Dan & Phil Part 37: A better way to live

[dontpanic]

Having fun in or on the way to the Isle of Man, I see.

I'm glad they are enjoying themselves.

Welp that's the most adorable thing I've ever seen. Dan looks so cute they're so married I CANNOT. I love how a few years ago we all would've freaked out about Dan going on a Lester getaway for Phil's birthday ALONG with the "friends get together." Like they're basically a couple and no one freaks out about it anymore, if they want to be lowkey open about their relationship so it's accepted without being a focal point they are doing an amazing job.

whelp I've officially reached peak fond for those two I agree, it's so nice how calm the fandom is about these kind of things, I can imagine the twitter/tumblr meltdown that would have happened before.

D&P's twitters have become a godsend tbh, and Dan looks so young here

And waaaaaht? I'm going to be out all day today of course they have to post the video now

Edit: didn't deppy encourage people calling themselves "phans" whenever they like saw dan vs. phil fan fights in liveshows and stuff? I'm pretty sure I remember that happened at least once

Edit:

The sign behind them says iom - does that mean they're already there? Or is that still on the way?

if i'm reading it right, it says "iomstamps.com", which redirects to the iom post office website, which would probably only be advertised on the iom itself, so i'm guessing they're already there.

I didn't know NASA had an installation there...

Is that a ferry terminal?

[anushwa]

Looks like Phil's confused about whose birthday it is. Either that or he's still trying to tell us the truth before his birthday as Dan said he wanted to

That tweet....... That's the cutest Dan has ever been oh my fragile heart

It's here.

Okay but the fact that they openly acknowledged they were together and even had that background (dont tell me tactical/zoomy" Phil didnt see it) is such a growth from the fathers day trip. They even saved us the work of trying to figure out where they were and explicitly said we are together with Phil's family". I hope this runs thorughout their stay and we see some pics or videos? (LessAmazingPhill still exists ) with Dan and the family.....ew theyre gross and happy

ikr!?! I was afraid we might have to investigate birthday-gate (of course they will leave plenty if not all of the details out so we still need our skills.

Off topic: I just want to say thank you to the hundreds of thousands of Brits who have signed a petition to keep Trump out of the UK because of his recent Muslim ban in America. America needs all the support we can get right now. The White House statement on yesterday's International Holocaust Remembrance Day didn't mention Jews or anti-Semitism, which is characteristic of white supremacy groups and holocaust denial.

I apologize for my rant, but Trump and his administration are wasting no time implementing their hateful, bigoted, racist, misogynist agenda and I am in tears.

[pastelspectre]

i know this topic is old news now but i was in the Phandom in 2012 and oh god let me tell you did i ship Phan. i shipped it so hard. i legitimately thought they were together and after I saw the voldy video, i was convinced even more let me tell you. i was on tumblr in 2012 with the Phandom and stuff. no one really criticized me directly for shipping phan, but i did see a fuck load of posts criticizing phan shippers and telling us how gross we were for shipping it. i still ship it now, not as hardcore of course, but i still do.

it wasn't as awful in 2012 as everyone says, but it was bad. and confusing bc my shipper mind was like ??? why they do this? why do they deny it?

but i will agree that now is the best time to come out, if they were going to. if they don't, that's cool too.

also i am planning on watching that phil video later and will comment my thoughts later

[simmehchan]

Pretty average Phil video, I thought. I liked his wife's mention. I'd like to see this with Dan, though hopefully it wouldn't be too persona-y with Doom and Gloom Howell.

[papierklemmen]

and ofc Mr. Shitty is at it again!



"lots of butter and a fireman" comes to mind

[SquishPhan]

That was a very interesting video. Loved him mentioning phangate. I'm getting really excited about what Phil is going to be doing creatively this year. I'm having high hopes.

[malday]

Phil's video was ok, but he's recycling old video ideas, meh.
"i don't know if i told you this" does he think his subscribers are mostly new and they don't know the psychic grandma story?

