so things I wouldn't normally tell about myself, ok...
- I am autistic, so 75% of time it's very hard for my to be in this phandom, cause ppl are highly sarcastic, which can be extremely hurtful cause I take written comments many times literally. (to be honest I regard sarcasm the worst human trait, which is funny for someone who got here watching Dan videos...) And also in contrast to other fandoms phandom is very picky in their speech and eloquent which makes me very uncomfortable to express myself (because it is a myth that autistic ppl are highly intelligent). But I really want to be parts of something I enjoy, but yeah, sometimes I wonder that maybe I should just shut up and only read things without participating
- I'm lesbian and demisexual
- Slytherin

hi there! just wanted to say good for you for doing you. you're input is definitely appreciated even if its not articulated in the same way. one thing I like about this community is how much diversity we have, including people who find communicating in written english difficult, be it b/c they didn't grow up with the language or are like yourself.

I'm another INFP, Gryffindor, and concur with how interesting it is that the majority of this fandom seems to be not-straight. Also I'm glad to see other people who don't like avocados exist.

I've already said this in my introductory post, but I think one thing I wouldn't tell IRL people right away is how involved I am in fandom/internet culture, starting with harry potter forums when i was 12+. Which, of course, is not a big deal to say to other online folk.

That's a lie, actually. I had to do a presentation on fan fiction for my sherlock holmes class and it was very obvious I knew it from a more-than-observer perspective. Oh well.

omg pls i'm too young to die

- I constantly stay up until dawn. Constantly.
- Collecting little clips of Dan & Phil and arranging them in different orders is so satisfying to me, I did it for months and months on my own, before I ever had anyone to show the results to. Bit obsessive in general.
- I can't remember the last time I voluntarily watched straight porn. I'm straight.
- Before I watched Dan & Phil I used to catfish people on OkCupid with a fake profile. Sorry if you're a victim of that, I just wanted to roleplay as a guy and meet cool people to talk to (I still miss some of them).
- I can name every single Buffy episode in 6 minutes 14 seconds - CAN YOU??

Eurovision.

Last year a bunch of us watched it together on some chat website. It didn't have a password so suddenly some random dude just went and gatecrashed the chat and started a video feed of himself masturbating. Good times. Oh and my country won but that wasn't as noteworthy.

I'm only 20 but feel pretty much the exact same way about relationships! All my friends are either hooking up all over the place or in super steady relationships and then there's just me being perpetually single

I know the struggle
I'm just holding on to the belief that the right one will find me eventually... at least I hope that's the case, if not, i'll just be single forever. Worst part is though that I'm not a cat person so I can't become an elderly single woman with a bunch of cats... or a dog woman because i'm not a dog person either. I don't really like animals - well they're cute and all but I wouldn't want an animal. So i'm destined to be single and alone forever if the right one doesn't come along.

Hello everyone! I only read a couple pages here and there cuz I'm a busy bee, but here goes. I'm a 15yo from the northwest us.
-I am pro-avocado, pro-pineapple-on-pizza, pro-honeydew, and pro-oatmeal-raisin
-I'm a severely closeted genderfluid person irl, and a less closeted bi person (I'm only out to my family)
-Thinking about Hogwarts houses or AI too long will send me into a exhausting philosophical spiral. On that note, according to other people I'm a Hufflepuff.
-I am pretty much a phan believer, and I hardly ever have agnostic moments anymore
-My few contributions to the world of phanart include an interpretation of deppy as dogs and some hair edits: nikawolfe.tumblr.com/tagged/art #spon Also I made a handful of d&p face emoticons.
-I have a bad habit of appearing on social media in short intense bursts and disappearing again, but this particular community is the best and I love it so much

I caved and did an MBTI test (still annoys me to no end that these tests are taken so seriously on the internet) and I got ENFP which I have gotten before. I feel like the only person here that has an extroversion type

I'm a bit the same. I'm 22 and my friends either have very active casual romantic lives or are in steady relationships and I'm just here still single

I have a weird love for Teen Wolf, so that's cool! I'm actually doing art for a Sterek fic from the Teen Wolf big bang right now, even though I'm more of a Lydia/Malia kind of person, Sterek is pretty good too since Stiles is of course my favourite character.

