now that phil's openly said he's fine with people writing fanfic about him and "another youtuber" i think the funniest move we can pull is start writing tons of fanfiction about phil and another random youtuber who isn't dan
being subjected to the things dan and phil tweeted at/about each other back in the early days feels like having to witness that one couple in high school that was full making out in the hallways at 8 am while you were running on two hours of sleep and half a ham sandwich for the next six hours.
the fact that i'm no longer the same age as the protagonists of novels and films i once connected to is so heartbreaking. there was a time when I looked forward to turning their age. i did. and i also outgrew them. i continue to age, but they don't; never will. the immortality of fiction is beautiful, but cruel.
the phandom feels like a small group of friends and then sometimes it hits me that there are millions of us. thousands on tumblr. we know what makes each other laugh, what moves us to tears, we have our inside jokes and shared history.. like tf do u mean we’re not all best friends who’ve known each other forever
I know we have been back in this era for a while but hearing Dan casually mention Phil during promo for a definitely solo project makes my heart melt.
They were so purposefully separate in their professional lives for a tiny bit as they found whatever they needed to find, but now they've got it they're straight back to mentioning each other like it's a foregone conclusion the people watching know who the other is. If you dont? Keep up I guess.
