To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Phineas and Ferb. The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of engineering most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer’s head. There’s also Phineas’s optimistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Space Adventure literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realise that they’re not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Phineas and Ferb truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn’t appreciate, for instance, the humour in Phineas’s existential catchphrase “I know what we're gonna do today!” which itself is a cryptic reference to Doofenschmirtz’s Drusselsteinian epic Fathers and Sons-inator. I’m smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Dan Povenmire’s genius wit unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools.. how I pity them. 😂
And yes, by the way, i DO have a Perry tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It’s for the ladies’ eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they’re within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin personnel kid 😎

Do you have any actual text versions of your 5th edition character sheets for people to look at? Because I found your deviations while searching for character sheets in the litature section but when I click on your listed items there, I get no text. I'm mostly blind, and while I can see some images with only a certain amount of detail, I'm looking for a regular text version of a good enough 5th edition character sheet to go by and so far all I keep finding are pictures or pdf files only. It's been real frustrating. I've haven't used a proper character sheet in years, and I'd like to have something a little more proper to use a framework to have all of my characters' information to go by.

Thank you, Oliver Ink!
Let me know if you do commissions?

I focus on photomanipulations which is mainly finding the right pieces and putting them together into something unique.
As far as commissions, just let me know in a note of what you're seeking.

Truthfully -- I'm one of the original Trekkies. I absolutely HATE the "Discovery" series, because it's NOT Star Trek -- it looks like it came from some alternate universe.
I only saw that first episode, and I'm glad it's required to "stream" it -- which I refuse to do for ANY series. If they can't be bothered to put it on television, it's not worth it,
and Discovery only proves that! Note: I'm a fan of all five Star Trek series... I only despise the movie "Star Trek V" and this new Discovery disaster.

Look...the whole Superman series was doing wonderfully...until some ass made "Superman IV" which KILLED IT.
I do NOT want that to happen to Star Trek!!! One really bad movie, or one really bad series can do the same thing!
We HAVE to be careful!!!

No worries then. Discovery is hardly a flop, and is bringing in loads of new fans. Just relax.

I hope so. The writing and art department both suck.
First episode--the only one I saw--the captain had the computer perform a site-to-site transport. BULLSHIT. 22 Years later, Kirk knew he was risking his life to perform an "intra-ship beaming" to Engineering, with Mara, the Klingon science officer, in "Day of the Dove." Kirk only did it because Spock did the calculations. He certainly would NEVER have tried it had a 23rd Century Computer done it on its own.
Secondly, this lead character--supposedly trained on Vulcan--is guilty of mutiny. 23 years in the future, in "The Tholian Web," Chekov asks Spock, "Sir, has there ever been a mutiny on a starship before?" To which Spock responds, "Never, Ensign."
Remember, I watched this show, each episode scores of times, by the time I was 14 in 1979, when the first Star Trek Movie came out. WPIX Channel 11 used to air it every week day, and on the week-ends. We played Star Trek all the time with a cardboard bridge and landing party equipment assembled from a model kit by AMT. I knew the first Tech manual backwards and forwards years before TNG came on the air.
The so-called writers can't keep their lore straight, nor do they understand the technology. There's a HUGE difference in advances in a hundred years.
Gene Roddenberry would be turning over in his grave...if he had one. He had his ashes tossed into Earth orbit.

I'm pretty sure Roddenberry would be thrilled to see the series is following times and taking the lore new, previously unexplored directions. It's the hate some have and the negativity they spread that's the doom of things, if anything.
I'm sorry the series isn't of your personal satisfaction (personally I love the art/costuming/scoring/acting/writing of it,and know there are many out there who do too), but then why bother raving about it? Like said: you have more than plenty of previous Trek to enjoy - you could just ignore this, if it so offends you (except at conventions: I wonder what all the haters do at conventions... just sit quiet in the corner brooding? I doubt anyone would have the guts to hurl these insults at a celebratory occasions like those). Each of which have had a different approach to the original, each of which have added to the lore and come to be accepted by the fandom. I'm afraid this might just be fear of the new, but it might be too early for some to hear it still.
The hate for the series, any iteration of it, is what I think Gene would find utterly unappealing.

"is what I think Gene would find utterly unappealing."
You obviously didn't KNOW Gene!!! at ALL!!!
He was a stickler for perfection! The writers alone went through copy after copy to "get it right!"
There used to be a "former writers board" hanging in the Men's bathroom at the TV studio where TNG was created.
As each writer failed to live up to Gene's high standards, he was shown the door!

Dear Jempu:
I understand your opinion. Please understand that I am most certainly -not- the only one out there who absolutely HATES this new series, mainly because it does NOT stick to what we consider "canon." (i.e., it appears that whomever is doing the writing, never bothered to watch the episodes of the Original series, which royally ticks us all off!)
When the Klingons originally had their make-up changed, it was explained that in the 60's, Roddenberry was working on a shoe-string budget, and even the writers went to great lengths to explain how and why Klingons look so different! NOW, somebody decided to change them yet AGAIN, without an explanation! This is INTOLERABLE!!! You want to say that this is an alternate universe, FINE. You want to say that somebody screwed up the timeline? Fine.
Just DON'T leave us hanging!!!
