about Prom for .2 seconds. It made sense in the moment but now he's just confused. And a little queasy. Why's his heart beating so fast?

We also spend some time with future-Phineas the day before Prom and...well...he's trying his best, okay?

(Set after the events of the "Phineas and Ferb: Locker Diaries" episode "Flash Forward." Or, is it before? Or during? Who knows, time travel makes my head hurt.)

we couldn't dance at the prom, but now we can do it for the rest of our lives ❤️‍🩹 (phineas x tall!isabella) background and effects - @juli4427-blog-blog sketch, color and effects - me!
