Day Two, Part 1: Let's Talk Plot Points and Cliches

As we begin Day Two, looking at the different themes, plot points, and cliches of "Act Your Age", it is important to remember that Phineas & Ferb as a show not only uses many common tropes and cliches, but also makes fun of and at them, during various points in the series. Even in the songs "Carpe Diem" and "Hey Ferb", the word cliche is mentioned, which brings additional substance to that fact.

With that, a few of the plot points, tropes, and cliches from "Act Your Age" are:

-- The biggest plot point of course is Phineas finding out through Baljeet and Buford that Isabella has had a crush on him for a long time, a secret that they decided to let out as she was leaving town (Ohhhhhhhhhh do I have thoughts about this 😠🤨)

-- Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz going through a mid-life crisis, which included a myriad of common cliches including hair-dyeing, purchasing of fast exotic supercars, jet skiing, and skydiving

-- The boys and the girls being in separate groups, gossiping about each other

-- The rather toxic teenage relationship between Baljeet and Ginger, with both the manipulative and jealousy tropes being mentioned

-- The crew re-joining to make a "romantic dinner" setting, in an attempt to get Phineas & Isabella together

-- Phineas and Isabella unknowingly singing a Duet together, "What Might Have Been"🧡💗

-- Phineas and Isabella reuniting in front of the Flynn-Fletcher house, talking together, confessing, and realizing that they've had crushes on each other (Isabella for at least a decade, Phineas since High School). This leads to a hug and a kind moment between them, and soon afterwards at the crescendo of the episode, their first kiss!

-- Other random common cliches/topics/moments include the boys always looking for food😂, the teens talking about College, and at the end, Vanessa picking up Ferb in her own Supercar

_____________________________

To keep this part short, I am only going to focus on a couple of these points today, with some of these topics to be brought up on one of the following days… And I am going to start with the big one…

I knew going into this that there were only two things that I was going to be genuinely upset about writing (the second thing will be on Day Four/Part 3), and what is so disappointing is that for whatever reason this was made into the main turning point of the episode…

Why exactly, in all that is holy and good, why did after at least a decade of silence did EVERYONE, and particularly Baljeet and Buford, decide it was ok to tell Phineas Isabella's biggest secret, that she had a massive crush on him throughout their childhood, and more importantly, feel it was ok to tell him this as she was LITERALLY WALKING OUT THE DOOR?!😡

In what world is this even remotely realistic, even marginally logical, to first keep a secret that important for that long, but then to just freely spill that secret like it was nothing, and then to add insult to injury, tell Phineas all of this as Isabella was literally about to drive away. It's like they all got hit with a green beam that made them think that this would be a good idea all of sudden. It's completely absurd and is the #1 part of this episode that I would change if I had that ability. (I could keep going about this but it's probably best for my sanity that we move on🤣)

-----

The other point I want to bring up today is a more general theme that the episode has, primarily it's abundance of cliches, both of the teenager kind and the mid-life kind. Now, I want to be clear, I do enjoy cliches, particularly of the romantic kind (so many Phinabella fanfics have cliche endings and if the story is good I'll love every single one of them!🧡💗). However, both the amount of cliche moments and the kind of in your face level of them, I don't know, in my personal opinion it didn't come off quite as humorous as it may have been intended. It's very possible that this may have been because I was looking and expecting for something slightly different, after having made the mistake of reading so many great P&F fanfics before I got to watch AYA for the first time.

In addition, particularly when it came to Doof's mid-life crisis, it felt in large part like it was done to fill time, and didn't exactly mean anything to the episode, which I understand happens in some of the P&F episodes, but it just felt more random then usual. This isn't to say it wasn't at all funny, because by itself it was, but in terms of the whole episode and what I would have expected, it just wasn't quite the same.

I know today's portion of the mini-series was a little bit down, but this is like a rollercoaster, and oh am I excited for tomorrow, as we get to talk about in my opinion one of the best characters of this great show!💗

Until then, Carpe Diem, and God Bless!

I really wonder if people are going to think I'm obsessed with turtles - I showed an earlier progress picture to another teacher at school and he joked that there was a theme with me since I made our class charter look like a turtle and had the whole class make origami turtles on the first days

Act Your Age: Ageing Gracefully Part II . Man of Means . No need for flash in this bracket. You got all this attention seeking out of your system a long time ago. Now you’re comfortable in your own skin, and you know what you like. Now is the time for the classic patterns and the classic fits. Of course it takes a certain robustness and confidence to carry it off, but no time like the present! You could try a classic paisley pattern, such as our Devendra, or maybe something more understated, such as the stylish polka dots on our Nazario. A pocket square can be your friend here too - a pop of colour such as our Sylvester, or a classic pattern such as our Xavier. Remember less is more here, think classic and discreet. Real confidence doesn’t have to shout. . . . . . #menswear #actyourage #dressingwell #dressingforyourage #mensfashion #mensaccessories #menstyle #mens #forhim #fathersday #giftsforhim #giftsformen #sartorialist #sartorialstyle #madeinengland #beardedgentlemen #beardgang #beard #chap #london #suit https://www.instagram.com/p/CAau6wCJ5T1/?igshid=18mqauj08l5tv

Someone said to me, I’d look much younger if I shaved off my beard. I asked why would I want to look younger? They didn’t have an answer for me. 😜 #medieval #beard #nononsense #actyourage #old https://www.instagram.com/sirjustyn_medieval_knight/p/Bwl187dH1k5/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ntgbt9pwg2vx

I’m pissed.

