Where's the video Daniel??!

lishachi · Mon May 01, 2017 8:44 pm

His tumblr url is now danielhowell.tumblr.com instead of danisnotonfire, but his title is the same. Twitter and Youtube have changed titles to Daniel Howell, but he's kept the urls to danisnotonfire. Why tumblr I wonder?

Moonbeamsonthepath · Mon May 01, 2017 8:44 pm

Now this is just weird. Why does he have a problem with being called Dan?

maybe he's in the process of changing all of his social media and tumblr was the first one? maybe the other user changes will come after the video, or maybe tumblr's the only one he could snatch the username for.

I'm glad he's rebranding but I definitely didn't see "Daniel" coming. I'm looking forward to hearing his justifications/explanations behind it. Mostly I'm just glad there's a new video today because I got myself well and truly hyped for it.

Also - hi! First post here. Lurked for a while. You guys are great.

saffarinda · Mon May 01, 2017 8:46 pm

At this point, I should just take all of the theories here as truth - I'm 99.9% sure one of you is either Dan or Phil, or someones psychic and can see everything they're thinking and is just AWARE of all their future plans it's crazy

Also didn't Dan(iel, what we're calling him now?) joke about how Daniel Howell would be a good name for music vlogger?

Is he gonna start doing only music recs? That would be some rebranding.

Could also be that he's gonna be kind of between the two names (like Louise).

Oh yeah, wasn't there a url he kept on somewhere just in case or something? My memory is not good right now.

I expected the move from danisnotonfire to Dan Howell but I did not expect Daniel
oh boy

I don't think he has a problem with it, I think he just might appreciate the sophisticated edge Daniel has over Dan

Since a lot of theories are coming true, I am now anxious. Wouldn't be the kind of channel I'd watch. It seems highly unlikely but you never know with him :wtf:

jhamba · Mon May 01, 2017 8:49 pm

Daniel Howell. I suspected that Dan's rebranding would be pretentious, but I was hoping for the best. Clearly, I was wrong for having any expectations.

Seriously, though, this whole thing is hilarious. The level of pretentiousness is just so funny to me, I can't. I think I kind of love it, just because of how funny I find it

Bekah · Mon May 01, 2017 8:49 pm

I'm going to call it now, Daniel will be temporary.

saffarinda · Mon May 01, 2017 8:50 pm

Someone needs to find that old radio clip of Dan saying "I'm more of a Dan than a Daniel" because that just got 10000% more relevant

starsandshards · Mon May 01, 2017 8:50 pm

daniel howell... welp, that i wasn't expecting. dan, yes, but not daniel. okay! here we go.

Same. :wtf: Not that I thought the theories were unbelievable or anything, but at this point I'm half convinced someone's a time traveller that's fucking with us for shits and giggles.

us: Dan Howell
Daniel, an intellectual: Daniel Howell

I don't think choosing to use the full name indicates a problem with being called Dan though lmao, maybe he thinks it sounds more professional. Is he putting the video out at exactly 9 10 I can't count or what, I've got shit to do.

And also like... is it really a prediction when they tell us their plans and then follow through with them? It's not magic listening to peoples actual words.

I'm thinking he's gonna start the video with "Hi! My name is.. Dan(iel)"

Mon May 01, 2017 8:51 pm

Different name, same shit probably.

Still think it's pointless and pretty dumb after everything he put his username on, but whatever makes him happy. Why 'Daniel' tho, he always claimed it didn't suit him?? If he changed his mind again is he gonna whine about his username for years a second time before changing it again?

Also I just checked the Twitter for @danielhowell but I'm pretty sure he doesn't have that one. Only @danhowell is his. If he really wanted to I bet Twitter could hook him up though.

he has @danhowell saved on twitter, maybe that's what you're thinking of?

000dia000 · Mon May 01, 2017 8:52 pm

Honestly? I wish he didn't. danisnotonfire made him who he is, he's like every other youtuber now. He didn't need to change his name to change his content.
