LAST DISCO

but it’s teenagers we’re talking about here. so the chain of logic goes, if they’re not together—which of course they aren’t this is all just for fun guys you don’t really believe they’re gay, do you, the vday video was a prank—then they’re probably not gay, and are in fact straight, and will end up with women and kids and a dog and a white picket fence like oh so many unfortunate YA protagonists in epilogues (the primary books fans had read atp, lbr)

so there was a whole cottage industry built around this emotional tension of fans caring so, so much about dan and phil now (back then), but “knowing” that it could never last because eventually they would move on to have the traditional signifiers of a happy life. youtube was seen as childish, no one knew if it was even possible for it to be sustainable for more than one, two, five years; dan and phil were of course straight so they would want to settle down with susan from the shop, and all the fun the teenagers were having was given an ambiguous, dramatic end point.

Bro it's like Dan steps foot in AUS and some kind of magic happens. There's something in the water there I swear!

2016: Australia was the first time he wore nail polish (someone gave him a bottle at the airport and he just???decided on a whim???now was the time???after it was a long running meme of people asking him to wear it??? Like control freak Dan really made an fun impulsive decision). That same day he didn't straighten his hair before the meet and greet for the first time, which was a HUGE deal...like groundbreaking truly

2017: #freetheknee Dan breaks the internet by wearing ripped jeans for the first time. This actually made it into his 2017 top Dan memes video as it was...a big day. This is also when he did the clear glitter nail polish out of nowhere and posted a v soft selfie

2018: Thirst trap Dan lives!!! Shirtless poolside selfie fully feeling himself! Bestie is living his BEST life and we support it. Also..I just....them....loud...so very loud. Family holiday with M&C. So many pictures. Like truly they just stopped giving a fuck and we are all found dead. Like????the picture of Phil he posted with zero captions or memes or stickers just like...it's too much.

wdym a joke do they look gay and in love to you?

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
