#interest: dan and phil

[rebloggingmywaytolesbos]

Holy shit, I found it. I've been looking for this fic for years. Thanks to @phanfictioncatalogue for archiving this. This is the fic that made me realize I was trans, start sobbing in my bed, and then open up the absolute classic babynames.com

not to be parasocial but i need to see dan and phil in a casual dinner environment where phil is talking and asking everyone questions with dan talking at his unintelligible frequency to engage in conversation and phil interrupting the conversation he started to include dan in it and making everyone go silent so dan can repeat what he says

this came to me in a vision (Pinterest board)

TUMBLR PHANNIES

hey everyone!! ive created a survey to compare/contrast phandom experiences by platform....and i really want to hear from you!

its abt a 5-15 min time commitment depending on your answers, but your feedback is invaluable and it's completely anonymous!! (i hope it doesn't need saying but this survey is run without platform bias and the last thing i want to do is pit people against each other! i just need a bigger sample size!)

Phil

[simplydnp]

something about dan's "philip michael lester" versus phil's "daniel" when they're full-naming each other

[philsrosesweatshirt]

actually. upon reflection. phil saying ‘why can’t two bros just tackle each other’ in that tone is. very telling. giving “we know you know.”

[wildflowers-and-madness]

how do i explain to my friends that dan and phil are youtubers, comedians, radio hosts, cinematographers, and indie musicians?

the fact that they could just casually introduce the new places of the phouse or even film the videos there without really mentioning it, but noo, they decided to make A Thing out of it.

it makes me think of the role their living spaces have played in this parasocial (and sarapocial) relationship we have. because they've always been A Thing, that's nothing new.

their beds became part of their brand, they let the internet into every inch of their first london apartment during a time where they really gave their everything for youtube. then they took a step back, and set boundaries for themselves with the sets in the second (fake) london apartment.

it's understandable that they want to keep their (p)house for themselves and not let the whole world into this thing that's so intimately theirs. but, as they've mentioned before, at the same time they do want to show off what they've built and designed (pretty sure they talked about this on a stereo show or something). and they obviously know the curiosity is there on our part.

so when they share they do it deliberately and with purpose. and by making it such A Thing they're taking control in a way. because it's not us pointing out these things, they already make the jokes themselves, basically making fun of us but in the process still show us new corners of their house and let us in a little bit more.

it's like with 'they're touching', by pointing these things out themselves they take away some of the power we have over their experience but not any of the fun on our part. they acknowledge it and spin it in a way that works for them. at the same time it works for us because it's very transparent and they're not not doing that thing where they lie to us again (to quote them).

it's pretty neat this way I think.

I didn’t think anything could beat my genuine investment in Dab and Evan’s relationship but I never should have doubted DnP’s ability to manifest a potential polyamorous relationship between a goth queer cheerleader, another goth who hates him and may or may not have been involved in an alien abduction, a blonde rich guy and a jock who’s now questioning everything he knows about life

Welcome to philosophy with Dan Howell, today we will discuss such important topics as "Love isn't real" "Democracy is problematic" "A life without dips is no life at all" and "A clone is not meaningfully different in any way from the thing it is a clone of"
