Tide Pod Game 1 by the flower crown
Police Bondage by the handcuffs

What might be Can Can 1 also by the flower crown, or maybe Candy Land?

The ones to the right are harder to read, but one looks like it starts with Backo, under the makeup brush and another looks like Need. I have no idea tbh.

My thoughts re: “Police Bondage”
1. what
2. the fuck

And “Can Can” could explain the fishnets, to which I say: refer to my thoughts on police bondage.

I’m not sure how these things can possibly make us see them as people and not personas but sure, I’m down. Is it weird to want them to put edible tide pods in the vip bags?

My understanding was that he was being sarcastic about the fishnets, given the bit with Dan saying, "Yep, nothing to do with the projector screen..."

Re: Police Bondage and all the other weird prop shit... I'm taking it as the show addressing one of Dan's themes: "The consequences of giving the people what they want and whether it's a good idea or not." As in, they'll give us police bondage and we're going to hate it. (Which tbh just reminds me of the fanfic bit of TATINOF and that makes me want to melt into my seat from cringe.)

Can I just say about the fanfic part in tatinof that it was about on par with the cringe of a lot of the show (no offence to the show as an overall experience)? I’m interested in why that one part seems especially cringey to so many people. Is it because they/we don’t want a mirror turned on us as observers? We want D&P to pretend to be unaware about certain fandom activities or interests because it can be uncomfortable? Because I think it must be equally uncomfortable for them to have to turn a blind eye toward certain things (to varying degrees, granted) to maintain.. what? Distance? Feigned ignorance? And for what? Because I don’t think there’s any particular judgement inherent in acknowledgement. The fanfic section wasn’t about judging or mocking partakers of fanfiction, it was a comedic representation of them, as actual people with agency, being put in situations a lot of people like to imagine them in (taken to a ridiculous extreme, of course, for a comedy show about the internet exploding) and how they might feel about it in reality (and as a result of that, how it would differ from the fantasy). And I think the thought process behind that (viewer fantasy vs. D&P reality) is behind a lot of the weirdness of some ‘Dan being Dan’ moments (like the aggressive feeding of Phil while staring down the camera and the Phil/jacket story, and probably too many others to name). I think the concept of this tour (and the steady humanizing of themselves they’ve both been intentionally doing since the end of the last tour to lead up to this) is really cool. Those Dan moments, the fanfic section to a lesser extent, and (in theory so far) this whole tour is just them asserting their own humanity outside of their roles as performers. It’s just?? I like??

(but like. Yes, there’s still fear. Why are there handcuffs.)

Anyway, just scrolling through the form has me a little wary of how this is going to be a step away from their personas, even a little step. I'm sure that's just me being worried about the show having super cringe scenes like tatinof did (which idek why I'm worried about that, I should just wait to see what people say after the first show), and I'm kind of struggling to find things that make me step away from their personas to fill the boxes with.

Also to what alittledizzy said about them using persona heavy questions and answers to move away from that part of their branding, I really hope that's what they'll do, or at least filter out the really heavy ones for when they preform.

What if I don't want to fill out one of the sections?
None of the website is mandatory! If you only want to suggest one Truth Bombs answer for Phil, one funny 'good word' and a Dilemma for Dan - that's fine. Leave anything you don't want to answer blank.
