point is haru was the bella in this ship war. and dan made it very clear which side of the war he stood on.

"makoto's character's so much deeper. there's- there's sadder angst there, y'know what i mean? cause makoto's like a quieter person, and it's not just- it's not just angriness and competitiveness, it's like- y'know, when haru was having his big existential crisis about not knowing what to do, should he go to college, should he just be a neet who stays at home, should he be a professional swimmer, makoto was the friend that cared about haru's future" <- aww you like that he's sweet to him you like that he was there for him when he was having an existential crisis about college you like that he's his best friend? fork found in fucking kitchen. i still remember watching this live and losing my goddamn mind. oh heres makoto and haru btw

and yes dnp did dress up as them in their anime cosplay video which was really legitimately sponsored by crunchyroll somehow. despite how scary it is. heres them being cute and then the horror of trying and failing to put contact lenses on dan bc makoto's eyes are green

(i do think its funny that like. obvs on an aesthetic level phil had to be haru and dan had to be makoto but on a projection level dan was projecting the other way round. and i do agree w him on that one)

awesome comment on the video also. like yeah. yeah sasa-brie..... how it fucking felt

they LOOOVED free back in the day there r many more instances of them talking abt it of course. but tldr. dan is GAY and SICK IN THE HEAD. here's a picture of him and rin (the other guy of the ship war) from japhan 2015. not bc it matters to the rest of this post but just cause hes cutes
