Prompted by your post about dnp inviting audience interaction: it /is/ really brave, and so interesting! I haven't been watching them for long at all and one of the biggest things that just drew me in and deeply fascinated me about them is how so much of their work (not just on stage) is in some way a conversation/interaction with their audience and the more you watch the more you notice it. No wonder its easy to be parasocial about them and about the Phandom itself!

To me, at least, they seem to be the sort of performers/creators that need a relatively high level of audience interaction in order to be inspired or for their work to feel meaningful. Like, im absolutely sure they could also create things without this close relationship with their audience but it seems to be what their naturally drawn towards? Obviously the problem has been in maintaining boundaries within that but it seems like that's going better now than at some points in the past, which makes me really happy for everyone!

Sorry about the long yap, this is so interesting to me and I just needed to express it a little

(original post referenced) yes!!! i love this!!! so beautifully worded! no need to apologize at all - i am in such hearty agreement and actually think about this so often. i think the engagement with their audience is their superpower, and it runs so deep. what was one of dan's favorite things about phil before he met him? phil's interactive adventure videos, in which he was creating an interactive experience for his viewers.

when they film pinof1 together, what are they doing? they're answering an audience-submitted q&a. the audience interaction is literally baked into their foundation! <3

2010, dan's uni dorm. what's displayed behind him on his wall? art and letters sent to him by viewers. he films danmail vids where he opens and reacts to said art and letters and personally thanks the senders.

for years and years and years, what's at the end of every phil video? fanart! draw phil naked! (in retrospect literally so weird lol but shhh)

the ongoing avalanche of vyous and younows and tumblr reblogs/follows and responding to yt comments and retweets and and and. so much interaction. the videos directly engaging with twitter and tumblr creations. they see us, they know us, they get us.

their first book? included a double-page spread with dozens of pieces of phanart.

every single one of their tours has multiple essential audience interaction components, and even more brilliantly, with multiple different access points that are perfectly calibrated to their audience. too shy to speak up? send in a submission ahead of time. want to be a part of the masses? shout something out during the audience participation segments! and there's always the likelihood that they'll include fanart in the show itself, casually mention an actual actively popular fic, throw in an ancient phwedding manip, or just build whole segments of the show around our tropes and the world that we created with them. all of that keeps things exciting and engaging on stage, bc you never know exactly what's going to come next. but it also keeps their audience feeling seen, valued, and like co-creators in a way.

When you look at the other britcrew and big yters from the 2010s, they simply weren't generating that ongoing, authentic conversation with their audiences. their approach followed the simple format of: i post, you watch. and then it became: i post, you watch, then i try and sell you something while i call you my 'community' because you are all watching me and sometimes you talk to one another in the comments. but it's not like zalfie or joe and casper etc. were chiming in on the convos too, or at least not in any meaningful way. it wasn't a community in the same way.

dan and phil truly built community. i think communities require mutual exchange, communication, a sense of value and worth, commonly agreed upon truths, shared experiences, touchstones of connection, and leaders who have integrity. i know this is all starting to sound a little lofty, but i really do think dan and phil are good humans who have worked hard to wield their power and influence responsibly and compassionately. they set the tone for us, constructed this world, paid attention to what landed for us, how we responded to things, everything that we were up to in response to what they were up to. they listened. they made us feel seen and celebrated and appreciated, and in turn we continued to celebrate them. they created weird inside jokes, we adopted them, then we all shared the weird inside jokes. they existed, we created our own language and lore and encyclopedia in response, and now there's a whole stage show about it.

that's how you get people sticking around for 15 years. that's how you get people to actually want to spend money on you. and yeah, some more boundaries at times couldn't have hurt. they fostered a sense of proximity and entitlement that obviously put them in harm's way. but i'd say ultimately what they've manage to do has been a net good for them and a tremendous success.

you raised such a good point that it seems to be what they are naturally drawn towards. i think it's because they, too, were fangirls. phil was writing buffy fic. dan was running a lost wiki. they both understood the power of online fan community before they were the titans of their own. they get it, they get us <3

Uh, Hello.

Unsure if this is appropriate tumblr etiquette, but i found your tags under a quote from an old book about women and reading. They said:

"i am showing great restraint in these tags by not talking about how women were once stewardesses of beer#just wanted you all to know#hyperfixation tag rant AVOIDED"

And honestly, I really would love to hear this rant, if you have time and motivation.

OMG, I think this is my favorite ask I've ever received, and Anon, you have completely made my evening. My week. My month, even!! Thank you!

I decided to put my rant under the cut for the sake of the dash:

So, this hyperfixation began for me when I was doing research for a short story. In the course of my research, I read this book called Ale, Beer, and Brewsters in England: Women's Work in a Changing World, 1300-1600 by Judith Bennett. Most of my knowledge on the subject comes from this book, so it's important to start with a gigantic disclaimer that it's only one book, it's only about England, and I'm probably misremembering stuff, and if so, I apologize!

But the summary of the book does a good job of telling you about the basic premise:

Women brewed and sold most of the ale consumed in medieval England, but after 1350, men slowly took over the trade. By 1600, most brewers in London were male, and men also dominated the trade in many towns and villages. This book asks how, when, and why brewing ceased to be women's work and instead became a job for men. Employing a wide variety of sources and methods, Bennett vividly describes how brewsters (that is, female brewers) gradually left the trade. She also offers a compelling account of the endurance of patriarchy during this time of dramatic change.

So basically ale and beer were considered such household necessities that they fell under the purview of the women of the house, along with things like meat, butter, bread, etc. Some women were held in high renown for their ale such that they could sell it to other households, or to single men who didn't know how to brew their own, and make a profit from it. Some of *those* women might have even been good enough at it to set it up as a larger business. And there was a word for them--"brewsters" means female brewers.

The book covers a lot of ground, everything from brewers' guild membership (which could include women, but often turned into "guys' clubs"), to control over property and therefore water supply (which was the single biggest factor to creating good ale and beer at the time, and which also meant that a lot of single women or widows who no longer owned their property could no longer brew their beer). Even the fictional depiction of Brewsters as being drunken, immoral women (think the busty barmaid stereotype that persists today) was used to push them out of the trade. And especially as ale and beer became more popular, and therefore profitable--men started to perpetuate the misbelief that it was "men's work." But for centuries, it had been perfected by women first!

So, now whenever guys act like women don't know shit about beer, it's interesting to me to imagine the expert brewster in her medieval kitchen, grinding her grain by hand, mixing it with boiling water, and letting it fill with the wild yeast that was already in the air because of all the bread baking and other activities around the hearth. Voila! Delicious ale.

All this being said, I know that monks in Continental Europe are also given credit for being early brewers, and I don't know as much about that particular tradition, so like I said before, this is just looking at the history of England. However, it's not a stretch to imagine that this trend might have mirrored similar changes throughout other parts of Europe at the time. I would love to learn more about brewing in other parts of the world, too, but I haven't had the time to go down that path yet.

I hope this has scratched the itch a little bit, and again, thank you SO much for giving me the chance to talk about this. I literally had so much fun. If anyone else is interested in such things, PLEASE do interact! :D
