YouTube’s is quite popular in this day and age. There are so many different people in the YouTube business. Whether they are singers or educators. Or artists to entertainers. There is one very well known fandom on the YouTube website.

Its name is the Phandom.

This may strike fear into some people. As the Phandom can be the weirdest but also the sweetest people ever. (Aside from the terrifying side that even members of the Phandom avoid).

But Jelly what is the Phandom? And why do you know about it? Are you in it?

Well dear reader, let us start with your first question. It is a fan group as you know. They are the fans of two British based YouTubers named Dan Howell and Phil Lester (or respectively Danisnotonfire and Amazingphil ). They both have their own witty sense of hmnor. Dan is more known to be sarcastic and have the more depressing side. But he is still charming. While Phil is more nicknamed as the “angel bean”, because he is more of the whole "softie" side, but he is actually really smart and can get really serious when needed. He is more of the sweeter of the two and is the reason why Dan even started making videos. Phil was originally the earlier YouTubers of the duo, and Dan discovered his videos and they became friends (now best friends) over time. And because of Phil, Dan was pulling out of a very depressing part of his life. Together they collaborate on videos and have their own gaming channel (danandphilgames) and on April Fool’s they upload to their crafting channel, DanandPhilCrafts.

Now next question.

How do I know about the Phandom? Because I am in it dear reader. I joined back in my senior year of high school. The reason being is because my friend told me that these two fit my sense of humor and that they can be very calming to watch . At first I was like “Yeah sure I’ll watch them”. And so I did. I did not pay attention to the comments, as I was only there to watch their videos and enjoy it. But then I became attached to them. Which is an oh no indeed. So I talked to my bud that recommended them to me, but she was like “Ugh Jelly I know”, which did upset me. So I stopped mentioning them to her. So I was alone until I began reading the comments. At first I was nervous and such because these are new people and I’m a nervous wreck. (Mind you I was a senior in highschool when this started. And I was cautious of people due to bullying and other issues). And so I commented on other people’s comment threads and it was quite humorous and fun.

Until I met them. The rabid fans. The ones that my new Tumblr friends told me to avoid. (I exchanged my personal Tumblr with several people). Since I drew fanart of the two stars they wanted more. All I did was a simple color study painting of them. (Which I have to redo). But somehow a small but mighty crowd of people were interested. Now at first I thought it was good. I’ll paint more fan-art of them. After all they were fun to paint and my mom actually hung the work around the house because she thought they were funny and charming and my artwork was getting somewhat better. I was also popular on some Phan Aminos. (Which is an app that harvests different hobbies and things people like). (Almost like a virtual club with forums and all different types of people). Now that was fine. But some other people I know we’re harassed for their art and it was horrible. Because they are so talented and they did not ask for this. They privately share their art with a close few now. Such as myself. It was a train-wreck. And we all avoid that amino that caused it.

The Phandom is not that bad. It is almost like any other group of people. You have the nice folks. The in-between the nice and mean. And the mean. And each one has their own sub categories. The memes made by the group as a whole is hilarious. And right now is probably the golden age of the Phandom. As they are not really harassing each other as much (as far as I know), and they weed out anyone who shares the V-Day video which as a true member it is in my duties to not discuss it. But yes there are still those who are way too obsessive and tend to get all angry if Dan and Phil are collaborating with someone else or just anything in particular can set them off. It is frightening. But not all are bad. So give them a chance. Draw some cat whiskers and a cat nose on your face and go have fun.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
