Should you fight this character (Archive Squad Edition)

Jonathan Sims: Well, everyone else has. And I can see why you’d want to! He’s a small, prickly man with a small, prickly face and he will absolutely insult you ten times before breakfast before asking for favours or deep dark secrets from you, so I understand the compulsion to ‘do a bit of a Mike Crew’. On the other hand, these days he’s a little less prickly and a little more Apocalyptically Terrifying and so unless you actually want the world to know about your hideously embarrassing vore kink or your AO3 search history or That Thing You Did When You Were Seventeen it’s probably not worth the satisfaction of a quick punch in the kisser. Ask yourself: will it make you feel special? Will it fill the void in your heart to punch a man so thoroughly beaten-down by the world? Will it be worth the Liam Neeson style revenge of one Martin Blackwood? 5/10, initially satisfying, fundamentally not worth it. 

Martin Blackwood: Take a seat. Look at your life. Look at your choices. Look at this jumpered man who is shaped like a friend. Could you fight him? Sure, you could try, but he’ll probably just hug your arms to your sides and talk to you about your problems a bit and you’ll end up feeling better, but empty inside. Maybe he’ll just cry. Maybe he’ll - worse still - just take the punch and say he deserves it. You can’t fight a man who is so absolutely centred on fighting himself. Do you think Martin cares about your violence? Against him? Fighting Martin isn’t worth it because Martin would fight himself if he had the opportunity because he thinks he deserves it (and also because it unquestionably makes you a very, very bad person, you monster) 1/10 because why would you? 

Timothy Stoker: Tim Stoker knows no fear. In the three seconds after you throwing your first punch he will have ascertained your relative strength, whether there’s a chance of this just being foreplay, and your absolute greatest weakness. He’ll spike you through the solar plexus and heelie away without a care. He probably won’t even stop smiling. “Oh, hey, how’s it going - wow, bitey aren’t you, let’s just knock you out there, great chat byeeee!” Now I’m not saying it’s not feasible that you could get the drop on him, and he’s a bit of a bastard sometimes anyway so you might even want to, but Tim stands a better chance of trying to pick somebody up on the dancefloor, slipping on a patch of jaegerbomb and knocking himself out than he does of being knocked out by you. Still. Shoot your shot, I guess - that’s the advice he’d give you. 7/10 depending on sympathetic you are about his backstory. 

Sasha James: Now, look, it’s not that Sasha James is exceptionally strong or exceptionally fast and if you really, really wanted to fight her, you’d probably win. You would! You’d win. Well done you. Off home for a victory march you go. Now watch as your credit-card information disappears and your bank accounts drain overnight. Your broadband bill has tripled but you somehow don’t have any of the packages you want. Your wi-fi has stopped working and your printer keeps printing things that you’re pretty sure you never asked it to print (it’s mainly memes, and that’s Tim’s influence). Sasha will wreck your entire life in an afternoon. And also - why would you want to fight her in the first place? Sasha James has never done anything wrong in her entire life, ever. 3/10, yes you could fight her, but at what cost?

Melanie King: Do Not. Even if you get a few good licks in she will bite off your ears and use your skull as a colander. 0/10

Basira Hussain: You could. But consider for a moment Basira’s absolute ruthless pragmatism. If you pose a danger - to her, to those she holds dear - she will have precisely zero hesitation about burying you twenty foot deep after killing you in a distractingly thorough and practical fashion (can’t come back as an undead monster if she’s buried your lungs in Swindon and your feet in Bournemouth, probably). It probably won’t even ruin her day. You can fight her, die, and it won’t even ruin her day. It might even improve it. It’s nice to get something productive done in the morning while you still feel fresh. 2/10 if Basira doesn’t kill you Daisy sure will.  

