Moist Bread Slap Network

Are you a loser? Don’t know how to make gifs, edits, phanart, or phanfiction, or feel like you don’t contribute anything at all to the Phandom? Do you feel alone and voiceless among the sea of creative minds in the Phandom and don’t know how to make friends? Come join the Moist Bread Slap Net! 

The Moist Bread Slap Net is a network for people in the Phandom who feel like they’re just sort of there, not really contributing anything and just generally feel left out when they see everyone having fun with friends when they have none.

Pros:

New friends

Other relatable people to talk to

Don’t even have to go outside to get to know new people

Can talk about dan and Phil without feeling weird about it

We can play CAH all the time and other online games we can find

You can talk about whatever and basically we can be best friends

Cons:

I exist

How to join:

You can’t have any successful Phandom-worthy talents (like being a successful gif maker, phanfic writer, phanartist, etc.) This is a network for those of us who see these works of art and weep for our mediocreness

(If you make any of these things but can’t seem to get any recognition for your efforts, you can join!)

Fill out this form

Follow me (@lynxandbadger) please

Reblog this post (so it doesn’t flop like everything else in my life has)

There is no age limit, but preferably at least 16+ in case we get to talking about nsfw stuff or smth. Not that y’all can’t handle it, just it’s probably better that way

More info:

How I will be doing the network is described in this post

If you’re a jerk in any way (racist, homophobic, sexist, etc. you know) don’t even bother applying please. Go learn to be nice instead thanks

Applications close January 20 Sorry, closed right now! See the phase 2 post coming soon!

Thanks for applying to become a Moist Bread Slapper! Together, we can cry at our lack of talents and support each other and make memes about how we can’t do anything. We can create a team of friends who may not be well known in the Phandom, but will be super good reliable people to be there through anything life throws at us and who know what it’s like to be a nobody.

If this doesn’t get at least ten applications and flops I will be v ashamed and but not surprised lol. Please apply

hello my friends! this is the weirdest thing i will ever ask of anyone! but here i am, nevertheless, asking it! (yes the banner says dangoghs but im danghosts rn it’s only for halloween so o well)

in june of 2017, i made a post (here if it���s after halloween when u see this) saying that whoever reblogged would get a picture of a cat with dan howell’s face photoshopped onto it. this got 2k notes. for two weeks, and may i remind you that my final exams were during those two weeks, i must’ve sent out about a hundred or more of these cats singlehandedly. it was hard work. i had no bots or anything to help me, and i didn’t want to repeat too much so i made over 60 (as well as some my friends made for me) dan cats, or dats. to this day about 1,000 people still have not received their long awaited prizes, and it pains me daily. 

it’s time to stop. it’s time for the dats to rise. it’s time for the apocalypse. and with your help, i can make it happen. here is my plan. pretty much everyone who applies to this will be accepted as long as they’re not a creep. everyone will be assigned a letter or group of numbers. you must search through the reblogs for every person with a url which starts with that letter or number, and send them their dat. obviously we’ll have a message or smth as a caption because no one will remember reblogging that on instinct lol. 

how will it work? basically, i will make a shared google photos album with everyone who applies, and place all 60 original dats in there. you are welcome to either use those or make you own to add to the collection. this folder will become a DATabase for everyone to use. and, it won’t be that much work because there’s so many people helping. as well we will have a gc on telegram! 

how to apply: here are the steps!

reblog this post

fill out this typeform (must b willing to give email n have telegram)

follow the dat blog

if u want u can download the dat sticker set i created for telegram (which is increasing in quantity daily) (lov that dat merch)

that’s all !! i will stop accepting applications on november 20th, which gives u a full month to apply. have fun! live love dats!

[philester]

any tips on making internet friends?? im super shy but id love to have a friend from the phandom

just message people?!!! send them a meme or a post and be like LOL this post is wild! it might be awkward with some people but eventually you will find someone you click with! 

usually what i have found is when people message me saying “hi, how are you” the conversation stops pretty quickly because the other person just says “oh im doing well what about you” and then the other person replies “oh im good” and like it just stops there??? just go in headfirst about a topic or meme or post or some opinion!

you can always choose to apply to nets as well! @phandomnets is a place to find open nets!

How do I make friends on tumblr

a way i made my closest tumblr friends was from joining a net! @phandomnets is an account that helps signal boost nets currently looking for members and i feel as if they are a great way to meet like minded people in ur demographic.also just start talking to people! like slide into a mutuals inbox or messages and just start up a convo about a shared topic of interest (maybe dnp) or something that’s happening in their life or idkkkk just chat.all the friends i’ve made on here have kinda just happened randomly but tbh defs try and join a net or a group chat if you can!

