seen multiple posts in the dan and phil tag from the last 24 hrs about how shipping dnp and rpf about dnp are bad

when will we be free from this nonsense

i feel like dan losing his mind over the impossible quiz rn like how many times have they said shipping and rpf are fine. fucking hell 😭

In 2025?? Are you serious. Who are these people.

[maddie-the-mess]

remember when

(if anyone doesn’t know why this relates to phan, its because dan was drawing a cactus and he was ignoring phil)

[maddie-the-mess]

Brothers watching Brothers 😌 (are you picking up a theme to my fandoms now?)

[maddie-the-mess]

A thought :)

[maddie-the-mess]

[maddie-the-mess]

Fullmetal Alchemist?

[maddie-the-mess]

do dan and phil switch in reality? yes definitely. But i had to endure 10 years of people calling Dan a whiny baby pastel bitch bottom just bc he's slightly younger and perceived as more feminine than phil so im going to keep calling phil a bottom any chance I get

[maddie-the-mess]

You guys,,, I miss them so much it's crazy 😭😭😭

When I'm sad I always imagine walking up to the doors of a bookshop in Soho and being let in by an angel who takes me in and makes me a hot chocolate and listens to my problems while his demon partner wraps me in a blanket and helps me choose a book for the angel to read aloud to me

Virtual Dash in 2 Days!! (and Other Updates)

Hi all,

This surprise mid-week update covers Virtual DashCon 2, IRL con panelling updates, merch updates, and a quick FAQ. Let’s jump right in!

Virtual DashCon 2!

It’s finally here!! Tickets are dropping this Friday at 12:00PM EST! You can find the page here on Eventbrite.

Virtual DashCon 2, or ‘VirtualDash’ as we’ve started calling it, isn’t supposed to be scraps for folks online to pick up, but its own experience. We were overwhelmed by just how many people wanted to attend DashCon 2, and this is our way of opening up the convention to anyone who couldn’t make it. As always, the goal of DashCon 2 in all its forms is to connect people and build community, digitally or in person. And yes, The Duel will be live-streamed (as well as both Strange Aeons’ and the Croaker’s panels!).

Without further ado, here’s a quick breakdown of what Virtual DashCon 2 will look like:

Once you’ve bought a ticket to Virtual DashCon 2, you can access our Eventbrite page and our private Discord server.

The Eventbrite page will host livestreams of select IRL panels and events. Scared of missing something? Virtual ticket holders will get permanent access to the panel recordings! Here is the (tentative) schedule for IRL live-streamed panels:

The Idol Showcase and Drag Show cannot be streamed for copyright reasons.

Over on Discord, online-exclusive panels will be hosted. Here are only a few:

Colonization, Class, and the Society of The CW Network's "The 100" A mid-level dive into the current fan culture of “The 100” through a queer studies lens.

Voice Acting 101 An introductory course into the world of voice acting. Headed by Jazzy Oliver (voice of Paintbrush on Inanimate Insanity)!

Archiving Fandom: Web Archival and You Fandom is built on an increasingly shifty foundation in the Internet, and its history is worth preserving—here’s how to get started!

Fanfiction on the Changing Landscape of the Internet How the internet has influenced the dissemination and consumption of fanfiction, from pre-internet fanzines, the rise and fall of fanfic dot net, and the modern ubiquity of AO3.

Tumblr Memes Throughout History Tumblr’s greatest hits and heritage posts resulted in a lot of memes. Let’s take a trip to the past and highlight some of the gems our beloved hellsite has to offer.

These have not been collected into a schedule yet, as more panels have yet to come, and hosting virtually offers a lot more flexibility.

Other Activities

Within the DashCon 2 Discord server, a variety of non-panel activities abound. Discussion boards, a virtual cosplay catwalk, video game/stream rooms, small-group/midsize-group VCs for friends, and a virtual Dealers Hall are all on the agenda!

We’re still working on the logistics, but we’re developing virtual accessibility for the charity raffle, so you’ll be able to donate to charity and win cool prizes, too!

Virtual Volunteering

Applications for virtual volunteering—both mods and panellists—will open next Friday! (May 30th). Virtual panels can be held nearly any time of the convention day, so folks from earlier time zones are encouraged to participate!

A Minor Panel Name Change

Eagle-eyed attendees may already have noticed: the panel “Trans Health Care” has been updated to be named “Cancer, Transness, Neurodivergence, & You”. (For a panel about transness, a name change is pretty fitting.)

This name reflects the contents a lot better. Our panellist discusses how gender-affirming care can intersect with cancer screenings and treatment, and what to do about it. They also touch on how neurodivergence can intersect with cancer treatment, as well as the incredible strides in cancer research that have been made over the last decade.

While the subject matter is heavy, it is both incredibly important and underdiscussed. If it wouldn’t suit the vibe on con day, we highly recommend checking out the recording when you have the time.

Trouble at the Post Office

Canadians are already well aware, but the Canadian Union of Postal Workers is gearing up to strike starting this Friday. We, along with many Canadian small businesses, hope negotiations go smoothly.

Rest assured, we are using alternate shipping methods to process Wristband Mailout, however, it looks like some of our merchandise shipments have been disrupted. Merch pre-orders will still open this Friday, but the attractive photospread we promised (specifically the t-shirts and buttons) may have to wait a few days. We will keep you updated.

A Quick FAQ

How can you tell if I bought a ticket in the Discord server? We have a custom-made ticket validator bot that automatically applies the ‘ticket holder’ role to people who enter the server. Panels and activities are gated behind this role.

I’m European. How will I participate in DashCon 2 panels? Naturally, IRL panels can only be hosted in time slots accessible for people in EST. However, online-only panels can be hosted by non-North Americans, and can be hosted much earlier or later in the day. We’re working to expand accessibility for all who want to participate, no matter where they’re from. The recordings of all the physical panels will, of course, be available in any time zone.

I’ve applied to volunteer IRL, but haven’t heard anything back. Was I rejected? Not at all! We’ve received an incredible number of amazing applications, but we’ve prioritized connecting with volunteer Team Leaders first. That’s just wrapped up, so you’ll be receiving more information soon!

A Note From Our Accessibility Coordinator

It has come to our attention that emails from our accessibility coordinator may be going to attendees’ spam folders. If you registered for more info on accessibility, please check your spam folder ASAP! Especially if you applied for wristband mailout, as accessibility wristbands will be mailed out with standard admissions wristbands.

how to deal with the feeling of guilt you get when someone you've stopped talking to bc they broke your heart sends you a nice bday message and says they miss you and you know they mean it, but you also hate them bc they broke your heart and don't wanna talk to them again but you feel BAD because they sent a nice message, but ALSO you HATE them bc there's love there that THEY'D PROMISED TO YOU BEFORE BUT THOSE WERE JUST WORDS. And you feel guilty for not engaging even tho you know you just should cut it off completely, plus you ofc just can't stop thinking about them because you loved them with everything you had
