HOW ARE WE FEELING RIGHT NOW HOMEOWNERS

[nepholog]

Do I just make another Tumblr blog for all my Date Everything bullshit (random rambles, ideas, headcanons, Jerma GIFs) or do I just flood this blog instead

[nepholog]

Lux mention! I fucking *love* influencer characters (case and point: Cater Diamond (TWST), Kazunari Miyoshi (A3!), Leo Kurosagi (Tokyo Debunker)). On one hand, most of the time they have abysmally low self-esteem, lack of identity and/or a massive addiction/obsession/need for validation and they crash out when people try to pick under their facade and I want to study them under a microscope.

On the other hand, they are actually that egotistical and shallow and I find that so infuriating, it just loops back to my endearment of them against my will. Annoying goddamn divas. Both cases produce babygirls and I'm all in for it.

Do I want Lux to have more under the surface (and they probably do, but that's just me overanalyzing bits of Dex entry and dialogue)? Yes. Do I think that them staying a shallow asshole is funny? Also yes

Do you guys ever think about the fact, that everything written in Date-A-Dex is implied/outright shown to be written by Skylar herself, so there is a slight chance that the information given in it is not 100% truth but rather Skylar's own perception and judgement and possibly can be challenged in the future? Because I do (No, I am NOT deluding myself into thinking so because I want to believe that Lux isn't completely shallow like Date-A-Dex description is making them out to be and is actually capable of character development and atoning for being such a dick to anyone around them, why'd you ask-)

i've slept 5 hours in the past week

this is for you king

[nepholog]

i had a vision once again

[nepholog]

early canderemy makes me so insane. they're both so careful and restrained, but at the same time, neither of them really make it a secret that they've got feelings. there's like. a slight element of fear there. not because they're scared of each other, but because they don't wanna mess it up

candace being too afraid to ask jeremy to the sadie hawkins type dance in out to launch but once they're there she's saying corny shit like "look it's a shooting star just for us :)"

the pure excitement in jeremy's voice when candace agrees to go to chez platypus with him. like he sounds SO happy when he says "awesome!!" as if she would ever say no.

the shots of them trying to call each other in backyard aquarium. both of them wallowing in equal measure when the other doesn't pick up because they're both calling at the exact same time over and over again. the bit where they both lay their phones on their chest and stare at the ceiling kills me every single time

the end of comet kermillian building up to nothing more than just the two of them holding hands and it still feels like a MASSIVE moment because they've both been wanting this simple thing for years

AND SPEAKING OF. candace records the first time she and jeremy spoke as june of 7th grade, but he remembers borrowing a pencil from her and thinking she was pretty way before that. how long have they been pining after each other? like, seven or eight years by the time the show starts? how long has this song and dance been going on? how long did they spend dealing with their nerves and anxiety? how wonderful did it feel when they got rare moments alone with each other? getting randomly paired to work together on an in-class assignment must have felt like christmas morning to them. they're insane

[nepholog]

Cant sleep. Hey do you guys remember that one PnF episode where Candace thought Jeremy was breaking up with her bc he cancelled a date, and then it turned out he did it to work part time as an ice cream vendor to save up for a SUUUPPER special and sweet meaningful date. The carriage around the park with a real horse. You guys remember?

That was sweet, right? That was romantic. Definitely no arguing that thats such a couples thing to do. And it wasnt really about the money. He wanted to impress her with something beautiful and meaningful just because. He wanted to make her happy, and it was the secret keeping that was the issue here. It was about the gesture and how much he knew she would love it.

I was just thinking about it. No reason. On an unrelated note do you guys wanna see a bunch of pictures.

Hahaha i just LOVEEEE being so random and unrelated. Dont you guys just loveeeeee Perrysh---I mean. Canderemy. Arent they so sweet and romantic. Yeah....

[nepholog]

When talking about why Candace and Jeremy are a wonderful couple, lots of people tend to say it's because Jeremy loves her crazy and doesn't get weirded out by it, but I think it's a little more nuanced than that, in a way that makes it a little sweeter to me.

The thing is--Candace does sometimes freak Jeremy out. And he has occasionally said things like 'you're really kind of freaking me out' and 'okay, you're kind of scaring me now'. But he has also said things like 'Ah, that's my girl' when she goes tearing off to bust her brothers in the middle of dates. These two factors tell me something very important about him--he neither likes her because of her crazy, nor in spite of her crazy. He likes her because she's Candace, which includes her craziness.

And I love that.

[nepholog]

thinking about how fortunate it is that candace fell in love with someone who understands the vulnerability of that situation... like. jeremy DOES recognize that candace is SUPER devoted to him. he knows she would do literally anything for him, he knows how much he has the capacity to persuade or hurt her, and he never once abuses that. he very much makes a point to make sure they're always on equal ground, despite her constantly putting him on a pedestal. it's not just about him liking her back (which he does), it's also him respecting her enough to make sure their relationship is balanced. and you see it level out over time!! by season 4, she's being sarcastic and snarky at him in my sweet ride, a tone she never would have DARED taking around him in season 1. and in for your ice only, when he figures out she's lying to try and impress him, they handle it by knowingly smiling at each other and dropping it immediately. god their relationship is so complex in its sweetness. they care about each other SO much.

[nepholog]

I think the phineas and ferb normie fan opinion that I hate the most is when people say “omg I didn’t realize jeremy liked candace too I thought it was just a one-sided crush.” like what are you even talking about?? their relationship has been totally reciprocal since the beginning. they’re literally dating for over half of the show and they never have any moments where they almost break up or anything, they’re a solid couple.

and I can’t even chalk it up to people only ever seeing the first season because jeremy is shown to be down bad for candace in like every episode. in her birthday episode (which is so early on in the show it’s normally paired with the pilot) he gives her a gift when she barely mentions it’s her birthday. or what about that time when he said his favorite fossil in the natural history museum is the heart that says “C + J” ? or the time when candace is “sneakily” taking pictures of him and he poses crazily for her? or the time when candace asks him to go to a dance with her and he says “I’ve been waiting for you to ask me” ? those are all from season 1 before they even start dating. and they only get more and more canon from there on. it’s so ridiculous to think they don’t love each other equally
