#Like Phil we know it's for you

[mellotronmkll]

This is so awesome

#The article makes it kinda sound like it's just for his sons but he's been obsessed with trains forever himself #Like Phil we know it's for you #psa to anyone coming here now this has notes yes this is from an old article and I know this already #It's from 2008 he's not releasing anything anytime soon I know

Dan and Phil seem to have shifted from keeping their relationship completely private to constantly flaunting their insanely in tune, soulmate-level connection. I don't know what inspired the change but I want them to keep flexing on us forever

#dan and phil #dnp #phan #like yeah we get it you hit the jackpot #most of us will probably never find a love like yours in our lifetime #yeah yeah yeah we KNOW

[thighguys]

[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.”

#like. saying it as in making fun of the concept? like mocking no homo. idk does this make sense. #like atp it’s not like we need ‘proof’ or whatever but i just think the way he said that was interesting!! and implies other things!! #it’s very we know you know #dan and phil #dnp #phan #two bros chillin’ in a hot tub energy if u get what i’m saying

mr. pote please explain shoe ig story for the ignorant (me)

not much to explain other than. dan posted an instagram story of their shoes pressed together

ok i guess ill share a LITTLE context. around late january to early february 2023 was when dan was having a mini-break from touring for philly's bday before he had to hit the road for the non-uk european shows. the thing is, there were kind of a lot of complications happening wrt tickets, especially problems surrounding the iceland show, which dan had hyped up as where he was going to end the tour, and pj even mentioned on stream that he and sophie would possibly meet dan and phil there and have essentially a double date holiday! the day before the Shoe Pic, dan had announced that the iceland show was cancelled. he posted the cancellation on his story in icelandic, here is the english translation:

Sorry for the frozen people. Couldn't bring this show to your island this trip, that's all I can say for now. It's on my bucket list to be with you one day. I'll see you then.

he then posted an ig story where he seemed to be out on a walk that was quite self-deprecating on the fact that no one takes him seriously "in life, business, or the industry." it was just a bummer day for dan. so a few twitter phannies (back when there was a Little peace) thought to make an encouraging hashtag for dan, #weloveyoudan to show some appreciation for him when he really seemed to need it! (this also spawned an in-joke hashtag my good friend @editingz0ne made, #giveamazingphilnukes, that phil tweeted about 💀)

so the next day, when dnp had both posted while at an apex legends esports competition thing, we all kinda inferred that this was a lil date, possibly as another phil bday present (still his bday week) or as a lil gift to cheer dan up, or both! and then. he posted the fuckin shoe pic.

listen. idk how to explain it. it just. felt like something so weirdly intimate? like, no idea what the context is, other than theyre sitting in the back of a cab and took a photo of their shoes pressed together. and like one is clearly phil's shoe and the other clearly dan's shoe, and i assume theyre the same shoe size (do not tell me wikifeet ppl i dont need to know) and so they just. fit perfectly together. and all this was after the harrowing previous day, and after all that dan just decided to let us in on this picture that is so silly and not really anything and yet feels so personal? its like when we hear their alien language in the texting vids, or that they get fries every saturday and call it "fry-day". like its not a bit its not playing up a dynamic for a camera its just. THEM! its just them!!!!!!!! anyway thank you for coming to my ted talk on the dan and phil shoe photo taken on february 5th, 2023 by dan howell.

#myrambles #phan #i will also reblog relevant ig stories from danandphilupdates in a bit #or you can check all the stories on indepthbants youtube channel and their 2023 playlist #this is like... its so goofy i know but this was back when we were STARVED for content #we were living off instagram stories like phil hadnt even posted a video yet that year #the shoe photo fed us for WEEKS like please appreciate the abundance of content we get from them now #and if we were starving in 2023 you cannot even imagine 2020 dude #i wasnt even around but i can just tell phannies who went thru 2020 have a haunted look in their eyes

Q!Philza has plenty of short comings when it comes to how he is caring for the eggs, (Bro does not pick up on subtext 80% of the time but when things are spelt out he is okay with how he responds, and short comings he has otherwise come from things he himself does). But, he is very dedicated to teaching them all the skills he knows to better them.

He's not good at emotions, he doesn't handle his own well either. But he has skills in survival and fighting and he's good at teaching that, he's good at giving them the knowledge they'd need to survive.

#qsmp #qsmp liveblogging #qsmp philza #q!phil seems to come from you know hardcore with some interaction from other places #so very likely that man DOES NOT know how to handle certain things in a healthy way #But he can improve and we have seen some improvement sense he's started caring for Chayanne and Tallulah #And i'm hoping will see more #any way I'm don rambling

[fazcatz]

I just know every time those articles came out during WAD era of Dan describing his and Phil's relationship, Phil would be like "Whyyyy can't this mf just describe our relationship like a normal person 😭"

#simultaneously a house pet #and a divorced couple #and two tortoises #and arch enemies #and just mates #but I guess the more convoluted he makes it sound #the more we understand just how strange and once in a lifetime #their care is for one another #which like #don't know what to do with that information #but thanks! #I am soooo happy for you #(I am so jealous that every time I think too hard about them I fall to my knees and clench my fists and shake them towards the sky) #dan and phil #dip and pip #daniel howell #phil lester #amazingphil #danisnotonfire #danandphilgames

[female-david-tennant]

Stresses me out how much ppl are like “OmG?!?! Dan and Phil knew about X post??” Or say they must have looked back on it recently or else how would they remember?

