Getting-to-know-you-game: JOIN OR DIE

[2old4thisshite]

Omg you gice are geniuses/genii lol

You've even got the site popping up with Google search! I've been in a state of anxiety trying to find you, then I found the messages omg it's been a stressful couple of days.

Anyway ... My secret life: heteronormative af, use my little sister as my D&P beard, not into any other YTers, loathe most celebrities and the culture that surrounds them, detest Kayne, have nothing in common with Daniel Howell but want to marry him anyway

I'm so boringly normal that I can't think of an exciting secret, except for my unhealthy obsession with D&P.

Hate avocado. Love you guys.

The site is a work of art. Proud of you! Don't mess with the Phandom, especially the middle aged nose/hand/belly button perverts.

Omg the emojies!!!

Just out of curiosity, what do you actually type on google? Haha

Yeah, I've messaged you but you never show up. Wondering if my PM have been intercept by people that should not be named. Lol.

unite. Haha.

Hi swofro! Sorry about not finding the messages until desperation drove me into a frenzy. I turned GG upside down searching for hints as to where you all were! I'm not good at using these forums; I can't thank, link or do any of the smart things. I can barely emoji

When the link for indepthbants vanished I thought I'd lost you forever. It wasn't coming up in a Google search but this morning, bam, there it was and here I am.

I have nothing of value to add to the discussion except for OMGILOVETHEMSOMUCH and THEY'RESTRAIGHT but I love reading everyone's views.

After my first comment I was feeling a bit down about how uninteresting I am. Then I remembered that I'm a troll who gets herself blocked from political sites then breaks back in and causes much wailing and gnashing of teeth ... so there's that, I guess

Hello Everyone!

Nice to meet you/be reintroduced to you! I'm having fun reading about everyone. I wish there were a thanks button on this website because there are too many interesting things to reply to here but I wanna show support!

A couple of facts about me that I would never tell anyone at a meet and greet/some normal facts
1) I never play videos games. I feel left out on the internet because of this
2) I obsessively read fanfiction about one of my favourite gay couples from one of my favourite book series. I have hundreds of fanfictions saved and many of them are smut. (Fingers crossed they actually canonically get together in the last book and this obsesion will stop)
3) I have no eyelashes in the corner of my eyes and patches in the middle because I used to have trichotillomania and they never grew back from all the damage I caused.
4) I do aerial dance that involves hanging from silks, trapeze and lyras and I recently started pole dancing


A couple of odd D&P facts about me
1) I used to be that kind of fan that had a picture of Dan as my phone background (actually he was my background for everything) which in itself is not a terrible thing but it characterises a time period in my life where I was a dan loving tumblr fangirl. I am not like that any more
2) I've never seen the valentines day video and I do not plan on ever seeing it. I think it will be too awkward
3) I've never read a full dan and phil fanfiction. It goes against my 'don't read fanfiction about real people' rule.
4) I still haven't read/brought the amazing book is not on fire. I've listened to most of the audiobook though.

Weird Phan admission:

-I am 5'5'' and regularly stare at tall men, comparing them to D&P height and how I would look standing with someone that tall. I do this *a lot*

I want to hear the back story and gossip behind like all of these points, please.

[caelian]

Hello!

- I'm weirdly nervous about introducing myself on an internet forum, so I'd like to apologize in advance for not replying to posts very often!
- I just had to google how to spell apologize, and english is my first langauge
- my username is one of the 7 hills of ancient rome
- I'm pretty sure I'm asexual
- but I've basically learned everything I know about sex and relationships from fanfiction, so idk.
- I think the first fanfiction I read was in the Maximum Ride fandom, and since then fanfiction in basically every fandom has replaced reading books for me
- I'm going to college for genetics right now, and I should probably be studying for my organic chemistry test instead of reading through pages of discussion here
- I don't know how to end this post?

