i just need to get this off my chest as a day one Izzy Hands supporter and steddyhands truther— one of the most fucked parts of these first three episodes that I need to see discussed more is that Ed believes that he is incapable of being loved. Ed believes himself to be fundamentally unlovable, despite everything that Izzy has done to prove his love for him.
Izzy has quite literally dedicated his life to serving Ed, to pleasing him, to making sure that he is content. Izzy stays by him throughout his darkest times, tries to help him while he spirals, does everything he can to save Ed from his own decisions. Is it the right thing to do? Is it good for either of them? Probably not. But he does it all because he loves Edward, unconditionally. He lets Ed cut off three of his toes. Let me reiterate— Izzy allows Ed to cut off three of his toes (side note: the way that Ed so casually tells Izzy to take off his boot makes me feel crazy. Is this what he’s done every other time? And Izzy just obeys? Oh my god). Izzy’s love is a twisted, dark and obsessive type of loyalty, but it is love nonetheless and it is love that Ed has had for his entire adult life.
Ed was just so loved, no matter what he did, no matter how far he pushed, no matter how many toes he cut off. Izzy loves him, even at his very lowest. Even when he shoots him, even when he places a gun in his hands and goads him into killing him.
And just think for a second how terrible that must be. How awful must it have been to love someone so wholly that you gladly dedicate your entire life to them, only to learn that they believe themselves to be unlovable. Because if Edward is incapable of being loved, then what did Izzy’s love mean? If nobody can love Edward, then what does that make Israel Hands?

Framing Parallels !!
While on my second rewatch, I noticed that the way that the rowing of dinghies is framed is the same in the first episode. Obviously this makes sense because it is the same torment done to Stede as a child onto the soldier as revenge/retribution. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It is a centered shot with the rope clearly visible in both. The characters are trapped in this situation and have nothing to do but row. The shot gives you little else to focus on because of the sweeping movement of the oars. 
Now this framing is used later with Ed rowing away from the dock in Episode 9. The only difference is the lack of rope, but as this framing has been used before to show a trapped character, it shows that Ed is also trapped metaphorically. 
Tumblr media
He is brought back from his fantasy of running away with Stede and forced to become the mask of Blackbeard again. 
Tumblr media
What is even more poignant is that when this cinematic language is used to show being confined, in the final scene, Stede (on a dinghy) is framed differently. He is finally free. He is not being forced to row. He is choosing to follow his heart against the expectations of society at the time.

Doofensmirtz creating a unioninator in opposition to Roger's anti-labor stance.
Perry is told not to interfere with his inator because OWCA already has union busters on the ground working to combat the new unions. So Perry gets to take the day off bc he is a platypus and doesn't have complex opinions on unions.
Lawrence gets hits with the unioninator and comes back home talking about the union and collective effort and striking. And Perry feels like he should step in bc DOOF is hurting his family now, it's personal.
But then Phineas and Ferb run in and hug their dad, because he was supposed to work a double today and they thought he wouldn't be home until they were asleep. They get to spend the day with each other building nifty gadgets in the garage and having a good time.
Perry then decides that OWCA is in the wrong and goes to the union buster meetings. He sees absurd malpractice to hinder union sign up and springs into action. He does cool spy tricks and scares them off. Then he goes to see Doof to thank him, but then something goes off the rails and the inator breaks anyway.
However, the people of the tri-state area now know the possibility of life with unions and are more likely to vote for it when it comes to a vote. Love handle plays a slow jam about being able to work and have a life outside of that. Perry is seen snuggling up to Lawrence who is working on a passion project he hasn't had time for recently.

Listen I'm aware you all want a piece of this. I understand I'm a hot commodity here on tumblr dot com. But even setting aside wealth and immortality, my husband squeezes the absolute fattest ass you've ever seen through literally billions of chimney flues every December 25th. And every other night of the year, he's with me. And somehow you hoes think you can teach me a trick I haven't seen before? Dream on.

it annoys me when sapphic women see an attractive woman and are like “i’m no better than a man 😳😔” like BABE you are allowed to see an attractive woman and want to fuck her!!! free yourself from the cottagecore PG13 narrative of sapphic attraction, look at her with lust in your heart!!!

A character arc where the character who did terrible things and regrets them is forced to live, to put one foot in front of the other and find healing, who chooses to pour goodness into the world and make the world a better place
Is more satisfying to me than a character arc where the character who did terrible things and regrets them is redeemed through death
99.9% of the time.
