here is a collection of unorganized thoughts i had about the ian interview with anthony in relation to dnp’s working relationship
smosh talking about being best friends who ended up being business partners and then roommates and how bad it was and how they were passive aggressive with each other because they couldn’t fight bc they had to be best friends for youtube 
at first i immediately got sad hearing it but also i do think there’s a slight difference in how smosh interacted, especially them saying they never ever talked about feelings or emotions and their relationship was always surface level anyway
as opposed to dnp who’s dynamic/relationship is inherently more emotion based and vulnerable so talking about what’s upsetting them is going to come more naturally when it comes to the business side
but obviously that kind of relationship in any context is going to be INTENSE and hard to maintain when your lives are that intertwined
anthony talking about growing up individually and then feeling like they had to regress back into their 17 year old selves when they did hang out (“all we did when we hung out was play mario kart and talk about what we were doing”) 
also something that made me slightly sad for a second, especially remembering dan’s whole thing about phil pulling him back and the jokes about regressing bc he’s back on youtube blah blah blah it’s not refined or representative of his growth (which i hope he’s dealing with that whole mindset please dear god) 
but also dnp have grown individually and as a duo and i think they’ve given each other the space to do so while also having the front row seat to that growth that smosh didn’t? 
them saying the new content is NOT going to be nostalgia base and they’re not going to revert back to their old personas is actually really interesting and i wonder what that’s going to look like.
it makes me think about how dan and phil would approach consistent joint content again pcou, especially given the ~vibe~ of the last few videos together (mostly thinking about the 2022 texting video that felt...off a bit? which is so rare for dnp). it’s gotta be hard to not slip back into those old roles especially when being on camera together again is still novel 
ian and anthony talking about how the audience shaped their friendship in their peak and how they tried to play into the characters the fans made for them and it caused resentment/ anthony said being the ‘hot one’ and ian being the ‘funny one’ upset him a lot because it made him question his value. i find that whole section fascinating because i think that’s one thing dnp held onto? like they didn’t let the audience decide their dynamic or personalities 
but dnp also had the added element of more intimate outlets like liveshows where we got to see natural dynamics or even gaming channel stuff while smosh only really did scripted sketch stuff, so the audience got to see a more well rounded version of dnp and not just like....TATINOF stage personas
also and idk how to say this articulately....dnp also were actively hiding a part of themselves and working against audience perspective so they’re less susceptible to succumb to being their personas off camera with each other (especially going back to the first point of their relationship being more complex emotionally than the 2 cishet dudes who said they didn’t share feelings for the first 20 years of their friendship)
smosh talking about their work styles and creative processes and how they mesh well together which i would LOVE to hear more about that from dnp in how they come up with ideas or the details of their process together ESPECIALLY now 
tbh i was never a smosh fan for a variety of reasons and i’ve never been fond of anthony but i appreciate what smosh meant to a lot of people and how big of a win this is for youtube creators in general. it is interesting to hear them talk about this new era and how excited they are for the future of the channel 
maybe other people will have a chat about what a revamped version of a beloved channel that was also a fun project for them could look like, especially without the pressure of making money off of it
please dnp i will buy yet another fucking channel membership off you

Rudy's Book Reviews: You Will Get Through This Night by Daniel Howell
yeah thats right im gonna be a phannie on main for a second. this is the start of my book review series which i hope to actually folow through with lol. this one ive been listening to as an audiobook but i do have the physical copy as well cuz im like that! next review will hopefully be gideon the ninth so tune in for that, but for now, read this review under the cut:
this book is a practical mental health guide, honestly a lot of it is stuff that you can learn in therapy so like if you have a therapist that you like then maybe its not worth it BUT theres like slim pickins for mental health books that arent just anecdotal evidence without actually talking about what people did to help them get better, just "yea i was sad but then i got therapy ✌️" or books that are so couched in psychiatric jargon its hard for a layperson to get into OR just vaguely inspiring bullshit.
its all written with the help of an actual licensed psychologist person, so no bullshit, no just do yoga and drink water shit (although obviously exercise and hydration and physical health are talked about) and yes he mentions medication and LICENSED therapy if those end up being necessary steps to take with your mental health!!! which again, in the world of self help type books, tends to be rare advice which is DEPRESSING IN A DIFFERENT WAY LMAO.
ofc it should go without saying that a book can never be a replacement for therapy but Considering How The World Is, this book is good for like maybe stepping into learning some coping skills as well as figuring out a plan before, during, and after crisis mode. i would say the tone is more serious than humorous but dan puts a lot of his own natural snarky sarcasm stink all over this book which obv that can be a taste thing if youre not into brit sarcasm mode but as a One Of Those i like it lol
in terms of Dan And Phil™️-isms, theres a sprinkling of cute winks and nods and inside jokes that people who drew sharpie cat whiskers on their faces as teens would understand but Normies will not find to be out of place or anything, there's also some storytimes of like his previous tours or living as a dropout youtuber being stress-inducing and things like that but not a ton which i kinda prefer cuz it makes it easier for me to recommend this book to people who dont give a shit about Phandom Memes
theres an introduction which is kind of a short summary of who dan is, basically just summarizing his youtube videos talking about depression and when he came out as queer and all that fun stuff, if youre a psycho hardcore fan person like me you might find it to be a long and unnecessary read, but if youre someone who didnt know about this guy and are curious as to why he would even write a book like this its a pretty good synopsis.
the american cover has dan's stupid face on it, and as someone who is a big fan of dan's stupid beautiful face, i wish we had the EU version with like tasteful yellow stripes on it bc it looks so nice, but i mean i just keep it on my bookshelf with the spine showing which is just a nice yellow spine with the title and looks unassuming so its not THAT big a deal lmaoo.
in terms of the audiobook, dan's voice is quite soothing and there's all these like audio cues and fitting music which i really like. the only downside is, for example, he reads out this timed breathing exercise that is meant to be like a five minute exercise, but it's not actually timed? so like i want to do the breathing exercises along with him reading it out but he reads it so fast its kinda like bro slow down you said breathe in for five seconds why you going ahead two seconds later homie. thats my only criticism i think obv if you are reading it and not listening you can just do the exercises by timing yourself lol.
ummmm idk if im gonna give a number at the end of these reviews!!! i give this book a big thumbs up!! 👍 woohoo yeah baby i am very proud of dan's current life journey thing that he's going on and i think this is a great book for people who need help which is everyone alive today right now :)

Welcom
JakexfemMC, Phil and Jessy, Dan, Lilly and Hannah, Thomas Cleo…
Jake left MC for 3 months to run away from the FBI without telling her. He comes back but things have changed a lot, especially her.
Jake’s pov :
I'm back After three months on the run, I was back.
Will she be happy to see me again? Is she angry? And… Does she still love me? So many questions whose answers were in his hands I know it won't be easy to be forgiven, but I was so scared that something would happen to her, well, I don't know how to explain it to myself.
I was heading to the Aurora to see Hannah and Thomas first, I know she's there because it was Friday noon and they were always going there at this time. But it's strange Duskood seemed changed, as if there was hatred in the air, a tense atmosphere between everyone
But I paid no more attention
As I walked inside, Phil's waiter recognized me and stopped to look at me with shock and then with disgust. He rushed behind the locker rooms. Weird. Usually he comes to greet me.
- Oh no, Jake ?
-Hannah ! Good to see you !
-Why are you here ?
-What is that question ? I answer her with humor, I'm back, aren't you happy to see me again ?
-No ! I mean yeah but…
-You shouldn't have come back, said Thomas who looked sad to see me
What's going on?
-Jake it's
-So it's true, he's back! interrupts a voice that was familiar to me
Jessy
-When she finds out she's gonna kill him, she sneered
-Who ?
-How who ? Mc of course, wait a minute! Doesn't he know? Haha! It's even better !
