I don’t like the theory that ferris beuller is just cameron’s imagination because it’s so much more fun to believe that there’s a highschool student endowed with trickster god level capabilities & knowledge of the fourth wall who drags his mentally ill best friend around bc he wuvs him

being a 13 year old girl and suddenly having an obsession with the outsiders and 80s coming of age films like the breakfast club or ferris bueller is such a canon event that must not be interfered with.

rewatching ferris bueller’s day off makes me realize how much I used to dismiss cameron growing up. oh he’s just the poor sick kid that ferris messes with when now it’s pretty obvious that cam is the only one who can get under ferris’ skin & make him break character. ferris uses people to further the plot of a script he controls, but cameron pushes back. he’ll go along with the schemes, he knows ferris so well that he knows when he’s been manipulated/guilted (best friends since fifth grade), but he’s also a willing participant. he improvises, and purposefully riles ferris up to make him lose his cool. in the kitchen when he makes ferris apologize for “hitting” him. in the taxi when he says he saw nothing interesting at all, and smiles, all while ferris is fuming crashes a parade & serenades him just to prove him wrong. “ferris bueller you’re my hero”. they love each other and challenge each other and it’s unfair to both of them to say it’s not a mutual relationship
