Omg, missemma, that's wonderful. Dan even looks like he's kicking the pigeons like the obnoxious neighbour from hell he really is

I'm not entirely sure how far you guys are serious on these tinfoil theories. Purposely showing the bedroom for reasons? Hmm. Interesting. Dan said Phil needed the PC because he was working out game streaming as Macs are useless for games, which in my limited experience is sadly true even when the Mac has the hardware capability. The Sims 4 crashed and Guild Wars 2 juddered around. To that end, I now don't get why Dan couldn't use his usual nook with his iMac cos the PC is in the gaming room, I'm flummoxed. Dan had that shoe rack in the old apartment and it was full of boring trainers then too, they could well all be his. I have about that many pairs and can't even wear some because of heels and my back (I live in hope).

Had a cute surprise notification of a note from Dan on my YouNow profile, not bad after one from Phil, clementine-themed, the other week and then a goodbye last time. It said something like "thanks for spending an hour in my dank den now go have a drink". I'm curious how those work, are they totally random or what, who knows.

I'm sure Phil used cardboard to catch the centipede but I don't think it's in the photo - looks much more like wood grain pattern to me! I'm so glad the centipede has returned, I didn't feel like we gave it enough discussion last time
This is causing me extreme stress. Like how? do? you? look at that? and see a floor? as someone who is 80% cardboard I can confirm that it is cardboard. Fight me. Thank you

I also wasn't fully convinced and saw the whole thing as cardboard, but the shade of both the flooring and the wall matches so perfectly to the screencaps from today's show. Also, there is no edge to the "cardboard" in the picture - it's very blurry and unfinished. I'm convinced at this point

Nope, I've spent many minutes studying the centipede photo and it's on a wooden floor... 's wooden floor! I will never concede

The "cardboard" or a thin sheet of something that looks like cardboard is only halfway under the glass the rest is wood flooring!
But it could all just be an optical illusion caused by the bad lighting, which matches the bad lighting in the moon room!

can confirm that Macs are shit for games - Sims 3 on Mac is an interesting experience, even my old hairdryer laptop ran it better than my Mac.

I'm deadly serious when I say they're doing this with a goal in mind. Its something I can see them talking about, and planning. Even having help from their network etc. They plan things and know how to hype and reveal, look at TABINOF/TATINOF and even things like the gaming channel and the move. There is no reason there wouldn't have been another location in their house to live show from, and there is no reason Phil couldn't have tested things out before or after. Or even yesterday - doing it the night Dan is on YouNow meaning he has to move into his room, doesn't sit right with me.

Also, I'm glad so many people enjoy my tinfoil i'm amused i've inadvertently caused moving hype 2.0 when I wasn't even here for moving hype 1.0

(edit: I hope nobody has gone away for 2 days they'll have a heart attack when they see so many new posts)

I don't wanna say anything but Phil had a tv in his bedroom in the old apartment and i really doubt that something with that size fits in his new shoe box, i mean, bedroom.

This is my first post, i hope i did it right. And is the first time i write or express myself in english, so feel free to correct me if something is unreadable.
I think you're right about the Chromecast, actually! We know they have one.

And welcome!
You can see the blue source directly a bit when he pans to the rug, it looks like it's in a separate (dark) room. Every frame is blurry except when he stops on the rug, and then you can barely see it in the corner.

I think it's all floor and that's just another panel of the hardwood with a different grain. The cardboard would have to be the exact same color as the wood, and I think that's doubtful

That blue thing is outside the room, but the reflection looks like right in front of the bed

I feel really bad overanalyzing this because i have moments of 'why is everybody obsessed with them being together, they can be totally platonic best BEST friends', but then i'm like 'than can't be platonic at all, they are so in love and blah blah blah'

Am i the only one with this problem?

maybe this is me procrastinating university stuff

Now the only thing that's bothering me is why cut off the feet in both pictures???
New theory: Phil actually wears matching socks and only pretends that he is a quirky bean with different socks for views.

You can kind of see the top of the left sock in the second picture, but I can tell if it's the same sock or not.

