I can’t even remember the last time I actually got a notification when he uploaded a story, they are always delayed 6-24 hours after. The only way I stay up to date these days is from people cross postingsnoopysadie wrote: ↑Wed May 26, 2021 1:53 am I just got another notification for a non-existent insta story from dan.
Am i the only one?
I actually paused my kdrama for it i feel wronged
The nerve!
Everyone here has a different interesting background, it seems, that I am truly want to read that opinion coming from the film studies major, that from the psychologist etc 
All of the excitement + the separate thread is making me want to download the audiobook mmmm I'm getting tempted.Levitating wrote: ↑Wed May 26, 2021 10:49 amThe nerve!
I am excited to read your analysis in the book thread!
you cannot convince me otherwise. 
oh yeah that picture was definitely not today, although I wouldn't be surprised if it was late last week or early this week. I'm not exactly sure when all of the Dan book interviews happened, but it would make sense if at least some were right near the release date. also damn, like after all this two of the biggest things going on for them, moving and book release really happened at basically the same time.
Okay I know Dan's response was probably meant to be a dirty joke hence the ".." but at first I thought he was making a reference to John's hug at the Vidcon nightclub and their virtual hugs from the stream last week so that's how I'm going to chose to interpret it.
It's wild to me that the book only came out a little over a week ago. We've been inundated with so much Dan content that I honestly felt like it'd been close to a month for a minute there. I'd guess a lot of his interviews were recorded pre-release (unless live obviously!) but just kept on the backburner until after the book was released. At least a lot of the people I follow who have podcasts seem to have a pretty big gap between recording and uploading. We need a haircut analysis for the ones with video!inanerat wrote: ↑Thu May 27, 2021 9:01 pmoh yeah that picture was definitely not today, although I wouldn't be surprised if it was late last week or early this week.

I'm also very curious as to when family time happened/is happening since Phil's tweet was not specific and Cornelia's cryptic 'family' insta story was yesterday, which doesn't necessarily mean anything since she delays things sometimes too. it's just a lot, their life really is all happening at once right now it's amazing they've been as active as the have.
there's a teeny tiny part of my clown brain trying to hope for some sort of moving week in the life with moving, a bit of the new place, maybe a bit of Freja that has close to 0% chance of happening for a variety of respectable reasons (them being super busy, valuing private family time, etc.) so I am leaving that thought here so I can move on from it
I may have gotten overly hopeful and she’s just doing a Swedish word a day series...
Pretty sure she took that pic at her own house because the rug is the same you can see in the pregnancy announcement photo
Hmm I hadn't thought about this! If the interviewers are coming at these articles/podcasts etc. from the perspective of what's in the book there's really nothing in there (from what I've read and/or heard so far) that would warrant questions about Phil or his family. As far as I've gotten, Phil has only been mentioned once in the intro as the friend and partner in crime he did the tours/radio show with and family so far only as having a tense home life growing up and his mum waking him up too early as a teenager in the section related to sleep. The book doesn't tackle relationships in any substantial way either so those kinds of questions can't really come up organically in relation to promoting the book. The interviewer would really have to be pushing the gossip angle pretty hard to get those in.Phantasy wrote: ↑Fri May 28, 2021 6:08 am With Dan doing the full press tour, is it reasonable to assume one of the “pre-conditions” or questions to avoid is his relationship status, and therefore Phil?
It just seems like the topic could have certainly come up at some point organically, but hasn’t (to my knowledge). I wonder if there were any other off limit questions too, like “how has your family reacted” and so on…
In the book as well as in interviews Dan keeps talking about how important it is to have supportive people around you and how just having that one person to confide in can be life saving. Phil is there, just not explicitly by name!shan wrote: ↑Fri May 28, 2021 7:53 am
To be honest, as someone who's a big enough phan to be here every day, the complete lack of Phil is pretty jarring when we know how intertwined their lives have been for the last decade+ and how much of a supporting role Phil has played in Dan's mental health journey. I know realistically that's absolutely not the point of the book at all, and I'm completely supportive of that, but I still find my obsessive phan mind going 'where Phil at?' as I read and it makes interviews kind of strange to listen to because I'm constantly expecting a Phil mention when there won't be one. It feels especially unnatural after the joint-content blitz of the past 6 months or so.
You're so right! I do have a soft spot for his constant emphasis on 'one person' but I also get a bit greedy sometimes and want that little heartwarming thrill when he actually mentions him by name. Really hope I'm not the only one who gets thatkavat wrote: ↑Fri May 28, 2021 10:53 amIn the book as well as in interviews Dan keeps talking about how important it is to have supportive people around you and how just having that one person to confide in can be life saving.
