Linda Flynn-Fletcher

I think Linda Flynn-Fletcher is potentially one of the most misunderstood characters in the show.

It think comes from a natural enough place. Her role in the show is of course, to act as the potential threat to their summers of fun. While they boys never see her as a threat, narratively she's the big bad. If she sees it, its game over.

Here's the thing though. She's a not a bad mom. Her children LOVE her. Similarly to how Phineas and Ferb absolutely adore Candace and would do nearly anything she asked, Phineas, Ferb and Candace all love and respect their mother and don't disobey her. Now a bit of this is clearly Linda being a more permissive parent, but any rules that Linda has Phineas and Ferb never do anything to disobey their mother. While I wouldn't be surprised if there were one or two instances where Candace disobeyed her mother willfully, the closest I can think off off hand is Candace not doing a bunch of chores that she was supposed to do. Really, the fact that all her kids love her, shows how much all her kids feel loved in their household. And I think that's super important. Candace wrote a song about how much she feels loved by her mom, even if her mom is dismissive of Candace. But she still goes with Candace to see what the boys are up to even if she doesn't believe it. She sets boundaries on how often Candace can bust the boys sure. But she hasn't forbidden Candace from doing it altogether. Nor does she punish Candace for presumably lying?

At MOST Linda will say something like: "let's get you out of the sun" after a failed bust. The worst of it I think is probably the time Linda made her promise not to try or suffer the Pharaohs curse. Which, was just some guy in a Pharaoh costume telling Candace curse you. Linda goes out of her way to read books to try and deal with her daughter. She and Candace still clearly hold a lot of affection for each other and do spend a decent amount of mother daughter time together. Linda gives books to her daughter, tries to direct her to other activities, and finds her sleep busting cute, and sometimes goes out of her way to do activities her daughter wants to do with her. All things considered Linda is REALLY patient about Candace's busting. Could she be doing more to get to the bottom of why Candace is presumably acting out? Sure. But Doofensmirtz could also be doing a better job of listening to his daughter and not insulting her (or do we not remember why Vanessa wears earbuds around the house) but we all call him a really good dad.

A LOT of shows have kids hiding a secret from a parent for one reason of another. But while the crux of the show rests on Linda not knowing what her sons are doing, its not because its a secret. The boys aren't hiding it from her. The boys genuinely believe she knows. Lawrence genuinely believes she knows. Candace is the only one in the family who really grasps the situation.

Linda's ignorance, her disbelief of the wild shenanigans that her children get into is easily mistakable for normality. For representing the oppressive day to day. The same thematic antagonist as school. A mom who wants whats best for her kids, and thinks that whats best for them is them being normal, without realizing what's really best for them. After all why else we saw what would happen if she found out in Quantum Boogaloo. But the fact of the matter is aside from that one future (which also featured an effectively evil leader in Doofensmirtz, and therefore implies more factors at play than just Doofensmirtz and Linda's characters), we don't really know how it would play out in the long term. Future Linda even just kinda moves on after discovering the truth.

Linda is exactly like her kids. She just does the same things on a less physics breaking scale. The woman has like 37 different hobbies. She takes a cooking class, donated an art sculpture, is part of a jazz group. She has a background in astrophysics. She was a pop star. She won a meatloaf contest. She takes french lessons. The fact that Linda has several hobbies is part of the reason the formula works at all. Linda is constantly trying new things which gets her out of the house, while her sons are trying their own new things. Her absence is what prompts Candace to have to go looking for her. Also, What Do It Do when the moment Linda gets put in Candace's position she acts the exact same way.

Also it's why she and Lawrence are so compatible. They have a lot of weird hobbies they spend together. She likes Lawrence's history references. They watch car racing together. They went spelunking together. They go bowling regularly enough to have equipment. She has played the bagpipes while Lawrence danced (which sidenote: do you think she taught Candace how to play the bagpipes?).

Not to mention her extended family. Think about it. Her mom was a competitive roller derby skater who once bit a skate and shook it like a dog with a chew toy and pulls elaborate pranks with her identical twin. Really she's a lot like Candace with her aggressive passion. Her dad apparently won a balloon race, but tells the story in the most straightforward way possible, sometimes very oblivious, but is overall a lot like Phineas. Her sister is an adrenaline junky. And back to Quantum Boogaloo for a minute: Her granddaughter is just like Candace, Grown up Candace is a lot like Linda. Do you not see the implications!!?!?!? LIKE???? DO YOU NOT REALIZE THAT LINDA WAS PROBABLY A LOT LIKE CANDACE AND PHINEAS WHEN SHE WAS YOUNGER?!!?! YOU THINK IT SKIPPED A GENERATION OR SOMETHING???

Do you think Linda used to complain about Tiana??? Do you think Linda thought her family was weird and was embarrassed by them??? Do you think Linda ever called herself the only mature/normal member of her family?? LIKE CANDACE DOES????