Is there another instance of this sock anywhere?

Phil and Misc Watch 2017
am i STILL an emo?? (July 25, 2017)

Prompted Phil Mention
18:28 (chat) Please roast Phil more
“Phil had that coming. Phil wasn’t actually offended, ‘cause that’s what friends can do, you can just roast each other with no repercussions, but if we’re all being honest with each other, after Phil’s rat video [and the photos used], it was only fair that he got a full roasting”

21:20 (chat) Why did you bleep Phil’s swear? Phil said the f word
“He actually said the s word. ’Cause it’s funny, there’s no rules, you just make them up as you go along”
-so Jenna Marbles uploads ‘extras’ around xmas/new year which are basically just her outtakes from videos for the past year.. I petition D&P to upload every instance of Phil swearing they’ve cut from videos, just the audio, and put it over the cake scene on loop. Merry holiday.

22:00 (chat) Why soundproof tiles?
“I’m sure many of you’ve seen: Phil tweeted a picture”
“We’ve had complaints from the neighbours” so: soundproofing
“Phil spent about 4 hours sticking these tiles everywhere, and then when we were filming the Crash Bandicoot video, he bent over to pick something up, and literally knocked all of them on the floor. So we filmed one video, Phil made a mess, and there we go. So just literally hours of sticking these things on a wall instantly destroyed by Phil’s butt. So obviously I was there to take a shame photo of him”

27:30 (chat) Has Phil finished putting up the soundproof tiles?
“He has now sl— well, he kinda gave up. I’m sure at some point before we film the rest of them, Phil will have to undo the assening that he did when he knocked them all over”

30:03 (chat) livestreaming on DanAndPhilGAMES?
“Yes, we’ve just been working out how to do it, it’s like complicatey-ding-dong, but that’s something that we’re gonna do”

35:45 (chat) You and Phil were teachers in my dream
“Wow, well your education would have been absolutely horrendous, Hanna. I’m very glad that that was just a dream for you”
-yes hello I’d like to get my Masters in emo culture with a minor in gay lions thank you

56:50 (chat) Stop typing in the background of Phil’s stream
“Oh, did you hear me the other day? That was me on the computer going clackity-clack-clack wearing headphones; I have no idea what’s happening during that. It’s a miracle that he doesn’t find it distracterino-ing”
Unprompted Phil Mention

-listen, sometimes it's a fine line between neutral/unprompted
Neutral Phil Mention
0:40 “I’m livestreaming today from my bed, if you’re wondering where I am, ‘cause Phil is editing a gaming video at the computer on the desk that I usually livestream from for very specific reasons, which is thrilling”

01:30 “My bedroom is not something that I wanna share with the internet, really, for the sole reason that it’s like a dark cave because it has no houseplants” “Aesthetically it’s not up to my standards” because no plants and doesn’t open curtains etc. - ‘dank cave’

20:15 “So Señor Philip’s laryngitis - great excuse - finished being in him, and then we made another gaming video” “In the week when Phil had laryngitis and we couldn’t film gaming videos [we murdered every level of Crash Bandicoot]”
“You might not care about gaming, or Crash Bandicoot, but if you wanna watch Dan and Phil suffer and go on an emotional rollercoaster” go to DAPG

23:15 (chat) Play Dream Daddy
“A lot of people have been requesting me and Phil to play Dream Daddy”
“Okay, we’ll film that this week” “We’ll do one more gaming video in the meantime, [then that]. And then I reckon it’s time for a Sims, ‘cause with Phil’s laryngitis, [it’s been too long], people will be coming for us, it’ll be bad, it’ll be violent”
-YES RENOVATE THE FUCKING HOUSE

24:30 “We put some new bags on danandphilshop. We’re always desperately just trying to cater for different peoples tastes, ‘cause you can never please everybody, so Phil and I like to do some very very different looking things”
“So for Phil’s kind of aesthetic” = blue bag “with Japanese writing saying ‘Dan and Phil’” “It’s pretty ace. That’s if you’re Phil. I wouldn’t wear that, I’m just gonna be honest with you, I hate it, it’s not for me. For me, it’s this one” = black bag
“Anyway, danandphilshop.com, get a bag, if you want one. If you don’t want a bag, there you go, don’t get it”
-I suddenly want to see them doing ironic infomercial-type things for their merch (or anything, really), that was some A+ shilling, would watch again