[lionheart]

bit late to the party but guysss, thanks so much for creating this site gg is such a mess and I don't trust them with anything anymore so it's nice to have this little sanctuary to come to haha

kinda weird/boring facts about me:
- I'm a *tad* obsessive over video games for a gal in her twenties currently finishing her degree (even I don't wanna know how many hours I've put into certain games over the years ha)
- I can't do basic human things like ride a bike or swim (lol so tragic)
- lately I've developed the worst sleep schedule where I literally go to sleep when the sun's coming up (like a literal vampire)
- I've never had a boyfriend but I cba to even date rn (probs because I've watched too much Disney/read too much sentimental chick lit and have incredibly high expectations lol)
- recently my life dream's pretty much changed to becoming a youtuber and getting in on all that youtube goss (lol imagine)

Re: the internet famous thing.
I'd rather keep a level of anonymity, but I'll say that I was a popular alt model for a while, then years later got a bit of a following in the Myspace/Warped Tour scene due to my proximity to some people of note. There were some sponsorships, some autographs signed, some event hostings, but I was still moderately low-ranked on the scale of "cool on the internet". It was a weird time in my life. Fun, but weird.

[hamisnotonfire]

This is such a good idea and having come in 8 pages deep *phrasing* there were loads of things I wanted to comment on.

I'm going to turn 30 this year too and have just started to accept my bisexuality (lots of repression...thanks parents!)

I also married my high school sweetheart who thinks my youtube obsession is weird hence the lurking to find people who share my interests.

Lastly, Joining in on the socially awkward af and have a hard time maintaining friendships! Posting here was outside of my comfort zone but the environment is definitely alluring and inviting. I loved learning more about everyone and hope to continue more conversations!

[silentxmouse]

Hi everyone !

i only posted once before on the GG site and was intimidated because at the time the tides of friendliness were changing to quite aggressive so i backed off and lurked, but i am thrilled theres a new place with lovely people. ill start you with some weird facts about me

- when i was about 6/7 my sister hurriedly hid a VHS of hentai (is that what it is? the cartoon anime porn?) in a video case of my favourite disney film and i wasnt a great reader/wasnt particularly observational at the time so once i put it in the video player...yikes is all I can say
-my first exporse to erotic fanfiction was completely innocent and happened to be peter pan related. i was sifting through the internet trying to find a cute picture of jeremy sumpter (this was when the real life film had just come out), and I was about ten at the time. somehow i managed to find myself on a website where "Peter plunged Wendy's dark, deep hole and crowed about it to all the lost boys." Being only ten at the time i was very confused, and felt very nervous for Wendy
-I have social anxiety (being treated by a psychologist atm) and ironically, because of my social anxiety i have only had the courage to tell one friend and my mother that - (not even my partner knows, he just thinks im super super shy)

[silentxmouse]

- I can't do basic human things like ride a bike or swim (lol so tragic)

i also cant swim or ride a bike, its nice to finally meet someone else who wasnt once a lifeguard/ a star swimmer/ swimming for the olympics

[beachhouse]

~hello~

- lowkey bisexual
- pineapple on PIZZA IS DELICIOUS THANKS VERY MUCH
- gg was scary so i never posted but it had some good tea
- i can never get higher than 512 on 2048
- i listen to body rolls by leslie hall at least once a week

I can't swim either! It's really frustrating for my teachers at school but idgaf. my whole family can't swim, i've taken so many swim lessons but i still cant't do it! it doesn't help that i'm afraid of deep water

[ghost]

Hi all!
I've never posted on a forum before. I tend to just lurk a lot and empathetically nod my head and whisper yes at posts. Hence my name ~ghost. just floatin thru, seen by few.

Been watching D&P since 2012, but really casually (I only knew they were in japan until the ditl. i was so unaware! lol). Last year I was rewatching a video and read a comment about vday vid, googled it, found gg and now here I am.

Facts... Umm, I find it hard sharing my own thoughts and experiences? Just writing this out has been lowkey stressful. So sorry I've got no crazy stories! I'm pretty boring, I like video games n chocolate, money, peace, the usual stuff.

Where was the link for this board posted on gg / how did you all find it? I luckily saw it on oqua's tumblr. I would be lost without my daily d&p read. All the much more productive things I could be doing.. Oh well.
I hope the forum continues well bc everyone here seems v friendly and I love reading all your posts!
I previewed this way too many times looking for errors.

Yes, oh my God. I never thought of the day I will find someone like me. I used to want to be a pizza dilevry girl because that's a little bit of fun but I can't ride a bike, dammit.