Daisy Tonner: There’s a lot of arguments for fighting Daisy (remember that time she stabbed Jon in the throat and made him bury a man lol wild) but the only time you stand a chance of fighting her is when she’s fresh out of the Buried and God, talk about kicking somebody when they’re down. That’s on fighting-Martin level of monstrous, tbh, and you’re bad for thinking about it. The only exception to this rule is if you’re Into being Torn Apart in a Sexy Way and honestly, you might get more than you fucking bargain for. 3/10 sure can understand your motivations, chief, but have you considered maybe not 

Peter Lukas: Ooooh, I’m a big Avatar of the Lonely, I have a ship and a hat and a whistle and I can feed people to my eldritch god oooooh. Peter big (this we know). But Peter doesn’t like confrontation. Peter will not know how to respond to a flurry of fists and fury that isn’t Elias and there’s a pretty good chance that he’ll just run away. Still, if you can corner him, you should absolutely fight him, because Peter needs to be taken down a peg. Sure, you’ll feel like a bit of a bastard because he’ll keep trying to smile that cheerful smile and complimenting your technique as you break his jaw, but you’ve got to look past that and remember what a monster he is. 10/10 fight him and push down your own inevitable guilt. 

Elias Bouchard: Does this even need a score? If there is anybody in the entire Archives you should be fighting, it is this mean. Sure, it’ll cost you some resurfacing of your deep-seated trauma but that’s a small price to pay for the satisfaction of clocking him in the skull with a stapler and hanging him by his silk underwear on a flagpole somewhere. It’s What He Deserves. 99999999/10 this bastard rat man absolutely deserves to be fought. He’ll make out like he’s pleased by this, or that he’s enjoying it, or that it’s all part of his Grand Plan. It isn’t. It is your moral duty to fight Elias and frankly if you’re not already on your way to the Institute I’m shaking my head.

This was a vent fic. Am i proud of it? Not exactly. Did i need to get this out? Yes.

Summary: Daisy overhears some office gossip and steps in.

Warning: bigotry against ace and non-binary folks (Jon specifically)

"I swear, archives can do whatever they want and get away with it," Jennifer from Finance grumbled.

Bill hummed in assent as he placed a cigarette between his teeth. There was the click of a lighter and then a loud exhale. Daisy was surprised they hadn't lit a cigarette yet. An awful stench drifted in as soon as they set foot onto the roof. "They have a cot in their department. Pretty sure that's not actually allowed."

Daisy bit her lower lip. She's fairly certain that if the other two knew she was up here with them, they'd scamper off with their tails between their legs. But she couldn't be bothered to deal with them. She went up here to keep the claustrophobic thoughts out of her head, not confront a couple of cowardly busybodies on their cigarette break. So she just sat behind the water tank, leaned her head back and tried to ignore the two.

They were growing increasingly loud however. And annoying.

"And, god, that Melanie King carries a knife everywhere she goes. If you ask me, they should have arrested her along with Elias," Jennifer continued.

Daisy clenched her jaw. Stay calm, she told herself. 

"Oh, and there's that woman—Daisy, they call her. I'm 70% certain she's not an employee here."

"Yeah, what's up with that?"

She sighed inwardly. For god's sake, just shut up.

"Basira let her in apparently?" Bill said. "Not sure why. Other than that though, Basira's the most normal out of the bunch. That's not a high bar but, eh."

"Okay, right. Basira's fairly decent. But you know who's the worst? Jonathan Sims."

"Jesus christ, he's a nutjob, that one."

"And a knob, from what I hear from research. The most unsociable snob who didn't care much for other people. After that he got promoted to head archivist. I'm 90% ceratin all that got to his head," Jennifer said. Suddenly, her voice grew hushed, "Oh, and I hear he's actually impotent or something."

Daisy's eyes widened. What the— This was far too personal.

"Holy shit. You're joking."

"Oh, it's real. I overheard Melanie and Basira chatting about it. Jon's ex-girlfriend said so apparently. Something about how he just doesn't," she said with a huff of incredulity. "More like 'can't' if you ask me. What man wouldn't want to?"

"Hey, maybe he ain't a man in the first place," Bill laughed. "Do you see all the skirts he's been wearing lately? Fucking disgusting. What man would wear a skirt?"

Daisy was looming over them, seething with rage, before she knew it. "And what business is that to you two?" she growled.

The two of them paled instantly (cowards, both of them). They stammered out something unintelligible—something about work and documents and excel sheets—before they darted off.

Groaning, she walked back down towards the basement and softly massaged between her eyes. How did she end up worse for wear after coming to the roof to calm down?

