oh god i just remembered a dream i had last night where i somehow won a phannie sweepstakes that i didn’t sign up for and the prize was dan and phil staying at my house for two days.

the first night, i was going to sleep on my bedroom floor. i hadn’t seen them yet, so i wasn’t even 100% sure the phweepstakes was legit. but just as i was going to sleep, i looked up, and there they were.

dan was in my laundry room (which is right across the hall from my bedroom), doing my laundry (most unrealistic part of the dream, but as he fucking should). and phil? phil was standing like he was in this picture:

just🧍🏼but with a face more like slime!phil:

mixed with the energy of his reaction to dan saying superstitions aren’t real:

so basically, this is what i saw:

(that’s the actual view of my laundry room from my bedroom floor)

so i made eye contact with phil, which was a huge mistake. he started stomping towards me, slowly but with really intense stomps, like it was hard for him to move. dan turned around momentarily and then seemed to realise what phil was about to do, and without reacting, turned back to my laundry.

phil was getting closer, and i knew i was in trouble. as quickly as i could, i pulled out my phone to snap a picture for proof that they were in my house, because i always have dreams within dreams that i saw dan and phil and then would wake up still within the dream and have no proof. i managed to capture two shaky pictures before phil reached me and everything went black.

then i woke up (still in my dream) in a room i didn’t recognise. my mom was in the bed next to me. “mom, where did dan and phil go?!?!”

she looked at me confused. “what are you talking about?”

i didn’t answer her, i just asked, “where’s my phone?” my hands were shaking, i knew in that moment that at least part of it had been a dream, but i also felt deep within me that it really happened. i just needed the picture to show her, so she’d believe me.

i found my phone and unlocked it. with shaking hands, i went to my camera roll and clicked on the first picture.

the picture did show my laundry room, but dan and phil weren’t in it. there was, however, a blurry shape in the center. my mom assumed that it was just because the picture was bad quality, but i knew. i knew it was phil. and i knew that no one would ever believe me, that i would have to live with the truth for the rest of my life.

a bunch of other shit happened not related to dnp before i actually woke up for real, but that’s not what’s important.

what’s important is this: do not EVER let phil lester into your house. if he does manage to get in though, PROMISE me, whatever you do, you won’t look him in the eyes.

definitely let dan in though. he’ll do your laundry.

Good morning here's a montage of some of my favorite moments of 2024 (no spoilers)

[hips-dont-lieculosis]

Ok I’ve just had a truely eye opening conversation, I was talking to a non dan and Phil fan friend of mine and she casually said “oh well people only really watched them because it was like the mystery of whether they were together or not”

and then I remembered the line in Dan’s diss track where he says “the only reason you get views is because you’re another white guy that people ship with his friend because they think it’s kawaii” and now I’m thinking, is this true?

like I personally would watch them no matter what, like even if they both had secret other spouses, it makes me sad though that the general public and maybe even dan and Phil themselves could think that the only reason they’re entertaining is because their relationship is ambiguous, I think they’re genuinely very smart and incredible entertainers and they should be proud of that

[themarkofoxin]

every time i think about dan and phil becoming the internet’s go-to example of the Dangers of Shipping Real People it makes me so exhausted. for their entire fourteen year career together they have encouraged people to write fic about them and draw fanart and generally “be creative” as they always phrase it. dan specifically, outside of 2012/2013 when he was aggressive towards fans pestering him about it, at one point said he likes reading fic and that he’s often surprised about how good they can be. hell, they wrote fanfic of themselves in their own published book and hired a popular fanartist to illustrate a manga of them.

and then dan came out. and in his video he mentioned how stressful it was to suddenly blow up and have a bunch of people speculating about his relationship, and how it triggered him due to his trauma from being heavily bullied in school. and then followed up the segment talking about how past that point the fans’ support was actually very healing for him, and hearing people tell him that he had helped them be comfortable with who they were without him even being out was one of the things that made him confident in coming out in the first place.

but the people who write angry posts about the evils of rpf or whatever don’t care about dan and phil’s actual opinions. they saw or heard about how annoying the fans were, heard along a thousand-step telephone game that dan and phil hate their fans, and have now christened them the platonic ideal of creators whose lives were ruined because of shippers. it’s ridiculous. it’s unfounded. and it’s disrespectful to the actual existence of the people they’re propping up to support their argument

[amityyuri]

the dnp subreddit genuinely needs to change its name to r/antiphan because that’s what it actually is. if you’re going to make a dan and phil subreddit with the goal of avoiding phan, make it transparent, because the average phannie isn’t going to dan and phil subreddit specifically to ignore phan? that is a very small minority of the overall audience

the three acts of a magic trick (sources: 1, 2)

for anon: since "we know you know" I've felt being a phannie is pretending I don't know what Dan and Phil actually are, in order to have fun with them, watching them move the line further and further. and they've been doing it for so long, it looks like an elaborate magic trick

so "attention spans" don't have explicit testing criteria and is more a turn of phrase than a measurable thing. i've yet to find two "attention span" experiments that measure the same things:

what you're irritated about is an increased demand for quick stimuli. it's kids who are used to immediately receiving stimuli and having no way to cope with a lack of it act out because they don't know how to exist without it.

its algorithms that can easily feed us only what we want to see, and we can feel an easier build up of irritation in environments where that isn't happening

Being able to process more information in a shorter time span isn't a bad thing. People who do not know how to cope with their lives outside of short-form digital stimuli is a scary thing.
