Paris

December 2022

After the craziest year anyone could ever imagine, exploring and staying in a variety of hotels across the globe, the last convention of 2022 was finally happening. You had been by your boyfriend's side the entire time; your job as a freelance photographer/social media specialist pretty much allowed you to travel anywhere and everywhere and luckily Joe's team were on board with you providing his official con photos and managing his social media. But as ideal as that sounds, it hadnt been easy.

It had been one of the best experiences of your life, watching the man that you love so, so much bring so much joy to the millions of people around the world who adored him. Despite being at every convention, watching all the fan interactions and all the panels, you were never bored. It hadn't all been perfect though, in fact it had been extremely trying at times, what with Joe being so damn exhausted there was barely any 'you' time, or fans getting a little bit too crazy at the meet and greets, but you wouldn't have traded it for the world.

You'd think that being cooped up on planes, in hotel rooms and travelling constatnly for months on end, spending almost every waking minute of the day together would have seriously damaged your relationship, but in all honesty, it brought you and Joe closer together. Sure, there have been times where you’ve wanted to smother each other with the shitty hotel pillows, but what couple doesn't argue? Without the option of slamming the bedroom door shut and sulking, you've learnt to just talk it out, and move on, and things have just gotten better and better. You had just celebrated our 4 year anniversary in Tokyo last month, and Jamie was constantly teasing you, telling you if you didn't get a ring this Christmas, you two could just run away together instead.

Of course, Joe had gotten super salty at the joke, seemingly never being able to escape the never ending question from his family and friends of when he was finally going to pop the question. He didn't need it from Jamie now too. He was going to do it, he just didn't want to rush it after all.

As it was the last con of 2022, Joe's team had given you some time off to just enjoy the convention, acknowledging that you had worked through your anniversary in Japan. This meant you could actually walk around the con and hang out with some of your friends, and enjoy the panels, which you were grateful for. You had some time to chat with Joe's dad too, which was always a good time, you got on so well with him and it was nice to see just how proud he was of his son.

Although you had been together for 4 years now, you and Joe weren't quite comfortable with going public with your relationship just yet. Joe had sky rocketed to fame overnight and his fanbase could be a little...intense. They went into a frenzy if he was spotted within 5 feet of another girl, and said girls were always stalked and harassed online and Joe didn't want that for you. You'd been pretty good at hiding it so far, most fans just thinking you were part of Joe's management team always there to keep him on schedule. It was a bit shit not being able to hold his hand or give him a hug in public but when the time was right, you both agreed you would go public.

You had headed back to the hotel a little before the con was over, Joe would no doubt get waylaid by fans outside the convention centre and you'd said you would order you both some food and run a bath for him so he could just relax now he was done for the Christmas period. New Orleans was a little after New Years so you'd have time to explore Paris, get home for Christmas and see in the New Year together.

Joe practically collapses through the door and you run to hug him, you were both desperate to touch each other after a long day of pretending to be work friends.

"Hi," you mumbled into his neck. "Last one for this year done, babe. I'm so proud of you."

He doesn't respond, he's holding onto you as if someone was threatening to take you away from him. "Babe, what's wrong?"

"I love you so much," he whispers. "Thank you."

"Joe, you don't need to thank-"

"Yeah, I do. I just thought that you've been there from the very start, and you've worked so hard, putting up with all my shit and you've been so supportive. I couldn't have done it without you." He sniffs, looking a little emotional. "Tonight was the first night I've actually been able to see you and not your camera, and knowing you were actually there, right in front of me, like, everything from the past 4 years went through my head and I could see you smiling at me, and the fans and I just..." he trails off, at a loss for words. You kiss his cheek, your own eyes welling up.

"You're such a soppy git, Joe." You tease him, but he knows you're joking.

"Shut up, you're just as soppy. " He laughs, poking you in the side gently. You poke my tongue out at him and he crosses his eyes in response, before my phone buzzes to let me know our food has been delivered to the hotel lobby. You break away from Joe, kissing his cheek and heading downstairs to grab your food.

You both scoff down your food, both of you having been way too busy to really eat a proper meal today, and then Joe gets into the bath. He tries to persuade you to join him, but honestly the bathtub here was smaller than the one at home, and even that could be a struggle to fit the both of you in, so you decline, changing into your pyjamas and watching some random show on TV and scrolling through your phone, replying to messages in the Quinn family group chat and your own family group chat.

You can't help but bite your lip in appreciation as Joe comes back into the bedroom, a towel around his waist and his curls dripping. He makes his way over to his suitcase in search for a pair of clean boxers. Your eyes scan over his bare torso, his broad shoulders, sharp collarbones, toned arms and his perfect stomach with a dusting of dark hair disappearing into the towel. He feels your eyes on him, standing up and turning around.

"What?" He smirks, stifling a yawn. You return his smirk, stretching a little.

"Nothing, just admiring my boyfriend. That alright with you?"

"Depends, can I ogle you like a pervert the next time you come out in just a towel?" Joe jokes, quickly pulling his boxers on under his towel, pulling it off and hanging it back up in the bathroom, before crawling on the bed and collapsing on his stomach, sighing heavily.

"You do anyway, I'm just more subtle about my staring, Quinn."

"You're just as pervy as me, Y/N, dont even try and pretend you're not. " he laughs, turning onto his side, pulling you down and wrapping his arm around you. You cuddle into him, burying your face in his neck.

"Difference is, Joseph, the whole Internet can see what a flirt you are, nobody has dirt on me."

"M'too tired for your smart arse right now."

"You like my smart arse." You grin into his skin, and he chuckles, the sound rumbling in his throat.

"I like your smart everything," he mumbles, kissing the top of your head. You sigh in response, enjoying the feeling of him cuddled up to you. "M'so tired. And my back is killing me."

"Did you twinge it again?"

"Mm. Hurts."

You untangle myself from him and roll off the bed, rummaging through your suitcases until you find the baby oil you always use to keep your skin moisturised after a shower. You shake it up as you walk towards the bed. "On your stomach, babe."

"That is the most terrifying thing you could say to me whilst holding baby oil." He eyes the bottle in your hands suspiciously, but does what you've said anyway.

"I believe that would actually be 'face down, ass up and just relax'." You smirk, climbing back on the bed, straddling his legs. He groans dramatically, making you roll your eyes and laugh. "You're such a drama queen, babe."

