WHY DID NO ONE TELL ME DAN LOOKS FUCKING HOT IN THAT BLACK WIG?!

hmm...methinks I need a fic on that. Stat.

Dan Avidan as a werewolf: has to kill and eat animals to survive

Also Dan Avidan as a werewolf: still cries over hitting a squirrel with his car once

Wait, but what if Dan was defending Arin?

I don’t think Dan is incapable of being defensive. (If I recall, it was in his Myers-Briggs reading.) Pisceans, depending on the birth date, can also be over-sensitive, and this can become passive aggressive.

If Dan was defending Arin, I’m sure he’d be more willing to stick his head out and give his two cents on the matter. And Arin has clearly been exhausted lately. Dan, seeing that, might’ve been trying, in his own way, to nip things in the bud before Arin became the subject of wrath.

Just a thought.

If you haven’t read Dan’s Instagram post for today, I highly recommend that you do. His words hit so close to home...I think a lot of us can relate. I’m more than halfway to 30 myself, and I feel like I’ll never do something worthwhile. I feel trapped and stagnant and alone. It feels good to know that someone much older than me is still considered young by some.

And I’m so glad Dan can say confidently that he loves himself. I’m so happy that he’s at such a wonderful point in his life.

Arin’s message was so sweet too, and it really alleviated a lot of my fears about the state of their friendship. It’s good to know they still genuinely care about each other.

Happy birthday, Dan. Here’s to many more.

I...can’t believe Dan Avidan is going to be 40.

It really felt like he was only 39 for a month!!! Like whaaaatttt????

Shall I tell you some headcanons I have about Dadvidan? Bcs holy moly. (Also yes I made a funny name for this ok shush.)

First of all, we have lots of evidence to suggest that Dan is good with kids. I think this also means he has a nurturing personality. So, my first head canon is that he 100% that parent who picks up their kid the minute the child is hurt/begins to cry. (A side note for anyone who cares: there’s a lot of ppl who think doing this is spoiling the child. Just gonna say, there’s a lot of evidence to suggest that doing this makes children feel more secure. So.)

Dan would also be papa bear, no doubt. I get the feeling his mom was very protective (the school stories he’s told, and her willingness to stand up for him no doubt was very mama bear). Even tho he isn’t confrontational, I can see him marching down to the school to protest in his child’s name, esp if it was something creativity related.

That being said, I don’t see Dan as a strict parent. He’d be the parent you hate to disappoint, because they have a Look. And we can see evidence of the Look appearing already (though probably played up for comedic effect) in some power hours and implied through episodes). Getting in trouble with him would be a quiet car ride with no music and a very soft “I’m disappointed in you” kind of thing.

Spanking is out of the question, though that’s probably the most obvious of all.

Overall, I can see Dan being very supportive, a voice of reason and wisdom, and an encouraging and protective figure. He’d cry at every major milestone (happy tears of course), and simultaneously support independence while never wanting to let his kids go. (This translates into always being a safe haven for them.) I can see him being a very hands-on dad, doing equal if not more work. Just being present and there for his kids.

Idk. It makes me happy to think of Dan being a parent. 🤷‍♀️

Dan has a girlfriend.

I KNEW IT I KNEW IT I KNEW IT!!!!

I COULD FEEL IT FROM THE MONENT HEART BONER CAME OUT!!!!

Okay, enough bragging.

I want all of us to be kind and accepting of this. Dan is happy, and she looks happy, too. I have no doubt that Dan wouldn’t have been hinting so hard if this wasn’t at least somewhat serious.

PLEASE, FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY!!! If you respect Dan and his happiness at all, respect this relationship! DO NOT try to find her, DO NOT harass her, DO NOT send hate to Dan because you can’t handle him being happy in a relationship. DON’T DO THAT! It doesn’t make you a fan, it makes you an asshole.

If, for some reason, you can’t handle this news, unfollow Dan on Instagram. Stay away from the streams. Stay off reddit and Tumblr. There are plenty of fan fictions for you to read that will keep you happy while you sort yourself out.

If you love him as much as you claim and you are not happy for him, you are being selfish.

LET DAN BE HAPPY GODDAMMIT. He looks SO happy. Let him be happy.

On a lighter note, why do I get the feeling that Dan calls his nephews “buckeroos?”

Also, Dan has a niece and I am OFF THE WALL EXCITED to see him interacting with her more!!!
