Phan 

The ship and real life relationship name for British Youtubers Phil (AmazingPhil) and Dan (DanielHowell and Danisnotonfire)
At one point the Phandom (fans of phan) was associated with being aggressive and overbearing to the point of hurting the pair emotionally. After the demon hype went down a bit and the pair took a break, Dan finally had the confidence to say he was queer. It is mostly confirmed that they are together at least 2019. Don't pressure them into saying anything more.

I think Phan make such good videos.

Phan 

Rare name for a female. They're an absolute weeb and love being edgy like anime characters. They can be a little cheesy when it comes to relationships but you'll eventually give in to the cheesy relationship because of how sweet it is. Soon, you'll find yourself and her cooking bento boxes for each other and being yelled at for not eating.

Please marry me Phan

Phan 

The combination of the first names of two charming British YouTubers named Dan Howell and Phil Lester who were shipped the hell out of by the batshit horny side of their often invasive yet *creative* fanbase and eventually came out publicly as gay after so much speculation and accusations of “queer-baiting”.

In sharing their perspective to millions online, it has really helped many people feel less alone in some of their own thoughts and experiences. They were able use their talents to capitalize on how the nature of their private relationship is none of our business and have quite literally made that their own business.

Dan and Phil have become successful content creators that provide comforting comedic entertainment for their millions of followers. It can’t be easy to discuss vulnerable topics or share yourself online with that many people all up in your personal business, so keep that in mind and respect their privacy.

Please seek professional help and therapy if your obsession with parasocial relationships is unhealthy, unethical, or is making people way too creeped out and uncomfortable.

I’m not really into shipping real people, but yeah I may have seen some Phan edits on my tumblr dashboard and like…I get it.

*draws cat whiskers on face and turns into a feral animal frothing at the mouth* OMFG I LOVE PHAN SO MUCH! THEY R LITERALLY MARRIED AND TRUE LIFE SOULMATES!!! I WOULD DIE FOR THEM. I WOULD ACTUALLY MURDER SOMEONE FOR THEM. I REPLICATED THE EXACT LAYOUT OF THEIR HOUSE ON ROBLOX. CHECK OUT THE GRAPHIC FICS I WROTE ABOUT PHAN THAT INCLUDES THEMES OF GORE, HAMSTERS, INFLATION, MPREG, AND PHIL LITERALLY FUCKING DYING DURING CHILDBIRTH! RAWRRR XD 🤪
