You know the trope where Dan/Phil can
draw really well and always draw each other? And
if Phil's the artist half the story talks about his
"pretty sky eyes"? (No diss, they're all great) (Many of them)
What about a story where Dan/Phil can't
draw, and use the lack of skill to
charm and amuse Phil/Dan?

Like they draw a bunch of bad stick figures
of teachers and people in class, and always find a way
to hide the stick figures in the other's locker. At first
Phil/Dan can't tell who it is, but they realize Dan/Phil
(JESUS) is always drawing and smirking at them, but
is never around to confront?

/// this isn't really *reverse trope* but as i started typing the idea i gradually started to love it