When she reached there, she saw Jon, looking a little worse for wear with the rims of eyes slightly a little red. He stood directly in front of the entrance of the archives, as though waiting for her. He fidgeted at the sight of her and then took a deep breath and said, "Thank you, Daisy."

Daisy was confused for a moment. Her heart sank. "You saw all that?"

"I— Yes, I did. By accident. The eye… forced it upon me." He waved his hand dismissively. "Unimportant. I just want to say I appreciate you… standing up for me."

"They have no right to say those things about you."

"They weren't entirely untrue," Jon muttered. "Not the impotent bit. But I am asexual. Meaning, I don't… feel sexual attraction. And I'm not exactly a man either." He fiddled with the pleats of his green skirt. "Somewhere in between, I suppose. Either that or nowhere in between." He laughed awkwardly.

"They still have no right to say all of that," she insisted. "They know nothing about you. They were just being bigots. Hell, I'd say it was rude of Basira and Melanie to be talking about your private life behind your back in the first place too."

Jon closed his eyes. "I… Thank you, nonetheless."

"I only acted because I couldn't stand the thought of them speaking about you like that. I had to say something."

"Honestly, you don’t have to put yourself through such unpleasantness for my sake. These things simply happen once in a while. I'll be fine."

She crossed her arms and raised an eyebrow. He wasn’t "fine", she knew. The air about Jon was tense, slightly shaky. Even the way he was twisting his black ring screamed distress.

He squirmed under Daisy’s scrutiny. “It’s really alright.” He pursed his lips into a tight line of resignation.

"I'm used to it."

"You know how that’s worse, right? The fact you’ve gotten used to it. I think the world should be a bit kinder to you. And if that means telling off jerks like that, I'd do it again. No hesitation."

Jon blinked in shock, and it infuriated Daisy to see him look like that. Like he didn’t know what to do with himself. Like no one had ever stood up for him. The watchdog in Daisy wished she could pull him to her side to keep him safe and shove a middle finger at the world for… honestly, everything.

“If you hear anyone talking shit about you again, tell me. You shouldn’t have to deal with all that crap.”

“I…” Jon sighed, some tension in his shoulders relaxing. “Thank you, Daisy. But I, uh, rather not have you starting fights for me. These things, rumours and gossip, they’re never-ending to begin with.” He smiled, genuinely. “It’s sufficient knowing you’ll be here for me. Knowing I have a friend in you.”

Friend, huh. Something welled up in Daisy’s chest and she ruffled Jon’s already messy hair to force it back down.

Everything Wrong and RIGHT With Last Day of Summer

Well, here we are. The finale. Sure, we've for one more thing to do after this but in terms of the main series, this is it. I'll save the speech for when we fully cap things off in a couple days.  So for now, let's take a peek at what this finale did wrong and right.

(I almost didn;'t do wins, to reflect how Dan and Swampy kept things more basic for this finale but I had too much to say and I just had to. If you would have prefer my original plan, just skip the wins, k?)

SINS:

1. Again, the production codes skip a number for some reason.

2.You've heard of abrupt endings? Here's an abrupt OPENING!

3.”We've got one last day of summer” Roll credits!

4.Let;s have some Serious Fun” Hey, he says that generic bit more than once, let's call the song that on the soundtrack version!

5.'Though that is not mathematically possible” Still good at sins.

6.”We're doing something and it's gonna be big' Not really, that's kinda the problem people have with this finale.

7.You're just gonna ignore the “bust you once and for all' part, Phineas?

8.”Why do have this many wheeled objects lying around the house?” My thoughts exactly.

9.My parents typically did back to school errands BEFORE the last possible moment.

10..”Since it's our last day of Summer, we're thinking a grand finale is in order!” Subtle.

11.It's the last day of Summer, Carl shouldn't be at school yet.

12.This is a Groundhog day story, so Candace and Doof go through embarrassing little things so we can repeat them later, as things just happen to go wrong on days where they'll have to do it again.

13.Doof is a dick to Vanessa.

14.”Is it really grand finale materiel enough for these 2 guys?” Buford represents some Critics of this finale.

15.The title of the song doesn't have a whole to do with anything and it's a tiny bit like So Much Fun not Knowing where You're going

16.Buford not changing when they became the real actors is one thing, but why didn't he change when they become “realstic” ish looking beforehand?

