BONUS VIDEO: The Fanfic Trope Self-Audit

Edgelord x roundpeasant is my fav fanfic trope of all time im so happy they mentioned it

But seriously for Omegaverse, realistically, theyre both betas

Sorry bois im reading hannigraham rn

S-tier all the way! Although I'm glad they stopped at omegaverse, I was not mentely ready for that conversation XD

dan wearing that shirt and tie means serious buisiness

(Self en)forced proximity

phil subtely mentioning sam the surfer was s tier ragebait

It’s me I’m round peasant

Omg! They share a phed

DID PHIL JUST REFERENCE SAM THE SURFER AIRPORT GUY

oh my god back when I was 12 I projected onto the “Dan has a mental breakdown and Phil tries to fix it” fics like crazyyy

Phil is a Persian cat. Dan is a Siamese cat. I will not be elaborating.

TVD vampires can have food and drink

No wait guys thats not what hurt/comfort means 😭😭😭 its like the author is trying to hurt ME with horrid horrid angst but they promise that theres a light at the end of the tunnel

Pissers to harders

i feel like dan and phil would be offed doing something suspicious like bill murray in zombieland. there's no way either of them would make it past the checkpoint every day until society is rebuilt.

Is this a safe space to say i CANNOT read au fics😢😢

💗💗💗

We know mom and dad Lester are cool bc they were the “if you’re going to hookup w a twink from the internet, we’d rather you do it under our roof” parents. Allies. Very Amy Pohler in Mean Girls.

PHILS HAT

ok rewatch and I concur this is one of your best phatreons everrrr just simply peak. you skipped soulmate au though

While Phil is golden retriever coded, I think the dnp dynamic is more black cat/orange cat behavior

them saying they would be good in a coffee shop au,,,, do we not remember overcooked?????

round peasant had me genuinely laughing out loud for multiple minutes

Guys this is off topic but I had to ask the phatrons. Where did the "is Phil single?" jokes all start coming from all of a sudden? It's been said so often my fans on tour and colour a girl confused

this is the best dan and phil video btw sorry to dans full production movies i love parasocial era

clickbait kings

the one on the left is kiki and the one on the right is bouba

why has the ranking board changed so much

Dan and Phil i just wanted to let you know that vampires don't necessarily live in castles, dracula did because he was a count

They should do their own Phan proof video 🤣

I appreciate that after posting the ranking ships video they reevaluated and put hannigram at S. Me and my bf were shouting at the screen the whole video because Phil didn’t see the vision </3

of course "vampires" would work, you wrote "the urge" daniel

Have you seen the clip from the streets of Paris of the two French men Daniel and Philippe? They have been together for 40 years

No Jedas in the new video is insane!!! Those are your ancient brothers in gay rpf😔

The proof of the "only you can understand me" trope is in the "what dan and phil text each other" videos.

I love the edge lord and round peasant

watching this a day late so its technically a hard friday but im still hard

I wrote a gay cannibalism poem who wants to read it

YAY IM A PATREON PUPPY

I still use coconut shampoo and conditioner because of The Bluebird Fic that I read maybe a decade ago. Such a beautiful story and incredible writing. The shit changed me fundamentally as a person, much like A Splitting of The Mind (MCR), or The Forest Fic (TOP). I will never recover

INCREDIBLE. This is what i pay for

I gotta say, I had a whole panic response to Dan just saying "Omegaverse" and then it only got worse when Phil started LISTING THINGS ABOUT IT. I'm sorry on behalf of the internet for the things you must have seen. lmaooooo

The tier list is different when they show it in the background at the end of this compared to YouTube and now I’m questioning their changes in rankings and well as who’s included (I’m so intrigued)

love the t-shirt phil

Dan and Phil: the only example of the “too many beds” trope

can’t believe this is our reality

Why is the tier list different?

Love how in the last thirty seconds you can see that their tier-list changed to include Hannigram in S tier, they moved Johnlock down to A, and they included Byler-

Nooo I wanted to hear what they had to say about the omegaverse!! 😭

Amok Time would be a great episode to react to! Star Trek's most famous Spirk episode, it's set on Vulcan, Spock is in heat, there is homoerotic wrestling - and it is actually written by a bisexual sci-fi author!

We’re both equally incompetent - just perfection

both are omegas scissoring

2:20 sam the surfer continues to haunt the narrative I see

I don’t think Phil would survive being a vampire, he’d lose his glasses and then Buffy would come out of the shadows and he’d be there like “hmm what an odd looking plant”

Not relevant to the video, but I think Dan should listen to ‘Internet Angel’ by Devika, it slaps.

Watch Interview with the Vampire (TV show ver) I BEG OF YOOOOU

phil yearns for the temporary MtF AU

Just when I thought we were safe from Phil saying "in heat"

I think you're both very kind and emotionally intelligent with a splash of high-level goofiness. I didn't know about Dan, Phil, Phan or anything related until Dan's coming out video (in which he looked very dashing and sounded like a creative genius so I became invested by the end). Then I subscribed to their individual channels, then subbed to Dan and Phil Games. Here I am, and happy about it.

I have always been a fanfic girly but have never done DipnPip fan fic. Please provide your suggestions! I just don’t want one of them to die ✌🏻

every now and then i have to remind myself that a few years ago this wouldve crashed the entire internet

Past me could never imagine this video 😭😂

Im so happy I pay for this this is peak

I think they would do great in a stalker/kidnapped situation like that one about one direction where Harry stalks the girl but then she flips it and kidnapped Louis

Enjoying my Phriday from Phew Phealand Photerora

Omg they filmed the ranking video twice? Aahh

Yuri list please I beg

I was taking notes, amazing video, thank you dads

love to crowd fund my favorite s tier ship ❤️

Sesquipedalian

crying at the amount of phanfics i’ve read with half these tropes only for the source material THEMSELVES to go “that would never work” 😭 i love fiction

In case you’re wondering, this is the bonus video that finally made me reactivate my Patreon sub

Do y’all call them dads bc they’re older than you? I have friends who are older than Phil and I’m only 6 years younger than Dan. Idk they’re more like the cool older cousins to me lol

sam the surfer allusion???

Watching them realize they fit almost every trope in 2026 is so funny to me

♥️

The fact that I’m wearing puppy ears to HLT on Saturday and you called us puppies 💜

Phil finally learned the term "rut" for his omegaverse fantasies!

cowards elaborate on the mpreg

i am so enlighted what an s tier video thank u

w8 what about DNP hunger hames AU? i need an essayyy

This was sooo fun<3 Also I feel like there's definitely room for a follow-up, maybe you let us provide the tropes or get a friend to do it. (And once again thank you for maintaining this boundary so well. I know it's quite the balancing act to want to engage with fic tropes but not wanting to put the heat on anyone who partakes, we appreciate your efforts sooo much!)

ngl the background music on this one was weird

Where’s Merthur? 😭

can’t believe yall didn’t include yuri on ice😔😔

sam the surfer reference? in 2026? it's more likely than you think (and ilism)

everything i know about omegaverse is against my will thanks to phil lester

Don’t know why the tier list in this video is different from the main video but hannigram has now been promoted to S tier so we’re up

Mr. “I could kill a wolf” and Mr. “We’d survive a Zombie apocalypse”

it's 4am and this is my best drunk impulse purchase ever

Disappointed they didn't bring up mpreg ✊️😔

Please can we have the yuri version, Willow and Tara S obviously!

Where did that last tier list come from? It didn't match the one from YouTube

Can't believe this video reminded me of some of my own AUs that I wrote almost a decade ago. Maybe I should finally get back to that superhero long-fic I was planning and then abandoned because I got into Yuri on Ice 😂

i love paying for yoai premium ♥️

u describing yrselves as a crowdfunded s tier ship is frying me 😭

Honestly I think the reason you are a tier is because you are clearly best friends and actually enjoy each other's company. That's literally the whole point of being together

"Vampires?" dan you wrote THE vampire phanfic

so for no reason in particular - in Dan, Phil and Hudson Williams omegaverse fanfiction who would be alpha, beta and omega?? asking for a friend

Rhi-oh no play 😂 🦏

please do a yuri tier list im on my knees

This is the most phause-vibes phasement video so far 💚

Dan was really articulating in this video

ayo why is the ranking at 13:00 different than the yt upload 👀

being an og phan is wild right now i remember when tumblr was philled with so much dnp content dan has shaped my entire humor and identity XD

im bricked up

This is wild 😭 🙏

Thank you for this gift, dads. 🙂‍↕️

cherik and stucky mentioned by phan in the same day this is my super bowl

why is the tier list different

S-Tier video omg me from a year ago could never have predicted where we'd be

Thank god that Omegaverse bit was cut short, I was so fucking scared 😭

youtube video in the phouse but patreon extra in the studio 🚨conspiracy theory alert 🚨

Dan is not on fire when hes flaming is crazy work lmao

My favorite never doomed yaoi

yuri tierlist when

I was going to suggest AMC’s Interview With The Vampire for film club (HELLO toxic codependent vampire yaoi) but knowing that Phil hasn’t seen Hannibal is simply unacceptable. We (Dip and Pip) must revisit the ancient texts

The editor putting Byler in the tier list at the end 😭 ok I see you

dan and phil i would like to humbly suggest that you consider watching nbc’s hannibal for a philm club in october 🤭 each episode is about an hour long and there are 13 episodes a season

Me and Penjamin believe you COULD survive in the Omegaverse AU if the AU is an AU! There are stories where 2 omegas fall in love. Those stories are boring as fuck to read, but it can be done! See ya next week in Misery (Missouri)!

i’ve never been so hard for an audit

red + blue = purple i see your style game lads

the way dan says “taboo” here is so funny can y’all please do a ranking yaoi ships part 2 and also a ranking yuri ships pleek <333

Love that the teir list here doesn't match the one from YouTube 👀

phil said "heat and rut" waaaay too fast. i see u

You guys are particularly sexy in this video might I say

This was amazing thank you

Omfg when you mentioned google and I thought we were at the social network for a second (mark/eduardo robbed)

oh my ,,, this video …. phatreon money well spent

i'm putting you back in s tier for the phannibalism

This is exactly what I pay for 🙏🏽

Didn’t know my Yaoi Prime order was coming today but they DELIVERED regardless 🙌✨

I have to share that one day, I was in a meeting at law school and someone asked "what is the alpha version of heat." And I yelled, "I know." And then immediately went "but now I don't wanna say." Hearing Phil say heat and rut made me remember...

praying to the phan gods Dan takes all his strong opinions and writes them into a romance novel under a penname he will later reveal

Proud supporter of the Phagenda

still drunk asf, can’t handle this shite

patreon puppies is back 🥹🥹🥹

Don’t forget they are both stoic omegas 😔

13 min video i somehow spent over an hour watching through??? incredible stuff idk how to express anything but i love you two <3

I'm so aware of how parasocially attached to y'all I am (sorry about that) but I've read it all and this is everything I've ever wondered 😂

This was a crazy video

You guys are pretty close huh.

as a fic writer... im scared

Lovers to colleagues ♥

This is literally the perfect Patreon video. I couldn’t have imagined this in my wildest dreams

I’m still not over Phil telling us to stop killing him in phanfic when BOTH his and Dan’s TABINOF phics involved his death. We’re just going off the source material here

Maybe the studio really is in their basement.

I'm actually surprised I haven't seen a fic about phan working at or opening the tops only bar

It’s 🦌 rutting 🦌 season

sam the surfer reference in 2026? and dan isn’t clocking it? what a time to be alive

i loved the laid back energy of this video!!! more please :3

love it when u guys are kind to short kings :)

after the phanibalism trial, do they become A tier?

The music is a bit loud in this one lads, good video tho

this is the best video of all time

i fucking RAN to open this notification

Okay, go off on saying you're more domestic and that 16 beats over 6,000 years. lol Listen, it sounds like you want to take the title 'ineffable husbands' from them (joking obvs)

round peasant is so cute 🥺

This is your friendly reminder that Dan literally not only wrote vampire AU phanfiction, but also published it in a book back in like 2015

DNP vampire AU is just that scene in Only Lover Left Alive when Eve gives Adam a blood popsicle

@5:38 you guys atticwifed yourselves ❤️

S tier videos today tysm kings <3

what the hell is this video idea

went from crying in class to opening my phone to this

"We're not superheroes. Or serial killers. But we are YouTubers." Put that in your bio.

They've definitely never read most of these tropes xD The ship is very rarely coworkers in a coffe shop au

After the Denver show I had to get on the Phatreon. Love yall 💜

soulmates ❤️

yes dan we know you slid into phils dms due to his irresistible emo swag

Dan had to safeword at the mention of Omegaverse

I'm just gonna say it, this was better than the main video and that one already had all of my fav words

the Dan and Phil beats background music 🥺 I love it

Semi Thursday

Ngl I was so fucking scared you were gonna pull up ao3 and use examples

holy visuals dan and phil stun

honestly, omegaverse forbidden love furry? scaly? feathery? where dan is a bird and phil is a seahorse and they are mutually pining but cannot bridge the royal courts of the winds and the tides until they get together and have a massive dragon egg. We love to see it~~

Why is the graphic at 12:59 different from the main video? :o (also thanks guys video of all time)

"the mascots for humanity" yeah that's about right

I’m not even 5 minutes in and this feels like snorting yaoi cocaine deluxe

talking abt blood as dips but omegaverse was too far

Black cat and golden retriever energy! Love you guys ❤️

loving the automatic feeder

Now why is byler in the background tier list but nowhere to be seen in the video 👀

Ahhhhhh yes!!!!! Needed

Thank you for the content sky daddies

havent finished the video yet but just wanted to let yall know that my day was kinda shit all throughout and at one point i got to thinking about what a comforting presence you and your videos have and how i wished it were hardmonday already so to see the notification out of nowhere and especially for it to be this fuckin good is just. thank you so much it made getting through it worth it

yessss perfect video thank you

I was just thinking it would be really nice if you posted today and you came in with a double banger❣️🥳

Wait why is the tier list slightly different at the end of this video than it was in the main channel video

Imagine the response to dads or mpreg fics. No seriously imagine it

two magneto professor x yaoi mentions in one day and he still forgot to put them in the tier list

I’m rarely here this early😂😂 home sick from work today so happy to have a double hard Thursday thanks guys 🫶

we’ve hit the phantagon

So I guess the moral here is that you guys transcend tropes

Listennnnnnn Phanfic has come a long way. Your characters both tend to be fully-fleshed (ay yo!) even in the shortest stories.

best Phatreon video ever???!!

you guys are joking about the superhero au but i literally am writing an Xmen AU about you two and now im considering giving dan fire powers (currently you have either sound or psychic powers and sunlight powers do you approve)

The tier list that pops up is slightly different from the one on youtube???

Don't cry, Pharm

im hard on a Thursday

especially ME???

That's not what size difference is about guys, you scared the shit out of starting like that... You made a 45min video about how you wouldn't be talking about anyone's girth 😭

there's discourse on twitter that shipping them is problematic and fetishizing (said by non-phannies that saw their video on Popbase and don't know anything about them) and then DnP themselves post like ANYWAY WE ARE S-TIER SHIP

i feel like dan cant say shit about the vampire au considering what he wrote in tabinof....

Zombie au where phil's hoarding saves them from starving when 🤣

i could give you a good phic rec for all of these oops

doesn't the phouse have floor to ceiling glass walls in some places?? zombies are smashes through immediately!!

a bonus bit on a bonus video? i feel spoiled!

thank youuuu for addressing some of these common misconceptions in a fun way!!! have a lovely tour xoxoxoxo

Fun! Watched this with the family on the way to your show! See y’all in a bit!

pls i love how they get into these 😂😂

so, in this alien au, i’m an alien with a single tentacle..?

i think dnp would survive in a dnd au. call it dndnp.

oh you missed one - secretly lizards. I personally think this fits you guys perfectly

VERY happy to support the only valid RPF <3 see you on tour sky daddies

Invisibility for Phil's superpower... sir you're literally psychic

why is dan dressed like spongebob

See y'all in a week!!!

Can we please remake all the fanfiction according to that? Like "here's my original fic and that's what it is after it got corrected by dads" 😂

Already knew they weren’t beating the grumpy/sunshine allegations

I feel like im fifteen again, dan and phil talking about omegaverse? Who made the time mashine??

i googled sesquipedalian and it showed me images of dan howell

as a phanfic writer with a zombie apocalypse au work in progress, plot armor will protect you, but also wouldn't it be funny if it happened while Dan is on the American leg of a tour called "We're all doomed"

Can’t wait for 60 year old Dan and Phil fanfic 👏🏻

Not them swapping hannigram and johnlock in the tier list at the end

I want it to be known that I RAN from yt to sign up for patreon after they showed the preview of this in the video

matcha being a karen drink CANCELLED daniel

Incredibly off topic but I’m so excited for the dc tour date 😭 you’ll be bringing much needed whimsy to the catastrophes that can be here
