Dan & Phil Part 7: Gator Girls Gone Wild

[Rusty]

It's not much, but I'm half black though I'm very white passing so to speak. Also, my best friend who watches Dan and Phil with me is African American as well, so I think we're considered part of that Phandom as well. Plus we're in our 20s so... There's that. Though neither of us participate in the Tumblr meet up things. I think I stated this before where I felt like sort of an outsider when I got into them, but hey they make me feel temporary happiness and get my mind off personal things and that's nearly enough for me.

Just watched the latest Sims, and damn it was hilarious. I actually thought that I was a bit over D+P, and was almost ready to say goodbye

They always pull me back in whenever I watch one of their videos.
Anyway, one thing that bothered me is when Dan tries to be zen or 'calming' during this video, acting like watching Dil and Tabitha have baths is relaxing for the audience. Or when he does those 'inspiring' outros in his live streams. Those always make me feel so tense and anxious, idk if i can explain why.

You guys are amazing in sherlocking.
I just catch up on 5 pages, love all the meet and greet post, too bad the lighting is not good. All the shrieking makes me kinda scared to go for tatinof of they ever come to my place. Lol.

Re tour bus. I can't even differentiate the different between the buses that you guys post, but gopd work. I hope we get more picture of the bus, so we can figure out which one is the one.

Really quick post re: the tourbus - the original photo of the bus was not taken at the Playlist / World Marriott, so I'm a bit unsure why one might think this is the actual tourbus? Maybe I'm missing something?

Because the guy who upload the picture on the first place is the same guy who leaks (?) tatinof map tour (he is a crew, I guess) so it is possible that is the bus.

Looks like you guys are correct. The tall building in the b.g. is the Ameris Bank Riverplace Tower in Jacksonville, FL.

[offtopic]Does it bother any of you how little diversity there is in the Phandom. The pictures really gave me perspective on who watches DP..... [/offtopic]

Not that I don't think a big chunk of their audience isn't made of teenage girls, but you do have to keep in mind that the pictures are more indicative of who feels comfortable attending a Dan and Phil meetup than who actually watches them. The stereotype of the audience (as far as age and gender makeup) has potential to scare fans who think they might stand out in the crowd out of attending. Plus, the demographic makeup of the cities they're in is going to play a part in diversity of the crowd.

With the exception of a few locations they're visiting, America (and Toronto) is very diverse. It'll be interesting to see if this is reflected in the meet and greets for the rest of the tour.

While I do think that demographic make up of the cities could play a role in it, the locations they've been to in the past for meet and greets/book signings/conventions, etc. that are in demographically diverse areas still do show a lack of ethnic diversity when you see who shows up. Even online on twitter, tumblr, etc., it's reflected a bit. This is not to say that they don't have a lot of POC fans, this is just what we notice.

Just chiming in because I am a POC.

I do feel intimidated to come to meet and greet if it was in a setting where most of the others are Caucasian. Lol. And if I ever meet them, I don't think I will post the picture anywhere online too, so there might be people who thinks like me.

May I ask why you wouldn't feel comfortable posting a picture online? Sorry if I'm overstepping.

Obviously I have no idea how swofro feels but my thoughts on this under the cut

I personally wouldn't t'd be comfortable posting a picture of meeting them anywhere online because my only 'fandom' related social media, tumblr and I guess IDB, are fairly anonymous and not known to people in my real life, I don't think I'd every post a picture of myself there. Also hardly anyone on my personal private accounts would know/care about D&P so it would be weird to post a picture on those..

Honestly if I got the chance to meet them I'd be more interested in just having a 2 minute chat than getting a photo, but if I got a picture I'd just keep it for myself and maybe share it with a few friends who would understand and care. It's just not something I'd want to publish I guess?

+1 YES! I noticed that immediately.

I completely understand and feel the same way, tbh! I just wondered if swofro was responding from a different angle.

I can only imagine the visceral reaction that my friends/family would have if they discovered my enthusiastic interest in D&P.

Well, I am a very private person on the first place.
I even ask my father not to post a picture of me in his facebook profile. Haha. If I post a picture with deppy anywhere, it will definitely be seen by thousand of people from all over the world and thinking of that really makes me anxious.

I will post in my personal instagram though because it is private and only selected people can see it, and I kinda not embarrass of being 's phan. Haha.

Just a personal reason I guess.

They were spotted out in the wild:

Is that just their agent or whatever person again with them? I think they're too busy for any fun downtime this year. Are they even going to be there tomorrow or will they be off to the next show location? Cat has just been with Ingrid and I haven't seen anything involving Louise, so I think it'll be a bust vlog-wise.

