Phineas and Ferb
Starting with what I’m sure everyone wants to hear, my take on the Doofenshmirtz and Perry. People say that they’re pitch, but the anon who requested this was definitely right, there are pale moments. I however would like to go one step further and say that it looks almost entirely pale to me. If you look at the behaviors that make people think that they’re pitch, it’s all because it’s pretty much therapy for Doof. The schemes and traps and shouts of “curse you Perry the platypus!” aren’t from hatred, it’s because he’s letting go of some past trauma. It’s one of my favorite tropes to be honest (so I’m probably a little biased), the pale couple who looks pitch at first glance. (Note: the only reason why I am saying any quadrants at all is because it is made clear that Perry is sentient, sapient, and capable of clear communication.) Moving on to the other thing anon was right about; there is definitely a multi quadrant pitch/pale/flushed situation happening with Baljeet and Buford. There’s that strange level of comfort mixed with the frequent intimidation that would indicate either very close enemies or kismesissitude. They also have their moments of holding each other back, calming each other down, and otherwise acting like moirails. The flushed part of the equation seems to mainly be in between being pitch and pale, having brief matespritships as a midpoint during vacillation between kismesissitude and moirailleigence. One of the more obviously shown relationships is Isabella’s flushcrush on Phineas. I don’t think that this one requires too much explanation. It is possible that the relationship may be pale throughout most of cannon, with Isabella trying to vacillate to a flushed relationship.
Similarly, Candace and Jeremy seem to have a simple flushed relationship, while at times Candace seems a little obsessive it is not much to worry about in the long run, and overall their relationship seems to be a matespritship.
Candace is very close with Stacy, and this could either be just really close friends, or a moirailleigence. There isn’t too much to say for this dynamic except that rarely Candace needs help with her relationship with Jeremy, and although I don’t think it’s hate-based Stacy will step up as a pseudo-auspistice to help keep the pair happy. (some vacillation is normal in any relationship, so sometimes Candace and Jeremy may be actually pitch, with Stacy being their auspistice.) It is clear that regardless of if they’re moirails or not they do mean a great deal to each other, but with how they act the pale quadrant is a safe bet.
Last relationship I’m going to cover in this analysis is Ferb and Vanessa. From their age differences in the main show ( Ferb is around 9-10 and Vanessa is 15-16) it is somewhat uncomfortable for me to say there’s anything there, but in the future when they are both adults they are shown to be dating. We don’t see enough of the relationship to properly categorize it, but because they say they’re together it’s probably concupiscent, and if I had to guess I would probably say flushed.
I probably missed a few things, and constructive criticism is welcome! Tell me what I missed or got wrong, and I hope you all enjoyed!
