i can't stop thinking about these couple of seconds of dan's reaction to phil's "yeah" before he raises his arms and says "power move". arms down to his side, the smirk, the eyebrow raise. like yeah he's stunned but he also just looks so enamored by phil in that moment.

I know you probably won't answer this but I just wanted to say that you have helped me through some dark times, that I'm still in. Your videos have given me common ground to make friends, advice that I'm not sure I'll ever need, and good guide on what not to do and laughs when I'm feeling down. Youtube might not always been seen as a real or important job, but it really is. Thanks for doing it, and most of all, thanks for being you.

D: honestly, i have a lot of self-doubt and miscellaneous crippling self-esteem issues and i’m very cynical and tend to base everything around what the critics think. being told i have a positive influence on someone elses life means so much more to me than any kind of compliment. i’m not perfect and i don’t think i’m a big deal but seeing people say they’ve made friends through our videos or just smiled on a bad day is what keeps me going. i love you all and appreciate you all and now tumblr are saying it’s time to leave their office so this answer can’t be more articulate than this ramble as i type it.

thanks

You know what we need? A classic Dan and Phil games challenge. I want to see a silly little printed sticker go up on that silly little board.

I’m late guys, sorry for the delay I’ve been so busy.

Ok the ii reaction first of all SO GOOD! Second of all, I think they were so happy and more calm. I don’t know if calm is the right word but like a new leaf has been turned. Dan especially, omg our boy is so grown, the way he talks about himself and his past is sad but also makes you see how far he has come. I mean 2018 Dan and 2026 Dan are two different people. I love the growth and acceptance he has of himself. It’s so good to see and makes me even happier to see what comes next on this tour.

As for Phil, I feel like he kinda let Dan take the floor on this one. I kinda wished he shared more about his thoughts I mean there were several moments were I would like him to talk about. Like in his diss track when he says “the only reason I’m here is because people ship phan” I was wanting for phil to share his thoughts here. However, I couldn’t take my eyes off of him because have yall seen how he was looking at Dan in this video MY GOD. That boy is in love and I’m so happy for him. Maybe in this next tour we see more of his thoughts and feelings but overall I’m soo happy for them!

"I thought it would be a serve but it's a bit weird" BABYGIRL WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT

[diphowell]

to assert the vibes

[backin09]

also them screaming "KISS" at themselves in introverts has really deeply scared me for what is to come. like realistically no i dont think theyre going to kiss for real, but they are so very aware obviously that an on-stage phan kiss is like The Thing that we are delusional about for goofs every tour. and they are certainly going to make us THINK that they're going to kiss And that is going to be the most terrifying minute of all of our lives

phyurify’d a little something something…❤️💕💖

(see under the cut for context!) | more phan doodles here / ko-fi link in blog description!

-> my twt moot alex 🐌 suggested phan artists phyurify this frame from the recent video and i just had toooo ❤️ look at theeeem 🥹

it’s just sooo cute seeing dan ~grabby grabby~ phil like that (even if he was doing to for the #dramatic effect during the recent video haha) 🥰 while drawing the first panel, i couldn’t help but vividly imagine dani lovingly embrace and effortlessly swing phi around into an princess style ‘phil squat’, where they both emphasise how they are each other’s person 🥹 i just love drawing fluff man…

->i hope you enjoyed this mini comic while I continue to work on a long 12+ page human!dan x vampire!phil comic next (as of the time of writing this hahah I tend to jump between different projects). you can even see some wips for it here 🧛🏻 If you like cheese 🧀 and egregious levels of flirtiness …you’re in for a treat 🤭

i love when they emphatically say things that they know we all know but they get to say it now.
