Unpopular opinion but I think a lot of us are just tired. It's been a year and a half and we rarely go more than a couple of months without having this conversation (on IDB or another platform). Everyone has valid feelings but there's nowhere productive to go with them because ultimately, what Dan d...

(Just to clarify, I think it is clear that Dan was Phil's first boyfriend and I've often thought about how he hasn't actually had a breakup but I do think there are still gonna be people who disagree because it isn't impossible for what Phil's told us to be true and for him to also have dated briefl...

He mentions a night out where he got recognized as the guy from the commercial in the same early 2009 video where he "predicts" Dan and also talks about trying out for big brother... so unless that happened to him twice that story would have been February 2009. Poor Phil seems like he rea...

There were a lot of curious things about it to me, like the page number already being listed but no publisher. The publisher was listed as Dey Street Books for me, and I've seen a fair amount of discussion about them, the fact that they publish books by other YouTubers, the legitimacy of a HarperCo...

It's still showing on his profile for me, but the link is broken when I click. (It also shows a 5 star rating based on 6 reviews, which I assume is phandom?)

I don't know if anyone reads this thread but I just remembered two big oversights in terms of LGBT sf that I love: An Absolutely Remarkable Thing by Hank Green is one people probably know because YouTuber, but the strange robot/alien mystery of it and the explorations of internet fame also come with...

Book recs inspired by @katka in the main thread, I did a quick search so hopefully these are recs that aren't already mentioned in this thread but I'm not sure. LGBT scifi/fantasy is my area of specialization, at least for this list: Ancestral Night by Elizabeth Bear is about a lesbian on a space sa...

Not to pass on info an anon sent me as if I know anything about it, but I did fact-check; the real estate company Dan followed is owned by a husband from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, and Dan has also followed cast members from it (on Instagram and Twitter). So, it seems to me that it's like...

(@liola I forgot to quote but I was responding to your "social media isn't for that [promoting things], it's to... keep social" which I may have been misunderstanding; on looking back, it seems like you may have meant that Phil's social media specifically isn't for that? I would still disa...

I literally only post on Facebook when I have something to promote, even though it's not like I have fans there, and I use my professional Twitter only to promote things or when I think my thought is clever and relevant to that audience; I think we all have social media platforms we use for differen...

(which makes sense because it's performing arts?)

I've sort of grown tired of waiting for Dan to put out contact or just independently communicate with his fans that he is, indeed, alive, but the fact that he isn't really in contact with people in his life like Louise does worry me a little. As someone who's been in a boxing match with my mental h...

TalentX seems to be a management company for youtubers and digital creators. I’m curious now why dan didnt just stay with Above the Fray Do we have reason to believe Dan left ATF? He's still on their website and we know Fleur was in LA during his most recent trip. I don't fully understand these thi...

Oh now that's interesting. I have no idea what Motion Picture Literary means but I'm intrigued. It doesn't seem to be relevant to Dan; Chris Sawtelle was hired in Motion Picture Literary in 2018, but is currently in Digital Ventures & Talent, which is where Dan falls. Maybe Dan is a more recent...

It's interesting to me that Tatinof wasn't "performing arts" but was "artistic creation." I don't know anything about these codes, but would that indicate a separate between performing self-written work and performing work by others?

Was scrolling on twitter this morning and saw this. I know it’s Wikipedia so anyone could have done this but still kind of striking to see. Dan come back! Even wiki thinks you’ve retired https://twitter.com/welrdkld/status/1242446704319725568 Is it bad that the thing that stood out to me is The Int...

yeah I totally get that and it makes sense, I just love my (apparently non-existent) fourth wall. I'm not asking them to change their behaviour or delete it or anything, maybe I should be more forgiving, but it makes me feel icky to have it be put on that level of platform. This is not really a res...

I came here to post this too lol and... idk it's funny but I'm also cringing so fucking hard like. y'all know that's an indirect and y'all DON'T have to come into fandom spaces and share that shit right? But I know it's mostly harmless it just feels like an invasion to me which is why I cringed too...

Phil can enjoy things without Dan? Dan doesn't have the prerogative on queer experiences? They've been watching drag race together so they probably have the same amount of love for drag shows? I don't think anyone is saying that Phil can't or shouldn't enjoy queer things without Dan. Obviously we d...

I wonder in Phil was there for his friend or just wanted to see a drag show. Either way I hope he had fun! I don’t find it strange if Phil was there alone or with friends not including dan. I hope he does talk about it tomorrow! Phil isn't friends with Scaredy Kat (unless I've missed a lot); I assu...

Dan's listed to run the 2020 London Marathon on 26 April - https://www.virginmoneylondonmarathon.com/en-gb/news-media/latest-news/item/2020-virgin-money-london-marathon-celebrates-the-40th-race/ :running: :running: :running: It's interesting to me to have it associated with his public figure status...

I’ve seen a few people on Twitter claim it was a press night so they were probably invited but the only other influencers that I’ve seen that were there were Caspar Lee and his girlfriend Amber and neither of them said their tickets were gifted so idk. If it was a press night still glad we got a pi...

CBS is owned by Viacom and they have a bunch of channels like Comedy Central but they also stream things so it could be that he was serious about comedy? No yes I know that, I just mean that I'm surprised he's reaching to an american owned company because that can be stressful, it could get complic...

Oh wow. I'm oddly surprised they're at the show? That's so sweet. :') I also really hope they're watching from some hidden-away, backstage-type area throughout... for Cornelia's sake. The fan's Twitter claims she's a few people away from them, so it sounds like they're probably not hidden/backstage.

I mean it could be the same photographer but still, different means for pics. The IRL ones were company shoots to have a professional look for the rebrand, it's just not something Phil has done for his solo merch which is interesting Not to be beating a dead horse on this, it doesn't really matter ...
