As the mother of two young girls I usually just run on caffeine and stress, but after hours I'll be accepting donations of the alcoholic variety! And maybe just check for a pulse now and then?

Hey now, it's their day off and this trash has hope.

I have two machines in my room that do that and a couple other monitor-y things... I doubt anyone will notice if I pack one up... Can't help with the alcohol thing though.

Same.

Long drive last night / today between St. Louis and Denver. Perhaps when they settle into their hotel they might get to work (youtubing) - although the weather's looking nice, and some serious mountains are nearby....

Also looking at the Bellco Theater in Denver, it is a 5,000 seat venue, and looks to be *almost* (~90%) sold out.

tall angel bean

I think it's kind of cute.

We talked about how are not original with their answers but the fans aren't original with the questions/requests either, are they ?

They aren't, and the cringe factor is rising. The more repetitive the answers become, the less cute and meaningful they are. This is fan service and I actually think the fact that they're unwilling to deviate from the rote answers shows how much they aren't enthusiastic about having to play fan
service-ing roles.

If nobody tell me those answers written by deps themselves, i thought it was some 2014 tumblr phandom q&a stuff. I mean even they just say really generic stuff like "nice, funny, creative" would probably bring tear to my eyes…

They're trying to go through the hug-sign-photo routine in about 30 seconds. They don't have time to come up with unique meaningful answers. It just makes sense that they have a "safe" set of stock answers they can recycle, even if they're fanservicey or uncreative or not completely true. Not sure if they hate it, it's more autopilot than anything. Scribble something down and move on to the next in line.

I say that as full , not a judgement. I was quite happy with my 30 seconds. Low expectations make everything ok.

Also, my dad was in charge of laundry growing up, I only did mine after I moved out.

Yeah I agree with you but I don't understand why the fans would want them to do/write something that they already did/wrote a billion of times, don't they want something a little more "unique" as a memory of them meeting D&P ? I know I wouldn't want Dan's ugly handwriting on my book

I agree with you on this. If I were in their shoes I wouldn't even be able to come up with something new every time. Safer to just answer the same thing every time.

His makeup routine for everyday is different though. In Louise's vlog where it shows him before and after getting ready there's a big difference in his complexion and his under eye circles are gone.

this made me laugh idk why I never considered before hanging here that they wore makeup. is there someone from idb that's still to go to tatinof? and the m&g? because photos don't say much but I'm really curious about what you can see up close of them.

resp laundry: when I was 15 I was the one to suggest doing my own laundry and separately from everyone's, but that's mostly bc I'm a clean freak, but it all resulted in me having to do everyone's laundry to this day. but I can see how it would be so much easier to do all your laundry together.

that's exactly how I feel about it, how many answers can you come up with at least 50 people asking you the exact same question almost everyday and you having about 2.5 seconds to spare to think about it (also taking in consideration you can't write just anything without causing 'phan confirmed' tumblr posts and tweets)?

NarrysCanary wrote:We talked about how are not original with their answers but the fans aren't original with the questions/requests either, are they ?

I agree, to be honest most of them are the same questions just worded differently. Kinda making it easy for Dan and Phil to be unoriginal with it. I was going though the updatedphan Twitter and did find one question that felt kinda original or at least not asked before. I find Dan's answer quite interesting, I always thought his favorite was Anakin since he talked about him the most.

All of these signatures and M&G pictures are making me wish I had bought VIP... ):

Tall angel bean tho...that's fudging adorable. I read it as tall angry bean at first and I was like no bby phil it ok no need 2 b angry

also I think we should make a posting rank "tall bean why cereal"

Question: For those of you who have been to TATINOF, any idea what time the buses get to the venue? (asking for science)

The thread right now

That is interesting, I thought that he has said before that Anakin is his favorite character, but I could be mistaken.

Isn't he allowed to change his mind then?

Of course he is, but he has mostly just talked about Anakin before and I don’t really remember him mentioning Leia. So I just find it interesting, that’s all.

Leia is his fave, Anakin is the one he most wants to be force choked by.
