i love being a filthy transsexual dyke i love being butch i love seeing people upturn their noses when i walk out the door with my shirt unbuttoned a bit i love watching people double-take at me i love seeing a queer couple see me and hold hands i love seeing the discomfort on peoples faces when they see me and cant figure out just what i am i love it i love it so much
it makes me really happy when dan and phil are proud of "dan and phil" traditions.
a lot of people unfamiliar with the fandom (outside of dan's coming out story) like to claim that fans ruined everything for them by forcing them to do stuff together and create this brand.
that's just not true. creepy people did stalk them and try to speculate about their personal life with "proof". but dan and phil fully embraced their joint brand and made things they were proud of totally in parallel to that drama. no one forced them to make a gaming channel or go on tour together. they liked working with each other!!!
this false narrative that all dan and phil content was fabricated out of some awful "fandom has them at gunpoint" situation is so (1) sad and mean because it disregards the quality of their content, writing it off as forced and inauthentic and (2) totally disconnected from what they've said; they love working together as much as their audience loves the vibes!
My favourite thing about coming back to spn and Destiel after 6 years is to see the fandom is still alive and thriving (we’re all still depressed), still sharing memes and gifs (still not over DeanCas), still writing fics (not accepting the finale).
did u remember to tag your posts #phan for the fandometrics? if not, pls do it so we can show the whole world how love, creativity, parasocial relationships, and rpf can truly make a difference <3
genuinely nothing makes me happier than when people slide into my dms with an unsolicited fic rec 🫶🏽
like yes, catch me off guard. oh you know i love fluff n smut so you sent me some? i adore you.
if i planned on reproducing i’d give you my first born but kids are the devils spawn so instead i’ll send you a few fic recs back and we can be friends forever