Anyway, Linda is just like her family. Sure, she is RELATIVELY more normal, but that's relative, and probably simply because the universe bends itself around to keep her from knowing. Linda literally cannot find out about the real nature of her universe. Linda is just a grown up version of her children, seeking to make the most of each day, but within the bounds the universe has set upon her, both as an adult woman and mother, but also in the laws of physics expected of her. But she still makes the most of her life. You don't have to build a roller coaster to make the most of each day and all that.

I think if Linda is representing anything its that even parents can have rich fulfilling lives. Where they make the most out of each day. Having fun with your life doesn't stop with adulthood. Even if you have more responsibilities doesn't mean you can't have fun? Sure childhood is something you can't get back but growing up isn't inherently bad either?

#pnf #phineas and ferb #linda flynn fletcher #The woman is a former pop star #and has a secret background in astrophysics #you would think that would be enough but nooo #i generally don't care to comment on the suspected neurodivergent status of cartoon characters #because neurodivergency exists in the context of society #and cartoon characters exist in a completely different context #and when characters are inspired by real people (like Linda being inspired by Dan's sister) it can get messy #but if Phineas and Candace and Doofensmirtz are ADHD so is Linda #she just has adult woman flavor ADHD #aka the reason that woman and girls go underdiagnosed or are often diagnosed with anxiety instead #I think we often don't recognize how frequently she forgets things #I'm thinking back to that one time she forgot the “stuff” at the grocery store #she stayed up all night making last minute pies #working up to the deadline on an art sculpture #at one point runs out of contacts (presumably because she forgot to get more) #gets overwhelmed when planning the block party #and that's just what I can think of off hand #anyway I will not stand for Linda slander

the urge to literally show up at my groupmate's doorstep just to tell them to do their part in our term paper

#cielle's diary — 🖋️ ! #im not mad or anything but like #ive been trying to contact them all afternoon 🧍‍♀️ #the deadline is literally tomorrow PRINTED

[pelahnar]

I need this message to sink in for myself and probably other people do too:

The WORST thing that will happen if you apply to a job is that you won't get a response.

That's the absolute WORST. And if don't get a response the reason could range anywhere from "this is an awful resume/cover letter and they have no right to think they could get this job" to "this was a good application and it just missed the cut-off from getting an interview because there were several slightly better."

So dear self: there is no reason not to send in applications - especially to jobs you don't necessarily even want, as practice - just because you don't think your resume and cover letter are perfect yet.

#I had to do the best/worst response thing several times over the last couple years #what's the worst thing that could happen if I email my advisor and say I want to finish my degree after 2 years of no contact? #she'd say no the deadline is past #what's the worst thing that could happen if I reach out to an expert in the field I'm researching and ask for an interview? #she'd say no she didn't have time #and since all other responses were better than that #I convinced myself to do both and both worked out great! #thank you Karina Farek for writing that comic years before I knew drawfee was a thing #it makes it so much easier to try things

Ghost Swap - how to post

June 19th is the big day! For the widest possible understanding of “June 19th”. Follow the time zone of your heart. Whenever it’s June 19th somewhere in the world.

Here’s the deal:

Post your work (or works, if you made extra treats!) AT ANY POINT OF JUNE 19TH, any time zone.

You are free to crosspost your work anywhere or even post somewhere else (for example, a fic on AO3, fanart on deviantArt) and have your Tumblr post be a link to it. All I need is the existence of a post on Tumblr and no additional logins required in order to access the work (for example, no links to friend-locked dreamwidth posts)

Tag your recipient, #ghost trick, #ghost swap in addition to whatever else you tag your stuff with

@ your recipient and maybe acknowledge the exchange in the work’s description. Anything conveying the general sentiment of “made for @recipient as part of @fyeahghosttrick‘s Ghost Swap exchange” would be nice. If you want to say what the prompt was, that’s cool too.

FOR THE PROLIFIC TREATERS: please don’t let Tumblr eat your work. Any tag only shows 3 of your posts per day; when you post another one, the oldest one won’t be featured anymore. If you plan to post more than 3 works, I recommend to post your personal masterlist as a separate post after them so that’ll stay in the tag! If you don’t want to do that, give me a shout so I’ll know to look through your blog for FYGT’s closing ceremonies

It should go without saying, but please show appreciation for your gift - and for any other work that catches your eye! Likes, reblogs, comments, if you like a work make yourself be heard!

[mona-liar]

Oh my group and I are so gonna fail this analysis the prof is literally telling us all our limits make for really shitty unusable results

#now if he had told us this earlier instead of one week before the deadline for our plan... #fuckhead we literally already did everything in matters of contact WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL US EARLIER THAN WE WOULD HAVE PLANNED DIFFERENTLY #oh well we'll work this out this evening with the rest of the group

[marketa]

finally starting my thesis after already having like three months to start it and JUST NOW i’m realizing that my research questions are stupid….

