”I’m drunk and I hate everything but you. I love you a lot.” + lumax. cause, not to be dramatic or anything, but I’m DYING for lumax content rn

[A/N] This was such an adorable prompt! Im sorry it took me forever to finish it. I was struggling with one of the scenes, so I just included a real life situation and it helped a lot (the one with the jocks and beer pong lmao). I really hope you enjoy!! 💖💖💖

“Why would anyone need a house that big?” Max scoffed, looking up at the almost mansion sized home. The party had barely started, but already the lawn was crawling with people.

Max really didn’t believe Stacey Altman when she said she was inviting the entire senior class, but now that she was actually here, she would call that number an understatement. She supposed the large turnout was probably thanks to their team winning this years homecoming. A loss probably wouldn’t have resulted in the debauchery she was sure was taking place inside.

“Yeah, isn’t Stacy an only child too?” Will sneered. The Party, like everyone else, had each been handed one of the obnoxious green and gold invitations. Their school colors, a vaguely terrifying picture of their mascot, and bulky block letters that looked more like a ransom note than anything else.

At first, they all agreed not to go. Parties were lame, and none of them really even cared about Football. Then, Max had gotten bored, and El was easy enough to talk into going. One convincing led to another and now everyone was standing on the Altman’s lawn and looking at the house apprehensively.

“Are we going to go inside? Or just keep standing here?” Lucas finally asked. Max, determined to have a good time, took that as the motivation she needed. She grabbed his hand and pulled him into the house.

The scene before them was pretty much exactly what they expected. Loud music blared out of speakers from somewhere in the living room, and dozens of people danced around the space. The kitchen counters were covered in drinks and bowls of chips that no one was actually going to eat. Beer pong was set up in the dining room, and a group of football players were doing keg stands in the backyard.

It wasn’t like this was the first party they had ever gone too, it was just the biggest.

Max felt a little overwhelmed. She pulled Lucas and El into the kitchen, and poured each of them a drink from the horribly sweet, red concoction in the punch bowl. All three made dramatic grimacing faces as they took their first sip. The drink was bitter, and stung like rubbing alcohol, but the aftertaste was worse; Cough syrup and cheap wine.

“Are you losers drinking tonight?” Max asked the other boys, holding out another solo cup. Will and Dustin happily obliged, but Mike mumbled something about being the ‘designated driver’ and Max rolled her eyes. It’s not like they did not live close enough to walk or anything.

The party awkwardly hovered around the kitchen for awhile after that. They watched the party happen around them, making fun of people for one thing or another. After a few minutes Max could feel whatever it was she was drinking start to polish the edges of her perception. Jokes were funnier, sensations further away, she felt warm. It was a good feeling, and fast acting too. She filled up her cup for the third time.

Like all parties, however, the group you go with dissolved pretty quickly once people get acclimated.

Will was the first to get pulled away. A boy he knew from his art class waved him over and the two disappeared upstairs. Max and Mike gave each other raised eyebrow looks because Will was definitely blushing. Unbeknownst to Will, they had a running bet about how long it would take for them to start dating.

Next to go was Dustin. Throughout high school he had become quite the ladies man, and he was determined to chat up Haley Jones, his current crush. Actually, crush was an understatement, his new obsession was more accurate. Not in a creepy way really, more in just a painfully devoted loyal sort of way. It was sweet, and definitely really fun to make fun of him for.

Then it was Mike and El. A song came on that she actually liked, and she pulled him towards the large group of people dancing. Mike wasn’t really a dancer, and honestly neither was El, but they could certainly make the best out of it. Max watched them get swallowed up by the crowd until not even Wheeler’s mop of hair could be seen.

So it was just Lucas and Max, both whispering to each other about people from school acting like fools, and laughing so hard they had to hold onto the counter for balance.

“Do you want to dance or something?” She asked, finished off her third drink.

“Naw, but beer pong might be fun. I gotta use the bathroom and then i’ll be back.” He winked and pinched her waist as he left. She made heart eyes at his back while he walked away. She poured herself another drink.

Then things got… fuzzy.

