Re. My take on the Jon Cozart tweet/thing:
I like Jon, he's usually a morally correct/witty guy despite often passing the "I have an opinion on x political subject and I'm better than you for it" vibe; imo/perspective
I first saw his tweet and went "oh no, did he really type that word? Does he knows what he's doing?" but never thought he was researching about a parody, I honestly thought he saw that panel DnP are participating about 'Creating a Community' for Playlist and wanted to study up? And Hank's tweet just made me think he went for conclusions because Jon went silent since then. I even thought it was maybe related to his previous tweet where he said something about "doing things on social media to stay relevant" (even if that's a dick move).
idk what the guy is planning but I hope he knows how easily the subject could go wrong since it's a sensitive topic for so many people who are used to being 'mistreated' by other youtubers and get easily defensive.

In the liveshow, I read Phil mentioning staying in Florida for the holidays but Phil's YouTube video has been cut down because it was lagging. Did dan mentioned or hinting that he's staying around ib Florida or is he going back to the U.K.?

I don't think Dan said anything about staying in Florida or not, he just said something about the internet there if Phil was trying to do a liveshow.
Jon is a good guy, hopefully he's seen the replies about how the phandom gets stereotyped a lot and is fed up with it.

Yeah my first thought at seeing the tweet was, 'wow what an unfortunate word to choose,' but I assume your average youtuber doesn't know about the timeline. Giving him the benefit of the doubt, I thought maybe he was interested in how the Phandom grew the way it did. Youtubers can (and do) shit over the Phandom all they want, but it is a powerful and lucrative force to be reckoned with, and I do see a level of interest/jealousy from some people (one example that comes to mind is my favorite liveshow from that youtube event with Louise and Tomska and Jack etc. where Jack and others become obsessed with trying to get things trending via the Phandom/get more followers). I don't know that much about Jon (despite apparently being subscribed to him) or his followers, but it's my understanding that a lot of his songs go viral at least in part because of the subject (Disney, the election, etc.). He even seems to poke fun at this himself in his Youtube culture song when he says the line about exploiting fandoms for a bottom line and putting on the mickey hat (reference to his Disney princess songs?). I hadn't seen the Playlist announcement yet, but that would make sense too. There's also his recent semi-public/semi-private relationship/breakup/whatever with Dodie, so maybe he's interested in how not to have people obsess over it?LurkingTrash wrote:Re.

I'm definitely team no song though, and think that if he was doing one it would (a) not take on the Phandom in a very positive light or try to appeal to the masses in any way given his usual style/humor and (b) would surely have to at least touch on the shipping aspect and probably make some sort of judgement about it (like 'haha look at all these crazy teen girls reaching and trying to find something where there is nothing' or 'can this many people be that wrong' but more likely the former). And that seems like it would be a bad move for everyone involved, outside of being pretty unprofessional, especially at vidocn.
Also, poor Hank for stepping into this mess. I can't imagine he meant anything bad. Even a somewhat negative song about Nerdfighteria wouldn't really come for him personally in the same way, so it probably really never occurred to him. His response was very diplomatic, though, and I love that he phrased it as if he's set himself a homework assignment. Actually, he probably has.
I find the spectrum of responses we've gotten fascinating, and, ironically, Evan's is actually maybe the most appropriate in my eyes. Though it didn't necessarily need to be shared.
it's a useful thing
About the whole song debacle: I think I'm the only one who doesn't care if Jon writes a song about the phandom, or D&P for that matter; it's pretty normal for youtubers to cash in to what's popular at the time.
I also don't think Hank would just put a song in VidCon without asking them if they are okay with it first, or am I missing any bad interactions between the vlog brothers and D&P?
They are adults after all, so they can voice if something makes them uncomfortable they don't need us to protect them guys

Foot floof! How do I embed an image? (So old.) Waits for someone else. There we go! So it looks like a neat grey fabric on the sofa. Different sheen and texture to the old one in the snug. Linen perhaps? Yellow wood floors with some degree of scuffing and an odd grey rug that almost looks like chenille? Much texture, very grey. Want dark wood floors (for them and me, ours our yellow too). Oh well. Mismatched doggo socks! Yay!sans wrote: Actual lounge maybe?

