He just don't feel like a person who would give himself into romantic relationships with one person

Give my boy a big group of friends he likes, put them in the same house, and he will be happy.

as a kid being in the fandom when i was barely 12 (almost five years ago now), i’d get unreasonably upset seeing any post or fanwork indicating anything about the comics or og shows were better. maturing is growing up and actually looking back on some of these things and realizing that they do actually do a lot of this stuff better…

i don’t like the shift in dt17’s gosalyn where she’s suddenly a crazy competent genius kid?? like girl you’re 11. who are you staying with. are you in a foster home?? or is one gosalyn waddlemeyer’s whereabouts unknown to authorities and no one is searching for the orphaned kid. how is she so well trained in how to track down people and break into places. WHERE did she get a CROSSBOW. why does she know how to use it and who even gave it to her?? if we assume she stole it, again how does she even know how to use it?

as many issues i take with the changes to gosalyn herself, i think i actually hate more how those changes effect the characters around her. namely launchpad and drake. i don’t like how gosalyn’s situation instead has drake seeing her as a criminal and how launchpad has to be the one nudge them together. i appreciate drake and launchpad coparenting gosalyn as much as the next drakepad shipper, but it’s undeniable that drake comes before launchpad in terms of father-daughter stuff. they shouldn’t have needed someone to help them bond with each other, no matter how clashing they may seem.

the reason gosalyn likes drake so much in the old show isn’t that he’s some awesome vigilante or that he’s trying to save her from bulba. it’s because drake sees her as a good and spirited kid rather than a problem child. he sees past her “troublemaking” and instead sees her as a good kid in a tough spot. dt17… completely ditches that. he needs launchpad to convince him to give her a chance. launchpad is instead the one to believe in gosalyn. it ruins so much of their dynamic just to shoehorn launchpad in. i think drake and gosalyn deserved to bond just as much as they did in the og show’s opener, without launchpad. launchpad fostering a relationship with gosalyn can come later on. trying too hard to include launchpad just makes gosalyn and drake’s side of things feel shallow.

like just knee-jerk reaction, when i say “backyard gang” do you think of irving in that group too?

Today I posted a fanfic of a ship that has been in my life for over a year.

As crazy as it sounds, it's a ship between Phineas and Buford. Yeah, unusual, I know.

But one day they popped into my mind and everything just made sense. I spent so much time compulsively thinking about them. I jutted down headcanons. Made art. Playlists. And eventually wrote a fanfic.

So I decided to get it all out there, so that maybe it'll reach someone that will like this ship as much as I do.

sweet as a 1/4th cup of sugar Some extras below the cut!

It's the 2nd Annual Phineas and Ferb Secret Santa, hosted by myself and @pftones3482!

Click here to fill out the Google Doc Form and join the 2025 Secret Santa.

You have until the end of November 10th to finish the form, and names will be assigned on November 20th. Secret Santa gifts will be due by no later than December 20th!

A few things to please keep in mind:

Please keep requests for your art short and sweet. No full length prompts, just a quick sentence or idea (i.e., "The gang building a snowman" or "Holiday Lights"). If you send a full length prompt, we will shorten it for you to the overall idea

Absolutely NO NSFW or adult themes will be accepted (this includes sex, blood, death, gore, or incest themes). Romantic theme requests are allowed but this is, first and foremost, a kids show, so keep it PG

No OCs - keep it focused to the show characters only

Phineas and Ferb requests only - we love the other Dwampyverse shows dearly, but we can't guarantee everyone has seen all of them and would know how to write for/draw other characters in the universe

Please please PLEASE indicate things you do not want to create art for - we will be accepting requests from all parts of the fandom, no judgement, so if you have ships you are not comfortable writing for, please specify that. This is a large fandom with varying opinions and beliefs, we want to incorporate everyone but make sure everyone has fun in their own regard

Fic lengths can be as long or as short as you want to make them, and art can range from sketches to full blown shaded pieces. Whatever you feel comfortable with doing for the prompt you receive!

If you have an issue with the prompt you receive, please let us know! We can either tweak the prompt given, or reach out to your person and ask them if they have a secondary prompt they'd want (issues can be "I'm not confident writing for this character" or "I literally can't draw Doof to save my life pls help." Any moral issues need to be addressed in your "will not create art for" section in the survey.)

If for any reason you have to drop out of the event, please let us know ASAP!! And if you'd be willing to make two pieces of art in the case of someone dropping out, feel free to message one or both of us!

All that out of the way, this event is for fun!!! This is to encourage people to write, draw, and edit, to showcase the talents within the fandom. Everyone of all skill sets and levels is encouraged to sign up!

We are looking to keep it focused to Tumblr only, just for ease of access, communication, and sharing, but if you have an AO3 account or other site where you post art, feel free to mention it in the survey in addition to your Tumblr account.

If you have any questions, please reach out to either myself or @pftones3482
