#hyperfixation wins again ig

[da3drat]

literally so homophobic that i am not playing morrowind rn

[flamboyant-chaos]

Does anyone get stuck in a hyperfixation that you so desperately want to end but can't make your brain give it up?

I'm currently rewatching community, and I absolutely love this show. But fuck I can not make my brain move on for the life of me. It's the only thing my brain wants me to do when im home. I've fully finished this show twice since I started my binge last month.

I dont know what it is about this show but everytime I start it I get so sucked into it I watch it til I literally can't stand it anymore. The last time I binged it it was like 4ish years ago, and I couldn't walk away until I literally hated the show.

[bluiex]

I am here to deliver two things. First one is a promise (I think?) and the second one is me combining hermits/empire characters into Six The Musical as I am currently hyperfixated on both.

Alrighty, first order of business. If Scar wins this next round against Doc, his toughest opponent probably, I will either make the completed Contract oneshot I was writing (5k word minimum although it’s gonna be more around 10k prolly) or I write a 5k word minimum oneshot of the Oasis Au. I really need Scar to win ok?

Now onto the Six x Hermit/Empires.

I do want to clarify, that I am, indeed, talking about the musical and not the actual wives, but the way how the musical portrays them. Furthermore, I know there’s kinda two versions on Spotify, the recorded and the live. I’ll be talking similarities to the live unless stated otherwise. Also, I completely understand that these are all gonna be super unpopular opinions but I wanted to share.

Here’s the little list of who I assigned to who first and foremost.

Catherine of Aragon - Tango

Anne Boleyn - Scott

Jane Seymour - Gem

Anne of Cleves - Ren

Katherine Howard - Scar

Catherine Parr - Pearl

Now for me to explain myself

I chose Tango for Aragon mainly due to how she acts throughout the entire musical. She lets her emotions lead her mainly, quick to anger or to resort to violence. Not to mention her way of talking just screams Tango to me. And I’m not saying Tango is quick to anger, but the rage thing y’know. Plus, I could totally see him singing No Way for some reason.

My second choice for her would be Sausage, but I definitely feel like Tango just carried more of her energy.

Scott and Boleyn are honestly so alike it’s not even funny. They both just try having a good time but are so extremely petty. Like Boleyn never letting anyone forget she no longer has a head and Scott would probably hold things over people’s heads. But yeah, so similar personality wise although, I’d argue Scott is a little more patient.

Second choice was Grian cuz he’s short.

Next up we have Gem and Seymour! Seymour’s song is extremely emotional and moving (despite the fact I dislike it until like halfway) and in my opinion, Gem’s someone who expresses their love easily. And she is also strong, her love for people unwavering what ever gets thrown at her, she is just an endless ball of love. I dunno where else I was going with this.

Katherine was my second option, but I felt like she’d have a more kickass version of the song.

(This is embarrassing but I wrote everything else before realizing I forgot Cleves and Ren. Lmao) So, again, I am goung based off the live version of Get Down and just Cleves in general. Her character acts pretty dramatic, like when she was pretending to have a terrible life. And then her song is just really fun and upbeat. And well, obviously Ren is someone who likes being dramatic and doing bits of rp and is also really chipper and overall always seems to be having a good time.

Now you might be thinking Doc would be my second choice since he’s German. However it was Etho. However, I thought Etho fit better with the recorded version rather than the live.

Now you may be wondering how I got Howard and Scar instead of Howard and Grian. And the answer is quite simple, because I want to. Anywho, obviously Scar is extremely attractive so obviously people would wanna hit that. But he can also be pretty oblivious and naive, just like how Howard was growing up and being taken advantage of. And well, ig this kinda goes into DL, but Scar kinda becomes resentful with Grian abusing his kindness by having a secret soulmate just like how Howard becomes resentful of just being used as a plaything.

Grian was my second option cuz of Ariana Griande.

And Lasty, Parr and Pearl. Both of these women are so strong and amazing for what they had to endure. Going into DL again, Pearl deals with her soulmate abandoning her by loving something else and becoming independent while Parr has to give up her life for survival. Both of them are just so strong.

