the sims livestream was cute but rip to the regular sims fans who probably regard deps sims as that meme "i want to sit back and relax and enjoy my evening, when all of a sudden i hear this agitating, grating voice" lol especially with the goddamn owl slide

sorry to double post but this tiktok of dan is sending me (warning for very, very minor tit spoilers, like literally just one of the costumes). im now wondering if he’s made it a habit at shows to sneak a handful of someone’s popcorn :lol:

Related to them being young… I was shocked that they admitted in the podcast to sending D&P questions about being retired from YouTube because they didn’t bother to look them up first… what in the incompetence?! If it were me (not that anyone has a reason to interview me lol), I’d be tempted to cancel based on that level of unpreparedness. Luckily for them, D&P are nice. And it ended up being a funny interview- so maybe I should be less judgemental.
Yes it was that overall vibe that made me think they were just young and annoying. I too also enjoyed the worm comment/lack of Dan freakout and it being more can you believe he wouldn't just buy me a worm habitat how dare you :rofl:

hi, i'm [ ;) ]

it's been so long since I've signed in here! I missed it. I watched 15 mins of the sims stream and didn't really care for it but that's because I never really enjoyed the sims vids (immediately gets cancelled within 5 mins of resetting my password) I love that they immediately started being :gayaf:

Honestly I still don't understand how Sims is actually played? All I know is that dnp don't, either. So eh :shrug:


I've been watching some adam mcintyre vids (do you guys know who that is? He actually does Know of the Phandom, he was a big fan of Colleen Ballinger and she totally groomed him and... well, I'm just glad he's doing his own thing now, he's creating good shit) He's been reacting to some of the dream stuff ig, his reactions are funny because he knows as much as I know about the drama i.e. nothing. But he has the perspective of being a young fan interacting w famous people older than them. I think he mentioned the dnp in one of his videos (I'm sorry I don't remember which one at all.. it was just a throwaway reference to them I think) and it always makes me go !! when anyone mentions dnp/the phandom.

Basically he was very active in fandom spaces (so, being aware of the phandom just makes sense) and rewatching some of his Colleen vids are just making me THANK god and just be so grateful for how.... normal and good dnp are? Because seeing his chats with Colleen (when he was 15ish and a big fan)... if dnp talked to ANY of us like that... of course we would do whatever they wanted. Imagine Dan just in your DMs like [omg you are so funny and i LOVE you] good god. I am just feeling grateful, because I'm no stranger to being groomed online and... it really is that easy to just not.. be weird with minors huh. (It is also that easy to exploit kids. They should be protected.)

I was thinking about how this comes purely from them being Good People. Because they too were thrust under the spotlight with no guidelines on how to interact or draw boundaries with fans. They did their best, we know this. But I was thinking about how it boils down to this: dnp did have interactions with their fans and it did get pretty sick and twisted, but only in the way that was age appropriate because dnp never made content that wasn't aimed at someone younger. They have always made content that they wanted to make, and with them, their content and humour grew. With them, we grew too. This meant that they didn't have as imbalanced a power dynamic as some of these youtubers who have knowingly or unknowingly caused harm. So yeah, Dan and us (as a whole) would butt heads, because we'd push and he'd pull and well. I found it so refreshing when Dan pointed that out in the SUIT podcast that the only beef he's had is WITH his fans ("I'm quite sensitive" oh love. oh dear. we know, and we upset him quite a bit I think, on purpose even. Honestly I still feel like I have conflicting ethics about this) anyway I'm just glad they weren't in this position where they could unknowingly hold their power over us and hurt us in any way. We did hurt each other, and that was best case scenario I suppose. It's just kind of big-brained seeing them openly acknowledge all of this. Youtube culture is super interesting and yeah dnp should have a podcast talking about things because the things they brought up.... I could write entire research papers about it..... ok goodbye who let me yap.... shopuld've signed me out when u had the chance

side note: I loved the podcast? It was such good fun, i love seeing other people laugh at dnp's jokes... they really are just funny, I'm not insane... Phil always has a good story omg.... his little comments, like "s'alright" got me rolling on the floor laughing

Sorry if this was posted already, but I just thought I would share here.

KickthePJ has shared his series "Oscar's Hotel" on his side channel. I still remember when this came out and really wanting to see Dan and Phil play as puppets, but couldn't because it was behind a paywall.

