Dan & Phil Part 50: Should we kiss now?

[sparkle]

he sounds like a car horn


OBVIOUSLY this is the top. Sorry Phil

[obscureDnPreference]

Looks like Phil IS doing a liveshow!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8UdEl8dPZ4

He sounds pretty good for recovering from laryngitis!

He does! But he does sound a bit like he's recovering from a cold, just not super sick.

He looks lovely

He's trying vocal range and he just cracked I love this dork

can I hope for some caretaker!Dan story

When I had laryngitis in February, I had to volunteer somewhere and could not direct people where they were supposed to go at all. So I can relate to this story from Phil about being unable to communicate. What a cutie though. I can't believe Dan made him talk to the guy at Wimbledon.

[liola]

He just talked about the new merch! He also thanked Rachel for spreading some pre-hype haha

Either tonight or tomorrow, depending if the warehouse is ready.

Oh he just showed the pastel backpack, I LOVE

[obscureDnPreference]

Shoutout about the leaked merch! He's very lighthearted about it.

[scientia]

can definitely hear Dan (/?someone?) typing in the background

[chiccola]

can definitely hear Dan (/?someone?) typing in the background

same here! It sounds like intense clicking, so maybe some video games playing?
iirc his "office" is nearby, no?

[liola]

You know, sometimes I think Phil is so skinny and cute that I can't believe how tall he is.

Then I watch him talk and I really focus and holy f- his shoulders are so broad. SO. Broad. I'm such Phil trash excuse me.

He's talking about his video with Dan and Anthony and he's so proud of how hard he trolled Dan, cute husband bants!

Omg Phil collab on Anthony's channel tomorrow! I wasn't hoping for it anymore!

And he's gone.

[obscureDnPreference]

Collab with Phil on Anthony's channel tomorrow!

Gaming vid filming tomorrow and then upload asap after.

liveshow thoughts

- we're being blessed by phil singing
- i love that he talks about how he hasn't got his ear pierced but isn't acting in any way as if it was unreasonable for a boy to do
- omg shoutout to the backpack!! "thanks for spreading a little pre-hype, whoever got those" RachelPhan I can't believe you were topic of discussion in the dnp household :')
- yes, please DO keep us updated on the design process of the plushies, phil. those are literally the things i love hearing the most; maybe because it makes it feel like you're included, and that reduces some of the distance? I like it, whatever the reason. please bts, always.
- he said my name, it wasn't me but that always shakes me a little
- i didn't know phil yelling at fruit flies was what i needed in my life but i am glad it happened
- he is acknowledging being a troll and also being mean to dan. thanks

i love him

His dentist story...
His fleshy earlobes...
His vocal range...
Dan typing in the background...he's all up in Phil's chat

[fondsmiles]

Dan typing in the background...he's all up in Phil's chat

extended conspiracy theory: whenever they shout out fake comments and guy's names, it's not actually random comments, but it is what the other one just messaged them to talk about. even more; george and tom and steve are their furry persona names that they use to stay disguised in the liveshows. wake up, sheeples.

[thephandommenace]

Omg I was so happy and surprised to see him, and I! Loved! This! Liveshow! Phil is so adorkable. His voice was equal parts squeaky and sexy, haha. I laughed out loud multiple times.
Mmm those backpacks. I'm torn between getting the black nebula adventure or the pastel cloud dream (I'd cover up that lettering though) and I might even get the pastel plushies after all because the idea of having a little curly!dan plushie is just too cute. Phil you have well and truly brainwashed me.

P.S. I'm so sad to hear the lead singer of Linkin Park has died RIP

Liveshow thoughts:

• Dan made him talk to the "red trouser man" even though he couldn't speak... bc of course
• "Did I do my face?" He was very concerned about having the appropriate face angle for TV, and no derping or looking at his phone. Dunno why but this made me so fond
• Though he supported Federer, he thought crying Čilić was really sad. King Of Empathy
• "Thanks for spreading some pre-hype!" other people mentioned this, but this was such a lovely, positive, lowkey way to acknowledge it! I love Phil!
• Love how he named the "pastel blue cloud bag" while Dan named the "black glitter nebula bag", because they are what would happen if Dan and Phil turned into bags, apparently
• Literally this was just a liveshow to promo everything (bags, newsletter, plushies)... maybe Martyn put him up to doing one today
• No cologne at the moment, because he only buys them at airports, but since he's been late he hasn't had time to sniff them, also he calls it aftershave because he's not snobby... nice
• When saying when he saw The Room he just listed Marzie, Felix, PJ, and Sophie, because obvs Dan was there too, it just goes without saying
• "I am actually a fruit" wow Phil... someone called him a fruit and he confirmed... everybody go home

[SquishPhan]

I wasn't expecting a Phil live show at all, so getting one even if it was a very short one happily surprised me.

I can’t wait for the next gaming vid.

For some reason I wasn’t expecting another Phil and Anthony collab, so I’m excited about it and wondering what that will look like. Sounds like I will find out tomorrow.

[danphilflipmypancake]

I thought the little tidbit about him buying colognes and aftershaves at airports was interesting. Makes me wonder if Dan helps him pick out a scent since they usually fly together

Does "fruit" not have the connotation in the UK it does in the US? I was surprised to hear someone call him a fruit and Phil reply that he was a fruit. I guess it is a more old-fashioned slur that people might not be aware of. I had only learned of it when my dad told a rather off-color joke that ended with "It's better to be a fruit than a vegetable." Is it not a really a thing anymore kind of like queer to a certain extent?

Yes you can see my reaction to him saying that above! I was like "wait not only did he agree with the person who called him a fruit, but he then restated it clearly???"