17.The creators said Buford didn't change that 2nd time because Bobby Gaylor is too old and off putting, but that would made it funnier!

18.Also, this Big Idea would work better if previous big ideas were referencing it. It would have been like Backyard Hodge Podge...but that had no references either!

19.”I have notes” “Like I said almost” This doesn't quite fit with the finale reaction as much as that last comment, but close.

20.”Snared in my trap” Boooo

21.Wait, where did Doof fall so that he could get back here so quickly?

23....Okay, this confirms NOTLP as canon which is a sin on it's own.

24.But why did Candace borrow the french films when she clearly didn't' care for them there?

25.”I could use some downloading” No one says this as slang.

26.”Do you know how frustrating it is to have a single unrealized focus in your life?” Well, that's just crazy” Haw haw.

27.”It says Do over right in the name” Doof seems to always be good at sins.

28.He says he needs to work out kinks, but Candace uses it anyway.

29.Groundhog Day Loop cliché.

30.”You there boy, what is it?” Last day of summer of course” Christmas carol reference.

31.Doof should be more confused that suddenly it's morning for him again.

32.”Door slams mean sadness” Even Norm calls out the cliches!

33.I agree, why and how does Norm record you?

34.Hey, we need to pad this out by like a second. Let's randomly say he likes pancakes because lolrandom

35.It took them til the last minute to have these 2 sing together.

36.Candace acknowledges there could be problems but ignores that because plot.

37.Candace magically changes clothes!

38.Discount Busted.

39.In the soundtrack version, this sing it all together in the 2nd half for some reason.

40.'I'm the master of ti-” Haw haw

41.”This really bites” Boooo

42.Once again, Linda refuses to look up.

43.”Why do I  even have 3 skates” I can ask the same question.

44.Neither Doof or Candace question why the days are repeating when neither touches the machine this time.

45.”It's hip today to talk in Acronyms” STFU.

46.Perry escapes from 'that” by magic.

47.Here's where the time logic issues start. Spoons are now gone, but that should change history more than just making people drink from the bowl.

48.Quirky Worky Song.

49.Why is Candace a clown now? Same goes for the other random bits here.

50.Can't wait for the Wiki to count Doof singing The Muffin Man as a P&F song for some reason.

51.”You seem busy” “Aw honey...that's very perceptive of you” Wow, Doof. You're a dick.

52.Insert Trump Joke Here.

54.Kind of weird for a certain  type pants to vanish, rather than all pants. type pants to vanish, rather than all pants.

55.This legally would not fly.

56.The Do Over Inator has now no longer existed thus creating a huge time paradox.

57.It sucked up one tiger, I assume, and all are again. It gets two humans but none other vanish. Huh.

58.Netflix splits this up into 2 parts yet again.

59.DRAMATIC CLIFFHANGER....then cheery song. Dang it Netflix.

60.Doof sing some lines differently than he did before. Weird.

61.Thanks Netflix, I already forgot Dan and Swampy made this the first time you listed them!

62.Melanie appears but certain important characters do not. We'll get to that later.

63.If I ever forgot any plot holes with the anolies, this is a placeholder for them. I'll mention as many as I recall though.

64.”Orange you glad we have something to eat?” Booooo

65.Isabella doesn't seem like the king to have started hanging with these 2 to begin with, without the boys.

66. And Buford doesn't seem to be as Bully-ish as he should be given the boys befriending is what made him nicer.

67.Just like in Quantum Boogaloo, it's fine to break the law for the greater good.

68.Didn't we go through some of this back in The Beak?

69.We never saw suspenders vanish, or anywhere in this void and the boys have no way of knowing they vanished until later. Same goes with turkeys.

70.You're right, Mr Keane is having a very bad day” He doesn't remember them so I doubt it.

71.I really want to know how the heck that OWCA Internship thing went down...

72.It's still impressive Doof is all the way at Number 3.

73.Hey wait, how are buildings in this void is no buildings have been sucked up yet?

74.Convoluted and pointless is about the same as Ridiculous.

75.He tried to be a good guy in Agent Doof. Didn't turn out well, nor even in the special that comes after this.

