Phil, you talk about the show a lot. But have you ever seen the original movie? It's from 1991 I think. I'll finally watch the show if you watch the movie. 🤣
Same, shouldn’t have been surprised but somehow it didn’t cross my mind. Though all the 3 boys from my linguistics uni course also turned out to be gay and fanfic writers 😂
this feels like when you’re in your mid-twenties and your parents finally start telling you about their life before you were born and start treating you like a friend and it COMPLETELY changes how you view them
I love how phil just completely deviated from the romance to immediately introduce the cool fusion monster that he wanted to see in the show v on brand
Imagining little Phil having Buffy as his female "celebrity crush" while secretly writing gay fanfic about Spike is so fucking funny to me. Such a good video😂
for a second i was SHOCKED that phil had written fanfic and then i remembered the buffy cutout..... any queer who's that invested in a genre show has ABSOLUTELY dabbled in fanfic, this completely tracks. one of us, one of us, one of us
I love Phil going “we’re going to assume this is when they were in college (and thus legal adults)” and then a minute later discovering that they were indeed in college and going “oh thank goodness” 😂
I can’t believe how much this is regular fanfiction. Normally when TH-camrs are like “I did this thing you do” it’s like, no, not really, but I could have come across this on ao3 and not batted an eye
This is an insane mix of a style of fics I've for sure read and the ambitious kind of amateur fics that spawn things such as "vampire wolf" with hardly any preamble lmfao
it seriously warmed my heart when you said you couldn't even cringe at having made something so creative, like fic is indulgent and sincere and that IS beautiful, and it's something i hope everyone feels looking back on their potentially embarrassing stories :')
I faintly remember editing tips being a reference to sth but I've forgotten, can someone remind me please? (unless I'm hallucinating an it was never a thing)
@@vidatheunicorn9794 basically (as far as i've heard i only started watching dnp in 2020) dan (years ago) said phil gave him 'editing tips' when he started out on youtube and that became an innuendo for... well...... 👀 👀 👀 yknow
@@vidatheunicorn9794the other ppl have it basically but iirc it was something where in an interview or something, dan said that he originally reached out to Phil for “editing tips” despite the fact that for years he had always said he reached out to Phil bc he liked him (he would like joke about being obsessed w Phil and being a fan before they met) so the whole phandom thought it was really funny bc we basically saw it as a cover up. This was also during a time when the phandom was especially parasocial and dnp were especially private 😅
@@kayahigham8568 when I was in 8th grade my friend posted one of my fanfics on her instagram and told everyone to go read it 😭 that thought now makes me cringe so hard. a few years ago I had to go back and change the name of my wattpad account because I realized it was still the same thing I used for most of my social media and the idea that people I knew in COLLEGE could come across it mortified me
jokes aside it genuinely does mean so much that phil Gets It and understands what fic is about and who it's for (NOT the creators/subjects). fic is never actually about the subjects/characters, they're simply muses for a narrative and are completely isolated from the real people/story. and most importantly, that it's for the community and not for the creators. Respecting the fourth wall goes both ways and i appreciate phil not wanting to cross it (ESPECIALLY when other youtubers have made entire videos making fun of their fans by reading fanfiction about themselves without the authors consent...)
Phil I mean this with the utmost seriousness. This is the funniest thing I have ever watched in my life. I feel physically weak and I have tears streaming down my face I might pass out
Phil.... as someone currently in the midst of a buffy rewatch, who grew up on both buffy and fanfiction, and who is currently writing a fic about both vampires and werewolves.........you cannot imagine the elation I am feeling rn. And why was it kind of good?? Like for unpublished secret gay rarepair fic that was incredible. What unnerved me the most was the dialogue bc tbh... you had the characterization pretty spot on. Spike making dumb quips every thirty seconds, Oz saying two word prompts every now and then to keep things going... my favorite part was: "That one owed me bloody money ... he tasted delicious ... he was hot- and also tasted delicious" BRO I CAN HEAR JAMES MARSTERS SAYING THAT IN MY MIND RN like to write spike you gotta make it stupid and then just let him pull it off; it's the way of the world. Also FANEDITS???? OF BUFFY????? Bitch I can tell from the way you edited the graphics for this video!!! I want to see those so bad, just know I would have watched and liked that shit I support you so much. Learn your craft the fun way
please i did the same in my personal statement like a year and a half ago 😭 'i write works of fiction inspired by creative media which has offered me an insight into authorial intent' GIRL YOU WRITE SMUT
feeling the primal draw of chapter 2. yearning for chapter 2 to be unleashed. chapter 2 setting my instincts on edge. there’s a primal attraction between me and chapter 2 i cannot deny
I’m sorry but Spike/Oz is the most random pairing I’ve ever heard of like what. I racked my brain and I cannot think of one meaningful interaction between the two
It's killing me to say this but, Phil, in Supernatural there's an episode where Dean Winchester won't shut up about the concept of a vampire-werewolf hybrid whom he calls... You guessed it: A WEREPIRE.
between this and The Mark of Oxin™, young phil has inspired me so much to get out there and create things!!!!! no more instagram for me i need to put my heart and soul into making something i can fondly cringe over when i’m older ASAP
as expected the comments are so good, especially the one about this being normal ass fanfic like i cannot express how often i've read this exact fic on ao3
i cant believe THE phil lester invented fanfiction… only for him to be apart of one of the most iconic duos to get fanfic written abt them. mother behavior
wow a half vampire half werewolf with midnight black fur and red wings who is also the lead guitarist in a rock band.... someone somewhere has a deviantart oc just like this

