Amanda, 31, she/her - Brazil. Been watching Dan and Phil since 2014 (will I ever leave idk), old in phandom years, I've seen it all. Writer of fanfiction (and now books!). Cat lover, opinionated mess. Come for the cute, stay for the long tags and mad ramblings
I follow/like from main: @amandaisnotwriting
Fic link for mobile: Ao3 and my new phanfic tag (I'll try to go back and add the older ones if I can find them all lol)
kind of poetic of dan to mark the end of we're all doomed, his big solo venture into the world trying to find himself, by hard launching his relationship with phil. they spent some time apart, did their own thing, and came back stronger than ever
dan and phil saw people on twitter saying that they're probably just best friends and not to speculate about their relationship and decided to put an end to that
does anyone else remember when dan posted on his story about A Brief Inquiry Into Online Relationships by the 1975 and how much he loved all the songs on the album or is it just me who is kept up every single night years later by the knowledge that he referred to these lyrics
As a casual 2009 observer of the YT scene at that time people were nuts about Phil before “Phan” the concept was a thing. I remember just horrendous formspring things/people trying to out him about who he’d hooked up with et cetera. I think because he was super private and polite. Really this could not have happened to a more chill and reasonable person because if it had happened to me I would have been institutionalized but he’s always handled it really good naturedly I think
phil is an enigma of patience and understanding. and also a bit of an attention whore which probably helps. it really is so fascinating though how popular he was, like he didn't have The Most subscribers but everyone seemed to think he was just THE coolest guy around. and they were right! and dan is truly shameless for seeing that and going yup he will be mine just watch
