[dapg-otmebytheballs]

Ok so I'm reading dnp fic now I suppose send me some recs of your favourites!! What I love: angst, hurt/comfort, even kinky stuff if it involves bit of angst. What I don't like: anyone getting outed without consent, graphic homophobia, psychiatric settings, high school AUs. I'd love to hear about your favourite fics pls send! ❤️

P.S. you can also send your own fic, and even if there's fic that has stuff I'm uncomfortable with I won't be mad just to receive the rec so dw send away!

being a phannie is about winning the rpf lottery at the cost of your mental health

Best RPF Ship - Round 1 Match 1

Propaganda under cut

Phan Propaganda

they are (dan's words, not mine) "actual soulmates" and their relationship (again, dan's word not mine) is "more than just romantic".

they live in a house together which they call "the phouse" and share the mortgage, they've been together for 15 years, they are both so insanely stupid that no one else could ever put up with them.

also! they've both said that rpf is fine and dan tagged phan here on tumblr last week so I think by definition we win rpf <3

adies, gentlemen, those that lieth betwixt... how many of your rpf ships can you confidently say have won? in which both parties are still together, working and living together, openly affectionate, zero evidence of other partners / potential for other partners, and have longevity and a committed community to boot? while yes, many a bandom ship and youtuber pairing has paved the way for us, not many can say they have definitively won, the way phan has won. they literally live together in a fuckass shiny modern home somewhere in the middle of london with a gay little nerd shrine shelf dedicated to the first video game series they ever bonded over. they not only think rpf is fine, they encourage it, they write their own!

to my fellow rpfer's: i admire your efforts, but phan already won.

absolutely no hate to the op but using dnp as the main example of rpf gone wrong is hilarious when shipping has only ever:

made them gayer

gotten them to buy a house together

gotten them to tour the world for the third time

made them gayer™

RPF stands for real person FACT. Every time you make Dan and Phil kiss in a fic they have to kiss in real life :(

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

thank you all for your sacrifice

Looking more into @lazydays-au and @queenusagiblog in general and if this isn’t proof that Dan and Phil dgaf, idk what is. This (very talented) person is making a literal AU of sexy catboys being horny together (and countless other cute, beautiful, romantic HORNY artworks) and managed to be commissioned at least twice to do actual real DNP artwork for the actual real people for the actual real branding on the actual real channel. And people are still having the rpf debate? PLEASEEE

Edit: guys usagi liked this post lol

sometimes shipping real people isnt even RPF. sometimes its just having eyes
