Who’s On My Pride Float!

Soooooooo

I’m making my official recommendation for the girl of the year 2025 (I know 2024 just started but I’m down a rabbit hole right now)

So a lot of us are upset about the fact that there’s a continual of variety in all of the lines that American Girls produces (other than World by us, which is currently one sale and I think that says something)

I know we mostly focus on race but I personally would also like to see so more disability representation (they don’t even have a walking stick or cane available)

So, my suggestion is an Albino girl of African descent with a beautiful Afro who is blind. She could have an interest in anything (I like the idea that she’s a writer) but maybe give her a story about how she stands against the ableism, racism and hairism of the world. There are still little girls who get sent home from school because of their natural hair.

I personally think this would be a beautiful chance to share educate kids of all walks of life about the challenges all types of people face.

Anyway. I was thinking about it.

(Unrelated but I’m about to snatch up an Evette and I’m so excited cause I love her design so much and am so excited to read her story)

Ahhhh I thought I posted this but nooooo it was deleted.

Anyway.

I love Phineas and Ferb

And I like to draw.

Sooooooo

I redrew the Phineas and Ferb gang a bit older and in more modern styles.

So let’s see shall we?

First up we have Phineas!

(Who is totally a trans guy)

I feel like Phineas definitely had some form of attention deficit disorder so I gave him a fidget toy, although I suppose he would probably make his own little gadgets to fidget.

I kept his design pretty much the same as his original but tried to give him a bit of a TikTok boi vibe with the puffy jacket over his pretty standard summer look.

I really wasn’t planning to give him the triangle head and just give him angular features but my friend insisted he wasn’t Phineas without the triangle head, sooooo.

And I gave the boy a butt load of freckles because that’s what he gets for those king summers.

Up next we have my personal favorite, Ferb!

First of, Ferb is definitely non binary he/they aro spec ace. I don’t make the rules. I just head canon.

Anyways..

Ferbs design is pretty much the same just with a bit of a more e-boy vibe.

Exchange the purple high-waisted pants for black high-waisted skinny jeans, and a purple sweater over his white button down.

And the iconic ace ring.

And dyed purple hair because we know Ferb would have that phase.

Also lots of piercings that he probably let Phineas give him and the freaking skater boi vanns.

AYYEEE PRETTY LADY, Isabella!

Preppy fighter girl vibez with this one!

Isabella definitely is an upstanding student but absolutely no one would mess with her.

Again kept her style pretty similar with some more modern touches, changing her overall dress look to a skirt with suspenders and a white king sleeve blouse instead of her original t shirt.

I darkened her skin tone because I just feel it suits her better and put her hair up in pig tails since she’s a very active person and would probably want it out of her face, similar to the braid we see in act your age.

The gloves are mostly fan service to me along with her being a BA.

You know she’d beat the living shit out of anyone who even tried to hurt her friends.

The nerdy babe is up next, Baljeet!

He basically got a similar revamp to Isabella, overalls being replaced with pants and suspenders and long sleeve instead of t shirt.

I gave him the whale dress socks as both a reference to the whalemingos (that his boyfriend won’t shut up about) and as a reference to my irl friend who wears funky socks all the time.

I gave him those cute little glasses because I can see him wearing them as reading glasses and that’s his justification because why else would someone wear glasses that small they are simply illogical-

And the bling.

Pocket watch is a reference to my other friend... and the necklace was just a nice touch.

The man, the myth, the bully! BUFORD!

Ok so act your age did my mans so dirty.

Let Buford be thicc.

I get the long hair, I can see it but also,

MAN BUN.

Otherwise I think Bufords style probably wouldn’t change that much, he’s got that grungey vibe , so I kept his shirt and turned his cargo shorts to pants.

I added the letterman jacket because he probably joined football but I added some patches I think he’d have, like the theater patch as an allusion to his directing passion, the drums from the Baljeetles, and a feminist patch because this man chugs that respect women juice.

And the ace ring because you can fight me on the fact that Buford is a gray ace.

Finally we have the queen of Mars, Candace!

Ok so Candace is definitely a trans girl (future post coming about that)

I can totally see Candace being a harujuku girl, 100% inspired by her obsession with ducky momo, who is on her tank top.

I kept the elements from her initial design like her red sweater, but I lengthens the sleeves and for her skirt I changed the white accents to a trim rather than her belt.

I also added a bunch of references to her personal tirades and just the show in general

For example, Chicago joe and Mary in her hair accessories and the hair wrap around her bun being zebra print, the skull pin from when Buford worked for her for a day and all the references on her shoes.

Anyway...

That’s all for now, if anyone cares to hear more of my Phineas and Ferb rambles, my asks are always open

Or if anyone’s interested in more of my art

Have a swell day!

I had a doctors appointment today and for the first time ever she gave me the review sheet instead of my mom. And I was looking over the review of systems. And the doctor didn’t ask me about any of them. But she denied allllllll of them. Despite my previous claims of cold intolerance, joint pain, muscle weakness ( I was wearing on if my braces for goodness sakes), fatigue and just general other symptoms I have that she KNOWS about. Denied all of them. Oh! And apparently I’ve progressed so far into hashimotos that I now have Hypothyroidism. And she didn’t mention that either. Was a wonderful day /src

Conventional health advice: you shouldn't crack your neck, you'll get arthritis

Doctors: fixing a subluxation quickly is important to prevent damage that can cause osteoarthritis and it can cause a cracking noise

Conventional health advice: you shouldn't chug water

Doctors: when someone chugs water, they activate a bodily response that can help pots patients mitigate their symptoms

Conventional health advice: you should sit still to say attention

Doctors: fidget toys and drawing can help maintain attention for things like classwork

Conventional health advice: Don't do that thing you do to feel better

Doctors: you should do that thing everyone tells you not to do to feel better

Me: hmm. This is a wild but like. Maybe trying to standardize medicine when the human body can't even agree on what it needs to be a person is bad actually. It's even worse when laypeople self-police and police others using this standardized advice for literally everyone without assuming they've tried it already. We shouldn't have to try things that we know won't work because otherwise we wouldn't have started doing the other thing.

with great pain comes the great inability to form a coherent sentence

[ID: a 4-page comic in illuminated manuscript style of a person standing outside. /1: They look to the distance and say: "What is that dolorous cloud: that dreadful fright I see now on the dark horizon?" /2: They turn, upset, and say: "Alas! It is the brain fog approaching!" A purple cloud enters the panel. /3: They hold up their hands against the approaching cloud, saying: "A curse upon that fog that steals my eloquence. I...hate...it" /4: The cloud surrounds them and they say: "cloud"..."bad" /ID]

Ok so I have updated what I identify with

All of the above minus androgyne.

I have come to terms with being a demiboy

I also identify with the sub labels

- cupioromantic (meaning I don’t feel romantic attraction but crave a romantic relationship)

-bellusexual (being asexual but still being interested in certain sexual/physically intimate actions without feeling the actual sexual attraction)

Ummm hi? My name is Sonny (pronounced sunny) and I use all pronouns with a preference of they/them.

And uh these are the flags I associate with

- ace

- aro

- non-binary

- androgyne

- trans

- aroace