76.Also, Face Heel Turn Cliche

77.As amazing as this is, Doof is clearly evil in the holiday episodes. Even if the two Summers thing explains this, still a sin.

78.Oh, and it's slightly rushed him to agree to do good right away, honestly.

79.P&F are gone, how are they still on her alarm clock?

80.”Who is that girl in the bathrobe” Those are Pajama's.

81.Buford teleports to the Donuts.

82.The cosine of 81.7 is not 17but rather .144 (if measured in degrees) or .999 (if measured in radians).

83.”Why should I tell you?” Buford is really cool with time almost coming to an end.

84.Oh hey a groundhog, hardy har.

85.Fairly sure there are more than a handful of groundhogs in the whole world. Same goes for anything we see in here, really.

86.The rift doesn't suck them until it's convenient.

87.PHINBELLLAAAAA. (This is the last time i'll make that gag...)

88.One of the clips from happy new year. Which was...not in summer. Again, two summers explains this but meh.

89.The Spoon bit is funny but one the clips is clearly from Mind Share, showing him at the square dance...where this didn't happen due to the whole mind swap thing.

90.”How can you tell their Capri Pants” Isabella is also good at sins

91.This joke is kinda funny, but oddly a bit mean for this show.

92.Where did that fabric come from?

93.”Strange we didn't notice that” Yes, yes it is.

94.Okay, so here's a rare actually criticism. She admitted this entire situation is her fault, so she should really have been called out for this, as way for her to learn how damage her busting obsession is once and for all. Just saying.

95.It's the finale, may as well pull out the “song that's self aware of it's lyrics' gag one last time

96.So if Raw Turkeys are gone now, does that mean the live ones are gone too?

97.We see many different kind of cars but only one kind of every other object.

98.”Dad, you have to tell us things like this” Agreed.

99.”We got no time to lose. Literally” Booooo

100.What exactly was Perry was gonna say? He can't really speak english.

101.Lawrence says he did an obvious thing just to tell us Spoons are back.

102.Another real complaint: Revealing that Doof's inator was unplugged was a bad move, it means he pretty much did nothing. Leaving it ambiguous would have been better.

103.”Memories” Even they call this out as corny.

104.”Which time?” The only one Buford was actually there for, duh.

105.A cheesy-ish last minute song can't quite make up for the whole not being finale-ish enough...it can but I'm an asshole.

106.Some of the favorite moments they imply through visuals are odd, or is hard to tell. What the heck is Ferb doing here?

107.They reuse footing from Summer All over the world.

108.Also, time to hold a funeral for the 4th wall!

109.Real complaint #3: I get WHY Jeremy and Stacy don't really appear in the actual story...but why not this song which has Carl and the Fireside girls who had not been here until now? Heck. Norm is featured but doesn't add a ton despite being less important to the show!

110.Extra sin for them not being shown enough in  the clips here. IRVING appears more due to these. The character people hate!

111.You didn't hunt Bigfoot, he was a fake.

112.”I think my dream was inside perry's dream” Even at the very end, you have to sin yourself.

113.Another clip from Happy NEW YEAR is shown here.

114.Clip of Wizard of Odd is shown and you know why it's a sin.

115.”We spent a day fighting pharmaceutical zombies' It was a NIGHT.

116.”We made Hockey Z-9” You're just mocking me at this point.

117.Why mention Hockey 7-9 BEFORE Football x-7?

118.”You just wait ten years” ...+2

120.Now we got a clip of the Dan and Swampy parts of Tri Stone Area! This is getting stupid.

121.Oh, and writer credits at the end...again.

122.Speaking of credtits, ending credits go over the episode that is still running.

123.Everyone else vanishes after they get off the platforms. I get why but still.

124.The Copyright stuff says 2014 for something aired in June of 2015.

I know I don't take sins off when I do wins....but holy crap, this entire ending deserves it. Besides, I think of no other sins because I'd be a jerk to sin Phineas waving goodbye.

EPISODE SIN TALLY: 123

SENTENCE: 6 more weeks of Nullville

Well...there you go. Over 100 again but it didn't quite beat NOTLP or Star Wars, which is good. Not sure SBTY and Mission Marvel didn't come close to hitting 100 but ah well. (Save Summer had like 98, close enough). I blame the time crap on the high count.

