@aurora._.42: the way people still didnt leave him alone after that video#aurora_42 #danielhowell #danisnotonfire #danhowell

🧿💀Maxl💀🧿 :

I wish young Dan knew how safe and happy he would feel one day

katie finds photos :

whyyyy wouldn’t ppl just leave him alone :/ it’s so sad too bc ppl were so much more homophobic back then so there is a lot of truth in him saying “would u stop watching me?”

🇵🇸🤍 :

“Would you stop watching my videos?” 😢 damn.

rachel :

They never left him alone :(

frankie 🌀 :

the audio actually makes me cry the way his voice cracks and he stutterssAAAA STOP

🐽 mouse ʕ⁎̯͡⁎ʔ༄ COMS OPEN! 🌽 :

I watched almost all of these in real time ugh im so relieved they finally feel safe enough to be themselves 😭

say🩰 :

this made me sad

Pip :

he was so scared back then 😭 im so proud of how far he has come

⋆.ೃ࿔*:･ :

he had every right to be as private as he was, especially with his past experiences, but it's really nice and refreshing to see that he's finally felt safe enough to feel comfortable to tell people

Mimi K :

I forgot about the Russian hat era

Adrie :

hanna :

i can’t imagine the feelings phil might’ve felt hearing dan say that while they’re in a relationship. i’m really glad he was patient with dan but i would imagine it might’ve still hurt a bit

No One :

As someone who was also closeted during this time, this era still makes me so sad.

Megan Hindman :

They were SO mean to him we don’t deserve him and I’m so glad he’s happy and safe in his identity now. In spite of it all. We love you Dan, we’re glad you’re here ♥️

Bubbles ⦻ :

That’s my big brother 😩

Konji :

Oh my dear Daniel :(

J :

Oh I’m crying

mars ᖭི༏ᖫྀ :

no one wears an ushanka like him

Liam :

that poor guy

the oceⒶn 🏴‍☠️ :

my baby actually

felicia (taylor’s version) :

in the very beginning of his channel he mentions wanting a boyfriend. i’m not even sure he realized he said it. i didn’t catch it until years later. makes me sad he felt he had to wait this long to be out publicly

Liv :

“Would you stop watching my videos”😭

ava ⚞•⚟ :

he was just a baby omg :(( i wish younger dan could see where he is now.

biscuitthesiamese :

God this is really heartbreaking to watch back. I wish he could see himself now❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️fuck, man.

😵‍💫 :

the fact that people were constantly asking him just proves that it wasn’t safe for him to come out. forcing someone out of the closet is an invasion of privacy, and they would not have left it alone.