And actually, can’t lie, Grian’s my second option here again too. Why? Well actually, it’s cuz of the need to survive. Grian always feels the need to please others to better his chance of survival through allies just like how Parr had to please the king in order to live.

I know it isn’t the best arguments, and I’m sure y’all could find better people to pair. However, that’s just what I thought of and since I’m a maladaptive daydreamer, I think of this too often I had to share.

Hope you enjoyed! Until next time!

Tbh I know nothing of Six the musical- so this is all very intriguing, love how you put the characters with the musical, it makes sense why you picked who for who! and I love the pairings you got going on for it o:

BUT YES KEEP VOTING SCAR

[bbygirlverstappen]

just getting my thoughts out putting under read more so i don't clog your dash with my rambling but feel free to read and share your thoughts if you want

ok it's nearing 1am and i'm a mentally unwell person who hyperfixates on stupid things like f1 and lets them affect her too much... ever since the news about horner broke out i've been saddened and disgusted by him and rbr. disappointed and apalled about how they're handled the situation. and now things are escalating fast (i'm aware this has likely been going on behind the scenes for a long time tho)

moreover i see so many ppl saying that they'll leave/stop watching if max retires and i understand that completely but it still makes me sad that in the future there will be less max fans in the community. especially when it's (still) so divided and i can't stand any max slander i need to block those ppl so will i find new ppl to follow? who knows... i'll be in my own bubble with tumbleweed ig

i'll follow max whatever he decides to do next. but i will keep watching f1 till the sport implodes lol. max didn't make me love f1 he just made me love it a thousand times more ofc he is my nro 1 and will probably always will be but there are other drivers whose careers interest me. i wanna see charles get that wdc and lando's first win and lewis in ferrari and oscar's progress and where fernando's career ends and alex driving a better car and all that young talent (bearman, antonelli etc) get their seats and hopefully one day a woman in f1 (again)

charles will probably be the one i'll root for. let's face it i have tifosi tendencies and my dad even randomly bought me a charles hat when i said i need a new cap (assigned tifosi by dad lol) tho i just dislike the fan culture around charles so much i can't see myself comfortable among the chirlies and if i write f1 fic it'll still be max centered. if there will be ppl reading those (i will be)

i hope i (and others who feel like this) am just getting ahead of myself and max will stay, be it in red bull or mercedes or anywhere. but i've just got this sinking feeling that he'll be gone sooner rather than later... but we'll get to see him conquer another category i'm sure of it!

[fifteenth-entity]

ig this does count as softcore amfissa propaganda???? like youre right i didnt know you were right abt this but you are

(you didnt know ive played ib cuz i havent played ib ;D my volatile supple baby mind just grew up with so much ib content + playthroughs it acts as if ive played ib)

also updated list ftw cuz this has CHANGED

-Caleb Widogast, Mollymauk Tealeaf from campaign 2 (Mighty Nein) and Ashton Greymoore from campaign 3 (Bells Hells) from Critical role -Taako (you know, from TV?) from The Adventure Zone: Balance -Ellery Finch from The Hazel Wood -Garry from Ib -Heidi from Heidi, Girl of the Alps -Shigeo Kageyama and Shou Suzuki from Mob Psycho 100 -Kris Dreemurr from Deltarune (honorable mention: Sal Fisher from Sally Face, don't ask me why he's *here* but he is) -Hunter Whittebane/Clawthorne/Noceda/Deammone (yes I am listning all of them cry about it) from The Owl House -Blade/Yingxing from Honkai Starrail -Diluc Ragnvindr and Kaveh Nolastnamegiven from Genshin Impact (honorable mention: Alhaitham Nolastnamegiven (they share a last name because theyre married)) -Jesper Fahey from Six of Crows, Crooked Kingdom and Rule of Wolves (fuck the show) -Hua Cheng from Heaven Official's Blessing -Minamoto Kou from Toilet-bound Hanako-kun (honorable mention: Mitsuba Sousuke) -Miyano Yoshikazu from Sasaki to Miyano (honorable mention: Sasaki Shuumei) -Snufkin and The Joxter from the Moomins

