[rllymilerlly]

...you already know who I want to ask for😂

Yes of course I do lmaooooo

For those who don’t know: Phineas and Isabella

GENERAL

Rate the Ship -  

Awful | Ew | No pics pls | I’m not comfortable | Alright | I like it! | Got Pics? | Let’s do it! | Why is this not getting more attention?! | The OTP to rule all other OTPs

How long will they last? - forever obviously

How quickly did/will they fall in love? - As we know they liked each other for a very long time and then got together right before they went to college. But I think it wouldn’t be until the 2nd semester of their first year of college that they drop the L word (maybe during their first summer together as a couple). They definitely love each other longer than that (they’ve always loved each other in some sort of way) but I always think they’d take their time with everything because “we have forever”

How was their first kiss? - The first kiss they had that they remembered was amazing and sweet

WEDDING

Who proposed? - I go back and forth on one hand I wanna say it was for sure Phineas, but I could also see Isabella doing it too

Who is the best man/men? - Ferb was Phineas’s best man obviously. With Buford and Baljeet being groomsmen. And of course Perry is the ring bearer

Who is the braid’s maid(s)? - the fireside girls were Isabellas bridesmaids and Gretchen was her he maid of honor. (I also think Candace would be a bridesmaid).

Who did the most planning? - They both equally planned, but it was Candace who planned it the most.

Who stressed the most? - You’d think it’d be Isabella, but shes actually really calm throughout the planning process. Phineas on the other hand is a bumble of nerves because everything has to be perfect for Isabella in his eyes. (Even tho to Isa marrying Phineas is already more than enough for her)

How fancy was the ceremony? - They had the biggest craziest wedding outta all their friends. But that was mostly the reception part. The actual ceremony itself was very private and intimate with only their family and closest friends. Though it did have its own Phineas Flynn flare to it still.

CHILDREN

How many children will they have naturally? - I think they’d have 1 or 2 kids, but they’d be the last of their friend group to have kids.

How many children will they adopt? - they don’t adopt any kids but they do rescue a lot of animals.

Who gets stuck with the most diapers? - Phineas does and he definitely tries to build a contraption to easily change diapers.

Who is the stricter parent? - Isabella is because Phineas has no self control and will cave with anything

Who stops the kid(s) from doing dangerous stunts after school? - Isabella because like I said before Phineas has no self control. And is probably the one encouraging the “dangerous” stunt.

Who remembers to pack the lunch(es)? - Phineas does!

Who is the more loved parent? - they are equally loved

Who is more likely to attend the PTA meetings?- They both probably would. I think they would be really into the community.

Who cried the most at graduation? - They both were crying but Isabella definitely cried longer

Who is more likely to bail the child(ren) out of trouble with the law? - Isabella

COOKING

Who does the most cooking? - Phineas does because I like to think he gets it from his momma

Who is the most picky in their food choice? - Neither are particularly picky but if anyone it’d be Phineas

Who does the grocery shopping? - They go together! And they turn it into a game usually

How often do they bake desserts? - Practically daily just like Phineas’s mom does.

Are they more of a meat lover or a salad eater? - They love meat but they also love a good salad too

Who is more likely to surprise the other(s) with an anniversary dinner? - Phineas would on occasion because he knows Isabella would rather do something small and sweet than big and extravagant. (And on the other hand Isabella had also made big giant creations with the help of Ferb for Phineas)

Who is more likely to suggest going out? - They both love going out, they’re very social butterflies

Who is more likely to burn the house down accidently while cooking? - Phineas because he tried to use some fancy contraption

CHORES

Who cleans the room? - They both do their fair share

Who is really against chores? - Neither are, they make it into a giant game

Who cleans up after the pets? - Phineas cleans up after Perry most of the time.

Who is more likely to sweep everything under the rug? - Probably their kid(s)

Who stresses the most when guests are coming over? - Neither do. They are both really big social butterflies and know how to entertain. Though Isabella might get a little stressed here and there if there’s someone really important.

Who found a dollar between the couch cushions while cleaning? - Phineas probably, I just see him having that kind of luck.

MISC

Who takes the longer showers/baths? - Isabella has a nice long nightly routine.

Who takes the dog out for a walk? - They both take Perry on daily walks towards the evening and talk about their days.

How often do they decorate the room/house for the holidays? - they go big with decor every holiday, no matter how small.

What are their goals for the relationship? - to spend the rest of their lives together.

Who is most likely to sleep till noon? - Isabella if either of them. But that’s very very rare.