"Making a living off of it, aren't I?"

"Yeah, yeah, shut up Mr Man of the Year." You quip, opening the bottle and pour some of the oil into your hands, rubbing them together to warm it up before pressing your palms against his shoulder blades. You apply just the amount of pressure that you know he likes, rubbing his flawless skin. "That okay?"

He responds by letting out a quiet moan of approval.

"How did I get so lucky?" Joe groans into the pillow as you continue to rub his shoulders and upper back, trying your best to work out the knots in his muscles. You smile, placing a kiss to the back of his neck that makes him shiver slightly.

"You elbowed me in the tits on the Underground and made me spill my coffee all over myself." You chuckle, adjusting your position on his legs so you could massage further down.

"The one time in my whole life that me being a clumsy twat has actually worked out in my favour." Joe's voice is muffled by the pillow, but you can tell he's smiling. He grunts in pleasure as you knead his lower back gently.

"Meh, you're just lucky I thought you were hot." You teased, gently poking him in the sides. He chuckles softly. "And you were, and still can be, so socially awkward, it was endearing."

"Mm, love you." He mumbles, and you know he's slowly falling asleep by the way his body is relaxing beneath you.

"Love you too, babe." You whisper back, moving off of his back and into bed next to him, pulling the covers over both of you. Ypu push his curls back from over his face. "Always have, always will." You kiss his temple and turn off the bedside lamp, letting him sleep off the post convention exhaustion whilst you take advantage of the good selection of TV channels the hotel has.

A few hours later, you're still awake and on your phone, scrolling through Instagram, the TV long turned off. You're laid on your side facing away from your currently snoring boyfriend. Joe grumbles in his sleep and rolls over, moulding his body around yours and spooning you. You feel something poking you in your bum and smirk to yourself, wiggling your butt back against him.

"Hmm, you still awake?" Joe whispers, his voice rough with sleep and exhaustion, one of his hands running over your thigh.

"Mm, I didn't wake you up, did I?" You reply, shivering in delight as his lips graze your neck. You roll over to face him, and he moves your leg on top of his, moving your bodies closer together as he kisses you hard, his hands wandering around to your ass and squeezing it.

Oh.

You see where this is going.

"Are you sure you're up to this, Joe? You're exhausted." You say quietly, trying your best to control your breathing after you break away. Thanks to your busy schedules, it been at least two weeks since you'd last had sex. You snuck in whatever you could, but mostly it was just heavy make out sessions or occasionally a hand and/or blow job to help with Joe's anxiety levels. You were practically soaked already and he'd barely touched you.

"Never too tired for you," he mumbles, pecking your lips softly, and slowly lifting up the hem of your (his) shirt. "Off?"

You nod, and you both work together to rid you of the oversized shirt. "C'mere," he grunts, rolling you on top of him, his hands on your hips as he looks up at me.

"Lazy," you tease, your skin feeling like it's on fire as he runs his hands up your sides.

"Beautiful." He responds, giving you that little smile that makes your heart melt every time. It's a smile that only you get to see, and it's during your intimate moments like this that he smiles like that, and you fall in love with him all over again. You hum and lean down, kissing him passionately, your tongues dancing around each other. His hands return to your hips, pushing them down against his crotch as he lifts his hips up, and the friction and heat makes you both moan. You nibble on his bottom lip, which you know drives him crazy, before moving to kiss his jawline and neck, a somewhat external G-spot for him. "Fuck..."

"Well, if you want, I mean, I was just gonna suck you off and then take care of myself," you grin against his skin, and he responds by slapping your ass lightly. In return, you bite gently on his collarbone, and he grunts, the noise going straight in between your legs. "What do you want, Joe? Tell me."

"Wanna fuck you," he growls, turning his head and capturing your bottom lip between his teeth and tugging gently. "Wanna be inside you so bad, baby, please."

You whimper, nodding. Foreplay would have to wait for tonight.

You sit up and awkwardly peel off your underwear, throwing it somewhere in the room, deciding you'd find it in the morning. You gently palm Joe's cock through his boxers, making him grunt and moan your name loudly, before pulling them down his legs, and he kicks them off his feet. You take his cock into your hand, squeezing gently and stroking him a few times. "Please, baby, m'not gonna last long..." You'll let him off for that, it really has been forever since you last fucked. You reach across to the bedside table, grabbing a condom from your makeup bag (damn your birth control prescription running out before you'd realised) and tearing it open. He holds his hands out to put it on himself, but you slap them away, rolling it on him as slowly as possible, making him grit his teeth, grunt and buck his hips slightly.

Deciding to be a bit more of a tease, you hover above him for a few seconds, grinding down ever so slightly. He grips your hips so tight there will definitely be bruises in the morning, and he bites his lip, whimpering and cursing. You decide to let him off, because you want this just as much as he does, and you place the head of his cock at your dripping pussy, slowly sinking down onto him. He throws his head back and moans, a little too loudly, as do you. "God, I missed this...missed you."

"I missed you too," you sigh, placing your hands on his chest, giving yourself a bit of leverage before you start to move your hips. "Fuck, Joe, you feel so fucking good..." as much as you want this to last, you know it won't. You can already feel your orgasm growing as you grind down against him. He bucks his hips up, his cock brushing my g-spot. "Oh my god, Joe!"

"Fuck," he growls, his breathing heavy. "Faster, baby, please, I-" he cuts himself off with a moan as you obey. "Shit, fuck!"

"You're so loud," you giggle breathlessly, gasping as he places his thumb on your clit and rubs in time with your thrusts. "We're gonna get noise complai-AH, FUCK, JOE!"

"I'm the loud one, am I?" Fucking asshole.

"Shut up," You gasp, as he sits up, wrapping your legs around him and attaches his lips to your collarbone, sucking and biting as you move together. You can tell he's getting close from the way his breath is coming out in pants, and his moans are getting more desperate sounding. He rests his forehead against your shoulder, and you run your fingers through his curly hair, and he looks up at you.

"Kiss me," he whispers, and of course, you do. "M'getting close."

"Me too," you whisper back, and he reaches between you to stroke your clit. "Joe, I-"

"I know."