I agree with every single word. I was in the Sherlock fandom, unfortunately, and what happened to the show was just shameful. In that fandom there were a LOT of queer fans who felt insulted by the representation of lgbt and female characters in the show, and we were queerbaited just for money, left without any kind of explanation afterwards and treated like idiots.awkwardly wrote:didn't manage to reply before the previous section was closedpapierklemmen wrote:

I hope that's the right URL, I can't check atm.
I think one of them mentioned that the Lester holiday will be after Playlist, not before? But the debate is because Dan confirmed that he'll do a ls next Tues, while Phil said his plans are up in the air. I think some people assumed Dan meant that his ls will be regular starting next week, so that implies that they'll be splitting up. I thought he meant just next week, but I haven't rewatched the ls so I'm not positive exactly what he said.

Re. Phil's instagram - I love the grey floof and want one for my feet (to go with my grey sofa and grey rug...I really like grey)!
Me neither, but looks comfy I also kind hate that rug-- I wonder if they are going for brown/grey tones on their whole lounge?SquishPhan wrote:Yeah that for sure is their actual lounge, with a nice new sofa.chunchun wrote:Looks like it, definitely seems to be another couch too.

Dan also said he saved the silvery things from his old bedroom so maybe they have a grey-ish theme for the whole main living area? I'd really like to see some nice decoration pics, if they do have some nice matching tones around the apartment. not a tour, I'd be happy with few pics.sans wrote:Me neither, but looks comfy I also kind hate that rug-- I wonder if they are going for brown/grey tones on their whole lounge?

