Evan: Hi, so today I'm joining my good friends Luke and Lucy
Evan: Luke-Cy is the ship name
Evan: if you want to ship that for future reference
Evan: Do you want to tell us what you do?
Lucy: My vids
Luke: My vids
*laughter*
Evan: The other day I got a question on one of my videos saying
" Evan do you ever fangirl over anyone, Do youtubers ever fangirl? "
And I figured That's a really interesting topic so
we're gonna talk about fangirling
yeah
who was the first person you've fangirled over?
Luke: uh.. I think I..It would either have been Charlieissocoollike or AmazingPhil
Probably AmazingPhil
uh which is embarrassing but fine
Evan: It's not embarrassing
Luke: Which is what this video is about, yeah
Evan: He's got a nice face
Lucy: When I found, I found Phil before I found Dan,
Right?
Evan: That sounds like
I found God before I turned to drugs
I found Phil before I-
*laughter*
Luke: Is Dan the drugs?
*laughter*
Lucy: but Phil is a God,
um, SO
When I found him, Phil,
I was walking to school with this girl
who was um
Evan: he was just there?
Lucy: She was famous on-
*laughter*
Luke: Why was he outside your school?
Evan: Oh, God
Phil
Lucy: I found-
Evan: Just standing up against the tree
Luke/Phil: 'ello I make youtube videos
Evan/Phil: I'll give you a seven second challenge
Lucy: Yeah, I was watching Phil when I was
I dunno like 14, I think was when I found his channel?
And I used to walk to school with this girl
who was actually famous on blogtv
Evan: I loved blogtv
Luke: woah
Lucy: I know, old school
and she was like
" oh, y-you watch Phil?
Why don't you watch Dan as well?
He's the hotter one. "
and so that was my introduction
to Dan
who was like "the hot friend"
Luke: Wow
Evan: I mean, I started watching Charlie
Charlie was like the first youtuber
I ever fangirled over
and like, one time
he DM-ed me
and I like, screamed
um
I was working at a pizza place
I remember, I was serving
pizzas and I
got a message, an email,
from youtube saying
Crabsticks has subscribed to your channel
And I legit like went (really high pitched squealing)
I I was like
It's him!
*fangirling*
I was
Luke: Just to point out
That's not, like,
He's not joking
That's how Evan screams
Like, sometimes something happens, to scare
him and he's like
(high pitched noises vaguely sounding like harreebreeeuh)
Evan: That's just how I scream
but like, before youtube happened
I used to fangirl a lot over
like certain bands like
Reliant K
I used to really fangirl over like
everyone in the band
Owl City, Adam Young
I used to be a big fangirl of them
Lucy: I remember when I met you,
you were seriously into Owl City
Evan: Oh man, I still am
Lucy: at 16/20/11 I got a photo
with Charlie
but because everyone else was
I was like " yeah I will! "
because I did like him,
and then, I've got one with bribry
and they're both just chillin out
on my facebook
Evan: Me and Luke have this great picture where
we went in a que
for jacksfilms
and charlieissocoollike
Luke: that's where we met for the first time
Lucy: Ariana Grande,
they actually takes all like they do all the
fan photos
then she gets photo shopped then they
send them back to the fans
Evan: Really? Luke: Woah
Evan: It's like, you know Avril Lavigne's fan photos
She doesn't touch them
They're like "stand there"
Lucy: That's weird
Luke: It's great, It's fantastic
Lucy: but then maybe she got a really bad case of head lice
That's always my fear when I meet and greet people
Now I'm gonna get a bad case of headlice
Evan: I've never once thought about anyone having head lice
Luke: and you'll have the picture and there will just be this like bug
hopping between you
Lucy: you'll catch them off someone,
because you meet
when you meet people you meet like
150
200 people
Luke: I always get ill, but I've never got headlice
Evan: no, I've never gotten head lice
Lucy: Okay, good. Neither have I.
Evan: So, what is the most cringy thing, you have ever done while fangirling over someone?
Lucy: Apparently, I asked Dean Dobs(?) to collab one time when I was drunk
Luke: I don't have a specific instance in which I was an embarrassment fangirling
I was just an embarrassment for sort of two or three years of my life
Evan: Yeah
Luke: There was no specific like, "This is the worst one." Cause it was all just a mess.
Lucy: Have I ever told you, Luke? I went to one of your meet- I went to your meet in North Hampton
Evan: Oh my god Luke: What-
Lucy: That was where I met Dodie
Lucy: So, at the meetup Evan: Oh, wow
Lucy: So, Luke held a meetup in North Hampton, and I was like Evan: Do you want to meet up so you can... [unintelligible]
Lucy: You go to meet up, go to gatherings, go to everything
Evan: That's how I met a lot of my Luke: Cause that's how I met Dodie. Dodie came to my meetup
Lucy: It was the one in North Hampton in the big building Luke: Um, with Bertie.
