I think they posted that selfie because they were feeling good and maybe a lot bit sentimental and wanted to share the happy. It was nice to see. :love2:

I dont usually try to predict Dan stuff cause he's such a wildcard, but I'd like to see a therapy video from him. He's good at keeping heavy topics balanced with humor and I think he would do a nice job with it.

Considering Elle Mills is on the panel, the convo could potentially be interesting what with her struggle with sudden fame and dealing suddenly with a huge audience (and basically breaking down from it) but I feel like ultimately Dan will play it safe and hold back any real personal insight to his experience with his audience and the effect it’s had on his health over the years. But him and Hannah interacting (if we get to see any of it) could be cute. Already cringing at the thought of Gabbie in the same room as him. Overall I’m not expecting much but hey, that leaves room for pleasant surprise?

Were there no creep shots from the concert? Maybe they wanted to head off fan pics with their own.

I agree with your whole post, but the bolded part in particular. Those 2 on the same panel stresses me out and I couldn't quite tell ya why. I think it's because I'm afraid of the things Gabbie might say at or about Dan? :?

Although I don’t know much about Elle, I know that she and her group of friends include Weston Koury and his sister are unabashedly D&P stans. It’s really cool to see this new generation of creators, who literally grew up watching D&P (and running phandom accounts) have so much admiration. Excited to see her share a stage with one of her favs.

Thanks for asking, maybe there's stuff from other Youtubers' threads we need to read up on to understand the main thread these days? I'm lost. (I appreciate explanation Elle Mills and Weston Koury even though I don't know who they are.)

There's no interesting history or anything that I'm aware of, Gabbie is just a stressful narcissistic nightmare of a person 85% of the time (the other 15% she has fun ghost stories :ghostclaps: ) with no filter. Like she could easily cross some lines with a ~joke or comment that she gives 0 thought to before it comes out of her mouth, which I'm assuming is the vibe rizzo is also apprehensive about?

She's not unfamiliar with them, obviously, so it'll most likely be fine: If you watch literally any video of hers, you'll probably get the gist of her personality...

I think I'm just on edge because it feels like it's been so long since they've mingled with other YTers in a convention-y setting and Americans are just... louder.

I’m excited for some potential interactions or collabs with my other favourites (one of my favourites is the clip of Safiya and Cristine (Simplynailogical) talking with them at a precious Vidcon (worlds crossing over!!)

But really, I’m just excited something is happening. Something to look forward to.

i hope we get a collab between dnp before we get a collab with any other combination of people. and tbh i don’t quite understand why people always clamour for collabs between people who don’t know each other, especially in the case of dnp. they’re usually awkward or at best just... lacklustre. even the truth bombs vid with sophie and pj who dnp are actually friends with just has a completely different energy. i guess i just miss seeing dnp being themselves, or the selves they are when they’re playing off of each other. i miss them.

I think it rather depends on when Dan is planning to upload. If he uploads in the next few days/weeks, I do believe that we will get a joint vid before vidcon. If Dan uploads right before vidcon, though, I am not so sure.

Anyway I agree, I am not a big fan of their collabs with other people exactly because their energy is always a bit weird and it gets even more apparent when it's the both of them together in the same vid with someone else.
Ngl, I'd love them to collab with Jenna and Julien or Phil with Safiya but I feel like I'd end up loving the idea of it more than the video itself. DnP just work way better together and that's just a fact. And yeah I miss them too. Please guys come back, ugh.

what are people’s fave dnp collabs? i like phil’s tipsy talk with hazel and dan’s weird porn video with tyler. i think phil is better at relaxing and being a bit more himself in videos with other people than dan is. in my mind there is potential for phil to make a fun video with safiya if they spend some time together first and come up with an idea that they’re both enthusiastic about. i like to think i’d like a dnp and j&j collab but in reality it probably wouldn’t be what we’d all like it to be

Dan tends to go into kind of a nervous energy take-charge mode with some collabs that just makes the vibe really weird. He's technically smoother and better at stuff like that, but somehow it just ends up less entertaining to watch. With Phil I think if he's already comfortable with the person it just makes it really pleasant. That's why him with Hazel always worked for him. (And I'll be honest - I actually liked his collab with Shawna before we were all collectively made aware of... Shawna.)

Dan and Tyler had such a good chemistry, though. I love all the videos they made. Dan and Louise also aren't bad, but Dan+Louse+Phil was.... some kind of weirdness.

Phil with PJ is always adorably quirky and cute, also him and Jim Chapman was just cute overload. His chemistry with Hazel was great too, like any time Dan and Tyler collabed, those are all amazing. The ones with Carrie too, I feel like her giving Phil singing tips flew under the radar and still his singing voice isn’t made much fuss of, at least in my opinion cos I love his baritone so now I think of it, I’d totally take a Phil and Carrie duet. Oh, I’d forgotten Dan and Louise too, their chaotic energy together is another level.

My favourite Dan collabs are the ones with Tyler Oakley as well, they’re absolutely hilarious together.
And Phil and his mum, obviously.


