when Phil face paints Dan during the chart show. Right after he accidentally gasps when Phil touches his neck... Then is so awkward and keeps fake gasping to cover the first one. That little red splotch just happens to appear.

I know! Even if he was reacting to the cold of the paint on his neck or something I'm still

re: fanfiction live
Dan and Phil are Youtubers predominantly known for making people laugh. They are almost comedians. It's not surprising then that when they reenact fanfiction in their show it is made to be funny. Yes they are mocking it slightly, but they also mock themselves. They mock almost everything about themselves in the show, even their personas through overacting. So it's not an attack on fanfiction, it's just light-hearted poking fun at everything to do with Dan and Phil.
I think they wrote dan as reluctant because it's funny, because it produces bants. Jokes come at some expense, there has to be an object of pain for a joke to work. In this case the 'pain' is dan's 'pain' at being controlled and made to do homoerotic things with Phil.
Damn, read that sentence - even the concept sounds like some kind of kinky phanfic - it can only be the brainchild of Dan Howell.
But
coffeepenguin I would like to say that I genuinely found your posts really interesting and I think you raised some great points I just happen to disagree with you on this one
re: shipping phan/what if Dan and Phil broke up or weren't together
I think
swofro raised an interesting dichotomy of knowing and believing.
I believe Dan and Phil are together, because it's the simplest explanation when you look at the whole picture as plot points and join them up, but I don't
know it. I believe it, but my belief could be wrong.
I initially believed Dan when he implied he was straight and said phan isn't real etc, but it was like as time went on there were just more and more holes in that story until it reached the point where the story didn't make sense. I then came to the belief that they are together.
I ship it because it's what Dan wants, what makes him happy and what he has chosen for himself.
If he chose someone else, another person other than Phil, I would be happy as long as he was happy - and I would ship them. I mean unless he or she or they was, you know, really
boring. In which case I would still stan Dan, just smh at his life choices.
I think if Dan and Phil broke up I'd be upset
for Dan, because I ultimately just want him to be happy. But if it was what's best for them I'd get over it (pretty quickly). This is another reason I try not to be disappointed/unhappy with him about lying to stay in the closet with Phil - because if it's what he's decided is best for him, if it's what he's decided will make him happiest out of his available options, what right do I have to criticize him for it?
