something incredible

hi everyone!

*please read me :))*

something incredible happened. the legendary, amazing and sweet daniel howell came out as gay, or otherwise queer. i am so so happy for him and phil for being so courageous and opening their lives up to us. he was so mature and sincere about every word he spoke and i am so proud that he believes in equal rights so strongly.

i cannot wait to see him flourish even more and i hope he and phil can breathe easier now this is off their chests. I. JUST. LOVE. THEM. AND. I. HOPE. YOU. DO. TOO.

now, in terms of this book, i really really want to finish it because i had so many ideas that i'm completely in love with. at the same time, i don't want to upset anyone or undermine anyone's values by continuing this book. so, as a nice middle ground, i will most definitely write the last chapter so this can come to this close i wanted.

it won't really fit.

it'll probs be really long.

it'll probs be really sappy and stupid BUT IVE PLANNED THIS SINCE I WAS 14 SO SUCK IT

although, i think it's strange how it was okay to write about straight/bisexual/gay fanfictions about dan and phil when we never knew the truth and that was mildly acceptable. so does it have to change? 

people write fanfictions about openly straight men and women but alter them to be gay in their story. so if that's okay, can we write about gay people being straight? will dan x reader and phil x reader stories continue? 

i'm just trying to wrap my head around it, that's all. i don't think anyone is entitled to anything yet, we just gotta work out the boundaries.

anyway, i'll focus my energy more on phan-related stories (in my mind, first kiss eeee). i just feel that's more appropriate. 

thank you for this amazing journey. even though i second-guessed myself a lot, you always make me feel special and worthy. i can never ever ever thank you enough.

love always,
