sometimes i just think of dan and phil living their shitty late teens/early 20s years where they didn’t have any money and they kind of had the worst parts of being prominent online (no privacy, invasive fans, judgement, homophobic slurs thrown at them constantly) but didn’t yet have the money that would later come from it and how many nights they must have spent in that first manchester apartment with the bed pushed into the corner of the room and barely any furniture and how us-against-the-world they must have felt then, in a different way than they do now, and how it’s reality for a lot of people that those growing pains years just kinda suck but dan and phil got to do through the sucky broke struggling what is the future even gonna be scary years together and idk man just fuck i love them

“Be the kind of person who isn’t afraid to ask someone if they are okay twice if they say they are, but look like they aren’t. Be the kind of person who smiles at people even if they don’t smile back. Be the kind of person you wished for when no one was there for you.”
— Nikita Gill (Be That Kind of Person)
being in your youth can be so agonizing like the world is burning and the US is doing god knows what and one million other terrible things are happening and you’re so overworked and exhausted that all you can do is buy your groceries with reusable bags and skim headlines knowing vaguely that they’re prophecies of terror and feel ashamed you don’t know more than you do but your mental health is already so bad you just have to take your 10 minutes off to try to scrape together some meaning and peace as it all starts to crumble around you and yet here in your home on your laptop you still have deadlines and the streets outside are quiet and you can’t breathe
The thing about being LGBT+ is, at some point in your childhood, no matter how accepting your parents are, at some point, you have to question: “do they love me unconditionally?” And then you have to plan for the possibility hat the answer is no. And that fucks you up. Straight cis people never have to question that.
