"My Pride is you, and only you"

જ⁀➴ ♡

Omg i've been so busy i'm late to the party but Happy Pride Month to all my fellow queers! Have a Phangif as a gift .∆

I'm currently working on my upcoming animated show (?) so I can't wait to be active again (i miss drawing dnp lol)

anon i don't think we could ever properly explain just how common it was. like how do you even do it justice

youtubers trying to get dnp in the background of their vlogs (if not just shoving a camera in their face without asking) was a sport. because it was guaranteed views!!! because part of vidcon/playlist as a fan was to watch every single daily vlog from every single creator to see your fav for 0.5 seconds but if something dramatic happened then that's a massive spike in views/money for the creator. youtubers knew that having dnp in their thumbnail was like printing money

the majority of it was using dnp for clickbait on videos. fucking SHANE DAWNSON hiring psychics for a video to ask if they were secretly gay, making a conspiracy video using phan proof/their formsprings, talking shit about them with emma blackery. let's not forget evan edinger publicly tweeting that every youtuber had seen the vday video!!!!!

i think what's more shocking (in a good way) to me is seeing all the younger people being surprised by it? because obviously as someone in my 30s i grew up in the same time with that same rhetoric and i genuinely forget that people who are now in their 20s had a WILDLY different experience to us and did have a base level of queer acceptance that did not exist in the 90s/2000s

Summary: After hard launching, Dan and Phil finally find time for a holiday and they are pleasantly surprised when their hotel bed nicely decorated, clearly for a couple. Dan thinks back on how different things were a decade ago during TATINOF, when young Dan and Phil would book a room with separate beds, only to push them together because they didn't want to sleep alone.

A/N: Happy pride month! I was not the only one feeling sappy about the new bed sharing lore from TATINOF. Of course, they pushed their separate beds together. I love them so much. This is my usual style of sappy fluff.
