Fletcher: Can't spell autism without knowing how to spell! Fletcher: Give me an A!

[raining-anonymously]

i can’t think about ferb or i get emotional about how phineas always makes sure to include him and even though they don’t talk so much the rest of the gang clearly enjoys his company and like. he’s a valued member of any group he’s in despite having a quieter presence. he has a flat affect but he isn’t made out to be emotionless. not even a little! he very much has a personality.

no one ever pushes him to talk more than he’s comfortable with. are there jokes about his quietness? sure. but they’re never mean. even in the group musical numbers! the kids perform a song together, but ferb doesn’t have to sing even when everyone else does, but he’s still there dancing / playing instruments with the rest of them. he’s included!!!

a lot of his lines are to share some fact that he thinks is interesting. he’s a genius. he’s a silly kid. he’s musically gifted. he wants to direct movies. he hates being interrupted.

basically ferb fletcher rocks

have a handful of phineas and ferb characters in my style 🤘

[pain-is-too-tired]

Was thinking about this last night

But I always tend to give Michael like truth related abilities? With Apollo sometimes being referred to as a god of truth and such

I always kinda imagine it like Apollo Justice from AA's abilities or whatever-

The point being-

I'm just imagining him having not been at camp long before Luke's betrayal, and not knowing about his abilities yet-

So he has this general bad vibe about him sometimes not knowing it's just his body reacting to Luke lieing about certain things to cover up his stuff going on behind the scenes and what not.

Which just really funny cause he doesn't know why he doesn't like the guy, he just knows he doesn't and everyone else does.

"He just gives bad vibes Lee."

"Why?"

"Idk he just does. Maybe cause he hates cats. That's a big red flag."

"Not everyone has to like cats Michael."

"Preferring dogs over cats is fine, hating cats? Walking red flag, Lee. Walking red flag."

"Oh my gods Mikey-"

BRACKET 1, FINAL MATCH

[gh0st-patr0l]

I need 2 talk abt why I think the Kyle turn happened bc I can't stop thinking abt it.

I think it has to do with Kyle's sense of loyalty in general. Bc like. Kyle's been wrestling since he was fifteen, and almost ALL of that has been as a tag team wrestler (His first gimmick was in a tag team, and 467 of his 673 matches have been tag matches, which doesn't even include singles matches fought while he was otherwise in a team, of which there are many). He's a team player by nature- and when he joins a team or a partner, or otherwise makes an ally, he's fiercely loyal and devoted.

We've seen that since he and Will reunited in AEW. Kyle was always there to support Will, throughout everything, even when Callis was trying to keep them apart. He fought MJF, who he knew would pull something dirty and try to destroy him, solely to defend Will's honor and against Don's wishes. But he's also stuck by the family, even when Don mistreated him, because of that loyalty.

But that's the other edge to his loyalty- that devotion is first and foremost what matters to him, above everything else, including morality. That's why he and Davis played heel often in Aussie Open; their ethos is that all that matters is that they're together and winning. Fuck everyone else, as long as we're on top (That was also the idea for Schadenfreude in its iterations).

And that's where the clash happens. I think the first nail in the coffin was obviously losing that tag match, and the screwdriver situation. Think about it from Kyle's perspective- he floundered after Davis first left, and he's been struggling ever since, with everything he has to get any kind of gold or recognition on the main stage, to climb the ladder, to know he can be good enough on his own.

And then there's Will- his best friend, whose back he's had for years, who's perfect and incredible and makes everything look so easy, who can just jump up to the top of the card without breaking a sweat. And he can't be mad at Will for being good, it's not his fault that he's so astoundingly talented but it can't be easy to ignore that Will is like that and Kyle just... isn't. He's always good, but never good enough- he's always the "wanna-be Ospreay".

And then they get this tag title shot, and Kyle thinks that maybe this is it, this is finally his chance. Don gives him the screwdriver and he knows it's bad, but fuck it, this is for them, for himself and for the family and more than anything, for him and Will- and then Will stops him. He tells him that being right, doing it fair, is more important than them. And then they lose, and Kyle is right back where he started. And that's where the resentment begins- no doubt stoked by Don and Takeshita, who've both already decided at this point that Will has to go.

Because how is that fair? That Kyle has been there for Will through everything, that Kyle would do anything for Will, but Will won't return the favor? And maybe that's not fair, that shouldn't be something to expect from someone, but it's the truth. Will's been Kyle's first priority this whole time, but for Will there's always something else- a rivalry or a title or a cause, and Kyle's always second. Will won't suffer from this, really- he had the international belt, he had Ricochet to worry about, main-event matches already lined up. This was everything for Kyle, but for Will, it was just a side gig. And that fucking hurt.

So maybe, now, it's time for Kyle to put aside that devotion, and start thinking about his own self-interests.

Autistic Characters Being or Wearing Purple (For Autistic Peeps) (Part 3)

[dademigod]

I wish to take the Backyard Gang and throw them into a contraption that transforms them into playdoh and then I want to take them in my hands and squeeze them so hard they seep through my fingertips like strands of spaghetti

[your-favorite-is-neurodivergent]

Ferb Fletcher is autistic!

this is: fanon!

Ferb has a plethora of autistic traits, such as:

•being nonverbal

•Usually expressionless (photo not a good representation)

•Special interests

In the context of the story:

Ferb is known for being the quiet one of the duo, only talking every once in a while. Luckily, Phineas knows Ferb so well that he’s able to understand what he’s thinking. Ferb has an intense lack of body language, usually standing stiff. He rarely ever shows any expression on his face, when he does, it’s usually when Phineas is as well. But even when he met Vanessa and fell for her, his expression still stayed very neutral. He has a special interest in inventing and building.

[catgirltitties]

I feel like Whiplash is the movie that best represents my personal autistic experience

[musicallyfomentingchaos]

Not to add to my WIP list but what if I wrote a fic where Phineas and Ferb went to a realistic public school and had a teacher who didn't believe in ADHD and thought nonverbal kids just need to suck it up.

What if they both love summer so much partially because they both dread the school year

And then what if they have that one teacher who themself is neurodivergent and recognizes how smart and capable they are.

What then

Fletcher friday!!
