obviously we don’t know them and there’s a million different interpretations of this, but the way I’ve always seen it is the same thing i do. it always looks like im spacing out when people talking to me because my autism mixed with my auditory processing issues means that maintaining eye contact is too distracting. i essentially have to “zone out” and shut off all my other senses so i can focus only on what they’re hearing, otherwise i can’t understand the words. im not armchair diagnosing phil with anything i just think dan yaps a lot and talks really fast so maybe phil has to focus to keep up with what he’s saying sometimes.

okay so in phil's defense i think one reason he -appears- to 'space out' when dan is talking is bc he and dan know almost everything about each other! so when dan shares, for example, his take on secrets and whether people in general are good secret keepers -- phil already knows how dan feels and has heard his take

so it's not that phil doesn't care to listen to dan (bc he does! that's his best friend/soulmate after all), it's just that phil has Heard This One Before, Possibly Multiple Times, so he (it appears to me) is like oh okay it's not super duper necessary that i pay attention to every word -- bc he already knows the gist of what dan's saying about this particular topic bc he's told phil this before.

but when dan is telling us the viewers The Thing he might take some time to say it accurately -- bc as we know, dan likes to be very intentional with his words.

and so we get the dan-yapping phil-space-out-stare

hello mental health tumblr

here is a reminder that medicine should always be taken with a full 8 oz glass of water, or else the medicine will literally lose its efficacy. 8 oz is roughly half of an average-sized bottle of water.

if you feel like shit, or if you feel like your meds aren't working the way they used to, make sure you're drinking enough water when you take them

#oh #I uhhh #I have taken my meds with a single sip of water for seven years #yikes

fuck you if you think psych wards aren’t bad. you’ve clearly never been restrained and forcefully sedated, nor have you been put on the no-admit list

I need tiktok to stop having every single trend be a shitty joke about vulnerable people

yeah the trend of people pretending to hallucinate with the "aren't you worried the fumes will get to your head" audio also isn't funny

i wouldn't be so bothered if these posts weren't filled with comments making schizophrenia jokes so here's some facts

hallucinations are commonly caused by mental and neurological illness

hallucinations can feel very real

they can be very scary and even traumatizing

hallucinations can be lighthearted and even funny, but not when people that don't experience them are making the jokes

people of any neurotype could experience hallucinations for a variety of reasons, but people with psychosis can experience them near-constantly

hallucinations can cause harm

stop making fun of neurodivergent people. hallucinations are not a joke, they are a serious symptom of many illnesses.

I think the freedom of finally letting themselves make self-referential horny jokes after repressing it for 13ish years broke something in dnp, and the slime ritual genuinely was a symbolic acceptance of DemonPhannie culture.

i feel like a lot of the 'i hate kids' crowd would be more tolerant if they understood that due to a kid's limited experience of the world that 4 hour flight might just be the longest they've ever had to sit still for or that trapped finger might literally be the most pain they've ever felt in their short life or they might not have ever seen a person with pink hair ever so of course they want to touch it or nobody's told them yet that they can't run around the museum and they only just learned cheetahs are the fastest animals so of course they want to put that to the test. how were they supposed to know etc etc.

#I hang out with my toddler cousin a lot #and he does some seriously irritating shit #but genuinely the minute you sit down and explain it to him properly #he stops #he apologizes #and he doesn’t do it again #they’re very smart #they do ‘bad things’ because they don’t know it’s bad #or they’re acting out because their needs aren’t being met #and they have no other way to express their feelings #imagine all of your extremely overwhelming and complicated emotions #but pressed down and bottled up into a teeny tiny little form not even 1/5 your size #it has to come out somehow

The connections video is so funny Phil immediately refuses to help Dan figure anything out and then the moment Phil gets stuck on any of them Dan's like here let me help you babygirl <3 and then the moment Phil starts to figure it out Dan looks so fucking happy about it. Like, could you at least pretend you're trying to win?
