i didn't start watching dnp until after tabinof came out, needless to say i was surprised when i decided to watch an older dan video and he started thrusting his pelvis at my screen
Omg yess im also finding out years later that the reason i related to him a lot was that neither of us was mentally healthy and aware of our issues. Makes a lot of sense tbh
REALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL To this day as a university student his videos about his university experience are too relatable and I have to remember it’s not normal to be that depressed about it 😭😭
I always start crying at that point because I had reached that point before and it’s way too hard to listen to it 😭😭 the poor thing must have been so scared
the one were dan is like yep talking to someone you know some random person and phil just goes oh what were we talking about that day? and dan has this brief 'busted' moment
@@august1224 When Phil was out of the room Dan said he was on the phone with someone (as if a random person) when the spider dropped on him and when Phil came in he said something that indicated he was on the phone with Dan when that happened. Basically Dan tried to make it seem like he was on the phone with someone other than Phil 😔 Then Phil ruined it, haha!
This makes me kind of glad there's no record of my pre-coming out conversations. Man, the shit I used to say. "I mean, nothing against lesbians, but like... ew, I could never kiss a girl, gross!" "I don't have a horse in this race, but I don't see why gay marriage shouldn't be legal. I mean, I don't care, I'm just an ally because I care about justice, you don't have to be gay to think that" "She's so pretty. What? I can say she's pretty, that doesn't mean I'm not straight, it's just objective" oof the cringe
honestly I was in denial for maybe a year after I figured out I was bi, because I already got bullied a lot for other shit and I didn't need them using that against me, but like...once I realized I was truly I was just like FUCK IT I'm here XD
The clip of Dan asking “what if I was gay” I think deserves to go in a compilation of clips that are mandatory for a new phannie to watch. We treated them so horribly for so long and people who are discovering them now need to be aware that this is the type of behaviour he’s talking about when he discusses parasocial relationships. This is why we need to respect their privacy and why we literally don’t deserve them
fan moment that aged like milk: me discovering dan and phil games before either of their main channels and not realising for several weeks that they not only were youtubers outside of that channel but had been for many years and were two of the most prominent ones
gay popipa mine is only knowing about Dan and Phil from people that shipped them so I thought that they were together,me watching them before they came out and thinking “oh,they’re just good friends” then watching Dan’s coming out video and realizing that I had it right the first time.
mine is watching a Dan and Phil video (probably dnpgames) and thinking they were annoying then like 6 months later I started watching them and became obsessed
gosh I remember that I only knew them through thier gaming channels and I thought they had a great dynamic (romantic or platonic) and I saw everyone in the comments shipping them and I thought to myself: I don't care what type of relationship they have going on in thier personal lives, they make eachother so happy and that's all that matters. and I've stuck to that ever sense, and even now.
I came into the phandom a little after I was diagnosed with Major depressive disorder and dysthymia (PDD) and I was sitting here the whole time like "...does Dan know he has depression...?"
Yeah I just assumed he did and knew it bc I'd grown up being very in tune with like, mental health knowledge and therapy and shit. I've been seeing a therapist since I was 11. So personally the videos that reveal his depression were actually what drew me to him? I was like "oh it's good to see people talking about depression like it's real. Look at him being vulnerable and talking about how going back to school put him in such a dark place!" I still struggle to be open about the details of the effects of depression and other mental illness on my life. It's easier to say the condition alone. I also used to just say anxiety and panic disorder (which I did have) because saying that I had depression felt like it told too much about me. I didn't want to seem like a downer or want people to expect my depression to go away at any point because I'd had it for long enough that I knew it wasn't that simple for me. I was so accustomed to it that it was refreshing seeing him talk about it in the way he did, even if he didn't use the words.
