fancybum you need to chill out and stop coming after everyone that disagrees with you. I understand and agree with your points but what the fuck is attacking someones personal finances going to do?? It makes no sense to be so catty on a forum where we are all strangers who like discussing two dudes. It's a trend I see, one person says an opinon and others attack it because it goes against majority and it scare new posters from feeling welcome and I'm not cool with that. Like yea, I get when someones passionate, but I also get that respect for others opinions and selves is something that should be self explanatory....
Anyway........
Catallena I agree with everything you said. This whole situation is too messy to even begin discussing. The tickets are near $250 and you don't even get to have a signature from the boys, if Dan and Phil agreed to this bullshit I'd be angry too.
I want to believe that this is a payback for booking the venues for TATINOF but we will have to wait and see when and how they address it. I'm kinda annoyed Phil didn't take the opportunity to clarify the situation about this because people are angry and confused and this would be the perfect time to tell us what's going on. But no, he pretended it didn't even occur and ignored the comments about it so yea, bad phil *slaps wrist softly*. We will probably get an answer from Dan's liveshow (if he does one) so I'm now curious on how they deal with this.
I honestly don't think they would agree to something like this. Like yea, they do try to monetize their fame, but for the most part it hasn't been in a cheap way. They don't take advantage of the audience (DAPGO aside

) and usually put work and effort into things they actively sell/profit on. Tatinof, imo, looked like it took alot of work and organizing on their parts to execute and was an enjoyable experience and worth the price. This seems like a cheap trick to manipulate young girls to throw their money at these people and I'd like to believe deppy are above that (to some extent)
Anyway salt bae aside, I really enjoyed the gaming video. I especially like the destroyer part where phil suddenly got really shy at dan teasing him and giggled into his notebook I agree with others that he seemed to carry the video and even actively teased dan about his dentist answer while smiling at him fondly. Idk the whole video was all genuine fondness and love towards each other- I also secretly think they were playing for something other than a macaroon (maybe a sweet one in someones mouth *coughs innocently*)
Phil's liveshow was so lovely, Im still sideyeying him for being an eternal sunshine and never addressing negativity but I think that's just the way he is. He lives in a little happy bubble where everyone loves them and are constantly supporting them even when they agree to do shady things like selling their souls for money hungry manipulative coordinators. Beyond that, he was so chatty and gorgeous. I loved dans gift so much and appreciated that he didn't mention it in his ls as a way to respect phils boundaries and allow him to share it to the audience in whatever way he pleased. It shows respect on dans part for phils privacy.
I especially loved his story about the guy falling into his popcorn and how he wanted to buy him a drink because he felt bad. Like sometimes I think angel bean phil is a myth but this guy is literally just really caring and sweet to those around him and im glad people like him exist in the world.
Philnalysis time : Me and
alittledizzy were discussing this and it seems like Phil has a tendency to always try to sooth things over things even when it doesn't involve him. When he was recounting the story about the guy and his wife, it seemed like he was projecting some of his own characteristics and emotions onto him and even making a story in which the guy embarrasses himself and hopefully gets redemption (by having his wife forgive him). In a way, he projects his anxiety onto others and also feels their discomfort as his own. I think it's because he understands what it's like to publicly embarrass yourself (napkin crotch restaurant accident) so he feels for other peoples embarrassing situations and tries to sooth their awkwardness as if it was his own. It's why he felt the need to buy the couple a drink, he wasn't directly responsible for the situation, but still felt the need to help.
This habit of picking up responsibility when he doesn't "have" to was shown again with gas men. I think Dan mentioned him not being able to focus because he kept checking if the gas men needed something and offering them tea. Again, not his responsibility to check on them, but he still takes up the task.
Is anyone else shocked they left the gas men alone in their house??? Like wtf?? Do they have nanny cams set up because I would not trust some random gas man to be walking around my flat, especially if I'm as private as they are. *applies to gas technician schools in london*
Him mentioning a possible vacation in the horizon if the leak continues (babes, you should have just admitted you're taking your husband on a vacation ) or staying at a hotel- i noticed he still said we when talking about possible places to stay while waiting it out
The whole ASMR/plant scene was so precious and him talking about people watching him
What the heck does Phil google in his free time and why is he watching duck sex video?? I secretly think he's so good at google feud because he's one of those weirdos that go on incognito mode and search all this creepy stuff- also I cry laughed at the story of the meerkat clawing at his crotch, never change phil
Him making up a fake name just so he can show off his jacket was hilarious and so extra. Like, he made up a name and everything. I think it's really adorable how he always prepares for a liveshow by bringing all his props near him so he can show it off to us
