i never thought we would have to be dodging tabloid sensationalism and (probably?) stolen media as dan and phil fans like. where are we 😭

it definitely hits different

if dan and phil dress as cat and bear for halloween i’ll be going as the fucking joker

DAN AND PHIL YOU ARE SO LOVED 😭❤️

all those years of tiptoeing around definitions, dressing their closeness in metaphors and half truths so the world might understand without ever really knowing and in the end it all finally boiled down to “just two partners” 🥲 they’ve earned this

imagine how this must feel for them 😭

nobody deserves this more than them 😭💕

all the age old conspiracies aside, just hearing dan and phil refer to each other as their boyfriend was so fawking alien to me i kept looking over my shoulder like? so we’re really in the good place... and we’re meant to be… they made it… and we made it… wow

i was holding so much space for the end of the video where they ask “if you’ll have us, we’d love to just finally be ourselves and do what we love” and phil’s “yay we did it” i didn’t even notice them telling us to come back next week for more like wow it’s real and happening !!

my safe space 🫶

can’t stop thinking about dan and phil getting to be open and free, experiencing new types of joy and excitement a full 16 years into a relationship that any other couple in their circumstances would have tapped out of a long time ago. they deserve all the happiness in the world

“i’m just gonna sit back and enjoy the engagement” and 50k people subscribing overnight i’m pouring one out for capita£ester

why is the tabloid media obsessed with that one red carpet photo of dan and phil from nine years ago. haven’t they been through enough

his danisnotonfire really came out here

love the implication that dan is terrified of commitment so a commited relationship is not his thing but phil is just So great he couldn’t help himself

i’m sorry i hope i’m expressing this in a way that isn’t parasocial as hell but they will never not be my romantic ideal and the fact that they’re flawed humans and have still built something so beautiful and sweet together only makes me feel stronger about that

us thinking we were so funny for saying they’d never touch “heart eyes howell / love eyes lester” with a 10ft barge pole because they’d never be able to fight back vs them openly mocking us for it in the “phan was real the whole time” video. okay you win i guess

“Sometimes when I looked at Phil I felt the gaze of these [invasive] people in my head” that was the most heartbreaking to hear and I can’t imagine how hard it was to have those thoughts associated with your partner. I am so glad they are in a better place now

i am happy so many new people are finding dan and phil in this era of reintroducing themselves and moving forwards being in control of their own narrative with all these boundaries in place but please keep us ancient phannies in your thoughts our house got broken into last night

bye