With all that said, time for the final wins to see why this finale works!

WINS:

1.This song by itself is really fun and is a really good way to start the finale.

2.”We set a precedent for entertainment”. Yes. Yes you did.

3.The alarm clock bit is funny on it's own, but serves as a nice and fitting Groundhog Day reference.

4.”They never do...they never do' Releatable!

5.”Since it's our last day of Summer, we're thinking a grand finale is in order!”

6.Nice use of the first Perry entrance.

7.Monogram missing Carl is really sweet.

8.Norm is always a win.

9.The Doof side is the main reason I flat love this finale (besides the other thing..) and it gets a good start with Doof focusing more on his scheme of day then listening to Vanessa, but not in a jerk-y way.

10.This nicely shows Buford's development. At first he was afraid to show affection but now he does this and Phineas and Ferb are cool with it. Nice.

11.This song sequence is really nice. It's really sweet just seeing them having fun on this cool structure. Gives off the nice feeling something like this should.

12.The gag with their faces changing is funny, especially Buford being an Octopus.

13.Candace calling again just to laugh is funny.

14.This plot starting because of Candace havng to return something of Vanessa is awesome, as an arc that developed in the series plays a part here. Nice!

15.Also, Candace/Vanessa Friendship is always a win.

16.Doof's plan of just flat out using an inator to become Tri Governor is great

17.As little sense as it makes, dig the NOTLP callback here.

18.Candace meets Doof for real!

19.”When the guy whose punching you suddenly loses interest mid punch, it's time to take serious stock of your life” Deep.

20.Do you know how frustrating it is to have a single unrealized focus in your life?” Well, that's just crazy”. Heh.

21.The concept for the plot is great. Doing a groundhog day plot in the last day of Summer is just fitting. Also , I love groundhog day plots.

22. “That's not even a word” “It is now, I made it up” The way she says it sells this.

23.”I'm moving out Dad” Ouch, so it begins. This gives Doof a reason to want to be Tri Governor, which fits with his character. We'll go into both sides as we go on.

24.DOOR SLAMS MEAN SADNESS

25.Snarky Norm is the best.

26.Tomorrow is this morning Again is AWESOME. Doof and Candace work really well off each other and it's very catchy and nice.

27.Nice Busted Reference

28.There's some stuff they do with the traps as things repeat.

29.STUFF IT NORM

30.”It's muffin time, sir” Nice at2d callback.

31.'Well, she's having a good day” I love Lawrence.

32.Dig the montage here.

33.Muffin Man bit is amusin.

34.Even when he blows her off, he assures her he'll put her first eventually. It's a joke but it's nice.

35.Plenty of good gags with how objects vanish and people's reactions to ity.

36.The stakes really get high as the do over inator vanishes as do the boys. Despite the chill feel they went with, the stakes are the highest ever given the time stuff.

37.”Who are Phineas and Ferb?” That's a chilling bit.

38.At least Netflix let us hear this awesome song again.

39.I'd listen to a boy band called Phineas and Ferb.

40.As well as one called Capri Pants

41.This Nullvile place is pretty cool.

42.Isabella still being friend with Buford and Baljeet is nice.

43.”You should stay out of the sun” Buford is a treasure.

44.DOOFENSHMIRTZ TRI GOVERNER'S MANSION.

45.Remember, Phineas and Ferb, two of Perry's beloved owners no longer exist. This sad moment is now even sadder.

46.”You're right, Mr Keane is having a very bad day” Heh.

47.We see more great-ness from the Vanessa plot. Her taking an OWCA Internship is really cool and gives her a good reason to want to leave. This is a nice moment in general.

48.But not as nice as...this

“You're basically a Nice Guy pretending to be evil. It seems like it's all out of obligation to your backstories, not something that truly comes from your heart”

THIS,. IS.BRILLIANT. Let's think about it. Doof had some truly tragic and bad things happen to him but he mostly seems fine in some flashbacks even after all that happened. Doof has never been the best at evil, so everything she says make sense. Doof felt he should be all evil after these backstories given that's what normally happens.

