okay it's been a long ass time since i put together a dnp-related rant on tumblr but today is worthy of it jesus christ
Phil has seen every single version of Dan starting with when he was 18 ;__; If we are reduced to tears for the bits and pieces of Dan weāve had the privilege of seeing, imagine the emotions for someone who has truly seen it all. Heās been w Dan literally thru every stage; before/during/after law school, depression, working together, moving 3x w one another, etc. I canāt imagine how emotional it would be to watch someoneās ups + downs for 13 years and then come out triumphant with a beautiful stage show. Like.. Phil is really someone who has seen Dan through his entire adult life. The beginning of it, the present, right up until the end.
We get emotional making comparisons of WAD to 'Hello Internet' because it's really unique to have your development as a person just pasted all over the internet. But all we have ever known is Dan's internet persona. Sure, we get pieces of his personality and we have a gist of what he's like, but we don't know him the way Phil does. Their connection is unfathomable and Phil knows him in a way no one ever will. We've heard of Dan's perspective going through challenges, struggling with existential crises, dealing with depression, seeking therapy, etc. We've heard those anecdotes after they happened; Phil lived it with him. Which is why I think today is just that important to Phil.
Phil got to see 'Hello Internet' before it was even posted onto YouTube for the first time. Fuck, he gave Dan advice and encouraged him to post for the first time. He supported Dan from the start. He has seen everything that we haven't, and now that WAD has come to a close and it's on YouTube forever, it's all come full circle. From helping Dan with his first YouTube video to sitting with Dan to watch this beautiful stage show on that same channel, Phil has been there with and for him since the beginning.

okay yāall! so iāve been having a think about maybe changing my user? im a little unsure. i made a post calling my cat angelina, phangelina, and ive been thinking about it ever since. itās so very cute, right!
but then thereās the part of me that actually really loves this user as well. yes, itās silly and cringey, but itās supposed to be! i too am silly cringe. and truly at my core, its how i feel. (cw: depression) 2018-2022 were absolutely horrid years for me. my mental health was at an all time low and i honestly didnāt think i would ever get out of it (not alive at least anyway). and so when d&p came back? it was monumental to me. like holy shit, i survived. i made it through. and now i can enjoy life and watch new dan and phil content!! it means a lot to me.
so idk!! what do yāall think? lemme know :))) either way iāll be happy, i mean i do love my cat more than anything so seeing phangelina daily would make me smile.

i think the reason why dan always credits phil in these things (BIG, WIQYT, WAD) is because, even though they are solo projects they are still incomplete/wouldnāt happen without phil being there on the side championing dan and cheering him on. like yes these are danās stories to tell, they are his creations but dan wouldnāt be here without phil and phil wouldnāt be the same person now without dan. they really complete each other, theyāre their own people of course but theyāre also a part of a whole that cannot be separated. their lives are entwined and itās so true that they are each others biggest and loudest fans. and i think dan crediting phil, phil being so vocal about how proud he is, the devotion they have to each other and their work is such a big statement to their love for each other.

hey quick question does this mean dnp have been each otherās strongest and sometimes only support system and safe space for nearly 15 years and built their custom forever home and got matching mugs and have a framed photo of their ff characters in the office and watch every movie together and get cuddles whenever they want and share clothes and speak what is essentially their own made up language and look at each other Like That and built their whole lives around how much they love each other and found a way to do so publicly without destroying themselves?
