ok heres how i split up the dnp eras (loosely based on dan's timeline in his interview w anthony)

2009-2011: the Sillies era :3 dan refered to it as being a dumb teen just posting cuz he was bored, which is like, thats what all of youtube culture was at this time. they met and like fell in love or whatever you know the lore dont you. phil moved from his parents home to his first apartment in manchester, and dan technically moved to uni but really he moved into phil's apartment to take advantage of his washing machine and ps1 and. yknow. other stuff. they officially moved in together in 2011 yippee hooray, the phanchester apartment holds a special place in my heart

2012-2013: THE SHIFT. they started getting Serious about youtube as a career, doing more stuff w the radio, superamazingproject started in 2011 but THE SHIFT is very easy to observe when you compare the first season of sap to the last season. ALSO. they were NOT A DOUBLE ACT AND NOT GAY 🙄. it could also be called the No Homo era lmao idk this is when a lot of shitty things were happening wrt leaked information, harassment of their families, and just generally becoming more in the spotlight especially while still in the closet being a horrible experience. but also, they moved to london and got cool opportunities with radio stuff and were starting to actually make a living on this shit.

2014-2016: Peak Dan And Phil™ Era. at the height of their popularity. they realized oh shit, we ARE a double act and not only does everyone enjoy us best as a double act, WE enjoy working together. tabinof, tatinof, dapgo, still doing the radio every month up until they start touring, 7 second challenge app, gamingmas, what the hell DIDNT they do during this time period (what they didnt do was uhh take care of themselves and not overwork and not blur their work and personal lives so much to the point where they felt like the whole apartment was a film set.)

2017-2018: Gay Softlaunch Era (aka post-baking aka glass closet) the baby steps toward authenticity, moved to the double apartment to separate work and life, ii's whole theme, dan talking abt depression, phil getting the quiff, both of them being gay as hell in every way other than saying it explicitly. important things of note: TRUTH BOMBS dropped, Interactive Introverts happened, still uploading gaming vids and honestly by the end you could feel their fatigue. and then they hiatused dapg.

2019-2022: ok these four years each feel like whole eras in themselves, but also theres an overarching theme. THE GAY ERA.

2019: im gonna futher split this year in half. first half- dad left to buy milk so other dad is taking care of us. rough six months for dannies im sure. important phil thing of note- he changed his film set from his "bedroom" to a fairly basic but cute shelf backdrop. honestly prob didnt wanna keep pretending that was his bedroom considering.... second half- DAN AND PHIL GAY. dan uploads his magnum opus. phil comes out via tweet. they go to japan and its really gay and it's The Trip to japan for them like yes they first went in 2015 and again in 2023, but Japhan 2.0 Was The One. what does this mean? proposal? anniversary? idk exactly but it was gay as hell dude and theyve talked about that trip with such love in their hearts.

2020: Phandemic (sorry that was bad) but also where tf is dan again? even with the big C-word happening, it was business as usual for phil, regular vids but make em gayer, caught a pigeon nbd, and end of the year introduces the Stereo app show Phil and Phriends where he's had chats with pj, louise, his brother, seth everman?????, and finally. dan reappears. they reveal that they bought and FULLY PLANNED a house together and are ready to move!

2021: they don't move house for another like six months! basically their house was (and is??) still being worked on AND they were in lockdown AND turns out at the end of last year, they were kicked from their Life apartment and were now living in the Work apartment so you can imagine what all of this can do to their psyche and lowkey they were getting sick of each other like it wasnt just bordering on phivorce it was nearly Phurder. Phidow. but to fill the time so that DOESNT happen, my favorite fucking thing ever happens: Lockdown Lads (and all the other names). the first taste of what a dnp podcast would sound like, with the added bonus of chaotic listener interaction. oh yeah also dan wrote a mental health guide book whatever (IM KIDDING I REALLY LIKE YWGTTN I WROTE LIKE TWO REVIEWS ON IT NOW) and they finally become Homosexual Homeowners. theres quite a bit more dnp content this year, dan being on phils channel a bit more, the phodcasts, dan's gay and not proud special.... oh yeah and hometown showdown i guess AND TEXT VIDEO 2!!! my favorite and my namesake!!!!!!!

2022: Prophecy Year..... but they didnt get married. dan returns with another longass video to say: hey i hate being a youtuber and also youtube majorly fucked me over. but also fuck that im gonna do a weird talk show and ALSO GO ON TOUR WITH THIS APOCALYPSE THEME! phil actually... slows down this year. more dan uploads than phil somehow??? but also Dan Is Leaving me is posted and i go completely insane and become the deranged individual you see today. WHICH FINALLY LEADS US TOOOOOO