[iero]

new vid was cute,

i never thought i'd see phil reading tea leaves and tarot cards in a video lmao

[Phantasy]

and ofc Mr. Shitty is at it again!



"lots of butter and a fireman" comes to mind

I'm sure it's not the first time Phil's had to grease Dan's ass near a phalic object

[papierklemmen]

new vid was cute,

i never thought i'd see phil reading tea leaves and tarot cards in a video lmao

he's already read tarot cards in a video before!

tbh it was a long time ago so it's nbd that he recycled the idea. i thought it was a cute, but then again i'm a sucker for phil's mindless entertainment slash comfort food videos. i feel like he's been hinting at some creative projects a lot lately, is he working on smth outside of youtube or does he mean his videos? hyped.

i bet the phangate writers are delighted that they got the third mention, now forever immortalized in phil's video!

shout out to the 2012 minority shipping discussion: the third top comment under the video is "I think Phil is gonna get a girlfriend this year for some reason" lol

[nephilimcat]

I loved the video. It was very philly, very cute, also funny and I constantly wondered if he set it up on purpose and all/most of those things were little hints to his actual future (or he is actually psychic )

More or less detailed thoughts:
- he did a video like this before where he predicted dan, even using some of the same lines if i remember correctly. i wonder if he recycled that video or simply forgot about it and had the same idea again.
- his grandmother was called dorothy? that's such a witch-name!
1:55 woha, his grandmother really was committed to this. i don't believe in this stuff, but i'd love to have a grandma like that
4:09 a project? does this mean he has a project? a cool one?
4:13 i think i have to say this and i won't be the first to do so: they are moving AND getting a dog confirmed
5:15 a glimpse of dark!phil (is that how you write it or did i just embarrass myself)
7:18 phan baby confirmed or phil's wife is pregnant or phil is...
7:34 artistic pursuits aren't all that wrong? i overused this emoji but:

[Truth_or_cliche]

New AP video was fun. I love psychic!phil. He seemed to be in a good mood and I'm very excited to see what he's got up his sleeve. His videos always leave me warm and happy and in a good mood. I was super by the end of it though. So much talk about domesticity and pregnancy and now I feel some type of way

[papierklemmen]

(or he is actually psychic )

there's a huge list of evidence suggesting that he in fact might psychic compiled by our own resident psychic spider! http://indepthbants.com/post12428.html#p12428

here:

The psychic Phil theory was brought up earlier so I collected 'proof' with help from posts at the old website. Don't know if I believe Phil is psychic but the 'proof' with Dan is a little too coincidental.

Phil predicting Dan before they met

'My first word was light.'
1:33



D&P look like Light & L from Death Note
1:37



'Sorry girls. I've chosen Daniel.'


Tarot cards - The most well known psychic Phil proof. His prediction was for the month after the video which would be March 2009. Does anyone know when he first started replying to Dan on Youtube?
2:24

Other Proof

'I had a dream within a dream. The first dream I was at a theme park with Anthony from Smosh.'
0:20

D&P at a theme park with Anthony & Kalel 12:45


Predicting snow - It did snow afterwards.

'I wish for pandas to mate and increase in population.'
11:06

First known panda triplets born in China - This was said as proof but it happened 8 months before Phil's wish.
Singapore's giant pandas Kai Kai and Jia Jia mate for first time - Right after Japhan although the pandas haven't had a baby yet.

Yeah, I know and I love it! Even though I don't really believe it's a thing that people are psychic, it always makes me wonder just a tiny bit. So many coincidences!

[papierklemmen]

yeah, i don't believe it either, but it's a funny conspiracy theory.

[pilotlight]

I'm impressed that Dan managed to wedge himself in that rocket in the first place, I'm not surprised he got stuck. What a cute couple of picture, though.

Phil's video was cute. I didn't realize there were teacups specially made for fortune telling, and I think it's sweet that he's kept some of his grandmother's things.

i thought it was a cute, but then again i'm a sucker for phil's mindless entertainment slash comfort food videos.

