Damangela - Blog Posts

Ok but DAMANGELA 2T1L WHEN??? 😩

"you guys are not normal about damangela" yes but not in the way you all are insinuating. i rotate them in my brain like a rotisserie chicken when i need to calm down. try it. it's freeing. do not be limited to the confines of normalcy.

I’m sorry, but why is other anon saying we’re not normal about damangela? It’s not like we’re stalking their family’s accounts trying to get info about them, or invading either of their privacy. We literally just acknowledge moments in videos that we enjoy and gush over that for a bit. If anything, I feel like we’re among the more normal fans tbh.

I think a lot of people just think that damangela in general is weird for some reason so they're probably biased tbh. I also think people are more wary about straight ships in general for some reason. Like they think that they are more likely to happen than most of the queer (or married) ships so they think that people who do ship damangela really think they are together?? It seems like the general public started catching on to them around the time of the shourtney wedding too so maybe they think *we* think they're the next shourtney or something?? Idk tbh lol.

But yeah I agree! We're just acknowledging cute/fun moments between them and then people who ship them more might gush a little longer, but then that's it. We keep it pretty tame and normal imo. I honestly don't see how damangela fans are any different than fans of any other smosh ship but clearly some people disagree lol 🤷‍♀️

What if we all kissed? No.

I just realized that BOTH of Damien and Angela's reddit stories were posted in July so that means we're gonna get Damien and Angela back on the couch and get another Reddit Stories in July!

I love Damien’s unflinching support for Angela’s one-sided rivalry with him.

"but why do you even ship them-" IT BRINGS ME JOY AND WHIMSY!!!!!!!

Just Angela batting her eyes at Damien

GUYS! My origin story!! 😭🥹

I love being the only one submitting posts cuz y’all always know it’s me. Just your resident annoying Damangela anon✌️ /hj

It’s fun seeing my inbox full of “submitted by”s lmao I love it

"oh damien's laugh is still kinda the same" 🥹

x

REAL! We need more pictures of them together!

It's also so weird to me how smoshtwt threw a fit because he posted pictures with Angela in them like two times. Like girl bffr

I think a big part of Smosh community, particularly on Twitter, is straight up vile. Much of the Damien hate is rooted in not liking his "vibes", or "the way he speaks". Like I've seen people unironically tweet saying Damien should just shut up and not talk because it annoys them when he talks. I've seen these same people claim that Angela hates him, or how Damien is trying to take advantage of Angela to make himself more popular because he's become a forgotten Smosh member or some stuff like that. Genuinely horrid shit that they spout with zero shame. Absolute losers.

So much of it is rooted in ableism because of him being autistic. It's fucked up and the people who act like that need to grow the hell up. Didn't your parents ever tell you that if you don't have anything nice to say, you shouldn't say anything at all?

When you are actively a 'hater', I consider you to be more of a fan than an actual fan, since it's all you ever talk about. These people talk about Damien and Damangela more than the actual people who stan Damien and ship Damangela to begin with! Then they turn around and complain that those people are mad at them and talking to them and it's just like... no shit? You expect people to just let you run your ableist little mouth and not have someone tell you to shut the hell up? You don't get to just talk trash about people scot free, my guys. It's beyond immature, it's beyond pathetic, and one day you're going to look back at your behavior and be embarrassed as shit and I hope that day comes sooner rather than later.

The only ship that gets shit on so hard is Damangela, because as far as I can tell everyone has decided on their own that Angela is a lesbian, and she isn't. She also cares about Damien very much. Did you guys all miss her on Perfect Person saying she sought him out drunkenly just to tell him emphatically how much she loves him and appreciates him? People have made up that she hates him just because their dynamic isn't in your face and it's ridiculous, and knowing what I know about Angela, she wouldn't appreciate people deciding she hates one of her friends. It's not cool and it's childish to do.

Sorry for the length and the rant but I'm so, so tired of this behavior. It's just middle school bullying all over again.

I saw another anon talking about not really getting all the Damangela hype so, I think what a lot of people get wrong about how Ang reacts to what Damien says is- It's all on camera. In front of HUGE groups of people on a set. There's no way in hell I'd be openly flirting with anybody in that kind of scenario! if I can be slightly delusional- I don't think she knows how to talk herself out of a lot of the scenarios he puts her in. Not in a bad way! but in a "brain is not working, handsome man just said something sweet and is paying so much attention to me" way! and her best response is to ignore or deflect

She obviously has a big soft spot for him (almost bigger than his for her), with her constantly reassuring him when he does things well, yes-and-ing his jokes, and forcefully pulling him into convos. (and practically standing on him in tntls😊)

I can kind of see where people are coming from with "she's just like that!" "she tries to make everyone feel good!" but there's too many little things she does that makes it apparent she truly cares a lot for the guy

A great example is him flirting with her as Todd. She had no idea what to do. She's admitted on the Pretty Gay podcast that she kind of struggles with flirtation and how to react to it sometimes, or how to reciprocate, whether it's a playful thing or something with intention behind it.