31:28 “We’re doing a Make-A-Wish tomorrow” “We’re gonna be playing video games with one of you guys. It actually sounds really crazy, I’ll tell you about it next week, ‘cause it’s not just like sitting on a sofa somewhere playing games, there’s a fun weird thing planned” - he’ll post a photo tmrw

39:14 (chat) Any collabs with other YTers planned?
“Planned? Dunno. We were really efficient with that one day with Anthony, aren’t we? We busted out 4 whole videos.”
“I loved that video where Anthony and Phil made that fricking dog sweater, hilarious flop”

43:10 (chat) Why is it so dark?
“‘Cause Phil was like, ‘I need to use this computer.’ I think he’s trying to figure out how to use a PC to stream YT gaming” “So I was like, ‘Phil, you do that, and I’ll just sit on a bed talking to some people’. A very fair share of the hard work there, I think you can all agree.”

57:15 “Pastel Dan and Phil was a thing, we made a poster”
Miscellaneous
5:37 “Just to be sure, to clarify with a lot of people - ‘cause you must always assume that no one on the internet has any kind of sense of humour, that they just don’t understand that anything is like not completely serious - the video was a joke in that I’m not saying, as a political statement, that if someone is emo, they should be ashamed.”

7:00 “The thing is about emos is: what does emo mean to you? Is it people that listen to MCR/people that are kind of gothy and alternative and emotional, but it’s not really about the music of the clothes/just an aesthetic style - what is it? Well, you’re actually looking at an experienced guru of emo culture since the mid-00’s”
“[in-depth emo bants]”
“[The trend has passed, but] you look at Phil, you look at me for like the last 5 years— you stop being fully emo but you kind of keep bits of the style”

12:30 “[A lot of comments said I’m still emo] but what does that mean? Because I don’t have the [hair], I don’t listen to the music anymore, I don’t do something- but what is it? Because if I’m saying there was this style aspect of emo that was just about the look, and the music aspect [..], then what was the thing? What was the culture of emo? I think it was the idea that people looked at alternative cultures, like [people into metal/indie/hip hop/etc], and didn’t identify with any of them, but instead they said, ‘No, I want to be a bit sensitive, I don’t wanna be hyper-masculine, I wanna be vulnerable, I wanna talk about my feelings, I wanna have friends where we’re all just probably super gay and talk about our feelings and stuff, and that’s— what is that emotionally? Because if you identify with that, maybe that’s emo, you know what I mean? Anyway, I’m gonna shut up.”

14:55 “Honestly, none of my friends cared [about his purple fringe]. I always tried so hard to be popular, and no one ever cared on any level. It was unbelievable how badly I got constantly rejected by people”

16:30 “For two years, I was basically like a wannabe emo because I was like, ‘these people look so cool. I identify with the vibe, and I really like the style, but because when I was 13-15 I was [a big dumbass] and had no idea what I was doing”

30:35 “I’m going to completely, unironically, become a candle vlogger for one video [on his side channel]. I’m not gonna be funny, it’s literally just gonna be a candle vlog, you don’t understand”
-let's all hold our breath for this, it's bound to happen

32:15 “Filmed another sketch with thetomska and that’s gonna come out” ON FRIDAY BITCH

48:20 (chat) I can’t work out the layout [of your flat]
“Give up. Honestly.”
“I might move where I film my videos”
“So I’d love to find just a white wall that doesn’t have a weird thing on it”
-keep house hunting, you’ll find one

51:05 “I think ‘Dan’s Diss Track’ is one of my best videos of all time”
-where is the lie

55:30 (chat) Will you be my friend?
“I like the sentiment there, but you could be like a cannibal or something and I just don’t wanna endorse that”

59:20 Might be busy next Tuesday, will let us know
Phinal Tally: said ‘Phil’ 32 times
~32/60.5mins = 0.52 per min

Firstly:

Secondly:
I am totally in full mode because there is absolutely no reason for Dan to do the liveshow from his bedroom because, as previously mentioned, he was on his laptop. So why not do it where Phil has been doing his, or in the downstairs lounge, or in the gaming room, or the upstairs lounge, or literally anywhere where the lighting isn't absolutely horrendous.