Lucy: Yeah. Evan: Oh yeah!
Luke: So we first met there, and there's this picture of us and we look all happy. Lucy: Is that the one where you stage dived off the thing?
Luke: Yeah. Oh my god.
Evan: I fangirled once by accident in an airport, I said this before on my channel. I was just in a queue for customs at Heathrow
And John Tron(?)was standing next to me in line and I screamed his name.
Evan: This was like maybe a couple months ago
Lucy: Woooow. Oh my Evan: I just went, "J-John-tron"
Evan: And he went "H-h-Hi" and he got so uncomfortable and it was my fault and mm-mmm
Evan: Like, fans will come up to me and say, "oh, I'm really sorry about that time that you totally forgot that I'm now bringing up to remind you of this time I made you uncomfortable"
And I'm like, "well, now I remember it."
And you've reaffirmed it in my head. So that's what I did with John as well. I went, "Hey, remember that time I made you uncomfortable and you don't?"
"Now you do."
Evan: Uh, so. I feel like that's the number one thing, like, also when I meet people that I'm interested in, is, I never say
"Oh, I'm really sorry, I'm really uncomfortable." Cause then it makes everyone uncomfortable.
"I'm socially awkward." Even if you are,
If you pretend that person wants to meet you as much as you want to meet them, it makes. That's how you become confident, so...
Lucy: And also, a lot of the time, people, like, people who are celebrities on some level, including youtubers
Do want to meet everyone. Evan: Oh yeah
Lucy: You know?
Lucy: They get so much out of the experience as even though they're brief
Luke: That's true, although, I- like- um, I Evan: Don't?
Luke: I hate everybody Evan: [with an accent] I hate my fans
[laughter]
Evan: [with an accent] who wants to make Luke Cupforth[??]
[laughter]
Luke: So, I had the opposite experience of you. So, I like, and I won't mention any names but I was like, I fangirled all over plenty of youtubers growing up and so I
Started when I was 15, and so, naturally, like
Luke: I- I was very fangirly on youtube. I actually, like, the majority of them, I tried to get in contact with them or talk to them about stuff
Evan: Oh yeah Luke: And, like, the majority of them just completely ignored me. Evan: They ignored you
Luke: And completely, like even to this day, a lot of people. Because
I was this fanboy person. So I now make a really big effort, to like, even if there are smaller youtubers who fanboy over me, whatever, or they're excited. I make the effort
of like, I'm not gonna be like that
Cause I know how much that hurt me growing up
Evan: That's my tea
[laughter]
Luke(or Evan maybe?) For Fuck's sake
[laughter]
Luke: So, this girl came up to me and you, walking somewhere, and she was like, "can I get a picture?"
As a joke you went, "um can't you see how busy we are?"
Lucy: oh my god Luke: And she was like, "noooooo"
Luke:And you were like, "I'm joking. Evan: I love making Lucy: If you said that to me as a subscriber, I would cry
Evan: I love making jokes with fans, and so sometimes, when people say like, can I get a photo, I'm like, "Are you kidding me? Do you see how busy I am? Do you see me walking?"
And I try and be as serious as possible and they're face just goes like, [makes face] and I'm like, "Oh, no, I'm just kidding, I'm just kidding, I'm just kidding, it was a joke."
Luke: that's horrible. Evan: Is that bad, do you think.... I'm joking with them!
Lucy: When I was 13, I was in boots, and this is probably scarring Evan: Not like the shoes, in England we have a pharmacy called boots.
Luke: I climbed inside the boot Evan: Looking for a snake
Evan: Who's gonna wear boots tonight?[?]
Lucy: And, I hear someone yell, "oh my god, is that girl shoplifting?" And I
I freaked out, and it was my friend's mum, who thought it was a really funny thing to do, to like, yell "Is that girl shoplifting?" Evan: It's not that funny
Lucy: Think about how that feels? Evan: Mine was a joke with one person
It wasn't like, "Hey everyone, look at this gir- You know what I'm saying? Lucy: Yeah
Evan: I don't know, it's just a joke between two people, and I also made sure, she was like, "By the way, just a prank, bro."
