there are like 4 i remember.. so yeaPAST
QUEEN
i guess this band is what really got me into the rock scene, as because of this band i started listening to more rock artists, etc. i think i got into this band due to tiktok (guys, i know. sigh.) and this is where i would also start my first tiktok account that actually got more than 1000 followers. this band is also the reason i am collecting cds now. my favorite member was john deacon, he’s so adorable and is so unbelievably underrated. i hope he’s doing a lot better since 1991. roger and brian are still icons, and i still look up to them as their so inspiring as people. they are so strong for going on with a band that they started over 50 years ago. Freddie, R.I.P. he was so strong, and i hate the fact that he had to go. he had such a beautiful voice, and he genuinely just deserved better.
i don’t listen to this band due to someone in the past, whom i met due to this fandom on discord (though the fandom has some of the best people) has hurt me, and i cant listen to queen without thinking about them. this band seriously have some very good songs, so that sucks. my time of this obsession (or fixation) was probably about a year.
JAKE & JOHNNIE
they are probably the obsession that has lasted the shortest amount of time. though i still have a few things to say, they (esp johnnie) are the reason i am emo, or even got into the alt scene. jake.. he’s interesting to say the least, but him in the trap house with sam and colby was such a good era. i started watching them right before christmas 2023.
jake, now, is genuinely weird. i wont judge anyone who still watches him, but yk.
johnnie, i dont watch his content too often anymore. but i still listen to his “not so perfect” album sometimes. i also watch MDE sometimes, so thats that.
SHAMELESS (US)
i honestly have so much to say about this. as this has greatly impacted the way i see things and people. this show has made me realise how serious mental health can actually be. Ian is and was my favorite character, even naming myself after him. he’s such a good character with a ton of character development, and no, i did not start watching for gallavich!! yes it’s my favorite ship but it’s not my favorite part of the series. my favorite part is probably watching the family grow and progress throughout the show, as if I'm growing up with them. i can learn a lot from it and a lot about the characters, how the characters keep saying “i wont end up like …” and then, for example, Lip becoming exactly like frank for a bit or Ian ending up bipolar like monica, it means so much to me as this fixation lasted a year. a hot take is that debbie is getting too much hate, yes she was SUPER annoying at times, but did she know any better? no, she did not. she barely had a mother around. yea, she had fiona. but anyone whose in a similar situation knows debbie rather sees fiona as a sister than as a mother, as intended. so she wouldn’t listen to fiona because she wasn't her mom, she was her sister. thats pretty much it for shameless. i dont have alot of energy to write alot.
i did not fall out of love with shameless, its just less relevant to me now.
NOW
DAN AND PHIL
i’m a new phannie, i joined the phandom in march ‘25. but they still mean so fucking much to me. i was very depressed when i first found them, i was watching them alot. and when i found Dan’s videos, “Basically, i’m gay” and “Daniel and Depression”, they actually helped me. they helped me think about it, i have been alot happier since finding dan and phil. they both make me laugh and smile and make me forget all my bad thoughts for a while while watching them. they have made me realise it’s okay to be depressed, its okay to be mentally ill. that it’s just a part of life, really. i really enjoy their old videos too, they were so cute. it sucks to know they were hiding such a big part of themselves in the old videos, but that doesnt mean i cant enjoy them. i love the fact their more open and i’m so glad they’ve slowly trusted the phandom over the years. without them, i truly dont know if i would even be here right now! which might be dramatic, but still. all my friends know i’m into them. not to mention, due to dan i both realised i am trans and brought up the courage to tell my friends. especially dans quote, “embrace the void and have the courage to exist” means so much to me. dan and phil are my favorite people ever, and i’m so happy to be a part of the phandom. they are also another reason i’m alt, or, why i’m scemo. (honestly who would not want to look like the danisnotonfire merch line, bcuz i do. also 2011 DAN HOWELL?? gender envy..) i love phil too, of course!! (can you tell i’m a dannie..) i love his whimsy alot. he’s so funny and the cutest person ever. he’s so awwwww his bleached hair looks SO GOOD on him. ngl every hair cut looked good on him. the quiff is so good too. love the quiff.
i’m so glad they came out and told everyone they’re together. so happy they got up the courage, and i’m so proud of them. they make me so happy in life, and i dont think i would be who i am today if i didnt find them, (or got them brought up to me, because someone else introduced me to them) but yeah. thats it .
thanks for reading <3

love how honest this is — it really shows how art & media can shape us 💜 nice to see something real for once and not just whatever the algorithm spits out