The room is filled with your moans, and heavy breathing as you both get closer and closer to the edge. Joe moves his hand and lies you down on the bed, so he's on top. He winks at you, and smirks as he puts your legs around his waist, and his hands either side of your head. He ducks down and kisses you softly before moving his hips, fucking you hard and fast, the way he knows you like it.

"Oh,my god Joe, I'm gonna cum!" You moan, digging your nails into his back.

"Do it, wanna feel you cum for me," he groans, and all it takes is him angling his hips just right, and you're coming, moaning his name probably way too loud, your whole body shaking. Joe curses and stills, pushing his cock inside you one last time as he cums into the condom, hard, his head dropping onto your shoulder as he whispers your name, telling you he loves you. You say it back, stroking his neck gently as he collapses on top of you, his head on your chest. "You're amazing."

"I think you'll find that's you, babe." You say breathlessly, grinning like a fool.

"I am pretty fucking good in bed, aren't I?" Joe grins, a teasing lilt to his voice.

"You always know what to say...so romantic," you roll your eyes, poking him in the tummy.

"Mhmm, you're very lucky. I mean, I even make sure you cum every single time we fuck, if that's not true love, I don't know what is." He pulls off the condom, tying it and throwing it into the bedside bin.

"Be still my beating heart!" You laugh and kiss the top of his head, rolling out from underneath him. He pouts, reaching out for you with grabby hands. "Joe, as much as I'd love to cuddle right now, I seriously need to shower after that. Wanna come with?"

"Depends, you might have to roll me, you've worn me out." he yawns, sitting up on the bed. "Besides, I already had a bath. Can't you just give me a sponge bath or something so I don't have to move?"

"Again, lazy. And I know you already showered, but if you think I'm cuddling with you when you smell like sweat and sex, you can fuck right off." You tease, grinning with your tongue poking between your teeth. You turn around, heading into the bathroom and turning on the shower. After waiting for the water to warm up, you step in, relishing the warmth cascading over you. A few minute later, you feel Joe's arms wrap around your waist and his body pressing up against yours. You stand in silence for a few moments, letting water fall down over you both. He then turns you around in his arms so you're facing him, your arms around his neck.

"Y'know, we could have just done it in here, that way we could be in bed right now." He says, flicking his wet hair out of his eyes. You run your fingers over the short hairs at the back of his neck as he leans his forehead against yours.

"Hey, I'm not the one who fell asleep before we'd even had a chance to do anything."

His face falls a little. "I'm sorry, I've been kind of a shitty boyfriend recently, haven't I?"

"What are you talking about?" You frown up at him, his beautiful brown eyes avoiding yours.

"Well, just with conventions and appearances and everything, and how busy we've been, I haven't had time to just...be with you, y'know?"

"Joe, we live together, we travel together, we're with each other every day almost-"

"That's not what I mean, we haven't been on a date in literally forever, I was at the con in Tokyo the entire day of our anniversary, and my dad was with us all day before that, for fucks sake!"

"Your dad is pretty much with us all the time, babe. It doesnt bother me, you know how much I love him. Turn around." You say, squirting some shampoo into your hand and massaging his scalp. He sighs.

"See, this is what I mean. You do all this nice stuff for me, like the back rubs, the food runs, the surprise blowies-"

"Which I do because I want to, not because I feel like I have to." You take the shower head off the wall and rinse his hair out, before running some conditioner through it. "I love you, and I know exactly what being with you entails. What kind of girlfriend would I be if I got salty about everything?"

"A normal one." Joe retorts, turning back around and gesturing for you to turn your back to him so he can wash your hair for you. "And I'm glad you're not, I just feel bad. You do everything for me and I can't even give you five minutes recently."

You don't respond, revelling in the feel of his fingers on your scalp, massaging in the shampoo. You hum appreciatively. He rinses out the shampoo and runs conditioner through your hair, making sure to cover every inch. "When we get home, I promise I'll make it up to you."

"Joe-"

"Please? We can go out and celebrate our anniversary properly, dinner, drinks, a movie, whatever you want."

You turn back around to face him. "What I want, is to stay in, order Chinese, shag and then fall asleep on the sofa with you. Joe you don't have to take me out, or buy me shit to make me feel like you love me. I know you love me, without all the materialistic crap, okay?"

He said nothing, instead he looked at you his eyes looking a little misty. He was an emotional mess tonight, but you couldn't really blame him. He blinked a couple of times, and kissed you on the nose.

"Turn around, you sap." He mumbled, giving you a small smile. He basically meant 'stop before you make me cry' in fewer words. You laughed softly, before turning back around so he could rinse your hair and his. Once you're clean, you step out and dry yourselves off, and you put on Joe's shirt again, this time pairing it with some pyjama shorts. You quickly dry my hair before getting back into bed, settling down with your head on his chest and his arms around you. "See, isn't this better than standing up and actually moving?"

"Mm," you sigh, already feeling your eyes getting heavy. "I miss our bed though."

"Me too, when we get home we are gonna spoon so fucking hard in bed for like a week." He mumbles into your hair.

"What about food and stuff?" You look up at him, raising an eyebrow. He laughs.

"Of all the things you're worried about, I love how food is at the top of that list. I fucking love you." He kisses the top of your head and switches off the bedside light. "Maybe we can persuade Wes to bring us breakfast in bed."

"Oh yeah, I can totally see him being okay with that," you laugh, my hand resting on Joe's stomach. "If anything, you owe me breakfast in bed after all these bloody photos I've taken of you. Know how hard it is to make you look good mid sentence?"

"Ouch, low blow, babe."

"I'm kidding, I'm kidding. You know I love looking at you, chocolate button eyes." You tease, laughing as he groans into his pillow.

"I need to learn to think before I divulge all this stuff. I'm never shaking that am I?"

"Never ever."

fuck it, in light of the recent prayers for a second festive ditl, which ditl is your favourite? (including the mini-ditl!) (but not including the New York one or Week in the Life of bc that was prep for Interactive Introverts and doesn’t count)

I’m personally a massive sucker for the three-and-a-bit Manchester and London ditls, quickly followed by Japan and Australia

now I just gotta figure out which one’s my actual favourite

rb for wider reach!