Me, being confused because pdd meant pervasive depressive disorder and not pervasive development disorder in this context. I mean, technically I suppose that pdd-nos, in which case nos stands for not otherwise specified, but I was confused. I'm like, that's an Autism spectrum diagnosis, and I kinda thought if he was diagnosed with it I'd have heard about it, because I'm autistic myself so I like hearing about other autistic people. I'm rambling, but I just thought my confusion was funny
I’m an older member of the phandom and grew up watching all of this. To me, these are all just dumb memories that make you shake your head and give a little laugh, and then be so proud and impressed of how far they’ve come since where they started ♥️
I'm since 2014, so I wasn't here for a lot of the truly "aged like milk" moments, but I was here for a long time before they truly got to be themselves.
Since around 2012, I literally grew up from 8 years to 16 with these two Internet almost parental like online figures. I joined just as the period of the 'How dare you im very straight' time began.
Maybe they would have come out sooner if the "fandom" didn't make them feel unsafe and tried to force them out of the closet. They had the right to stay private and the phans caused so much depression and fear in them that they had to hide for years. People, stop shipping real life people unless they are actually confirmed to be together and it's used to make them feel happy about their relationship. The amount of stress these two went through was enough to leave UA-cam completely. I almost wish that they had so they could have a less stressful time together.
yeah a lot of this stuff comes off as cornered and defensive, and it sucks that fans shipping them made them feel that way while they were still figuring out their sexualities. shipping real people is *wack* y’all
The thing is, it wasn't only the fans trying to force them out of the closet. It was also the harassment Dan's brother got. The amount of comments asking him about Dan and Phil's relationship, or the comments saying how his older brother was obviously better than him... The fans crossed a line that should've never been crossed. I was surprised Dan didn't quit at that moment. Now about the shipping real people... I have my opinion, but I will not express it because we don't seem to have the same opinion
As I grew older I realized how harmful it was to ship them. I learned my lesson with septiplier and I can’t believe they stayed on UA-cam adter all the bullshit they suffered through
@@wittydisaster my oh so loved Septiplier 😔 In my personal experience, I would refer to them as "Septiplier" because I was kinda lazy to keep saying "Jacksepticeye and Markiplier". And I "shipped" them as a bromance. Never assumed they were in a relationship, nor did I force the ship to the point of making them uncomfortable (like other people did) I hated seeing how obsessive fans destroyed a friendship.
yeah it’s really sad but most of the ppl shipping them around this time were 11-14 and didn’t really know what they were doing, also ppl weren’t talking about how it was harmful to ship irl people back in like 2013 so we kinda just didn’t know any better
@@rnckgo2410 yeah I really think that's what that was. Like people would be like "well you SAID THEY WERE STRAIGHT" like yeah and if she didn't she'd be outing them???
I love how every story we’ve heard of Dan saying “I was talking to my friend” and later on we hear the story again but Dan is more confident about his awkward personality and is like “I was talking to Phil, the one friend I have” 😂
p0k3m0n Mystic does anyone believe that? It was the fashion, and Dan was a tragic fashion victim. Consider his obsession with straightening his hair - when Harry Styles' curls were celebrated in 2010.
I started watching Dan and Phil in 2012, at the height of all the rumors and the drama...Idk how I survived. It's so crazy to think there are people who founds Dan and Phil AFTER they came out. Any fellow OGs remember all the Heart Eyes Howell and Love Eyes Lester videos people would make?