It's just very clear when you watch them together that they really care about each other to me. It's far more subtle than say, Shayne and Damien's dynamic, so I can see why a lot of people miss things. They speak their own little language.

For anyone who thinks she doesn't like him, watch some compilations of the two of them and pay attention to the small things.

for damangela moments, you brought up baf legacy but i must also throw out sword af season 1. so full of entranced looks from angela, and more than one of damien's characters call angela their favorite

Sword af my beloved!! I miss my sword af heros so much! 😔 But yes, season one had so many good damangela moments! Especially with Bug and Gunthar. He was SO sweet hyping her up, and I know it was just for the show but I swear sometimes it felt like it was also Angela and not just Bug reacting to the supportive things he said

Heyyyy out of curiosity do you have any damien/angela fics/art/moments/etc you'd recommend? I've been exploring Amanda/Angela stuff for a bit & occasionally would see damien/angela mentioned when i explored the smosh tag, but I haven't actually seen anythin for it yet. Would love to see more tho :0

I feel like I haven't really seen any damangela art (but if anyone wants to self promote I want to see lol), but I can give you some of my fav fics and compilations!

For compilations, @guessitrunsinthegenes is the GOAT for damangela compilations. Seriously go check out eir youtube channel! His stuff is so great! Also as an og damangela fan, I feel like I need to link this don't win Mario party livestream compilation. I remember when this was just an unlisted video like this is such an important part of our history I feel like lmao. The Angela rubbing Damien's ear moment was the ONE thing that kept me delusional and kinda shipping them for the longest time (not in a "they're actually secretly dating" kind of way but like it was the one thing that was a kinda shippy moment for a while iykwim).

There are probably so many smosh videos with Damien and Angela moments and if I actually put more than 5 seconds of thought into it, I could probably list like 15 videos here, but two of my favorite videos that I thought of off the top of my head are the You Posted That and that one off Betrayal video!

I can probably think of more and maybe I'll edit this to add more of my favs later but these are two good damangela videos!

For fanfics, an oldie but a goodie, but I love The Hoodie Stream! Just Angela stealing Damien's hoodie and accidentally wearing it on stream and it become A Thing™️. It's just cute. I love it

And I've spent too long writing this post and I don't feel like finding more fics to add lol, so I'll end it here and again maybe edit to add more fics later!

Also guys, if you want, please take this opportunity to drop your favorite damangela videos, compilations, edits, fanfics, etc. Maybe we can turn this into a giant favorite damangela content thread!

Edited to add more videos:

HOLY SHIT HOW COULD I FORGET THE EPIC THREE VIDEO RUN OF "This Game Broke Kickstarter (ft. CircleToonsHD),"Cards Against Humanity Family Edition Is UNHINGED," AND "Who Is The Killer? ft. Thomas Sanders"??? THATS THE TRIO OF VIDEOS THAT MADE ME START PAYING ATTENTION TO THEM AS A DUO! I remember ANXIOUSLY waiting for October 27th when the Getting WAY Too Personal video came out to get context for "yesterday you told everyone I know EXACTLY what I sound like during sex how does THAT feel ANGELA" 😭😭

Of course THE video that made the general public start paying attention to them "I know Damien's" itself

The category is your favorite duos playing a couple arguing

So talking about amanda and angela wanting to kiss with tongue is normal but us saying damien and angela are looking at each other more fondly recently and thinking it's sweet is weird and we're freaks.... interesting.. it's almost like shipping real people isn't actually the problem 🧐🤔

You know the "you attract what you fear ahhh ___" meme? I feel like smoshtwt accidentally does that with damangela because literally every time they hate on damangela, we get some really good content from them lmao. Like they hated on damangela and then we got the Perfect Person podcast, they hated on damangela and then like a week later we got Todd x Angela and now this week they've been hating on them again and we got them playing a couple in TNTL and the fun Gus and Tater moments in this week's spud hut. I mean Angela giving him that cricket and then both of them spitting them out of their mouths was so funny and then obviously Angela crying on his shoulder and putting her hand over his mouth while he comforts her by singing and rubbing her head was cute.

