*Taps microphone* is this thing on?
Hi.
I feel like every time I come back on here, its for a different reason but alas, I always make my way back lol
Its a bit wild because I stopped really caring about Dan and Phil around 2021. I dare say even 2020 because I don't genuinely remember much about that time period that involved them. I got super sucked into other fandoms and grad school and suddenly I'm a 27 year old adult working a real adult job (with health insurance which is a bonus ngl) and life is speeding by.
I start branching out with my interests and now its 2023 and I'm watching heartstopper, buying tickets for the Eras Tour, speed running into a young royals addiction (even finished the WHOLE duolingo Swedish course btw. Can't speak a single word tho lol). And oh, what's that on the horizon? Red, White, and Royal Blue which completely took over my entire life and sent me down rabbit holes you would not BELIEVE.
How is this all relevant? Well, I completely ditched Dan and Phil during this time. Which is strange because 2016 me would have genuinely cried if someone told her that she would stop watching the two men who saved her life and also helped her seek mental health care and feel comfortable enough to realize I am a formless asexual blob of a person.
So, imagine my genuine surprise when they hard launched. I literally had to ask my discord group if it was real because I was so confused. Having not watched them in so long left so many gaps in my knowledge of them.
That one video completely sucked me back in to their world. I've caught up on all the videos I've missed and have serious fomo of selling my TIT tickets. And it really does feel a bit like im coming home.
I've contemplated starting this blog back up again where I left off. But I don't know if I will. Mainly because my priorities lie elsewhere now. I have an amazing job and coworkers and I don't feel the need to bury myself into an online space anymore. I've read almost 125 books this year (which I haven't read a book since high school), gone to fun events with my coworkers where we laugh and have fun, and spend my time at work doing everything I love.
So, all of this is to say: I have really missed Dan and Phil and I am so beyond happy to once again support them on this new journey. I also can't wait to get my patreon membership card in the mail ;)
I may start interacting again but I think my days creating are over. So if you see me lurking, hi. Ill see you all around soon!
