it's at 4:00 if you're interested in watching that part. he says it's a really cute photo a couple times, recreates it, and that's about it.
i'm really surprised that this is the first i'm hearing of this and that i haven't seen anyone talking about it. it's funny because, if we're just basing it on this video which was posted a week ago, his views don't seem to be doing that well. based on the number of subs he has, at least, i'd definitely expect him to be getting more. and seeing as dan is literally half the thumbnail it looks like he was counting on those phandom views so it's ironic that i haven't heard a single person talk about it.

Dan also liked Joey's tweet about this video when he uploaded it and it seems like that didn't even help it. I did laugh a little when I was looking at the thumbnails for Joey's videos though - the thumbnail for his video about moving with Daniel looked very similar to deppy'ssugar wrote: ↑Tue Jun 19, 2018 3:10 amfieldoflovers wrote: ↑Tue Jun 19, 2018 2:49 am So the most recent Joey Gracceffa video mentions Dan i'm p/sure because he recreated youtuber Instagram photos and had one of Dan's as the thumbnail, so my question has someone watched it?

Thanks for the timestamp @sugar and I wonder if deppy are bothered by that particular form of youtube clickbait, because i can't imagine it'd be fun to see their faces being used to boost other people's views (esp when their own haven't been super high)Amiaw wrote: ↑Tue Jun 19, 2018 3:17 amDan also liked Joey's tweet about this video when he uploaded it and it seems like that didn't even help it.

I saw the video and wished Joey had looked into more about why Dan was wearing yellow (tshirt; reading the text under it).
Oops I saw the video when it went up but it didn’t even occur to me to mention it as it was so thirsty and desperate for views lol. Sorry pals!
It also annoyed me he didn’t bother to paint his nails for it like Dan did. Lazy attempt.

I saw Joey's video when Dan liked the tweet too lol, not worth my time. But YIKES, those views...
From the 2 minutes I saw, I absolutely agree. Not super hard to mention it was for a mental health charity...starwatersong wrote: ↑Tue Jun 19, 2018 3:31 am I saw the video and wished Joey had looked into more about why Dan was wearing yellow (tshirt; reading the text under it).

I watched it when I saw that Dan had liked Joey's tweet about it, but have to agree with @human on that it was a lazy attempt. He'd even photoshopped in the flowers from Dan's picture.
I got my pink D&P hoodie delivered today! I love the color and its super soft, but i really wish they would have used Sarah for a sizing reference again because i went with an XL just to be safe and now that I've tried it on I really wish I would have went with a large because its pretty baggy. Oh well, I guess it'll just have to be an extra cozy loungey hoodie instead.
Also i'm not sure how accurate the "so&sos's spotify" twitter accounts are. But LOL at the shade if this is real

Yeah, I mean while I laughed at the tweet, I'm not entirely sure how real/accurate they are considering this was tweeted about Phil's account, which seems kinda of ooc imo. Oh well lol
good morning!
You know what this is?
This post is Sparkles daily request for a new dinof video
This post also comes with a complimentary essay/waffle!
I'm feeling optimistic about it being today for a few reasons.
1. Rize livestream tomorrow (?) so it would be cool for Dan to direct us all to that to remind us that its TOMORROW - and also give us something to talk about with them
2. its their week off - if Dan doesn't upload something this week i'm going to be shocked
3. whatever he did upload, he has a long enough buffer before the next m&g if it causes any #drama - Phil could upload, theres a livestream, there could be a gaming video
4. he did say 'june video' many, many moons ago.
5. he could've been vlogging all of UK/Europe and upload that into one mega video which would be very different, but very nice
reasons I'm not feeling optimistic
1. its Daniel Howell and he's uploaded 3 videos in 6 months.
2. its very VERY likely to be a tour trailer which is fine (obv) but its a very risky move after THAT much of a gap - it'd make more sense for it to go on Phil's channel
3. he's got a week off so he could be using that to film, rather than uploading today
4. Phil could also direct us towards Rize by uploading today
However, I would like a new video from Dan. I think we'll get a video today though. Maybe Phil?
The OTHER thing that i was thinking of at midnight before I went to bed. Is based on something I briefly skimmed over in the last thread - I'm going to put it in spoilers because of the incoming waffle but I REALLY wanted to discuss Dans sexuality/Dan having a boyfriend/Who might not be Phil/in relation to a video too.

Oh yeah, I also watched Joey's video when it was uploaded but I didn't find it worth mentioning either. Regarding his views, they tend to fluctuate. Joey is one of those Youtubers who've been making videos since 2010 and has probably garnered a lot of subscribers who are now inactive and who aren't interested in his content anymore, while still gaining subscribers every day and getting loads of monthly views due to how frequently he uploads. I always find it interesting to see how first/second wave Youtubers are holding up these days.
@sparkle Yup, I've been wondering about this as well (for weeks) but it's kinda difficult to predict what he's going to do. Like, I do think Dan could upload something today so he could promote Rize and briefly discuss his video during the liveshow but I also don't really get the impression that he's been working on anything. I mean, it could be some sort of tour highlights vlog, which I'd love to see but that's the type of video I'd expect more on Phil's channel than Dan's. After GTPWTW, I feel like he'd also want to upload something more "Daniel Howell" and which doesn't feature Phil all too much. Though he might just go for the trailer since that's probably already been edited and good to go... or nothing at all, we'll see.
Poor Phil, he must've been so confused. I'm pretty sure Elijah also started following him because of this

