I don't even care what Dan tweets about anymore, like yeah another climate change joke, how hilarious. I'd love if he used Twitter to like, say more - especially since he's not doing liveshows anymore, I'd love if he still shared his opinions on things but apparently he wants to settle with climate change/self-deprecation/on-brand tweets every 10 days or so and whatever, it's his choice. I will just roll my eyes and move on. Disappointed but not surprised.

I'm very sorry about Phandom Mom. I followed her on tumblr and she seemed very sweet, it's such a sad news.

It's not the first time he tweets something like that and at this point, like, what is the point? That isn't the way to talk about a situation that is serious and impacts all of us. One joke, two jokes, three... If he wants to use the selfie joke, a better way could've been posting a selfie or a random pic of, idk, something that shows an actual thing to be done to help the conversation, even sipping on a drink with a metal straw.

But Dan loves to be relatable and he needed to fill his tweet quota so I'm (sadly) not surprised?
Meanwhile Cornelia shared photos from a climate change rally yesterday. Sorry for the double post, I just hopped on Instagram and saw her stories. Ah saved by :sparkle:

Apropos of nothing, I watched this old livestream of Dan’s last night after someone recommended it on tumblr, and it was so enjoyable I thought I’d pass it on (though I know everyone’s probably already seen it). As a relative newbie there’s still so much stuff I haven’t seen, including most of the stuff on danisnotinteresting.

that livestream is one of my favorites. probably because i remember being really excited because it was the first stream i watched live?
but then the thing where phil walks in is cute. and the tour of the gaming channel room.

i really liked the youtube livestreams while he did them.

That was me! Lol. I watched it yesterday afternoon and felt it needed to be shared again because it was such a lovely casual stream. Dan when he’s not trying to be “on” is always a good time

I’m in an uncharacteristically good mood today (coffee? upcoming long weekend? you decide!) and as such am hyped for merch (kind of because that’s all there is to be hyped about,,, but! hype nonetheless!). Is it just more clothes or will he throw some curve-balls in? I just hope it’s not hideous because I’ve got money to spend this time around :ourmoney:
Thanks and have a great day! Oil me

I'm mostly excited about new HD pictures of Phil. If the merch is good it's just a bonus (I might have to get socks if he releases more, i love the ones i have).

Honestly same. I can't wait to see the new pics. I'm also hoping for cute merch, especially now that he's made something in black 💙💙 I'm in love with the Fox jumper, I wore it every week during winter, and I've liked everything he's put out so far which might have surprised me slightly but I'm very happy about (okay my wallet isn't but treat yoself right)
Will probably never be over the BONCAS and the beauty of Phil Lester.

Oh cool! Small world. :D thanks for the rec, it was a great watch! I like the YouTube streaming format better than YouNow etc.

Looks like Phil’s store is down! #soon

Just had surprisingly good service with the U.S. dnp shop. I typically order from the U.K. shop but they didn't have my size in one of the items I wanted so I ordered from the U.S. one despite past bad experiences. I ordered on April 12th, it shipped out the next day, and I received it today, less than a week later. Hoping it isn't just a fluke and that maybe the U.S. shop is getting better.

Man I love that liveshow. The YouTube streams they did were truly special. The HQ video didn’t hurt either.

Anyone else have a fave liveshow you’d suggest? I’m guessing most of us haven’t watched all of them even if we’ve been in the phandom for awhile.

Eta: omg Phil does care about people! :happytears:

Ooh I’ll probably just get a black tee but uhhh am I the only one annoyed at their choice of photos? What good is telling us the height of the models when in 90% of the photos we can’t see where the clothing falls. Lauren’s 5’3? Cool. Does the shirt go down to her knees, or...? C’mon!
Thanks and have a great day! Oil me

Aww Phil with a full smile! Interesting that Instagram get’s Phil’s arms but Twitter gets Lauren (for a sec I thought it might have been her biceps in the teaser pic.). I think the black tee would look 10x better with the cactus drawing on it. No new socks... :( But horray for the ethical clothing!

Oh and I apparently have the worst timing. I posted this literally a minute before I got the merch alert, but I think it’s still worth sharing. It’s Sam the Surfer!
Oh link to the vid under the cut!

Okay, now that Corgis are part of Phil's branding, unless he gets one soon I'm declaring a Corgi culture appropriation scandal. Corgi owners unite and protest this blatant display of commercially utilized cuteness by a non-doggo owner!!

I love this merch. I really do. And Phil and Lauren both look gorgeous in those pics.

But, uh.... Anyone else find it a bit weird that he's just sorta copying the designs of sweaters he buys elsewhere? I mean, they're cute designs and I get wanting to use those as "inspo", but... it's just the smallest bit questionable. LOL.

Anyway. Probs gonna pick up a corgi sweater regardless. :shrug:

Ok Phil really let his inner supermodel come out this time for all the pictures but THAT BLACK SHIRT PIC!! :-o :-o :-o

I was wondering why he didn't post it on Twitter after we saw the teaser a few days ago, but then I opened Instagram and THERE IT FUCKING WAS. He looks so good. He knows he looks good. Or so I hope. I hope Dan tells him every day. In fact, telling Phil that he looks hot should be his job for now while he isn't making videos. HAWT.

Image

*cough*

I like the minimalist design of the Try New Things shirts, but the corgi design is just kinda... ugly.

Now can he PLEASE upload a video today? Please?? Probably not until tomorrow huh... :sideeye:

That corgi keychan is cute although I wish it had been more cartoonish like the Fox design. I wish the jumper had a black version too, when will phil realize he's the only one that looks good in such bright colors? Might fuck around and buy the black t-shirt tho, that is nice.

He looks so good and so mature and holy shit??? His arms?? Like fuck me they're really working out this year and I gladly and I mean gladly accept this. Can he do a video on his working out routine? Please? Thank you?

That black shirt photo is amazing! (No pun intended.) He looks so confident, I love it. I’m extra glad for the black version because while I love the white one, it’s a lil bit see-through, so I think I’ll pick that one up. (Also the white one and the socks are now on sale.) And the fox jumper has been restocked! How do people find the sizes run on those?

I might get the black shirt but I'm wondering how thin the material is. In the picture of Lauren on twitter you can see her legs through it.

ETA: Phil changed his profile pic on twitter & I'm loving the look of his layout now.

So if they are making things ethically then it seems like they must have switched suppliers
