Just here to say that the video now has ad's on it so it seems like they got that fixed.

I really enjoyed this video and I liked how phil at least tried to involve sophie in the game more by addressing her and making her read questions out. That was a nice touch. I still liked it more than the last one mostly because I like Pj and Sophie more than Hazel and Tom :shrug: It was still awkward at times but isn't it always when they film with other people?
All in all, I though it was really funny and now I'm looking forward to the gaming livestream this weekend.

Guys, really, it's fine, no need to tell us about your sex life in so much detail. Like, it's nice that you wanna share with the group and all, but there are some things I'd rather not have mental images of, thank you very much

I've legitimately wondered about why Dan does this before and here you go putting all the puzzle pieces together! :rofl:

That's what I thought of, Dan genuinely seemed insecure for a moment there :lol:
the return of the whole macrophilia thing, this time from Phil, delighted me - so often it's dan talking about his kinks and phil either looking vaguely uncomfortable, or like he wants to chime in but can't. the over-lap with something that is so observable over the years (in their photoshopping, in body language, in compliments/comments) is just icing on the cake. dan clarified that it can mean a desire to be small OR be the large one, depending, and that felt very truthful to them. i can see examples of both interests for both of the guys; however dan's body insecurity and his implications that he enjoys submissiveness at least some of the time, cloud the subject in terms of what examples are true kink, and what are not.

i like this point because it's the opposite of what i thought when i watched, and yet i agree it's a possibility, too. i read the situation as they were kind of more unsettled and filled with nervous (positive) energy than they were with tom and hazel because pj and sophie are such old friends, and the stakes are a little higher in terms of potential personal answers. they were a bit giddy to be filming with them, and we got much more uncensored playfulness out of them because of it. additionally we got more impulsively talkative dan, which can veer into overwhelming pretty quick, just something that happens to him when his energy is up. whereas the tom and hazel one felt more promo-y and coworker-y? i actually enjoyed this overall more than i thought i would. their collabs with pj can go either way, and are often imbued with a really strange awkward tension which isn't entirely unpleasant but you're left feeling like he's a guy who knows, and has seen, a lot of things when it comes to dan and phil. lol.

agree with everyone else i would've liked them to do more rounds, and edited down from that, as i think we would've seen them calm down and pj and sophie pipe up a bit, with more time. pj certainly made his mark though, i gasped at some of his little mutterings.

on that point, did the whole thing feel kind of sexual tension-y to anyone else?! was not expecting that with sophie's inclusion, i thought if anything it'd be toned down with her there. pj and phil were kinda hitting on sophie at various points, pj was flirting with dan (what's new), pj was suggestive with phil, and phil with pj (this is brand new). i felt like i was watching the pre-cursor to a swingers evening, lmao.

my stampies:

2.07 - pj (to phil): paper me up daddy. I don't know why I...I've never said anything...
dan: gimme that P. First and last time. (???!! what even is this exchange. Pj never flirts with phil, only dan. and what is dan's response)
2.25 - phil asks sophie what flavour her slice would be. ok.
sophie: (suggestively) we'll have to find out.
2.38 - pj suggests dan be called Big D. gets all blushy and grins when dan tells him to stop.
2.55 - 'can't stop thinking about slice'. is this some three-way flirting between phil, sophie and pj?
3.25 - dan makes a 'what?' face at the insinuation tiny (prostitute?) phil will be paid well.
3.41 - phil reveals dan has a secret wattpad account. no one is surprised.
3.40 - pj: we're about to learn some dark things about each other. (what, like you read phan fic?)
3.58 - dan reads one direction fanfic. no one is surprised.
4.21 - phil: i want to roast dan as much as possible.
4.40 - phil: i'm just trying to be as mean as possible. (geeze, phil)
5.03 - phil: i'm so sweaty with excitement.
dan: you're bathing in your own juices, like a chicken.
5.20 - dan wrote the fanfic question
5.21 - pj: i'm going to get in trouble if i keep writing the first thing that comes to my head.
5.55 - phil wants a self-insert fanfic of himself and god.
phil: we'd destroy the world, and make new worlds together
6.22 - dan acknowledges the table is intimate as it's not intended for 4 people in a row.
phil: we are touching each other in every possible way.
pj: yeah. my leg is *firmly* touching dan's leg.
dan: with intent.
pj: we're sharing a trouser leg.
#KICKTHEFIRE RETURNS
7.28 - dan exclaims passionately that phil always talks about macrophilia. phil doesn't know why he keeps bringing it up. Dan very quickly joins in however, correcting him as to what the kink entails. Dan: sometimes you want to be the giant, sometimes you want to be the tiny person.
7.58 - how does sophie remove all the beavers? interesting word choice there.
8.30 - phil wrote sophie wants to read fanfic about jon snow and dragons. asks which one, the ice or fire dragon?
pj: both at once.
[dan cracks up]
dan: ok pj, we know where you stand...
pj: sorry i thought the question was directed at me...i'll let sophie answer.
dan: scaly threesome.
(...whoa. did pj just admit he'd read a fanfic about a man fucking two dragons at once?)
9.03 - protective phil returns ('put the scissors down dan!) about the sharp pencil joke. aww
9.30 - pj: phil was the sexy dragon. (do you want to watch jon snow and phil, pj?!)
10.50 - phil brings up fitting inside someone's belly button. dan screeches at him to shut up for macrophilia talk again.
11.38 - pj to dan: we'd both have a crisis.
11.43 - fic with pj and tommy wiseau (from The Room).
12.00 - phil says 'hot pj'. i didn't pick it up the first time because he's so quiet! but dan looks at phil very pointedly and the camera zooms in, they definitely wanted us to notice. phil then looks down kind of bashfully in the rest of that part. whaaat the fuuuu is going on in this video (i think dan is wondering the same thing, although he doesn't look mad?)
12.30 - pj says someone knew his love of tommy wiseau too well and guesses dan. cute faces from dan while he's anticipating the guess
12.38 - pj: i think it was daniel. (mmm, call him daniel again, go on, do it #kickthefire)
13.18 - phil questions dan's use of the word 'fantasy' involving him.
14.10 - dan does a sustained (genuine) laugh at a joke phil makes that isn't that funny.
14.40 - pj does a proper giggle at dan choosing him.
15.07 - phil: yes I will never do that again, mr. howell.
15.50 - dan seems very uncomfortable at reading out he has more subscribers than phil.
16.16 - dan: shout out to putin.
phil: no shout outs to putin!
(dan cuts his own sentence off and looks sheepish)
16.28 - dan starts to tell the story of a naked phil covering himself in cheese erotically, and gets too into it. phil puts a hand on his shoulder and the other covering his mouth. it's pretty damn hot. and funny.
18.30 - dan teasing pj
19.00 - phil tries hard to wrap up the video and bring it back to a family friendly place. CapitalLester.
19.25 - dan is going to play it with his family at christmas and tell us how it goes. liar.

I loved the video! I think with each new video we are getting closer to the perfection that was all of last gamingmas and that excites me. I think my fave bit was Phil's genuine concern when Dan joked about stabbing himself in the face with the pencil. So cute. <3

Good video like most people have said dnp took most of the focus in the whole video and the editing didn’t help because it was mostly zoomed on into them. Having Sophie and pj was fun I just wish they would have some people with big loud personalities like Tyler and Louise. I think they have a good friendship level to know about each other and to be mean and not take it to heart.

The subscriber comment- I read about it before I watched the video so I was cringing because of people reaction to it and it took me a while before I could press play on that part but it wasn’t that bad. I know a lot of people got upset over it but phil a big boy he doesn’t need to be protected, they are his friends and know how far they can push a joke. People were more upset about it than Dans read about serotonin deficiency. I first of all thought pj wrote that answer but now I’m thinking it’s Dan. I know a lot of people said dans reaction was worried about reading it out but the point of the game is to bluff and pretend you didn’t hear the answers so you can get a point and win.

Someone pointed out dans comment saying “give me that p.. first and last time.” Wtf was that comment!? because I took that as a big no homo comment and it’s stuck in my head all night. It’s so stupid how a pointless comment can annoy you for no reason but it has.

Ooh, interesting. So youtube took care of that real fast for them, but smaller creators are left dangling for days or weeks. Guess it's not surprising, since youtube itself stands to make more money off deps than smaller channels. Still sucks, though.

Dan's comparison between Phil and macrophilia, and himself and furry stuff on twitter was interesting - I can't interpret that any other way than Dan saying that both of them are just lowkey expressing out loud things they're into often enough that they understand we're gonna know they're at least kinda serious. Running jokes don't usually go on that long unless there's at least speculative interest there, if not an active pursuit of fulfillment with the internet.

