The thing that makes Phan soo huge isn't even that they're in love for real in real life. It's about queer joy and watching someone grow old with their soulmate and the journey from being closeted to Whatever it is they're doing live on stage these days. It's about the fucking sexy nun costume and the bleached hair and two gay men in their 30s still acting as unhinged as they were when they met at 18 and 22. It's genuinely a beautiful love story but it's also two hugely important individual journeys.

i had a dream that time travel was invented and too many people choose to travel back in time to save the titanic from sinking (the question of whether unsinking of the titanic deserved so much attention in the face of human history was the subject of both heavy academic and online discourse), which caused a rift in the space-time-continuum that led to the titanic showing up indiscriminately all over the world’s oceans and sea in various states of sinking.

this caused a lot of issues both in terms of fixing said space-time-continuum and in terms of nautical navigation, and after a long and heavy battle in the international maritime organization it was decided that the bureaucratic burden of dealing with this was to be upon Ireland, much to their dismay. the Irish Government then released an app for all sailors and seafarers so they could report titanic sightings during their journeys, even though they heavily dissuaded you from reporting them given the paperwork it caused.

anyway i woke up with a clear image of the app in my head and needed to recreate it for all of you:

“If we're gonna date, you may have to defeat my seven evil exes boyfriend pokedex.”

I rewatched Scott Pilgrim last week and was like Bojan would probably have it worse in this scenario he’d have to fight like… 15 people but I’m not a masochist so he can have like 7…. this was a very dumb idea I put too much time into

Have the courage to exist.

Hello internet. 

Today, October 10th, is World Mental Health Day and as a cause very close to my heart I am releasing a new range of merch where all proceeds will go to the charity I represent - Young Minds, to help fight for young people’s mental health.

In 2014 I made the video ’Existential Crisis’ where I dropped the surprisingly profound quote ‘Embrace the void and have the courage to exist’. This was a message that in a universe that won’t give you the answers, it’s up to you give your life meaning in whatever way makes you happy. 

In the years since uploading this video, I’ve spoken to many people who have told me how those words resonated with them and inspired actions, art (and even a few tattoos) so I thought this would be the perfect way to put some goodness back into the world and give you courage when you need it.

As of now the quote is available as both a simple black (of course) t-shirt:

And a flag for you to pin up on a wall like a poster, raise on a pole ..or just wear like a cape if you feel like it:

When it comes to mental health I know all too well how difficult it can be just to exist, but days like this where people come together to show support for each other and raise awareness show that none of us are alone. A year on since I posted ‘Daniel and Depression’, where I was open about my struggles with mental health, I feel so much support from people around the world and pride that what I did may have helped others. I encourage anyone reading this who sympathises not to struggle in silence and otherwise to reach out to the ones you love and tell them you are there, it could make all the difference.

I hope that you like the sentiment and please get involved to support a wonderful charity, and as I said in a recent live show - if I can make it through life to this point, so can you.

Thanks Dan

the reason why dnp understand their audience so well is that phil is so gay he was writing gay vampire werewolf buffy fic as a teen and dan is such a nerd he was emailing the lost wiki editors so much about mistakes in the wiki that they eventually asked him to be an editor

English: Grammar Nazi - Kinda extreme - Trivializes fascism  - Limited usage

Finnish: Comma fucker - Funny, light-hearted yet still clearly derogatory - Trivializes nothing - Usage not limited only to grammar, but works for any nitpickers

alancummingreally I wore this suit to the Met gala centuries ago in protest at being told to shut up and keep out of politics during the Iraq war, but I think today its message is even more prescient and vital.

The quote is by the great Audre Lord and the suit was designed by Stephen Cirona.
