Dan has graduated from NYU and needs to find a place to live in New York with very little money. Cue a cute coffee shop barista who happens to have exactly what Dan needs. This was written for the Phandom Reverse Bang. Thank you to my amazing beta, Tasha @yourfreindlyblogstalker. Check out the artwork by @candanandphilnot here.

New Rule
Stop saying “I suck.”
Seriously, stop it.
Is that what you want people to think about you? No. You want them to think you’re great! And you are!
Stop telling people about how crappy your art is or how bad your writing is or how you’re stupid at math. Stop apologizing for not being perfect. No one is. You don’t have to apologize for being human.
The next time you type, “Sorry this sucks, but-” or “I know it’s not any good, but-” or “You don’t have to look at my stuff because it’s awful but-” delete that part of your sentence and leave whatever’s left. Give people the chance to enjoy what you made or be proud of what you accomplished before you tell them they should be disappointed.
Something I’ve been enforcing on a Discord server I’m on (the r/fanfiction server, it’s really nice) is The Jar™.
Think of it like a swear jar. If you say you “suck”, or anything along those lines (to be interpreted however your friends like), you have to pay the jar.
The payment? One (1) positive thing about your writing, or writing 100 words on your current wip. I tried to bump it down to “a sentence”, coincidentally (hah) after the “should be writing” jar got implemented too and thrown at me, but that got vetoed. >.>
So, either you say something to counter the negativity, or you have to make more stuff (and thus improve).
Also works for art btw, just swap out the 100 words for an art equivalent.
If you feel like you can’t just leave out the ‘I suck’ substitute it for a neutral statement. I often say something about the work process “it took me a long time to come up with this” “this is a quick sketch in class” “this was an idea I had while on the bus”.
It’s an easy “filler” that (for me) takes a bit less courage than immediately jumping to the things I like about it, and it gives me some perspective and helps me appreciate it more. What didn’t I like about this? Was it because it’s a rough sketch? Well I did this in 10mins, so that’s pretty good for that. Did I expect to write more in these 3 hours? Maybe, but that was a lot of work.
And it does the same for people who see your work. Knowing an artists/writers/etc creative process helps me appreciate their art too. Knowing whether something was easy or difficult or took a long time invokes different feelings. If you feel like you need to put yourself down so your audience will be gentle with you, don’t! Do something like this instead
I love @hyperactivehedgehog‘s suggestions!!!
Also, feelings are feelings and it’s your art, your words, your blogs. But when folks who are just learning and have far less skill than you do see things like “I suck and this art is horrible” but they’re really impressed, it can really leave them worrying that they’re not good enough.
hi! i'm writing for you for the fic exchange, and i just wanted to ask if you were triggered by mentions of past sexual assault? thanks so much :)
Hi :). I’m not. Thank you for asking.
Once again, I just appreciate him making such an open video SO MUCH. It's so eye opening hearing all the things he was going through the last few years, many of which we knew nothing about..
it just makes me realize what a strong person he is, how much he actually does think of his job and never takes his position in life lightly, and how much he thinks about what he wants to put out there and how he wants to present himself to us.
Hearing about his family struggles and his struggles with anxiety and work these last few years put so many things in perspective for me. It's so easy to look at his videos and just think that all he's doing sometimes is making silly, easy to watch videos to keep his channel going (don't get me wrong, I ADORE these videos), but realizing how much of his private life and struggles he censors to create exactly the experience he wants us to get from his channel is really eye opening to me. It'd probably be easier (if not more successful, even, going by how many popular vlogging channels there are) to fall back on sharing everything and getting people involved in his private life, but he doesn't want that. It's so nice that he lets us see glimpses of his personal life but I respect his work ethic and actual real ambition to create specific content (no matter how chill or simple it looks at times) so much!