This video definitely felt more awkward to me than the first one, yet at the same time definitely more enjoyable. The awkwardness with Tom and Hazel was easy to write off as them just not knowing each other that well, which is a bit boring at the end of the day - but the awkwardness with PJ has a vibe of knowing each other too well, for sure. They are people who spend far, far more time with each other off camera than on and it shows that they're all similarly unsure of where boundaries are with each other. Generally it makes for a lackluster video, but the subject matter in this one melded well with that kind of nerves to be entertaining instead of painful to watch.

This post is gonna be massive so this is the last bit I'll quote of your post, merm, but: fuck yes. The sexual nature of the remarks between Phil and PJ totally threw me off, and I think they threw Dan and PJ (strangely, not Phil) off as well. That specific look that Dan gave Phil in response to 'hot PJ' (at twelve minutes in) is just fucking amazing. I want to know what was going through his mind.
saffarinda wrote: Fri Dec 08, 2017 1:57 pmdo we have any hints/ideas about tonights vid? does anyone know what phil’s buying/playing on steam?
I think he bought Geometry Dash, right? So I expect that either today or coming up soon.

To me that was just the same thing Dan says every time he makes a 'big d' or 'gimme the p' comment. It's like his go to thing, 'never saying that again' along with 'this channel's gonna get demonetized' and other hyperbole. So the fact that it's just a standard Dan response when unsure of how else to react to saying something sexual about Phil kind of nullified any no homo in it.

That was a fun video, though it's hard to follow when Dan, Phil and PJ are talking over each other half the time. I didn't love the cat-scream sound effect, I hate hearing that anywhere (cats are not for scaring for the lolz). I love the image of tiny Phil spelunking down the side of a cardboard toilet roll tube in full spelunking gear. If I had one I'd let him sit on my shoulder for a good view of the world and try not to spoil him rotten.

re the furry/macrophilia stuff - do you guys think they're really 'trying to let us know' that those are their real kinks? The only reason I ask this is because I don't see why they would actually want their audience of however many millions of people combined to know or even suspect what their kinks are. The type of porn someone watches/the real nitty-gritty of what turns them on is some of the most private stuff about a person, I think, and both Dan and Phil are incredibly private people, so it seems really out of character for me. I am a lot less private and more extroverted than either of them, and I still certainly would not be able to talk about what I'm into sexually in a room with friends, in front of a camera and then upload it to be viewed and dissected by my huge internet following. Or if I did, I would be extremely red and stammering at the very least haha.

And there's the added element of are they/aren't they together, which means that if we do know their real kinks, we now have a pretty good idea of what might go on between them in the bedroom if they are together, which isn't something I imagine they would like very much at all.

But then on the other hand, the jokes have been going on a long time now and Dan, particularly, is so committed to the furry 'bit' that I'm unsure!

I re-watched the video and one of my favorite overlooked moments is at 1:38 when Sophie genuinely laughs at Phil's fish food eating comment (and Phil does a little laugh too) and Dan says: "I like that someone is still surprised by how weird Phil is, i need that in my life".
I though it was a very sweet moment.

I don't think the micro/macrophilia thing is likely an actual kink. My guess is that Phil stumbled across some one day and fell into a fascination hole saw more than he needed and now it pops into his head at inopportune moments. That's how his conversations about it reads to me, at least

Now, most furries don't consider actually being a furry a "kink", it's a bit deeper than that? It can be a kink, but isn't necessarily a kink. And I do think it plausible that Dan might have some furry tendencies, but it might also just be a joke? He looks cute in his onesies, in any case.

yeah, this last bit. most of the time when sometime says they're a furry, they're just saying they like furry porn. i imagine it would be the same with macro stuff. neither 'kink' is easy to make real in the bedroom, so i'd say they're telling us about their porn habits more than anything.

But that's kind of exactly my point - why would they want their audience to know about the extremely specific type of porn they watch when they're so fiercely private about almost everything else!

I agree that it's strange considering we know basically nothing about them. And that might also be the reason I recently wrote about feeling a bit uncomfortable regarding all these sexual comments? I don't feel like I am "close" with them since I know nothing personal about them and for that, it's odd to be told about kinks that they might or might not have almost every video. Maybe I am just a TMI kinda person.

