Dan & Phil Part 81: Now what?

[Ablissa]

Ugh, I love them. If they did more insta stories I would be handling the drought way better than I am. They're so sweet and happy

By the way, apparently Dan followed Marcus Butler on insta... I hope they are not doing a collab?

Edit: sorry for this trash at the top of the page

[rizzo]

I feel like I got an itty bitty danandphilGAMES video today and I really appreciate that. :’)

[Catallena]

Instagram stories of happy boys filming each other playing arcade games? Finally some good fucking food.

By the way, apparently Dan followed Marcus Butler on insta... I hope they are not doing a collab?

Judging by the last picture Marcus posted, I think Dan is just being horny on main.

[plinthofmylife]

Looks like they had an arcade night and I'm in pain

i love being a full time internet third wheel

+10,000 to both

[autumnhearth]

Phil missed the opportunity to call Dan ‘DJ Howell’. Looks like an awesome night. Arcade Club claims to be the biggest video and pinball arcade in the UK.

[missemma]

Arcade Club is cool, I hope they also drank cocktails there

Dans train selfie is my new favourite thing, so much so I made it my phone background haha. More of the same please lads.

Has anyone else noticed ATF's recent website update - no Tomska - and no Marianne

(*just putting a caveat here to make clear that there could be a variety of possible reasons for that, I'm not implying anything, just pointing out the fact that she is no longer listed on their website)

That's super interesting. Of course there could be a lot of reasons for it, but I guess the biggest reason would be that Marianne doesn't work there anymore? Am I right?

(useless post at the top of the page, sorry)

Oh noooo, does this mean she doesn’t work with deps anymore? Maybe they took her off by mistake. That would be more upsetting than the gaming hiatus

[ratlad]

god .........they can't just do that and expect me to go back to sleep...... (i actually seen them when they posted them but lets pretend that it isn't 4am and i haven't been awake since 2pm yesterday. i totally didn't wake up at 2pm, nope.)

[flarequake]

Was really fun to see those ig stories last night especially the driving game one. Itty bitty gaming video is a good way to put it (wondering how we can rhyme that more, like itty bitty kitty committee of the old lolcats. Itty bitty viddy contenty? Hmm, maybe less rhyme is more )

Dan in the DDR clip all sped up is a little weird, but funny, he almost looks like he’s only moving from the waist, but thankfully not since he’s not a corkscrew.

It does feel weird if Marianne has gone, she’s been there with them so much.

[Ablissa]

@Catallena I hope you are right about Marcus. On the other hand, it's a bit weird Dan would suddenly follow him over a nude picture, considering they've both been in the UK youtube community for ages... Dan, if you're really just thirsty, please look at Phil instead. Way hotter

As for Marianne, I'm sad if she's gone too. How long has she been managing deppy?

By the way, something I just saw - a signed edition of the II DVD/bluray is on sale at HMV for £6.99. Thought I'd let you know! Amazon UK is cheap too at £8.79, that's the limited edition with the postcards etc. Amazon US is $26.89 which seems like more than UK but I'm too lazy to count.
Is it normal for it to be on sale already?

I‘m gonna awkwardly ask now, I haven’t been “in” the phandom since 2015, only watching their videos during that time, and don’t know who Marianne is.

I really loved the IG stories, when I was 11/12 I played Crazy Taxi on the GameCube a lot and seeing Phil crash the exact same way I always did gave me major childhood flashbacks. I know they really push that whole never leaving the house narrative but I love all the cute shit they do, going to gaming arcades, having tea double dates, casually traveling the world. It’s beautiful. It’s the life my partner and I want to live once our apartment situation is sorted out and we can start saving money. lol

[autumnhearth]

I like itty bitty gaming viddy

It’s funny I thought the most we might get last night was a shot of a board game.

Now I want an update of this phan music video (though I love it as is and I know I’ve shared it here before soz)

[alittledizzy]

I‘m gonna awkwardly ask now, I haven’t been “in” the phandom since 2015, only watching their videos during that time, and don’t know who Marianne is.

She's their manager, the one that travels with them most and is on hand for all events. There are other managers that are sometimes there, but none as consistently as she was. During meet and greets during TATINOF and II she was always the one talking to people just before they met Dan and Phil and being super sweet and encouraging.

Thank you! Sadly I couldn’t go to II Berlin because just when I decided I wanted to go, the tickets were already sold out. Otherwise I might’ve met Marianne.
Did they hire her themselves? I don’t know anything about companies or anything but I saw that they’re pretty much their own bosses, right?

[LtrllySusan]

This is maybe a bit off-topic, but it's quiet in here anyways and I don't have any phandom social media that I could share that with - but I made the Phil fox sweater into an actual ladies size!
When I received it, I was suprised how extremely baggy it was (even though I ordered size S), so I cut the whole thing apart and got out the sewing machine! I'm not exactly experienced so I'm pretty proud it turned out alright (:

Wish I had taken a before photo, but those who have it can probably relate. Anyone shorter than 165 cm can wear that sweater as a dress.

[autumnhearth]

That looks great on you Susan! I’m wearing mine today, but I’m at the opposite end of the spectrum wearing an XL and appreciating how long it is. It’s soo soft.

Oh I don’t think I said but I like the idea of the bracket voting, though I’d be down for either.

Also I would like some dog content today please, assuming they are hanging out with Ian.

They were either approached or pick their own management/talent agency, around 2014(?), the agency they used to be a part of was “FlipSide” but that disbanded over a year ago and became “Above The Fray” by a few managers that broke off, from what I can tell.
Marianne has been their closest direct manager since probably before TATINOF, but they also have credited Fleur Brooklin Smith (who toured with them during 2015) on their II DVD this year

also @LtrllySusan the sweatshirt looks great! I couldn’t even tell you modified it!

[Ablissa]

Dog content
Deppy, if you ever loved us, give us more

[autumnhearth]

Nerds. Sounds like a nice day

[flarequake]

That’s really cool re the fox sweater. I don’t have the knowledge for it, but bought the navy Christmas jumper in size xl and it’s too big especially at the very top and in the sleeve (not the tum, heh), and the other sizes have been gone a while now, but it’s good to know it’s possible, that looks really good.

[thestigdrivesamini]

Yeah, I bought the Try New Things shirt in an XL because I wanted it to be a bit baggier than my tour shirt (I got a large) and I was worried about my chest being too big for a a large tshirt (hello DD club). It’s MASSIVE on me. The sleeves are huge and I had to tie a hair tie in the back. I will say it’s long enough for my 6 ft tall ass! The fox shirt looks amazing!

[starwatersong]

Same dog?

[flarequake]

Looks like it, also the same rug on the floor.

Also re merch, even things made in the same year aren’t all the same manufacturer and the size guides on the DnP shop are confusing sometimes, the Christmas jumper’s large and xlarge measurements overlapped by an inch and I’m on the cusp so I erred on the larger.

[alittledizzy]

I definitely have the issue of the fox sweater being like a dress on me (and the sleeves being waaay too long), but because of the boob issue I couldn't order a size down. It's frustrating but I guess I'm at least happy they offer a size big enough that my boobs can actually fit into it because I've definitely had times when an XL was clearly made for a non-boobs person and still ended up too tight for comfort.

Damn, that looks good! Basically the sort of thing i was hoping for when i ordered the sweater
Mine was huge too and i planned to send it back, but when customer support stopped replying to my emails i just went with it and now rock it as a sweater dress.

[capybantsa]

If you can't sew yourself you should probably be able to get it tailored by a professional for $10-20, if you think that's worth it.
