the way dan gets jealous I doubt they ever seriously considered it (phil also said he doesn't like hook ups)
“When your soulmate comes into your life before you’re done being a ho“ is truly the most accurate explanation of Dan ever. Like that man was born to be a slut but accidentally met his soulmate and the love of his life at 18 and unfortunately he loves him so much that he couldn’t even entertain the idea of having sex with another man. Dan is such a slut in theory and he really wants to pretend that he’s a slut but in reality he’s been in a boring old monogamous relationship for 15 years.
Like Phil was lucky cause he got to have his uni years, he had 4 whole years of adulthood before he met Dan so he was absolutely ready to meet his soulmate by the time Dan came into his life.
I feel like Dan just wanted to shoot his shot with Phil but never thought it would amount to any kind of relationship but then he girlbossed too close to the sun and now they own a house and Phil does his taxes
dan during these silly card games is so funny to me he’s just like yeah phil you win this one. you are so funny and perfect and your eyes twinkle when you laugh. you win again omg that answer was so funny. take another card. i love you
dan could never
im sorry this is all im gonna be talking about for weeks
I've never seen this perspective before and God it's perfect 😭
Sir there’s a whole audience in front of you who paid to be there and you’re looking at your man, pathetic behavior
sorry i'm losing it at phil interrupting dan to remind him what sushi he wanted and dan being like Yes I Know Phil, before they even knew the waitress was a fan like god they really are That Couple aren't they. they're just like that always. awesome

If anyone even cares there is a domino effect from Dan and Phil existing on the internet -> Alice Oseman watching and creating their own “we would find each other in every universe” epic gay love story -> Heartstopper blowing up and creating a more accepting and inclusive environment for queer British teenagers -> Dan and Phil complaining today about how it’s hard to even watch Heartstopper because it makes them long for a youth they never got to have.
Do they even realize their influence is part of why teens these days get to have that life? Terrible influence my ass, they changed the world.
2 minutes of dan losing the dgaf war
so fucking emotional at dan howell being named a top 10 influential lgbt+ figure. i can’t stop thinking about how much he went through with the bullying and the self hatred and the years where hoards of people felt entitled to his sexuality and harassed him over it before he could properly put a name to it.
thinking about how dan said when he finally realised and accepted that he’s gay, he spent 2 hours sobbing on a balcony and drinking an entire bottle of rosé. thinking about how dan said he wanted to cancel interactive introverts because he knew he’s gay and felt like he needed time away from everything to process. thinking about the dan howell who went on tour anyway despite this gnawing at him. thinking about how dan took a year off to collect himself and then posted a 45 minute video detailing his journey and struggles with sexuality, self acceptance, outside pressures, and invasive strangers in detail because he owed that to his past self and present self. thinking about 2019 dan saying he wasn’t confident in his sexuality and couldn’t say he was proudly gay. thinking about dan going to london pride that year anyway and walking around with the gay flag and his silly shirt, beaming and radiant like we’ve never seen before.
thinking about the dan howell who wrote a best selling book all about his relationship with mental illness and how his queerness deeply impacted that because he thought that people could use it if needed. thinking about the dan howell who decided to perform a two hour stage show where he made loads of dirty jokes about his gayness to thousands. thinking about the dan howell who wears whatever he wants and posts whatever he wants without having to worry that the internet is going to pick apart every bit of him to see if he’s queer.
thinking about the dan howell now who came back to the gaming channel and now mentions his sexuality in almost every video posted. thinking about the dan howell now who is going on tour where the point is he and phil are gay as fuck and they don’t care anymore and honestly just wanna let their hair down and have fun with their dedicated audience. thinking about the dan howell now who poses with pride flags at m&g as a member of the community, not just an ally. the dan howell who is selling merch stating “dan and phil made me gay” because it’s really funny and he recognises that his audience is mostly queer and feels a sense of community with them. the dan howell who no longer shies away from the existence of phan bc it’s lowkey funny to him. the dan howell of 2024 who was voted in the top 10 influential lgbt+ figures. the dan howell now who is proud of that as a gay person who went through so much shit and came out the other side. no matter how bad it got, it still got better. it took time, but he got there (,:
