I also approve of this:
Odd that they are so active on social media this evening.
I find that that's quite a Thing when it comes to gay men; people who seem a little too excited joking about how disgusted they are by girls and want nothing to do with them. It's so weird especially since most of the people joking ARE girls, and I guess it might come down to them just not understanding how gay men work and maybe some internalised misogyny, but I have no idea why they're so into the idea. Maybe it's the 'I'm not like other girls' issue of not knowing how to celebrate something (in this case, gayness) without putting something else down (women).spaceguitar wrote: ↑Fri Jul 19, 2019 2:56 am So are they in the desert again?

This is v true, I can only hazard a guess that he would go super early or late, with a cheeky hat or something. Maybe general hiatus time also meant he was a bit more under the radar. Idk I can't really figure out their level of fame, in YouTube terms it is huge but I don't know how that translates to their day-to-day lives.stufflizloves wrote: ↑Fri Jul 19, 2019 3:58 amthis exact reasoning was why i was so shocked dan never was spotted during his marathon training. some of the runs you do are ridiculously long and he indicated it took him all over London. i’m definitely glad for his sake (and his safety & security) that he was able to do so in a chill, under the radar way but i still am a little surprised he was never once spotted (not even a speculative sighting tweet! eg “did i just see dan howell RUNNING?? can’t be” ..just folks discovering his london marathon registration.) makes me wonder if he goes totally stealth mode.livoy wrote: ↑Fri Jul 19, 2019 3:25 amI would say they're just more likely to run into fans in Vegas considering its July so more people are on holiday and generally just out and about.

Someone tell me why I die laughing everytime I read the phrase 'dicked down in the desert'
you'd be surprised how low key londoners are. i've seen half a dozen celebrities walking down the street, totally unencumbered (youtubers included). also seconding the comment about ubers, there's no real need to use the tube unless you can't get somewhere by car. also every possibility he did training at home on a treadmill sometimes, and like others have said, late at night/early in the morning.livoy wrote: ↑Fri Jul 19, 2019 4:28 amThis is v true, I can only hazard a guess that he would go super early or late, with a cheeky hat or something.

Chest voice is the one that we normally speak with, whereas head voice is like when you eat a hot potato and try to speak with that. I understand the head approach for singing voice, but in mainstream music it's all about the chest voice and the power you get with that. Celiné Dion beats her chest when singing sometimes, for that's where her voice is coming from. Very few male singers in mainstream have been known for their voice (alone).
Thanks for posting this! It was so insightful! Made me think again about the difference between Dan’s and Phil’s coming out vids. I’m not sure if Phil just gives no f***s about needing to explain his confusing (albeit less confusing than Dan’s) portrayal of his sexuality or if his explanation would have just been “because of Dan” and he didn’t want to say that, but either way I respect both of their videos. Dan’s just made me extra happy because it explained so much. I really admire how he acknowledged that he had been confusing (not that he owed us an explanation, but I did appreciate it). This video was filled with such praise (and not empty flattery, but well-thought out ) from a gay peer (granted with a much smaller platform than Dan)! I hope Dan sees it.plinthofmylife wrote: ↑Thu Jul 18, 2019 11:54 pm The Right Opinion uploaded a video on coming out videos in general and why Dan's is so important:

Just to correct myself because I can't bear to leave it wrong, it was welcome to the black parade not I write sinsnoodlebum wrote: ↑Fri Jul 19, 2019 10:26 am I always remember during singing yasuhati, when Phil does an awful tuneless beginning of I write sins not tragedies, and Dan's like 'Phil you can actually sing - what are you doing?!' (or words to that effect). I can't imagine them doing any singing videos except in games/tiny little asides, but it's a nice idea for sure.

I hadn't hear of The Right Opinion before so looked at a few of his other videos to get an idea of what to expect from his video about Dan before I watched it. He seems to be someone who shares a lot of controversial and potentially divisive opinions particularly on fellow YouTubers and their various scandals and dramas, so I was a bit worried about what he'd say. Actually, he had nothing but praise for Dan and his video, and seems to have been affected by it on a personal level as well as having admiration for the work of a fellow creator.plinthofmylife wrote: ↑Thu Jul 18, 2019 11:54 pm The Right Opinion uploaded a video on coming out videos in general and why Dan's is so important:
As a very new fan, I've been going back and watching a lot of older content, and Phil's references to fancying Sarah Michelle Gellar and casual mentions of past/future/potential girlfriends don't quite go along with the impression Phil gives in his video of being happy and confident in his sexuality once he'd started coming out to people. At the same time, if he wasn't going to talk publicly about being gay then it would have left him in a position of literally never saying a word on the topic of sex and relationships which would have been really difficult, so I get why it was easier for him to handle it the way he did.Susanisnotafish wrote: ↑Fri Jul 19, 2019 10:08 am Made me think again about the difference between Dan’s and Phil’s coming out vids.

I think Phil stopped the timeline of his video before the whole career portion for exactly that reason. It kind of excused himself from having to even step anywhere near what being outed did to/for his career, or Dan, or any of that. I think that he's a confident enough person that now he probably feels protective of the choices he made and not ashamed of staying closeted professionally when it was the best decision for him, but it would be fascinated to hear him address that one day.thatspecificboob wrote: ↑Fri Jul 19, 2019 3:57 pmAs a very new fan, I've been going back and watching a lot of older content, and Phil's references to fancying Sarah Michelle Gellar and casual mentions of past/future/potential girlfriends don't quite go along with the impression Phil gives in his video of being happy and confident in his sexuality once he'd started coming out to people.
