AND INSTAGRAM STORIES? FROM THE BOTH OF THEM?? ON THE SAME DAY????
Not to be that person, but... is he?
Lmao yeah you're probably right. That was probably the reason the piano in the old flat was an electric one that he could play with headphones. He might still practice on that keyboard he had in the filming flat and then show off on the big boy piano.rizzo wrote: ↑Thu Sep 23, 2021 8:31 pmNot to be that person, but... is he?
You spend enough time in the same house with someone who's tickling the ivories for hours (especially if they're working on the same few measures for a while) and sometimes you wanna pull your hair out.
And that's just the reality I picture for DnP, sometimes. I'm sure Phil has his proud moments, but I also love to think about him locking himself in one of the soundproof rooms for his own sanity.
Hiii so good to see you back! I was hoping you would still be lurking somewheresomethingsketchy wrote: ↑Fri Sep 24, 2021 12:34 pm Wow, apparently it's been two years since the last time I visited IDB... It's good to see a lot of familiar names still around!
I've tried to keep tabs on DnP but definitely haven't been following them as closely as I used to. I really liked Dan's Pride stream and am glad Phil is still making videos! I also got Dan's book in the mail the other week. Hopefully I'll be able to start reading it one of these days when I'm not swamped with work or assignments.
As for my personal life, I'm doing pretty well! I switched uni programmes and moved back home two years ago. I'm now studying to become a translator after feeling like I'd lost all will to study my previous major and deciding to pursue my language nerd dreams instead. I couldn't be happier about that change, and I'm also in a much better place mentally than I was at the time of my last post here.
My comments on these insta stories:
That's really interesting and extremely valid. I read a few of the comics back when they were first being published before I kinda lost interest and at that time I wasn't socially aware of any of the issues with them, but my vague memories you're absolutely right about them being cisnormative and intersexist. It's good to hear that it seems like the series has adapted to improve that. I may actually give the first episode a shot. (You hear that, Disney? Your ad did some good. Pay him more.)inanerat wrote: ↑Sat Sep 25, 2021 11:56 amThirdly, Disney plus spon is back, which I really don't care about in any way shape or form. However, from Phil's description of the show I was a little concerend about the overarching cisnormative and intersexist vibes it was giving, however I read the wikipedia article on the show and it's an adaption of an older comic and it sounds like there has been thought put into how trans and intersex people fit into the story and the premise so I'm feeling a little less bad about it. After reading a bit about it it does seem more like something depz would actually like than what I was imagining from Phil's description. Still just rubs me the wrong way a little bit as a concept.
I still can't get over how much Freya is just a mini Marten!
Having most of the employees on part time or temporary contracts make sense to me, and would explain the inconsistencies in customer service. I think I've even suggested that before. They don't really have a standard assortment that sell every day, they do drops that will sell a lot the first week and then not much at all. I'm guessing the pattern looks similar for the other creators as well. Bringing in more people around those drops makes a lot more sense business wise.alittledizzy wrote: ↑Mon Sep 27, 2021 9:52 pm Interestingly, it also appears to say that they only have two employees? Again if I'm wrong someone please correct me. But otherwise, I guess that would mean that the majority of the employees they have are contract or seasonal? It would make sense if there are some people they only bring around on an as-needed basis.