-Not aware of what exactly?
-You'll see little hacker… See you in hell!
And she left as fast as she came
-Hannah? You explain to me ?
-I do not believe you
-And yet it's the strict truth Jake, after your departure Mc freaked out she was mad at you. It created stories in the group, Jessy, Dan and Lilly are on her side Cleo didn't take sides and this story even touched the city because half of them felt sorry for her, today it's a little she who controls Duskwood.
-So you're telling me that Mc, my girlfriend, started some kind of war? Between the people here and half want me dead? it must be a joke
-But it's the truth Jake! shouted Thomas, you're in danger man, you broke his heart! She went to the hospital for two days because of a bout of panic, and she didn't eat for days or sleep for a month!
It's like I've been stabbed a hundred times, did I do that?
-Where is she now? I will go see her
-Not a good idea, she won't listen to you anymore, even we don't know where she is, but tonight she'll come as usual, especially now that she knows you're there.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mc pov :
I am in pain I have been suffering for three months But I've also been preparing for revenge for three months, I wanted him to suffer as much as me, no, more than me. Even if I missed her smell, her body and her presence more than anything. A tear ran down my cheek, I quickly wiped it away when I heard Jessy coming.
-What ? I tell her hostilely
-He's there
-Who ?
-Santa ! Jake you idiot!
-Pardon ? He dared to repoint himself asshole?
-Who's the asshole, come in Dan while drinking a beer
-Jake
-Haha he dared?
-Apparently
-What are you going to do ? asked Lilly
Obviously breaking his heart
~~10 hours later~~
Jake pov :
-What do I look like ?
-Of a guy who wants his girl back, Thomas tells me
-Perfect
-Do you know you're gonna die?
-Maybe
-And you know she hates you?
-Where there is hate there is love
-Pfft
-Aren't you coming Thomas?
-To be killed by her? No thanks. But take pictures for me! If you're still alive…
I had sweaty palms, what if they were right? What if she really doesn't want me anymore?
You'll never know if you hesitate
Ok then here we go
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There were a lot of people tonight, but not this woman with golden curls and sapphire blue eyes, brown freckles and luscious red lips. No. Where was she?
Mc pov :
Everyone pissed me off. Where was that man with black hair? Ocean blue eyes and thin, pink lips. I wanted to see him so badly. Another thing, finally someone caught my eye, Phil… Without even realizing it, my body moved towards him, he was in front of the stage talking to the musicians, he finally saw me and trotted towards me too. Instinctively he grabbed my hips and kissed me like his life depended on it, I deepened our kiss. When he stopped I felt a void.
-Hi you
-Hi
-I missed you today
-I
Without me even being able to realize it, a glass crashed on his head and he fell backwards.
-Phil!
-Don't touch my wife, you fucking bastard.
Jake pov :
I had been looking for her absolutely everywhere for minutes and on purpose I bumped into a guy
-Oh sorry man I'm looking for… Dan?!
-Holy shit, hacker boy?! What are you doing here son of…
-Wow calm! I'm looking for Mc
-And you think you deserve to see it? After leaving like a thief?
I dream otherwise it is not possible. She wasn't kissing Phil Hawkins. Because she had told me that he didn't count but that me so logically she shouldn't be doing it, right?
Uncontrollably and ignoring Dan's words, I walked over to them glass in hand and smashed it on his son of a bitch skull.
-Phil!
-Don't touch my wife, you fucking bastard.
As I walked back to her, she aimed a gun at me, what?
-Wh
-Shut up
-Mc put your
-SHUT UP Tears ran down her rosy cheeks, her hands were shaking and I felt her heart beating a thousand miles an hour.
-Mc calm down and put that gun down
-Otherwise what ?
And then she pulled close to my ear, and there, black hole
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-Jake ? Wake up !
I heard a distant voice calling me.
-I am dead ?
-No not yet bro
-What happened?
-Thomas and I were worried about you so we came to get you, you were on the ground with Phil and we took you home. What happened ?
I explained everything to her
-But are you crazy?!
-She is my girlfriend !
-Uhm, you gave her up Jake
-Thanks, I know !
-What I mean is she's been dating Phil for two months and everyone thinks they're a couple now.
-You all think wrong!
-Jake…
First you will have to pass me on the body
Part 2 ? I wrote all this really quickly so sorry for the boredom or the spelling mistakes!!! Hope you having fun !🫶🏽

Codependent? Maybe Just A Little
Summary: Dan leaves to go on tour and Phil’s a little bit of a mess.
Written for Phanfiction Bingo 2023
Square: Crying
Rating: Everyone
Triggers/Warnings: None
Additional tags: fluff, crying, leaving home, WAD tour, established relationship, reality
Words: 1,285
Read on ao3
Ever since Dan brought up the idea of a solo tour, Phil had been dreading the day when he had to leave. 
At first, Phil assumed he would be going with him. They did everything together, after all, and their first two tours were some of the best moments of Phil’s life. Why wouldn’t he join Dan for something as big as his own solo tour? It never even occurred to Phil that maybe that wasn’t what Dan wanted this time. 
When Dan told him he wanted to do this by himself, just as Dan, Phil’s heart broke a little. Phil had been excitedly talking about what cities they could visit again and the things they could see that they had to skip during the last tour. Dan only gave him a sad look before shaking his head. 
“I kinda want to do this on my own,” he had said quietly. 
Phil blinked at him before responding. The words took a while to sink in. “Oh, yeah, of course.”
“Now that the ‘Dan and Phil’ era is over, I kinda want to grow my own brand and figure out what that looks like. Not that I don’t want you there, obviously, but I think it’ll be good to spend some time apart before we actually become conjoined.” 
Phil knew he was right. He didn’t want to hold Dan back in furthering his career or even his growth as his own person. Deep down, he knew this would be good for Dan, maybe even good for them as a couple. For all of Dan’s adult life, they had been seen as a duo. Maybe it was time for Dan to figure out who he was other than the first half of “Dan and Phil.”
Their friends and family always joked that they were codependent. And maybe they were. They couldn’t go a couple of hours without texting the other when they were apart, and when they were together, they were always attached to the hip. You didn’t see one without the other. They were a package deal. 
The thought of not having Dan at home for several weeks scared him. He hated being alone and he hated being without Dan. What was he even supposed to do for two whole months without him? Dan would be off having the time of his life going from city to city performing for energetic audiences, while Phil did what? Bingewatched shows and lived vicariously through Dan’s stories? 
He knew he was being dramatic. They already had a trial run when Dan traveled around the UK and was gone for days at a time. Phil managed then. But, this would be the longest they had ever been apart after twelve years together. It was only for two months, but at the same time, it was for two months. 
And even though he had known this day was coming, that didn’t make it any easier once the day arrived. 
When Phil woke up, Dan was still asleep next to him. His eyes trailed over the parts of Dan’s skin that were exposed, memorizing each and every detail, as if he was afraid he was going to forget what Dan looked like. He reached out and ran his fingers lightly over the curls of Dan’s hair, causing Dan to stir.
“Watching me sleep?” he asked groggily. 
“Maybe.”
“Creep.��
Dan closed his eyes again, but shuffled closer to Phil and draped his arm across Phil’s chest. 
“Do you always snuggle up to people who creep on you?”
“Mhm. Need to get my Phil cuddles in.”
“Will—“ Phil picked up his phone to check the time. “—three more hours of Phil cuddles hold you over for two months?”
Dan groaned. “Why did I think this was a good idea?”
“Because you wanted to create your own brand and figure out what that looked like.”
“I guess.”
Phil wrapped his arms around Dan to bring him closer. 
“If you want me to come visit, say the word and I’m there. Just make sure you’re somewhere nice like Orlando or Seattle,” Phil snickered.
Dan lifted his head to look at him.
“What, so you can get a free vacation out of it?” Dan asked.
