please say it (about phil/ken and public perceptions) (inquiring minds want to know)
Hi!! Sorry for taking a bit to reply as well, I'm not sure I actually know how to word this without upsetting someone in some way so I've been thinking about it and I still might fuck up, BUT I'll give it a shot:
in many ways way back in the day, after they became "Dan and Phil" instead of AmazingPhil and his twink boyfriend Dan, or just "Phil and Dan" if you're boring) the public perception seemed to be that Dan was the famous cool one and Phil was... just Phil? People thought he didn't look as good as Dan a lot (which.... mental!) or that Dan was the Interesting one in a way? Even though it started as the opposite cause Phil was already somewhat known when Dan entered the scene, it shifted a lot over the years, to a point that people wouldn't watch Phil or care about him, besides the phan aspect of him, even well out of the "we're different people" era.
Of course I wouldn't say it was a majority of their audiences, but there was a good chunk of Dan's audience that didn't care for Phil in general (as you could see from their huge subscriber gap) which also reinforced the argument that Phil was somehow the lesser one out of the two of them. In fact, the amount of Phil love we see these days absolutely warms my heart, cause I remember a time when people who truly appreciated Phil for Phil and not just Phan where a much smaller number.
So this comes down to the I'm just Ken thing. A lot of the times people perceived Phil as just the other guy from Dan and Phil, cause everyone was obsessed with Dan. I feel like he's always been incredible at giving Dan his moments, ofc, but at the same time it stung everyone who cared about him how much some parts of the public didn't care about him and treated him like "just ken" in a way, yk? Only interesting when part of a set with Dan, not individually.
Anyway if you remember the absolute NIGHTMARE that was Dangirls.... if you know you know! lmao You've been through War and I appreciate it, comrade!

screams bites my teeth. yeah the scene in 2.13 in the inn and arthur is having a sleepover with merlin and merlin won’t tell him what’s wrong and it has ‘entirely misplaced romantic undertones’ which is a real quote by someone i know btw which i found very funny. and he throws a pillow at him to start a pillow fight bc he only knows how to talk to him via physical violence & i think he’s very funny and in fact teenage girl coded. no one agrees but arthur pendragon is like if apple white was a blonde guy in the 500s. anyway that shit was crazy

SPAWNTOBER 6: circus
it’s a comical yet devastating universe / but it’s still the kind of universe that i deserve
[image description: an illustration of Chip from Just Roll With It: Riptide. he is wearing the same red-and-gold suit, white cravat, and black top hat as pictured in the Episode #74 thumbnail, as well as red striped pants and brown loafers. he appears to be mid-bowing, with one leg tucked behind the other and one hand behind his back, the other in front of his chest. he is smiling, but also crying with somewhat dull eyes. he is standing on top of a podium and in a spotlight. behind him are simplified silhouettes of crowded stands and a rainbow circus-top tent. /end ID]

The more I think about it the funnier it is that Mark was surprised that William is gay. Not bc of all the times they call each other gay (I don't think Mark would've done that if he knew) but bc William asked him to help him move.
William asked Mark to help him move into an apartment with one bed that he'd be sharing with his 'friend' and Mark didn't think about/question it at all.
Truly a terrible detective no wonder William had to plan the Reanimen finding plan all by himself.