I am scared of water, I am even scared of shallow pool, makes it impossible for me to learn to swim because you need to be in water to do that. In a camping activity, I once was forced (lol) to do that water bravery shit or whatever. I was 17 and I cried so much thinking I'm going to die even with the safety jacket.

But I also enjoy kayaking, but I will never enter a race competition because I'm scared if I go to fast I will fell (fall? Grammar) Lol.

Also, I am 158cm tall despite my passport says I am 160cm. (what is all this foot and inch you guys are talking about. I can't)

[timtam]

I have no eyelashes in the corner of my eyes and patches in the middle because I used to have trichotillomania and they never grew back from all the damage I caused.

Oh, I still struggle with this! Hoping mine continue to keep growing back.

I wish you all the best with your recovery, it's a difficult disorder! I'm extremely lucky that I had it as a child and simply just grew out of it. I still pulled occasionally during my teenage years and when I was 15 I did a lot of damage which is why I'm a bit patchy. I only tend to pull now when I'm extremely stressed and I've got better coping mechanisms now so it's not really a problem any more. But don't fret! Apparently eyelashes grow back quite well after damage. I've noticed a lot of improvement after a couple of years of not pulling so I'm hoping in a couple of years it will be mostly back to normal.

I'm really annoyed at my younger self for thinking pulling was a good idea though. I have such long eyelashes and if I didn't have the patches they would look amazing.

Hi everyone!

Thank you for the support and good work on your recovery! I definitely don't pull as much now as I did when I was younger but I didn't outgrow it either. I've kind of accepted though that I won't ever completely stop. I just manage it enough so it's not too noticeable and can hide the gaps with eyeliner.
I know that lashes grow in cycles- personally, I just don't think they do it fast enough.

sorry everyone for clogging the thread up with eyelash talk lol

[gray_walls]

Hello everyone! Here are some facts about me:
- was recently inspired by Dan to get a fringe. It looks pretty good i think
- also dropped out of uni last month. That was NOT inspired by Dan, i swear. It would be stupid on my part, guy had other things going on and "followed his dreams" which is not my case
- my first obsession must have been J-rock at the tender age of 15 (didn't have the internet prior to this age, that definitely was a good thing for me in retrospect). It probs have something to do with my fascination with men in dresses and make up. I suspect that originated from watching Some like it hot every other week when i was a child. Imagine how happy i was to discover RPDR this summer
Aaand some more fun stuff!
- 21 y. o. Never been in romantic relationships. Still dont have my sexuality properly figured out. The fact that there is not any queer community where i live does not help in this situation
- procrastination gonna be the death of me, so i can't even wholeheartedly scold dnp for their lack of commitment cuz i'm guilty of it myself. Actually, i am so much worse than they are tbh
- and last, but not least - never in my life tried avocado! I am going to buy it next time i see it and form an opinion

Hello!

Been lurking a lot (like--- a lot, I've read every single thread) over at GG. Sad to see it go, but I appreciate all y'all's stick it to the man-attitude.

Love the weird facts-theme! I've been thoroughly amused reading through all of the pages. Here goes.

- I'm Eurovision trash. Fucking love Eurovision, it's one of the few good things in this world. If you're sad, turn on some Ruslana - Wild Dances and you'll be a-ok.
- I literally don't know how to clean my apartment. I use baby wipes for everything. Dirty sink? Baby wipes. Dirty windows? Baby wipes. It's a hot tip.
- The peak of my internet life: I was Tumblr famous a few years ago in a different fandom but I got tired of the mentality after a while. Also, it took over my life so I gtfo'd. Good times, though. Got noticed by senpai so it was worth it in the end.
- One of my friends once admitted to using a whisk as a sex toy with his girlfriend, and I had to show him the nasty whisk video just to fuck him up. It backfired when he said, yeah, that's basically how it was. jfc.

Two years ago, I fell for Dan's relatable bullshit and I haven't been able to leave ever since. I can't really get my head around Phil as a person, so I kind of stay on the Dan-side of things. At the end of the day, I think I prefer them both as a duo rather than individual YT'ers, so it's all good.

Also major kudos for creating this place, you're all ace. And I wish I could quote every single post that I relate to in this thread. Hi, all you college drop outs and still-questioning-your-sexuality's. I see you. I feel you.