“Eh, maybe.”
“Now I remember why I’m leaving you here.”
Dan started to tickle Phil’s sides.
“Hey!” Phil exclaimed as he squirmed around on the bed. Laughter filled the room as Phil tried to escape from Dan’s relentless tickling. “Alright, alright! I surrender!”
Dan finally let up and they caught their breaths before settling back into the position they were in before. 
“I’m really gonna miss you, you know,” Dan said quietly after a while.
“Yeah, I’m gonna miss you too.”
They spent the rest of the morning just enjoying each other. They laid in bed talking about everything and nothing, shared a shower, made breakfast together, and decided to watch one more episode of an anime which Phil promised not to watch while Dan was gone. Those three hours went by way too quickly for Phil’s liking. 
“My car’s here,” Dan announced sullenly, and Phil’s heart dropped. His time with Dan was coming to an end.
Dan stood up from the sofa and looked down at Phil, a silent invitation for Phil to follow him to the front door where Dan’s luggage was already waiting for him. They walked to the door in silence. Their entryway became blurry as tears filled Phil’s eyes. 
He so badly wanted this to be a happy send off for Dan. This was an exciting time for him. But, Phil couldn’t fight his trembling lip and the tears that were about to fall as he looked at Dan.
“I’m going to text you so much that you’re going to get tired of me.”
Phil shook his head as the tears finally fell. “Not possible.”
Dan opened his arms and brought Phil in for a hug. They couldn’t prolong this, as much as Phil wanted to. A car was waiting outside. 
Phil finally stepped back and wiped his eyes. There were tears in Dan’s eyes now, as well. 
“Let me know when you get to the airport?” he asked. 
“Yeah.”
“Love you,” Phil leaned in for a quick kiss. “So much.”
“Love you, too.”
They stood there and looked at each other, both with glassy eyes still. The look they shared said many things. From Phil, have the best time, I’m proud of you, and I’ll try not to miss you too much. And from Dan, I promise I won’t have too much fun without you there, two months will be over before you know it, and for the love of god, please water the plants. 
Dan gave Phil a sad smile before he opened the door and picked up his luggage. 
Phil watched the entire time as his luggage was placed in the car, as Dan opened the door and got in, as Dan gave him a small wave goodbye, and as the car drove down the road until he could no longer see it. 
When he went back into the house, it was too quiet. He could hear the buzzing of their lights and the humming of their appliances. There was no Dan. Maybe he could put on some of Dan’s old liveshows just for a bit of normalcy, to act like he was still there. No, it had only been a whole sixty seconds since Dan left. He could do this. It would be fine. Maybe he could call his mum to get his mind off of it. 
When Phil walked back over to the sofa and grabbed his phone, he saw he had a notification. It was Dan. 
miss you already bub ❤️

Just move info on the visa cause i know you dont watch dteam anymore. Hes likely applying for a O-4 visa, which takes upwards of 6 months (pre covid). we dont actually know when he applied, but it was summer of 2021, like around June i think. their lawyer gave them a timeline of december-feb where the visa could be approved. but there were complications with his application in december that were fixed. we dont know what the problem was. he may have had to resend his application or just provide extra paperwork. but obviously we are past the latest mark of feb. but the latest thing we’ve been told is, his visa could get approved anytime now. this was told in april, so hes had his interview already. id imagine in the next month or so, it should get approved, taking into account the delays.
now for your theory, i just dont think george would willingly stay in the uk alone if his vids was approved already. hes alone without his best friends, theres no way hes waiting MORE just cause dream doesnt want to FR. and from the talks of it, dream is ready to face reveal, hes done being faceless. like george doesnt loge dream THAT much where hes willing to stay in the uk for another couple months just cause dream isnt ready. like everyone else is meeting up, while george is alone in the uk, like im sure he’d rather be with everyone in the US asap
in the nicest way possible, i don’t think an o4 visa exists i just looked it up and there’s only three types of o visas so if you could tell me what an o4 visa is like actually cause im looking it up and i don’t know what an O4 visa is it’s kind of the only one that idk, i was really confused when i read this. but i am aware that o visas or usually only given to people with extraordinary talents and abilities, and it’s the main reason i ruled it out as the one george was going for because… what? o visas are no joke, there are super specific requirements you have to meet and.. unfortunately if this is the one george applied for like, im then absolutely sure he got rejected. 😭 since idk what the o4 visa is, and its not showing up anywhere i look on the interent here are the 3 o visas listed on the internet
Tumblr media
so the only visa that would even make remote sense for george is the o2 visa, lets look at the requirements
Tumblr media
the last bullet point got cut off but it was about how the application salary should be much higher than other salaries in his field and in the nicest way possible as much as i love george there’s absolutely no way his career as a Minecraft YouTuber, that has never done any sort of touring, book release, literally no actual commercial success would get into america using an O visa. very stark contrast would be Dan and Phil, who literally were doing a world tour that was basically sold out and were granted like what was it .. a year and a half stay in America? idk what kind of visa they got but if someone like them were to apply for an O visa with all of that under their belts alongside a book and other sort of major partnerships then yeah, that would totally make sense and they have a high chance to be approved. but for someone like george, only about two years in his career and hasn’t done anything really .. like i mean main stream hasn’t done anything there’s absolutely no way he’s getting an o visa
i guess my new theory then is, we are nowhere close to the face reveal. like there is absolutely no reason his visa shouldn’t have taken this long unless he applied for one and waited six months and then got rejected because… That’s what it’s looking out to be

DNP Rewatch: Cards Against Humanity PHAN EDITION!
Tumblr media
Date video was published: 02/21/2021 (X)
DNP Main Channel Rewatch: 437
Another joint video! So soon after the last one! Phil teased it in a member’s post the day before. And he posted a joint selfie with a caption I’m still not over (”just a couple of boys who bought a house together...” 🥺 and Dan’s comment as well) to promote this video and the upcoming Stereo shows. 
0:00 - they both look so good in this video. also I love the boxes background and ‘presenting’ Dan with the fireworks effect
0:26 - king of comedy Phil. and then his immediate look at Dan to see if he made him laugh
Tumblr media
0:37 - “I freakin’ did that” I...what was Phil in early 2021. also I had missed Dan’s facial expression reactions so much
Tumblr media
0:41 - at least on camera and just from the front, the haircuts don’t look too bad. Dan had posted insta stories earlier in the month about Phil giving him a haircut (1, 2)
0:59 - Dan looks so offended! 😂 I feel like Dan’s curls are a lot more forgiving of mistakes
1:17 - from the texting video, Phil had sent this haircut picture he used here to Dan around this time. I love Phil’s laughter at it by this point
1:28 - there are even more polaroids lower on the fridge than what was in the Keep it or YEET IT video 🥺
1:50 - this clip is SO interesting to me. it’s obviously from a bit later in filming, because Phil has already had part of his drink. and yet he edited it in here at the start, so it was important to them to include. it is incredibly loud...“we were already locked down with each other”... “big commitment” and the look on Phil’s face. and as I’ve said before, just like every public mention or description of their relationship, Dan is doing all the talking. I just have a lot of thoughts about these few seconds
Tumblr media
2:15 - love that before he knows what it is Phil goes “mmmm” but then immediately makes fun of Dan for it
2:35 - “this is for you, sugar freak” we’re two minutes in and this video is already so much
2:46 - aka they also made $$$
3:21 - great example of them just bouncing ideas around and off each other. I do love what they ended up doing with the show titles. the first of the Stereo shows (1, 2) was just two days after this video went up
3:56 - Dan on a random tangent
4:29 - Phil being ready to immediately react to what Dan says there...same wavelength
4:34 - “the things it’s seen” 👀 Phil’s face...
