if you could sit dip n pip down and ask them to explain one (1) moment of commonly agreed upon "phan proof" in its entirety, what would it be, and why would it be the 'lion babe' incident?

I know you all will already agree with me but I need to rant.

I hate so much when people use Dan and Phil as an example of why shipping/rpf is bad. Not just because if you actually engage in Dan and Phil's content at all it is very obvious shipping did not ruin their relationship and they definitely don't hate it . Not even just because I believe that shipping and rpf are good, I don't think its inherently bad but I acknowledge there can definitely be issues with it.

I hate it so much because it is so dismissive and erasing of the real complex queer experiences Dan and Phil, as well as many other people, went through. To say that teenagers thinking two men would be a cute couple is what scared and traumatised them ignoring umm yknow homophobia, horrific bullying, and the feelings of deep loneliness and never being understood and accepted for who you are? I would also even argue alot of the young fans in the early 2010s that did harass them about being gay or together did so because they also didn't understand these complex and difficult queer experience. Dan and Phil were not scared and closeted because of shipping they were scared and closeted because of HOMOPHOBIA you idiot.

Did Dan and Phil's fans also traumatise them? Yes, but idk man I think it was more to do with them harassing, stalking, and trying to out them, and not because they wrote stories about them fucking or zoomed in on their shoulders brushing. It was also because the way they became famous was very weird and new and unexpected, which led to them not having boundaries. There was also maybe not so much concept of a digital footprint, so suddenly they are famous and not ready to be out but oopsie they used to flirt on twitter because they were young and the internet was not mainstream.

Dan and Phil's story does have so many interesting things to discuss about celebrity, shipping, internet culture, parasocialism, and queer experiences. But if you actually cared about Dan and Phil at all your conclusion is not going to be just "shipping is bad and evil :(".

I didn’t plan on posting this here but then I have to speak my truth, PIP IS TOPPING ALUCARD FOR SURE

[everything-is-as-it-was]

I would have LOVED to be a fly on the wall when Dan inevitably read the Word document containing young Phil's fanfic....

What I want to know: If Phil really did read it for the first time on camera, did Dan read it before or after him?

[evermorepeyton]

i want so badly to come across one of these comments because this doesn’t feel real, i don’t go much on tiktok but is this……. real?

[helpimsleepdeprived]

if I had a time travelling machine:

- visit the dinosaurs

- give a sprite to a victorian child

- save the library of alexandria and my girl, hypatia

- go to a day in the childhood life of phil lester (im gonna join the kool katz)

[gremlinshatephilosophers]

I forced myself to be patient - I didn’t vote in my own poll, I didn’t check the results ahead of time and I didn’t even post anything else on this page until the numbers were in

*drumroll*

Dan and Phil meant to take a northbound R at Herald square but went south instead because they didn’t read the station signs beyond the line colors!

It was a margin of about 35 to 26 votes (southbound flatiron truthers I see you, you’re valid)

I might need a day or two to adequately research (would you believe I’ve taken the W to 23rd before I’ve ever taken a single train anywhere at 34th street?) but dnp versus actually reading the subway signs (34th street version) fic will be coming soon!

Thank you all so much for your votes (in my first ever poll)!
