[danandfuckingjonlmao]

dnp are so much worse than we could ever be. they bully us for being like omg they touched and then sit there screaming and giggling and kicking their feet because omg dan helped phil sort his fringe out in 2015 that’s soooo sweet!1!!1!!!!! 😭😭😭 omg did you see how they communicated without words?? 😱 they are so in tune with each other they have such a powerful connection 🥹🥰😆 so cute how dan was looking out for phil soulmate shit fr 🥺 let’s watch it again 😝😍🤣😵🤭🫨 like shut the fuck up?? fucking phannies?? you’re so embarrassing??

[psychicbby]

imagine being one of dan’s flatmates in his first yr of uni lmfaoo??? like ok here comes this guy and like the first day he shuts himself in his room to play video games. ok cool whatever maybe he’s nervous. most of the time you never see him bc apparently he has an older friend nearby that he’s always with. when he is in the hall he’s burning pasta bc he’s cooking inept and staring down the washer bc he doesn’t understand how to do his own laundry. oh and he makes videos for youtube where he talks to himself (again this is like 2010). so after barely seeing this man the entire term you find out he’s dropped out of uni. ok whatever you never really think about him again until you’re on youtube and you see his face on the homepage. his video has like millions of views and thousands of likes. oh, there’s the friend he was spending all that time with. somehow he’s become some sort of an internet celebrity??? lmfaooooo. what a serve on dan’s part.

out of the closet dan and phil preaching about how rpf is great actually is just so funny. like yeah man you guys just get free porn written about you and your boyfriend, of course you're pro rpf

the tackle glomp of '09

[bitchslapblastoids]

Was thinking about how much of a normo I come across as irl, how I’ve felt a lil odd person out at their shows bc of being a bit older (29) and looking so aggressively normal, how generally confused people in my life would be if they knew about my d&p obsession, how thoroughly i mask weirder traits and essentially codeswitch to suit the mainstream, etc.

i feel kind of fish out of water when I imagine how all the people that populate my tumblr phandom ecosystem are likely presenting to the world irl (I.e. more visibly queer, counterculture, and so on). But then I think maybe the most visible phannies are the ones with the most curated, alt, deliberate daytoday lewks/style? So maybe what I’m picturing is off base? But then I’m also basing this off of what audiences look like in audience footage, m&gs, etc.

Sooooooo i would like to know… do you guys feel like you present as someone who may be Deeply Online and obsessed with two gay nerds from the internet? Or do you hide it and fly under the radar, masking as a total normy and living a double life?

(To clarify I don’t mean you’re like out and about wearing the fringes boob sweatshirt lol I more mean vibes and overall lewk yk?)

i'm sorry but if i went on a getaway holiday with only my bro dude bestie friend and came back with a brand new album with hits like 'phantasy island, 'shove an ice cube all the way', 'danaconda', 'philacolada', 'SPF 69', 'do not disturb' and 'blondes have more fun' i would literally have to dig a hole in the ground to hide in from shame after sharing too fucking much

[philyuri]

i think i only said this in tags but i genuinely think i cooked when i said that the hard launch DID happen — fifteen years ago, when neither of them knew just how many eyes would end up on them. people knew back then! a big reason why the phandom was so sure of their relationship is their tweets and formsprings and askfm questions! they were the most annoying couple you know in 2009!

when you compare this current era to 2009/2010 it starts to feel less like brand new territory and more like a return to an old way of interacting with the world at large. this is pure speculation on my part but i do think that, for d&p, a lot of the past year has been about accepting and loving not only the past 15 years and the audience/creator dynamic that developped for better and for worse, but also accepting that there is a REASON people knew about them, and that reason is that they told us. I keep going back to it but: did you miss the memo? we know you know. did you miss the memo?

the more i think about it the more "they act like they did hard launch without having actually done it" feels both more and less accurate. they ARE acting like they hard launched. because they're more than aware that, for all intents and purposes, they did. over a decade ago. it was the most fun they ever had!

[evermorepeyton]

the fact that dan could anticipate that we’d be talking about phil winning him a plushie from a claw machine in 2010 for the next couple of weeks, actually he knows us too well, go away

[dnphan]

"y'all don't know."

pls can i get daniel howell to STOP complaining about phil lesters DICK SIZE?? HELLO WTF??

[sysig]

I was inspired from on high (Patreon)

[ahappydnp]

being a full adult during ii was so funny

like just sat there while dan and phil worked it out in the remix with the 14 year olds who were yelling at them to kiss

[personthattoleratesme]

Dnp recreating their own relationship in the sims not once but twice is so funny to me, like Devan was already clearly meant to be them and now they’ve paired Dalien up with the most Dan looking boy in school when he had several other options

[nebulaedaniel]

my favorite phannie thing is when people decide that dan and phil are doing something small on purpose to fuck with us (like the hoodie strings rn) as if dnp don’t tell us the same anecdotes a billion times

[phlondsbian]

part of me thinks that if they could hard launch to only phannies without getting anyone else involved they would do it just because their most insane shit happens when they know it’s just us watching

[an-imaginary-person6]

Philip Michael Lester and Daniel James Howell, what in the fuck do you mean by husband?

I know that Phil likes to wander and stalk these spaces for some reason. So I would like an answer personally, how much are you fucking with us.

Do you like seeing us have parasocial crises over minor word changes?