Mkay, so every fucking person that is sending threats to writers, voice actors and artists; You need to grow the fuck up and learn some common decency. This isn’t okay, not even in the slightest. I am done with seeing you guys treat them less than human. They are people.

It isn’t okay to threaten physical harm on anyone! ESPECIALLY BECAUSE OF A SHOW MADE FOR Y7+! You are an adult, fucking act like it! And if you aren’t an adult, you are most likely old enough to realize that that shit isn’t okay. Not even in the slightest. You think I’m heated now???

You all are ruining it for us. The ones who ship something, or want something to happen? You guys are shoving it down their throats without allowing them a chance to breath first.

Grow the fuck up.

And I’m not just talking about Klancers. I am talking to Shaladin’s too. Calm to fuck down and buck up.

Zak’s New Whip

OMG I just can’t stop laughing that Zak as a 41 year old calls his new car a “whip.”

I'm sick and tired of manipulative BS filled people. If you can't get over the fact that were not friends anymore then you need to grow the f up..... stop acting like a child and he the adult you say you are. #stopbullying #cutoff #donewithit #getoutofmylife #childish #pettypeople #actyourage #actlikeanadult (at Georgia) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpfV_C0D36Z1GodH-VRh7lc5TkZChG86lUoLvg0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=zzjbsm898pee

Day One, Part 0: Introduction

Hello to those in the Tumblr-Verse who may pass by, and welcome to what I hope will a fun written mini-series, documenting my thoughts about my favorite animated show, Phineas & Ferb, and particularly what for all intents and purposes was the culmination of the series, "Act Your Age" (even though there is actually a series finale episode after it, but we're gonna ignore it for the sake of this😂).

What will this mini-series entail you may ask? Well, my hope is to be able to go through some different topics, themes, & moments in the episode that interest me, and share my thoughts about them. Now I'm certainly not the 1st person to do this, and won't be the last, but ever since I've been on IG I have really wanted to share how I felt about AYA, and what better way to do so then during this time, as we count down to Phinabella Day on 2/9! 🧡💗

In addition, I wanted to challenge myself to be able to give quick, concise thoughts, cause I'm not good at not writing a billion words for everything🤣. With there being 9 days of this mini-series (including this intro & a special message for the last day), I plan on going into 6 topics and then give my conclusion about the episode as a whole.

- 2 Things I want to note:

#1: These are just MY OPINIONS. Some of them are going to be positive, while others are going to be less so, but I am doing this for a fun project, and am not expecting this to be an "end-all be-all" so to say. I will have absolutely no qualms if you disagree with me, but just know that I don't want to get into a big fight over the internet about it, this is just for fun😂

#2: I will be mainly focusing on the Phinabella & friends portion of the episode, so there won't be Doof & Perry, or Ferbnessa (although that is something I would like to approach later on)

---

Ultimately, I hope that you may enjoy the ramblings of a dude who "Couldn't Help Falling In Love" (^_^) with a beautiful series like P&F, and the amazing messages of friendship, family, always trying to make the impossible possible, never giving up, and yes, even some love thrown into the mix.

Come join me as we dive into Phineas & Ferb: Act Your Age, and count down to Phinabella Day!🧡💗

Girlguiding is joined Children in Need this year with the #ActYourAge challenge where you do something the number of years old you are.

So I've challenged myself to crochet 22 wee turtles - because why not? It's not like I have loads of other stuff to do right now 😂

I've completed the first three and made the shell for my Pudsey-themed turtle (because I naturally have to make a Pudsey turtle, it's for Children in Need!)

So, we attended the concert this evening at our town’s larger park. I was being a turd and a half, and mama’s back was hurting, so we left early. Fun fact: unless I initiate cuddling, I’m not usually happy being held. I don’t growl, I just pout. Daddy was holding me because I was acting like a six month old and not a two and a half year old. So. Much. Energy. So. Much. Sass. And when you hold me, you take my crazy away! 🤪 #actyourage #imstillthebaby #babygirl #imthebaby #stillcute #puppypower #girldog #bostonterrier_feature #bostonterrier #redbostonterrier #bostonterriers #redbostonterriersofinstagram #sillydog #divadog #dogdiva #actingafool #somuchenergy #ornery #ornerydog #trouble #troublemaker #mooresvilleindiana #shegrewupinanindianatown #pippa #pippasqueak #squeakpippa #dogsofindy #indybostons #indydog #indydogs (at Pioneer Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFn20s1j32w/?igshid=1cvd9fev2zkg5
