Dan & Phil Part 87: post coming out universe

[noodlebum]

Tony is cute, but we're onto you both

I wonder what sort of questions Phil is going to have for his Q&A, whether any will mention the gaming channel at all, or future amazingphil video plans?

I'm interested to see if they go back to more joint content, be it videos/photos/events etc now or stay trying to keep it all quite separate. They did hint about them both wanting to do different things in interactive introverts, after all. Which is understandable, they both have a few different interests e.g. the recent discussion on how politically-revved-up Dan is compared to Phil, mental health charities etc. And been a bit of a duo for a few years now. Would be nice to still get a video or joint liveshow every now and then though; I miss their chemistry so much.

But like... so... who's gonna tell Phil that nobody gives a flip about his prehistoric pet?

Like... wow... it swims. I was really hankering for that update and now - at last - I am satisfied. Counting my lucky stars every day that we're blessed with consistant Triop content.

There actually are a lot of people that wanted a tony update lol (I’m not one of them) but I do have to respect how committed he is to pretending he’s still at home

I have a hard time believing said people aren't being sarcastic, but whatever floats your boat, folks! Ahahaha.

I'm more in the mood for pancake ratings tbh.

Ben posted on his Instagram that dan asked him to upload a longer version of the interview so a 10 min interview is going up later this month

Yesss! I was just coming here to post that!

[glitterintheair]

Phil doesn't give a single fuck if we know that he's in California. He prepared those IMPORTANT, VITAL Tony Updates for us, and that's what we're gonna get. #Respect

YAY for the longer interview!

I love triop content and I've never seen this triop negativity before! I wasn't even around back in the Simon days, but triop stuff still feels hugely nostalgic and very Phil and lovely.

Wasn't the last triop content we got weirdly timed with the Florida trip? I wonder if all the triop stuff is time travel stuff.

[cheekyc]

I personally love triop updates. I think they’re so cute and I find it so interesting how invested Phil gets into his little fish-pets’ lives.

[sonicgreen]

Dan requesting a better edit of the interview is gay rights

[blahblahblah8]

Yay I’m glad we’re gonna see the full interview! Also I love the triop too lol

[knq]

The Tony updates are a little weird if you think Tony’s probably already died. They’re still cute though. It’s a color changing tank with a pirate ship. Tell me that man wouldn’t spoil any pet rotten.

I love that Phil took a photo with a fan at the airport and is still posting Triop updates from London. You do you Philip.

And I love that dan’s out there getting us the extended interview. We know how strongly he feels about good editing.

[kavat]

Another cute IRL photo!

[autumnhearth]

Hell yeah Dan is making sure the people get want they want, and frankly what he deserves.

Dear god Phil, I shouldn’t expect anything more or less, never change.

Ooo now that pic I like! Martyn smiles. But really were they just told to laugh in different directions?

Same to all of this. Lol Phil

Dan having to request the full interview is both hilarious and tragic. If that segment had aired on tv I would understand the cut but when it goes on a website? There's no need for it. I can't decide if Ben commenting that they're following Dan's request is good or bad PR - on one hand it highlight they ~hear the voices of creators and are willing to give them creative decision over their own material (but with a month delay). On the other hand.. you really need the creator to tell you that?

Nice way to drive traffic to the website, for sure, not that BBC needs it, but maybe the lgbtq+ section does. I'm rolling my eyes anyway

[Amiaw]

Off topic but does it look like Phil moved tony Into a bedroom or is he still in the living room?

100%


Looking at the twitter comments on the BBC video, I really do think they should have included clips from BIG to make a stronger connection between Dan's experience in school, Dan coming out, and the need for LGBT+ education in schools.

[rizzo]

I think there's more to Dan asking for the extended version than just us wanting it. I'd put money on there being things in the interview that were cut for time, that Dan was really proud of and wants to make public.

Boy wants his words heard and I respect that.

[Catallena]

Dan saw that badly edited 3 minute clip and was like 'nuh uh, my time is worth more than that'

Good, because I'm sure he had lots more interesting stuff to say and I'd like to hear it. And I know he wants us to hear it, and he deserves that.

I kinda enjoyed the powder shrimp update, even if it's just Phil pretending he's still in London. I'm surprised that it's still alive.

Love that IRL Merch family photo. I never think that Phil and Martyn particularly look like each other, but in this one I can see the resemblance a bit more.

[flarequake]

I’m here for triop updates! Though I’m also surprised it’s lived this long. Also yay longer/full interview. I’m not convinced by the random laughing in the merch team photo, it’s so staged, looks fricking daft. It’s nice to see them all, though.

[Omgsonew]

They gave us only 3 minutes out of at least 10 minutes of footage that they have... Like... why. At least we're getting the rest I guess

[George]

Maybe he should have offered some editing tips

[autumnhearth]

Wow George, that put a whole scenario in my head. I did end up letting all the other LGBTQ+ vids play afterwards, good stuff.

[Phantasy]

Looks like Dan has opted to like instead of retweet Ben’s tweet about the interview... waiting for the long form version before giving his retweet blessing?
