dan reading “love is real some people just never find it” comment on a lifeshow and going “yeah, I guess” with a soft smile. realistic guy who can’t say “noooooo everyone finds love!” but who also has found it

diabolical

every time dan tried to give relationship advice on younow it felt like a swift punch to the gut

the inquisitive mind of phil lester......

[howellingclips]

And this is why I know there is no secret bloopers reel where they act romantic. You don’t have a worksona for 15yrs and then unintentionally slip. Everything we ever see is intentional. Which lowkey makes it more special

Can you imagine how hard it must have been to work with your secret significant other on a live radio show?

^_^ and even hold hands ^_^

You gotta be “not on fire” professionally when living with Mr “arson, as a treat” Lester

The Christian Sunday school boy really jumped out here

Dan looked genuinely shook that Phil would say that.

[howellingclips]

This is how I realized I’m a very very cooked dannie

Wait why does pink hair Dan look so good tf I was expecting it to look shit. phyuri artists where are you

[howellingclips]

How did he set up so perfectly for the arborist and arsonist joke???? That was some synced brain bullshit. Never in a million years could two people make that joke unplanned unscripted.

This is how I found out there was a new video… why are you uploading in UK lunch time and not America lunch time brothers I was asleep :(

"you're not getting a present now"

As someone who also thinks Dan is me and I am Dan, i agree with all of these lmao.

BUT I think he’d eventually grow out his hair when he’s done performing gender/sexuality. Not as any particular statement but just. Less focused on it being a certain length to look more queer. (This all happens after doing and maintaining the big chop)

i love how since the pholnde reveal everyones kinda agreeing on how phil would be a butch (a princess, but nevertheless a butch) but what about dan?? i dont think lesbian dan would be a femme necessarily but he wouldnt be masc plz help

anon i'm so glad you asked because i have so many thoughts about this because dan is me i am dan. i think dan would have started out more generic goth that led into more femme scene vibes (basic razor cut with clip in extensions that'd she'd mostly wear for pics/going out and specifically vans slip on ballet flats NOT converse because she looks to "boyish" in them and of course a hello kitty phase because how can i be a dyke if i love hello kitty)

then that progressed into 2010s hipster normcore skinny jeans + cami + zip up hoodie combo. still with a razor fringe cut but her hair is long enough that she doesn't wear extensions anymore. makeup is still heavier black eyeliner but now she wears lipstick sometimes when she feels too "lezzy" (obviously she's still deep in the closet and i am once again saying can we talk about phan yuri lipstick gate where fi has lipstick that's not hers on her neck/pillow)

she did a "big chop" post coming out (standard issue new lesbian short bob) and honestly her style is pretty much the same as real life dan because gender is whatever and dan is a formless blob no matter what so like mostly jumpers and basics with some funky luxury pieces thrown in (and also more clothes stealing because butch phil has cooler clothes i think)

[howellingclips]

dan and phil seem to understand phandom quite well but do you think there are things that they don’t get (yet?) at the moment?

oh my fucking god where do i start

i think sometimes they revert back to the assumption that we only care about their romantic relationship/we want more than they're comfortable showing and we're only around for them to ~perform~ the ship for us? especially when they are a bit more vulnerable and gentle with each other, obviously we react and get very excited because they're just. a stunning example of what could be and a beacon of joy for queer people but i get that for them the reactions can still feel like people screaming PHAN IS REAL when they made eye contact. but like...it's just not and it never was that for so many people? i do think they fundamentally understand the difference and have said they appreciate the support, but sometimes you can just feel the walls going back up just a bit (which is fair, easily startled feral cats vibes) but like!!! i don't want you to fuck on youtube actually!!!

them going from (incorrectly) assuming the entire fanbase was 14 to now incorrectly assuming the entire fanbase is 22 when they've literally talked about half their demographic stats being their age or older!!! blah blah blah it was the loudest demographic and most vocal and the whole 'dan and phil are my dads' thing but it's also a self fulfilling prophecy when they don't speak to their own age demographic and constantly pull focus to younger crowds this isn't necessarily a bad thing but i know it used to bother dan in particular when it was kind of his own doing like girl why were you making school exam videos in 2016 asdafsdgjk i think also hanging out in pjs streams where he vibes with his own demographic more is so chill and nice and i think dnp would also really enjoy that? like the peers instead of parental vibes

"OMG THEY TOUCHED" IS AN INSIDE JOKE WE ARE ALSO IN ON BTW

semi related to that but i think they sometimes forget we're just as sarcastic as them? like dnp make a joke and then we joke back and then they're like "ugh you guys didn't get it we were joking obviously :/" (lovingly)

Dan is/was clearly more feminine. There’s a social commentary here about associating gay men with femininity etc that I don’t have to spell out it’s right here I’m just pointing at it.

once again so incredibly funny that phil was seen as the more believably straight one for so many years. this is the gayest man alive on earth
