Sometimes I remind myself that both Dan and Phil will get more mature and leave YouTube. They wonβt be attending SiTC or Playlist Live anymore. Their jobs are as radio show hosts. Theyβll find a girl who they think is best for them and get married, move into separate houses, have a family and be happy. I just hope theyβll think of YouTube and who they were, AmazingPhil and danisnotonfire before they take their last breath.
thinking of this queen today </3
obsessed with this post because while op (most likely a teenager back then) forced themselves to think of this future scenario as a βhappyβ one, the entire thing is entrenched with a devastating wistfulness. thatβs how many teenagers think of adulthood: growing out of your youthful interests, settling into conformist ideals and models of life. but it really doesnβt have to be like this. dan and phil have changed from the people they were in 2013 - thatβs what just happens to people - but also they havenβt. i mean obviously thereβs the fact that they were a couple the entire time, but even beside that, theyβre still the same nerdy guys. they didnβt turn into different people altogether.
thatβs what happens to everyone - we grow up and change but adulthood does not mean leaving everything we were passionate about behind. and we turn up gayer than expected.