Also I mentioned this in the tags of a post I reblogged but I feel like Angela and Damien have both made it seem like they aren't always super comfortable with physical touch? Like it might've been exaggerated but still I remember Angela flinching a lot and/or backing away whenever someone touched her for a while, and I can't think of an example for Damien off the top of my head and it might just be an autism stereotype I'm thinking of (😅) but I feel like Damien has spoken about that before, so I feel like them being comfortable enough to be all up on each other like that proves that they are in fact friends and close and she *doesn't* just hate him and feel uncomfortable around him.

This is so cute

smosh games video but it's just damien/angela/amanda watching damien play dark souls and infodump about all the lore. amanda is teasing angela and damien obviously. amangela and damangela gets fed, spencer gets to make his witty offscreen digs, we all win. @ smosh you have 24 hours to respond

Smosh out of context (for legal reasons I feel like I need to specify that this is a joke lmao)

ngl i think the real reason people hate the idea of damangela as a duo is because they personally dislike damien and project themselves onto their favs so hard they can't imagine angela caring for him when they don't. people are so weird towards angela in that regard where they'll write off her own words about damien just so they can push this agenda that they aren't friends. like if you're actively dismissing someone's feelings and the things they've expressed to fit your agenda how can you say you care about them? damien and angela are my favorite cast members independently of one another (fan of them both through smosh and their other ventures off the channels) and over the past year i started to really enjoy their dynamic so damangela also became one of my favorite duos. being a fan of them both separately of one another allowed me to notice how often they talk about one another, praise one another, and generally appreciate one another even before i started seeing them as a duo. the hate they get just feels so... distinctly targeted in a very strange way and i can only explain it through the lens of it being projection.

I sadly think you might be right. Bc even with other Damien duos, people think he has no chemistry with anyone. Some people really think no one there likes Damien and he “tries hard” to be their friend which is not true. Angela specifically has shown time and time again she likes Damien and vice versa. As you said, they mention each other a lot and say nothing but nice things. And it’s fine if not everyone likes Damien, you don’t have to, but just straight up lying saying the cast doesn’t either is very terrible honestly

Was three paragraphs in to responding to an ask when my computer froze and shut down and it didn’t save any sort of draft 😭 fml dude. I give up I’m answering it tomorrow lmaoo. Guess what the ask was about hehe (it’s literally in the tags lol) 🤭

deja vu

YALL WHY ARE THEY TALKING ABOUT A "DARK SINISTER AIR" AND "THE ROOM IS GETTING DARKER" WITH DAMIEN AND ANGELA???? WHAT THE FUCK DO THEY MEAN BY THAT?? 😭

also "have you ever seen someone’s spirit die live on camera" and it's just Angela singing Dancing Through Life and Damien being kinda confused because he hasn't seen the movie and doesn't know the scene and him moving away from Angela to let Amanda in if she wanted after Angela motioned her over to her??? I literally don't see anything wrong with that clip at all but like 10 people are talking about how embarrassing it is?? I feel like I'm getting gaslit fr..

I'm sorry they are 10x weirder than we could ever be like why are they trying to imply that Damien is making Angela uncomfortable and will do something bad to her or something????

Made the mistake of going to twitter again... smoshtwt once again hating on Damangela and Damien for no reason 🙄

They're still on their "Angela doesn't like Damien" bullshit. I saw someone talk about how they tried to get into Damangela just to spite people but then saw the karaoke stream and that's when they *had* to stop because it made them want to "throw up from embarrassment" because Angela moved away from him during their little part of their duet in Dancing Through Life?????

When will the antis learn that they are overanalyzing things just as much as we do. Like we say "oh they looked fondly at each other here I love how much closer they are :)" and we're the freaks but Angela was just into singing the song and moved away from Damien a bit and "omg how embarrassing for Damien and Damangela fans!! She HATES him!!!" like WE'RE ALL FREAKS HERE! We're ALL overanalyzing stuff to fit our narrative. And I mean I *do* feel like our overanalysis is at least a bit more accurate than theirs is lol but my god. Y'all need to touch grass and get a life.

Idk why they feel the need to bring Damien and Damangela up SO much if they really hate them that much. Like dude just focus on Amangela and Angela. Literally no one over there is talking about Damangela except people mocking them. I know you can say the same thing about me bringing up the antis because they don't really come over here that often (except to occasionally say that a damangela art or fanfic should've been amangela lol) but idc. At least I'm self aware about it 😭 They think they're sooo much better than us but at least I know I'm a little weird. Getting invested in ANY smosh dynamic is kinda weird. Damangela, Amangela, Ianthony, etc. etc.