Tumblr media
5:06 - I don’t want to know 😳 (all I could think about when I saw this clip the first time is the fic @intoapuddle​ had written shortly before this)
5:18 - Phil was ready to hoard them in the last video though
5:42 - I love that the cube turns into a running joke
6:00 - why did Phil say “Phan” like that
6:05 - Phil replied to a tweet from one of the people that made and gave them the game
6:30 - their use of “creativity” like this over the years is very consistent
6:47 - more excellent Dan face reactions. also I notice he kept it zoomed in so we can’t see exactly what Phil’s hand is doing there
6:57 - he really didn’t cover that “fuck” very well
7:29 - “how could I forget the sechs?!” Phil is something in this
7:52 - Phil’s look is saying he’s not sure if this one is okay to do on camera
8:03 - and another (although much more casual/silly) instance of Dan saying out loud something that Phil won’t. and with Dan there, Phil censored it much less in general than in the last video, even though it’s still on his channel
8:24 - Dan looks proud of himself for that one. Phil had tweeted one of those awkward-hand photos back in 2014
8:49 - again...somewhat terrified of the awareness they have. Dan knew immediately...maybe Phil was trying to forget
Tumblr media
9:25 - Dan discussed this far too much on the gaming channel too...this was the most specifically he asked that though
10:01 - Dan already knows something that is going to disturb him is going to come out of Phil’s mouth
10:16 - “but I’m trying to be honest” and there’s some truth from Phil about what he was trying to do on YouTube in early 2021
10:28 - the giant “XD” editing bit there 😂
10:48 - this awkward Dan moment was at Big Weekend 2014. (Dan was there alone because Phil was ill.)
11:07 - and this card idea must have come from this Dan tweet in 2015...he can blame himself
11:39 - Dan doing a lot of staring in this video. and Phil thinking about what this would involve far too much
Tumblr media
11:52 - they’re only saying who wins the round sometimes
12:01 - I really want to know what Phil was going to say after “I wonder if I...” give us your thoughts about your channel Phil!
12:11 - what is this little Phil smile and sway
12:15 - which is a thing Phil had tweeted back in 2015
12:26 - the parallel of this and the same reaction from Phil to one of the cards Dan did in the CAH gaming video
12:39 - Phil doesn’t want to talk about that
12:46 - Phil choosing that card just to tease Dan and then both being super sarcastic about it
13:04 - Phil saying the words “when I first met Dan...” was maybe the most surprising thing in this video. and then sharing this little bit of their early-on
Tumblr media
13:31 - also cannot get over how Phil says “that’s such a Dan one” 😭
13:44 - Phil looks nervous every time a card starts with his name...there are none they used that start with “Dan” although there are a lot of Dan-specific reference ones
13:53 - the sequence of emotions that go across Dan’s face as Phil says he’d “be quite good at lapdancing” 😂
14:09 - I’m really not sure we needed those details
14:33 - this bit is so cute and funny
14:52 - and aww at Dan being pleased that there was still a Phil story he hadn’t heard
15:07 - Dan be so defensive about this and Phil with the “bitch” out of nowhere
15:18 - which is what Dan called himself in a video with Louise back in 2014
15:23 - seeing Dan being able to laugh at “full time internet homo” (which was a freudian slip from a live show that haunted him) is just 😭
15:28 - and then the ‘cheers’-ing of those cards
Tumblr media
15:41 - “cheesy sparkling water” is a reference to THE CHEESE CHALLENGE where he tried both of those things
16:09 - “you need to start using it” jesus christ Dan
16:24 - I was speechless when I got the notification for this Phil tweet. and Dan’s reply!!
16:40 - they were both at max chaos during the Stereo era
16:53 - 😂 they are having two completely separate conversations after that
17:05 - Phil’s “I’ve got the Santa hats” just sends me 😂
17:23 - “you want to do something to replace this as soon as possible” I love this video so much
17:30 - no telling us who the winner was
17:45 - they showed these under-the-stairs inspo pics in the texting video too. maybe Dan sent them to Phil to use in this video
17:53 - Dan had this tree ready-to-go for a while; it was visible in the background of the lounge in the pigeon video. I was not so sure about how it looked at the time, but it looks much better actually installed under the stairs
Tumblr media
18:15 - lets be honest...it was a lot of degenerative filth. and I wouldn’t have it any other way
Tumblr media
18:40 - probably my favorite bit of all. Phil just calling him out on this! and then including it in the video!!
Tumblr media
18:57 - it didn’t stop Dan from just staring more, clearly
This is definitely in the running for my favorite video of 2021. It was just SO MUCH after a couple years of basically no joint content at all. And the start of the Stereo era! Such a good time.

The casual touching. The domestic bickering. The constant gay jokes, the dick jokes, the ease with which they’re said. Phil not shying away from raunchy humor in front of the camera. Dan ribbing Phil but sincerely thanking him for his space in his life. Phil’s editing note at the end.
This video is my favorite Dan and Phil video.
Now I know that’s a lot given that it’s been up for barely an hour or so, but this is the most “undressed and unfiltered” I think we’ve seen them (on camera). They argued and screamed as much as any other dnp video, but somehow it was so soft?? My favorite video until today was the pizza mukbang one from 2018, but this .... this is so much more.
They don’t touch each other on camera much, they never have. And even in this video, Phil cut away right after he put his hands on Dan’s shoulders, for instance. But the casual touches that we saw? The actual hair cutting content? We are blessed to see something so intimate from these two, and in a way that they are comfortable with. They are sharing this with us because they want to.
Speaking of which, every time that Phil just asserted himself during this video? Amazing. Good job, Phil, don’t let Dan complain about this amazing video idea of yours. You’re right, Dan’s hair does look like trash! Roast that boy!
And the gay jokes were even worse in this video than in the Stereo shows! How did it get MORE GAY? Phil casually joked about dick (though he bleeped himself askjadskjsdf), Dan talked about topping, they left in various jokes about them sleeping together.
What’s even more gay, though, is that they openly talked about living together! I mean, we know they live together. They mention it. But in this video, they just .... fully acknowledged the roles that they play in each others’ lives. Like uh ..... what the hell guys this is TOO INTIMATE! Not only did Dan pour his heart out for Phil (albeit somewhat sarcastically), they didn’t shy away at all from mentioning SEVERAL TIMES that they’ve lived together for ten years and that they support each other unequivocally! Phil plays a huge role in why Dan was able to be more himself! THEY SAID “OUR LIVES” AND “OUR HOUSE” AND EVERYTHING THEY DO IS WITH EACH OTHER I’M NOT CRYING YOU’RE CRYING.
Not to mention the actual haircut and the constant chaotic energy. The chaos was so much more than I’ve seen from them?? Lately, this is what they give us! Raw chaos. Because they can. They’re not filtering themselves like they used to. They’re comfortable with what they’re presenting to the world for once, and they’re clearly ecstatic to be on camera together. They work so well together that a hilarious video is second nature -- the chaos is them. The world is a better place for it (quite literally).
Phil’s ending note from when he was editing? I don’t know what I could possibly say. That’s a love letter. And I don’t mean ooohh how romantic (even though yes obviously that too), but I mean that it’s such a loving little spiel. Something only your absolute best friend would do and say about you. They are best friends and soulmates, and goddamn it but Phil just proved that all to us. AGAIN.
We don’t deserve these lovely chaotic men, but they sure do deserve each other, and every time that I rewatch this video, I’ll be filled with pride. Pride for our queer community, pride in the relationship we have with dnp now, pride in the leaps and bounds mental health has made in popular media recently, and pride in these two boys who grew into these fantastic men.