2023-present: The Unhinged Era. dan's tour was a huge Emotional success for him but uh not without its hiccups due to management and all that and i think he and phil finally realize. Fuck It Who Cares. dan flies back to england FROM AUSTRALIA to make sure he can be with his future ex-husband on his birthday. CAKE HEART EMOJI. YELLOW PLAID SHACKET. they go on a gamer date and post a picture of playing footsies in a cab. THE PHUDE HAPPENS. they go to japan again and while this one will never be The One it was still a well earned holiday this time with bryony! and they took a bunch of very cute film camera pictures.... THIS IS ALL JUST THE FIRST HALF OF 2023 BTW. in phil news, he talks about going to therapy and figuring out how to manage his anxiety!!!! he changes his hair again!! he hires an editor, phan is his otp, he teases about the gaming channel a couple of times but so many of us already dropped any hope of that returning- OH WAIT WHAT THE FUCK?!!!? HUH!??!? they returned, and more chaotic than ever before. the gayness upped to the max, the Weirdness on full speed, the Horniness at Very Scary Levels Oh God Stop Talking About Dogging, phil can swear uncensored now???? and this energy has continued into today...

https://www.musikblog.de/2024/04/declan-mckenna-live-im-astra-berlin/ Im Zentrum von Friedrichshain, direkt an der belebten Warschauer Straße, begann sich das Astra Kulturhaus gestern schon früh allmählich zu füllen. Ausgestattet mit Bier und Weißweinschorle schlenderten die Besucher*innen durch die Räumlichkeiten, zogen sich in den Raucherbereich zurück oder sicherten sich am Merchandise-Stand einige Andenken des Hauptacts Declan McKenna oder der Vorband Soft Launch.

not christian horner putting a pic of his fave son (max) and his son in law/driver-to-be on his christmas tree. terribly humbling to know that i'm not even in the top 5 of people who want lestappen together no matter how badly i want it.

Not to bring Lestappen Gate 2023 back for one final time this year but they literally put Charles WITH A RED BULL STICKER ON HIS BACK on the Red Bull Family Christmas tree….a Christmas tree that not even all the Red Bull drivers made it on to (#Justice for Yuki).

Are they trying to insinuate….that they’ve successfully claimed Charles as part of the family at Red Bull Racing? Hm. Food for thought indeed because yes, it’s from the sticker war—but neither Lando nor George nor Carlos (who also got Red Bull stickered) made it onto the tree. Only Charles. Red Bull is making it clear that Charles deserves to be a driver on THEIR tree.

#now what is more likely is that they’re softlaunching the lestappen relationship but a girl can dream #lestappen #anon #asks #lestappen gate 2023 #charles leclerc #max verstappen

dan pulling their intertwined hands slightly towards him. if i think about it too much my heart will explode :((

i'm soo sick about it. cause the handhold is very framed. very intentional. it is front and fucking center and cannot be missed in that shot. for the purpose of the look, it is spaced directly between them. but after the cut. the natural drift over to closer to dan... genuinely every time i think about it i have to take a deep breath, which then sends goosebumps down my body. so. take that as you will. i'm not okay about it. meanwhile dan and phil are over here selling merch of it as if it happens all the time. which. i guess it does, they've just never shown us 😭

#theyve said the word softlaunch too many times and now i dont even know what counts as a hardlaunch anymore #therefore we must be boiled at this point #dnp #c.text #dan and phil #answered #phan #<- for the fandometrics

i would love to just grab a demon phannie from like 2015, take them into 2023 and slowly see them lose their sanity and look on life

#they really softlaunched themselves #dnp #dan and phil #danandphilgames #phil lester #daniel howell

to me dnp didnt come out in june of 2019. they came out on november 22, 2016, when phil had won the award for creator of the year and proceeded to call dan on stage despite this being the only award he won without him that night, which led to dan saying the universe would implode if they were ever stood more than a few feet apart. live.

Thinking about becoming accustomed to the symptoms of one's cold, like it's some familiar friend you learn the ins and outs of.

Imagine, if you will, A and B. B's been dealing with a cold over the past few days, and, while excitedly rambling off some story to A, pauses. Their breath snags, and they pitch into their forearm with a singular sneeze. This is all well and normal; B is generally a 'one-and-done' sort of sneezer.

A, knowing this, smiles at them, amused and slightly sympathetic. "Oh, bles-" They don't get far before B holds up a finger, cutting them off.

"Not yet," they say. They haven't lowered their arm fully from their face yet; it just hovers in the air, anticipating. "There's always more with this cold."

So A and B both sit in suspense for a while longer. A watches B intently, waiting on the edge of their seat for this alleged additional sneeze, but B's nose doesn't so much as twitch. Their breath stays perfectly even, their face completely neutral. A can only wait so long. "B, I don't think your second sneeze is coming," they say finally, biting back a chuckle.

B looks…almost disappointed. "But- no- I promise, there's always been another one-"

"Well, I guess your cold isn't so reliable after all. Now, you were in the middle of a story?"

B shakes their head, apparently still bitter about their missing sneeze. "Right. Where was ihh…hh-!" Their breath catches, and they hitch a few quick times before it happens: they sneeze harshly, desperately into the sleeve of their jacket. They stay in that position for a moment, sniffling dripply and blinking tears from bleary eyes. But when they finally come up, there's a shit-eating grin on their face. "I told you. Always more with this cold," they say, the smugness in their voice dampened by congestion.
