What’s this about other YouTubers trying to “catch” Dan and Phil for content? I know there were “jokes” onstage at vidcon but have they talked about more? That’s fucked up

anon i don't think we could ever properly explain just how common it was. like how do you even do it justice

youtubers trying to get dnp in the background of their vlogs (if not just shoving a camera in their face without asking) was a sport. because it was guaranteed views!!! because part of vidcon/playlist as a fan was to watch every single daily vlog from every single creator to see your fav for 0.5 seconds but if something dramatic happened then that's a massive spike in views/money for the creator. youtubers knew that having dnp in their thumbnail was like printing money

the majority of it was using dnp for clickbait on videos. fucking SHANE DAWNSON hiring psychics for a video to ask if they were secretly gay, making a conspiracy video using phan proof/their formsprings, talking shit about them with emma blackery. let's not forget evan edinger publicly tweeting that every youtuber had seen the vday video!!!!!

so many major youtubers made them the butt of the joke because they were popular and kind and had lolz crazy fangirls and never once did they retaliate to ANYONE ever. god they need to be paid a percentage of all of youtube's revenue for life

[ahappydnp]

something from today's pod episode i haven't really been seeing anyone talk about but has been haunting me all day is phil saying that when he was born being gay was considered to be a mental illness. like just that sudden jolt realizing how recent the strides in queer acceptance have been, considering phil lester, the guy i know as silly modern internet youtube creator, has had his lifetime overlap with an idea we consider so outdated and could've genuinely ruined his life if it had stuck around longer

i think what's more shocking (in a good way) to me is seeing all the younger people being surprised by it? because obviously as someone in my 30s i grew up in the same time with that same rhetoric and i genuinely forget that people who are now in their 20s had a WILDLY different experience to us and did have a base level of queer acceptance that did not exist in the 90s/2000s

this is why pride is still SO important!! this is why queer education is critical!!! because yeah one of the most influential young gay men of the internet age was born into a world where he could have grown up to be considered unsafe

sharing a bed (even if we have to push them together) | phan one shot

Summary: After hard launching, Dan and Phil finally find time for a holiday and they are pleasantly surprised when their hotel bed nicely decorated, clearly for a couple. Dan thinks back on how different things were a decade ago during TATINOF, when young Dan and Phil would book a room with separate beds, only to push them together because they didn't want to sleep alone.

Word count: 2.7k

Tags: Reality, established relationship, 2026!phan (with 2016!phan references), sharing beds, hotel rooms, introspection, domestic fluff

A/N: Happy pride month! I was not the only one feeling sappy about the new bed sharing lore from TATINOF. Of course, they pushed their separate beds together. I love them so much. This is my usual style of sappy fluff.

New phanfic! One of those where the inspiration came and struck me down with a hammer until it was written. Just a soft little thing, but who would not get sappy about DnP pushing hotel beds together during tour? But now they don't have to book separate beds anymore! Sedate me perhaps.

i'm just going to be such an emotional wreck this entire month. like it really is hitting how much they saved me in so many ways and the dark and scary place i could have found myself in if it wasn't for them and the community here. you all mean the utmost world to me in so many ways. thank you for being a welcoming and bright light in my life 🌈✨💕

it really does just bring me to my knees how defiant they were in a way when it comes to having been closeted for so long and terrified of speculation and homophobia and still pushing beds together and phil’s boncas moment and the way they still showed so much love for each other in videos and you can say oh well they just couldn’t help it or oh they were young and “didn’t know better” but they knew better than i’d say anyone ever and even if it did spring from a love and enjoyment of the other one that was hard to contain or limit, it was still moment after moment of choices made for 16 years.

like dan has said, he hadn’t exactly been subtle, and neither had phil. idk i just think that even at their most afraid and most closeted they were bold and they were so brave. they shouldn’t have had to go through all of that but they really were still doing their best to be themselves when they couldn’t be out.

it is trans visibility day so i transed your dan and phil 🏳️‍⚧️ have a wonderful day i love yall

[andibecameaphannieovernight]

I think that this pride month, as a phandom, we need to emphasize identities outside of the most common ones in our community (i.e. people other than lesbians, gay men, binary trans men, and bisexuals). I think we need to take time to celebrate trans women and other trans femmes and enbies and intersex people and asexuals and aromantics and polyamorous people and people who are just plain queer without more defenition.

I love you trans-woman phannies and transfemme phannies

I love you nonbinary phannies and genderqueer phannies

I love you intersex phannies

I love you aromantic phannies and asexual phannies and phannies across the aro and ace spectrums

I love you polyamourous phannies

I love you phannies who don't use labels, and phannies whose labels I didn't think to mention

We're all here, we're all here, and we're all filled with existential fear