In my (limited) knowledge of UK slang, fruit does in fact carry the same connotation, but yeah typically it's used by older generations, and often in a negative way (though it has been reclaimed a bit according to the internet). But that's where my mind immediately went, although Phil's brain might not have.

Edit: Wikipedia says "Fruit as gay slang or slur is amongst the lexicon of the cant slang Polari used in the gay subculture in Britain which has become more mainstream with transcontinental travel and online communication."

[onetruetrash]

I heard that typing to. Can't even do a liveshow alone, can you, Phil?

I can't believe what happened to Chester Bennington. The only Linkin Park song I've heard is Heavy, but now the song hits even harder.

[sparkle]

(I think you live near-ish me, I'll get the black one, you get the blue one, we'll meet up and swap it every two weeks until we can decide where their forever home will be)

[iwishiwasacasual]

I go away for two days and Phil gets laryngitis, they have another travel disaster, someone gets sent one of the coolest backpacks I've ever seen, and there's been debate that August will bring a deppy wedding documentary

didn't miss much did I :')

I'm going to watch the live show while I pack for London (this week has been BUSY af) but I'm excited to hear Dan talk about the Tinder #spon. I am SO surprised he has never used it. Wow Daniel, next thing you'll be telling us that you live in London, or that the sky is ACTUALLY blue.

Thoughts on the possible thing they're doing because I missed out on the discussion, I'm aware the conversation has moved on so you are free to ignore me

Basically, I think if they were to do a coming out documentary, even if it was strictly edutainment, I think it would be because they needed full control over their relationship for whatever reason. Can't get outed if you out yourself? Thats a very d&p thing to do.

What I would like to see, and I HOPE they are doing/Dan makes a video on is the effect of YouTube on interpersonal relationships and mental health of creators. (I'd love to do a MA dissertation on this but getting access to any YouTubers that are big enough for this to impact would be nigh on impossible, even with confidentiality clauses). See I want to know what happened to them in 2012, not in the sense of #PhanProof but in the sense that I want to know what its like on the other side? I've been publicly shit on by fandoms (I got read out on Radio One by Daniel P. Carter, the MCRmy didn't like what I said, I got death threats, people tried to doxx me, it was horrendous) and its hard enough when its one day of your life. Never mind every day, and never mind being one of the most private parts of your life.

I want them to talk about this. I want them to tackle something serious. I can't see them doing a documentary on their relationship specifically, but I can see them doing a documentary on fandoms.

*gets tinfoil hat* so what if it is this.

In October they get a confirmation that they're going to work on a documentary about shipping. Online phenomena, and Phan is a ship that refuses to set sail. Lets assume they are together for this, they are exploring at what point the 'evidence' becomes undeniable and a relationship and sexuality is viewed as authentic without an explicit confirmation as such.

So they start hinting, we have the baking video, and this is them seeing how much sexual tension they can get away with displaying. Dan talks more and more about sexuality, they have the flirtingbants at the start of the Bombs video, they are more comfortable touching each other. Then August happens and we realise its been a social experiment and they're like 'psych' until the last scene of the documentary where they show a 'gag' reel of all the things that haven't made the cut since October and one of them is them kissing, and we realise they are trolls, but geniuses too.

lbr, i'm still totally down for it being t-minus 2 weeks until #phanwedding and Dan is desperately trying to nurse Phil back to health so he has a voice for their big day, which is why they're not even attempting to film a gaming video

like i know everyone has moved on to the phil live show (loved it btw) can i just say sparkle your posts never fail to make me smile, thank you

[RachelPhan]

I mean I should really be asking for a discount after all that pre- hype, I didn't watch the show but Kathryn rang me and played it to me down the phone, safe to say we were a bit excited lol can't believe it got a mention!

Thanks to everyone last night looking out for me, I got very upset (massive anxiety/panic attack) but Kathryn was reading me all the comments and tweets so thanks again to everyone

I really dig this idea

[flarequake]

He was all bouncy again, penny finally dropped in my brain that he's been more cheerful in liveshows for the same time Dan has, I realised straight away that with Dan it was probably due to the new apartment. Storage and not being stalked must be a good feeling.

He was so cute smiling and blushing at the end when he admitted it hadn't taken him years to come up with that game. I waited minutes to type into the chat how funny it was that he's a cheeky troll and the chat finally freed up as he was saying goodbye, and he read out my name. I felt blessed, I do my best to time when I type to when they're actually looking at the chat, but it's so zoomy.

Can't believe Dan still made Phil do the talking when he'd lost his voice, it's like with catching the bugs, poor love.

I'm intrigued how they're going to do curly hair on plushie Dan, good they both saw the requests for no wigs. Interesting how much they do see in the chat and on Twitter. Even wirrow suggested just doing separate outfits. Be tricky to dress them in clothes over the sleeves on them already, perhaps, but otherwise the clothes are flush with their bodies. They're not bad quality, btw, even if mine did come a bit unravelled (one hem was a bit loose just like my own cheap trousers as soon as I buy them, and Dan's hand had split. I sewed him up, sent the shop photos and they gave me £5 off). I can see myself buying them again, I guess they can sit in a different room so they don't all stare at me.

Terrible news about Chester Bennington. I've heard of the band, but none of their music, still I've been down badly enough to know the feelings well, it's obviously pretty awful to get that far.

Glad you're doing a bit better today Rachel! I can't believe he gave it a mention either, so he is fully aware of what is happening, I kind of forget that - It was lovely tho, i do wish he'd gone a little further and told everyone to be nice to each other online #nicerinternet and all that (but hey ho its not a perfect world)