Same here. It was a 10-minute chill distraction and it made me smile, and that's pretty much exactly what I want from his videos. Not that I wouldn't be excited for him to try different things, but I'm happy with his standard style too.

i don't know if i told you this" does he think his subscribers are mostly new and they don't know the psychic grandma story?

From the perspective of a much newer subscriber, I appreciate the quick recap of information. There are so many random bits of trivia that maybe longtime viewers have memorized, but it's kind of overwhelming to keep track of everything if you are a newer or more casual viewer.

crying because his smile in the first picture is just gonna make me

also just imagining phil pulling out his phone to take some pictures instead of helping dan

I cri while they low key show us their married life

[Viofish]

also, thanks dan for reminding us about your fat ass

[lurker]

the video was cute! nothing specific that i'd like to mention, but it made me feel happy and positive as well, so thanks, phil! (but if you want to keep up your psychic image, you better tell us if your grandma handed the items down to you specifically because she knew you were gifted i want to know ) the fact that almost all predictions could be summed up by "happy domesticity and creativity" made me even consider if he "manipulated" some of them but then again it didn't really feel like that to me and in the end, it doesn't matter. i kind of hope he evaluates how much of that came true, i want to see the receipts for psychic!phil. didn't phil use to say that he makes dan go away/leave the room when he's filming though? now apparently he just leaves his door wide open. or was that a thing from longer ago?

also, someone please give this man a dog.

[Catallena]

Very entertaining video, even if he repeated his own video concept. It was so long ago it hardly matters.

I'm not feeling well so I'm not doing my usual bitchy commentary but I noticed a few things:

- Phil was very careful to avoid saying how old he's turning. If I'm correct he didn't say in the liveshow either. We all know it, we can all look it up, but he sure as hell isn't gonna say the number. Dan hasn't mentioned it either. Is he more sensitive about his age than we think?
- At this point 'getting a dog' is literally just code for moving, because they can't have one without the other due to their landlord's rules. So basically Phil really wants to move.
- Dan wasn't locked in the office like he said he always is when Philly is filming.

Also I hope Phil really comes though with his new creative things. And that there's no other project but a rebranding, or at least nothing outside of YouTube.


I really love how they're no longer really making a secret out of their little trips to Phil's family. If there's one thing that secures my tightly to my face it's that kind of stuff. I just don't see regular best friends do that, no matter how close they are. Ugh, adorable married pieces of shit

And Phil is such a little troll for taking pictures instead of immediately helping his husband's ass get unstuck.

[nephilimcat]

- Dan wasn't locked in the office like he said he always is when Philly is filming.

I was thinking maybe that scene was scripted and he made Dan come out of the office for that specific scene only to lock him in their again after the scene was over. Poor Daniel

[000dia000]

Today was a good day for content for one, those Dan pictures were everything, controversial opinion, I wonder if he got stuck in the contraption for the content
When I got the notification and saw the title, I was anticipating something either phan or antiphan and had to sit down and watch it to see which it would be-I'm kind of getting a neutral ground with this, so nothing unusual or different from the ordinary. One thing that did make me roll my eyes slightly is Phil's slight diversion from what he doesn't want people to think, such as the prediction about happy domesticity and he turned it into the smelling-gas schtick rather than the obvious phan implications. Though this was again used in another instance where pregnancy was mentioned and instead of what a casual might suspect of accidental pregnancy with a woman, Phil immediately diverted it to himself being pregnant I found this interesting, for him there's more chance of miraculous mpregnancy rather than the possibility of him having sex with a woman.

Overall, I found that his "predictions" were rather nice, am I'm very exciting about this creative project he's hinting at I say it is something we will hear about soon, and if not, it's definitely something he has has a sure idea of, and seeing as Dan doesn't seem to be mentioned or alluded to in these hints, I'm betting on this being an independent project and I'm very happy

EDIT:

Probably one of his kinks tbh