Another massive group of people showed up, people Max had never even seen before, and the crowded house got that much more crowded. It was so goddamn loud. The group made a beeline for the booze and Max stepped out of the kitchen and out of their way. Now she was just hovering by herself at the edge of the living room. Where was Lucas? Oh right the bathroom! Jeez, he’s been gone for a long time.

A loud crash and the sound of people cheering caught her attention. Drink in hand, she shuffled her way towards the sound and into the dining room.

The dining room smelled overwhelmingly of beer and that same fruity cocktail mix that was currently making her brain fuzz. Max watched for a moment, a group of boys playing beer pong. Sticking their grubby hands in and out of the cups of booze, plinking the ball back and forth across the table. It was disgusting. Hadn’t Lucas said something about playing this? Maybe she should just wait here for him.

A big sweaty looking football player, sporting his Letterman like a coat of arms, stuck a hand in one of the cups to retrieve the ball. Max grimaced.

“You should really be using water.” She scoffed as another cup fell over, washing sudsy beer out onto the floor. They guys all turned to her and laughed.

“Water doesn’t get the job done.” The sweaty football player knocked his knuckles against his head.

“Yeah, plus, the alcohol like, kills all the germs.” Another jughead added from where he was leaning against the wall.

“That’s so ridiculously untrue.” Max chuckled.

“Yeah well, it’s more of a boys game anyway. Wouldn’t want you to get your pretty little hands dirty.” The sweaty guy replied nonchalantly, and lined up his shot.

“Oh, you’re so on.” Max would never admit to it if pressed, but she was so competitive that it almost wore her out. That fact was doubly true if the person egging her on was getting personal about it, and the fact that she was a girl? Yeah, that was pretty damn personal. She chugged the rest of her cup and moved to one end of the table, across from sweaty.

He raised his eyebrows but nodded, and put all of his cups back in line. “You need me to run through the rules, princess?”

“Throw the ball into a cup, if it gets in the other person takes a drink. It’s not rocket science.” She brushed her hair out of her face. As much as she wanted to kick this guys ass, she was also way to out of it to be truly pissed.

For most of the game, it was pretty much a stalemate. He got a cup, she got a cup. He drinks, she drinks. The beer is warm and salty and she tries not to think about how many hands had been in that cup. They had been right about one thing though, water certainly wouldn’t have got her feeling this way.

Then, one well placed toss. That’s all it took. A cup of jungle juice spilled over, cascading red liquid all across her white shirt. She looked down at herself in horror.

“You son of a bitch! You did that on purpose.” Max had no way of knowing that but it wasn’t a hard guess.

“Not me babe, it’s all part of the game.” Sweaty snorted, high-fiving one of his friends.

She would see about that. Anger sobered her. It took less than five minutes for her to get him the rest of the way out. Plink, plink, plink, plink. The rest of the room cheered for her, and egged him on. Chanting for him to chug when he finally lost.

“Wow Mayfield, im impressed. You didn’t come here with that loser boyfriend of yours did you?” Sweaty asked, lowering his gaze at her from across the table.

Suddenly she felt sick. Like really sick. And drunk, really drunk. She looked down at her shirt and back up at him and all of the other boys who were staring at her. She needed a bathroom.

“Fuck off, meathead. I don’t date dogs.” Max was seething now, she turned and walked out of the dining room. It took her awhile to find a bathroom, and every step felt more and more heavy. More and more fuzzy.

When she finally did, she sighed in relief and closed the door behind her. She did not want to throw up. She sat on the edge of the bathtub and tried to just breathe deeply, in and out, find a little bit of clarity. The party sounded really far away. Where the hell was Lucas? Where were any of her friends? Time moved so sluggishly that it was hard to tell exactly how long it had been since she last saw them.

She heard voices right outside the door, and the knob jiggle.

And instead of acting like a regular normal person, and standing up to let whoever it was use the restroom, she let herself fall back into the bathtub and closed the curtain behind her. This is a good idea Max, they will do whatever they need too and then leave and you can calm down.

Max recognized the voices to be that of Stacy, the party thrower, and Valerie, Stacy’s best friend. They sounded about as drunk as Max felt.