Evan: Smash that like button
Lucy: I bought a bunch of nanalu(?) stuff one time
Evan: I bought Charlie's albums, freaking great. I bought Dodie's album
It's great
Evan: I used to have a LOT of Reliant K merch, like, everything they made basically
Lucy: I don't want to buy merch unless the design is really cool and really like something I would wear
Evan: Speaking of merch that's like really good and nice to wear
I just came out with merch this week, oh my god, what a perfect plug
Lucy: Oh my god Evan: You know what? I've got cactus shirts, I've got... It's all online, ships worldwide, amazing. The creator store dot com. Go for it today
Thanks, thanks, Luke
Evan: I'm very happy Lucy: His face just dropped. Evan: I've been- I've been like preparing for this merch drop for like two three months, and
everyone's been asking for it, and here it is get it toda- thanks.
Evan: Do you think it's okay to fangirl, then, or do you think you should stay chill?
Lucy: I think you should try not to do behaviors that intimidate
Evan: Yeah, screaming Lucy: Yeah Evan: I had a girl come up to me once, like, screaming
Evan: And shaking, and that made me start to freak out
Luke: When me and Emma broke up I had a few people come up to me and be Like, "I loved you and Emma's relationship, and I was like, Uh
Evan: I mean I've gotten a couple of people that are like, "Oh, I'm sorry to hear about your dad," and I was like, "Oh, I wasn't thinking about him, but now I am"
Lucy: Yeah Evan: Thanks.
It's almost like I have a wound, that's like, healing over, and then someone just goes [ripping sound] "Hey buddy"
Evan: How's your dad doing in there?
Luke: "You guys wanna get fucked? [?????]
Evan: Yes, I've fangirled quite a lot in my life, and I still do over a lot of people
Evan: Porter Robinson, one of my favorite musicians, he just replied to one of my comments on his YouTube video saying thanks, Evan
He, he named me.
And I screamed
This was like two weeks ago. I'm- I was very excited [pop]
So, like, I think it's completely okay to fangirl and I think the negative stigma/stereotypes are dumb
Luke: I think so too. I mean- Evan: If you like something, it shouldn't
Evan: You shouldn't be put down for liking something Luke: Yeah
Luke: No. Fangirling is essentially, like, just you love this thing, so much that you can't put it into words and
so your body hyperventilates, and is like, yeah, that's fine, that's great
and then it's like a, like I don't, whenever someone does that for me, I don't
ever think I deserve it necessarily, but. Evan: No, I never do
Luke: It's like Evan: Definitely not
Evan: I'm just... Sorry.
Luke: Something to take that, and then judge someone for it
Evan: Oh, I hate that
Luke: yeah, it's Evan: It's mostly in the media where it's like, look at these millennials, all screaming over him, like it's
Evan: Everyone likes things Luke: Imagine the brain process of being like, "Um,
"Oh, do you like hanging out with this person? Oh no, he loves me too much."
Like, what?
Evan: I mean, but too keen yo[???] Luke: But, he enjoys it too much. He enjoys my work too much so I don't want to speak to him
Luke: Like, what the- that's stupid Lucy: Yeah
Evan: I'm always afraid that if I liked Dodie's stuff too much she wouldn't like me cause
It was like, she comes out with a new song and I'm like, "i love it." So I had to be like, Dodie's fine. Okay, it's nice
Cause I don't know, I was afraid of liking it too much and then
she might think I'm too, um, full on, you know?
Lucy: There's an argument for not being obsessive
Evan: Obsessive, yeah Luke: Mmm
Lucy: I love you and I bought your merch because I want to support you so much and I did this and I did that and I did that
Evan: You would feel uncomfortable that I own your merch?
Evan: I really like your designs. Lucy: No, no no. Like, well, like. Evan: Closes drawer. I bought a
Zooela shirt once and I really like it and I wore it in a video. I just really like, I really like the design, had a nice message
Evan: Upsettingly, she did see it though, and I went, I felt bad
Evan: I felt uncomfortable, but she was like, "I like your shirt," and I was like, [breathes]
Lucy: But that's different, because you start and you're like, that's a nice design." You weren't like,
"All the merch," you know?
Evan: True, I just liked that one Zoe shirt
Evan: If you like buying merch from creators, be sure to buy- no I'm not
Evan: If you enjoyed this video, be sure to give it a big tumbs up, that'd be nice, and also subscribe, and bell all of us. Give us
all bells. Luke: Bells so bad. Lucy: Oh my god, actually do

Evan: Also buy my merch. Luke: Subscribe
[unintelligible]
Luke: On the flipside of it, you were saying, they were saying that they will meet you, a lot of, I had lots who didn't want to meet me, and that's, yeah
It sucks. Spawn? Evan: you said flipside. Lucy: Oh my god
Evan: [with accent?] it makes me want to buy merch tonight [???]
Lucy: She's ginger and she's lovely, but she just breaks
Luke: I like that, by the way
She's ginger Evan: And she's lovely Luke: It's fine. She like a nice, you know, a good ginger
