Thinking about how when they’re afraid, Phineas and Ferb hug each other, but Isabella, Baljeet, and Buford all hug Candace. She is THEIR big sister too and I will die on this hill.

Can I just say the storyboards for Step Into the Great Unknown highlight even further what the song itself was already highlighting. Because the song is basically just each member of the gang one by one deciding to commit to finding Candace.

It starts with Phineas, he's been Candace's little brother literally his whole life. We see the most of their relationship. There is very little that fazes him, and he wears his heart on his sleeve. He adores his older sister and would go to the ends of the earth without hesitating for her. He's an inspirational type of leader, so he tends to be the one to provide the gang direction and encouragement when they start showing doubts and that's exactly what he does here. The one who kind of lays out the situation to the gang but also is the first to affirm he's going anyway.

And then Ferb. He's been Candace's little brother for years now too at this point, and of course he stands by Phineas for most things. But this movie does show that Ferb cares just as much about Candace in his own way, with what he chooses to say and the affection Candace gives him. He's a man of action so he demonstrates his position by quietly joining in the dance. And Ferb is almost always on Phineas's side, but while Phineas is defined by being completely unfazed by nearly everything, Ferb DOES get fazed by more than Phineas, though less than the rest of the gang. He's generally cautious about supernatural threats as such, so unknown threats would be something that are more likely to give him pause even if they aren't supernatural per se, and we've seen him avoid Candace before due to this aversion. But aside from that aversion he is usually as unfazed as Phineas. Of course he wouldn't leave either of his siblings hanging.

And then Isabella joins in the song. The girl across the street. Who has also known Candace for a long time. Literally future sister-in-laws, but already basically sisters. Isabella and Candace sort of have a relationship built on mutual understanding. They occasionally talk together about crushes, and team up when a situation is gender specific. Candace is one of Isabella's fireside girls. Of course Isabella would join. She's said no to Phineas about dangerous things before, but only rarely. When someone they care about is on the line, there's no way. She's as tough and doesn't hesitate to put herself in danger unless there is literally no reason to. Candace is more than enough reason to. For this she'll follow Phineas to the end of the universe, and take the lead if she has to.

Buford and Baljeet are the last to join. They've only been part of the gang since this summer. So they're the most hesitant. And I do think when it comes to personal safety they are a bit more sensitive (see Buford freaking out NOTLP, Baljeet being paralyzed by indecision in Primal Perry, Buford freaking out about Baljeet's safety in the Beak... those two are the most prone to panic in general). But when push comes to shove on something as important as saving the tri-state area, or rescuing Candace, they're in on it too. They don't really WANT to deal with all this scary stuff... but to them the alternative of not going along isn't an option either.

All of these kids love Candace so much. She may be obsessed with getting her brothers caught, but in the process she's become big sister to all 5 of them. I've said it before I'll say it again. I LOVE the sense of community in the series.

And it's so uncommon for the kids to be nervous about something. So the fact that they are nervous does help raise the stakes a bit. And Phineas has to muster all of his leadership to say hey: This will be scary, you don't have to come but I can't just leave her. And the other kids going. Yeah well. Not without us.

They just all care about each other so much.

It’s possible I’m biased as someone who’s working towards an education degree, but I genuinely think Doof’s redemption arc would’ve hit better post-series if they stuck with him being a science teacher. For one I genuinely enjoyed Doof101, it was nice to get a different setting for once. And Perry being his weird little teacher’s assistant who makes sure he doesn’t blow up the place was fun. But also like, one of Doofenshmirtz’s big character traits is being a dad. He is literally good with kids, albeit in a dorky sort of way. But a dorky personality is pretty much expected for science teachers. I could definitely see him getting a reputation as the teacher that’s “a little out there but really fun to have. also gives advice about things like college if you ask—he has some bit about going to evil school but other than that solid advice”

[cuepickle]

Can’t decide if they fought each other or together

Demi-Humans

[lavalave]

Draw the squad like this

[dallasgallant]

You think Darry just opened the curtains while doing the dishes and saw the Soc’s whomping on Pony in their backyard?

He’s not even a full house down that’s a safe zone, man!

[bippercraycray]

Yes I still love Barney the dinosaur I don't care what others think!

Currently watching childhood nostalgia for me

[momphineasandferbmadeablog]

the backyard gang playing mario kart:

ferb: silently in first place. doesn't even need to use items because he's just that good. probably has all the racer and kart stats memorized.

isabella: just behind ferb, and furiously focused on trying to beat him for once. also having a silent battle with buford, shoving him whenever it looks like he's going to pass her.

phineas: middle of the pack and completely content. talks through the whole round about how they could go about building real versions of the karts and the tracks.

buford: near the bottom because isabella keeps shoving him, and also because whenever he gets a shell, he sends it backwards to hit baljeet instead of using it in a way that makes sense.

baljeet: if it is possible to fall off the track, he is falling. if it is possible to get turned around and go backward, he is going backward. if it is possible to run into obstacles, he is running into them. honestly, it is impressive that he still agrees to play at all.

[lavs-ve]

Isabella is definitely "Watcha doin'?" i wonder why /j

Phineas is "Kick it up a notch" idk why, its just the first that popped up to my mind followed by Phinedroids and Ferbots, which is even weirder

Ferb is "My ride from outer space", the first song that popped was "I'm me" buts that song is forever reserved for Vanessa

Baljeet is "Gimmie a grade" duh (no but like litterally does he even sing solo any other song? Not counting his version of CAAMH)

Buford is "he's a bully" no because how can i not think of anything better with him and Baljeet, they have a lot of songs!

Okay now lets go with duos

Phineas and Ferb are "Today is gonna be a great day"

Phineas and Isabella are "in the city of love" even tho i hate(/j) the song lol

Baljeet and Buford are "Frenemies", did ya expect something else??

Buford and isabella are "Footbal X7" for some reason

Phineas and Baljeet are- nothing really. same with the other possible pairs. That kinda makes me realize that we got way less dynamics inbetween the gang then we should have

I hope they fix it in the reboot

Genuine question:

Which pnf song do you associate with each of the main cast? Like if i ask you to think of an isabella song for example whats the first one that comes to mind?

[captainmera]

Your art, I am going to eat it.

Please do not resist

[stitchwraith-stingers]

people who don't care about the parts in a show that the fandom goes crazy about are the strongest soldiers