#this is N-Chu #dan and phil #amazingphil #daniel howell #phil lester #dan howell #dnp #watch me use multiple tags for once lmao #I should really make a sideblog for this but uh I will probably forget it exists

okay so I didn’t have the motivation to do Appreciation Week at first, but seeing @yonpote do it all in one day has inspired me so let’s do it! (but with screenshots and stuff bc Yeah LMAO)

for @dpgdaily’s Dan and Phil Appreciation Week!

post is under a break so that it doesn’t just break tumblr

Day 1 - Favourite Dan and/or Phil quote:

the entire opening from the pinof 7 bloopers is hilarious but by far one of my favourite quotes (one that has continually haunted me since 2016, when I watched it for the first time) is:

D: Stand still!

P: Stencil!

D: … I’m gonna hit you. [laughs] Shut up!

I quote this weirdly often in my fics. In fact, I’m pretty sure two of my recent published fics use it as a reference. I didn’t realise until now that I was partially misquoting it XD

I also can’t not mention, from Basically I’m Gay (the entire part from when Dan starts talking about Phil is linked, quote starts about twenty seconds later):

D: We are real best friends, companions through life, like actual soulmates […]

maybe he was trying to be ironic, but there’s something intensely poetic about his body language when he describes them as actual soulmates

I’m obsessed with it, but in like the way people don’t shut up about Pride and Prejudice, maybe, idk I’m just bisexual and hoping that I get half as lucky as the boys have

there are many more moments tbh I could say LMAO

Day 2 - Favourite Dan and Phil Series:

OUGHHHHH THIS ONE IS ACTUALLY REALLY DIFFICULT—

what is now called Season 1 of the Sims 4 and the Undertale playthrough are VERY close contenders, but I think my favourite series is actually the DITLs! (there’s no playlist for this one rip)

you can easily split them into two or three sections (depending on if you count any of The Making Of videos for TABINOF, the calendars, or the prep for II as DITLs), and each section has something wonderful to enjoy!

the ‘local’ DITLs (Manchester and London) are incredibly domestic, with the boys just going about a semi-typical day, and the Festive DITL honestly just turns that up to a hundred, I love the domestic ones so much

the ‘holiday’ ones too (Japan and Australia) are also super fun, because we get to see the boys doing silly touristy things like holding koalas or hanging around one of the busiest intersections in Tokyo (I also keep hearing conspiracies about the Australian one LMAO)

the ‘making of’ videos are their own unique source of slice-of-life entertainment, because They’re Getting Important Stuff Done but they’re making it entertaining for us too

my favourites are the original DITL and Festive DITL <3

Day 3 - Favourite Dan and/or Phil Outfit:

used @phanoutfitsblog’s screenshots for most of these, with the exception of Dan’s initial look in the baking video (also I’d be lying if I said that Sister Daniel wasn’t high up on this list hhhh)

can Phil stop being pretty for FIVE MINUTES JEEZ— it’s actually incredibly difficult to pin down favourite outfits for him bc he just. Keeps. On. WINNING.

his red shirt in the red carpet roasting video is probably the most iconic so far but it could really have been literally any other outfit he’s worn in the last several years

and Dan’s no slouch, either! this man is gorgeous and he ROCKS it! he wore this particular shirt (?) to an interview (or at least it was framed like one) and he looks INCREDIBLE in it but I can’t remember where I found the other screenshot so I won’t post it lmao

his initial appearance in the Halloween baking video before he changes into Sister Daniel is also equally pretty bc of the makeup and honestly? gimme your gender Howell

other honourable mentions include a recent magazine shoot that I’ve forgotten the name of (some phan I am LMAO, shame on me for only remembering the pink), and his dystopia motorcycle twink shirt from the red carpet video

Day 4 - Favourite Joint Content

oooh, difficult question, that’s like choosing a favourite child! still, the answer to this one is a lot simpler than Day 5 below, because it’s the original PINOF, as well as the photobooth challenge!

while PINOF wasn’t my initial introduction to the boys (that goes to the Sims 4), it’s one of the earliest things I watched of them, and almost certainly what got me to stick with them! (along with the Sims 4… LMAO)

Dan says he was being ironic when he said ‘this is the most fun I’ve ever had, and maybe it’s the tism kicking in, but he doesn’t sound sarcastic or ironic when he says that

it’s pretty clear from the get go that they’re two boys (boys in love, even) making a silly video, having absolutely zero idea that it’s going to change the world <3

the pb challenge, meanwhile, is just incredibly funny, I remember almost hurting myself from laughing so hard the first time I watched it XD it hasn’t aged perfectly, but that’s most things from ten years ago

the honourable mentions list is VERY long so I won’t put all of them here LMAO, but the Get Down video is one of them XD

Day 5- Favourite DanAndPhilGames video

oooh, another difficult question, here, because more often than not, the answer is yes! I could say the Halloween baking video one day, and the Katamari video the next, and one of the Sims 4 building videos because I’m a sucker for renovations (also, the GAY WEDDING and the RETURN in general!), and honestly there’s so many videos I’ve forgotten over the years (LOVE NIKKI!) but I think I’m gonna say the finale of Undertale!

it makes me cry every time I rewatch the series, and it’s such a beautiful story, and yeah I’m a mess just thinking about it, because the fact that they chose to be pacifists from the get go is one of the genuinely sweetest things I can think of

Day 6 - Favourite Solo Video(s)

oh no I don’t actually know how to fully answer for Dan, but at a guess… yeah who am I kidding, it’s BIG and We’re All Doomed! :D (yes I know WAD! isn’t a video (yet, hopefully) but it overrides literally everything else bc I loved that night so much)

BIG, as a queer person, is just honestly so incredibly important to me, because being able to listen to other queer people — very successful ones, too — and how they’ve struggled in ways I’ve been fortunate to have never suffered, and how they overcame it all, and are still dealing with it to this day? yeah I’m still so proud of Dan for it all, he deserves the life he’s made for himself <3

WAD is in a similar vein to this, but with the addition of me being able to actually MEET Dan and then watch him on STAGE as he did his comedy show! I made him laugh with a joke about Australian summer being hell, and that’s probably one of the best things that has ever happened to me <3

honourable mention goes to his Keep On Movin’ video, bc that’s just damn impressive

Phil, meanwhile… I have so many videos to choose from, and while Coming Out To You carries the same importance as BIG, if not more since I watch it more (I love them equally, but COTY is only eight minutes long okay), I am actually struggling to choose a favourite outside of it!

mostly because all my favourite Phil videos… are joint content videos!

that being said, his fourth ACNH video is incredibly sweet, and I think I might go rewatch the series!

also his house review videos (the apartment one and the expensive house one) are pretty iconic

AND the sleepless night series— can you see why I’m struggling? :’D

Day 7 - What do Dan and Phil mean to you?