[lesbiean-main]

Oml I need friends

join nets! just look up (if ur in the phandom) #phandom nets or go to @phandomnets! there you can find a ton of open nets that u can make friends in ! 

[network---boost]

Are there any other blogs that boost networks?

ahh other than @phandomnets idk !!

anyone know of other blogs? 

[dangoghz]

legitimate advice for new phandom blogs

hey !! so i know sometimes posts like ‘RULES FOR THE PHANDOM XD’ are made and they’re all like “numba one. dan is a squishy bean respect this uwu” but this isn’t gonna be like that lol. im just going to list a few actual things that might help people new to the phandom learn about and become integrated into the community! of course these aren’t ‘rules’ and u dont have to listen to any of it ofc,,, im not here to control ur blog, just here to say what people normally do. feel free to rb whether u are a new blog or not, ill appreciate it either way!

(NOTE: PLS TELL ME IF ANY OF THE LINKS DONT WORK AND ILL FIX THEM PERIODICALLY!)

italicized text is defined in the glossary at the bottom!

1. be interactive! 

here, unique to our corner of timmy darn communism, we have a lot of like virtual traditions that everyone knows. these help you to make friends and also grow ur blog with some new mutuals. here are some examples.

networks: networks, or nets, are a sort of selective gc, usually with a theme or concept that it’s based around, in which all who wish to be part of fill out an application form that determines whether they get in. this is kinda the one with the most work, as u also have to make a group blog and info post, but it’s definitely worth it. i have made my closest friends in nets (such as @phleurnet which i birthed), and a lot of people on here would say the same. if you want to know more or apply, my friend diana runs an update blog @phandomnets! (examples, these are all open btw: x x x)

meetups: meetups are not in real life, don’t worry. a meetup is when someone organizes a specific time at which we all post thing around a certain theme! for instance, on halloween on tuesday, my friend milo hosted a halloween meetup. usually people post selfies but if u are uncomfortable with that, u can post art, music, or anything else related to the theme. a blog called @phandommeetupwatch keeps track of these! (examples, all happening soon/just happened: x x x)

follow forevers: a follow forever is a big celebration post when u reach a follower count milestone, no matter 50 or 5k. u tag all of the blogs you love, and they reblog it to appreciate u! it’s really positive and shows people how their work has paid off. usually people are tagged in alphabetical order, and sometimes people bold their favorites but the stylization is up to u. (recent examples: x x x)

milestone activities: sometimes people do things for their followers when they reach a follower count that involves their followers requesting something! there are many many forms of this type of thing. a common one is blog rates, in which there is a set template and the blogger rates each blog that sends in an ask using the template (info post ex: x; rate ex: x). there are also url edits (x), name/url moodboards (x), and more. u can certainly come up w an idea of ur own, being creative is great!

talk to people: that’s right dude!!! ye!!! u can message a blog u think is cool, or send an ask if u think something they made or are talking about is interesting, or add something sweet in the tags (more on etiquette later) when u rb their post. additionally, sometimes people stir up discourse, and u should participate in it if u want (past discourse examples: x x). u can also send asks when people reblog ask games, which are a list of questions with a theme (new one of mine ex: x). 

2. play around with your blog!

customizing your blog can start giving you what we call a branding, making you distinguished from other bloggers. this can include everything from as simple as using an icon to coding your own about page. 

themes: a blog can be way more appealing if it is aesthetically pleasing. admittedly, i often follow people just because of the smoothness of their mobile theme. a mobile theme is rather easy to construct as u can do it on ur own with a phone. it is how ur blog looks on a phone. although u don’t have to do this, i recommend sticking to two to four colors on ur theme and avoiding stuffing it with a lot of bright things because it can distract from content. additionally, bloggers often make their descriptions short and succinct. (my fav mobiles: x x x.) on a pc, your blog theme can be customized completely on html, meaning there is a lot of freedom. u don’t have to learn to code for this, bc u can find free themes anywhere, just search ‘free tumblr themes’ on google. once again, be creative, but u shouldn’t overload. (my fav pcs: x x x.)

