Phineas and Ferb headcanon time

Disclaimer: One of the things I really pride myself on when I'm constructing headcanons is their ability to comply with regular canon. I am going to painstakingly cite my sources (mostly episode names) as I go.

Ever since Candace Against the Universe happened last year, people have been talking about two things: a third season of Milo Murphy's Law, and a third Phineas and Ferb movie. (Both entirely deserved, I would say, but then I'm biased.) This is the headcanon I would construct a third Phineas and Ferb movie around. And yes, I'm aware that I've put a lot of thought into this. It's what I do when I can't sleep. Like now.

One thing I notice is that each Phineas and Ferb movie so far has been in one sense or another based on the thematic conclusion to a character arc for a particular character who isn't Phineas or Ferb. I suppose it's fair to say they don't really need that kind of closure because they're largely wish fulfillment characters and actual character conflict is alien to them.

In Across the 1st and 2nd Dimensions, the character in focus is Perry, who finally has to deal with what happens when the boys figure out his secret identity and how they react to it. It also turns "Where's Perry?", Phineas' eternal catchcry at the start of each day, into something a little more emotionally resonant than a running gag - the question of whether Perry was ever actually there to have fun with the boys over their summer. Of course, the conclusion is, he was, and he appreciates their genius enough to- I could go on about this, not the point.

In Candace Against the Universe, the character in focus is Candace, who has to deal with meeting an actually evil brother-busting version of herself, and has nearly her whole identity deconstructed for her by Super Super Big Doctor before Phineas and Ferb reconstruct it. Again, I could go on.

But who could be the focus of a third movie? Ferb has hidden depths, but no real conflict. Buford has a lot of hidden trauma, but so far the writers have been savvy enough to keep that implied and off-screen, instead letting Doofenshmirtz, a fully-grown adult, shoulder the burden of a comedically over-the-top traumatic childhood. Doofenshmirtz himself? I mean, it's true that he has a lot of issues to deal with, but most of those have been solved by Last Day of Summer, and even more of them were solved (finding a purpose in becoming the future Professor Time) by Milo Murphy's Law. Baljeet? I'll be honest, I don't find him that engaging a character on his own. Isabella? Her only conflict was solved rather sweetly in Act Your Age, and I wouldn't want to write anything that could affect it or recontextualise it.

The answer is Linda.

It has long been a point of speculation in the fandom whether Linda knows about Phineas and Ferb's prodigious engineering and physics-defying abilities. Either interpretation has implications for her character, but neither seem flattering. If she doesn't know, then she really does just have a deficit in her perception of things, which is boring. The joke gets very played out and ridiculous, even at the best of times. If she does know, however, why doesn't she let Candace in on the fact that she tacitly supports them? Why would she allow Candace to wear herself out day after day in service to a punishment that Linda is never going to dish out? I don't want to throw around terms like "abusive" or "gaslighting" when we're dealing with, essentially, a light-hearted children's wish fulfillment cartoon. But there is clearly a conflict there. Linda at all other times seems like a fundamentally good person, albeit one who's extremely chill about everything.

Yet the evidence continues to mount that Linda knows something is up: she purposefully directs Candace's attention to Phineas and Ferb in Christmas Vacation to distract her from her self-esteem crisis; she seems unfazed when she sees their actual invention for real in Interview with a Platypus (apparently not busting them for it because it's an animal translator - adorable and not particularly unsafe), and she celebrates them developing a passion for building things in Thaddeus and Thor, albeit only seeing the first storey of an 11-storey wooden fort. Moreover, it's revealed in Face Your Fear that Linda has a background in astrophysics, that she tries to keep secret. It's entirely possible that Phineas inherited some of his scientific genius from her. Meanwhile, Lawrence seems entirely unfazed when actively participating in Phineas and Ferb's schemes (Father's Day and It's a Mud Mud Mud Mud World to name a couple). You'd think if Lawrence knew, she would at least have a clue. To top it off, Linda's own voice actress believed that she was clued in. But why not at least let Candace in on the joke? Why continue to have her believe that she's intentionally playing favourites and Candace is the odd one out?

So here's where I would go with this.

The Phineas and Ferb movies have done alien abduction, they have done alternate dimensions, but although there were some episodes about it, no movie-scale stories about time travel. Which really fits as a kind of completion of a trifecta of classic sci-fi tropes you can fit Phineas and Ferb around (for all that the three have at least been toyed with during the actual run of the show). This is also relevant because while, in the P&F/Milo Murphy crossover, we did get to see a glimpse of Professor Time, we never really see Doofenshmirtz grow into that character in present time.

In the 1980s

Linda, in her Lindana persona, is riding high on the success of I'm Lindana and I Wanna Have Fun, maybe even performing a concert, when sinister time-travellers from the future burst in and attempt to capture her. A friendlier time-traveller, who in my head is Vinnie Dakota from Milo Murphy's Law, helps her avoid them. Surprisingly, this is not Linda's first rodeo, and she proves adept at grasping the realities of time travel, and capable at fending off the sinister time travellers with a number of tricks, but is confused as to why such people would want to target her, a pop star. Dakota tries, in his own laconic but careful way, to explain that the whole scenario is a bootstrap paradox, but he has to explain it without creating any further bootstraps.

Linda(na) is no fool, and quickly sees through his leading questions; "Hypothetically, how do you feel about having kids - what would you consider an optimal number?" Accepting that there's certain information she shouldn't be allowed to know (for example, if Dakota gives her the idea to name her future kids Phineas and Candace, or god forbid, Ferb, he has just bootstrapped Linda into making choices that she should have been free to make on her own to determine her future), Linda nonetheless gleans the following information.

At some point in the future, some people who are going to be very important to her (her children) are going to grow up to become prodigiously talented with building ludicrously powerful machines, in a way that her background in astrophysics only just hints at (to be clear, she was identified as a threat by the time-travellers for her knowledge of astrophysics, not for being an 80s 1-hit wonder). At some point, her important people (just say it's her kids, Dakota), are going to foil a plot by the time travellers which would otherwise have led to world domination, and so they're coming back to prevent Linda's future from happening in the right way so that the important people can't grow up to stop them. ("Hey, what year is this? Has the movie The Terminator come out yet? Well it's kinda like that.") Those important people are also going to be the ones who bail her out of this situation, hence why this is a bootstrap paradox; without Phineas and Ferb to save her now, Linda can't go on to become the mother of Phineas and Ferb, who will then save her.... Dakota tries to explain this using as vague a set of nouns as he can, to Linda's annoyance.

In the background to this discussion, familiar silhouettes can be seen preventing the time travellers from finding her, defeating them sending them back to their own time. Dakota tells Linda that they have to hide and not look, because the mere act of observing people from her future could create time paradoxes, and he's a fairly chill guy but he doesn't want to create too many of those in one day. He tells her to keep her background in astrophysics to herself if she can; a degree of plausible deniability and perhaps being out of the public eye might keep the heat off her back for a decade or two. At least until the actual attempt to take over the world happens.

Linda, absorbing all this information and having been mysteriously saved by people she's been told are a part of her future, decides to throw a tantrum and abandon her record label to ensure she will be remembered only as a one-hit wonder. Time passes, Lindana fades into obscurity, and over the years, Linda meets a guy and has two beautiful children. Dakota was careful not to mention names or genders, so she chose the names 'Candace' and 'Phineas'. Only something doesn't seem right. As much as you can tell from infants and toddlers, Phineas seems to love everything about physical sciences and related subjects, but Candace won't hear a word of it. Dakota also seemed to think that Linda's marriage would be loving, yet it's not working out for either of them.

Only when she meets Lawrence, and his son Ferb, does she understand what Dakota meant. Lawrence is a passionate repairer of antique furniture, with a penchant for aviation like his father, and Ferb has inherited some of his family's mechanical prowess. Phineas and Ferb will no doubt grow up to be a formidable pair. Letting Lawrence in on her secret past, she resolves to protect the boys and nurture their creative energies as they grow. Lawrence, adaptable and dependable as ever, agrees.

In the 2010s (set 1 or 2 years after the events of "Act Your Age")

Phineas, Ferb, and Candace are now grown up, having spent many summers building things and developing their talents, or in Candace's case, trying to bust them for it. She has grown past that now, and as we will remember, has turned her considerable drive to bust into a very smart Law degree. Perhaps something could be made of Phineas and Ferb, having gone to study at opposite ends of the globe, feeling incomplete without each other (they do their best building as a team, after all). Meanwhile, Perry the Platypus visits 🎶Doofenshmirtz Time Incorporated🎶 (renamed from Doofenshmirtz ____ Incorporated, renamed from Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated, for branding purposes) to discover that Dr. Doofenshmirtz has finally achieved the destiny that was laid out for him nearly 12 years ago: he has built a working time machine that can be mass-produced and marketed towards people other than himself [note: this timeline was laid out in Milo Murphy's Law]. While Perry is initially trusting that these will not be used for evil, and while Doofenshmirtz is congratulating himself on achieving something unquestionably good, a sinister group of people break in to steal the time machines for their own evil purposes. Thanks to Doofenshmirtz's ability to talk under wet cement and extrapolate ideas, he correctly deduces that the "Lindana" they seem to be looking for is Linda Flynn-Fletcher, Phineas and Ferb's mother, but he also accidentally lets slip that she's still living in the Tri-State Area. Abandoning their time-travel plans for the moment, they capture Professor Time/Doofenshmirtz and try to neutralize Linda as a threat in the present day.