More misc honorable mentions: Jack Townsend from Tales from the Gas Station, Sly from William and Sly 2, Reigen Arataka from Mob Psycho 100, and more probably, but I can't think of any, I think the meds are kicking in

interesting thing to note here: ... wow, this list has updated a lot. I made this post in march 11th of 2022... at that point, i was still battling an identity crisis (and winning!) and some leftover trauma from being on the Internet when i was 12 and undiagnosed autistic. i remember making this list and honestly scouring my brain for content. the leftover trauma from the 'tism left me with no characters to call my own. i had very few hyperfixations and favorite characters in my developing years because i forced myself to just... not enjoy stuff, but after the summer of 2022, i told myself "you're gonna have to work on just Enjoying characters again", and... voila. here are the results. i feel so strongly for so many characters now; and financial semi-independence and total living independence has allowed me to enjoy more media that i wouldnt have gotten my hands on otherwise without any purchases. a lot of these series with physical media? yeah, i OWN that media now! and the allowance to just... be in a group, be among fans, has pushed me to try new things wholly, not just observe from a distance. this is probably a very personal experience, but this is monumental to me. i can enjoy stuff again. also, ill definitely keep updating this list as the years go by; even rn, im reading a book that is just... clawing at me to be on my favorites. ill b keepin ya posted.

Do you mind if I ask your top 10 favorite characters (can be male or female) from all of the media that you loved (can be anime, books, movies or tv series)? Thanks....

hmmmm let’s see

-Akaboshi Bisco from Sabikui Bisco -Kaoru Sakurayashiki from Sk8 the Infinity -Caleb Widogast from Critical role: Mighty Nein -Espresso Cookie from Cookie Run Kingdom -Marin Kitagawa from Sono Bisque Doll wa Koi wo Suru -Haise Sasaki from Tokyo Ghoul:re -Ellery Finch from The Hazel Wood -Heidi from Heidi, Girl of the Alps -Garry from Ib -Taako (you know, from TV?) from The Adventure Zone: Balance

i have a lot, lot more favorite characters, but these specifically are very near and dear characters to me, all for different reasons

Matchup

Hello! I think I’ve only done 1 matchup before so I hope this is enough while not being too long. I’ll try to organize everything appropriately.

General: I’m non-binary and my sexuality is..eh. I’ve switched between bi/pan and demisexual for awhile but overall prefer queer as a label. I have no preference for gender. I have a kinda soft punk-cryptidcore style. I’m a bit shorter with a lot of chub. 

My body hates me: I’m chronically ill. I take meds including injections. I get 1 and I go in for nerve blocks and Botox in my head and shoulder area for pain. I don’t really do much physically. I’m vaguely diagnosed with autism and probably have adhd too. I have sensory issues, mostly auditory. I almost always wear headphones. I did have surgery that moved my brain up a bit and shaved down some bone to get that good spine juice moving. I have to use unscented stuff and lotion up after every watery encounter. I do have soft skin though! I also struggle with depression and anxiety. 

Likes: I often hyperfixate one a couple pieces of media. I like food, animals, and creatives things! I make jewelry and paint and draw. I wanna try adding stuff to spice up my clothes. I love zoology and wanna go into ornithology. I’m also into more political scenes with my whole vaguely punk thing. It does occupy a lot of my head. 

Dislikes: I really need space sometimes. I can get snappy when I’m upset so I try to back off to calm down. I just don’t like pushiness. I try to meet in the middle and communicate so refusing to do so too makes me really frustrated. It takes pretty large differences for me to hate someone, though. It’s mostly resigned dislike. 

Faults: I have periods where I’m just annoyed and upset with everything. I try not to take it out on anyone. I want to be close but find myself being really distant. I can talk but deeper things are really hard. I want to have a really deep relationship but it’s so hard.

10 years: I want to go to college and go into research about ornithology. I don’t know much further than that. Just the general stuff ig??