In Evan's likes:

Phil is posing more like one of Charlie's Angels

This and the dog ears one are my fave photos! I love Phil with jackets, they just fit him so nicely and Dan looks great as well. As for the shoes, I'm team idgaf xD He's worn uglier Kanye merch tbh

[offtopic]My family knows about my obsession and they tease me all the time. My brother even teases my fanfiction reading! My parents even tell me to stop watch those two "gay boys" and get focused on getting into med school All my University friends that have visited my dorm have seen my DP calendar (April is saucy) and my mugs! I'm not embarrassed in the least tho, it feels good that everyone knows I like them.. its liberating [/offtopic]

I feel the same way. I had to "come out of the Phan closet" to a few though when I was searching for someone to come with me to TATINOF. I did get laughed at by my cousin, because she thinks it's great. I never went through a fan-girl stage while I was a teen. She always was obsessing over some band or actor or whatever. So now as a 30+ year old she thinks it is hilarious. I see the humor so it was fine. She and 2 friends (and my husband) are aware of my interests, that's it.

I chose not to get a VIP ticket mainly because I had no idea what I would do or say...I think it would in a sense make me cringe to meet them that way. If I would run into them randomly it would be different I think. I still don't think I would want a photo though. Posting a picture anywhere online would definitely be uncomfortable for me.

I ended up opting out of VIP too after seeing some of the M&G. It's just doesn't seem fulfilling to me. I wouldn't be able to encapsulate how much they mean to me in that short of a time, and that weird of a setting. They probably hear the same thing over and over so I become one with the crowd. I always wish I could get a time machine and go to the past where there was a less rabid fanbase. Meetups were more meaningful then. I want to be able to sit down and talk to them about stuff, content, everything (I'm too optimisitc). They really seem like genuine, intelligent, articulate people and maybe I want to see that side of them in person .

edit: misemma got to meet them in a bar, if recall correctly! I'm so envious, that would have been so cool.

My thoughts exactly! I would just really want a chat, and a M&G would just depress/frustrate me it think.

Meeting them in a bar would be the best thing. I am going to one after, who knows they may decide they want a nightcap.

[sweetmm]

I would love to meet them at some country club or by a pool when they are on holiday. I will make some small talk whilst never admitting knowing them or watching YouTube

Sometimes I also think of the same thing, pretending to not know them while asking about mundane things like 'hey, nice weather huh?'

YESSS!! I would be super subtle. I would be like I recognized you two from tumblr or something. Inside..... "hey I watch all you videos, have Phil on my phone background, and also gossip with a bunch of other middle aged nose perverts on a website dedicated to you guys "

Okay this is a weird thought but does anyone else wonder always wonder how they would react to a non "phan" asking if they're together or saying they are "such a sweet couple". They probably have got asked that atleast once if they go everywhere together, I wonder if Phil would giggle and Dan would blush .

Yes! But only Phil would talk. At least for a while anyway. Depends on how long you talk to them, because Dan seems to be more uncomfortable talking to strangers. Unless they were drinking I think they both would be more willing to talk to strangers then...

If they are super private in real life, I can't see them telling strangers, but if it is a close acquaintance that they will see more than once in a lifetime, then it's possible.

I don't expect them to tell me I just want to see their reactions!! In an old radioshow this grandma said they looked cute together and Phil looked so happy and Dan then said "she ships us"

Never noticed Phil's reaction before. He turned and looked at Dan with such a big smile.

Phil look so flattered, lol

Speaking of old vids, I was watching one of those new edits put up by PewPhan. And I found Phil's reaction during one part interesting.... like concerned (boy)friend/instantaneous jealous (boy)friend. I don't know how to embed (yet) and so I cant put it in here.
Dan and Phil in Cat's vlog. part 4/6.

When they get separated at the Cars ride. About 6:20. Dan has to go back to another car and Cat talks to Phil. Phil has to keep his eye on Dan and makes sure he can see where he went. Then when they are waiting for Dan at the end, Phil can barely concentrate on the conversation trying to spot Dan again. He makes a comment that Dan left without them and Cat tells him Dan already smiled at them,and Phil for a split second looks jealous (?) or disappointed. Any one else see this or am I just sleep deprived and reaching at straws? Also this could have been discussed before but I am a little late to the party, sorry!

Either way this vlog starts out cute. Dan at the sushi restaurant, being the supportive encouraging (boy)friend. It does make me laugh...