A lot of the time, I doubt Phan because """it's not that deep"""-Dan and Phil aren't that calculating and most things are the phandom overanalyzing, but...I'm just genuinely stumped as to why he did the liveshow from his bedroom. Initially, I thought maybe he finally wanted to show off his cool moon decor he had told us about, but within the first 5 minutes or so he says he doesn't want to show his room because he thinks it isn't "aesthetically pleasing"?? Like?? I really cannot think of another explanation to him doing this other than they're testing our reactions/what we're able to pick up on because they are both extremely aware of what goes on within the phandom, and I'd find it hard to believe they have not seen the talk about Phil's room being a "set" or "beardroom": it's in the YT comments, on Twitter, the YouNow chat, Tumblr. So Dan knows, maybe not the extent of the conversation, but in general, the big "hooplah" (for lack of a better term) surrounding his bedroom. So why, after telling us you weren't gonna film in there anyway, are you- knowing the phandom will overanalyze everything. I feel like every few months we get "Phan is real confirmed!11!!" (wood floors! they share the room!) and then a few months later we always get a form of denial. But this constant cycle of "Is Phan real???" keeps them relevant and keeps fans interested. I feel like its always two steps forward one step backwards (I am not implying queerbaiting by the way). But we've been seeing a change in the past year and I hope that continues :). Maybe he couldn't film in the the other rooms because they've started packing things up for their forever home and there are boxes everywhere? Or, he knows the intrigue surrounding the room situation and felt like throwing us a bone to see what we do with it. Or, sweet Daniel is innocent to the inner workings of the tin-hat-conspiracy-theorist FBI-agent level obsession of his fanbase. I'm hoping its the latter.

Or he just realizes he/they can't control what people are interested in/going to obsess about and doesn't care to stress over it himself. He sat on his bed for an hour instead of at a desk, that's literally all that just happened.

okay lbr what fancybum posted above is what you really wanna read (it's definitely what I really wanna read) but I just finished these so have a second helping of timestamps:
:46 - Explanation for why he's streaming from his bedroom: "Phil is editing a gaming video at the computer on the desk that I usually livestream from, for very specific reasons. Which is thrilling."
1:23 - Talks about his bedroom. "It's not something I want to share with the internet really, for the sole reason that it's like a dark cave." Mhmm sure Jan.
2:11 - Shows the room: moon mirror, moon chair, moon rug.
2:51 - Talks about the collab with Anthony. ("Antoine Padildo. It's his legal name. He won't tell you that because he's very embarrassed.")

3:35 - He's had a haircut. In case you were wondering.
3:50 - The emo video has been in his video ideas notepad for about four years.
4:23 - Dan typing something.
4:40 - Adjusts position so he's more directly in front of the moon mirror.
4:57 - He wrote the script in the car in about an hour, filmed it in about fifteen minutes. Watched it over the weekend and couldn't decide if it was even good. (So I'm guessing the Phil bits in their flat were filmed this weekend?)
5:30 - "You must always assume that no one on the internet has any sense of humor." Leads into multi-minute spiel on whether people that used to be emo should be ashamed of themselves/their past.
6:37 - Mentions the blue bulb and picking it out himself, it looks like a disaster. "I wish anyone taught me anything about how to actually function as an adult, because they truly didn't."
7:08 - Poses "What is emo?" question then spends five minutes answering his own question. It is actually better than the video itself was.
8:33 - Explaining the attitude behind emo, outside of the music: "I want to rebel, I want to throw the Bible away, and have this terrifying eye makeup and sexuality."
9:22 - "Young kids and teens [...] wanted something a bit queerer."
10:37 - "Some people wanted to be sensitive, some people wanted to wear their mental health on their chest" and that's why they were drawn to emo and not metal/indie.
12:00 - "You look at Phil, you look at me for the last five years - you stop being fully emo but you keep bits of the style without trying to overdo."
13:32 - Discussing what emo is today: "I want to be a bit sensitive, I don't want to be hypermasculine. [...] I want to talk about my feelings and I want to have friends where we're all just probably super gay and talk about our feelings and stuff. What is that emotionally?"
14:07 - Shows the old emo pictures.
14:39 - Reflection in the phone while he's talking about dying his fringe purple.