I started watching in 2011 I think? but I was never part of the fandom, which was strange. I was a huge fan & they were one of my main interests when I was 12-13 but I wasn’t allowed much access to social media, I didn’t even have a UA-cam channel ( i was allowed a gmail but not a channel which at the time meant I couldn’t comment but could still watch vids). I read some fanfics at one point but generally wasn’t involved in the fandom. I kept watching them & kept up with them but after I was 13 they stopped being my MAIN interest so I had no reason to join the fandom on social media. So I was actually really surprised the past few years finding out how much discourse and shit there was in the fandom, it’s wild . I always thought of it as a wholesome fandom, I had no idea
omg i was a fan when i was 6th-7th grade in 2016-2017/18 but god i used stay up late watching those videos and the pham edits and so many others. kinda miss that time. life was easier
I feel like everything that was just them being their weird cringe selves is fine because that’s honestly what was so fun about the phandom. It’s the moments where you could tell they were uncomfortable and sad and afraid of the truth getting out that are awful to watch
yeah lol theyre such sweet and entertaining people though. i would def recommend you watch more of their stuff, they love their viewers and put a lot of effort into their content
Looking back and realising you were apart of a fandom who most likely caused so much discomfort, pain and worry for YEARS is so shameful and I truly hope that Dan and Phil are healing and are happy. It just goes to show that we NEED to tell people (especially minors) that shipping real people is extremely damaging to friendships, relationships and mental health for the creator/whoever
But wasn't that like not originally Dan and Phil based? Like, wasn't it about 2 members of MCR? But yes, those cringe, horrible, disgusting fanfics should've never existed in the first place
dan saying "but what if i was gay, would it matter" is really sad and it hits hard every time cuz i can relate way too much, when i was still closeted this was something that would come up, almost regularly sadly
This just really makes me sad that they felt that they had to lie about a part of themselves and that clearly Dan didn't like himself very much. You can just see the depression on that poor man. I'm just so happy that he is getting the help he needs and I can't wait to read his new book to learn more about his journey and his recovery. I'm so freaking proud of both of them but especially of Dan. He is what inspired me to start worrying about my own mental health and depression. I will forever be grateful for him.
this is kinda sad on itself but it actually makes me kinda happy cause it highlights just how much they've grown and owned up their own skin throughout the years and you can clearly see they're in an astronomically better place than they were here 💜💜💜
We love and support the king of glow ups, such an inspiration that these things are actually where he came from, honestly You're in a better place now, Dan, you'll be okay~
I always thought Dan was SUpEr RelaTaBLe because of this ‘cringe attacks’ and existential crises and then I was diagnosed with C-PTSD and realised all the jokes were symptoms of trauma 😩
oh my god it is so weird to look back at dan's old videos now i'm the same age as he was. the insecure irony-poisoned vibes are too much to bear. "ironically painting my nails" oh my GOD
@@katsuma859 he's joking about hitting the egg in a reference to how chris brown hit rihanna when they were in a relationship, that case became very popular at the time and he was known for being a domestic abuser, and unfortunately there were ppl who found it funny (even though it isn't)
I remember relating so hard to Dan back in the day, the way he talked about fearing the future and intrusive thoughts and existential dread, it all hit really close, but I thought that was all just normal since I was an emo kid. Turns out years later I was severely depressed, diagnosed when I was 15 and so bad that I couldn’t get myself to draw, which is my biggest passion/comfort activity, which sounds small but it’s a huge deal to me. Not to mention being a closeted queer kid. Now I’ve been on antidepressants on and off for almost 5 years, I’m diagnosed with depression, anxiety, adhd, and ASD, and going back and seeing Dan’s old videos and how badly depressed he was and knowing how I felt around that time really hits hard. Im really happy he’s doing better and was able to get the support he needed to feel better after all these years.
everybody gangsta til you realise that a huge part of dan's core branding for literal years was just symptoms of undiagnosed depression
AHHHHHHHH!!! 😖
yeah....yikes.

how didn’t I notice he had it for years???
i never knew that it was NOT diagnosed until he made that video. =0

tasty 🤠
I wish this wasn’t a thing yet at the same time I miss them so much it’s a relief
i dont want to keep watching this but i cant click out
i love your profile pic!!
WDYM THE SEXY ENDSCREEN DANCE IS ICONIC
As a sexually confused straight male, I will forever appreciate Dan thrusting at me.
dan: i was talking on the phone to... somebody
phil: it was really funny from my perspective-
Dan: P A N I C S
he went from not painting his nails to sister daniel
LMFAOOO all the straight remarks and the end screen dance
I really hope the pinof clip where it's just Dan and it's pinof 80 smth isn't here because i will cry
The only actually yikes part (not like depressing yikes but yikes yikes) was Chris brown the egg
“Omg I PaInteD my NaIls But itS All IroNiCallY” Dan pls,,,,
He really said "you need a girlfriend" with all of his teeth, smh
I feel like everything that was just them being their weird cringe selves is fine because that’s honestly what was so fun about the phandom. It’s the moments where you could tell they were uncomfortable and sad and afraid of the truth getting out that are awful to watch
We are so deprived of content that we are beginning to embrace the cringe
oh god
heyyyyy ur an unus too???? that's sickkk
Pies i’m an unus just not using the thing haha
hello fellow unus
Oooh hai fellow unus’s!
