Dan & Phil Part 86: here, queer & full of existential fear

[Grey]

What are the chances that Phil was on a nostalgia journey rewatching their radio shows, and amused himself so much by his ingenious baby name suggestions that he decided to tweet about them? I think that is the story I want to believe behind this random tweet.

[woopdada]

Maybe he's also getting bombarded with those "It hits differently" compilations.

[Amiaw]

It feels good to see interaction again and gives me hope for more. I wonder if they were having another one of their dumb conversations and wanted to tweet about it or if they wanted to just drop an innocuous tweet interaction to show they are still very much on good terms since I’ve seen a lot of people worrying about it

[Catallena]

those dan and phil guys should work together sometime. maybe film something together. perhaps they'll meet at vidcon??

i miss phil's face

[obvsly]

Sorry to post my own Twitter but I think this kinda calls for it

[autumnhearth]

C'mon, Phil! You left Phil Howell- Lester off the list!

Can you imagine the gasp that would be heard around the world? I have no opinion on marriage, but hyphenating or keeping their last names seems like the most realistic options (Daniel Lester is still a *great* suggestion though).

(I voted for Chester, the hubs likes Sylvester)

when the drought is so real that you will accept every possibility.

also they are such nerds i love them i'm going to cry in a corner now, bye

[plinthofmylife]

Seriously those two are gonna kill me. Everything feels like a breadcrumb at this point.

Well, at least he has bae's approval.

Wow, when’s the last time one of them casually replied to each other on Twitter (outside of Phil‘s comment about BIG?)? I feel like it’s been at least six months.

Dan retweeted Phil’s weakest link video but that’s the only other time I can think of this year

[flarequake]

I voted Sylvester cos the extra syllable makes it sound the least silly. No idea why he’d be tweeting such inanity all of a sudden, but Dan replying made it.

[noodlebum]

Sylvester Lester from me, has a good ring to it

[starwatersong]

After doing my own research, it was around Dan’s mass amount of official II watching tweets.

Which brought me to this one:

[Ataraxia25]

I chose Sylvester because it sounded funny and I immediately thought of Sue Sylvester in Glee and i pictured Phil dressed like her...

This tweet is..... everything

[basicallyimlesbian]

dan: we're soulmates

I love these two

There's definitely something to be said about Dan going on a rant about how people slap labels on someone so they can easily dismiss them but then turning around and saying "fuck TERFs" as if that's not slapping a label on people to shut them up

What do you mean ? Terf isnt a sexuality ?

I can't get Dan's insta story to embed on mobile, but it looks like he's at Glastonbury Festival today?

neither are "liberal" or "conservative" which is what I believe he used as some of the examples

[Templeofshame]

Dan's made it very clear how he feels about transphobia and saying "fucking ... TERFs" is very in line with that perspective that he's been consistent on for years. He's not slapping "TERF" on any individual to dismiss them entirely. It's like that time he put "AYY FUCK NAZIS" in the back of the 23 and Me video. Is this really something to argue about? If someone is not trans-exclusive [or a Nazi], he's not talking about them. If they are, he's not claiming that that label means he understands everything about them as a human being, all he's said is [fuck Nazis and] that TERFs are an example of exclusion and drama within the queer community and his response is "no thank you."

Nope looks like Islington Green. I love this invite:

‘Queer rebels’ heck yeah! He’s finally doing more than making jokes

[obsessivelymoody]

Colour me shocked and proud to see Dan at a climate change rally. But mostly proud. Good on him for it!

[sparkle]

Nah terfs can fuck off. I respect their right to have an opinion - but they can seriously fuck off.

Dan is living his best gay life and I'm so proud of him. I still cannot believe he did that. Like I always WANTED a coming out video, but now I'm actually living in that universe I don't think I will ever be over it.

I'm just over here whispering to my phone "that's my babyyy... look there he is"

Where is that sweater from? His own merch? I love it. Very him.
