they are (dan's words, not mine) "actual soulmates" and their relationship (again, dan's word not mine) is "more than just romantic".
they live in a house together which they call "the phouse" and share the mortgage, they've been together for 15 years, they are both so insanely stupid that no one else could ever put up with them.
also! they've both said that rpf is fine and dan tagged phan here on tumblr last week so I think by definition we win rpf <3

adies, gentlemen, those that lieth betwixt... how many of your rpf ships can you confidently say have won? in which both parties are still together, working and living together, openly affectionate, zero evidence of other partners / potential for other partners, and have longevity and a committed community to boot? while yes, many a bandom ship and youtuber pairing has paved the way for us, not many can say they have definitively won, the way phan has won. they literally live together in a fuckass shiny modern home somewhere in the middle of london with a gay little nerd shrine shelf dedicated to the first video game series they ever bonded over. they not only think rpf is fine, they encourage it, they write their own!
to my fellow rpfer's: i admire your efforts, but phan already won.
the omgcp fandom continues to stun me because everyone has such a great grasp on the characterisation that you can legitimately read a dozen fics by a dozen authors and you don’t even notice because they’re all so in character they might as well be extra episodes by ngozi
You're in Prague. It's the mid 2000s. You share a drunken kiss with a skinny English hipster in a nightclub. You give him a cigarette. You move on with your life completely.
Unbeknownst to you nearly 20 years later some guy you've never met will not shut up about you while making videos for his millions of online followers.
