i'm not having a great week so posting has been by the wayside, but i wanted to formally report for the record (lol) that i liked the video. (and the Sims, maybe my favourite ever)

Regarding the last part of the video, yes it was very sweet how gently and calmly Dan tried to coax Phil to not only curse, but be open about why he didn't do it and giving him another space (his own channel) to do so. He did say "Phil, talk to ME", not, Phil come on tell US, or tell THEM. It's impressive to watch the many ways and layers that they know each other.
this.
this was the only real part that surprised me and felt quite vulnerable. i like the way you've put it here. it's not often we see this dynamic between them. when phil feels strongly about something you tend to see dan express his opinion, optionally whine, but ultimately back down (on camera anyway). the editing was intense; phil clearly still didn't want the moment to be easily isolated out of context and used, i don't think there ended up being much of an uninterrupted stretch of him saying 'fuck' from first to last mouth position (gimme that linguistics). someone else mentioned dan's intense grin and eye contact after and that made the moment feel even less acted out and genuine for me.
kind of hard to explain what i mean, but i noticed of the 3 yoga positions they tried phil had the least movement/physical risk each time, and was steady and solid, while dan flibbertigibbeted and exerted around him. australia ditl fold-over on the floor, radioshow constantly walking, dancing and wiggling hips during song breaks, and tatinof pacing the stage style. coupled with his obnoxious boasting into the camera lens at the end, and phil crinkle-eye laughing at his top/bottom innuendo while not taking the bait answering
back in an innuendo (but also not dismissing the implication, either) and i got really old school vibes from them in this part. the whole video, actually. flashbacks of dan twerking to the camera and phil reaching out confidently to swat his bum to stop before the jumpcut (name that video. bc i can't remember); or cover him, pouting, in glittery tinsel. this is an energy between them on camera i find myself missing a lot but finding it hard to put into words.
like most everyone else, i enjoyed that all the 4th wall breaking came across on their terms, despite being requested. and that they were genuinely having fun, after some rough moments the last few months on that wall subject.

Rewatching and I can't believe Phil said "I'm dogging"
lol me either, except it's the second mention/drawing attention to the term from dan. i just want a R18+ liveshow where i can send in premiums and talk to dan about his porn habits/fantasies, tbh.
