Dan and Phil Part 105: Gay 🧡

[Catallena]

Well, no idea where they are right now but they did post the second USA/Canada photo dump on Insta.

20 truly devastating photos and videos for our viewing pleasure

Also there is a DanAndPhilBeats Christmas album out now on streaming platforms.

And Phil reblogged the final round (Phan vs. Jedus) of the RPF poll that has been going on over at Tumblr. Vote if you haven't yet!

[Catallena]

Phan won the RPF poll btw. Dan thanked us lol.

The TikTok videos are so funny. Phil’s algorithm is great and also he’s excellent at liking videos that will make Dan guffaw. 10/10 content.

Also, I really like the Boxing Day Boardgames song on the festive Dan and Phil Beats album. Cute name too.

I bought a calendar. This is the first merch of any kind from anyone I have ever bought you have one glass of mulled wine, honestly debating whether the recipe I got from TikTok is safe if one singular mug of it caused spending just shy of £20 on a calendar when I literally haven't used a paper calendar in the last decade

Don’t think of it as a calendar; think of it as art. Not a lot to pay for 12 art pieces!

I need to write this down for when mr FC asks me what in the absolute f is on the fridge in a couple of weeks

The AUS/NZ leg of the tour had officially started and they did two interviews.

First one is for Junkee, done by yet another phannie in journalism. There's video too:



And for a TV show:

[literally_formless]

These interviews were so great! I'm glad to be seeing them get some mass media attention.

[Catallena]

[Grey]

Major missed #spon opportunity (well except I’m identifying it here): Dan’s Doomed baseball cap helps with migraines???? Are you kidding? I’m not really a clothing merch person but now that’s a selling feature.

[Catallena]

Placebo effect for soulmates lol.

They've done two more interviews! One for Radio Adelaide (i hope that works) and another for Radio New Zealand.

Haven't listened to the RNZ one yet, but the Adelaide host has some incredible commentary before the played the interview.

"I had a call after the interview from one of the duo suggesting that 'you might get trolled if you ask a question like that and people misinterpret it' because I was asking-. I believe they've become a couple. I'm not sure if they've got married but they may have got married or they may just be, like, going steady"

I love phannies in journalism, but it just can't compare to a nice older normie who has no idea what the hell is going on lmaooo. From now on referring to them as going steady.

[Catallena]

lmao this video was incredible. I love that they included the fanmade game!

Not them whining about how we 'interpreted' Phil reading the powerbottom card from the previous Incohearent video as if they don't do that to themselves.

[Kurapika]

This video was the first time in my life I ever had that feeling of watching something that was just too personal and not meant for me to watch lol

[Kurapika]

This interview for Junkee is so good. The journalist did such a great job of conducting the interview!

[Catallena]

GOOGLE FEUD

[Grey]

Dan: all these people are trying to work out how to scam off of this newfangled internet stuff. Good old ‘shove your husband off a cliff’

Phil: yeah, it’d be a shame if you fell off that chair right now….

Alright.

[fruitcriminals]

I'm sorry WE have a great view out of OUR hotel room, said without any dramatics, or a freakout. IDK about Phil but I'm calling the army, your mum and the UN at this point

[Catallena]

'Well that's some deeply random lore that I'm sure you guys wills nack on for days like little roombas on the floor of our life'

They know us so well. Alas we knew that already because 2010!Dan did not miss an opportunity to brag.

Very interesting that they don't mention AmazingDan 2 at all. Like I get that they won't show it and react to it, but not even a slight mention? At the end there I almost expected a tongue in cheek joke about how PINOF went on for 10 years while there was definitely never ever another installment of AmazingDan what are you talking about ahum.

Dan said he hadn’t watched this one in at least 10 years which could mean they forgot about it. But I feel like Amazingdan 2 was deleted more recently than 10 years ago which means he must have been watching his old videos including this one, more recently than 10 years ago, right? Maybe just exaggerating the timeline. Or is it possible he enlisted someone else to go through them because the cringe factor was too strong?? If so, maybe they actually don’t remember that there was an AmazingDan 2. Like him not remembering he tweeted about Phil winning him that stuffed monster, lol. (If he deleted it, then he obviously does remember it).

An aside: As a roomba on the floor of their lives, I want to know if they still have all those stuffed animals. The mention of snokoplasm got me watching old amazingphil and Phil had a lot of stuffed animals! Are they still chillin in the phouse? As a stuffed animal fan myself, I hope so.

[Note]

It feels like part of the point of the Terrible Influence tour was to reassess their relationship with the fandom and figure out the right dynamic. I'm stunned at how perfect "roombas on the floor of our life" is. I'm floored.

[wiccamoody]

hii it's been a bit since i've been here but i've been catching up on the year or so (god) of content (mostly because of my 10 year phanniversary being this month, which is insane to think about honestly, but also because they've been rent-free in my mind again since seeing tit in october) and i know this has been said before but i just want to marvel at how comfortable they are with expressing themselves and their humour. it feels so genuine and refreshing, and makes me really happy for them to be at this point. they have an audacity i never thought they'd reach, and i absolutely love it. i think part of me is always going to be stuck on not expecting more from them than what this fic depicts so it's just nice to see them hit those comfort levels.

anyway on topic a bit more: i was surprised at the lack of amazingdan 2 mention, but i went and rewatched it and the ~edgy humour is a bit off the charts for that one. didn't realize dan privated it completely, too. i guess i understand why they wouldn't mention it at all, i'd be embarrassed to bring traffic to something as obviously cringe as that, even if that was "cool" for the time lol

[Catallena]

Honestly I haven't seen AmazingDan 2 in many years so the only things I really remember about it are that it's where the RPatz mask came from and Phil scolding Dan for playing with fire and blowing out a match. But I do recall it had nowhere near the cute energy of the original. iirc was a casualty of the great danisnotonfire channel purge of april 2018, which is when he deleted like half his channel including videos that had become controversial due to stuff like offensive jokes or a sex pest guest star. That was almost 7 years ago and they can't count years so maybe that's basically a decade to them lol. But he must've watched a lot of his past videos before then to decide which ones needed to go.

I also noticed that they cut the bit where Phil goes 'my paypal is [email protected]' and winks at the camera (and the shove Dan gives him) out of the reaction. Interesting to see where the line is these days, even if it's all over the place.

[Neons]

Ha I noticed about them cutting that line as well, I know that video off by heart lol. I was a bit surprised, like you say it's interesting to see where the line is.

Them doing a reaction video for AmazingDan was honestly something I never thought would happen so it made me really happy, felt like an actual Christmas present.

[Jenny]

This is completely off topic, but I've been having a full rewatch of all Dan and Phil content. Just got to the video of them playing Can Your Pet on the gaming channel, and I gotta say there is no way that they hadn't seen that game before. Dan especially! He's always been SO deep in internet culture and I genuinely don't think he could have missed the era of "its so cute!! But ACTUALLY ITS EDGY AND VIOLENT x.x".

Idk, I understand why they would want to fake it so the audience can see the official Dan and Phil First Time Reaction™ , but anyhow I just needed a place to say this lmao. Also I'm glad this place still exists Happy 2025, who knew we would all still be dnp trash after all these years

[literally_formless]

I think you're right, there's no way Dan didn't know. But it's so funny anyway and any time Phil does that one "I'm Evil" look to camera I just crack up.

I'm excited for the tour to start up again in a few days! What new shenanigans will it bring ....
