And remember, don't cry, craft.

Also known as the Phamily. They're fans of the popular YouTubers AmazingPhil and danisnotonfire and have tenancies to draw cat whiskers on their faces in either sharpie or eyeliner. Dan's side of the fandom tends to have more "internet drama" (Arguments over pointless things and blowing teeny-tiny comments out of proportion) while Phil's tends to be more sweet and innocent. Both sides have their own respective animal, Dan liking llamas and Phil liking lions. Dan also likes placentas and Delia Smith (For some reason) and Phil's fans draw him naked even though he's the innocent one but it makes sense.
Louise: Have you seen Dan and Phil's new collab Halloween Brownies video on Phil's channel? It gave me so many feels!
Beth: Oh my god, I know! I was on tumblr until 6AM blogging about it! I was half asleep at school, but it was worth it. The Phandom was so funny about it, too.

The phandom is a group of fans for two YouTube stars called danisnotonfire and amazingphil.

The phandom have many different platforms to base themselves around. Twitter, Instagram, Tumblr, Vine, Facebook and the most important, YouTube.

No group of fans from any social media platform are better than the other. They all seem to disagree with one another so it causes a shitstorm.
Normal person: do Dan and Phil have like a special fan club or something?
Member of the phandom: yeah it's called the phandom!

Normal person: so if you like Dan and Phil, you are in the phandom?

Member of phandom: HELLZ YEAH!
