i know exactly 0 one piece ships but you asked me about my favorite pjsk ship and in return i ask you about your favorite one piece ship now go and infodump 👍
THANK YOU FOR ENABLING ME BESTIE I LOVE YOU /P
ANYWAYS IT'S ZORO AND LUFFY IT HAS BEEN FOR A LONG TIME. I ALSO LOVE THEM PLATONIC BUT NO MATTER WHAT I THINK THAT THEIR RELATIONSHIP IS SO SPECIAL... I DON'T WANNA SPOIL YOU TOO MUCH BUT LIKE. I CAN LITERALLY WRITE AN ESSAY I HAVE WRITTEN AN ESSAY AND IT WAS LIKE 1000 WORDS AND I DIDN'T EVEN GET INTO IT THAT MUCH. IN GENERAL IT'S JUST. SOMETHING ABOUT THE AMOUNT OF TRUST THEY HAVE FOR EACH OTHER AND THE DEVOTION. THEY CARE. THEY CARE SO MUCH. LUFFY CARES ABOUT AND LOVES THE WHOLE CREW, OF COURSE, BUT SOMETHING ABOUT HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH ZORO HITS DIFFERENT. EVEN AS EARLY AS THE BUGGY STUFF WHEN ZORO PICKED UP THAT HEAVY ASS CAGE AND HAULED LUFFY TO SAFETY DESPITE HIS STAB WOUND? AND WHEN HE TRUSTED LUFFY ENOUGH TO LITERALLY JUST GO TO SLEEP ON THE BATTLEFIELD? IT GOT ME. THAT SHIT GOT ME. ALSO LIKE, ZORO IS ZORO. HE'S A PRETTY PROUD MAN, BUT HE SWALLOWED HIS PRIDE AND GOT ON HIS HANDS AND KNEES AND BEGGED FOR LUFFY'S SAKE ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS. AND HE IS QUITE LITERALLY WILLING TO DIE FOR LUFFY. PLUS ON LUFFY'S SIDE SOMETIMES ZORO IS THE ONLY ONE LUFFY WILL REALLY LISTEN TO AND TAKE SERIOUSLY. AND I CAN'T FIND IT NOW BUT THERE'S THIS ONE PANEL WHERE A BUNCH OF THE CREW IS PASSED OUT AND LUFFY IMMEDIATELY RUSHES TO ZORO AND HOLDS HIM ASKING "HOW COULD THIS HAVE HAPPENED WITH YOU HERE?" THE TRUST IS INSANE... AND THEN A MUCH SMALLER BUT STILL VERY IMPORTANT THING TO ME. ONCE LUFFY LITERALLY OFFERED TO SHARE HIS LUNCH WITH ZORO! I SEE THAT AS A LOVE CONFESSION, PERSONALLY... AND ALSO THIS BIT... THEY WERE ONLY SEPARATED FOR LIKE, A WEEK AND WERE LIKE THAT... IT'S LOVE IN MY EYES...
(Also bonus headcanons: To me they are both asexual and Luffy is demiromantic while Zoro is gay)

I've seen the rise, the fall and the rebirth of DanAndPhilGAMES. Honestly, I cannot believe we have arrived at this day and they obviously had to announce it in the most exaggerated and hilarious way. It's so them, and I am still trying to come to terms with the fact that we're going to get gaming videos by Dan and Phil post coming out.
I had just started watching Dan and Phil properly in the summer of 2014 and just a couple of months later, the very first video on the gaming channel dropped. Since then, the regular gaming channel videos have been such a huge comfort for me and so many others. Then came the hiatus, an indefinitely decision that caught the channel in limbo. It's made sense, in many ways leaving 2018 and entering 2019 spelled an important shift for the boys.
They retired several of their old projects, even pinof, and started to separate the entity of "Dan and Phil" and as such the gaming channel also had to go. I was gutted to see it go, but I trusted the boys were doing what they needed. And in the years that's followed, I've kept a small hope that it was never quite dead until they definitively said so. Hell, Phil had recently mentioned checking to see if Dil on the Sims save was okay, and we knew they still had that cursed Dil Howlter head from TATINOF somewhere in their nostalgia pile.
Today they used that very papier-mâché head again. The motherfucker rose from the grave and called the boys daddies, which honestly had me pausing and just doubling over in laughter at their horrified faces. And let's not even talk about the tweet an hour before the video cordially inviting us, as if it was a fucking wedding we were about to attend!
Dan and Phil are nothing if not extra, and I love them so much for it. It's been over nine years that I've followed along with their content and lives, and tonight just proved that I will never be dragged from the phandom. The instant surge of excitement, anticipation and a little dread upon seeing the invitation tweet and the video thumbnail still got me like I got into the boys yesterday. It's still so palpable in my chest even now, and I cannot stop smiling.
The gaming channel is and has always been full of comfort content for me. Dan and Phil know it too. They put it in the video, they put it in the video description, and just the way they handled this whole announcement all radiates that they're so aware of it. They know we've been here, waiting patiently, until they were ready to come back to it.
I would have accepted it if they had really decided to kill the channel, but man, oh man, I am delighted that it instead has come back from the grave. Risen with static flutter and a menacing Sims character who's story isn't quite over yet.
We get to have the regular banter back, but now with no filter at all. They don't have to conceal parts of themselves that they weren't ready to share, even if the gaming channel always felt more open and intimate.
I am extremely ready to parasocially see two domestic nerds laugh, bicker, scream and make questionable noises. I just know I will be right there besides them. Thank you to Dan and Phil for bringing back our comfort channel. It's a gift and we won't forget it.