drop the dan loving goblin phil essay rn
(in reference to my tag on this post)
OKAY SO! In BIG dan says this about phil: "And this is when, through the magic of the internet, I met Phil. And obviously we were more than friends but it was more than just romantic. This is someone that genuinely liked me. I trusted them. And for the first time since I was a tiny child, I actually felt safe. [...] Especially to anyone that has experienced the kind of self-hatred that I have dealt with, one person accepting you can make all the difference" (ty @goldenpinof for the transcript 🕺). Now obviously, this is in the context of dan being gay so for the most part he's referencing his sexuality here when he talks about being accepted, and I am not trying to undermine that at all. But I think that phil's acceptance of dan went deeper than just his sexuality (goblin Phil comes into this I promise lol).
dan also talks a bit in BIG about how he was nerdy and was bullied for that before he was bullied for being gay. He's also mentioned other times how being nerdy/geeky didn't use to be accepted. In the 4/13 stereo show, dan says: "Before YouTube, if you were a nerd, you felt like you weren't a valid member of society unless you were, like, captain of the football team or whatever. [...] Now, thanks to social media, it's like 'oh, okay, well if someone like Hank Green can exist, I'm fine.'" What's extra interesting about this example specifically is that dan is talking about representation in response to a fan prompting him to talk about queer representation in media. So like, yes the majority of dan's struggles in accepting himself were surrounding his sexuality, but I do also think there was a layer of being a nerdy kid at a time when it wasn't cool or fun that added onto him not accepting himself. And I do not think that that's completely separate from his nonacceptance of his sexuality.
So, what exactly does this have to do with dan expecting phil to be super debonair and then having those expectations shattered? But then still wanting phil, arguably even more than he did before? Well, I think that phil was (and is) unapologetically himself, and that was inspiring for dan to see. dan said in BIG that he didn't meet an out gay person until he was 18, so either that person was phil himself or he met phil shortly afterwards and phil was therefore one of the first out gay people dan knew. and we know from phil's coming out video that he wasn't ashamed of his sexuality at that time. but phil's acceptance of himself goes beyond his sexuality, like just look at his YouTube content at the time. he was doing experimental stuff that was weird as shit (I don't mean that in a bad way I like his old vids!). most people probably would not have the confidence or self-assurance to make the stuff he was making, let alone post it. and then, beyond that, he was just a nerdy guy himself! but it was something that he openly talked about online and we know he and dan bonded over video games/tv shows/etc.
And now let's think about this from dan's perspective. He's been watching this guy's videos forever. He's been talking to him online for the past couple of months, and while he was talking with phil (rather than "amazingphil"), I'm sure there was still that element of like "wow holy shit I can't believe I'm talking with amazingphil!" Hence why dan says in the mean girls video that he was expecting phil to be all "hi, I'm amazingphil! 😏" when they first met (also side note, when dan starts to make this joke phil starts doing it at the same time, so I'm sure this is a discussion they've had before lol). but Phil wasn't like that!!! he was all hunched over and awkward and dorky! because he was nervous!! BUT he wasn't ashamed of that. he wasn't trying to put on some AmazingPhil™ Smooth Operator Refined front. He was just himself. Unapologetically so. And for dan, I think that that meant so much in terms of accepting himself, but also feeling accepted. because how was he going to believe phil when he said "dan I love you for who you are" if phil was hiding himself around dan?
So yeah, I think that's why dan saw goblin phil, not amazingphil, and was still like "yeah I want to build my life with this person." Because for him, phil represented self-acceptance and being accepted and a safe place and someone who he could be on the same wavelength with and true unconditional love and someone he can geek out with and someone who will let him yap for an hour about whatever the hell dan has decided to talk about that day. of course he would like phil more than whatever version of amazingphil he had built up in his head. because phil loves dan for who he truly is and dan loves phil for who he truly is :)

Conversation
The maid outfit | 16.03.2021
Phil: But it's interesting, when I actually put the maid outfit on for the Viewers Pick My Outfits, which was like a jokey part, that
Dan: I mean, that wasn't a serious outfit, it was like a super ugly eBay outfit
Phil: Yeah. It was a terrible eBay maid outfit but it created quite a strong reaction online. Like I saw people tweeting me like, there were some people talking about it like: Oh, it's so wrong, have you seen this? This looks terrible! What is he thinking? And I was thinking like, why are they having such a strong reaction to something-
Dan: Wait, wait, wait. Were people saying like, this is a BAD maid outfit, it's a joke, you don't look sexy?
Phil: No!
Dan: Or were they being like ugh, Phil's wearing a girl dress.
Phil: It was like, yeah, it was like a disgust.
Dan: Oh my god! When was this video? Like 3 weeks or months? I don't know
Phil: Where- it's fine!
Dan: 1992? WAHT. You found people that were offended that you-? You weren't even like trying to do drag or have a femme look.
Phil: No.
Dan: You were wearing a very ugly maid outfit, and people were offended?
Phil: Yeah.
Dan: Oh my god.
Phil: It didn't upset me. It was more of an interesting like, I wonder why.
Dan: That's rare.
Phil: If I'd worn like a banana suit...
*Dan starts laughing*
Phil: Would I have had the same, like, oh, what's he doing with his life?
Dan: That's fine, but then you know, oh, god forbid you wear that frilly apron. They are going to FLIP OUT.
Phil: Yeah, so it's interesting.
Dan: I'm going to call my grandma. God, that's... I feel like you found a rare Pokémon or something. You should have taken a screenshot and put it in a museum.
Phil: I obviously saw more people being excited and laughing at the video. So yeah, it didn't bother me, it was just... it was odd that that still in 2021 - 2020? - created such a visceral reaction in some people.
Dan: And you've got to imagine that even amongst all the people listening right now, there are a few dozen people, right now listening, that are maybe feeling the same way. Lowkey.
Phil *unbothered*: Yeah.
Dan: So I just want to say to those people that if you are in anyway comparable to the journeys that me and Phil have gone on, inwardly, and this doesn't even have to be about sexual identity or gender identity, just in terms of the rules you think people have to follow in life, or whatever. Maybe just question it. Because there's nothing wrong with it. And it's okay. And if you've been brought up to believe something or it goes against something or you'd feel afraid if you made the same decision, it's okay to acknowledge that. But then just think: Maybe I should just let it go? Is it alright? Is there actually nothing wrong with Phil wearing a horribly ugly maid dress other than the fact that he did look stupid and ridiculous on his own YouTube channel in front of a million people?
Phil: Yeah, I think that's a thing.
Dan: You really did.
Phil: If you go down "path of why", like why do I feel like this? Where did that come from? Does that make sense? And why am I getting annoyed by something so small? You can probably break it down to think, that doesn't make sense! I must have these thoughts for societal reasons that shouldn't be in my head!

*sigh*
about the whole ‘do not ship real people. ever’ argument i’m gonna HAVE to say my piece on it and then i’m gonna shut up forever because i’ve heard it ALL and i just have to get all my thoughts out there even if no one reads them
i don’t know how else to explain i have never once ‘shipped’ something ever in my whole life. i have merely perceived and enthused over what EXISTS. like, correct me if i’m wrong, but....what would you ever get out of shipping two people who AREN’T actually together??? what is the point? you don’t get anything out of that; i mean, it sounds pretty exhausting and sad to look for proof where there is none. and they don’t get anything out of that. THAT is where it absolutely becomes gross and creepy and i have no respect for rps like that. septiplier is a PRIME example, where both people involved have gone on the record saying it destroys relationships because of course it does! why don’t people have any common sense! which is why my rule is to never let myself ‘ship’ something unless they are indisputably an item, and THAT’S where the cardinal rule of ‘don’t ship real people’ gets fuzzy.