Unfortunately for them, Doofenshmirtz rambles about their whole plan very loudly, and he is very easily overheard by a visiting Vanessa... who contacts Ferb... who contacts Phineas... who brings Isabella with him...

...as all four reunite in style to save Linda and a very surprised Candace at Maple Drive. To their surprise, Linda is once again more than capable of handling time travellers herself, displaying skills her children have never seen her use before. Candace, of course, is shocked the most of all.

Meanwhile, the time agents from the future, theoretically led by competent people, but also Dakota and his partner Cavendish, show up to try and stop the more sinister organisation from wresting control of all time travel. Linda explains to the boys that she is going to be attacked by these same people in the past, and they have to find ways to prevent that so that she can survive to raise them - then they can return to the present and stop them in the here and now. She will attempt to hold the line with the rest of the time agents until Phineas and Ferb return, to do the things that they should now be able to do. Candace, unable to believe her ears, demands that she stays with her mother at least until she can get an explanation.

Then the truth comes out: Linda knew what the boys were doing all along, for every day of every summer. She knew perfectly well that Candace was telling the truth every time. But she couldn't bring herself to acknowledge it, because preventing them from building all the cool stuff they build might one day have led to them all being erased from existence, Candace included. So instead she played dumb, relying on the weird tendency for their inventions to disappear without warning to prevent her from having to exercise the discipline (or the blatant favouritism to wreck Candace's self-esteem) that Candace's busting would have made necessary. Candace counters that she never felt appreciated or noticed by anyone as a result of this, and notes that even the time travelling people who seem to know how the entire future should go don't think anything of her, the odd one out in a family of prodigies. But Linda assures her that she has amazing talents like her brothers, just in different areas. She can make the time travellers regret not factoring her into their plans.

Meanwhile, Phineas, Ferb, and the usual gang time travel through various points in Linda's history, including the Lindana concert seen earlier, and learn the hidden depths that their mother has had all these years.

I like this story (that I constructed entirely in my head over several weeks and only just wrote down now) because it presents a lot of opportunities:

Another chance to see Phineas, Ferb, and the rest of the gang as adults.

A chance for Linda and Lawrence to showcase the parts of themselves that the ever-prodigious and talented Phineas, Ferb, and Candace inherited from them.

A chance for Dr. Doofenshmirtz and Linda to finally reconnect, only to discover that each other's ambitions (which they discussed the night they went on a failed date) came true.

A chance to see Doofenshmirtz in his slightly more capable Professor Time persona.

Settling a long-running mythology gag once and for all. You see, Linda's voice actor Caroline Rhea doesn't actually sing "I'm Lindana and I Wanna Have Fun"; Olivia Olson, who normally voices Vanessa Doofenshmirtz, does it instead. In Ladies and Gentlemen, Meet Max Modem!, Linda quipped that she always lip-synced the song when performing it. Suppose the gang discover that one of the evil time travellers has engineered events to prevent Lindana from making it to the recording session for what would eventually become her most famous hit song - effectively preventing her from becoming Lindana (and inspiring her childrens' very important musical gifts) in the first place. How can they resolve it? Lindana from the past can't see them, so they can't help her directly. But even if Lindana did lip-sync at all future performances, they need someone in the here and now to look the part of Lindana. Someone to dress up in garish 80s fashion and wear a huge orange wig. Someone with a really good singing voice. Vanessa sighs deeply, swears the entire group to secrecy, then dons the entire trademark Lindana outfit, and surprisingly nails the song in one take. Everybody respects her sacrifice of punk/goth cred for everyone else's sake. Lindana herself, showing up hours later, is perplexed when the studio tells her they love the song she recorded, but she can't argue with the result. Hence, it's not just that Olivia Olson provides Lindana's singing voice, but Vanessa Doofenshmirtz herself was the singer of the song.