A little off-topic, but I just watched this very sweet video of a Korean couple. I hadn’t heard of them before but think I’ll subscribe to their channel.
Their getting-together story is very similar to that of Dan and Phil: one watched the other on YouTube, went to a fan meet-up, got to know him and they fell in love. It was really sweet to listen to a couple just openly talking about their relationship like this.

I loved Dan with Tyler and also the vid he made for Anthony Padilla's channel was very good imo.
Phil with Hazel was a good combo too. (I forgot to say it in my previous post but another dream-collab for me would be Phil and Rosie from Rose and Rosie because I swear.. they're the same person).

I think they might film a collab/some collabs while there, but I don't believe they'd post them before their first joint video. They do know their audience, at least a bit.

I'm a bit :shrug: on the collab front. I do love deppy and I love Safiya, but I'm worried that such a collab would just be awkward. Saf has her own brand of humor, and unless they vibed super well, it has the potential to be awful.

I second Dan with Tyler, although Phil with Tyler was okay too. I'm just remembering all the youtubers they collabed with, like Joe, Caspar, and Connor. Nostalgia. I did like the one with Joe.

One of my least favorite collabs, other than Shawna, has to be the one with Rosanna Pansino. This is a perfect example of awkwardness and no chemistry. I enjoy Rosanna on her own, but with dnp the video was a disaster in my book.

My dream collab would definitely be jnj or Saf and Tyler, but I agree that chemistry is an issue that might work better with Saf (and Phil) because I think that what makes jnj and deppy work so well together as a duo separately is how good their chemistry is together, which is probably part of why neither of them collab with people anymore.

I also agree with waveydnp about favourite collabs. Maybe that's because I was a huuuuge Tyler stan before I was into dnp and because I have a fascination with Hazel, but they're just very good. Despite how...unique the energy is in videos with Lousie, I love Our Awkward Fancy Meal a lot. It always cracks me up. Oh and I like the blooper with Dan's mum for the prank call video they did together.

I find it really interesting how Safiya seems to be more.. into? Phil. You'd think at first she would vibe a lot better with Dan but I actually think she and Phil could be amazing. I also feel like there's a genuine interest in each other as people, what with meeting and obviously talking over DMs and it seems like she's particularly interested in collabing with Phil and not DanAndPhil which I think would make for a real awkward dynamic.

I would love either of them to collab with Cristine and Ben, I've been dreaming of Cristine teaching Phil to paint Dan's nails for months now.

I think my favourite collabs of Dan are with Louise, because you can tell there's a genuine relationship and they always make me laugh like a moron, the awkward dinner one is probably my most watched Dan video
Will probably never be over the BONCAS and the beauty of Phil Lester.

I liked a collab they did along with Louise on Joe’s channel (I think. Maybe it was Casper) where they were trying to communicate without being able to hear. I liked Dan and Phil interacting in it more than either of them with other people though, so I’m not sure that counts. They did something similar on Cat’s channel.

I can’t see Safiya doing a collab. She must be interested from their interactions on Twitter, but I have a hard time imagining how that would fit into her regular content. I don’t think I’ve seen any guests on Safiya’s channel besides the experts on hair/makeup/etc that they sometimes talk to. A collab with another YouTuber just seems like it would be a strange video for her channel. Same with Jenna and Julien. Are collabs still a thing?

Phil collabing with Rosie would be amazing though. And with Ryan and Shane from Buzzfeed Unsolved. Why limit your dreams, right? Ryan and Phil could probably have an interesting conversation about ghosts actually.

Safiya does periodic collabs with Cristine and Corinne (from Threadbanger), and they seem to me like the kind where they're actually enjoying hanging out. (I think I first discovered Safiya from collabing with Corinne, and Cristine from collabing with both of them.) Which is somewhat encouraging to me that maybe if she did collab with Phil, they'd get comfortable enough to overcome the awkward and get the chemistry right. But who knows.

I really want Jenna + Phil to do something weird like they do, and Dan and Julien to be behind the camera making snarky comments. It's all I've ever wanted in this world, really.

But I'd also love Saf + Phil collab, but Dan would definitely need to be there for the humor to be complete. I think Dan and Saf's humor is a closer fit, but Phil and Saf make similarly kinda ~weird~ or ~trend~ videos. I think another Viewers Pick my Outfits with Saf and Phil with Tyler and Dan commentary would work well.

Always down for more Danler, and I think they do so well together.

Honestly, whatever, I just want more content. And I want content where Phil is not all alone at a super tight camera angle.

tyler has been really into doing collabs recently, and they’re very similar to the ones I watched back in 2014 so I’ve actually been watching his channel in these last couple of weeks, which is strange to do after like four years of nothing. I could definitely see him wanting to collab with dnp and I reaallly hope they want to as well!

I genuinely am very excited for the content that might come out of VidCon. I still remember when it was just accustomed that every big youtuber was at vidcon, and that auguest by tyler oakley was the highest caliber of content. god I miss it.
