and not to sound like a conspiracy theorist but another reason I hate the return of 2000’s th*nspo shit is bc starving does make women frail and has longer term consequences like early osteoporosis, brittle bones/teeth, insomnia, ect. Your muscles will start eating themselves. It also makes you extremely emotional and severely lowers your capacity for critical thinking not bc you’re a girl but because your brain isn’t getting any fucking nutrients so idk I just feel like its very convenient that every time there’s an uptick in fascist rhetoric and women’s rights are being stripped suddenly it’s peak fashion for women to be starving, weak, and exhausted

[freshcupofangst]

istg the phandom is unhinged like no fandom I've been in before I feel like I could say "hmmm I wonder how many times dan and phil have each respectively blinked on camera since the start of their careers" and within an hour of me posting it someone would be like "oh actually phanniephreak1 has been keeping count since 2015, here's the link to it" and the information will be perfectly fucking accurate

[chani]

And you picked that example because it's a real thing right?

[freshcupofangst]

oh my fucking god.

Every day I handle more money than I will ever make. Every day.

At the start of my employment, my boss showed me videos of people stealing, and we both had a chuckle about it. How silly they were! There was a camera overhead, and it’s not to watch the shoppers. See, we can’t actually stop shoplifters. They get away with it maybe nine out of ten times. But we, who are watched and tallied and witnessed? We are always caught.

At first it was hard to hold one hundred dollars bills. An amount I had never seen before. An amount that didn’t exist in my household. It’s normal now. Here is something that is not for me.

“What the hell, I’ll take another,” says the man, pondering our 200 dollar watches. What the hell. Total comes to 580 and not even a flinch in his face. I have been working for 11 hours today and made only 110 dollars. It will go to my rent. Today I work for free, it feels. When I get my check, I will have 35 dollars left for food and saving.

The six hundreds he hands me go into the cash register. For a moment, I imagine having money. Then I put it away, counting out his change.

I know for a fact we sell our products for double what they are worth. That I could be making commission. That they could hand me those 580 dollars and change my life and not even mark the difference in their checkbooks. He’s not the only sale they make today, but I am the reason they made it. He’s not the only one spending 600 dollars, but if I hadn’t spent two hours with him telling me about his life, he wouldn’t have spent any. I go home. I don’t own a watch.

I have watched and rewatched a video on how to make salmon four ways. My shopping list is always the same. Pasta. Rice. Tuna. If I can afford butter it was a good week. I dream of the world I will never walk in, where I can throw the best fish fillet in the cart with a shrug. I hold hundreds in my hand and look up at the camera. I put them under the cash drawer.

I go to work. I scrap together my savings. I eat my bowl of rice slowly. My manager takes a paid week off from work just for his birthday. He owns a yacht. 

I’m not worth the cost of a watch.

i wrote this while i was working at orlando’s walt disney world parks.

i was part of their college program. i moved to the state for it. they legally owned the building i was living in and still charged me rent. i ostensibly was being charged to work for them. it was a 2 bedroom apartment and they placed 6 adult women in it in forced triples.

as many as one in ten disney employees have experienced homelessness while working for the company. despite huge efforts to unionize, strike, or otherwise demand fair treatment; disney has refused to increase employee quality of life.

disney admits publicly that a good portion of their success is because the employees (“cast members”) are dedicated, passionate, and selfless. this is never reflected in pay. even “face” characters (ie those that are princesses etc) make barely above a minimum wage.

at the time that i worked there, i made $8.50 an hour. at one point i was asked to create a human shield around a bag because a bomb dog had alerted to it. for eight fucking dollars an hour.

i now work a very cushy office job. i have bought the salmon and cooked it all four ways.

i go to the store. i am nice to the person behind the counter. she looks up at the camera while she counts out my change. there is nothing fundamentally different about her and i.

we are both worth more than the watch, anyway.

In my heart I believe that teenage Dan absolutely (at least tried to) write secret sappy love poetry about Phil. No way Mr. biology tweet wouldn’t give that a shot. Any evidence has since been either destroyed by cringing-at-my-past dinof, or buried very deep in a memory box somewhere safe.

points to 28 year old dan writing sappy poetry on the first night of their 10th anniversary trip in japan and nods in agreement

phil introduced dan to his friend group the third time they met?? they did move fast. also thinking about how quickly phil introduced dan to his parents. he was just so eager to love dan and integrate him wholeheartedly into his life <3

something so beautiful about phil already having a pretty established and safe support system of lifelong friends and a loving family and him being so sure that dan would slot in perfectly :((( and he did :((

[ahappydnp]

i'm so hung up on the pushing beds together thing. getting twin rooms to try and avoid being clocked at youtube events while other youtubers were out there making a huge joke out of them (when dnp were part of the reason those bitches could even have youtube As A Job) on some real "may god dan and phil forgive you because i won't" shit rn.

once again blown away that it didn't tear them apart. what do you mean you spent all night hyper aware that your peers were hoping to catch you two with your guards down for content but the second you were safe you clung to each other for dear life. god.

[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.
