I almost hate to post this right under what I'm pretty sure is an absolutely fascinating post about gender pronoun usage in Undertale, but I also want to post this while it's still topical.
Horse Boyfriend Simulator?! - Dan and Phil Play: My Horse Prince
:06 - Reference to the pastel video, so we're back on track with filming and posting in chronological order.
:12 - Phil poking Dan then asking, "Is that your nipple?" Dan says no, Phil keeps poking on the other side.
:15 - Phil puts his fingers briefly on his own chest, can't tell if he was poking himself or it was just a gesture?
:16 - "Nipple, nipple, nipple, nipple, nipple, nipple, whoo!"
:44 - Phil saying "Yesss! Okay." as Dan explains they're playing a dating simulator today.
:52 - Genuine Phil surprise reaction, or not? It's harder to tell if Phil is faking surprise than if Dan is, because we don't often see Dan introducing Phil to games.
1:01 - "Is this legal?" Actually, no.
1:10 - Phil: So this is your favorite game that you play every night in bed?
1:41 - Phil seemed unimpressed with the Susan name, but brightens at the "magical sprinkle of noise."
1:57 - Phil critiquing Dan's character voice, requesting a girl voice.
2:09 -
I hadn't had the chance to meet any good looking guys. Phil: "Yeah?" Dan: "I think we can all relate to that."
2:12 - Phil definitely does look at the camera as though he's about to say something, then just laughs instead. Not sure if it's bc he rethought or Dan had already started talking again.
2:16 -
I poured so much of myself into work that my only interaction with men was at the office... to which Phil says, "Is that so bad?" So Phil doesn't mind mingling business and romance. Everyone is shocked, I'm sure.
2:45 - Phil: "Is she gonna fall in love with an animal?" Phil is still expressing disbelief.
3:06 - Phil does not believe girls who fall in love with horses are respectable.
3:30 -
Do any hot guys come? Dan rationalizes, I think Phil says "Forward."
3:36 - Phil is baffled at her going to a ranch to find hot guys.
3:41 - Dan says, "Commendable." and Phil says, "Maybe he's into it." Wait, who is into what? Did we lose some dialogue to a jump cut there?
3:56 - Dan: "Not here for the horses, just here for the jock."
4:09 - Phil's reaction to the horse. Dan looks so genuinely entertained by Phil's reaction.
4:46 - Fruits Basket comparison.
4:50 - Dan seems to understand something about the game he hadn't before.
5:05 - Phil touching his cheek. Are his teeth hurting him?
5:20 - Dan telling Phil he has to do his best dreamy guy voice.
5:36 - Dan critiquing Phil's dreamy guy voice. "A bit cuter."
5:50 - Phil: "This is quite funny, Dan." So much real!Phil voice slipping into every video now.
6:02 - Six minutes in, Phil says: "Okay, I'm getting into it." I wonder if he'd voiced confusion or that he didn't like the video and they edited it out?
6:26 - Phil neighs. Dan: "Good one, Phil."
6:42 - Random observation that popped into my head at this point but isn't directly related to the timestamp: I actually think Dan sprang this one on Phil w/o explaining it, I think Phil's slightly stiff/AP behavior is just a product of not knowing what's coming.
7:22 - Phil: "And he's quite a meaty horse as well." Phil eyes the camera then Dan. "Just sayin'."
7:26 - Dan says, "I expected a few episodes before we started identifying with SusanKun." so he's hoping, I think, for this to be the kind of games they do a series on - which makes sense, much less pressure to play it 'well' and no massive fandom critiquing every choice they make on screen.
7:48: Dan: "I kind of want some [carrots?] now."
8:06 - Dan is so excited about the dating sim aspect.
8:40 - Excellent! "Phil, well done."
8:49 - Phil interrupts Dan to say, "I love how much you know about this." Bashful Dan.
9:00 - They missed a prime opportunity to make a joke about feeding guys to make them fall in love.
9:14 - Phil's second excellent. Dan: "Phil! What can I say. You have a natural affinity for anthropomorphic horses." Phil: "I could date a human horse in a second."
9:44 - "What's the vibe you want to send him?" Dan giving Phil tips on how to best pick up a
horse guy. I've read this friends-to-lovers fic before.
10:06 - Dan: "Oh my god, Phil, what the hell. You're amazing."
10:12 - The horse is steaming. Phil is afraid the horse wants to fuck him. Dan reassures him this is not the Sims. (Phil tries to hide his disappointment, probs. Fifty Shades of Neigh.)
10:36 - Phil: "So now are we gonna kiss?" Dan: "Um. Maybe. I don't know. Where's the story going?" How much of that 'um' was Dan processing Phil meant the game?
11:27 - Horsie is zazzed. From the carrots.
11:45 - Dan: "Is this romantic or scary?" So I guess Phil doesn't small walls in a lust-driven frenzy very often.
12:08 - Phil: "I feel a bit creepy now." Wait, only just now?
12:20 - Dan: "It's dangerous, being in love with a horse."
12:36 - Phil asks how the game ends. He does not seem invested in allowing the story to unfold.
13:10 - Phil: "I'm ready for this." in the least-excited/least-ready-for-this voice ever.
13:29 - Phil goes from deadpan to actually laughing when Dan starts exaggeratedly lusting over the horse.
14:08 - Dan kinkshaming people who make out with horses. Phil's endscreen name is aNEIGHzingPhil. You can't have it both ways, Dan.