“Thank god, a little bit of quiet.” Stacy sighed as soon as the door latched closed behind her.

“I know right? At least it’s a good turn out.”

“Yeah I guess, but a lot of people showed up who I totally didn’t want to be here.”

“Oh drama? Go on.”

“Well like, when you invite nerds, you don’t expect them to come. I was just being nice but they had to actually show up. Did you see Henderson talking to Haley? Like he stands a chance. What a loser.”

“Oh I know! And all of his nerdy friends are here too. At least the rest of them date amongst themselves.”

Max was practically vibrating with anger at this point. No amount of ‘Just stay and wait for them to leave’ was helping. What if they kept going? What if they kept saying worse and worse shit? It was their shrieky and slurred laughter that finally pushed her over the edge. In a flash, she ripped the shower curtain back open, and from her place in the tub she stared daggers at them.

“What the hell-” Stacy began, looking totally appalled.

“Listen, Stacy! The only reason so many people came to your party is because you have a big house and free booze, not because anyone actually likes you! The next time I hear you talk about my friends i’m going to kick your ass!” Again, fueled by anger, Max easily rose to her feet and stepped out of the tub. “Oh, and that dress looks terrible on you.”

Sometimes you gotta fight shallow with shallow. Besides, it was an ugly dress.

Max wasn’t even listening to whatever they were yelling at her as she left. She flipped the bird behind her back as she went. It was so loud out here. She was so angry. Where the hell was lucas!?

She stumbled her way back through the house, avoiding the dining room, weaving around groups of people and spreading through others. How many living rooms did this place have? It took ages just to get from one side of the house to the other. Eventually, she found herself once again in the kitchen. It smelled so strong of booze that the nausea she had bated off was back, and kicking. She felt her skin ripple with goosebumps that was followed by a surge of heat. She really didn’t want to be the girl who pukes in the sink at a party.

Just then, a cool breeze nearly knocked her over, and her attention turned to a small side door.

Outside! Her senses screamed. Quiet, fresh air!

She was moving before she even finished the thought.

Max let the door slam behind her as she stepped outside. The lawn was pretty much empty, aside from a few people sitting around a small bonfire at the opposite end. She walked sluggishly toward the end of the porch, and sat with her legs dangling over the edge. The sounds of the party were further away now. She took a few deep breaths to try and clear some of the brain fog that had crept in. You never really notice how drunk you are until you’re alone. If she could just chill like this for a little while, her stomach would calm down and everything would be fine.

What a stupid party. What disgusting idiots those football players had been. Why was Stacy so vile? Max was kicking herself for being the one to suggest they come. Right now they could all be in Wheeler’s basement playing a board game, or at the cabin watching a movie. She was so worked up about the whole thing that she could feel her skin heating up.

A few moments later, she heard the door open behind her, but she assumed it was just someone else looking for a little bit of solace. Then that person walked towards her, and took a seat next to her. Their legs touched the ground where hers just swayed above.

“You doing alright out here? Lucas. His voice was quiet and when she looked at him he smirked, a beer still in his hand. It was probably only his second, maybe third. She felt embarrassed.

“Im fine.” She snapped back, and then sighed, letting some of the tension leave her shoulders. “I’m not fine. I’m drunk and I hate everything.”

“You hate everything even when you aren’t drunk.” His face was so sobering. Like he could see through her bullshit, but he was still validating her feelings. Gentle.

“Not you.” She let her head fall against his shoulder and her whole body went with her. She was lucky he was strong enough to support the both of them because she basically gave up trying. “A revision. I’m drunk and I hate everything but you.”

“Well in that case,” Lucas wrapped an arm around her waist, pulling her snug against him. She felt him kiss the top of her head and she sighed contently. “Do you want to talk about it?”

“Im sure I will when im sober and can actually like, you know, formulate thoughts. I’m sure you’ll hear all about it.”

“Okay good, i’ll be waiting then.” He was quiet for a moment, and she relished in it. “Instead, can we talk about how cool it is that you beat the football team at beer pong?”

Even though her eyes were sagging closed, she could hear the smile in his voice. She groaned. “I don’t want to talk about that either. They’re gross. I drank shitty warm hand beer.”