(oh god I am so sorry for this monster)

I don’t remember 2016 being a particularly rough year for me, despite the many star-studded losses (rip Anton Yelchin especially), and maybe it would’ve been that way even if I hadn’t found Dan and Phil, but finding them at what could be considered their initial peak of fame was probably one of the best things that could have happened to me, because I was just a year into my experiences with internet fandom, and what better way to do that than get yeeted into the chaotic world of two British dorks on the net that everyone and their cat shipped?

I may have missed out on the radio shows, sure, and I missed out on pretty much every YouNow and Rize show and whatnot because I’m a goose, but I came into the fandom just in time to see TATINOF live, even though I couldn’t get a meet and greet ;w; one day I’ll catch Phil

I distinctly remember being at the Gold Coast Eisteddfod, which was an hour south of Brisbane, on the same night as TATINOF, and absolutely booking it back with my mum to Brisbane, stressing the entire way even as we got McDonalds and I got changed out of what was either my school uniform or my performance uniform (I can’t remember) into something more normal for a night at QPAC

and yet, once I was there, I had probably one of the best nights of my life, because TATINOF, in my opinion, is the best thing the boys have ever done on stages (II and WAD! are very close tho don’t get me wrong)

someone helped me draw cat whiskers on my face, I remember chatting happily to other phannies around me (what about, I have long forgotten), and I remember how loud it was, and how much I didn’t mind that, for the first time in my life

I bought more merch at II and WAD!, because I was either given more money or I actually had money to spend since I got my job by WAD!, but, even when disappointed by the fact that I couldn’t afford much, I have cherished my TATINOF lanyard since that fateful night in August 2015, because it symbolises just how much I love the two gay dorks who are now two of my biggest queer role models

the fact that they chose us over fame and fortune in the entertainment industry? I’m so grateful for that, because it means, even though we gave them utter hell (I wasn’t quite one of them, but I probably did a few minor demon things as a teen LMAO), they cared, and still care, about us, the audience

this is getting SO long and waffly, oh my GOD, this is why my current fic is eleven k long already, uhhhh tl;dr they’re weird and queer (affectionate), I’m weird and queer, and I am so glad I found them, because having them in my life is one of the best things that’s ever happened to me, down to graduating from high school and university and having their videos to watch <3

okay that’s enough sappiness this took me like three or four hours love y’all <3

thanks @dpgdaily for hosting!!!!

#the feral speaketh #dan and phil #phan #dnpaw #this took. an eternity of screenshotting and captioning XD #happy dnpaw!!!!

Drop your favorite dnp head cannons that you have no proof of other than the fact that you just really want it to be true

Phil proposed in Japan 2.0 on the day they went to the red gates. But they had some kind of life commitment before then and probably wont get any kind of traditionally married.

There have been detailed research plans to get a dog for as long as they have been working on the house.

They dont say I love you a lot and say and do other things that they understand mean the same thing.

(Honestly i think most intimate communication they do is probably in their stupid made up language and is about 7 inside jokes deep and you’d need the fucking golden compass to actually understand the truth of their relationship, are you happy dan.)

I think they both have artistic or personal hobbies/endeavors they don’t share on the internet or want to try and incorporate into their careers.

Phil has more sensory issues than just the cheese stuff.

Dan is incredibly protective and dotting over Phil’s health and it scares him when he’s unwell and thats why he was so yappy in the superglue video because he was defensive (and i definitely think Phil’s health stuff is worse than he lets on and i wish that wasn’t true).

Phil actually did his best and tried not to kill those houseplants (and Dan’s jabs are a defense over how much he missed Phil and not over the plants that he knew would be dead because he wanted Phil to be with friends and family)

They don’t actually spend that much time around each other during the day and utilize their own private offices or general house zones to be productive and to have a healthy relationship, and lockdown while moving and downsizing into the one smaller filming flat at the end before the house was complete did put a strain on their relationship.

Those rich bitches built a big nice shower in their place so they can actually shower together.

Dan loves being an uncle but he wont talk about it and we will rarely if ever see him with Freja.

#dnp #i have a fic about the first one that just needs written #that video of phil walking backwards under the gates #it changed my brain chemistry #basically that whole day he was in that striped sweater #ive never looked harder for ring proof in my life #also the sensory thing may be a projection lol cause same #cheese hating twinsies #dans straight up says he uses humor to cope and deflect #it became part of their relationship because of how necessary it was #hence how fucking weird they are #also cause dans commitment issues #i would die for my dnp and freja content pls cornelia feed me #love being included as you can see I have thoughts

@phandomgiftexchange for @samrubygf and beta'd by @philsbignaturals

Note: I have not made this a very disturbing fic but I did mention one in the story. I hope you enjoy!!!

Chapter 1: The Unspoken

Dan finally returns to the sanctuary of his and Phil's house.

The grandeur of his world comedy tour had come to a close, leaving Dan yearning for the companionship of that dearest person in his life to be next to him again. The two had recently embarked on a sojourn to the enchanting land of Japan, seeking solace and adventure amidst cherry blossoms and ancient traditions. But now they were back and the four walls stared Dan square in the face, he felt an old burden he could not shed. Beneath the surface of his and Phil's deep bond lay an unspoken desire, a forbidden fruit they had vowed never to taste again.

In the last couple of years, both of them had publicly declared their inclination towards the same gender. Dan had even confessed, amidst a whirlwind of courage, that his and Phil's connection - at the very beginning - had surpassed the realm of friendship. He didn't want to share any more than that and "people should really mind their own business", as he'd said to Phil. But it was more than just other people. Dan himself had not been quite ready to face his true feelings for Phil, always burying or running from them. And long, long ago, they had made a pact, a sacred oath in the depths of their hearts, to suppress any romantic aspirations, striving to maintain the purity of their bond and avoid the torment of potential strife.

Lost in thought, Dan found himself sitting cross-legged on the couch, his gaze fixed upon a gaudy golden pig statue that Phil cherished, though Dan hated it with a passion. The pig's eyes glimmered with an unsettling intensity, as if harboring secrets of its own.