22:40 - Dan typing.
22:49 - Phil spent about four hours sticking the tiles everywhere. They filmed one video, Phil made a mess. Hours and hours and hours of sticking these things instantly destroyed by Phil's butt. Dan was there to take a shame photo.
23:15 - Dream Daddies; he was worried it's too like Horse Prince but they'll play it next week.
24:16 - New merch/backpacks. Dan hates the blue one.

31:07 - One important plan then a whole day of unimportant plans (Make-a-Wish then GW2 patch.)
32:20 - Sketch with Tomska set in a house party.
33:30 - Myspace talk; self-promo and angles.
34:17 - Non-emo music talk.
34:30 - "I definitely prefer it to cherrybomb - ahhh." Smiling with his finger against his lips. I see, I see.
34:58 - Lots of trailers; get them out of Dan's face, he doesn't want to know about them.
35:57 - Talk about Louis Tomlinson and speculation about what his album will be.
36:33 - Dan gets a text? "Someone trying to-"

39:28 - He loved the video where Anthony and Phil made the dog sweater.
39:44 - Riverdale. (Why.)
40:51 - Lift tweet; way too much detail about how lifts work? And lots of dramatics about not having pushed a button.
43:10 - Explains again why he is streaming from his bed; this time says Phil is testing out PC-only software for streaming upstairs.
44:34 - Dan typing again, more this time.
45:14 - Chat says: "I'm high as balls, and you're glowing, son."

49:30 - The moon mirror is gonna kill Dan.
50:32 - One year anniversary of the diss track.
51:51 - Rearranging himself but also very carefully looking around each time he changes his own placement.
52:24 - Difference in emo and scene.
55:54 - He stumbles hard over saying what he did this weekend; filmed Crash Bandicoot on Saturday (maybe?). He didn't have a weekend; he needs to be left alone to be creative and people don't leave him alone during the week. Most youtube stuff happens over the weekends. He is having a Wednesday weekend tomorrow.
56:41 - He doesn't have a favorite cheese.
56:52 - Acknowledges typing in the background of Phil's liveshows.
57:07 - He puts "ino" on the ends of things as a coping mechanism.
57:16 - Shows off the pastel poster. No poster w/o wigs because they can't make an unironic cute poster. (But no wigs on the plushes.)

59:22 - Maybe no liveshow next week.

wow, I am behind af. I have been lurking but havent had time to post.

1. I am very sad that Tomska decided to keep his doggo at home instead of bring it to set because it meant no Dan holding the puppy between takes. -1 doggo point for tom.
2. Anthony basing a whole video on phil and a doggo is a blessing. +10 doggo points to Anthony.
3. I am shocked that phanthony filmed so many videos together??? I was expecting just the three, one for each channel but we keep getting these extra videos popping up outta nowhere. I've always had a theory that the people who get to collab with deppy are those who have the persistence to bother them the most until they relent (with some small exceptions of course). I feel like they spent the whole day with Anthony and just kept coming up with ideas and shooting things and giggling and it makes me happy that he might be a new casual friend. I cannot believe that Deppy would have worked up the courage to ask Anthony for a collab, this was all 100% him asking them and no one can change my mind.
4. There were people saying the emo vid mocked coming out videos/culture, but to me (someone who has only watched a handful of those vids) I saw it as mocking the old 90's anti drug videos we were forced to watch in school.
5. Dan sitting cross legged on the couch next to anthony, then sitting on his knees while shaking his behind while singing and getting his nails painted and doing someone's hair? I didn't know I needed all of that in my life, but apparently I did. So blessed. If only Phils filming room wasn't so tiny, we could have had this body language in the hair curling vid.
6. I haven't watched the liveshow, but the little stickies Phil was using to put those soundproof things up are totally temporary and meant not to leave a mark and those pads will never stay up. Don't give up on move 2.0, that was not a longterm solution lol.
7. I see both cardboard shoved against the wall and hardwood floors depending on what I am thinking, so i give up. regardless, phil does not sleep in that tiny room. Just like Dan did not sleep in the tiny bunk. Nice try.
8. I need more youtubers to force deppy into interacting with their doggos. the more doggos they pet, the faster they will move. Get on it people.
9. gaming livestream thoughts...boardgames or bust. I like video games slightly more edited because there are lots of boring bits. Dream Daddy for example is a bit slow at times and a lot of reading, and I have enjoyed edited runs more than unedited.