April 27 joint liveshow timestamps:
:11 - Phil booped box!Dan's box!nose.
:28 - Official jingle of the new place.
1:17 - Exploring the contents of the "props box that didn't make it through." Not sure what that means - didn't make it through to the right room? Or do they have a box for stuff they're getting rid of?
1:29 - The hand-off of the puppet is really cute.
1:40 - Dan wanted to minimize possessions, Phil thinks everything is an essential possession.
2:18 - They've spent an immeasurable amount of time carrying and unpacking boxes.
2:30 - Comparing papercuts.
2:40 - Dan is very amused by Phil's delivery of the moving announcement.
3:00 - Rundown of the reasons why they wanted to move.
3:18 - Phil's eagle joke; this feels quite rehearsed, like they discussed between themselves exactly what to say.
3:46 - Moment where it looks deceptively like Phil is going to put his arm around Dan.
4:00 - The FRIENDS analogy. Phil says, "Are you just gonna go off and do the Joey show?" which would be the perfect place for Dan to insert that yes he will eventually get his own Dan place at some time in his Dan life, but Dan does not do that because we do not live in a universe where Dan and Phil even joke about moving apart at all, ever.
4:58 - Dan throwing boxes on Phil. Are you guys flirting on liveshow time? Because that's cool, I'm cool, it's all cool.
5:29 -Talking about the strange layout of the apartment.
5:46 - Phil reads out 'Get a dog' from chat.
5:53 - "Unfortunately, we're still renting." With sad womp noises.
6:22 - They cut a segment out of the moving video that was about how much they've destroyed it. "Then we thought, wait a minute, this is just like a compilation of how we can get sued."
7:15 - Phil showing off the hoodie he got on Bondi Beach.
7:32 - Phil gets up to move away, says "My pants fell down a bit." and Dan responds, "That's okay, I was looking at the chat."
7:44 - Semi-transparent glass wall. Phil presses his hand against it.
8:21 - Easter Baking
8:43 - Dan's idea for pastel; Phil thought it would ruin the baking but Dan insisted.
9:06 - Dan makes Phil try to say the name of the baking video.
9:43 - "Whisk it, whisk it, whisk it harder."
10:04 - The sheer lack of enthusiasm on Phil's face as he reads, "What's your bedroom gonna be like, said Dan." Then he stops to laugh at it being from Dan.
10:17 - Phil addressing the expectation of Phil to redefine his bedroom setting, Phil saying he liked it how it was.
10:39 - Dan: Phil was feeling quite authentic with his bedroom as it was.
10:47 - Dan has completely changed his bedroom. He's kept everything that was silver. His new bedroom looks like the moon, it has a floating white bed. "I guess you'll have to wait for some kind of danisnotonfire sketch where I'm feeling sad and rolling out of bed."
11:10 - Phil: Show the edge of the bed.
11:18 - Phil wanted to keep his bedspread.
11:21 - Dan refers to his as, "That dusty ikea thing."
11:46 - No apartment tours. Dan says they're a bit cringe. But we will see most of it "as it unfolds."
12:28 - They got some vitamin D in Australia. Dan does his funny suggestive-comment eyebrow move.
12:40 - sjw Dan teasing Phil for it sounding like he said being white was trendy.
13:10 - Dan doesn't want to meet the neighbors, says "If I could just live here for the whole time and just never actually interact with them that would be ideal." That makes it sound even more like there is a set period of time they plan on being in this apartment.
13:39 - Conjunctivitis.
13:52 - Chat asks 'when will you get a dog.' Wording that follows is careful; it would have been incredibly easy for this to go a "When we get our own houses" route but Dan, while avoiding it being an explicit confirmation, took extra effort for it to avoid being any kind of denial. This is how I think they're going to handle most things from now on; absence of denial in place of confirmation.
(Dan: Maybe-
Phil: One day.
Dan: Well. When- when a house is bought, I guess.
Phil: Yeah.
Dan: When there ain't no landlord to tell you what to do. )
14:34 - New gaming setup looks weirdly similar.
14:43 - Dan says it's not a big office room, it's just a bedroom. Cute domestic debate about what makes an office.
15:26 - Phil is excited there are no neighbors, becausethey he can bang on the wall and no one will here.
16:10 - Phil says Dan is like a jumpscare in the corner.
16:23 - Phil is concerned that his face looks shiny. Dan alternates between mocking Phil and reassuring Phil.
16:43 - Phil is disappointed that he wasn't Dan's first Sydney Opera House experience.
17:16 - The flight was intense. Fourteen hour flight to Singapore, slept most of the way. On the way back, fourteen hours awake.
17:39 - "Dan didn't want to play I Spy."
17:50 - Story about the man who wanted to see every meal on the plane.
18:38 - They watched Fantastic Beasts (3/5 from Phil), Lion (Phil ugly-cried), Hacksaw Ridge (direct Christian propaganda but Dan cried the entire second half, Phil commented on him shaking) (Phil didn't cry, he felt sick bc of the gore), Snowden (which was funny but a bit shit),
21:08 - Singapore is lit.
21:14 - Everyone that worked at the night zoo knew who they were, Dan likens it to Houston space center.
21:53 - They saw an elephant wandering and Phil got scared. "I don't think it knows how to hug gently." Phil actually freaked out, wanted to get off the tram.
23:06 - "Dan's the kind of person if we go to a theme park or something, he's got to see every single thing." how married, ew gross
23:22 - Phil makes wet t-shirt analogy, Dan points out how weird it is. He is right.
23:54 - Dan says 'fuck' then cutely 'bleeps' him.