Hey fellow Unus’s!
half of this is just genuinely heartbreaking
i didnt expect this to PHYSICALLY hurt as much as it did ahaha
the phone story is so funny to me when he goes 'i was on the phone to.. someone' and phils just like 'YEAH ME'
5:40 the MOST REPRESSED GAY THING EVER SAID
ikr i cant believe he actually said that LMAOO
chris brown that egg was,,, really 2012 huh
Ive never seen a dan and phil video and I dont think this was that place to start lmao
Start with Basically I'm Gay. That's what I did at least lol
You're in for a ride
yeah lol theyre such sweet and entertaining people though. i would def recommend you watch more of their stuff, they love their viewers and put a lot of effort into their content
I feel that oof xD
Looking back and realising you were apart of a fandom who most likely caused so much discomfort, pain and worry for YEARS is so shameful and I truly hope that Dan and Phil are healing and are happy. It just goes to show that we NEED to tell people (especially minors) that shipping real people is extremely damaging to friendships, relationships and mental health for the creator/whoever
Definitely I feel so shitty for it now but I had no idea when I was a kid
The fact that this was uploaded four hours ago and I only just got notified is quite frankly homophobic
I got notified like 7 hours later i am mad
10 hours for me rip
“Milk”
*milk Fic intensifies*
Nonononono
Down The Rabbit Hole LMAO
NO STOP!! Honestly, those jokes they made about that also didn’t age well...
:(
But wasn't that like not originally Dan and Phil based?
Like, wasn't it about 2 members of MCR?
But yes, those cringe, horrible, disgusting fanfics should've never existed in the first place
dan saying "but what if i was gay, would it matter" is really sad and it hits hard every time cuz i can relate way too much, when i was still closeted this was something that would come up, almost regularly sadly
“I was on the phone to someone”
“That was funny from my perspective”
Is one of those situations where Dan made it worse by trying to cover it up lol
opening this in the same room as my entire family without realizing that my headphones had disconnected was a mistake
F
“This is not how I talk to my...friend...”
oh geez
TIMMY DOESNT LIKE IT AND NOR DO I
This just really makes me sad that they felt that they had to lie about a part of themselves and that clearly Dan didn't like himself very much. You can just see the depression on that poor man. I'm just so happy that he is getting the help he needs and I can't wait to read his new book to learn more about his journey and his recovery. I'm so freaking proud of both of them but especially of Dan. He is what inspired me to start worrying about my own mental health and depression. I will forever be grateful for him.
Dan: i was talking. with a FRIEND.
Phil: it was really funny from my perspective
aight imma head out
I've been in the phandom for so many years and I've NEVER seen the 5:30 clip. That's truly heartbreaking, I'm so glad Dan is out and thriving now.
‘YOU NEED A GIRLFRIEND’ DANIEL YOU ARE HIS GIRLFRIEND, WAIT NO I MEAN BOYFRIEND I DONT KNOW WHAT IM ON ABOUT IM CONFUSED AF
They are really dating right
@@rainie2308 not really "dating" more like soulmates-for-life-who-will-grow-old-together
*aAaAaAaAaAaAaAhHhHhHhHhHhHhH*
@@lautaroroldanpizzorno7494 thats like me and my friend's relationship in a nutshell
@@lautaroroldanpizzorno7494 moirallegiance
when dan said "your skin is gonna taste good" my anxiety went 📈 and I had flashbacks to the b@ckpack fic,,,
NOOOOOOO god.... that and the chair fic were the worst two for me
@@julesd9784 jesus I didnt read the chair fic and it'll stay like that, I read too much already
.... well looks like I'll be on Wattpad tonight
@@DrCandyStriper no pls don't. Ok make sure u read the hat fic:")
Wait what... The backpack fic?
