ok not to put too fine a point on it but! but!!! there's something deeply funny to me (ha-ha funny and "hm, interesting" funny) about how Phineas and Larks' relationship is comprised of meetings and partings. their journey through s2 is repeated instances of them going "well, I guess this is the end of the road together, goodbye forever" only for Third Person to be like "ten minutes later, Lark caught up with Phineas and insisted that they were just traveling the same way, don't make a big deal out of it". and this happens, like, THREE SEPARATE TIMES, before Lark catches up to him in the s2 finale and explicitly says, "I'm coming with you."
and! like! Lark is old and cynical and Phineas is young and idealistic- and more to the point, Phineas is that awkward age where he is young enough to be in need of guidance (so young. he is baby. baby boy) but also old enough that Lark won't feel pressured to be his mother (like she did with Tzila). and to be VERY clear, I don't want Lark to be Phineas's mom. (reluctant older sister? maybe. crotchety old aunt? sure.) but most of all I just want them be- well- friends! I just! think it would be neat!