#the first deadline is at the end of april and i havent even contacted my supervisor yet… #like i do want to postpone the deadline to end of june which is possible but how do i tell my supervisor #that i wanna kinda change my research questions despite barely researching them

[slowcurse]

saying yes to every single opportunity that comes to me bc i am soooooo stupid

#i was just contacted by a gallery for a group show please pray that works out #all of my deadlines are at the same time :)

[the-kipsabian]

also lmao i havent received rejection emails in a while since i didnt apply to anything the entire last month, oh how fun that you have returned to me again disappointment in my ability to go for entry level positions /s

#i think theres a single place from my 10 january applications that hasnt responded yet. so im considering it as good as gone too #and we are now hitting the incredibly awful times for job searching since basically all summer jobs are gone so applying to anything is bad #the only good thing is that i have no deadlines or requirements as of right now. i havent been contacted by officials since my last ones #expired in january but i keep being able to file for unemployment benefits so. idk man. i dont wanna contact them cause then my four #applications a month requirement returns and its SO fucking stressful #like maybe thats why i was much better last month. i didnt have to do that. i would have sent out applications even without the requirement #if there was places but there were like. nothing. so i didnt. and i feel sooooo much better about it #like ofc i would like a job still. obviously. but at the same time when i didnt have to send useless applications that just made me feel #fuck awful and useless and all the other negative emotions? yeah i do feel better. ''surprisingly'' lmao #..im just rambling at this point wowie anything to procrastinate starting a fic i guess lmao #night is an absolute mess on main

[psychoticwillgraham]

stopping for the night, but I just accidentally started working on my first costume, an upcycle of an old size 4X colorful suit that I never even got to wear, so if I fuck up there’s no harm done. im gonna have to basically reconstruct the ENTIRE goddamn thing. like taking in the sides, chest, shoulders (still keeping the ridiculous shoulder pads tho), arms, and back. like, significantly. AND I’ve gotta cut off half of it to look like this reference that im trying to recreate:

#when I say it’s massive on me I mean MASSIVE #like u could fit two of me in it #and im tiny as fuck now and have to deconstruct AND reconstruct the entire thing pretty much #have I ever done any major alterations on any piece of clothing ever? no #especially a whole ass suit? definitely not #im honestly expecting to fuck it up pretty bad #but I might surprise myself since im taking it slow #since I haven’t been contacted about any bookings yet #so im not putting a deadline on it #if it DOES come out rlly good then I’ll plan a number around it for my first booking #if I can pull this off then I can do ANYTHING #it would be a pretty damn big serve if I can pull this off #and I’ll impress everyone even more #realistically tho it’s probably not gonna be good enough to wear #but I have motivation and a dream. and sometimes that’s good enough

[estrangedfiances]

i think john lennon shouldve started opinion columns during his "house husband" era

#1. genuinely think it wouldve done him good to have a place to express himself creatively and also to have deadlines/more contact with the #''real'' world #but most importantly 2. i think itd be fun to have that backlog to read #give him a place to rant !!! enrichment !!! #my sister adds that she believes he'd be ''so nora ephron about it''

[unxpctedlygreat]

Out of spite against my newest job counselor, I sent applications to three job offers that she didn't send me and have yet to answer her email

She's gonna harass me about it for sure but hey

#morgane's talking alone #one has a limit in like. May. so i doubt id be chosen any time before that #the others had a shorter deadline but they're also more in contact with people #and in 'bad neighborhoods' of the city which i guess might be why the jobs are open sdfggjd #ehh i dont think id be chosen anyway

[nature-played-a-trick-on-me]

Headache and big sad. Goal is to get dressed and get a chocolate croissant at the store + something for dinner. That way I'm forced to get dressed + have easy tasty food.

#completely malfunctioning over school stress #evil to set a deadline directly after a 2 week break because i just cannot contact anyone to be like hi i am not well not coping

[sameeyeszine]

We are entering the final week for applications! As such, I’ll be circulating the post that includes the links more frequently. Reminder: the portfolio submissions form will be open until November 12, an additional three weeks after the application form closes.

#if you’d like to apply and are worried about the deadline please contact me so I can do my best to work with you #I’m happy to help!

multidisciplinary fields i love you

#going from reading hard science isotopic studies #to ethnic boundary maintenance theory #to labour and capitalism #to the hierarchical intimacies of the senses #sometimes i get so stressed about deadlines i forget that this is actually fun and interesting #archaeology :))) #like yes tilley i know youre talking about phenomenology but talking about how taste is the most intimate of the senses because #it requires taking things into your own body #vs sight which is the most distanced and is basically just remote sensing and therefore less intimate #like.... alright king let me use my academics for my art #To be a good phenomenologist is to try to develop an intimacy of contact with the landscape akin to that between lovers. like okay......