Hello !

There was only a few choices possible for you : HT Papyrus and SF Sans could have been two other possible candidates. But the one who wins your heart is...

UNDERFELL PAPYRUS (Edge) !

Edge will not be the best at first to deal with your life. He's loud, he's picky and he is not the best at the sentimental thingy. But Edge has one quality that save everything : he is a quick learner. You said a thing once and you don't need to say it ever again. That's how you almost made him quiet, and aware of your anxiety, and that's awoken his need to protect people he is close too. He reads a lots of stuff to help as best as he can to adapt your little particularities with your ADHD and your chronic illness.

Once you know him enough, Edge is actually a big excited kitten. Just like you, he tends to hyperfocus on things he likes, which including mostly cooking, gardening, and some TV shows of Mettaton he can somehow watch a million times. If you love food, he will try new things everyday, and even try to match food to your mood, clothes, hair colour and other things. You're his inspiration. Despite this, he is not that creative, he prefers to reproduct things he saw before, even if it happens he has a sudden flash of inspiration. He is very supportive of what you're doing though.

He can perfectly understand your need of space, he is like that too sometimes. When he is a bit anxious or angry, he prefers to take distances instead of screaming and triggering you. He hates being pushed too, and it's actually a dealbreaker. He got cornered so many times physically and mentally in his past that it's triggering him very quickly. He's fine with the mood change as long you're forgiving his own changes too. He's not always happy nor optimistic, but it's usually don't happen for long. He's happy to talk about anything you want, communication is key. However, he won't confess about his past and very triggering things before he feels perfectly safe, which might take a while.

He loves animals (cats more especially), but he's curious about birds too and he is more than happy to learn more about them with you. He is an excellent listener and whatever passionates you is passionating him too!

It will not be an easy relationship, but it turns well in the end!

[obeymematches]

Hello! I hope you're not swarmed in all the matchup requests lol, but I have to say - they're great! I love how detailed they are and how much work and thought you put into them! It's admirable, to be honest.

But of course I came here for my own matchup lmao. I'm polyamorous so I'm okay with multiple matches (if you want to, ofc).

So, I'm an INTP, aesthetically edgy, nonbinary.... something, ig. I'm a retired weeb that became a kpop stannie and an e-girl/e-boy but I'm still very much a nerd when it comes to entertainment, like video games and stuff.

I've been told that I look intimidating ever since I was a kid and people tend to be lowkey scared of me at first - add to that the fact that I don't talk much with strangers and have a permanent murderous gaze. But once you force your way into befriending me I become a very loyal and chaotic middle school boy with a negative amount of braincells.

I used to be known as a cryptid - never took pictures, never left my room, so quiet you'd never know if I'm currently in the same room as you or not (my friends would call me irl Kuroko - yes, that even applied to when we played basketball in school). But then, one day I decided that I'm bored of being boring and turned into the loud, vulgar, hot friend (according to my friends, again) that you'd book a room with in a closed off apartment complex but then decided to get some kebabs at midnight and then had to climb over the fence once you got back because the gate man has already left for the night. That was not oddly specific at all.

I know that what I'm doing is usually dumb and dangerous and that's exactly why I do it. I'm dumb but I'm not an idiot, y'know? I also have problems with authority lmao. And while I love doing all the dumb stuff with my friends I'm extremely protective and always take the blow or make sure no one gets actually hurt. Self-sacrifice is a personality trait 😌💅✨ Also, I still have a crippling social anxiety but after mastering the art of dissociating I can go out in public!

I'm not a very affectionate person - I don't really like physical affection all that much. I'm cool with hugging, hand holding and cuddling but in moderation. I express my love towards those close to me by doing favours and helping them. You'll also know I like you and am comfortable when I stop with all the "uwu i love u ur so amazing" and start throwing (not genuine) insults around or bully you (affectionately). I'm also straight up emotionally constipated.