I don't think I ever read that one...
dude I still don't understand Cat's constant flirting??? like wtf was that? even at that time was cringy :/
this is kinda sad on itself but it actually makes me kinda happy cause it highlights just how much they've grown and owned up their own skin throughout the years and you can clearly see they're in an astronomically better place than they were here 💜💜💜
literally the second this was posted I could tell it would include "You need a girlfriend" that is so cursed
I’m so confused, I watched the video but never saw it and don’t remember it?
I rly feel like I’ll regret this but around what time was it😳
@@august1224 The second clip
We love and support the king of glow ups, such an inspiration that these things are actually where he came from, honestly
You're in a better place now, Dan, you'll be okay~
I feel like this isn't even the worst of the worst, i need a part 2 lol
i feel violated af watching the sexy end screen dance
I'VE NEVER SEEN THE YOU NEED A GIRLFRIEND THING AND I AM WHEEZING
i am already uncomfortable
I always thought Dan was SUpEr RelaTaBLe because of this ‘cringe attacks’ and existential crises and then I was diagnosed with C-PTSD and realised all the jokes were symptoms of trauma 😩
I hope Dan wears his "cold beer, hot women" tshirt, once again, just for laughs
oh no in the first 10 seconds i can already see it
7:02 THIS IS THE FUNNIEST DAN SCREAM YOU CANT TELL ME OTHETWISE
but i love the droping out of university video, i rewatch it at least every few month............ except phils laugh is haunted as hell
"Pikachu doesn't understand my pain" woah, that's pretty deep
oh my god it is so weird to look back at dan's old videos now i'm the same age as he was. the insecure irony-poisoned vibes are too much to bear. "ironically painting my nails" oh my GOD
phil with the torches will ALWAYS make me giggle🤣
God I miss being 13 and my only concern being these adult men- having ur own adult issues blows- miss you phandom its been so long 🥺
2015 was that Phan year for me ... Ah to be 16 and closeted and unhappy
FR I really miss that
pommeideas my phannie phase was in 2014-2015, but i was in middle school. what a time to be alive.
i'm surprised no one has tried to "cancel" dan for that chris brown joke... thankfully he has evolved but oh man....
Cancel Culture is ridiculous
@@AshaSara agreed
can someone explain the chris brown joke to me lmao
@@katsuma859 he's joking about hitting the egg in a reference to how chris brown hit rihanna when they were in a relationship, that case became very popular at the time and he was known for being a domestic abuser, and unfortunately there were ppl who found it funny (even though it isn't)
File Code #1459 OH MY GOD yeah that’s a BIG yikes thanks for filling me in though
“80% busy” and then sticks around 💞
I remember relating so hard to Dan back in the day, the way he talked about fearing the future and intrusive thoughts and existential dread, it all hit really close, but I thought that was all just normal since I was an emo kid. Turns out years later I was severely depressed, diagnosed when I was 15 and so bad that I couldn’t get myself to draw, which is my biggest passion/comfort activity, which sounds small but it’s a huge deal to me. Not to mention being a closeted queer kid. Now I’ve been on antidepressants on and off for almost 5 years, I’m diagnosed with depression, anxiety, adhd, and ASD, and going back and seeing Dan’s old videos and how badly depressed he was and knowing how I felt around that time really hits hard. Im really happy he’s doing better and was able to get the support he needed to feel better after all these years.
“what if i was gay? why would that matter..”
ouch
Their must be something wrong with me cuz I see nothing really wr- ... ooh never mind his talking about his sexuality 😂😂
5:30 makes me wanna cry
Half of this is heartbreaking and the other half just makes me wanna binge every single videon
omg my serotonin when i saw that you uploaded went 📈📈📈
This sounds like a big bag of yikes
this is so generally heart breaking, im so proud of dan now
"your skin's gonna taste good"
*War flashbacks*
Who even thought the end screen dance was actually sexy and not just very funny?
Cats making biscuits to soft acoustic music is the polar opposite of the sexy endscreen dance