about pages: in order to avoid chunky descriptions but still let people know the key deets about themselves, bloggers create about pages. sometimes these bout pages are uncoded but u can also use html code if u want to. some common things in an about page are interests, maybe personality types/horoscopes/hogwarts houses, original content, and links to other social media. (examples: x x x)

urls: urls are a key part of your blog’s brand. ‘rebranding’ is what people say if they change their url! if u are tired or bored with your url, changing it is an opportunity to change your theme and other parts of ur blog as well. (url change ex: x). 

saved urls: saved urls are basically when bloggers hoard sideblogs in order to reserve the urls used for them. if you ever encounter a blank blog that has ‘saved’ as its title, that’s probably it. sometimes people like to give away their urls, either as a constant thing (ex: x) or by doing a url giveaway (x). either way, it’s a good opportunity to change it up!

tags: in order to keep their blog cleancut and organized, a lot of bloggers have special tags for certain people, certain topics, and/or certain types of media. many people in the phandom particularly have tags for dan and phil that match (strawberries and cream, lune and sole, etc). if they have many of these tags, there can be a page for their tags on their blog. this page can be coded with special html or just a regular tumblr page, it doesn’t really matter. but it’s very useful for those who visit your blog, and makes it easy for u to navigate older posts as well! (examples: x x x)

3. learn to make og content!

producing original content helps you establish what your strengths are and why people should follow you. it also allows u to contribute to the fanbase, and gives u a chance of being noticed by dnp! and the validation is lovely. there are many options if u want to make something. 

gifs: gifs are an ART here in the phandom, and its mechanisms still perplex me to this day bc ive never tried it. u probably already know what a gif is, but if not, its essentially a short animation made in photoshop that repeats. gifmakers are often distinguished by a unique coloring (example gifmakers: x x x), such as my friend emily’s smooth dark blue tint (x). it can be a long process to learn how to gif but it is very rewarding in the end, from what i’ve heard. (tutorials: x x)

art: there is a very wide range of phanartists, all with such talents, either digital or traditional, that you can draw inspirations from for your own work. you can make cartoons, comics, realism, abstract, nsfw even, or any mix (or none) of the former. artists on tumblr definitely deserve more attention than they get here on tumblr, so be sure to show appreciation towards them! (my fav artists: x x x)

edits: edits are the Graphic Designs of our community and are usually very aesthetically pleasing. they can be centered around a certain event, like a video or something dnp made, or just for fun. the more practice you get making them, the more dexterous u’ll become. they can be a great tool if u like the design aspect of art but don’t want to actually draw. (edit makers: x x)

icons: icons are just the little profile picture that u can insert for ur blog. it’s really easy and fun to make them, kind of like a lazy version of edits. you can make them using photoshop or an app like picsart or medibang, and it doesn’t take a lot of time. more on how to use icons in section 4. (examples: x x x) (my lil tutorial: x)

moodboards: moodboards are nine pictures arranged 3 by 3 that have a certain color scheme. it’s kind of like a collage except the photo feature here separates the pictures for u. there are a lot of innovative moodboard makers that stun me w how pretty it looks or how they arrange the pics. moodboards are also an easy and fun option! (moodboard tags: x x x)

textposts: this is by far the easiest and more common form of content u will find. it’s just writing about dnp in a textpost! if a textpost isn’t very serious, people also call it a meme or shitpost. shitposting is defs on the rise here so its a good business to get into. it’s also a great outlet for ur emotions or personal connections to what dnp do! (example talk tags: x x x)

fics: by far the most famous media to come out of here, phanfiction is a popular form of phan indulgence. u have probably heard of the most scarring ones (list: x), but there is actually a really vast range of it, not just creepy smut! some other genres are fluff, angst, and slow burns. u will discover that, despite the sterotype, not all fanfiction is bad. you can find lovely fics on @phanfictioncatalogue by genre, au, or topic. and, if u need help writing something, many writers would love to help. (a few well-known fics: x x x x x)

4. tumblr etiquette!

i know tumblr might seem like a simple social media (or perhaps not after u’ve read all the above?) but there’s a lot of things that u just....u just don’t do. it’s sort of like virtual manners, and if u don’t follow them, then it’s unlikely that people will like ur blog. once again, this is by no means me forcing u to run ur blog a certain way. it just happens that the types of ppl who break these rules are who we mock in gcs :////////. so yea, here’s some advice.

credits: if u decide to use someone’s art, edit, gif, or icon on the theme of ur blog, check what they require of u before u use it. most content creators strongly ask for credit in the description of ur blog, either by link or like ‘icon/header/art by ____’. it is just a common courtesy to the person who spent time on that, and if u think credit will ruin the aesthetic of ur blog, a) u probably don’t have an aesthetic in the first place and b) learn to appreciate art, binch. 

