“they touched” in many ways is a cute funny and silly joke poking fun at us but i really do think about how far they’ve come that they were genuinely scared to touch each other when closeted out of fear it would come across as gay but in this era they get to be so touchy with each other without that fear anymore 🥹

[morts2022]

I think "going steady" is my favorite description of Dan and Phil's relationships I'm so grateful to that one Australian interviewer for that. Like yeah they are steady 🥺 and they're going for sure

[morts2022]

"It's us against the world, together we'll survive" not about Dan and Phil versus the world but about Dan and Phil and the phandom versus the world........... they make me sick

[morts2022]

dan and phil keep switching back and forth from talking about each other to talking about husbands, i'm starting to associate the two

[morts2022]

There are two types of ppl in the phandom - those who view "obviously we were more than just romantic" (Basically I'm Gay) as The Hardlaunch tm and ppl who confuse me.

[morts2022]

and that’s probably why they’re both single

[morts2022]

yall remember when this was considered joint content. this is why i don’t crash out when dnp don’t post for 3 weeks. this was our standard for YEARS

[morts2022]

what was it about "our phone? my phone. we don't share a phone" along with the light touch and the genuine bright little laugh that killed me instantly. something about self-awareness and being able to laugh at the ridiculous manifestations of your once in a lifetime love for another person. damn

what’s the secret to still being able to make your partner of over 15 yrs blush when u flirt with them? asking for a friend

step 1: be gods favorite

[morts2022]

The fact that some people took " more than friends more than just romantic actual soulmates" to mean "we are exes and/or platonic bffs cohabitating for 15 years" is baffling like how much clearer did he need to be

[morts2022]

phan proof compilations used to be like "here's Dan looking at Phil for a minute straight" "oh what's that? TWO glasses on the nightstand?! GAY" "Dan was WEARING PHIL'S TSHIRT" "they might be holding hands in this video??? Maybe??? If you squint???"

and now it's "here's Dan and Phil talking about their mortgage" "here's Dan calling Phil his husband" "here's 100 clips of Dan and Phil joking about having gay sex with each other" "here's Dan and Phil getting so flustered by how hot the other looks that they literally turn red" and some people think these are equivalent

[morts2022]

I’m a post-coming out phannie and I figured you would be the person to ask about this: before they came out, was there a consensus among fans on what they thought dnp’s sexualities were? Did anyone even care about their specific identities or was it more of a “they’re queer and nothing beyond that matters” situation

anon there is literally no way i can truly describe what it was like. there was no consensus there was only discourse and that discourse had discourse

as an immersive experience for anon can people please add commentary to this post like it’s 2017 and someone just said the words “dan and phil” and “queer” in the same sentence

"when they hard launch"

"when will they hard launch"

"2025 prediction: they finally hard launch"

My brethren in Christ. Dan and Phil are real best friends, companions through life, ACTUAL soulmates. They didn't just buy a house together, they built one together. They have a phortgage. They eat the same meals on the same schedule even when they're apart, so they can properly enjoy food when they're together again. Dan looks at Phil like he is the sun, and Phil looks at Dan like he made the moon and every star in the night sky with his own hands.

What more do you need to know exactly how they feel about each other, or where they are in life? Do you want these 6ft3 twanks to refer to one another as their bOyFrIeNdS?? Do they need to PHUCK on main so people will let it go?? Bonk bonk beat it up on the gaming channel?? Get real.

Cheers to 2025 and my gay dads🩵🖤🎉

They used to put so much effort into pretending they slept in different hotel rooms and now they’re just posting a picture that Dan took of Phil in their hotel room with his pants unbuttoned. I can’t believe this is our reality

[morts2022]

"And obviously [apparent to everyone, now matter how closeted he was] we were more than friends [friendship is the foundation of their relationship, but it cannot be described as simply as a friendship] but it was more than just romantic [romantic feelings are implied, but it cannot be described as simply as a romantic relationship]. This is someone that genuinely liked me [extremely important, as Dan was intensely bullied as a child]. I trusted them [again, extremely important as Dan has cited his childhood as the reason for his trust issues]. And for the first time since I was a tiny child, I actually felt safe [Phil was the first person since maybe his grandparents who made him feel comfortable enough to be himself]. And the relationship [the aforementioned more than friends, more than romantic relationship] we formed at that point was something that I needed in my life [Dan didn't have a best friend for the first 18 years of his life]. We are real best friends [YEAH!!], companions through life [YEAH??], like actual soulmates [YEAH??!!!!], not that souls are a real thing that exist [ok, Dan. Always a skeptic]. It’s so lucky to just find someone you can be that compatible [a real best friend, companion through life, an actual soulmate] with and especially to anyone that has experienced the kind of self-hatred that I have dealt with, one person accepting you can make all the difference [if the last 15 years have been any indication, it really, truly can]."

Happy do you know where the Phan ship name originates? I assume it came from the fandom then was at some point acknowledged by Dan and Phil? Also why was it that they never tagged #Phan on their tumblr posts but mentioned it by name in vids? Ty x

i so appreciate phil being so open lately about how dan retiring from youtube affected him. cause we've talked so much about how that must've been for dan, but i think phil's perspective wasn't touched on as much because he DIDN'T say anything (i imagine to support and protect dan). he just kept going.

but now that they're working on moving on and forgiveness, phil is able to talk about it and say "yeah i was scared and lonely and maybe a little hurt". like in the podcast he literally said "you were not there, i was on my own." that's SO vulnerable to say.

it's just nice to hear them be able to talk about something so personal in such a healthy and open way.
