For so long we accused Dan of being a furry, but here Phil was, writing Werewolves x Vampires as a teenager.

So THATS what the english language degree is for

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

not phil calling chaotic neutral "chaotic mid" 😭😭😭

THE CALL WAS COMING FROM INSIDE OF THE HOUSE THIS ENTIRE TIME

why am i surprised mr linguistics degree wrote fanfics as a teen

“Inside of you are two wolves. One is gay, the other is gay” -Phil Lester 2024

Spike: "This guy I killed was hot." Oz: "Omg that's so hot." You just don't get romance like that these days

"Inside of you are two wolves, one of them is gay and the other....is gay" might be my favorite quote

a lot of “eyes” but at least young phil resisted “orbs”

phol understood the queer allegory of vampires and werewolves before anyone else

this is absolutely INSANE to me, not because he wrote horny gay Buffy fanfic, but because it's something i would've unironically read when i was 14

little phil had no idea he would become one of the biggest fanfiction topics to exist

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😂

the gayness "not coming from his human side" but then once he accepts it he becomes more powerful? oh philly the projecting...

The photoshop visualization adds so much to this, 10/10, underrated art

this is an insane revelation...you're literally one of us

hilarious that u can tell how much fanfic phil read when he wrote this based off the wording and style he uses lmaoo

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

Love that Phil understands what it feels like to throw your hair up in a messy bun and put on some quick mascara

i can’t believe phil invented archive of our own

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

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 😭

Phil writing gay rarepair Buffy fic as a teen makes perfect sense

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” 😂

wake up babe new phil lore just dropped

I can’t believe how much this is regular fanfiction. Normally when UKpostsrs 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

18 years later and you're still somehow revealing insane stuff abt ur life online😭😭

I keep randomly thinking about the HELICOPTER HELICOPTER bit and laughing my ass off

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

"i gave myself the editing tips", is actually wild

dan and phil have always been just as nerdy and fandom-y as we all are and thats why they get us

"Oz, 5'5" guy..." "...I relate to him" You sure about that you spaghetti noodle?

oz had a gay crisis and flew away from it. king shit tbh. i need all of this

phil you are so brave, you couldn’t waterboard my middle school fanfics out of me

0:16 “and let’s not mention any sunburn or hamsters” SIR

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 :')

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

when this turns out to be a soft launch of phil's fiction novelist era...

there's something magical about the phil writing buffy fanfic to dan writing vampire phanfiction pipeline

getting this post notification whilst writing MY OWN fanfiction last night felt like a personal call-out

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

I KNEW THERE WAS A REASON HE KNEW SO MANY FIC TERMS

gay buffy the vampire fanfiction feels like a homosexual rite of passage at this point

not even under threat of death could u make me share my teenage fanfic on the internet ur so brave for this 😭😭

5:30 was fully immersed in the tension, then started dying laughing at Spike’s British accent 😂😂

And we really thought Dan was the fanfiction writer all these years, oh how foolish we’ve been

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.

Phil should've worn his "human by chance, alpha by choice" shirt for this

Years later and Phil Lester still amazes me regularly with how much I can relate to him

you wrote spike like an american who's never spoken to a british person

phil definitely put something about creative writing on his ucas application when he was really just riding the hornmobile for spike

“And let’s not mention any sunburn, or hamsters” HAD ME SCREAMING

“Inside of you there are two wolves. One is gay. The other is gay” absolutely sent me.

i actually screamed out loud at this notification

i'm glad to see that the fanfic writer to english major pipeline is alive and well

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

8:39 “bite me granddaddy!” Phil!?? i just know that’s gonna be in an out context video 😭

they couldnt waterboard this out of me

he mad fanfics AND FANEDITS???? O LORD he truly is our father

@ 9:28 "inside of you there are 2 wolves, 1 is gay... the other is gay" 😂

phil writing rarepair buffy fanfic as a teen makes so much sense he's one of us

ONE OF US ONE OF US ONE OF US

Phil you know we NEED the next chapter

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

Phil having written fanfiction before is both the most and least surprising thing I’ve heard since he came out

the labrador as a werewolf SENT me the editing on this was top tier all around

can you imagine the terror i felt getting this notification in public while trying to pay for something using my phone?

The edits in this one absolutely killed me i love this video so much 😭 also like. I’m genuinely surprised at how well-written this was????? Obviously it’s fun to lightheartedly laugh at it but I’m genuinely impressed with young Phil’s storytelling abilities

Can we just give props to the editor??? This whole vid was iconic

this is now my only buffy knowledge. i will accept all of this as canon

0:49 "I gave myself editing tips" IS SUCH A FUCKING DEEP CUT HELLO 😭

you either die a fanfic writer or live long enough to become the fanfic topic

I had an alcoholic shot every time you said moon and now I’m drunk

Still freaks me out Phil is not only aware of fanfics about him, but knowledgeable as well 😅

OR HAMSTERS???? mr lester we do not talk about *that* fic

giggling twirling my hair kicking my feet watching this video i cant believe phil wrote fanfic im-

as a Buffy fan I was NOT expecting the Spike/Oz but I approve lmao... personally I was always intrigued by the Spike/Xander dynamic

the fact that he added himself into the gay furry vampire fic really says a lot about

This feels like content I should be paying for

no notes, 10/10 writing phil 🤣 also i love the glasses and hat combo!

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...)

this is fascinating because it means that we can now write a phanfic parody of this fic

OHHHH MY GODDDDDD THE TITLE SENT ME INTO THE FUCKING STRATOSPHERE WTFFFFFF

i so appreciate the effort of putting in visuals to the fanfiction. its really coming alive now

Honestly Oz is so chill and like. Goes with whatever. I can 100% see him experimenting with a guy being cannon. Also vampire wolf is actually such a great concept. Like what would happen would he still be a werewolf????? Would he be stuck mid transformation forever??? I genuinely have so many questions now haha. Also the spike dialogue is genuinely so good and sound exactly how spike talks. Well done.

phil, i can’t say i’m surprised that you wrote gay buffy fanfics 💀

thank u phil i'm now hydrated after taking a shot of water every time the moon was mentioned

HELPPP the editing omg😭😭as a former buffy fan too this is everything i never knew i needed

Phil if you ever decide to write a novel, just know that I would buy it day 1 🙏

"OH BLOODY HELL WHAT IS THAT" SPIKE SHREIKED AS OZ'S NEW WINGS STARTED TO FLAP phil how does it feel to be the funniest person in the world

Mentioning the sunburn and hamster fic 20 seconds into the video REALLY sets the tone LMAO

As a Buffy and Phil fan, PLEASE GIVE US CHAPTER TWO KING

Lmao. Would love to see the second chapter. N if it's not safe for YT or if there isn't a third, then you can even try and write a continuation chapter too! See how current day Philly compares to his angsty teen days!

The Urge has nothing on VAMPIRE MOON

I can never look at the lamps in the background the same again

the inherent homoeroticism of vampires and werewolves thank you dad i will be waiting for chapter 2

SHUT THE FRONT DOOR- SPIKE AND OZ?!???!???!? HOLY GOD THAT'S SUCH AN UNEXPECTEDLY INCREDIBLE MATCH!!! HOW HAVE I NEVER THOUGHT OF IT BEFORE?!?!? (ok the reason prob is that im into girls.. bUT STILL!!!! nothing but respected to philly for this one, as a fellow odd ex-fanfic writer)