Phil can you and Dan try weird Tik Tok filters?
Phil, you talk about the show a lot. But have you ever seen the original movie? It's from 1991 I think. I'll finally watch the show if you watch the movie. 🤣
woof?? like a vampire wolf???
woof ?? 😭
For so long we accused Dan of being a furry, but here Phil was, writing Werewolves x Vampires as a teenager.
Tbf they are both catboys
It was deflection this whole time
These mfs are Phreaky
@@iliveonatropicalisland6086PHREAKY 💀😭
THIS
So THATS what the english language degree is for
... Always has been (sincerely, current english lit student)
Damn right
currently doing the exact same course at the exact same uni as phil so i can write stuff just like this
@@swablucherieomg I'm also on English Language and Linguistics at York! I'm in third year!
As someone with a linguistics degree, I wish it had any relevance to my fanfic writing 😂😂 that's more of a lit thing maybe
THE CALL WAS COMING FROM INSIDE OF THE HOUSE THIS ENTIRE TIME
ONE OF US ONE OF US ONE OF US
as a gay guy with a Linguistics bachelor's and an English master's, I can confirm i also wrote angsty gay fanfic as a teenager
from inside the...phouse
come on it's right there
I saw this comment and remembered that story and immediately got the chills, I remember that story from when I was a kid
@@Gontooogood luck w that one😭
Spike: "This guy I killed was hot."
Oz: "Omg that's so hot."
You just don't get romance like that these days
you either die a fanfic writer or live long enough to become the fanfic topic
This one got me I'm crying 😂😂
why am i surprised mr linguistics degree wrote fanfics as a teen
Let alone Mr ‘poster of Sarah Michelle Gellar’ on his wall
Same, shouldn’t have been surprised but somehow it didn’t cross my mind. Though all the 3 boys from my linguistics uni course also turned out to be gay and fanfic writers 😂
we should've seen this coming
...as a teen...yes 👀
I THOUGHT THE SAME THING. At first I was like “how?” But then I remembered the linguistics degree
this feels like when you’re in your mid-twenties and your parents finally start telling you about their life before you were born and start treating you like a friend and it COMPLETELY changes how you view them
the accuracy hurts
Literally me when I found out my dad used to have a tongue ring
"Inside of you are two wolves, one of them is gay and the other....is gay" might be my favorite quote
1000% agree phillyamazing fucking icon
I’m 100% gonna use that everyday
9:28
Phil didn't come up with that. it's a meme
@@ConiferConnieTreeCow wow I can't believe he would do that.... unsubscribed 😢
not phil calling chaotic neutral "chaotic mid" 😭😭😭
Accurate description for failboy Spike though
As someone who's not attacked to him in the slightest...he is kinda mid tho xDd
Well you would think that since you’re not attracted to him lmao. Not exactly an unbiased take
@@Eddiebaby- attacked😭😭
I love how phil just completely deviated from the romance to immediately introduce the cool fusion monster that he wanted to see in the show v on brand
Imagining little Phil having Buffy as his female "celebrity crush" while secretly writing gay fanfic about Spike is so fucking funny to me. Such a good video😂
closet is glass😭😭
@@bunbunnioLMAOOOOO
Love that Phil understands what it feels like to throw your hair up in a messy bun and put on some quick mascara
bet he also knows what it feels like to be sold to one direction
little phil had no idea he would become one of the biggest fanfiction topics to exist
this is a wild revelation 😭
Full circle
The photoshop visualization adds so much to this, 10/10, underrated art
Phil should've worn his "human by chance, alpha by choice" shirt for this
Phil writing gay rarepair Buffy fic as a teen makes perfect sense
a lot of “eyes” but at least young phil resisted “orbs”
Or “pools.” there was an inexplicable amount of that going on on ffn back in the day in the Naruto crowd
hahaha this was my EXACT thought
Naruto fanfics ‘pools’ obsession was a war trigger I wasn’t ready for but here we are.
omg so many Buffy fanfics featured Xander's "chocolatey orbs"
@@letstrytobekinddid bro have Lindt chocolate truffles in the place of regular human eyes? 😭
i can’t believe phil invented archive of our own
naomi novik who? i only know phil lester
😭
shhh i never heard him mention that site let's keep it a secret 😭
@@moonchild9841 its like the second biggest fanfiction site he doesnt live under a rock 😭
@@kais3297 conspiracy theory: he never mentions it because he is a big writer there