anonymity: anon asks can be very powerful either negatively or positively depending on how u yield them, so make sure that u are careful with what u send. compliments are always welcome and criticism as well, but blatant rudeness or hate will do nothing. u will only make someone feel bad about themselves and it will not accomplish anything. also, u face the threat of all their friends turning u into a meme. 

sensitivity: a lot of people here are way too easily offended by harmless jokes, a common example in the phandom being when we insult dnp affectionately and people take it way too much to heart. please don’t start drama over something w no real meaning. however, there are times when it is indeed necessary. if u want to criticise a blogger, be respectful of them simultaneously. by all means, if u spot someone being racist, homophobic, transphobic, misogynist, or the like, feel free to call them out on it. but beforehand, make sure that u have done ur research and are educated on the topic, or u could turn out to be blatantly wrong. 

adding to posts: everyone makes this mistake when they start out here and that’s totally okay, but adding to every post u reblog is incredibly bothersome. a rule of thumb would be don’t add anything unless what u say will actually improve the post significantly. if ur additions are along the lines of ‘LOL’ or ‘i relate!!!!’ or ‘philly is a smol bean XD’, learn to use the tags for heaven’s sake. they’re there for not only organization but also for commenting. some exceptions, though, would be if u are mentioned in the post or the op is your close friend. 

respecting privacy: this should already be obvious to u, but respect dan and phil’s boundaries. do not tag them or their main tags (#daniel howell, #danisnotonfire, #amazingphil), in any phanfics, phanart (like specifically with them as a romantic ship), or phan edits. do not talk to their family members, expose their personal info like address or phone number, and do consider that they are real people just like u. we may make things based around phan, but it is kept in a community for us and not for dan and phil’s eyes. this is very important.

5. have fun!

sorry if this is all overwhelming, but i tried to make it as simplified as possible. and also sorry for the sass, i’m kinda tired of all the ding dongs on here and want to prevent further ding dongs from being created. thanks so much for readin and be sure to send me an ask anytime if u have questions! welcome to hell!

glossary

timmy darn communism: me being my usual weird self and replacing ‘tumblr dot com’ with random words that start with the same letters

mutuals: someone who you follow and who follows you; usually who u interact with most

rb: shortening for ‘reblog’

discourse: when theres is intense discussion of a certain topic, sometimes phan-related sometimes not, sometimes serious and sometimes silly

branding: the word ‘branding’ kinda started as a joke, but it’s generally what we use to call what someone’s blog reminds them of, whether it be a certain color or a discussion topic; my branding, if u asked a mutual, would probably be impressionism, tea, and baguettes (dont ask ab that one)

html: a simple type of coding used for designing websites! u can learn basic html here or here, it’s way easier and funner than it looks

dnp: dan and phil; we also say ‘deppy’, ‘dip and pip’, ‘the boys’, ‘the rats’, and more

coloring: basically the stylization of a gif, shown through filters, textures, contrast, brightness, etc. 

talk tag: a tag in which all of the textposts that a person makes are sorted into

phanfiction terms

smut: porn fic :/ 

fluff: just what it sounds like, a type of fic that usually has a lot of soft stuff like cuddling, flirting, and looooove

angst: a fic with a lot of drama, usually sad or very emotional

slow burn: a fic where a pairing, in this case phan, slowly falls in love

au: stands for ‘alternate universe’, a fic in which dan and phil are written not as youtubers but in a completely different scenario (ie. bad boy and new guy in high school, university students, space exhibition, anything u can dream up really)

anon: short for ‘anonymous’

op: short for ‘original poster’, aka who made the post

[philester]

Hey, just wanted to ask something real quick. My friend and I would love to socialize a bit more with other Phandom members and to join a group chat. Sadly we don’t really know how to do that because we’re not able to find open group chats or are to awkward to just message one single person. Do you perhaps have a few tips and tricks for us?

I would say look at @phandomnets! they reblog all the current nets and gcs! If you don’t like any of them make your own gc with your friend! :) thats what @boncasphan and I did! We wanted a group chat for people who were closer to our age range and so we made one!

[scifiphan]

Hey, I'm also younger and was wondering how to find nets or group chats with people of a similar age demographic?

check on @phandomnets !! there are always new nets being made and i can promise you that you’ll find a net catered for your age/interests

[danisnotalesbian]

I’m extending this by a couple of days because I just have a lot going on right now and don’t have time to go through all the applications so I might as well have it still be open!