There's very few things in life that I take seriously and even less things that I care about in general. Because of that I can seem very apathetic and dishonest. That being said, I *do* have hobbies and interests (hyperfixations, actually), I don't have an artistic soul but I do a lot of different art (drawing, dancing, singing, rapping, makeup, fashion, etc.) - but my heart belongs to the world of linguistics.

I'm quiet pessimistic on the inside but I just implement it into the typical Gen-Z humor and ignore all my (often serious) problems. I prefer keeping a happy, funny, loud persona in front of others - I'm the distraction and mood maker!

I'd want my partner(s) to first and foremost - be my best friend(s). Someone who isn't very emotional and can solve problems with logic and in a calm manner. Someone who'll be happy with us just existing and vibing next to each other.

Also someone who'd wrestle with me. Or at least would let me throw them around a little, lol.

My faves are Levi, Belphie, Beel and Monie but I think I match with the first two better, imo.

Thank you in advance! Hope you're having a great day/night!

----

Hello!

Ahhh thank you for your kind words!!! >w

Okay so I think you are in fact a great match to each of your favourites for a different reason!

So in canon I don’t think there much info about their take on mono/poly relationships. Sure, besides Beel all of the other candidates are known to get jealous easily but like being poly is not cheating lol. I’m not sure if someone already made HCs about this but I think it would take so much time to convince Levi that theres not one, but two (or more) people who actually love him oh god. But I think the others mentioned above would be ok. 

So I decided to match you with Mammon! 

 Okay so when it comes to aes I think you and Mammon would make a matching couple! 

Mammon also plays games from time to time, so you could spend some time gaming together. He is surprisingly good at them! Obviously Levi could relate to your otaku past, but that is the past. 

I think your intimidating exterior would probably give off Lucifer vibes to Mammon at first. This is not something to worry about though - Mammon has a tendency of stealing or using people (he’s not crushing on) + he also looks down on humans. (these are sometimes ignored in the fandom but it’s all canon) So sure he is definitely stronger than you, but I think he would be less likely to pick on you like that if you have a pretty but intimidating face. 

He is also one of the more loyal demons, so you have a priority on the same spot! 

I think he would definitely support your chaotic ideas and steal kebab with you at night. You would annoy his brothers a lot and he would get you into trouble very often! So be prepared for some lectures by Lucifer. 

The fact that you self-sacrafice might end up getting you in danger but Mammon is also protective so it’s just the two of you protecting the other while doing someting silly.

Mamon definitely has many favors to ask for, so it’s nice that you don’t think of that as a turn-off! However make sure he doesn’t use you

 His love language is giving gifts so in return you can expect him to get you something! 

I think he likes affection but definitely not in public and he will deny wanting a hug from you with his life

Okay so the fact that you actually call out your friends when they are being unreasonable is something that comes in handy! Mammon gets bullied a lot by his brothers - sometimes there is no reason, but other times he is not innocent at all. So it would be nice if you could shape his personality a bit! 

I definitely see him with a partner who cares about appearance, so you being into makeup and fashion is a good bonus! He wants to set you off on being a model after all

He is definitely outgoing so you being able to sing and dance are great additional points! He will definitely show you off at some bars so be prepared!

I don’t think he is very fond of linguistics as really the only thing that gets him going is cash. He would probably look up how to make the most out of being a linguistic and he will definitely have a conversation with you about his findings

You two could definitely hit it off as best friends first! I mean he will not confess early, being a tsundere and all.

 Okay so Levi would be better at solving difficult situations logically as he is an admiral at the navy. However there is a reason why Mammon is the second strongest that gets overlooked sometimes! If an issue arises he has ideas to solve them! These are not always very great ideas and they might sound silly but most of the time they work! 