Bro. I think you fundamentally misunderstand them and the Internet parasocial relationship we have/had with them. They knew. They always knew. And I don’t want to put words in anyone’s mouths here, but it HURT them. Also. They’re not stupid. Y’all always think you’re so clever and sneaky.

I was there, at one point at like age 13, I grew as a person, forgiven myself, learned.

we’ve been invited back in so use your head and treat them with kindness, respect, and dignity. There is a way to interact, create, and bond while still doing that.

That being said, there was a lot of good to come from that circle, and we have a chance to cultivate it. Do that.

#like #those fics were traumatic #being in the public eye and constantly invaded was traumatic #I’m so thankful for that time #even if we messed up sometimes #either because we were young and didn’t know any better #or just hadn’t grown as ppl yet #idk how some of y’all have gotten this far without realizing you were part of the problem at one point #frankly #I think the whole thing is fascinating #amazingphil #phil lester #dan howell #daniel howell #dan and phil games #GRAAAAA #I say this all while noting that I do have a strong parasocial relationship to these two #I know it’s layered and nuanced

[elloras]

do you ever just get emotional about how much brett and phil love each other

#brett goldstein #phil dunster #i've been listening to other episodes of ftbbw #and like i guess i thought the kind of giggly excited smiley childlike side to him we see with phil was just him all the time #because that's what we tend to see with tl press. and like he's no less lovely with guests he doesn't know as well! #it's a joy listening to him interview people because he's always so compassionate and interested in drawing them out and all that #but like it's throwing into contrast just how downright *giddy* he was with phil and like a kid on sugar lmao. and maybe some of that was #it just being a live show. but he also definitely doesn't talk about sex as much with other guests lmaooo #i was also just thinking about how much and how easily we've heard them say i love you to each other and how much they talk about how much #they love each other and i feel like we do hear phil talk a lot more about how much he loves brett and definitely doesn't help that we #didn't get to even hear from brett for 1/3rd of all tl press but brett loves phil so much and i'm just so #i'm really weepy about it lmao #ted lasso #royjamie #roy x jamie #(this time it really isn't about them other than how that real life dynamic lends itself to the characters but tagging them #just for the audience lol)

guess who’s having thoughts about the birdhouse again

please free me it rewired my brain

Okay so idk how to start this, but I was just thinking about the was it a dream, was it not thing. q!Phil is unreliable in this situation, it fucked him over a lot and we can see that he doesn’t fucking know for sure either, he just went with it not being real

Now i’m not gonna pretend like I know which it is, I just want to point out silly things for both

First off, if it was real, it has a solid proof. Pretty sure Fit and Tubbo checked all of Phil’s house, even where he woke up, and he wasn’t there. Also, I’ve seen somewhere about the headcanon that Cucurocho can control dreams, which could also work heavily here, and explain some sentiments

Now for the it was actually a dream part, there isn’t as reliable proof, but oh god the possible angst that could come from this

When you dream, like literally not like aspirations, you are asleep, vulnerable. I think the bird house showed some of q!Phil’s most vulnerable moments. He sounded so defeated when Cucurocho showed up

Okay yadayada rambles, now for the angst

He dreamt that Tallulah wrote him a letter (didn’t know that when I watched it and for months after didn’t as well), with cords, where her and Chayanne could be. It was the best thing that could’ve happened to him. Missa came back, his kids sent him a letter. He just had to travel lightly and not tell anyone, and he would see them again

Then he was trapped, which we know for one thing, he doesn’t like. Look at his Hardcore world, his canonical dreams. It’s open, and he’s free, but his dream turned into a nightmare, being locked by a person we know he doesn’t like. The feds literally clipped his wings, being trapped by them if this was a dream was probably an amplified version of his emotions regarding that matter

Also for the it was real thing, he had a dream inside a dream, which was weird and knew where to go when he woke up, but bro also was in different clothes when he woke up for real

anyways those are my silly rambles

#i have thought about this #for too long #and you can tell #i think we need more birdhouse angst for phil #like maybe a convo about it with missa #or try and get the feds to admit if it was real or fake #but we know they lie #qsmp #qsmp philza #q!philza #qsmp feds #qsmp birdhouse #qsmp birds #qsmp cucurucho #also bonus #how many times can I misspell that name

[goldenpinof]

their commentary and mockery are wild btw. still can't wrap my head around it, but i like the vibes. the cat is out of the bag.

#it's like ughhh obviously #you know? #they know we know #dan and phil #gamingmas 2023 #phandom #they are meanies <3