Everything in the series has shown he's  better as a nice guy than a truly evil villain. He IS a nice guy pretending to be evil. On it's own, this is a great scene that is nice and gives us one of the best Face Heel Turns evil, but given it's place in the series, this helped officially make Doofenshmirtz one of my favorite villains, but one of my favorite characters of all time as well. +5 for this!

53.And it being rushed helps the story, as the loop gives him time to be good for longer during the rest of the episode.

54.”I'd be obnoxious if I weren't so charming” That also sums Doof up very well.

55.The Buford donuts thing makes me laugh more than it should.

56.Perry, Doof and Vanessa teaming up to make this inator is cool

57.The Groundhog appearing is a nice touch to the reference.

58.”I hope that doesn't mean 6 more weeks of Nullvile” Haw

59.The Phinbella montage is nice.

60.SPOONJEET OTP

61.The orange bit is also funny.

62.The use of platypus walk just makes this part.

63.Candace reuniting with the boys is sweet.

64.This reminds me to bring this up. Yes, this is more Candace/Doof focused but it works for me. For one, P&F play a big part with them vanishing and we get nice bits with them all through this. Not to mention the usual “The show is really about them thing” This more of a Split Personalty than a Run Candace Run.

65.Isabella and the Capri Pants always gets me.

67.Buford claiming he's heard that phrase is funny.

68.Candace admitting this is her fault is nice even if it doesn't quite go anywhere in terms of the character.

69.This is a fun song

70.This entire climax is great, with both sides of the showing working hard to set things right. The loop getting smaller just adds to it.

71.”Are you with me?” “Yeah, I am” D'awww.

72.Spoons save the day!

73.Extra win for this extra intense moment.

74.Buforange!

75.This happy moment is very satisfying.

76.Eh, at least Doof THINKS he saved the day.

77.Another sweet Doof/Vanessa moment here.

78.”That was an eventually summer” Hear hear!

79.”Memories” D'awww

80.Before we touch on the song, let's go over other stuff. Yes, this isn't exactly the grandest finale ever but for one, the creators did this on purpose to keep things simpler. Heck, this is the only special with no guest stars! It was a real move. The show could be epic but why do we love it? The humor and the characters, and this is all about that, especially the Doof side. Extra win for this, honestly.

82.Not to mention the concepts for the story, and  Doof parts help make this fitting as an end to the series proper.

83. Then there's THIS FREAKING SONG. It is a PERFECT song and perfect ending in general. First off, the gang just being like this is super sweet.

84.And the sweet part of the song is very effective at making us reflect on good times. I love the lyrics too especially “but this isn't the end of our story”

85.Side note: It's implied Baljeet picks Nerds of a Feather as his favorite summer moment. He has good tastes!

86.The overall message is great too: It's alll about the time you spend with your loved ones,. It reflects the show./ A lot of it was all about the characters.

87.Then comes the fast part. The flow is great and this part reminds us the show was still a comedy. It's more direct in the best way possible.

88.”My mind is blown” Nice.

89.”Oh, but it was fun though”

90.'You just wait 10 years' This got the biggest laugh out of my out of this whole special.

91.”Anyone want some Pie?' I like where this is placed for some reason.

92.And we go back to the sweet part for a great ending.

93.Oh, and actually flat out thanking us fro coming alone is fantastic.

And we so end with the singer going “With you” as Phineas....waves...goodbye. ….+5

98.Seeing that new DTV Logo for the only time reminds me. When the show started, TV Animation was in a bad place but in 2015 it got a lot better and this show arguably lead to that. It ended right when it needed to. Nice.

99.I'll end these wins with something very cheesy. You say Thank you for Comin' along. I say....you're welcome.

EPISODE WIN TALLY: 99

REWARD: Complete box set of every episode that should exist, Disney!

Well, there's a win record, fitting enough than for episodes I like more, interestingly enough. My defense for certain elements, as well as the breakdown of the final song are too blame here.

So...yeah, there's the finale, sinned and winned. I'll save further deep stuff for OWCA  but for now, man is it weird to get this far, at the real finale. I guess I'll see you this Wednesday as we finally close off Phineas and 'Ferb Sins with The OWCA Files.

Thanks for reading and see you next time for all that.