Well...PJ has made the series available on his side channel, and the particular part with Dan and Phil is available to watch now:

And speaking of PJ...



Great video, I love how secure PJ is in himself and their friendship that he can genuinely contemplate which one of them he would date lol. Obviously I've never suspected romantic undertones between him and Phil but I do think they are on the same page creatively in such a fun way and I see why PJ would pick him! Love the continued PJ X Sister Daniel lore as well lmao.

ETA: I did have to log in twice to post and three more times to edit. Not sure if it's a chrome for mobile issue or if it still is causing issues for others!

That PJ video was so good! His little "... although..." when he got to the question of who would he rather date (trying to get Dan as his result) made me chuckle. You can see why dnp trust him, if that's the closest he'll get to insinuating anything about their relationship ;)

Hi everyone! Sorry if this question isn't allowed, but does anyone know the password to the phandirectory tumblr? I swear it used to be cherry but it isn't anymore. I tried to go to the passwords hint page, but it's also password protected (lol). Could someone please help me out?

I actually don't know, but I also feel like most of the phandirectory stuff can be found in other places. Were you looking for something specific?

Hi! My friends and I are doing a powerpoint night, and I wanted to make mine a history of dnp (so it won't be distributed online or anything). I've been using public timelines and this forum in the meantime, but really what I'm looking for is a decent archive of their tweets / a timeline of phandom drama. Any idea where I could find anything like that?

Thank you <3 <3 <3

THEY'RE TRYING TO KILL US
You can't overfeed your trusty little roombas like that! We need to be allowed a full charge before we can continue snacking on the floor of your lives.
So one is gonna be the Q&A video of course. And another will feature this cute ass monstrosity:
The only relationship that can rival Dan and Phil is DanAndPhilGames and Dragon City.

But what else do they have in store for us? Sims?

I'm scared of Phil telling us when the next 3 videos are (and they're all back to back?).

I could see the building emoji being the sims maybe - emoji representing dab and evan's apartment. I'm stumped on the beach emoji. Mukbang on the beach? :lol:

The first video was a Sims one! + Dragon City spon.



So judging by the emoji, we get the Q&A tomorrow and the third video is still a mystery (but probably also a Dragon City spon because they come in 2 usually).

the sheer amount of dragon city spons makes me so curious about the venn diagram (perhaps nearly a circle) of dragon city whales who are also dnp fans. looking forward to the q&a tho!

Ya there's got to be at least one person at dragon city who is a dnp fan (and how many employees do they have?? I'm assuming it's not a large company). I kind of think that about the board game company that sent them / sends them games as well - like someone is making some cards specifically for them.

Lots of Dan staring at Phil today. Fair enough because (1) he looks great in that kodak shirt and (2) he said some weird stuff, including:
-I wash hair first. Because that's the fun part. It's like science!
-Hole of the week? I like my nostrils because I can flare them like a hippo
-The photo of him getting changed and wearing wolf ears was NOT a thirst trap (sure jan)

They are not sure what DnP 2.0 is. The liberal use of air quotes around the "gaming" channel does lend credence to the possibility of it getting rebranded into just a joint channel. Or they could keep doing whatever they want on their and keep the name. I agree with Phil that DnP 2.0 was when they came back from the hiatus. Whatever comes next is 2.5 or something.

I'm hyped for the tit film!

i loved this video so much, it totally brightened my day! i had such a stupid big smile on my face watching it lol. they dove into a lot, which was really great! i hope they react to the other ditl videos. my heart yearns for festive because it was the first video that i watched in real-time as it came out since i found them. also it's a fucking banger.

just a note: i've been having login/logout issues. not sure if this is something needing to be kept track of, but it logged me out before i could post this the first time, and i've definitely had to login again after very short periods.

Woo, the livestream has been announced! And all hell broke loose on Tiwtter about the merch bundles and pricing!

Seriously, I feel a little meh about spending $20 to watch a video that will be on YouTube later, but I'm also not into their merch. It's just a little too silly for me to ever rep in reality. Sorry to everyone stressing out over it.

I miss Phil's cactus club newsletters. They were light on content, but he has such a fun writing style. He'd do amazing tv show recaps. Phil 2.0???
