phil was amppeeed during that show. so much nervous energy radiating off him! not necessarily in a negative way, just an observation. i'm surprised he didn't want to archive it on yt, though i just get general 'we're really,
really busy' vibes off them at the moment so it doesn't feel like a meaningful decision to me. in that vein: dan has dark circles under his eyes (as do i) that get darker when he's tired, but seem to be there a little no matter what (ditto, it's genetic). i suspect he wears a little concealer usually but hasn't 100% of the time lately. outside of that i don't have a strong opinion or gut feeling.
phil addressing Phandom Gives was lovely and felt genuine; and when he talked about dan wanting to get him his birthday cake this year instead of his parents. that felt significant. i wonder what phil's parents thought, whether it made them smile to each other (okay now i'm writing fanfic). giggling and distracting his mum when she asked a second time what the word '-ussy' refers to confirmed to me the birthday cake message was intended exactly as i thought, not just an appreciation of the musicality and catchiness of the meme. lmao, you're such a filthy brat dan.
talk about choosing the set design for the tour that day i liked, i want more of that sharing. he sounded so enthusiastic. they may think we find hearing about that process boring but i don't think the majority do.
my conspiracy antenna went up when he explained at length their internet being too shit for continued live gaming that they're happy with. i guess there's no other choice but to move again this year, ey boys?

The problem is that the LS had like 10k viewers but there are over 3 million subscribers on DAPG who have no idea why there are no more gaming streams. The announcement is literally in the middle of a 40+ minute video that you can only see on his Tumblr.
i'm generally unphased by unprofessionalism and poor communication when it comes to my internet-based fandoms, but this is a fair point. being that it's not a personal detail at all, just necessary housekeeping. not being able to continue the gaming streams may have bothered them with the effort they'd put in, especially purchasing additional means to try and fix the connection issues. my above conspiracy hunch stands; they're a little influx and stressed at the moment.
