100 reasons to love Philip Michael Lester
Danās appreciation post
Iād like 2017 to be the year we really show our appreciation, and honestly there are so many reasons to love him and who said showing a little extra love and appreciation would be a bad thing? So I present to you, 100 reasons to love Philip Michael Lester a.k.a. @amazingphil! Donāt hesitate to add to the list!
His name is literally my aesthetic, as is everything about him!
He is British and can do more than one British accent (Surrey and Northern, specifically. Yes, Britain has loads of different accents.)
As a certain someone once said, his eyes are so beautiful āyou could go swimming in themāā¦
ā¦however according to said person, they are alsoĀ āgreen, blue and yellowā.
He looks equally handsome with black, dark blue and ginger/brownish hair.
His name meansĀ ālover of horsesā, yet in typical Phil-fashion he happens to have a fear of horses instead.
Most of the time looks like the softest angel beanā¦
ā¦however the rest of the time he is devilishly handsome and makes ovaries explode (sorry about the last bit, it had to be said).
His laugh is better than the sweetest symphonyā¦
ā¦and his smile is brighter than the sun.
Those cheekbonesā¦ I canāt evenā¦
He loves anime and is a massive weeaboo *falls even more in love*.
He always knows what to say to brighten up anyoneās day.
He is the sweetest, most charming, most charismatic person I could ever hope to meet.
He loves animals and dogs, which makes him an even better person (which I didnāt think was possible).
Heās really fucking intelligentā¦
ā¦and he doesnāt need two university degrees to prove it (although he has those as well)ā¦
ā¦not to mention heās pretty damn wise, with some of the best philosophies Iāve ever heard (PHILosophies! Ha, haā¦ Iāll let myself out).
He actually makes an effort, and a huge one at that, to engage with his audience, unlike many YouTubers out there.
He has common sense. Might not sound like a good reason, but honestly, Iāve learned the hard way that many people out there have no fucking clue about anything in life so Iāve come to appreciate those who do a hell of a lot more.
His compassion, love and care meters are somewhere around theĀ ā level.
He has a great sense of humour, and thatās not as easy to come by as it might sound.
Heās been doing YouTube for over a decade now! Heās literally a dinosaur, but an immortal dinosaur.
Yāall, Iām starting to wonder if heās a vampire. Perfect pale skin, hella fine teeth and he literally hasnāt aged.
Heās unapologetic in his quirkiness.
āSelf-confidenceā is his middle name.
His origin storyā¦ oh my god. A fucking cereal box? Why havenāt Marvel or DC requested permission to release Phil Striker merch, comics and movies?!
Heās too damn patient and I love it so much it almost annoys me.
Heās always willing to listen to others, which is a skill may people never learn and suffer for it.
Yāall know that his best friend is the memelord, Daniel James Howell.
Theyāre polar opposites but at the same time they couldnāt be more alike.
Theyāve done so much together, I canāt even right nowā¦
Like, can you say that youāve made a game with your BFFL?
Can you say that the two of you have released a chart-topping single (The Internet Is Here)?
That youāve written two books together that are full of all-round goodness?
Done a BBC Radio 1 show together?
Made a mobile game together?
Written a script for a full-scale, high-budget stage show together?
Taken that stage show around the world and met so many of your fans together?
Made said stage show into two movies together?
Didnāt think so. There are tons more, but I donāt wanna be here a month later still writing them and miss out on their uploads, so letās all agree that theyāve done so many things throughout their history.
They got PewDiePie himself calling them YouTubeās Power Duo. Thatās like being fucking knighted by the king or queen!
People say that a friendship that can last seven years can last a lifetime. Guess how long theyāve been friends? SEVEN YEARS, five of which theyāve been living together!
I mean, literally every justgirlythings post about friendship can apply to them.Ā #friendshipgoals
Heās a giant. Heās 6 feet tall. No explanation needed.
He looks hot with and without glassesā¦
ā¦well, he looks hot all the time and itās not fair.
Heās always made an effort to keep things friendly for people of all backgrounds and agesā¦
ā¦yet he still remains true to who he is and what he makes.
Clickbait on his channel? Nuh-uh, bitch.
