legit tho do you guys remember how goddamn hardcore the phineas and ferb movie went. they were like "oh yeah we're making a movie for this happy episodic lil comedy show. in this movie they travel to another dimension where they're under a despotism and the main villain physically mutilated and enslaved his nemesis years ago and the happy optimist character's counterpart is terrified to go outside and the teenage girl whose main personality trait in the mainline is 'getting her brothers in trouble' is now the leader of a resistance at 15 and doing everything in her power to keep her brothers safe including sacrificing our heroes if need be. half the characters' friendships are broken and the other half don't know each other. at one point everyone is almost fed to a monster over a pit of lava. also we are now playing baseball with platypus tails" and 11yo me was just like "neat"

I'm on season 4, although I've been into PNF for a couple of days. I need to take a break, otherwise I'll squeeze out all the juices too early...

[clownowo]

been going insane over Phineas and Ferb all week. I can’t stop drawing them. mostly Isabella. I love them. so much.

I just realized that it’s extra hilarious when Phineas tells Perry “we do not bite the elderly” about Doof when you remember that he and Linda are the same age.

i don't know… i just can’t stop thinking about how candace’s resistance is entirely made out of kids.

[diogee-in-places-he-shouldnt-be]

Put him somewhere in the Second Dimension.

Diogee, go home!

He’s not supposed to be in Charlene’s No Longer Married To Doofenshmirtz Penthouse!

AT2D on my mind

Perry Polls

Pretendy the Practice-pus. ''I wonder if Perry the Platypus practices with a fake me? It would be nice to know he cares enough''

Bobble-head Perry the Platypus. ''What? That's a... it's an arts and crafts project! I've got a life outside of you!''

So recently I got back into PnF and have been marathoning it (to catch up for the revival), and I finally rewatched at2d again. I have no idea if anyone else has talked about it, but how did Perry create the necklace key, the homing device inside it that led to his lair, as well as that replication machine that replicated all of Phin's and Ferb's inventions?

Like, if Perry really is monitored nearly at all times, how was this possible? How did he get the technology? When could he have even gotten it installed? Could it be possible that maybe he got insider help from someone in OWCA (Carl maybe?) or... Just maybe... Perry could have gotten help from Heinz? The amnesia-inator is a thing after all, so he could have mind wiped whoever helped him just to ensure that no one knew about all of this. (Because clearly if Monogram knew about it, he'd instantly have it all shut down and potentially relocate Perry immediately if not jail him like other rogue agents).

Anyway, I hope you don't mind me dropping this on you! I was just curious to see what others might think!

Nonnie, I do not mind at ALL, and i always love love love listening about AT2D and lore theories.

Dwampy is a fan of handwaving lore implications in the show.

HOWEVER. The replication machine WAS mentioned, i think, at the beginning of the movie. The analyser is in Perry's (and likely every other active field agent's) hats. Monogram says they use it to replicate and reverse engineer evil inventions, both for their own use (see the re-modded "Amnesia-Inator"), and also analyse if any of Doof's inventions get smarter ("jury's still out").

But consider; being able to FIT a 3D analyser that works with such terrifying efficiency in a collapsible fedora implies that invention is small, durable and practically unnoticeable. So theoretically? If Perry could get his hand on the analyser, he DOESN'T have to be in the backyard. At the end of every work day he STILL gets to see whatever it was the boys worked on, and keep those plans in a personal archive (probably the same archive he uses to store the edited BFF photos with Doof and the AT2D photos with the boys) for what if situations.

The replication machine is probably accessible to ANY agent with the right kind of security clearance. As we know, from "Where's Perry," and "OWCA files" Perry's security clearance is PRETTY GODDAMN HIGH, since his biometrics are the only ones registered as a backup to un-initiate Doomsday lockdown protocols. He's probably what we call a gold access card for Danville's OWCA division: what Perry wants in his lair, he gets.

He doesn't have to be at home to see what the boys get up to in the backyard. The Flynn-Fletcher house is DROWNING in OWCA cameras and speakers. A security measure both for family's safety, as well as a precautionary measure against Phineas and Ferb's evil potential. Like we KNOW the genius scares OWCA, low key. (See Carl Undercover). I know the movie wants you to think Perry's secretly there all the time for sentimental reason, but like. Yeah that doesnt make logistical sense.

So yeah, Perry can't logically be there all the time for every invention what with how they work him to the bone, but he DOES see every adventure, collect every invention, and he DOES have access to OWCA's replication machine.

The homing device as a spare key to the lair AND the secret data archive is exactly what Phineas says it is: a blatant show of trust. It is absolutely impossible to think of it as anything other than Perry having SPECIFICALLY anticipated an emergency scenario where he CAN'T be there for the boys, one way or another, because of OWCA or some other evil thing. At this point, Perry's been hunted, captured, relocated and almost KILLED both by OWCA and other villains. His worst nightmare is of his family taken hostage. After the events of Carl Undercover he knows he can't trust his employers, not completely. And while he loves and trusts Heinz to not endanger the boys so long as he is kept oblivious to some CRUCIAL information, that's still too high of a risk.

That key, and everything the boys see, was Perry saying, "I do. I trust you. I was there in spirit for every adventure you've ever been on, and no matter what, I have your back. I TRUST that you have mine. I TRUST that you know the right thing."

And to make that key the locket on his collar, with a picture of his boys? It's saying "I trust you because you mean as much to me as I do to you. I trust you because you are family."

Nonnie, I'm sure you don't need me to tell you how absolutely HUGE that is. Perry has very valid abandonment and control issues, and he is NOT easily impressed. I choke up, watching that scene. I still do.

TLDR; there IS a rational explanation to the replication machine that is Perry-going-behind-OWCA's-back related, and sadly not Perryshmirtz related. Honestly using the amnesia machine is possible but probably not too well thought out, which would be uncharacteristic. Perry loves and trusts his boys a LOT, and also hes an overthinker. Valid. What's new?

When I start watching a new show about alternate dimensions and when they ask how to travel between them they aren't told 'if you travel through dimensions going clockwise makes it easy, going counterclockwise would take 8 million gigawatts of energy overloading the local power grid' </3

[thedailyplatypics]

One thing that makes Phineas And Ferb Across the 2nd Dimension so incredibly sad to me is how the character we’ve come to think of as invincible and unstoppable is completely helpless to stop everything from happening to the people he cares about and they also treat him like garbage for half of the movie.

Perry absolutely freezing and looking completely helpless here is depressing.

This one is the most devastating.

It bothers me so much, but in a good way and makes the pay-off at the end all the more better.

(Omg did anyone notice Perry also hugs him with his tail???)

Actually cried to this scene last night wth.

just a random bunch of 5 Phineas and Ferb images

[lieutenantselnia]

I was looking through my 2D Doof image folder and randomly came across this picture I didn't remember I had saved, please he looks so adorable😭💕

[supersmashbrandon97]

This is the 2nd Dimension counterparts of Gretel and Kevin. Doof's tyrannical reign didn't affect the two and Hamster (and their family and friends) due to the main Hamster & Gretel series taking place in the 2020s. However, their parents Carolina and Dave told them about the story about the Tri-State-Area being ruled by the ruthless Doofenshmirtz Family that was later defeated by the Resistance and the 1st Dimension people. Unlike the 1st Dimension Hamster, Gretel, and Kevin. This universe's Kevin got superpowers from the aliens. Later, Kevin expected his dream job to work for the Krusty Resistance, a restaurant founded by Candace Flynn and Jeremey Johnson
