Haven't watched Phineas and Ferb in forever but. Your headcanons. Hand them over (please.)

hjdfnj aye aye o7 prepare for ferb posting

biromantic ace ferb. yes this is projecting.

the only ‘hetero’ in ferb is heterochromia babey!! i’m considering headcanoning it as acquired somehow but i haven’t done enough research to pin anything down so for now i’m treating it as congenital

had a bilateral cleft lip when he was born, got it fixed with surgery pretty early on but that’s why his top lip sticks out a bit the way it does

autistic and inattentive adhd babey B) of course the entire pnf cast has autism but like. ferb specifically is coded as autistic so hard that even neurotypicals can pick up on it and that’s super chad of him

he’s very prone to sensory overload, mostly with bright or flashing lights, hence why he wears sunglasses more often than anyone else [that i’m aware of] - it’s not as bad if it’s coming from something he and phineas made, because he usually made the lights and knows exactly where and when they’ll come on

he actively dislikes verbal communication in most circumstances, so he mostly speaks out loud when there’s no way of translating what he has to say into nonverbal form or when the situation otherwise necessitates it! generally he’s more chatty with family or close friends, and avoids talking to people he doesn’t know as well [side note i absolutely love how accomodating of this everyone is in-universe, pnf really went ‘nonverbal people are valid and you literally don’t have to force them to communicate in a way that’s uncomfortable for them’]

although he doesn’t necessarily talk much he still vocalises a fair bit, either to communicate or to stim!

he mostly stims vocally by humming or repeating noises, or by hand/arm flapping. also he and phineas probably invented the ultimate stim toy as one of their daily projects so they both have one of those to play around with when they need to stim more quietly

he’s got slight social anxiety, hence why phineas always takes centre stage when they’re presenting their projects to anyone - he knows that ferb hates being the centre of attention, so he always handles interacting with people while making sure to give his bro the credit he deserves

he and phineas have a REALLY tight relationship that i would need another entire infodump garbage ask to cover completely but tldr they’re pretty much the most important people in each other’s lives [at least at the time pnf takes place]. ferb looks up to phineas a fair bit for things like his boundless optimism and creativity, although he can also see right through phin’s social cluelessness and complexity addiction, so it balances out and he never has issues with putting phineas on a pedestal or thinking one of them isn’t good enough for the other

as opposed to phineas’ general naivety about the situation, ferb straight up knows that candace wants them to get in trouble. he hasn’t told either of them simply because they haven’t asked. [also he’s comfortable with the daily routine and doesn’t want to risk changing or breaking it]

i’ve been typing for like a solid hour so i’m gonna stop here whjndkjngdj but thank you for coming to my ted talk!! my inbox is always open if anyone wants to ask after more of my infodumping lmao
