okay it's been a long ass time since i put together a dnp-related rant on tumblr but today is worthy of it jesus christ

Phil has seen every single version of Dan starting with when he was 18 ;__; If we are reduced to tears for the bits and pieces of Dan we’ve had the privilege of seeing, imagine the emotions for someone who has truly seen it all. He’s been w Dan literally thru every stage; before/during/after law school, depression, working together, moving 3x w one another, etc. I can’t imagine how emotional it would be to watch someone’s ups + downs for 13 years and then come out triumphant with a beautiful stage show. Like.. Phil is really someone who has seen Dan through his entire adult life. The beginning of it, the present, right up until the end.

We get emotional making comparisons of WAD to 'Hello Internet' because it's really unique to have your development as a person just pasted all over the internet. But all we have ever known is Dan's internet persona. Sure, we get pieces of his personality and we have a gist of what he's like, but we don't know him the way Phil does. Their connection is unfathomable and Phil knows him in a way no one ever will. We've heard of Dan's perspective going through challenges, struggling with existential crises, dealing with depression, seeking therapy, etc. We've heard those anecdotes after they happened; Phil lived it with him. Which is why I think today is just that important to Phil.

Phil got to see 'Hello Internet' before it was even posted onto YouTube for the first time. Fuck, he gave Dan advice and encouraged him to post for the first time. He supported Dan from the start. He has seen everything that we haven't, and now that WAD has come to a close and it's on YouTube forever, it's all come full circle. From helping Dan with his first YouTube video to sitting with Dan to watch this beautiful stage show on that same channel, Phil has been there with and for him since the beginning.

something so precious about how phil always supports dan :,)

No but like- I KNOW we sound crazy. I know that outsiders would see this as tinhatting, but the thing is...there is a pattern for when they're leading up to a huge announcement about their personal lives. They don't just drop a bombshell on us out of nowhere. They do drawn-out soft launches where they slowly start dropping more and more hints and that's what's been happening since even before the DAPG return. We've seen this pattern with the move to the 2nd London apartment, coming out, and the phouse. Dan and Phil are intentional. They wouldn't just drastically change their behavior publicly like this for no reason. It's clearly leading up to something. The question is what

Phil's Math Breakdown method

18 x 4 = 18 x 2 x 2 = 36 x 2 = 36 + 36 = 36 + 30 + 6 = 66 + 6 (count 'em on your fingies) = 72!