Mammon is definitely the best candidate to play-fight out of the potential candidates!! I imagine him being much stronger than you and giving you a hard time but he is not a sadist at all so he will let you win at the end 

[kae-karo]

Hi I used to be into the phandom so much but fell out in like??? 2017??? Maybe??? Has anything big happened at all? Has anyone died/caught on fire ( ;) )??

oh dear god where do i begin??? well fortunately both our lads are still alive. let me just start with saying 2018 has been like. probably the best year for dnp to date? i’ll try to go in some kind of order here but bear with me i’ll touch on a bit of 2017 stuff and then go into 2018 for ya

so first of all i’m not sure when you left the phandom in 2017 but the lads moved out of their previous flat in april of last year (x) (april-ish it was def before they posted the vid)

also our dear lil dani snot on fire is no longer not on fire (x) so uhh is he on fire now ig? i mean yeah that’s arguably true

*insert phil’s badaladala sound bc on the scale of Significant Things i don’t think anything else massive happened*

day one of demon month, we got this amazing vid from phil wherein viewers (aka dan) picked his outfits n he looked like a snacc and a half (would’ve been 2 snaccs if he’d embraced the quiff sooner but that’s getting ahead of things) (x)

!!!! then a week or so later dan posted his vid ‘daniel and depression’ where he opened up abt his struggle with depression (x) which was imo the start of him just being more open about himself in general. he also started working with young minds (a mental health org for young people in the uk) and shortly thereafter with prince william’s program to help prevent cyberbullying

then! on the day love was invented! dnp released their board game, truth bombs (x - yeah i linked the second vid and not the first, and wot) which u can buy if you’d like but it’s a lot of fun (x)

then these idiots did a conjoined jumper baking challenge and didn’t fucking wear shirts under the jumper like what dumb gays idk (x) but it was real funny and Good Content

then early nov dnp announced the interactive introverts tour (x) and then uhhh it happened (like 80+ shows??? in a ton of countries???) (x) and they’re releasing the filming of it along with some bonus content like a director’s commentary and u can preorder it (x)

also pinof 9 happened which as a legacy phan u know is always a Thing but this year it was especially a Thing so i recommend catching up (x, and the bloops - x)

and phew okay that’s the majority of 2017 Important Events but before i go on to 2018 i’ll just recap a few important events from dapg (basically just some gamingmas stuff):

wherein dan smacked phil in the face

and phil crushed the presents but dan helped him up

where phil pretended not to remember gamingmas was happening, leading to the most iconic simultaneous heart eyes howell/love eyes lester to date

dnp singing baby it’s cold outside together whilst playing yasuhati

iconic pinof 9 moment

dnp play charades but it’s phil’s turn, and he’s touchy

the not my arms challenge!!! playing mario kart

okay! and before anyone starts yelling i know there’s more but god if i put every iconic thing in this post would break there’s Too Much so let’s hop into 2018 bc it’s gonna be a long one

first i cannot believe dan fucking gave phil a philussy cake and phil’s parents asked phil what it meant jfc dan (x)

THE EARRING!!! dan’s first selfie with the lil hoop and it never leaves and we love it (x)

phil is just trying to take a selfie and dan ruins it (x) spoiler alert: phil gets him back in colorado (x)

okay big sigh two large events happen in march: the first, dan’s ‘trying to live my truth’ vid (x) it basically dan saying ‘i’m still figuring things out but i want to be more authentic and true to myself, and also authenticity is important for some people to feel happy in life’ vid that a lot of people hyperfixated on the end line of, where he said he would go ‘laugh at a joke with a chocolate bar and...something else in my mouth’ which people assumed meant a dick and therefore it was a subtle coming out vid, dan did a liveshow afterward (x) wherein he said that wasn’t the point of the vid and people got mad at him for ‘backtracking’ (if u want more of my Opinions on this feel free to check em out - x)

the second v v big event happened at the end of march when phil posted this iconic selfie that would be the downfall of the fringe (x) this has been titled the quiffening by some

shortly after that he began styling his hair in a quiff permanently which was probably the best decision he’s made since responding to one of his obsessed fans back in 2009

quick detour dan’s proud of his hubby (x) for winning fortnite and ‘fuxkung’ is now what ‘fucking’ autocorrects to in my phone

we also had dan releasing his merch (x) which is basically all black and themed around the eclipse logo and ‘don’t talk to me’, though he just released the exist line for world mental health day which has his quote ‘have the courage to exist’. he’s also mentioned possibly wanting to do more creative things like wide-necked or asymmetrical shirts dan just do a fashion line pls oh and he mentioned in a recent ls he might do an internet support group mug sometime soon