i have been around the block in terms of rps HEAVILY with dan and phil. i have also engaged in a small way with joey and lauren(richpez) and reeve carney and eva noblezada from hadestown.(i have been correct in my assumptions[that they are in fact together] all three times so.....yeah, i kind of know what i’m on about) and from my well-versed experience, the essence and entertainment factor of rps is kind of the whole investigative nature? we become body language analysts and experts and stories resurface as do old tweets that when you put everything together, the natural conclusion(that yeah duh they’re obviously dating) would be super hard to ignore. and here is my thesis: shipping real people is fine as long as, 1. you have REALLY good reason to believe they are in fact in a relationship, to a point where it’s undeniable and 2. the speculation stays ONLINE, AWAY FROM THE PARTIES INVOLVED. both of these two coinciding statements have to be true for me to get behind it in any way.
anytime one of those rules are broken is when things get SUPER messy, and SUPER harmful SUPER fast. i’m gonna use dan and phil as an example again because i know what happened there the best. i’ve heard countless stories of people going right up to dan and asking who tops and who bottoms. there have been more than one instance of people going to meet and greets purely to corner them both and ask if they’re in a relationship. and props to dan and phil for putting themselves out there and risking...you know, those kind of interactions. because what the actual fuck. and yes, dan and phil are together, have been since 2009(and if you disagree i literally do not know how to explain that you are both blind and being willfully heteronormative), but that doesn’t give anyone the right to play an active part in it. witness it, sure. speculate with like minded individuals on tumblr? of course. but when you cross lines, and you KNOW you’re crossing lines..that is super, super uncomfortable for everyone involved. i do not disagree that that sort of thing is seriously stupid and harmful, which dan also confirmed in his coming out video that that sort of thing quite literally scarred him for life. just imagine how dehumanizing it would be, for people to perceive you as, not a person, but one half of a ship on the internet? and to feel entitled enough as to literally ask them about them it? gross. creepy. weird. 
BUT! youtube clip analysis posts on tumblr is NOT THE SAME THING AS BEING DISRESPECTUL. honestly, any posting on tumblr(again! AWAY from the parties involved) is NOT THE SAME THING. talking about them in youtube or tiktok comment sections, not the same thing. and i’m talking about specific ships here, LIKE cockles, because they are what prompted this post from me. 
i am not saying you have to agree with those type of posts, but like...just leave them alone? maybe? and if you call me crazy, i’m gonna laugh at you, because i know what i’m talking about and i could blow your mind.
to go even further, and i’ll use my two comfort couples as examples: on some level(WITH COUPLES THAT ACTUALLY EXIST), they probably, definitely appreciate being shipped. think about it. not the invasive aspects of it, like asking about what they do in private and investigating their addresses so you could maybe stalk them(which has happened and i think larry stylinson got it worse? i’m avoiding that whole thing because it sounds like an otherworldly mess). i’m talking the best part of it, which is seeing and sharing clips of them looking at each other and saying ‘they look so in love here’. both of my couples have terms coined after these types of things...’heart eyes howell’ ‘love eyes lester’ and the ‘unicorn laugh’ all come to mind.(misha doesn’t have a term but boy does he have the expressions) i mean, if you were in a relationship, and people saw how happy you were, and just like, basked in that happiness online, that’s kind of beautiful, no? i would want that. 
and about my actual post where people are like ‘go outside. stop shipping real people this is crazy’ ...does my posting about an interview answer jensen gave in 2016 seriously hurt anyone in any way? really? maybe,,,,don’t interact with posts that aren’t to your own personal taste? again, jensen literally SAID THOSE THINGS. jensen and misha SAY CRAZY THINGS LIKE THAT. they SHARE ANNIVERSARY POSTS. THEY MAKE JOKES ABOUT THEM HAVING SEX 24/7. THEY ARE PUTTING A GUN TO OUR HEADS AND FORCING US TO WITNESS THEM. jensen SAID that answer because that’s the furthest he can go without completely outing himself as a bi, poly man and i’m simply seeing that and reacting to it, just like he wants me to. i don’t feel wrong or weird for any analysis posts when it comes to them because they are actively egging us on and actually do want us to know. so. 
i guess i’m ranting because i resent being called, like, a crazy shipper fangirl or something. i am not crazy. or stupid. and i have a brain and would never cross any lines. and maybe consider why ships like cockles and phan gained so much traction in the first place. maybe consider we’re not reaching and never have been. on that note, maybe consider why DESTIEL gained so much traction when tptb never intended for it to happen. ...

oh boy i sure did write many words in 2020
Hi! I am copying people due to i want to.  This is a lil (well... 63) round up of all the fics I wrote this year! Cos i’m very evil @ myself and writing fic and think i’m either not doing enough, or not doing it good enough, so i wanna full list of what I actually did so I can see my own accomplishments and can maybe... clap 4 myself for once. And honestly writing has helped MASSIVELY with my depression so.. that’s a bonus. 
ALSO. this is a big huge thankyou to everyone! I only joined here + started writing in august and you’ve all been so so nice and welcoming and supportive  <333 ;_; and I know they say write for yourself... but honestly peoples comments and excitement about my stuff has just been really, really lovely and I would never have written this much without all of you cheering me on<3.

1/2 nah foh with the homophobia argument thats such an odd and sad cop-out when it comes to someone having a different opinion to you... i also would hardly call myself a phanti at this point i just get so??? when ppl post abt dnp being 100% in love and blah blah like. alright! im of the opinion that i wont post any of that shit until they want us to fully know theyre together which they clearly dont. like yes ppl can read between lines i know but they still .. havent said it and dont start
Tumblr media
right off the bat, i really don’t like the tone of this ask but yknow i’m gonna give you the satisfaction of me answering this so we can have a... somewhat civilised conversation about this, since i did invite anyone with their own “phanti” opinions to come give me their reasonings.
the homophobia explanation is definitely not a cop-out for someone having a different opinion to me. like i said, i really do not care in what you believe when it comes down to dan and phil. it just truly baffles me as to why phantis wanna come onto our side and get flustered when we start talking about it, like? do you not have your own fandom spaces to make those kinds of posts? you clearly know that a majority of us here are not gonna agree with you. but, i digress.
dan and phil, a long time before coming out, lived in, what a lot of people called; a glass closet. so, obviously they weren’t actually out out, but they insinuated. they got comfy with us. they let us, the viewers know, and that’s why we have a somewhat.. relaxed relationship with them. they consider us more than just “fans” (a word they don’t even like to use) because yet. the whole “they know we know” DOES matter. dan’s mentioned it countless times before, that his audience helped him overcome certain things in regards to his sexuality. he’s said that because of his support and of our understanding, it helped him come out.
anon, if you don’t want to believe it. i really am fine with that. it’s not my job to change your mind. for whatever reason you’re so against it, then... idk. i hope you figure that out. dan and phil aren’t gonna scold you for thinking “hey! they’re cute together!”
the most interesting thing to me is, how a lot of people like yourself always try to... i guess, defend? dan and phil? and. yknow. i guess your heart is in the right place! you don’t want them to get hurt or upset and i get that. but dan and phil are quite literally grown men.
it kinda links into the argument of “why do you write fanfiction about real people thats so gross!” and when it applies to real people who have opposed of having fanfiction written about them, then sure i guess. but dan and phil have mentioned a bunch of times that they’re fine with us writing smut and drawing them in any which way. and that ties in with discussion their relationship. they’ve liked fanart before that has them being “couple-y.” phil’s read out comments before that joke about relationships. dan’s been VERY open on stereo lately (see, story about phil’s bare ass) and from what i can gather, they really don’t have a problem with that. the things dan mentioned in BIG about people prying, is in reference to things like people stalking his brother for information, or when people found phil’s private facebook and starting sharing his personal things around. THAT, yes is too far. but from what i’ve seen since i’ve been here? none of that. we just have a good time and get to look up to two queer icons and celebrate their love! why not be on that side!! it’s so much more fun, i promise!
i can assure you anon, if we’ve stepped anywhere we haven’t been allowed, dan and phil are very capable of telling us. there’s a trust between them, and their audience. that’s why they’re finding it easier and more enjoyable to be more open with us. that’s why they’re celebrating their forever home with us. so if that’s what you’re worried about, you really don’t have to. dan and phil are dumb but they’re not idiots.