I think that's it...everything else I have to say has been said perfectly here, so assume I agree with anything positive lol.

*edit - I just read that I have to wait for three other videos before the next sims vid and they lost -15 doggo points just for that. :(

New theory: Phil actually wears matching socks and only pretends that he is a quirky bean with different socks for views.

I'm sorry, it's three am and I'll show myself out :gg:
You can kind of see the top of the left sock in the second picture, but I can tell if it's the same sock or not.

Is there another instance of this sock anywhere?
hi, the closest thing i could find is

that might very well not be the exact design...but if it is then the top bits of his socks don't match as the left one seems yellow, idk though also, it's 5 am and i don't have a life

anyways, that's my important contribution, duh. love that everyone is so chill about room sharing stuff, btw

i could write the longest post ever about that ls and all the theories, but as it's 5 am i'll just say that i'm soooo excited for their live streams, especially gaming!! most of the other youtubers that i'm this passionate about are also (twitch) streamers. i've connected with my fave ytrs via stream chats, i've made new friends, i've spent nights watching streams where there can be actually deep and interesting conversations between the streamer and strangers watching... (ofc not excepting anything like that from deppy as they have 10 x bigger audience & you can moderate twitch chats so that you can have a good quality conversation with hundreds of people, but the yt chat makes that impossible. but just the idea of a stream makes me so happy!) and idk man, if the streamer is actually interacting with the audience, i often find it so much more enjoyable than even an A+ youtube video.

the only shade i'm throwing is about youtube streaming being so hard to use, like oh no phil has to download obs and make it work somehow, it's so complicated ??? m8 you literally download it, get the link or something for youtube, add monitors and a mic to the scene and click "start streaming". i'm a 16 year old with no ict knowledge at all and it took me 30 minutes. their job is basically being on a computer, they did a radio show for bbc and have been recording gaming videos for years, but yeah whatever you consider complicated :D

I haven't gotten a chance to watch the ls yet, but boy am I looking forward to it. But it seems like weird mixed messages from them today. Phil's all "Hey we're putting up soundproofing panels" (which I've been wishing they would do since their first gaming video there) we'll be here awhile" and later Dan's like "Hey lets have a liveshow in my bedroom that I wasn't ever going to show you, also we might get evicted, no more confusing apartment, yay!" (paraphrasing and over exaggerating from your guy's reports). Okay then boys.

The white fabric reminds me of one of those short silk robes, but the skinny line trailing down to the silver chair is throwing me off, it seems too long and stiff to be the robe tie and more like a cord. My question is what is it hanging off of? It seems like a fabric panel. Also what is leaning against the mirror on the right? It seems like a flag on a pole. And wtf is on the top left of the shoe rack? It looks like a dragon. Curious about the mysterious blue light as well.


Really I just came here to say that the centipede trapped under the glass is 100% on all wooden flooring. The other three adults in the room with me agree (without any context, just being shown the pic. Two of us are trained artists. So yeah, I'll fight you.) Oh and one child says cardboard (clearly he doesn't believe in phan and I'm disowning him).

As someone who owns many (many) pairs of socks from that brand, my guess is that the left sock is in fact different; the orange is usually distinct from the yellow.
