i can never say this off anon but. like. i don't agree with rpf ideologically but there's something to the narrative of it, right? like if i was a minecraft youtuber and so was my best friend and i fell in love with them i would never fucking say anything publicly. there's a story there. i just wish it made sense to write about fictional youtubers or write aus about my ocs as youtubers without it turning into meta commentary on actual RPF. why is there no respectful way to write about c!cc!characters huh

There is most definitely a story to be told in which the entire world thinks two people should be together, and because of that two people cannot reveal they are in love with each other.

#anon this is an interesting topic #so cruel of u to put it in my inbox tho lmao /lh #now I have to say smth off anon abt it!#but uh I'm trying to phrase this ever so delicately #I don't think u should ship real ppl #obviously #I grew up watching dan and phil guys #but this ask is soooo like #yeah #them #I think abt them a lot and how hard it must have been to be in the closet and somehow outted at the same time #very interesting perspective #but also it is so intrusive to explore smth like that ya know?#like in a fanfic #and ur right any story revolving around this topic is ultimately a commentary on rpf culture #even if 'youtuber who is in love with youtuber friend“ could be a fun story #it will always draw uncomfortable parallels to actual ppl #smooziespeaks #ask #anon #dragonanswers #also u mentioned mcyt's specifically which is funny cuz my response is basically #ah yes my favorite mcyts dan and phil #ALSO! What drove you to ask me of all ppl abt this???#not mad I just desperately need to know #what abt me screams send ur anonymous confessions #I need to exude that energy everywheew