"Phil, MATE," Dan only called Phil 'mate' when complaining, "what in the HELL possessed you to get this idiotically golden pig?"

Phil, his unique soundless laughter resonating silently as if orchestrated by a mischievous specter, stuck out his tongue sideways, adding an extra layer of absurdity to his amusement. He reveled in Dan's vexation, knowing full well the effect it had on his irascible friend.

"Get it away from me! It looks like it's plotting something," Dan only half-joked. Phil eventually obliged and took it into his bedroom.

Within the depths of Dan's black soul, he battled a tempest of emotions. Phil's radiant allure, which seemed to magnify with each passing day, violently stirred the feelings he'd always carried with him. How could he, a mere formless blob in comparison, deem himself worthy of such a perfect being? The anguish gnawed at Dan's heart, a relentless torment only exacerbated by his own self-perceived inadequacy. As Dan observed Phil's laughter, a pang of longing washed over him. Oh, how he yearned to hold Phil close, to feel the warmth of their connection transcend the boundaries they had carefully erected. But the pact, that dreaded agreement, cast its shadow over their path, weaving a tapestry of unfulfilled desires and bittersweet moments. Dan composed himself and masked his inner turmoil behind a facade of joviality, awaiting the twists and turns fate had in store. Little did he know that their resolve would soon be tested, for drama, like an unwelcome guest, had a knack for making its presence known, whether invited or not.

As the days turned into nights, and the nights into days, Dan found himself caught in a labyrinth of introspection. Each passing moment brought forth a kaleidoscope of emotions—admiration, adoration, and an undeniable ache that echoed deep within his soul. He so wished to express the depths of his affection, to break free from the chains of this self-imposed limitation. But fear, that insidious specter, whispered in Dan's ear, reminding him of the potential consequences. Would their friendship be forever marred by the fires of passion left unquenched? The question tormented him, the answer elusive.

Meanwhile, Phil, with his radiant crooked smile and sparkling blue-green eyes, remained unaware of the storm brewing within his best friend. Oblivious to the turmoil that swirled beneath the surface, he continued to be the anchor in Dan's stormy sea. His infectious laughter, like a buoy in treacherous waters, brought solace to Dan's troubled heart. But the torment of unfulfilled desires grew unbearable. Dan could not hide behind the mask of friendship for much longer. The unspoken longing in his heart demanded acknowledgement, the ache yearning to be eased.

Chapter 2: An Old Friend

In the depths of Phil's being, an adoration for Dan blossomed like a delicate flower, its petals unfurling in the garden of his heart. He marveled at the very sight of Dan, finding him to be such an ethereal presence illuminating his world. And yet, Phil understood the need to give Dan space - to explore his own identity and confront the demons of self-hate that still haunted him.

A few years Dan's senior, he wanted to allow Dan the freedom to navigate the world as an openly gay man. Yet, despite his best efforts, the flowery images of him and Dan standing at the altar of matrimony persisted, etching themselves into the deepest recesses of his mind. He longed not only to be proud of their shared truth, but also to proudly call Dan his husband.

In those early days, when hormones raged and passions surged, he and Dan were propelled into a brief and fiery romantic phase. But as the reality of their lives as YouTubers settled upon their shoulders, and they saw how well the two of them worked together in every aspect of their lives, they had made the difficult decision to shift their love to the realm of friendship. Only then they could trust that they would stay together forever... Nevertheless, their bond transcended labels and defied societal expectations - but had it truly been the best choice?

Amidst their playful banter about the damn golden pig, the pressing matters of the outside world momentarily faded away. The doorbell chimed, announcing the arrival of the pizza they had ordered, and the question of who would accept the delivery once again fell into their laps. With a grin that revealed a mischievous spark, Dan claimed victory, and Phil willingly acquiesced. It was in these small moments, mundane yet profound, that their bond solidified. Settled on the couch, engrossed in a show they had chosen to watch together, Phil's attention was not fully devoted to the screen. Instead, his gaze was irresistably drawn to the unruly mess of Dan's brown curls, a testament to his uniqueness and charm. In that simple sight, Phil found a source of comfort and wonder, a reminder of the immense love he held for his best friend.

Their tranquility was interrupted again by the persistent buzz of Phil's phone: a message from Cat, his long cherished friend. Dan made a silly sound and Phil responded in kind, as they often communicated in a language all their own, an intricate tapestry of noises and gestures and references only they knew, as they reacted to the news of Cat's apparent arrival in London. Tomorrow, a meeting with Cat awaited, a reunion that promised new adventures - they had to actually go outside for a start. Phil couldn't help but wonder what lay beyond the horizon. Would their friendship evolve once more? Could their connection withstand the weight of his unspoken desires, of the dreams that threatened to consume him? In the quiet hours of the night, as he drifted off to sleep, a yearning echoed in Phil's heart. The ache, too profound to be ignored, whispered of a future where his and Dan's love could bloom in all its resplendent glory. It was a feeling that he could not suppress much longer, a flame that burned brighter with each passing day.

As the dawn painted London's skyline with hues of gold and pink, it carried with it the promise of adventure. Dan and Phil prepared themselves for the long-awaited meeting with Cat, their spirits buzzing with anticipation. The prospect of reconnecting with an old friend intertwined with a subtle undercurrent of uncertainty, not knowing what secrets this reunion might hold. Their voices intertwined in a song of laughter and quality banter as they debated who would choose the perfect outfit for the day's rendezvous. Phil's gaze fell onto Dan, capturing the essence of his being in a single glance. The messy brown curls that Dan so self-consciously brushed aside were, in Phil's eyes, a crown of unruly majesty, an outward reflection of the beauty that resided within.

As they tepidly stepped out into the bustling streets of London, Phil couldn't help but wonder if this meeting held the power to reshape their lives once again. Would their old friend unknowingly become a catalyst, a messenger of fate delivering truths that lingered in the shadows? The thought both excited and terrified him. Amidst the vibrant chaos of tourist buses, cars and pedestrians, they navigated their way to the meeting spot, their steps echoing the cadence of their shared heartbeat. And there, beneath the sprawling branches of an ancient oak tree, stood Catrific, the familiar face graced with a knowing smile. Her presence, a bridge between their past and present, held the potential to shape their future. As they embraced, the years melted away, leaving behind a sense of belonging and familiarity. Conversations flowed effortlessly, punctuated by laughter and shared memories. The passage of time had not diminished the bond they once shared, and in the presence of this cherished friend, Phil felt the tendrils of possibility entwining with his hopes.