24:45 - Phil has woken up a couple times like 'where am I, I'm gonna die' - Dan looks to the side, not saying anything.
24:54 - Dan has been emotionally detached from his bedroom for the past year, is excited to have one more reflected.
25:20 - Dan explains that filming videos in the place you live - Phil corrects him and says, "You mean the place you sleep?" - I feel like there's something about that we're not in on. Phil's expression as Dan's explanation follows is also fascinating.
26:05 - Dan reminds(?) Phil(us?) that Phil is still filming in his 'actual bedroom.'
26:45 - Phil requested a plant for Dan's filming area, so Dan bought a plant. Phil's grin is so cute - "You sneaky plant buyer!"
27:22 - Snug. Slounge.
27:28 - This apartment is like an Escher painting.
27:41 - There is a lounge that is a lounge upstairs, this is a lazy hangout zone downstairs.
28:00 - The downstairs lounge is where they will film videos. They don't have to carry a camera up the stairs. Not just as many stairs, but still stairs.
28:33 - They want to avoid having lights all over the other lounge.
28:35 - They try to figure out where the gaming room is.
28:40 - Dan has a white piano. We'll see stuff like that on instagram.
29:00 - Dan says Phil's cereal thing is "the worst one" because it's Dan's most retweeted thing, that's why he wants revenge.
29:16 - Phil cleans us. Dan's commentary: Frick, Daddy. Rub your sweater paws on me.
29:43 - Phil asks if they can have a fish. He sounds like he's asking Dan, Dan gives an exaggerated 'up to you.'
30:12 - Bondi Beach - they saw Bondi Beach Rescue.
30:36 - They struggle to remember that thing that was supposedly why they even went to Australia.
31:16 - They pat themselves on the back for the quality and consistency of their instagrams in Singapore.
32:00 - Dan says Phil deserves credit for the pictures he took.
33:43 - Gardens by the Bay description. Interactions like this is where the couple vibe is strongest.
34:24 - Dan cried a lot.
34:30 - Was this whole bit to explain the photo of Dan sat on the ground with the big camera?
35:50 - "We just had to post it," Dan says, about a picture of only Phil posted to Phil's instagram.
35:50 - Dan talks about his ripped jeans.
36:23 - Glittery nail polish.
36:38 - Dan takes his time trying to explain why he felt comfortable painting his nails in Australia.
37:44 - Phil doesn't think he could handle the responsibility of a hamster.
37:50 - Phil says the word phallic; Dan's head shoots up.
37:58 - Phil's laugh when Dan says "hashtag cock-tus."
Liveshow video on Phil's channel cuts off at this point, so I continued using this upload:
:03 - Dan's advice for someone meeting their best friend: "Just skype them before to make sure they're not a dog in a human skin."
:15 - Dan got a bonsai.
:50 - When talking about Dan's next video, they both repeat "Dan is not on fire."
1:16 - Dan's next video is the farewell from the old place.
1:42 - Someone in chat congratulates them. "I mean, this isn't a forever home." "No." "We just wanted to get out of-" "We just wanted to get out and-" "We were just going insane. Totally insane. "And found this."
2:15 - They planted seeds about moving. Phil first agreed that they planted seeds, even using the words. Dan describes it as "insidious" and then Phil (backtracks?) and says, "No we didn't!"
3:19 - Dan's hair blow dries as a wave.
3:28 - Phil complimenting Dan's hair, Dan making kneejerk sarcastic face.
4:11 - The new apartment is gender neutral Thor.
4:23 - Dan is obsessed with the golfing videos, watching it back three times consecutively because it's calming.
4:35 - Phil won't free the knee. (Even though he wears shorts.)
4:42 - Dan asks Phil why he won't paint his nails. (Phil's answer: doesn't like accessories, doesn't like things on him.) This definitely feels like a conversation that we're not fully aware of the context of, based on Dan's expression. Is Dan resentful that people don't press Phil for things like they press him? Did Phil try and decide he didn't like it? Was Phil just afraid people were going to ask him next, because Dan did it?
5:26 - Dan painted his for the aesthetic, curated concepts. Dan says the confidence came from the combination and Phil very sweetly says, "Oh, good."
6:00 - Dan seems surprised by Phil abruptly ending the liveshow.
6:32 - "You will eventually see all the corners of... this room." lmao
6:35 - Phil will be gone for a while, says he'll try with the Florida internet. Dan says nothing? Doesn't seem to indicate to me that he will or won't be staying in Florida after Playlist.
7:05 - They've known they were moving for a very long time.
:11 - Phil booped box!Dan's box!nose.
:28 - Official jingle of the new place.
1:17 - Exploring the contents of the "props box that didn't make it through." Not sure what that means - didn't make it through to the right room? Or do they have a box for stuff they're getting rid of?

Liveshow video on Phil's channel cuts off at this point, so I continued using this upload:
:03 - Dan's advice for someone meeting their best friend: "Just skype them before to make sure they're not a dog in a human skin."

4:42 - Dan asks Phil why he won't paint his nails. (Phil's answer: doesn't like accessories, doesn't like things on him.) This definitely feels like a conversation that we're not fully aware of the context of, based on Dan's expression. Is Dan resentful that people don't press Phil for things like they press him? Did Phil try and decide he didn't like it? Was Phil just afraid people were going to ask him next, because Dan did it?

ANYWAY, IN A TOTALLY BRIGHTEST NOTE: Phil's pouf reminds me of Dan's blanket. I think it's a good match.
