Here’s the thing they don’t tell anyone. When it’s all over, the streams, the cameras, the not-quite jokes and the bitten back flirts, they find a secluded room and fall into each other. Kisses turned bites and more, until they lie there, not quite touching. Sweaty and not quite sated. Some days he’s not even sure how much he wants George in that way. But a body is a body and the way that he and George can read each other is something so incredibly intense that it sets him alight. alternatively, Dream and George have been sleeping together for months, but no one else knows.

wishing all the dnfers a very pleasant go watch “basically I’m gay” by Daniel howell

i’m going to make a more coherent post on this once i’ve woken up a bit more. but after listening to that podcast i think it’s pretty clear to any person who’s ever been in love with their best friend that dream has caught feelings - regardless of what he may consider his sexual orientation to be. while jokes are hilarious and speculation and curiosity is natural - maybe it’s time to take a bit of a step back and let them breathe. this podcast felt like something we shouldn’t have been privy to. i’m speaking from the POV of a veteran phan shipper - shipping culture and rpf culture can put such pressure on complex relationships. i’m worried for them.

dnf is just the universal gay experience of falling in love with your best friend

you telling me that the past few days of dream being sus coincides with a heat wave currently sweeping florida. in the middle of JUNE?!

i can’t be alone in wanting helium to have a sad ending. to me it is the only ending it CAN have. h!george and h!dream have proven time and time again that their communication styles are incompatible. they love each other without a doubt, but that love seems to manifest more as an obsession than actually wanting to be considerate of the other person. all this is going to blow up in their faces - and i don’t think they’ll be able to save it. of course it’s going to hurt, and we’re going to cry - but it’s realistic and i really crave that catharsis in all their actions having consequences. ultimately, they’re more destructive than they are constructive.

As a community, can we all make a deal to stop with the dnf stuff when George or Dream gets a girlfriend? I was apart of the Markiplier and Jacksepticeye fandom when the septiplier thing was going on and it hurt to see people that would take the ship way toi far and hate on their girlfriends for 'stealing them' away from each other. This community already takes a lot of things too far and I would hate for it the same thing to happen to Dream and George. I already see a ton of "Dream and George belong together and no one else should mess up the ship" or "If anyone ever runs dnf operation fork is a go" things and it's not the best thing to see..

y’all are blowing up my ao3 and my askbox, so i’m just going to leave this here to assure you that three long months after it was posted to ao3....My Hands Are Shaking From Holding Back From You chapter 2 is coming:

“What the hell are you doing,” George hisses, as Dream abruptly realises they’re nose to nose, his hand wrapped around both of George’s wrists. Dream takes a shallow breath, he can’t help but glance down at George’s lips.

Airport, airport, public place, people, watches, stares. The panic thunders though Dream’s head, but there’s another, quieter voice, echoing from deep within him. One that urges him to breach the millimetre gap and press his lips, his body, his soul into the familiar indentation of George’s lips. To make people fall silent and stare while he shows the world what is his.

hey! are you still writing that story with the title from dress by taylor swift? i really like it lol

hey anon! yes i am! i’m unfortunately a final year uni student as well and i’ve been in the midst of applying for internships or doing exams in all my spare time in the past couple of months so my fics got pushed to the bottom of my priority list. But chapter 2 is almost entirely written and i’m hoping to get that out by some point this week! Maybe Thursday....watch this space

Nooo, that made me so sad :( I think once they meet IRL it’ll be like the honeymoon phase and until one or both realize and then it’s gonna get tough from there.

It is tough anon, people romanticise it but unless your best friend loves you back - it’ll be one of the roughest things you have to go through in your life. I was in love with my best friend for a majority of HS but I never pursued anything because I was too scared - I became very safe in loving her from afar. But when I went to university and started dating properly I realised how much I had screwed up because it left me unable to pursue a romantic attachment without feeling like I was cheating and it was incredibly unfair on the people I was trying to date - and I like the people I date! Any of them could’ve very easily turned into a long term relationship but I was held back for my feelings for my best friend. I made the choice a year ago to try and actively get over her - I reduced contact, I tried to enforce a little bit of distance for my own sanity. And it’s worked, for the most part. I’ve got a partner now that I want to try and be serious about - but even still somedays I’m so overwhelmed by the depths of the emotion I have for my best friend.

Coincidentally a year ago is also around when I started watching Dream and George - and I started watching them because they reminded me of mine and my best friend’s dynamic and I missed that. They’re definitely in the honeymoon phase right now of not having realised/thinking it’s just a crush/thinking the emotions are harmless but the real crunch point will come when one/both of them start dating again after COVID imo. And it’ll hit like a bitch - especially since distance isn’t really possible considering their jobs are so intertwined and how they want to move in together. Basically, they are very doomed.

i wish dream and george the best of luck because realising you were subconsciously in love with your best friend for years to the point where you have to actively try and get over them the same way you have to for a serious romantic relationship is a real bitch.