okay let's try again
HI HELLO CONTINUING THE TRADITION ohmygod?? first of all I'm just going to say that phil is so HOT imagine being hot and smart and funny at the same time ugh im having feelings. okay now the video. SO CHAOTIC right from the beginning w the boxes and phil struggling to get out and dan closing the door on him enxjsnkd they're dorks. there were so many casual dan mentions through out this video :(( lets start with the PHOTOBOOTH AND THE STRANGE MAN CALLING DAN HOT RIGHT IN FRONT OF PHIL'S SALAD?? sjxjsjs he really went "huh they're squishing their faces together?🧐 must be really good friends! let me hit on one of them 🤪" strange man story aside though the fact that phil kept all 500 photos 🥺 and the polaroids on their fridge of steve and phil in dan's cat nightie and what seems to be a cropped photo of dan holding a dog :(( like may said yesterday in this post that caused more emotional damage than comfort, they have sooo many tangible pieces of memories from this shared life of theirs :') also the video on the hardrive segment was sooo funny i cackled the entire time wjsjwjdj phil's emotional rollercoaster journey was so funny to watch like "Bed?? 🧐 DAN!!!???!? 😐 wtf is this?? where is this?? 😡 do i have to call the divorce lawyers now 🤨 and who's that other pers-- oHhhh yess we were flat hunting together to share all our time together in our shared life lol 😜🥰" i hate them truly. and then obviously the absolute craziness that was the spa god bless kath for rejecting it lmao iconic honestly. Dan just filming phil doing phil things and laughing and complaining, im going to shamelessly cite my own post here, i want that your honour 😔. jokes aside though, im loving this new style of Amazingphil + vlog he's going for. its so domestic in a way that we witness them just living together and existing :') phil has been testing the waters w his content esp in the last year and its nice to see this casual jenna marbles approach w a sprinkle of extraness in a way and seeing what works and what doesn't. ahh im looking forward to all the content we'll be getting this year :') thank u once again for listening to my rambles this became long ahhendjek sorry I love u mwahhh 💓💓💓
omg yes all of this i AGREE W YOU 😤🥺🥺🥺🥺 theres so much to unpack here (wow what an excellent pun bridge)
first of all ur absolutely right and you should say it phil 👏 has 👏 it 👏 all 👏 imagine being so talented and funny and beautiful could NOT be me. ok the first part literally warmed and then broke my heart why do we get to see them being cute and funny and at home together why do we have that right and privilege
i would like to go on record that phil saying that the guy checking out dan wanted to make a friend is the most on brand thing phil has ever done. (side note @ that guy if they were looking for a third they would have invited you into the booth sir 💔)
THE APARTMENT FOOTAGE. the styrofoam chair. omg. the shaky dan cam and phil recognizing him in an instant was actually right in front of MY salad 😒😒
but then don’t get me STARTED on the spa part omg top ten things i never wanted to happen in front of my salad but also it was so cute i’m such a ball of rage it’s so rude
t h e y a r e s o m a r r i e d and i agree it’s literally so incredibly horrible that i don’t have what they have at this very moment 😠
and i so much agree that this new style is SO GOOD. like he’s being more himself and not Quirky AmazingPhil 🤩 and i’m so so here for it. like i think it really reflects this idea that i for some reason keep pushing that they’re just clearing out people who don’t want their actual genuine selves, especially phil ❤️ it’s so nice to feel like he’s just being normal, and it feels like we’re getting to know him a little bit better?
idk i feel like i normally have some sort of Take i want to add on but man it’s just so nice to see his regular content feel so comfortable and endearing and i love it :))))

Miles of skin
summary: there’s so much dan loves, it’s hard to list it all
genre: fluff, 
warnings:swearing, sexual scenes (not too detailed), lots of body imagery
hair
When Dan was 18 and dreaming up his ideal partner, it never started with black, straight hair. It was usually blonde, maybe slightly ginger, and swept away from their face. his ideal man was a model. he thought of them stood on a beach, perhaps, their hair blowing in the wind. jaw strong and chiselled, Dan much smaller, nestled in their arms like a prize.
But Phil, he wasn’t like that. Phil had hair as black as anything, in a straight fringe across his forehead. he wasn’t a chiselled model, and he certainly wasn’t much taller than Dan. when he stood on the beach, he squinted and complained that his glasses were going to blow away, and took time to swipe his hair away from said glasses. Dan couldn’t stand nestled under his arm, more like the other way round. but Phil was special. As Dan got older, he realised that the perfect guy wasn’t perfect. His Phil wasn’t perfect, either. But he was the closest, he thinks, he could ever get. He didn’t want perfect, anymore, he wanted his Phil. His Phil with the stupid straight emo hair that, when he got older, started being pushed into a quiff. Phil looked sexy with a quiff.
eyes
Dan had never been one for beautiful eyes. he didn’t look into someone’s eyes and feel taken away by their colour, or shape, or size. when he was younger, he struggled to look into people’s eyes, anyway, preferring to cast his gaze between their eyebrows or down at the floor. he struggled to feel any connections and he certainly did not believe eyes could hold pain or happiness. he just didn’t believe it. he hated his own eyes, too. he hated their colour and the almond shape, his obnoxiously long eyelashes that curled into his eyes sometimes and hurt. but, then he met Phil.
it was when Dan saw a picture of Phil that he started to doubt his own intuition. you could go swimming in those eyes he thought. in fact, he commented it, right there on the very photo. the camera he used for YouTube did no justice. when they met, it was the first pair of eyes Dan could look straight into. the first pair he could see love brimming in, focused solely on him. Dan was elated. it was the first pair he saw the pain in, shown by shed tears as they hugged goodbye at the train station. it was the first he saw untainted happiness in when Dan agreed to move in with him after announcing he would be attending Manchester university. they were, undoubtedly, just eyes. but my god, they were the most beautiful pair Dan had ever seen. though, Phil.s favourite activity was to argue that Dan's were, in fact, the “most beautiful plus 1.”
lips
Dan always thought lips were just lips. he didn’t understand why he was so chapped, he didn’t understand why people got injections to plump them up, he didn’t understand at all. the only time he really concentrated on people’s lips was when he couldn’t be bothered listening to what they were saying, so he’d lip-read instead, albeit rather unsuccessfully. he never looked at someone and thought fuck, they should do something about that or wow I wish I could kiss them. well, until he met Phil, of course.
after he’d noticed Phil's eyes, his gaze wandered down to his lips. plump and inviting, pink and so smooth. Dan suddenly felt the need to apply five tubs of Vaseline. he stared at Phil’s lips the day they met, and not just to lip read. Phil didn’t really hint at much, but Dan saw how his lips curved into a smirk, obviously. they’d gotten on the Manchester eye, hands clasped between them. Dan thought he’d been subtle. Phil had bitten his lip, Dan had reciprocated without thinking. that’s when he was kissed. soft and gentle, unsure yet so passionately. it was wonderful, chapped against smooth. Dan reiterated his apologies for his chapped lips. Phil laughed and stroked his thumb along the bottom one, pulling it and watching it ping back into place. another gentle kiss. you’re perfect.
neck
Dan didn’t have a neck kink, he told himself, he just found it really fucking arousing when someone kissed his neck. or if he was indulging himself alone, or perhaps on Skype to Phil, he swiped his thumb along the side now and then, gasping at the spark of unadulterated pleasure. but he didn’t have a neck kink. Phil changed things for him, though.
the first time they made love was wonderful. Dan experienced things he’d never felt, just taking and taking from Phil's body, only able to emit the smallest gasps of love. Phil gave it all to him, never held back. he showed Dan what he’d been missing.
they were moulded together, one entity. Phil buried deep inside him, his head tugged into his neck as he whispered encouraging words. Dan’s eyes were squeezed shut, alleviating his senses most deliciously. that’s when Phil had whimpered against his neck, the blow of hot hair making Dan tip his head back and let out an almost scream. a quiet scream, no doubt. Phil had smirked, pulling back to look at Dan’s face (which was turning more crimson by the second.)