"So, oh my god, guys, remember when we first met? It feels like a lifetime ago!"

Dan felt like he had to affirm her friendliness the most. After all, her and Phil had been friends before he had come into the picture. "Oh, absolutely! Back when Phil couldn't shut up about Buffy. Good times."

Cat laughed in a slightly high pitch. "Yeah, that show... Anyway, I have to confess something. Back then, I kind of had a crush on you, Dan."

This shocked Dan. "Oh?! Really? That's incredible."

"Yeah, I know, it's so embarrassing now. I mean, you guys were in that... phase, and I had no clue. I was such a fool."

Phil chimed in. "Well, I can't blame you, Cat. He definitely has that effect on people."

Dan actually blushed. "Phil! Shut up!" Why had Phil said that? So confidently and with that low, sensual tone... Did Cat and all the memories of that time bring out Phil's old feelings for Dan?

Cat continued "no, but really, seeing you both together now, it's amazing. You guys have such an incredible connection, and I'm genuinely happy for you."

Phil smiled and Dan could not stop staring (as usual) at his incredibly distractingly beautiful friend. "Thank you, Cat. We're lucky to have you as a friend.

Dan quickly recomposed himself. "Yeah, we really are. And hey, it's all in the past now. We've come a long way since then, haven't we?"

Cat tipped her black sunglasses. "Definitely. And I'm grateful to be a part of your journey, even if my own crush was a bit misguided. I just want you both to be happy."

Phil put his hand on Cat's shoulder. "We are, Cat. We really are."

"And hey, if it makes you feel any better, I've had my fair share of awkward crushes too. We're all in this together," Dan said.

Cat smiled. She truly was a beautiful woman with her olive skin, dark brown eyes, and shiny dark hair. "I guess we're all a bit clumsy in matters of the heart. But hey, at least we can laugh about it now."

Dan laughed with her. "Absolutely! And there's no doubt that we'll continue to make painfully cringe memories to laugh at later on."

Phil, his pale skin only slightly protected by the shade of the oak tree, said, "speaking of crushes - you know I was always raving about Buffy? Turns out, it was just a thing for bad boy vampires all along."

Cat laughed. "Really, Phil? I never knew!"

The three reminisced some more about their past. The day wore on, carrying them through the city's winding streets, and as the sun dipped below the high London buildings, Phil's heart pulsed with a newfound clarity. The weight of unspoken truths pressed against his lips, begging for release. For in the presence of Dan, the one who held his heart captive, he could no longer deny the depths of his desires.

Chapter 3: Restless Nights

The moonlight cast an ethereal glow on Dan's bedroom as he tossed and turned, unable to find solace in the embrace of sleep. Thoughts of Phil invaded his mind, the way his eyes sparkled under the open sky, their hue deepening in the natural light.

Meanwhile, Phil lay wide awake, his mind consumed by thoughts of Dan. The image of Dan standing under that oak tree played on loop in his mind - the perfect place for an outdoor wedding. His heart ached at the thought. The house was enveloped in silence, broken only by the distant ticking of a clock. Phil's stomach growled, only adding to the pangs of hunger he felt for Dan. In a drowsy haze, he stumbled out of his bedroom, making his way to the kitchen. Vision blurred, he fumbled through the cabinets, searching for a box of cereal. Finally, his hand landed on a familiar shape, and he grabbed it, unaware that it was Dan's cereal. Pouring the flakes into a bowl, Phil was startled by a piercing scream that shattered the tranquility of the night. He squinted in the darkness, struggling to make out the figure before him.

"Thief!" Dan's accusatory voice rang out, his own cereal now gone.

Phil's eyes widened as he recognized the voice. "Dan? Where are you?" he asked, trying to peer through the darkness.

Dan's voice dripped with mock indignation. "Caught red-handed, Phil! Finally, my evidence against the notorious cereal fiend!"

Phil rubbed his eyes, frustration mixed with amusement. "D'you have to scream in the middle of the night, Dan? You've probably woken up the entire neighborhood."

Dan snorted, a mischievous glint in his eyes. "Consider it payback for all the times you've stolen my cereal."

Their laughter echoed through the quiet house, dispelling the restlessness that had plagued them. In that moment, they had found solace in each other's company, even amidst the absurdity of their late-night encounter.

Chapter 4: The ... Fic

The night lingered on as they sat side by side at the kitchen counter, the glow of their phones casting a soft light on their weary faces. Suddenly, Phil's phone buzzed once again, indicating another message from Cat, while Dan's phone rang persistently, an unwelcome interruption in the stillness of the night. Dan ignored the call, letting it ring until it eventually silenced. But curiosity piqued as Phil glanced at the message, only to be bombarded by a whole flurry of notifications. Puzzled, he opened the messages to find a series of frantic texts from their friends - Pj, Marzia, Louise - about a scandalous fan fiction or rather phan fiction, that had taken the internet by storm. It had become so notorious that even local news outlets were attempting to reach out to Dan and Phil, seeking their response. A sense of unease settled over them as they realized that the intimate details of their private relationship were being exploited for shock value. The invasion of their personal lives weighed heavily on their hearts, stirring up a mix of anger and frustration. The world had never ceased to find ways to pull them back into the spotlight, despite their semi-retirement from the internet. Reluctantly, they decided to read the controversial fan fiction, their curiosity getting the better of them. As they delved into the twisted narrative, they found themselves oscillating between amusement and disgust. While it certainly crossed boundaries, Dan couldn't help but admit that he had encountered worse. Ultimately, it was nothing more than a sensationalized piece, a mere blip on the radar of a slow news day.

"Phil, this whole debacle... It's really got me thinking, you know?

Phil nodded solemnly. "All these years, we've let others dictate our story. Why do we keep letting them?"

"Exactly! We've already come out to the world, and yet here we are, allowing gossip and the whims of social media to have a say in our lives. It's like we're trapped in this never-ending cycle."