and then,,,,,pigeonfest. we watched. five hours. of phil livestreaming their patio. and literally nothing happened bc someone was like down on the street feeding pigeons so there weren’t even any pigeons for like 90% of the liveshow. but he literally didn’t talk it was just five hours of their patio and we all watched it. we all just watched it like the whipped phannies we are (x)

and then we got a brief but overwhelming dose of,,,,,,something from the easter baking vid (x) phil was hopped up on sugar and also confidence from his quiff and probably smth else as well

everything just blows up from there we have giving the people what they want (x) where, in preparation for ii (for which the underlying theme was ‘giving people what they want’), dnp reacted to pinof 1, swapped clothes, did the ‘yoga challenge’, recreated ditl manchester, ‘got a dog’, and made phil say fuck. honestly it shook the entire phandom to its core at the time but like. i’m less shooketh now? it’s sort of just fallen by the wayside in terms of how unpredictable dnp have been this year

then phil drops week in the life of dnp shortly thereafter which is just very very domestic even for them and their ditl style vids??? (x) phil filming dan in bed being one of the big demon highlights at the time

it’s right around this time too that insta stories start and my god it just goes jfc like i don’t even have the mental capacity to recall all the Iconic ones but i recommend checking out this playlist (x) which has all the ii tour stories goddamn there were a lot though they really put out that content didn’t they

in early may we get phil talking about why he changed his emo hair (x) and arguably the first official vid of the casual rebrand - phil’s more open and genuinely vulnerable about his fears about making a change to his hair, and i don’t think we’ve ever seen him that open before. the vids don’t stop being open though, with what dnp text each other (x) giving us coop and doop along with other iconic stories, dnp basically sitting on top of each other in that and other gaming vids on the tour bus, phil being very open abt his attraction to men (x) and the iconic final google feud vid with way too much of a specific kind of Energy (x) (ofc again there are More Vids but i don’t have the time/mental capacity to recap them all so i’m pickin the Big Ones)

monochrome mates (x)

phew okay so the tour in general as well - like if u don’t mind spoilers, i did a big ol analysis of what that was all about (x) but one of many many highlights is dan calling he and phil “best friends and soulmates” 

finally finally finally after months of waiting we also get some phil merch! (x) plant and animal themed, and he even released a lion plushie which sold out like instantly and he claimed he’d do more of but we have yet to see that. he says he’s got more ideas for other merch as well

now okay fast forward to october after the tour’s over bc i think the insta stories and the analysis cover it but then. then. then we get the pizza mukbang (x) thirty three minutes of dnp being more open and honest and casual than literally they’ve ever been on camera maybe ever, and i’m including liveshows in this statement. no holds barred, authentic vulnerable dnp. a religious experience

end of october spooky week hits us and i think the key vid to call out here is the creepy mind of phil lester bc i think it was another open honest authentic vid (x) where they talked a lot, casual domestic w.e got some insight into phil’s mind it was v good

and then they carve pumpkins jfc which was an experience (x) there were a lot of innuendos but also one of the first years they didn’t do a halloween baking in a while (though they have hinted at possibly doing christmas baking) idk i’m fully overwhelmed at this point lmao like a Lot happened this year

phew okay and Then just yesterday philly dropped his vid on why he went to (the) hospital (x) idk soz that’s a british thing i think like we say ‘the’ anyway. which i’ve been talking abt quite a lot lately but it was another very open and honest vid in which he expressed a lot of vulnerability and fear and perceived flaws and it was just a quality like. open vid.

jfc okay hope that helps obviously there’s a lot i didn’t mention, but this should at least get you caught up on some of the big stuff!! and while i’m at it have a few more Important Gifs from this year

a very important moment of communication whilst on tour, deciding whether or not they’re okay with doing a ‘third wheel’ pose

dan flinging himself off the chair in anger whilst playing getting over it

nose boop from phil’s instagram explore pages vid