An opportunity to cross over at least a little bit with characters from Milo Murphy's Law without it coming across as gratuitous or forced. Also, easy for any audience members not familiar with MML to understand without too much explanation; knowing who Dakota and Cavendish are in advance is more of a bonus than a requirement.

For me at least, it ticks all of the boxes for everything the fans (including me) say they want. And until we get more Phineas and Ferb content to prove otherwise, this is my headcanon for why Linda knows everything about Phineas and Ferb's inventions but doesn't tell Candace.

i thought doofenschmirtz and charlene were only pretending to be divorced

Nope (his primary source of income is alimony, after all)! Their second dimension counterparts from Phineas and Ferb the Movie: Across the 2nd Dimension/”Tales from the Resistance: Back to the 2nd Dimension,” yes, but not regular Doof and Charlene from the normal PnFverse.

Get to know me!

Tagged by the wonderful @ineverhadadoubt! Thank you Ruth, it was a treat to wake up to and I’ve been looking forward to this all day! <3

1. Relationship Status: Single with exactly zero prospects

2. Lipstick or Chapstick: Chapstick, but I can only wear it while I’m sleeping because otherwise I just have constant fish lips and I can’t eat or drink anything with it on

3. Three Favorite Foods: Pasta (of any sort), peppermint candy, and cheese crackers

4. Song Stuck in Your Head: The thing about being a maladaptive daydreamer is that my head is pretty much a constant mush of every song I’m currently hooked on daydreaming with, and it changes so rapidly that if I’d done this ten minutes ago I probably would’ve said a different song. I’d probably say a different song ten minutes in the future, too. Anyway, as it is, the song that’s been playing in the back of my mind the whole time I’ve been writing this post is 散散駄目調子 by DECO*27 (”Bad Tone #33″ or “An Utterly Hopeless Situation” to English speakers). Which is weird, because I haven’t even listened to it since this morning, and yet my brain is still going “ii jan II JAN” every ten seconds or so.

5. Last Movie You Watched: Uhh... umm... what was it? I know I’ve watched one recently... Oh yeah! I watched Thor: Ragnarok last weekend to celebrate its anniversary.

6. Top Three Shows: I don’t even know, I have like zero time to watch television anymore... Although, come to think of it, I dedicate at least half an hour of every weekday to watching Good Eats (and my Monday nights to its new reboot, Good Eats: Reloaded) so I guess that’s one. I can pretty much always watch reruns of The Big Bang Theory, but I haven’t watched any of the current season (and I know, I’m cringey). I also love Phineas and Ferb. I’ve seen almost every episode and look back upon the premiere of “Across the 2nd Dimension” with all sorts of fond memories. My lanyard is even Phineas and Ferb (and I bought it at DisneyWorld, so it has the pins and everything)!

7. Books You’re Currently Reading: Kafka’s The Metamorphosis for the second time, but not by choice. I have to do a paper on it for my Great Narrative Works class. The last book I actually started reading for myself is The Gospel of Loki by Joanne M. Harris. I haven’t gotten to pick it up in months, and I’m not very far in it yet, but I really like what little of it I’ve actually gotten to read.

8. Last Thing You Googled: mypurdue (and now you all know where to find me)

9. Time: Currently, it’s 5:58 p.m. (I guess that’s 17:58 in 24-hour time? I don’t know, I’m American and I hate it.) I started this post over an hour ago.

10. Dream Trip: I just... wanna go to England... spend the week... drop down to France for the weekend... maybe pop by Scotland or Ireland if I have the time... Ireland is so nice...

11. Anything You Want: I dunno, for my French class to stop being the biggest source of stress I currently have in my life? For the on-campus psychological services to actually help me with my anxiety instead of saying, “Well, we can’t actually get you in for an appointment with a therapist until the last week of the semester, so maybe just buy a self-help book and see if you can wait it out until next semester?” Actually, no, better yet, I JUST WANNA WATCH THE WORLD’S END.

Rules: Tag 15 More People

Do I even know fifteen people that Ruth didn’t already tag??? Well, let’s see, how about my old school friends @knifebee (if that’s even the blog they use anymore, I don’t even know if that’s their main blog orz) and @doggy-daiquiri, who I’m convinced only surfaces once a year. Maybe @the-white-wxlf and @fictionallemons (whose fics I definitely owe a read or twenty), if they’re interested? And @simon-egg (tumblr will not let me tag your main blog I’M SORRY) since we all adore the sideblog?

(That’s everyone I can think of right now but if I left anybody out or you just happen to see this and want to do it please feel free and tag me if you do!)

#why are all my answers so long #why am i always like this #tagged #ruth #long post