(Didn't wanna bring up my argument again since we discussed that; I just remember that blackdenim and I were on a similar page already then so her comment made a lot of sense to me)

See, I have the opposite experience: that when people say they're "a furry", they're distinguishing themselves from people who just look at furry porn. Many furries also look at furry porn, but that's not the thing that makes them "a furry", their desire to be/dress up as an anthropomorphic animal is.

Now, most furries don't consider actually being a furry a "kink", it's a bit deeper than that? It can be a kink, but isn't necessarily a kink. And I do think it plausible that Dan might have some furry tendencies, but it might also just be a joke? He looks cute in his onesies, in any case.
yeah, this last bit. most of the time when sometime says they're a furry, they're just saying they like furry porn. i imagine it would be the same with macro stuff. neither 'kink' is easy to make real in the bedroom, so i'd say they're telling us about their porn habits more than anything.
But that's kind of exactly my point - why would they want their audience to know about the extremely specific type of porn they watch when they're so fiercely private about almost everything else!
I think all of this is somewhat part of their "accidentally sexual" brand of humor, and to give the fans something to meme. Dan's go to is furries and scalies and before microphilia Phil kept alluding to m-preg. I think they've stepped it up a notch because of the tour, maybe it's the type of jokes they will do and they're preparing for it.
But they've been bold enough to do sexual moans in gaming videos so i wouldn't be surprised if they are alluding to stuff they are actually into, who can really say for sure?

Pronouns: they/them

i don't even necessarily think they're genuinely ~~sharing information with us~~ about kinks/porn habits/sleeping arrangements/relationships/anything. given that they mention the same things pretty often, it wouldn't be surprising if those comments do reflect their actual interests to some degree

but i also wouldn't be surprised if they drew slips of paper out of a hat years ago to determine their '"public personas" kinks. why would they ever do that? i have no idea, but i have no idea why they do most of the things they do. it's an amusing mental image though

you guys are right, they're very private people. personally, i would be sharing small, pretty inconsequential things about myself if i was trying to distract people from snooping into actually important private info. obv that works - rn we're discussing potential kinks instead of speculating on a more serious topic :lol:

I don't think I'd categorize it as 'sharing kinks' for sure but it's also possible to be fascinated with something so much that regular mentions end up happening, and for that interest to be a sign of something a bit more deep rooted. It's kind of a gray area - like, I think the furry mentions for Dan and Phil started basically as soon as Dan and Phil met and yeah if someone has been 'joking' about the same thing consistently for eight years I definitely do not believe that is purely a joke anymore, I think there's something there. But the furry thing is also more than just a porn kink, and we all know Dan is into his internet subcultures. On the other hand, I think Phil's macrophilia thing could just be a fascination with it as a concept, not necessarily something he gets off to.

This is where I am with the macrophilia talk. That's exactly the type of weird thing that I can picture someone stumbling across and just being fascinated at its existence. I've certainly done that with plenty of things because the world is wide and weird, and as long as no one is being (non-consensually) hurt, then it's just so interesting.

I though it was a very sweet moment.
omg same I was actually gonna comment the same thing ! To be extra and over analyse the whole thing, I thought it was so cute how he's not even saying that he needs Phil in his life or something like that, like nope that's a given; what he needs is someone who still finds Phil weird. That comment felt so sweet to me and so revealing of how D&P's life is well, one singular life and how much Phil's presence is like a given to Dan.

Sidenote : after watching the video a few times and reading Dan's comments etc, am I the only one who got strangely attached to tiny Phil ? I picture him just living his smol life, cutting cardboard for PJ, eating cereal, having a weird ambiguous relationship tension with Dan and I'm sad he doesn't actually exist irl (kinda like Dil)(except I like Dil way less)
. I just feel like this universe would be way funnier if everything was the same except tiny Phil is a thing and nobody ever questions it

It's even cuter if you imagine big Phil still existing and being very excited over his tiny counterpart, and big Phil walking into the room to catch his tiny version deep in conversation with Dan or like, curled up in Dan's hair while he and Dan nap together.

I enjoyed yesterday's video, not my favorite so far but still really fun to watch. Certainly made me chuckle a few times.

Nice. Though it does make me wonder what they would do on his channel. Hopefully it will be a fun collab.