“you’re beautiful,” Phil had whispered, kissing the corner of Dan’s mouth before moving back to his neck. he started kissing at first, barely applying much pressure, revelling in the short intake of breath from Dan’s mouth. then he applied more pressure before he was nibbling at Dan’s neck, moving along until he found the place that made Dan tense up, letting out a shrill moan and a large breath of air. Phil kept at this spot, sucking and sucking until the mark bloomed up against the pale skin of Dan’s neck. 
Dan had come with a shout and then a whisper of Phil's name, Phil's mouth against his neck and his tip pressing against the most sensitive place inside of him. Dan vowed to never let anyone love him the way Phil did ever again.
shoulders
shoulders were never something Dan thought about. they usually resided underneath someone's clothes, occasionally flexing when the person lifted something or wrote. it was never anything special, nothing that made Dan want to strike up a conversation with a person or beg them to pin him down to a mattress. they were shoulders. 
when he met Phil, he noticed that Phil's shoulders were broad. they were the type of shoulders you would associate with a man, though stereotypical. when Dan hugged him for the first time, he allowed himself to notice the muscle under his shirt, allowing his hands to find a home on top of them when they pulled away, not-so-discretely squeezing. Phil was his boyfriend, his man. he was the one Dan cuddled up to, a hand placed over his heart, head bracketed between Phil's chin and his shoulders, loved and protected from the whole world. dan felt pretty damn undefeatable with his head nestled there. he was the one who let Dan throw his arms around his neck when he was happy or encased him when he cried or screamed. he was the one who used the strength within those shoulders and arms to carry Dan to bed when he fell asleep on the sofa. he was nothing less than the love of dance life and his shoulders, though minor, were strong. they were Dan’s favourite place to sleep and his favourite place to wake up. 
tummy
Phil always joked over messenger about actually having a dad bod hidden beneath the camera.
“id love you all the same,” Dan insisted every time, fondness twinkling in his eyes. Phil would smirk, leaning closer to the camera with his tongue caught between his teeth. Dan longed to be with him. 
when Dan saw the first full body picture of Phil, his jaw literally dropped. Phil was beautiful, Dan had known that even just from looking at his face, but seeing his whole body was something Dan kept locked in his mind all the time. Phil was hot. not just hot, but hot. he was something Dan would've never dreamed of because his mind wasn't capable of conjuring something so wonderful. Phil had sent it to him shyly, telling Dan to check his messages whilst they were on Skype. Dan had stared at the picture for too long, only remembering he was on a video call when he heard Phil cough. he looked up just in time to see Phil cast his eyes down, blushing and his lip pulled between his teeth.
“you're fucking beautiful, Phil Lester,” Dan had whimpered, tears in his eyes. “I want to be with you so bad right now.”
“what, you don't think I'm too fat, hm?” Phil had whispered. Dan suddenly realised all of his jokes, were actually issues. Dan had stared at the screen, not quite sure what to say, not quite sure how to articulate what a fucking masterpiece Phil Lester was.
“I say this with all the love I can muster,” Dan had said. “shut the fuck up.”
Phil had giggled, finally looking back at Dan.
“Phil, how’d I get so lucky?” Dan settled on, shaking his head in disbelief.
Phil had never needed to complain about his appearance after that, because every day, Dan told him he was beautiful.
to this day in 2020, Dan tells him he's beautiful. whether its when Dan wakes up first and watches Phil for a while before carding a hand through his hair and muttering a “you're pretty, Lester,” or whether it's after a shower when Phil's skin is dry and flaky, and he's squinting trying to see through the fog without his glasses (Dan will usually slip his glasses back on, kiss the tip of his nose, unravel the towel from around his waist, and drop to his knees. Phil doesn't need words at times like this.)
legs
growing up, Dan had always had little stumpy legs that kept him below shoulder height of everyone. people made jokes about how his little legs couldn’t keep up in the playground, or his mother would tell him his legs were too little to climb the trees, and the workers at the fair told him he could ride when he grew a few more inches. it was frustrating for Dan... well until he hit 14. it was as if overnight, he became a lanky 6-foot-something lad, who didn’t quite know how to control his long limbs, constantly carving his shin off the coffee table and walking into open doors because he couldn’t see them at eye level. Dan hated long legs. well... his own.
Phil was also 6-foot-something. if Dan thought he was tall when he met Phil he was the short one. he had to look up at Phil and when they hugged, Dan's head just about reached his shoulder. Dan loved to run his hands up and down Phil’s legs when they were lying together on the bed, Phil giggling and tugging at Dan’s fringe with a “get back up here.” Dan wasn’t sure what it was, but Phil’s legs set off some kind of primal, animalistic urge within him. he wanted to cover every inch with his lips, kiss and nip his shins till they were red, suck on his thighs and leave bruises that still wouldn’t be faded by the time he got back to Manchester. he loved to hang behind Phil so he could watch how his legs moved, long and lean as he took clumsy steps downstairs or long strides down the streets of London. he loved to watch Phil try to fold his legs up in the bathtub, insisting that they could both fit. even when Dan's legs length surpassed Phi’ls, he was never quite as mesmerised. Phil's favourite part of Dan's body was probably his thighs, as he spent most of his time caressing them and squeezing and kissing them, but Dan didn’t understand how he could love Dan's so much, but hate his own. it was something they could argue about though when they lay sated and naked, curled up together.
“I love your thighs,” Phil would mutter.
“Yeah, well, I love yours more,” Dan would grin, kissing the top of his head.
“in this essay, I will explain why yours are better...” Phil would joke. they never took it much further though, just silently knowing that they were right.
bum
Dan kind of understands this one. he wouldn’t date someone based off their ass, but it didn’t hurt to feel the appeal. Dan's own wasn’t too flat until he crammed it into his obnoxiously tight skinny jeans that pushed it down so much that it looked like nothing. he didn't mind though, anything for fashion. Phil would usually pout quite a bit though, pulling Dan forward by the belt loops and kissing him, trying to sneakily undo the button and tug them back down.
“looser ones,” Phil always murmured against Dan's lips, crossing his arms when Dan would roll his eyes at him.
“what do I do for you?” Dan would sigh dramatically, kicking them off and putting Phil's favourite pair on.
but Phil's ass was perfect. it was impossible to crush as, even when he’d wear a pair of Dan's jeans, it was still there. Dan usually always slapped his ass when he bent over as a joke, giggling as Phil would jump and whine “Dan!” Dan couldn’t help it though.
when they kissed, his hands usually started on the small of Phil’s back. ever since he’d grown, Phil’s go to was to stand on tippy toes so he could reach around Dan's neck, insisting it brought them closer together when Dan would complain that his back hurt. he was only joking really though, as this way, when it got heated, Dan could move his hands down over the curve of Phil's ass, pulling him closer to press flush against each other, or even grind their bodies together if things got especially heated. it was just a wonderful part of Phil that Dan loved so much (especially whenever he was big spoon at night time and he could feel it pushed up against his body)
everything
Before they met, Dan never appreciated the beauty of the human body. with Phil, he appreciated it. because contained within that body, was the most beautiful soul, the funniest personality and the most gentle, loving giant he’d ever known. It was the perfect body for Dan’s favourite person in the whole world. He wouldn’t change a thing about it, ever. from his brilliant blue eyes down to the tips of his toes, Phil was beautiful, inside and out. 
and Dan never tried to stop himself from falling deeper in love every day..
