Dan and Phil as Houseki no kuni (Land of the Lustrous) characters.
@danielhowellas nuummite which represents intelligence and focus, dream walking and shielding and @amazingphilas aquamarine which represents imagination, balance, calmness and clarity.
I remember when I first subscribed to them back in 2009 I was like “Handsome bois. Immediate subscribe” but as the years have passed I’ve come to realize that they are more than these pretty guys that people like to ship together. I have grown to see them as heroes. Why? Well…
They have both been open about their struggles which inspired me to get help for my mental illness among other things.
They have their struggles. They are real human beings with valid feelings and they too can struggle with things (As they pointed out in their mukbang video)
So in conclusion. Dan and Phil are more than just pretty faces. They are heroes and I hope everyone else in the Phandom sees them as such and I was a fool for treating them as anything else but heroes. Dan and Phil are heroes and a major reason why I am even still alive to this day and why I decided to finally stop lying to myself and get help with my mental illness. Dan and Phil are the reasons I changed my mind about commiting suicide when I lost my mom back in 2012 at the ripe age of 17. Here is a comment I posted on both Dan’s Instagram and the mukbang video because I want them to see how much of an impact on my life they have had.
Dan I hope you know that if it weren’t for you and Phil I wouldn’t be here to type this comment saying how much you saved my life. I lost my mom back in 2012 and I was contemplating ending it all but then I started binge watching your videos and I changed my mind about ending my own life. If I had gotten to meet you in Stockholm for Interactive Introverts back in June (which is still to this day is a surreal experience to have seen you IRL) I would’ve told you this…. but thank you…. thank you so much for making me realize that life is worth living. Thank you for saving my life in every way. I guess in a way I have the courage to exist
So I will show this post to everyone who mocks me for admiring them and show them my reasons for my admiration.
Thank you Dan and Phil!
Thank you for inspiring so many people.
Thank you for existing
Thank you for everything you’ve done for people who’ve and still are struggling.
Decided to give my Dan and Phil plushies some accessories in form of my rings as bracelets!!! In hindsight they look like weird engagement rings. Oh well 😊
Quick draw for the recent Sims 4 instalment oh man oh yep this is my favourite soap opera. Dab is so awkward and adorable I love him and he’s not even real?
So I got a request to draw dan and phil like Star Wars characters and this is so heavily referenced but ya know I don’t care because I haven’t seen Star Wars I’m so sorry omg
people really find dan and fill attractive huh? like really? like not a joke?
wow its one of the guys from smosh and the emo who from horton hears a who
Who’s supposed to be who
yeah
If I may add. Many Dan and Phil fans don’t just like their looks. They also like the things they do!! Dan is an ambassador for a mental health organization and goes to schools to educate children about mental illness and how to help people with mental ilnesses.
Both Dan and Phil have raised money for cancer research.
I am sure they have done more than that I forgot to list but we don’t like Dan and Phil purely for their looks. We like them because they are fucking heroes. Our heroes and the world needs more people like them.
