I understand why people make human Perry the Platypus mute, since his original character doesn't talk the way the rest of human characters do in the show. I can see that it's interesting to keep that non verbal part of his character.

But like, I'm sure that if Heinz took the time to learn platypus the same way he learnt whale, he could actually talk with Perry. Maybe Perry wouldn't talk a lot, but he would respond if prompted, would maintain conversation. (They kinda already do? But that's besides my point)

So while I like and understand mute Human Perry, the closer to canon in my opinion is for him to speak. Perhaps be a quiet guy who doesn't say much or who usually waits for others to speak first, but he does answer and talk out loud.

#this goes for any mute perry be it by birth injury trauma or choice #it is a common trope in fandoms to make character that barely speak or dont speak in canon use sign language #which is really fucking cool #but yeah I feel like with Perry in particular the closer to canon if he were a human is not him being mute #will I still enjoy mute human perry works and headcanon Oh You Bet I Will. keep it up guys #this is just an observation #actually. an afterthought:#is the reason for mute human perry or sign language user human perry...#... the fact that we make him use sing language as a platypus in the first place?#and it just carried over?#probably.#but my point still stands #phineas and ferb #pnf #perry the platypus #im tempted to tag as perryshmirtz even if there is nothing about them specifically they are always there as a thought #human perry #human perry the platypus #DID I WAKE UP AT 6 AM UNABLE TO GO BACK TO SLEEP UNTIL I WROTE THIS POST?#YES.
