what nonphannies don’t understand is that it isn’t about “knowing” it’s about dnp’s queer joy and comfort level. we’re not happy bc they told us, we’re happy bc they felt comfortable and joyful enough to tell us. “knowing” has a weird power connotation. If you “knew” all along you’re trying to establish power over information that you don’t have authority on, and it takes power away from the people (dnp) telling you the information.

[yearningsea]

listen, there is a lot I can't put into words rn but what I will say is that Dan and Phil are some of the most realised, mature, and gracious online creators out there. they clearly did this for themselves and I'm so proud that they're finally at a place where protecting their joy means being openly themselves.

[themarkofoxin]

they do have their finger on the pulse of this fandom and understand it deeply. describing the way people treated sending shady links of the vday video like an initiation ritual into the true in-group was incredibly accurate to my experience. coupled with the visceral & violent language dan used re: how it felt (violated, assaulted, soiled) that segment was sickening to watch. i’m so glad people are older & kinder now and that they’re happy and comfortable.

confirming their romantic relationship while also asserting boundaries that the status is ours to know but the relationship itself belongs only to them is so important actually

Dan saying “that is not yours” when referring to him and Phil being romantic on camera is so important. He’s right, it isn’t ours. Just because they have shared they are together does not mean their relationship is anything but theirs. Forever.

[puzzledemigod]

My 26 yo self: I'm so happy for them, proud that they feel like it's time to share the truth with the world. I hope they feel freer and lighter, and that we can show our support without invading their privacy and we can prove we got better at respecting their boundaries

The 15 yo version of me that's trapped in the basement:

[itsgonnabeanofrommedawg]

dan and phil publicly forgiving their audience for ripping their private life apart. chronically closeted dan following that up by asking "phil do YOU forgive me for years of dealing with my bullshit?" and phil saying he doesn't need to forgive him. literally peace and love on phanet earth

The book is 1984, which is neither. It's anti-authoritarian, which tells you a lot.

Ya know, sometimes I wish the joke *didn’t* write itself.

Just a few things Charlie Kirk said about black people.

1) “Prowling Blacks go around for fun to go target white people — that’s a fact.”

2) “If I see a Black pilot, I’m gonna be like, ‘boy, I hope he is qualified.’”

3) “George Floyd was a ‘scumbag.’”

4) "[MLK was] just a man ... a very flawed one at that ... a mythological anti-racist creation of the 1960s."

5) "The 'Great Replacement' is not a theory, it's a reality."

6) "If I'm dealing with somebody in customer service who's a moronic Black woman... I wonder, is she there because of her excellence, or is she there because [of] affirmative action?"

7) Leaders "won't do what is necessary, which is arresting Black criminals."

8) "Black crime is a major issue in our country."

9) "What is the real problem exactly? The real problem is that Black fathers abandon the women that they impregnate."

10) "The problem is Blacks that kill themselves a lot — kill each other in inner cities."

11) "Black crime is a huge problem no one wants to talk about. It's not racism."

12) Black Lives Matter wants to "fan the flames of a race war in our country... This is an outright threat. A full frontal domestic terrorism in our country."

13) "A BLM-incorporated leader drove through the holiday parade" (re: Waukesha).

14) The alleged Waukesha attacker was a "Black supremacist terrorist."

15) Juneteenth "threatens the fabric of our country."

16) "Juneteenth should not be a federal holiday."

17) "We should not be like... "you're acting like a Trayvon'.... 'you're a Shaniqua.""

18) “Black women do not have the brain processing power to be taken seriously. You have to go steal a white person’s slot”.

19) The 1964 Civil Rights Act was a "huge mistake"

20) MLK Jr was "an awful person"

21) Multiple black politicians "stole white people's spots"

And then his last words was of him trying to bring up antiblack fallacies

[comradekarin]

not to be salty on main but the way some of y’all be so quick to want to write out jasper “empath” hale being the youngest major of an army that actively supported the enslavement of black people than to acknowledge how insanely racist it was for meyer to play the “native boy assaults white girl and the white saviors get his ass for it” trope with jake and that the main reason ppl fw with seth so much (and shit on leah) is bc of his lack of response to the shit the cullens pull like-

[comradekarin]

i was vehemently anti-Twilight when it was popular for hater reasons and then i was anti-Twilight during the renaissance for literary and political hater reasons and then one day i watched the first DVD one time and it felt like the cinematic equivalent of biting into a block of Velveeta and now i never stop thinking about how incredibly shockingly compellingly stupid it is

[mowritesstuff]

Genuinely so thankful that I read book 1 in middle school and was like "that edward guy is a creep" and didn't touch it again until after college

the only reliable, effective way of "protecting children" is education. but people don't want to hear that because they don't actually care about protecting children, they care about protecting a mythologised ideal of innocence

One time a friend told me that if she wanted to have a chill night she would come to me and ask for tea and a book to read. I didn’t like tea at the time, but I always made sure my cupboards had them in case she needed a quiet night. One time I told my boss that I loved oranges, but couldn’t peel them because of my nails. For a year he made sure to peel me one at least once a week. Once my friends gave me a made up superlative of “most likely to have a pen they could borrow” and ever since I’ve made sure I always carry a pen with me. A long time ago, my high school librarian told me that no one would care what my grade in my sophomore chemistry class was if I’m bringing them doughnuts and asking them about their day.

[coffeepeople]

Sometimes friendship is about carrying pens and peeling oranges. But the point is, surrounding yourself with people who you want to do the little things for. The point of it all is bringing in the doughnuts because you’ve found the people who deserve the doughnuts.

[coffeepeople]

And I’m so fucking lucky, and I don’t always say it or even think it. Because I have friends who send me letters and who told me when the cafeteria at work had chopped tomatoes and who want to watch Scream with me and it just hits me sometimes that this world can do the ugliest things to people, but as long as I still have a friend who will point out dogs on the sidewalks to me then I have something amazing to live for. And as long as I have pals who I want to make peppermint bark for, then I have a reason to keep pushing this world to be better.

What happens if Lily (Sisyphus) meets the Cullens?

Anon's referring to Lily and the Art of Being Sisyphus, a fanfic by me.

I mean, that's a fanfic, there's so many different ways this could go that I really have almost too much to work with here. How does Lily meet them? Does she have to stick around? How old is Lily/where is she in the fic? What point are we in Twilight.

I'm... afraid you're going to have to be a bit more specific here.

In general, though, Lily has no reason to stick around in this universe or be in a place where the Cullens are. Your best bet is a weird merged universe where Lily grows up in the Twilight world vice Harry Potter and as a result gets involved in shenanigans and bums around with the Cullens.

I could see her warping herself at a young age to hang out with a young vampire Carlisle who--eventually realizes that God has joined him on his vampire quest in the form of a little girl he can barely understand (but who claims to be English nevertheless). They get up to adventures together, who even knows if the other Cullens get turned or what even happens to the world order.