Instant love for people that have everything on their desktop! I've worked with way too many popel who are obssessively anal about computer folder organziation that I mostly do it now to rebel.

I posted with test results an stuff but I never did a facts thing so idk I'll do that now if anyone is remotely interested o_o

So I'm 18, from the UK, currently studying Maths and Philosophy at University

Started watching D+P in 2011. My friends and I were typical fangirls and one time my friend's twitter question was included in SAP and we all died. We also lived in the countryside just outside Manchester so used to always used to fantasise about meeting them whenever we went in to the city lol

Nowadays I don't have any desire to meet them or see them, but I do still have some remnants of my tween obsession hence why I'm here..

As a kid, if you had asked me what I wanted to be when I was older I would have said 'a hippie'. I used to go around hugging trees, wearing lots of tie dye and drawing peace signs on everything.....

I'm really, really shy and have quite bad social anxiety/selective mutism and basically cannot talk to people irl. Even though if you saw me you probably wouldn't expect that from me, so I think most people assume I'm just really cold and stuck up sigh

I'm seeing Muse next Friday in Manchester!!! I feel bleh mentioning Muse on a D+P forum since they're kind of connected, but I have always always loved Muse (not that there's anything wrong with finding them that way but yeah) and ugghhh I am so fudging excited ;_;

So yah

Ayy, we're fellow Swedes, Felucca! I actually... uh, worked with Eurovision back in 2013 when Sweden hosted it last time. TOLD U IM TRASH, ALRIGHT. Also that story is horrifying, ain't nobody got time for random dudebro losers when ESC is on.

Regarding the extroversion/introversion discussion. I feel like it makes sense that introverts hang out online, it's technically not socializing even though we write essays to each other. We can x out whenever we want, so it's not exhausting. All the extroverts are out partying, I doubt they have the attention span or the time for quiet, analytical speculations on other people. (I'm generalizing obvz but my best friend's an extreme extrovert and she literally just uses her computer for Facebook and Spotify.)

That's so cool, i hope you have fun! They're supposed to be one of the greatest live bands ever, right? I was supposed to see them in 2012 but Matt Bellamy broke his fucking toe and cancelled. Still salty about it. No but really, have fun, you should report back on how it was, I would love to know!

Re: the romance discussion, I spent SEVEN YEARS being the only person in my friend group with a relationship between the ages 20-27. Now they're all shacking up though. (And super in love and clingy and hearteyed, which is amusing and cute in equal parts.)

I see you saved my pictures of Dan's shirts then and now to your desktop, and labeled them with dates. And my searchable formspring thing. I am truly honored.

Here is my own desktop, for any stalkers out there. I think there's one file on there called "Linguistics Homework"...the rest is just Dan and Phil.

Can I just say that sharing desktops is one of my favourite things to do ever? Here's mine:
Unfortunately I suffer from some mild OCD and one thing I can't stand is desktop files, I literally feel like I need to attack some of yours with my skills and organise them somewhere neatly hahah. But that's ok, I can just gaze at Deppy, all is good.

nikawolfe, I completely forgot you made those photoshops of Dan with different coloured hair. Damn, I just love it. Love it.

Also, Pottermore and every sorting hat ever has put me into Hufflepuff. Any other Hufflepuffs here? lol

I don't think my desktop has ever been empty in my whole life. I could definitely benefit from your organization skills.

I've always been more of an empty desktop person myself - for some reason I just assumed that all of felucca and oqua's D&P stuff was all properly organized super neatly into files since they are the resident archivists

Ling people!!! Hi!

Nice clean desktop. Modern phone/iPhone/iPad app layouts really bugs me... but I have sorted the absolute SHIT out of my apps so they all fit on one screen. I don't have OCD, honest, I just like things to be NEAT.

I have very little shame in real life so it's hard to think of something I would never say, however, I can think of something I'm afraid to say on here (judging by GG reactions lol)

I actually love Dan's music taste (even Kanye soz) and like most of the music he does (except for Grimes' new album smh Dan)

With you, me, and icklebrina we'll have a small gang of present and past Ling majors going soon. Do you have any study interests? I'm currently prepping for graduate studies in CompLing, so I'm a bit of a sucker for the generative stuff (though I still get horrific flashbacks from my last year of Syntax).
