[evermorepeyton]

dear dan howell, you might have thought you were being a funny hater when you said "phil is my favorite fruit" as in haha phil is gay... but actually, you ended up just calling phil your favorite. so actually, you are a lover, dan howell. a hugely embarrassing down bad lover.

And what if they were both snug and cozy

[babygirlphil]

Dan and Phil seem to have shifted from keeping their relationship completely private to constantly flaunting their insanely in tune, soulmate-level connection. I don't know what inspired the change but I want them to keep flexing on us forever

The thing with the "why are you making them look bad" "why are you finding reasons to hate" kinda responses when someone brings up racist remarks and microagressions both from back in the "fetus" era and all the way till WAD etc, it reveals the way too many people view bigotry as something that happens Elsewhere. Something that is done by Other People and not us you me the people around us the people we love the people we idolise. But everyone is capable of harm, and it's quite revealing with defensive attitudes like that that people assume we're calling to boycott or asking you to stop feeling anything positive towards them or whatever else it's built up to me.

Guys. Even we haven't stopped feeling positively about them (at least for the most part, and those who have, fair play to them we all have our own personal threshold for how much we tolerate). Like that's the whole reason we're around, you kidding? Nothing I watch is free from the problematic stuff. I watch comedians who make off-colour jokes but I still feel fondly towards those comedians without feeling the need to erase the fact that they make problematic jokes and need to do better. I watch shows with bigoted themes without feeling the need to scrap them completely but I also don't hold back on my criticisms just because I like the show. And if anyone else who enjoys these things mocks those criticisms or expects me to shut up about them I see it rightfully as the insult that it is.

These social issues are bigger than us, and the thing is they really do change at a snail's pace. But putting another hurdle in front of the snail by saying "this is just spreading hate, you just hate them, go watch something else then" isn't really helping that pace. It's just showing that because an issue isn't personally affecting you, you're seeing it as not worthy of receiving criticism.

I watch youtubers far more "problematic" than DnP actually. And I love them! And I see them grow over time, I see it reflected in how they talk in videos from years ago vs now and it gives me a lot of hope. But people change because they are given a reason to change. And trying to get those affected and hurt to not even express disappointment is not gonna get you anywhere except making it clear to us who is a safe person looking to make the space welcoming in a material sense and who is just keeping up appearances and waiting for us to tire ourselves out and leave.

A small revolution, if you will

[danandfuckingjonlmao]

ok everybody block dnp on all socials they have eyes everywhere. they know way too much. those omniscient fuckers are always watching. no one is safe.

like what do you MEAN you know about those stupid “real voice” compilations and people absolutely clowning about jumpcuts and smudged whiskers and what do you MEAN you’re aware of those 2009 phan theories people still debate to this day? what happened to “i don’t check my indirects” “i don’t go on the tags”?? i bet you’re lurking RIGHT NOW reading this very post. all men do is lie. can’t trust anyone 😤😪

[goingpheral]

I’ve seen a lot of people calling dnp the least problematic youtubers and I would just like to say: do NOT icarus us please we are filled with hubris and that never ends well so DO NOT accidentally manifest their downfall I am begging

[manchestereyes]

can we talk about these tweets for a second?

we know the pining is so strong here but read it again. really take the words in.

"i want to be there" - of course by this point, the pining was in full force. they'd been flirting back and forth for weeks now. they were already obsessed with each other, but weren't yet sure how deep the other's love had grown.

but after months of texting back and forth and hours of late night skype calls, dan was feeling more alive than he'd felt in years. possibly ever. finally, he'd found someone who understood him and accepted even the parts of him dan was certain no one would ever accept. and that someone was the person he'd been dreaming about for the past 2 years? surely this was a dream. but no, it's real.

"so you don't have to be brave" - this was it. this was dan laying his heart out there. he knew far too well how it felt to lie awake in fear, knowing you may never get to sleep. and it shattered him to know phil might have been feeling the same way. in this moment, he knew he'd fight off every one of phil's demons. even the ones that plagued dan himself too. if dan was there, he'd wrap his arms around phil and never let go. he'd let phil feel as scared as he needed to feel because phil had let dan feel broken and still wanted him.

and can you imagine how phil felt when he saw this?? finally, after years of feeling so lonely amongst his different friend groups, here was someone who understood him and wanted to be there for phil no matter what. someone who accepted phil's every emotion and cradled them with the utmost care in the world.

and yet. and yet he was a 3 and a half hour train ride away and phil had some exciting new youtube things coming up so it's not like he could make the journey whenever he wants. not to mention the price of a journey that long is absurd. yet it's nights like this where he would absolutely throw caution out the window if he could just to be with dan. so with his heart squeezing tighter than it's ever done before, he types out a simple "<3" in reply. because some moments don't need words. because for better or worse, dan has phil's entire heart now. but somehow phil knows he'll treat it with the gentle care he puts into everything.

so even though it's still 8 days until they meet, phil knows they'll be just fine. and he can't wait to share all these moments with dan, for as long as dan will have him.

remember when we thought we would get videos every day in june? yeah we were fucking stupid.

many people are afraid to be real lovers. dan and phil are not
