“Hi, this is Rollercoaster 73…."

23 | any pronouns | lesbian

[fryday]

as the hard launch and rebrand has heralded in a new era of phandom and phanniebloggers, I thought I could start a reblog chain for all the new dnp blogs* to introduce themselves / announce their presence in the fandom!

so if you're seeing this post and have a newly made dnp blog, please go to the latest reblog in the chain and reblog from there - so in the end we get a lovely long chain of new users we can all get to know and follow! (please write something in the body text of your reblog or else it won't show up in the chain)

alternatively if you're seeing this post and you're a veteran phannieblogger, you can also reblog to spread the word about the chain 🫶

*this applies to you whether you've been lurking for a while and finally committed to the phannieblogger life or have just joined the fandom! as long as you have a blog where you actively post about dnp

Hiiii I’m rollercoaster73 (23, lesbian, any pronouns), named after the discussion abt dan’s roller coaster videos in wdapteo 5, bc i am also a huge roller coaster nerd who subjects my loved ones to rants about ‘airtime.’

I somehow avoided Dan and Phil beyond random online sightings until they hit me like a truck while I was studying abroad in September 2024. I was absolutely blown away by their queer joy and whimsy and that eventually extended to me lurking on tumblr. I made this account a few months ago so that I could scream in the tags instead of just the void and I’m /so/ glad I did before the hard launch of it all went down.

I mostly just yap in the tags and reblog as I’m very busy at the moment, but im always happy to chat! i love reading everyone’s posts and phannie-ing out together<3

phil being asked to name a woman and immediately saying “kamala, britney… birdo” is fucking killing me

yeah yeah rainbow capitalism is bad and whatever but like. when I was a child, being pro gay was not the popular or lucrative choice. I'm happy that times have changed.

[storm-of-feathers]

I miss rainbow capitalism. I do. I miss when it felt like public opinion was still pro gay. I understand it was always an empty gesture, but it mattered in a sense of knowing how socially acceptable being queer is. If that makes sense.

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

*phil voice* you can kiss touch your male friends without it being gay 🫶

insp by dnp being combined as a single entity again shoutout to one of my fave instances of this happening <3

[diphowell]

in so many of the heart eyes howell moments dan really looks like he feels like the luckiest man on earth

[diphowell]

@danisnots you can’t say that

[dansasterology]

another banging dan equivalent from phil thank you mr. president

[diphowell]

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.

[diphowell]

#nodding nodding nodding. yeagh..... #i think it's also probably the biggest reason why they made it thru while a lot of other couples in their situation would not have #choosing love in spite of the fear... choosing each other in spite of the fear....... #they say 'at least we had each other' and truly i think them having each other is what got them thru#and not just having each other in the sense that they were like literally together but #having each other in the most active and deliberate and intentional way #choosing each other for 16 years (and counting <3) (via @backin09)

yes!!! i agree. i think "at least we had each other" and "i don't think i have to forgive you" are mindsets that are kind of pillars for how they stayed together through All of That. they had each other and they didn't grow to resent each other for their situation, which i feel like can happen so often in situations where no one is REALLY at fault but the stress and pain of it is just too much. and for them it really was like. their partnership their love their relationship was always the priority.

with all the love in the world it is NOT funnier if phil doesn't know the stories, it's funnier if he picks them and dan doesn't know them