Phil leaned in closer. "We shouldn't let them define us, Dan. We've built a connection that's so much deeper than what others see. Isn't it time we embrace it fully, unapologetically?"

Dan finally locked eyes with him, his heart racing. "You're right, Phil. We owe it to ourselves to live our lives on our own terms." As Phil moved even closer to him and he could feel the warmth of his body without them touching just yet, Dan smiled, a glimmer of hope in his otherwise jaded eyes. "Let the world say what it wants. We know the truth, and that's all that matters. From this moment forward, let's write our own story."

Phil slowly took Dan's hand in his. "No more compromises. We'll live authentically, and nothing will stand in our way."

As London sweltered under an unusually hot and dry morning, they found themselves in agreement. No words were exchanged, but their intentions were clear. The world may have had its opinions and expectations, but Dan and Phil were ready to forge their own path, one that embraced the truth of their love.

Chapter 5: Not that pig again

The sun bathed the room in a soft afternoon glow as they stirred awake, tangled in a mess of Phil's blankets. There was a sense of tranquility, an understanding that something had shifted.

Phil slipped out of bed and padded into the kitchen to prepare Dan's favorite coffee. As he returned, he couldn't help but stare at the slowly awakening figure he loved so deeply. Dan's tousled hair framed his face, and his peaceful expression spoke volumes. Phil's heart swelled with love as he marveled at the sight. But just as the serenity enveloped the room, something else, something insidious, reflected sunlight right onto Dan's face.

"Ugh, that pig again!" Dan groaned, his eyes squinting against the glare.

Phil chuckled silently, unfazed by the interruption. He settled down next to Dan. The warmth of the cup seeped through Dan's hands, but it was Phil's gaze that truly engulfed him. Time seemed to stand still. Phil's deep blue-green-yellow eyes, filled with unspoken affection, reached into the depths of Dan's soul. If he would drown in them then and there, he'd be perfectly happy.

"Good morning," Phil said, his warm, deep voice laced with tenderness.

"Gut morning," Dan replied in a silly voice. The wheels of fate had turned, setting in motion a journey filled with possibility. Dan and Phil's hearts beat in unison, daring to explore the depths of a love that had always been there, waiting patiently to be acknowledged once again. They reveled in their newfound freedom. And as they sat there, savoring their coffee and basking in the glow of their connection, Dan knew that this was just the beginning. Their love story, once confined to the shadows, was now ready to be written in bold, vibrant strokes.

soo, this is not the first time I'm getting into a fandom that's over a decade old (i seem to have a knack for it) and it's always so exciting, it almost makes me feel like an archaeologist or detective piecing together the history of an ancient civilization

well, okay, back on track:

after those initial videos i mostly watched their post 2019 joined content which turned out to be a great thing because a) there isn't that much of it, so it felt very approachable b) it helped immensely in getting to know their current selves (this probably sounds weird, what i mean is that they have changed over the course of the years (even beyond the obvious 'they are out and more true to themselves than ever before') and it was good to get to know the status quo before diving into the past) c) it's simply great entertainment

i then went on a Dan's Long Videos™️ spree, watched daily dystopia and phil's newer videos and finally gave into the urge to take a look at the tumblr fandom, which I'd been avoiding on purpose up until then because honestly, i was scared of what it would be like. i was quite pleasantly surprised at how chill is here (I won't lie though, there were a few things that almost activated my fight-or-flight reflex because they sounded a bit too similar to that fandom, but overall i have come to the conclusion that i do like it here).

anyways, at that point i would've felt pretty lost facing such a giant mountain of lore and videos if it wasn't for dan and phil and phannies being so goddamn nostalgic. just by hanging around here and watching their videos you get a pretty good idea of what is important, be it a rough timeline of what happened when and where or what the most iconic and best videos are.

i had so much fun going through the pinofs, the crafting channel, their more or less desastrous attempts at baking, the og google feud, random gaming channel vids from golf to the impossible quiz and i could go on, it is honestly addicting. it's also quite dangerous because there is always more to watch and i know that i have barely scratched the surface.

also, it's really interesting to go back to the first videos I've watched and to see how much my perspective and understanding of them has changed in that short amount of time

by now I've dialled down the binging a little bit and am just jumping from one recommendation to the next, but i do (possibly ignorantly) feel like i have the most important things covered and am now simply enjoying the ride.

if you have any personal favs you feel like i might not have seen yet, please do feel free to share them! :)

- a now very tired new phannie

anon you seem to have taken a pretty good approach. starting with the post-2019 joint content is definitely a lot easier than watching the mountain of joint content from before that. eventually you'll probably catch up on everything but in the meantime as long as you've got most of the important videos i think you'll be fine in the fandom.

i do think there's still some demon phannie tendencies here on tumblr (i include myself in that) but i think generally we do try to keep it respectful, and also we try to kind of keep it away from them and just have our demon discussions in our safe little pocket of the internet.

yeah you've truly come here at a great time in terms of nostalgia. i mean the roblox video alone is just pure nostalgia content and probably helped you get to know the lore of the iconic london apartment. and generally we're all just really sappy about them and their relationship so old vidoes and gifs are always circling around.

you just made me do a deep dive into all of their channels to remember what videos they even have and i think i have a good selection of recommendations in case you haven't watched them:

the photo booth challenge (dan's channel), and the wardrobe (phil's channel), both iconic fan favorites

all of the day in the life videos (manchester, london, festive, japan, australia), they're not big on vlogging so it's nice to get the occasional little slices of their domestic life

dan's internet support group series, not too big of a series but very dan

dan's diss track, also very iconic

giving the people what they want

all of the sims videos (it's a lot, i know, but it's great to watch if you're ever bored)

overcooked, they played it a couple times on live streams and there's just something about them without any editing that's very fun to watch

keep talking and nobody explodes

the top dan memes videos, great to catch up on some lore

there's a lot more probably but these are the ones i can think of right now.

there's also a lot of lore hidden in all the live things they did, which there is a lot of cause they each used to to weekly live streams, they had a weekly radio show, and then the lockdown stereo shows. i would recommend just looking up some compilations of those, they usually contain a lot of the important lore moments. the stereo shows are quite fun to listen to as podcasts, so i would recommend doing that. also because it's a lot more recent than their old live streams it's a lot more relevant.

anyway, another very long answer. if you have more things to say feel free to do so :)
