30s. BTS ARMY since 2015, Dan and Phil, Carter Vail, Freddie Mercury, Shoot From The Hip. Bogshed/Bog-Shed (even I don’t know) occasionally because of my uncle. Also sometimes politics and personal stuff. Frankly, none of you will be happy.

I can’t believe none of the articles about their relationship wanted to use Phil’s headline suggestion

Screencap from Dan and Phil’s ‘Is Phan real?’ video with a mocked-up headline saying ‘Dan and Phil are ready to serve PHUNT’ and the tagline saying ‘yes phil really just said that’

Other ones that made me laugh since it’s still trending number one on there

Post by tumblr user zackstriker: ‘dnp should win an award for most emotionally complex podcast announcement ever’

Post by tumblr user pseudophan reading: ‘i'm not an updates blog sorry i don't mean to steal anyone's job but the liked comments were too good on this one ‘

There are screenshots of various liked YouTube comments liked by Dan and Phil:

@beatlesiara: ‘they waited for our frontal lobes to develop with this’

@peytoncore ‘they hit the fucking phantagon’

@alisonhutchins6100: ‘Listen. Not our business. Never been our business. Fully aware it's parasocial. But after all these years, I'm both very, very happy for you both and feeling a bizarre sense of relief.’

@callmealx ‘guys i just had a fucking edible im not ready for this right now

@shannyanniedoodah ‘I literally survived cancer and became a mother before phan confirmed. 13 year old me is sobbing. 27 year old me is also sobbing’

@ghoullian5094 ‘dan's therapist is gonna take the fattest bong rip and ascend into the sky like mufasa "my work here is done"’

Tumblr post by user biomeberry: ‘Dan forever and always being the #1 advocate for phanfiction will never not be funny. He may have trauma but no one can ever accuse him of not being a patron of the arts’

Tumblr post by user hgracieees: ‘this being the updated r/danandphil rules is
KILLING ME,

Screenshot of the rules in r/danandphil:

As people though they would probably die as soon as Deliveroo stopped functioning.

L⁷ @7stargalaxy.bsky.social · 1d

Phan as a concept as would absolutely survive the nuclear apocalypse. Clearly it is very robust.

L⁷ @7stargalaxy.bsky.social · 1d

I’m not really surprised they were like ‘well what if we tell people but end up splitting up?’ because honestly that would be very likely and understandable under the circumstances. I don’t most relationships would last that.

L⁷ @7stargalaxy.bsky.social · 1d

Also of the ones that do last, I don’t imagine many others involve thousands of people harassing you and making every detail their personal business as well.

L⁷ @7stargalaxy.bsky.social · 1d

Not the most surprising factor considering everything else Dan and Phil went through, but Dan getting his first boyfriend at 18 and then staying with him for 16 years (and presumably forever) is pretty insane. The percentage of relationships from that age that last must be absolutely tiny.

I don’t know who they had doing it, but for a while the Freddie solo channel had really good edits. But they also started used the channel to shill NFTs seemed to abandon it once they weren’t trying to sell anything 😐 They haven’t even posted for his birthday the last few years

L⁷ @7stargalaxy.bsky.social · 1d

And then sometimes they get it really right and it’s like SEE YOU DO KNOW HOW TO DO IT! Not that I expect an animation for everything like this, just something that’s not a nothing video or AI

Lovely song but this lyric video is so ass, it’s giving windows media maker in 2002. I wish the official channel had higher standards for their videos.

The law might be enforced later (big on the ‘might’) but I can still end up paying for it in the meantime and losing things I’ll never get back. So I’m not hugely confident the Renters Rights Bill alone would protect me enough whilst I was fighting to stay.

L⁷ @7stargalaxy.bsky.social · 1d

I know I *shouldn’t* end up homeless with the law change but my recent experiences with the university have taught me that it’s very easy to simply ignore that laws exist for extended periods of time if you’re rich and powerful.

L⁷ @7stargalaxy.bsky.social · 1d

I would absolutely love to not be so aware of the law and used to threatening people with it but here we are.
