i can鈥檛 get over how happy and comfortable and radiant they are ever since they revived the gaming channel . it鈥檚 like their hearts bloomed open
it makes me sooo emotional
there was a point in time that i figured we'd never see dan in a regular casual setting again, let alone regular joint content. so getting to see both of them together, in and of itself, is lovely. and then there's the added factor that they have been glowing since the revival! genuinely radiating sunshine, the both of them. you can tell they've very much settled into themselves in the 5 years since regular dapg. there's a quiet confidence in their interactions--an ease of sorts, of being more of themselves on camera. they make those jokes and freely laugh at them. they laugh at each other's jokes without worry or stress or care. they look at each other! like we joked about heart eyes howell before and it's partially because it was rare. and now it happens every video! and phil's less shy about it too! there's less looks to the camera like 'oh shit. ahah. uhm. bazinga' and more 'this guy 馃檮馃挒馃檲'
they're also doing more things that they like and want to specifically do. going back now, and even at the time, you can see some of the fatigue setting in on dapg right before the hiatus. a lot of 'just get through it'. vs now it's 'dan can we play a litte longer 馃ズ' and 'we wanted to do the whole game as a huge video' and 'im really enjoying being back'. they're glowing because they're having fun--not only with the games but with each other, and with us! the phan twitter 2 video they are beaming with joy. full-body laughter. playing into bits to make each other laugh. it was palpable.
they're so high on life rn it's insane. 15 years and yet, they might be in the best of them
do not forget the patron saint of these weeks that we celebrate ourselves proudly and openly in the streets
her name was Marsha P Johnson, and we have her to thank for so much.
remember, the first Pride was a riot, and she was one of the brave souls who endured it to help carve the path which so many of us walk today. she helped found several activist groups regarding LGBT safety and wellbeing. and she was absolutely radiant, too.
i was watching the dystopia daily episode with dan鈥檚 grandma and is it actually true that she was interacting with fans on twitter? lmao
she was! especially one person who kept @'ing her and then there was drama about it cause people said this person was harassing her and she was like um no we've been having perfectly lovely conversations. i miss her tweets she is so cute
but my personal favourite part of veronica's twitter era is the amount of tweets to and about phil. like that's unbearably precious actually. being an amazingphil fan is in their genes i think
there's more but these are my favourites <3 especially when she doesn't even @ him. adorable
lmao idk what possessed me to draw this (blonde phil and sister daniel) but i'll finish it for the sake of art and expressing my gender envy of both of them </3