This gentle reminder of how much effort and thought he puts into who he is to us and what he shares and how much he works was so important to me. I honestly respect him so much for the way he manages his career and the way he's never taking it for granted, treating his own content with the respect and thoughtfulness it deserves
im so proud of phil for sharing such intimate details of his life
phil still managed to be nothing but a ray of sunshine during his ENTIRETY of his career despite in the background dealing with an explosive rise to fame just as his dad got sick, investing their live savings into an uncertain career path, bridging the social media age with the traditional media, management and creative freedom issues, deaths in the family, and learning how to be their own managers and business owners. all because he wanted to make people happen no matter what was going on in his personal life. this man fucking radiates nothing but light and goodness and i appreciate him so damn much
a reminder that dan and phil aren't disappearing, or abandoning us and that both of them have said that with their own words. the vibe i keep getting from them is so hopeful and bright and just...ready? they're taking space to heal, to grow, and they're still planning on taking us along for that journey, but now they're being more authentic with us and trying to establish boundaries and parameters that will make things feel better for them and, therefore, better for us. they like...trust us again. they want to be authentic. phil wants to follow his dreams and dan wants to be a mental health ambassador and an lgbtq+ activist and they want to be youtubers too because they love it and us, but they want to be healthy about it and i am so, so proud of them. dan and phil are so smart and so caring and they love us so much, and now its time to just trust them, because everything that has happened since june 13th has felt so right. the future is bright
“i didn’t really talk about it online at the time, as i wanted my online presence to be something that you guys can come to forget your worries rather than taking on mine. while this was all going on, it made it harder as on the outside, it just looked like i wasn’t planning anything new when in fact, i was trying to work on stuff at the same time. when you’re working on something, you don’t wanna be annoying and be like, “secret project coming in three months!” it’s better to wait until you have something interesting to share or just “beyoncé” it. the problem is when you suddenly announce it, some people will just think it was just an easy, breezy task that just magically appeared. it is never a breezy task. this made me realize that people only know what’s happening in your life if you’re talking about it online, as there’s so many daily vloggers and people that share the most intimate juices of their life. and seeing everything in that person’s life is totally normal. so whether i’m keeping what i’m going through or what i’m working in private, it can seem like from the outside that nothing’s happening at all. sometimes i wish people knew that i was having a hard time with my family or overwhelmed with work. like one time, we spent ages working on a dan and phil travel series, that we spent months working on. we had a whole crew assembled, we pitched it to people, and it was ready to go when the people that commissioned said their plans had changed. that we’d have to wait a year to film it, which totally clashed with all our other plans and we just had to let it go. so yeah, i guess there is more to life than what someone’s posting on social media and you never really know what someone is going through or what they’re working on.”
it’s important to keep this in mind
You Can’t Walk Alone
Summary: Dan was looking forward to his school trip to Disney World with his friends for over a year, but his friends are closer to each other than Dan. So, Dan ends up rooming with an older student, Phil. Dan may end up with a new friend or maybe something more.

dan's panel was not about dnp. dan's panel was not about phan. dan's panel was not about dnpgames.
dan's comment was talking about how their past posting schedule was bad for his mental health. so he spoke in the past tense.
clearly dan is happier now and is in a better place mentally.
if they said they'll be back at some point, they will be back
they're not liars, they're human
phil has been out to his family and friends for a really long time but he really waited for dan to feel comfortable to come out on his own terms so he could come out to the world too. because he couldn’t come out on his own without implying dan. so phil really let dan take all the time in the world to feel comfortable with himself - and also allowed dan to reveal things about phil’s sexuality before he had the chance to do it himself - and only after that he could let us know like “btw i’m gay”. all this time he’s been out to the people in his life but when it came to the rest of the world, he waited for dan
I’m so damn proud of Dan and Phil omg 🌈
dan and phil saying they’re happy with such sincerity in their voices means more to me than i ever thought possible but here we are
dan’s 40 minute production verses phil’s 7 min video with ginger and coming out of the closet jokes is just so Uniquely Them and im glad they’ve rode this wave of pride and strength together and im so so so fucking proud and happy for phil
phil making a humoristic video and managing to balance joking around about certain things while still having an overall important message, talking about his own experiences, letting people know that your sexuality is okay and the people who don’t think so don’t deserve to be in your life, all while finding a way to be funny, is so incredibly phil and i’m so proud of him and i’m so happy he’s happy