Iāve just realised that he made me swear more in this one than in the one I wrote for Dan, which is kind of ironic but it makes me love him even more so fuck it, Iām writing it down.
āSell-out?ā Who is she, I donāt know her.
He really appreciates us and everyone around him. Iām love.
Heās won awards, including his own one at the first BONCAs, Creator of the Year.
His acceptance speech was really inspiring and also remained classically āhimā.
āIāve spent the majority of 2016 with another person, Dan Howellā¦ so I think itās only fair that he comes up here and shares this award with me.ā
āWhat would happen if we did go further apart?āĀ āI think the universe would rip in half, letās not try that.ā
My point? If Phil isnāt selfless then selfless doesnāt exist.
His accidental and not-so-accidental (because come on, not all of them can be accidents) innuendos.
Heās inspired art and creativity in people who otherwise would have no way to express it.
Heās inspired people to keep on going and persevering with life, and in doing so has saved millions of livesā¦
ā¦not to mention heās done it in a new and different way to what would normally be expected of life-savers (making videos)ā¦
ā¦so you heard it here guys: he is officially a pioneer AND a hero.
His voice is really relaxing to listen to.
He is an innocent angel who must be protectedā¦
ā¦but we all know that secretly he is a dirty-minded, flirtatious lilā devil.
Charities must love him because boy, has he given them a lot of money.
He is an extremely hard-worker and he doesnāt procrastinate (not to say procrastinationās a bad thing, but as someone who does it constantly I can tell you itās not fun).
Heās loads of fun at parties, from what we can tell. Who doesnāt love a party animal?
He directly avoids drama. God bless him (because God sure as hell aināt blessing me).
He has never said a harsh word to or harmed anyone or anything in any way.
Bless his gentle soul in general.
Heās loyal and honest - loyalty and honesty are something we need more of.
Arrogance? Never heard of her.
Heās not afraid to admit to his mistakes and imperfections (I mean I think heās as close to perfect as you can get, but his willingness to show his faults makes him even better).
He is talented, people. Want me to spell it out? T-A-L-E-N-T-E-D.
His sympathy and kindness levels areā¦ actually, I was gonna say through the roof, but Iām looking now and not even aeroplanes can see them, theyāre so high.
Why am I so sassy in this post when itās Phil, not Dan, weāre talking about? Eh, Iāll take it, and I love it too.
Come to think of it, he can actually be pretty sassy when he wants to be.
Heās seen and learned so much over the years, all of which heās been willing to share with us and teach us.
Heās also been through a lot, yāknow. His best friend from university died, yet he remains happy and optimistic because he knows his friend would want him to be.
The above point is the literal definition of ācourageā, which is him in a nutshell.
Actually you canāt fit him into a nutshell because heās so complex and infinite.
I can never decide whether heās the sun (bright; giving and inspiring life)ā¦
ā¦or the moon (mysterious; always watching over the world) but either works, I guess.
Heās so accepting of diversity and variety, itās amazing (puns for days).
āYou know what I say? You should never make fun of something a person canāt change about himselfāā¦
ā¦but what makes it funny is that he goes on to make fun of Dan for having deep dimples, which is something he canāt change about himself (something Dan points out).
Honestly the banter and domestic moments between him and his buddy are just really cute, so fuck it, Iām writing it down.
He deserves so much, you cannot comprehend it, but he never asks us or anyone else for anything.
He is really trusting of those around him, and in turn he is really trustworthy.
Heās literally psychic:
ā¦āSome guy is gonna come into my life, an energetic warrior. He has a hasty personality and is really quick to love or hate.ā
ā¦āI wish for pandas to mate and increase in population.āĀ āMy panda wish came true!ā
Bonus points for making his wish be saving the pandas. You canāt not love him for that.
Heās grown really thick thicc (metaphorical) skin and is as immune to negativity as you can get.
His music taste isā¦ *nodding* yes.
Nerd galore, people! I love it!
His moral compass is on point (geddit?).
He is the purest man alive and he has done so much for me personally and many others out there. Thank you for existing, Phil, and always remain true to yourself, as you have taught us to do.
Come on, 100 reasons is not nearly enough. There are an infinite number of reasons to love him, but everything has a start or beginning.