And I can’t blame him for been obsessed with Buffy, as soon as I started I got so invested
as someone with a castiel cutout.... feeling seen
I love Phil going “we’re going to assume this is when they were in college (and thus legal adults)” and then a minute later discovering that they were indeed in college and going “oh thank goodness” 😂
this is an insane revelation...you're literally one of us
My parents said if I reach 25k, they'd buy me a professional camera for recording... Pls guys I'm literally begging you!
goated pfp
He gets it! I feel seen
Not only fanfics but ALSO FAN EDITS??
Literally one of us
stray kids everywhere all around the world ‼️‼️
hilarious that u can tell how much fanfic phil read when he wrote this based off the wording and style he uses lmaoo
that was my immediate reaction like he was clearly a fanfic connoisseur 😭 he’s true to this not new to this!
literally!! he also has a linguistics degree which might help 🥴
"the band member"
that’s called “education”
and we shall not think of it…
really… this information should not be passed onto us
@@ZanetaW seeing the word 'member' on a video about fanfic immediately struck primal fear into my heart 😭😭
“Inside of you are two wolves. One is gay, the other is gay”
-Phil Lester 2024
Really makes ya think
That actually made me burst out laughing 😂
Phil wasn't the first to say this. It's been a meme for a long time
We know 🙄 it’s a joke
the gayness "not coming from his human side" but then once he accepts it he becomes more powerful?
oh philly the projecting...
I didn't catch that but now that you mention it...
Phil *writing fanfiction decades ago*: this is so much fun I hope more people enjoy writing fanfic in the future
*finger curls on monkey paw*
i love the image with the buffy cast and “you wouldn’t last a hour in the asylum where they raised me” actually iconic 😭
I was looking for this comment 😭❤️
a ttpd girlie we live to see it
HE'S SO REAL FOR THIS

yesss i had to rewind cause i was like wait… did i read that right?? swifties unite
I can’t believe how much this is regular fanfiction. Normally when TH-camrs are like “I did this thing you do” it’s like, no, not really, but I could have come across this on ao3 and not batted an eye
So true, this kind of fic really does have a specific style that was perfectly emulated here 😂
This is an insane mix of a style of fics I've for sure read and the ambitious kind of amateur fics that spawn things such as "vampire wolf" with hardly any preamble lmfao
Honestly, it also reeks of the time period that he wrote it in too! I’m obsessed with this
Phil really gets it
i would have read 100k of this when i was 15. this is truly the fanfic i used to read
18 years later and you're still somehow revealing insane stuff abt ur life online😭😭
real
this is just another day for phil
it seriously warmed my heart when you said you couldn't even cringe at having made something so creative, like fic is indulgent and sincere and that IS beautiful, and it's something i hope everyone feels looking back on their potentially embarrassing stories :')
oz had a gay crisis and flew away from it. king shit tbh. i need all of this

"Oz, 5'5" guy..." "...I relate to him"
You sure about that you spaghetti noodle?
dan and phil have always been just as nerdy and fandom-y as we all are and thats why they get us
Honestly the only reason they didn’t just stop posting all together
I KNEW THERE WAS A REASON HE KNEW SO MANY FIC TERMS
phol understood the queer allegory of vampires and werewolves before anyone else
oz when spike's talking about the hot guys he killed: hope this doesn't awaken anything in me

gay buffy the vampire fanfiction feels like a homosexual rite of passage at this point
i was in the trenches writing my tara/willow fanfic on livejournal
Buffy/Faith for me.
Phil having written fanfiction before is both the most and least surprising thing I’ve heard since he came out

The Disaster Bi Icon himself.
Vampire diaries also has a whole plot about “hybrids” aka werewolf vampires
i believe there is also a werewolf turned vampire in what we do in the shadows and i think she could turn into a fucked up wolf-bat thing or something
