I do remember reading this when it was first posted but haven't really re-read it so it was nice to review the wonderful writing. I took a bit of time to think up some answers so here goes( hope it makes sense!) 1) This...

Re: Discussion of Fics We're Currently Loving

I cant even describe how much I am loving having these two fics in my life right now( despite my overall aversion to wips) They are so different in their storyline perspectives and so well written- I am just glad that the updates are frequent! The last two chapters of this fic really struck home for...

Re: Hannah Hart

This discussion made me realize that I haven't been watching Hannah's videos lately so I went on a bit of a watching spree and I have to agree that there is a bit of an unsettling dynamic in their relationship. At first I thought that maybe Ella is just not comfortable on camera but I dug deeper and...

Re: Gleam Team

That video was a tidy little bit of pass the buck bullshit. At least she didn't attempt any fake tears( or really any emotion?) I do understand that there are teams and layers and lots of decisions involved in any product launch and I do think that whole Gleam crew is particularly vulnerable to crit...

Re: Dan & Phil Part 57: Pinky and the Brain

There has definitely been a bit of an increase in mentions of board games over the last while- I can think of a few instances of them answering questions asking them to play board games on the gaming channel in but I agree with you in feeling a little conflicted on whether they are actually calculat...

Re: Dan & Phil Part 57: Pinky and the Brain

That was an incredible video and I came away from it feeling very positive which is not necessarily something I would expect from a depression video! Dan truly found a great tone and balance on a difficult, personal topic and it seems like he has put something out that has impacted a lot of people. ...

Re: Dan & Phil Part 47: Do it with Dan!

Post Posted by human » Mon Jun 12, 2017 10:25 pm In my opinion, the clear only reason for Phil to have taken this spon is to illustrate his content is gaining maturity. He's 30 and doesn't want to make videos aimed at kids forever, nor does he want to ignore the fact he has adult experiences. I enj...

Re: Dan & Phil Part 46: Some kind of a gay backstory

That was a cute video! I really enjoy their dynamic- they truly are so supportive of each other and understanding of strengths and weaknesses. They are also getting so much more comfortable sharing this with the viewer on a more personal level- we are getting anecdotes that don't exist purely to sup...

This is the thought that was in the back of my mind after my first reaction of them avoid an arms-around-each-other situation. So, I think that's totally legit too. And I often appreciate the reminder that's it's not that deep because I will often go too deep in the hole, since sometimes it seems a...

Re: Dan & Phil Part 45: R.I.P danisnotonfire 2009-2017

I'd rather believe that its all misdirection and Dan and the Lesters went on a cruise to the Bahamas, leaving from Miami. I might even go so far as to wish that the cheeky little trip was somehow involved ( wedding prep?)

But that could be the wine talking

Alright so the move has happened and the re-brand has happened! Is that all that they have been dropping hints about? They laid a lot of the groundwork for these things slowly over a while which leads me to think that they have some kind of a plan so I have to ask: What's next for these two? More do...
