“Many people remarked on social media about how refreshing they found it that the chest piece of the armour wasn’t moulded like breasts, and that it was a functional piece of armour.”
When you spend 1 ½ hours reading Vicki’s book and realize that not only did she out Misha as bi, but she also outed the fact that he’s submissive and that she has fingered, rimmed, and pegged his ass before.
It’s amazing how Dan and Phil are doing this tour all for us. They’ve come so far, and they’re still thinking about us, about how to make us happy, and especially, how to get to know us more. In “FINAL TICKETS FOR OUR UK TOUR”, they told us to ‘bring’ a few things. New 7 Second Challenges that you’ve come up with, arts and crafts that you’ve made, weird childhood stories, and Internet Support Group problems. The issue with some of those things are, that someof you, don’t know when to not cross a line.
DO NOT make any challenges for Dan and Phil to kiss.
DO NOT have them answer questions about their private life, or relationship status’.
DO NOT force anything about the relationship ‘Phan’ onto them.
DO NOT show them any fanart that is sexualised, referring to the relationship of phan, or anything at all that is downright creepy.
DO NOT under any circumstances, even ask about ‘Phan’.
They are people, who have feelings, and that certain subject is very, very touchy. Don’t do anything that will ruin this for everyone else. People will be very upset, and no one wants that. Please don’t ruin this, Dan and Phil have worked very hard on it, and they want us to be happy.
People are justified in leaving the phandom after this video!! They are justified in not posting anything else dan&phil related after this video! They aren’t hating on dan&phil for posting this video and they aren’t being ‘childish’. Honestly, people not only reposted their work (which has been happening a lot), but dan&phil saw their work when they didn’t want them to! This phandom is toxic, espc if people get mad at others for leaving. Liking and participating in a fandom is a persons choice and something they do for fun. If they don’t find it fun anymore, they are allowed to stop without all this drama.
As any other community (because that’s what a fandom is) there’re rules and norms and you need to learn those rules first and follow them and not break them. Repost is illegal in our fandom community as much as stealing da Vinci paintings is illegal in real world. Artists leaving and deleting their blog, what they’re doing is called sanctions and they have a right to do so after the norms were violated. And please, if you don’t want to learn the rules of any community, don’t join it or rather follow the rules after following a blog.
I once tried to explain depression to someone as like if one day you gradually started to lose both your sense of taste and your ability to feel full. And you don’t know why, but now everything you eat tastes like mashed potatoes and nothing you eat is satisfying. You keep eating because you must eat to live, but the effort that it takes to prepare food is taxing and there is no pay off. You just know it will taste like mashed potatoes. You just know you will still be hungry. So you stop bothering with seasonings. Then you stop bothering to use ingredients you used to like. Then you start to wonder what the point of eating is because there is no payoff. You still feel hungry and you’re sick of the taste and you don’t know if you will ever enjoy food again and you don’t know why this is happening.
If someone comes up to you in this scenario and says, “Well have you tried spicing your food? Using different ingredients? Eating foods you used to love?” It isn’t necessarily helpful because the reason you stopped doing all that in the first place is that everything…tasted…like mashed…potatoes.