thats what i'm struggling with too. A tour video on Dans channel - with more subs - makes sense. But I cant see him doing two 'tour' videos 'with Phil' next to each other, its not very Dan.dancy wrote: ↑Tue Jun 19, 2018 8:30 am

wow i had completely forgotten that rize livestream was so soon. i remember when they first announced it that people said screen recording was looking like it wasn't going to work. how likely are we thinking it is that if you don't catch it live you'll miss it? usually when they go live its while i'm at work and i would hate not to be able to watch it later on
i'm hoping it won't be isg because he's only uploaded 3 videos since the last one. but also at this rate i wouldn't be surprised.
Also interesting point about if he makes a coming out video Phil will likely have to be included. Especially if he does it in his typical storytime video format, Phil will have to play a role in that story which is either supportive best friend or secret boyfriend. It would be pretty hard to get around that without being super vague.
(i don't think a coming out video is likely to be his june video though, and i'm not sure if it will ever be a video he actually makes because to me he doesn't seem like one for official coming outs or labels, but who knows)
okay i've been making myself try not to build up anticipation for this Dan vid cause tbh who knows when this boy will upload or what it will be. but now that you've suggested this it got in my head and i want it to happen so bad. i know its most likely not going to be this but i would love it

I agree with you that it seems very likely that dan has a bf (whether its phil or someone else). However i also like that you included the possibility of him having casual sex because this actually also seems very possible to me as well. idk with this 2018 dan attitude i can kind of just see him out there living his best hoe life

I'm on team neither of them are ever gonna come out, but if they did announce themselves, a fun way might be 15 seconds of "By the way, we're a couple". "Surprise!" and throw confetti.
Did they say the liveshow is at 8pm? Now that they're home I guess it'll be London time, but I'm guessing people have figured that by now.

@sparkle that was quite a read but i agree wholeheartedly. as for the video, IF it is a "coming out video", then it must be a pretty fucking scary thing to film considering how its such a big elephant in the room, therell be chaos no matter what. if were going to stick with this idea, i think itll be more focused on dan's sexuality rather than "their relationship - whatever it is". sure, they might talk about it but ultimately, i dont think theyd wanna put heavy emphasis on it. im camp "they dont have to officially declare to the world that theyre gay/bi/queer/etc." but at the same time, the fandom is such a big part of their lives that i feel like at the way they are going now, itll be a topic that theyd have to discuss anyhow. as much as i agree with @flarequake , i think a cheeky casual insta story would probably work BUT i have this feeling that its an option but more of a phil idea than a dan idea. i reckon dan likes explaining things, so whether phil is in it or not, hed wanna want to talk more in depth about sexuality himself.
editing this cz id like to add: instead of directly going "this is what were doing now so suck it" without explanation, "this is whats happening right now and heres why" is more diplomatic and they will be more in charge of the narrative rather than be bombarded with questions. they dont have to explain everything right down to the last dirty detail. theres a benefit of them taking charge of the topic, its that they can choose how much to share and what is necessary to keep to themselves.
the video could be anything honestly and id be happy with it, but IF it is going to be about sexuality, then i have faith that theyll do it with grace.

Good morning thanks of the complimentary essay
While I would love number 5, I’m thinking number 3, and I’m not sure how or when or where the trailer will fit in.
I am excited for this (probably) mess of a livestream tomorrow. Please please let it be watchable on Tumblr or YouTube or let someone upload it after.
I saw the thumbnail for Joey’s video and thought nope. Disappointing to hear the charity didn’t get a mention.
And yeah those parody Spotify Twitter accounts fooled me for a sec, a couple of days ago, but if you go to them and scroll it’s pretty funny.
Speaking of scrolling, a tiny self promo if I may. At the end of February I started a little side blog project of compiling all of Dan and Phil’s Instagram photos together to tell a more cohesive, complimentary, chronological story, since you don’t get to see what they posted around the same time in the same place. This was before I knew they would be doing stories for tour, but 396 posts later, I’ve finally caught up and am current! I don’t know what to do with myself now.
So if you’re ever bored and just want to scroll back through the months and years, for nostalgia, check out: https://www.tumblr.com/blog/phan-stan-gram
I’m pretty darn proud of it. Even if you follow it already or have seen individual posts in the tags, I encourage you to view it as a whole. A lot of the individual posts are simple, even boring on their own, but when viewed together I think they paint a nice picture/story. I take a lot of pride (too much probably) in getting a good visual flow. (Also I apologize for getting carried away with the Singapore vacation pics ) Cool, thanks, bye!

Ooh where are they, what is that on the plate, who are they with, inquiring minds need to know.
Also did we talk about Phil's tweet? If so it was on a different thread so I'm reposting it anyway because I love it.

Phil's IG story looks like some kind of fancy dessert? I hope him and Dan are having a celebratory lunch
Raspberries, chocolate shavings, marshmallows, and maybe the thing in the middle is some big ass strawberry on a cake?

It looks like a scoop of strawberry, or raspberry, sorbet on the cake, and maybe the pastel domes are meringues?