Who plays the most pranks? - Isabella does and it’s more of things that make Phineas laugh than actual pranks

ok. I watched act your age again and i just need to get some stuff out. yeah. I agree with dan: it’s a sweet episode. it’s got a sort of nice vibe to it. but it just doesn’t feel realistic to me. it’s two specific things that I don’t like and they’re

matchmaker friends

the fact it took them til they were 18 to get together

I’m gonna start with the matchmaker friends thing. I get that it’s showing what these characters look like in the future (and that the ex-fireside girls are somehow important) but it’s a disgusting trope that I don’t think belongs on phineas and ferb. I genuinely don’t like it because they’re really showing how forced the episode is.

also, slight tangent, this also makes the other pairings seem forced as well, like baljeet/ginger and ferb/vanessa. yeah they’re het couples and both childhood crushes but that’s also not realistic at all to be quite honest. isabella is shown as a girl who’s super busy all the time (more than likely to take her mind off phineas bc she’s trying to get over him) and doesn’t interact with her friend group like she used to. now, I know that sticking with a friend group for more than 5 years is kinda unrealistic as well, but this one was pretty tight-knit so it’s probably pretty realistic for them. phineas is shown as a very average teenager who can’t decide what uni he wants to go to, as he’s been accepted to tons due to his incredible mind. this barely reflects his real self, because his personality is incredibly lacklustre and he seems apathetic toward pretty much everything. as a kid he was energetic and full of ideas, which is why his character seems so fake. it’s as if someone who watched one episode wrote this episode and was like “hey why don’t we just have him feeling depressed bc he hasn’t heard from his girly friend in ages but also can’t decide what school to go to but then he decides to go where his girly friend goes because they kissed and it’s all romantic” (that’s it by the way. that’s the whole goddamn plot). so in a nutshell, isa is shown as this busy teen who doesn’t hang out with the friend group anymore, and phin is shown as someone who’s sad bc he doesn’t realise his crush likes him back. so the fireside girls say “hey. isa’s leaving for university. why don’t we fulfill her childhood dream by trying to get her together with her crush. oh. and we’ll ask His friend group so that it’s both sides of the relationship. boys vs girls if you will” and yeah. thats their motherfucking plan (this is why I like fanfic so much more).

it’s forced. it doesn’t flow like the rest of the show, because the whole ship (thanks to the matchmakers) is being made to happen no matter what. where are the clips of isabella crying? goddamn, summer belongs to you was more emotional than this. isabella has grieved for the last few years of her life because she’s been running after a boy that (she thinks) doesn’t like her back. what about the clips of phineas falling for her? 11th grade, he’s sitting in homeroom and sees her across the room. sitting atop a desk with one leg folded over the other, laughing with the fireside girls. he loves the way she smiles when she laughs. he wonders if he can ever do anything to make her do that. but she’s clearly not interested in him. it makes him feel that weird sensation he’s felt for a while. it’s in his chest. it feels like a pit. it happens every time he realises she probably doesn’t like him back. what was the word he used? friendzone? yeah, thats it.

the lack of emotions in this whole episode makes it feel rushed and squished into a 22 minute segment. even another 10 minutes could have done the trick. put some more montages in. get rid of that ugly fireside matchmaking subplot and put some phin and isa being bro’s in. they could be the ultimate brotp. but everyone skips over their friendship because of isabella’s romantic feelings towards phineas. this episode completely tears apart their friendship development near the end of season 4. for crying out loud, phineas was running around the living room of their house in pharmacists because he was so scared she was gonna get hurt. he risked his own life to save hers and she did the same. but the writers for aya didn’t even acknowledge it. there’s only room for fake matchmaking friends in these halls.oh, did you order a big bucket of emotion? sorry, this is disney channel. you’re not gonna get it, I’m afraid.

alright, here’s something that really busts my gut. it is the most unrealistic thing that it took them til COLLEGE to get together. for christ’s sake, they were best friends at the age of 10 or 11! surely it would have only taken them a few more years to do something, at the very most 5 or 6 years. hardly 8! that’s too long for best friends who like each other to not get together, or at least kiss platonically and keep doing it until it gets legit! it doesn’t state that either phineas or isabella had any other relationships before their own buuuuut I do like my personal headcanon that baljeet and phineas dated at some point. and that maybe isa went out with like… idk. some other boys from their class at some point.

that pretty much concludes that. long story short, I don’t like the unrealistic vibe of this episode and even though it’s sweet it isn’t realistic for this pairing and doesn’t really deserve to be such a celebrated episode.
