Dan & Phil Part 94: Year of the Rats

Amiaw · Tue Apr 07, 2020 8:07 pm

Phil’s live show was so fun. The quiz with his sparkly bow tie and the drawing game were great and i even laughed the story because he was so amused by it.

I only caught the last part of the live show but it totally lifted my mood. It was silly and high energy and I was super excited to do an actual drawing game with him, since I wasn't around for when he used to do those.

That was such a nice liveshow and I had a bit of feels at the comeback of the drawing game. When he put on the bowtie I just :happytears:

the cutest man

Also new video soon which I'm assuming means around Easter?

I caught the first 30 minutes before Younow broke for me, he really cheered me up the hamster in the bath story is so Phil, I know he says he needs a haircut but I loved his hair today.

My wifi gave up while he was doing the madlibs things so I'll need to catch the end in a reupload later but it was a truly lovely liveshow. I could get used to him staying on for the whole hour (but I won't get my hopes up).

Also, this classic video got uploaded three(!) years ago today. Or technically yesterday. Shush, time is fake.

Just watched the livestream! He has such uplifting vibes, especially after a long day at work! I liked the quiz and I always love when he talks about Buffy.

time IS fake because i would not have guessed that this was only 3 years ago! that seems forever ago in the dnp timeline but then i also think about how they've been publicly out less than a year and that feels fake too.

i finally got to watch a phil liveshow live because of the whole not working thing started......and gosh he just makes me so happy. i appreciate so much that he continues to put out content during this time........ but then i also think about how he also put out content while his dad was very sick and we had no idea. i hope he's taking lots of time for himself too.

Did you know that Dan dated Lucy Hale?

Because, you know, it must be true. "It has been reported!" (re: her answer to people saying no, he didn't date Lucy Hale, in the comments.)

kavat · Wed Apr 08, 2020 7:24 pm

Siiigh. She's obviously done the most surface level research for this so she could make a video with a very clickable title. The Lucy Hale thing just shows that she put 0 energy into fact checking.

Wed Apr 08, 2020 7:31 pm

Is there an unspoken rule between people who make those garbage WHAT HAPPENED TO X video to never have their facts straight? If they ever invent a time machine within my lifetime, I'm gonna steal it and then use it to find whoever started the Lucy Hale rumor and kick them in the head. I won't watch it because I've suffered through one too many kpop versions of the same video concept and I wanna keep my good mood, but uuuuuugh.

Instastories from yesterday for those who hadn't seen them yet:

And she deleted the video. Don’t understand why people try to make videos about dnp, Phandom never really reacts well ever. I remember one time Anthony said he wanted to make a video hanging out with a phandom member and then immediately decided not to after getting a lot of push back from phandom.

I feel slightly bad because I don't have anything against her as a person, but man... a first-page-results google search is not where you need to end with the research before putting out a video like that.

Phanshy · Thu Apr 09, 2020 12:20 am

I've never heard of her before, honestly I found the video funny rather than annoying, the complete lack of research isn't a good reflection on her though so probably best she privated it because if I was a regular viewer of hers I wouldn't be able to trust information she puts in her videos, since she doesn't seem to do the most basic of fact checking.

Susanisnotafish · Thu Apr 09, 2020 11:09 pm

In light of nobody posting in almost 24 hours, how about we discuss this? (Sorry if this is old news.). And I don’t have a foot fetish, but everything about Dan is cute.

Who dared give Dan’s feet only 1 star?

Fri Apr 10, 2020 12:10 am

Wikifeet is... special. But I'm sure that as far as feet go, Dan's are beautiful.

In very important throwback news, it's been 5 years since the universe was against #Dick.

Which obviously also means that it's also been 5 years since the start of Japhan and this god tier couple selfie!

Did you know I love Dan?

I am glad he's got stuff to work on - I imagine he and Phil are both putting a lot into the creative productivity side of their projects right now. It's probably a lot (mentally) healthier right now with the quarantine that they have their own things to be invested in, and to bring to each other to talk about instead of something that's a joint project where they'd be sharing thoughts every step of the way. Am I making any sense? Like they get to have constantly evolving conversational topics and be a sounding board for each other. God I'd love to be a fly on the wall right now. (Tiny fly wearing tiny cloth mask.)

Also, I just love him.

noodlebum · Fri Apr 10, 2020 5:46 pm

I reckon he's pretty confident on this stuff coming out sometime this year too, with the way we was talking about them? Like confident whatever he's planning will actually happen in some way (probably a digital show/performance rather than in theatres due to corona).

Also I would like to see his hair in hedgerow-levels of bushy

I wonder if he's deciding to go back to his roots some and scale down the budget/production level to have more personal control? Because there's a lot he (with Phil's help) can do by himself from home though that'd still suck if he was hoping to have something picked up by a bigger company with a budget.

kavat · Fri Apr 10, 2020 6:00 pm

It feels so good to see him explicitly mentioning working on things (plural!). Even if we knew he was, it's just nice to see him actually talk about it!

Morganaa · Fri Apr 10, 2020 6:57 pm

My first post here... Sorry it looks like this,im normally not that pessimistic, i swear!
(Mhm, not at all...) But i'll try my best to not be the one always complaining - actually i consider myself pretty easy to please, so it shouldnt be a problem at all) but anyway:

NEGATIVITY ALERT!

Yeah, exacty - talking. That's the biggest problem here- he's been talking like this since what, a year? Year and a half? Honestly, im just sick and tired of this bullshit at this point- most of my frustration is caused by a COMPLETE lack of communication(chicka chicka Slim Shady with my unintentional rhymes here) and disappearing for months without a word(i guess it's gotta be really hard to go ANYWHERE and type something like "Sorry, i have a lot of work and shit to do, im busy, may be going AWOL more often"(literally a few words) then vaguely mentioning something aboug a project and expecting people to care fof whatever he's doing. And let's be real,they probably will,but i aint one of them anymore. I probably wont even want to check it out if he drops anything(see how i used IF instead of WHEN? yes,because frankly,i dont even believe in any "secret mind blowing projects" anymore - we've been fed enough lies lately, i'll believe in it when i see it. Untill then - no project exist to me and he's unemployed, sitting at home doing basically nothing, at least in my head. And you may go ahead and tell me no one owes me anything, and you're a 100% righg - just like i dont owe them anything. Hence, i ran out of patience as a consumer - i just cant bring myself to be excited when i feel i've been treated like shit for a long,LONG time.

like i said, my first post here! if i hopefully dont get slaughtered for what i just wrote - hello there everyone, wassup?

Dan’s original tweet was kinda generic and blah but it’s nice that he actually replied about what he been up to. His replies sounded positive so that’s nice, I’m kinda looking forward to seeing what he does now. My original hope was that it would be online and his reply about reinterpreting things around the lockdown makes it sound like it will be. Anyways I’m looking forward to Phil’s liveshow this weekend, I’ll probably miss it but I’ll rewatch later. Also I may be delusional but I’m hoping for a vid this weekend, maybe kinda Easter themed.