“Okay, well, is there something you do want to talk about?”

She adjusted so she could look up at him, but no further than necessary. “Where were you? I haven’t seen you all night. And, how did you know I was out here?”

“Oh, uh, yeah. I kinda got caught up in a pool game. Did you know that the basement is like a full game room? And then someone wanted to play Foosball… It got out of hand. Also you literally almost knocked Will over in your mad dash to get outside. He told me you looked upset.”

Max snorted, and then laughed, and then she was laughing so hard that Lucas had to keep her from slipping off the edge of the porch. “Are you serious? We lost each other because we were both goaded into playing stupid games at this stupid party?”

“I guess so.” Lucas smiled at her, and the warmth of his hands bled through her shirt, making her shiver. He was so god damned competitive, and it was one of the things she loved about him. He was also, however, really god damned handsome and sometimes it still made her knees weak.

“This party kind of sucked.” She finally admitted.

“Yeah, it kind of did. It would have been way more fun to just sit out here.”

“Totally.” She snuggled in closer to his side, “Or… if we had, I don’t know, found one of the hundred rooms in this big stupid house and made out for like, an hour.”

“Hm, yeah, you’re right. That would have been better.” He was silent for a few seconds. “I’ll race you to the top floor.”

“Oh you are so on, Stalker!”

Instead of bolting, Lucas helped Max to her feet, and instead of racing through the house, it was more of him pulling her by the hand really quickly. Weaving in and out of groups of people, and rooms, and hallways. Once they finally got to the top floor, it was a guessing game as to finding an actual available room. They pressed their ears to a lot of doors, and were met with a lot of ‘Fuck off!’ and the usual drunk party girl crying. Luck finally came to them in the form of an oversized storage closet.

Needless to say, it turned the whole night around. More laughing and knocking things over then anything else, but he kissed her tenderly when she wanted him too and held her tightly when she needed him too. He always knew exactly how to make her heart quicken. They made a damn mess in that storage closet, essentially turning old camping gear and extra linens into a pallet on the floor. And there were the golf clubs they had knocked over, and whatever that thing was that fell and shattered. But that was Stacy’s problem.

Lucas always seemed to know the exact right things to say and do. It blew her mind that less than fifteen minutes earlier she had been rightfully angry on the back porch, and now she was lip locked and laughing. His hands tangled in her hair and she was glad she had taken El’s suggestion of bringing a brush so that she wasn’t such a hot mess when she got home. Her stained shirt was another issue, but right now she was just happy to be able to lay her head on his chest and listen to the party from what felt like far away

It was in this contented lul that he spoke again, softly, holding her tight against him. “How are you feeling? Still drunk and… hateful?”

“Yeah. Still drunk. I still hate everything but you.” She giggled, and cuddled even closer. “I love you a lot.”

He kissed the top of her head. “I love you a lot too, Madmax.”

As soon as the sounds of the people started dying down, they made their way hand in hand back downstairs; giddy and flushed and looking totally guilty.

They found Will first. He was almost as blushy as they were, and he said goodbye to his friend from art class in hushed tones before they left.

Then they found Dustin, who had passed out and was using a dog as a pillow. He was definitely the most wasted somehow, and Lucas practically had to carry him to the car.

Lastly, Mike and El found them. The couple were also holding hands, and also looking incredibly guilty. Well, Mike was. El looked so casual it almost through Max for a loop. She was actually thankful that Mike had stayed sober, because there was no way in hell she wanted to walk anywhere right now.

They crammed into Mike’s car, with El at shotgun and Dustin draped across the laps of everyone else in the back.

“So, uh, did you guys have fun?” Mike asked as he pulled the car out of its spot.

Max looked at Lucas, blushing all over again, heart beating fast, and smiled. “Yeah. Lots of fun.”

Lucas could make even the worst night into a good one. A great one. One she was excited to rant to him about all over again tomorrow.

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.

#Season 4 Wins #Season 4 Sins #Special Wins #Special Sins #last day of summer #Phineas and Ferb #Buford #Baljeet #Phineas #Ferb #Candace Flynn #Doofenshmirtz #Norm
