Dan and Phil Part 103: we're all doomed!

[Susanisnotafish]

I miss their Christmas Day Instagram posts. But I guess knowing they spent the day together is better.

You can see a blurry Phil in the background of one of the photos in Cornelia's latest Reel.

Also in the comment section of his latest video, Anthony Padilla announced that I Spent A Day With Daniel Howell will be released in a couple of weeks.

[Susanisnotafish]

That’s so depressing that we might not have any content for a couple weeks!

[kavat]

I'm a little dissapointed we didn't get a tree picture this year, but I guess they were busy being happy or something

So we have about 2,5 weeks until tour starts up again, but I hope we get another DD before that at least. Do you think he's filming any before tour again?

[cocolero]

After Connor said something wild on TikTok I was forced to make this for a different forum but thought I would pass it along here as well because it's art and totally where both creators are nowadays.

That picture from the karaokee bar is so blessed

[alittledizzy]

I think I am most partial to the one of him cuddled up in that fox blanket. His hands in the little sweater paws!!!

[kavat]

He was really having the time of his life on this tour I hope the next parts of it are just as fun!

On the sixth day of Christmas my blorbo's gave to me~

Phil tweeting out the 2022 twitter drafts.

The drugs one is sending me.

And Dan needs help with a new meme video.

Ass fully clenched at the phivorce mention. btw why is it phivorce, diphorce is right there?

Welcome

Yeah iirc they hadn't acknowledged the phan wedding 2k22 at all until now, and the phandom was relatively quiet about it for most of the year as well. Most got the jokes out of their system in early in January. I'm nervous lol.

'rip danandphilshop - the dramatic and very formal death of the merch shop' might also be interesting, because at this point nobody knows what's going on with IRL Merch anymore. Aside from Dan's tour merch, there have been no releases this year. There's a whole thread on Twitter compiling people trying to get into contact with them because they aren't receiving their orders, and Phandom Gives wasn't able to get into contact with them as usual either.

Yeah, and I personally think it's weird because IRL and Martyn used to have a fairly decent reputation of quickly taking care of stuff like that, afaik.
I literally just saw on the dnp subreddit someone complaining bc IRL has been ignoring their emails regarding the missing VIP merch on a show.

Maybe the IRL team being abroad and busy with touring has made them neglect the online merch aspect of business?
But also, when was the last time either of them released new merch? Like a year ago?

I missed this review at the time, but I really like it so I’m sharing it. I even learned some new words (I love when that happens). I’m not sure if the author was new to Dan or not, but she really gets him.

I really wonder what's going on at IRL. It's one thing if most of the crew was gone for tour and I think most people would understand that if they just told us. A banner on the website, a newsletter, a note in the order confirmation etc, there are many ways to inform customers and most will accept that. But once again communications is their worst skill.

Dnp didn't release anything new except tour merch, and I can't seem to find that IRL released anything new with any of the other creators either. They are still working on Hours with Lucy Moon (she talked about it in her latest tarot video because the reader said she would fall out with her business partner, but there was no tea there) but I don't know if that's big enough to take up all of their capacity.

Idk, I work in ecommerce and know first hand how difficult it can be to manage suppliers and logistics especially the past few years, but I'm quite confused about what's going on.

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE

Dan kept his New Year's wishes for us simple yet On Brand.

While Phil repeated his iconic tweet from 10 years ago.

I remember the original and the chaos that enused of baby phannies trying to decipher what it meant so clearly.

(ok grandma back to bed)

[Catallena]

On Twitter, some people are making edits of Phil with long hair (which looks weirdly good actually) but Phil shut that idea real quick lmao.

Like there are no other tweets from him, just this

[Levitating]

Omg just saw that too! He got it totally wrong though - the manip is so different! Plus, it needs to be a bit wavy to counterbalance his sharp features. C'mon, has Timothee's look taught you nothing, Phil?!

Just wanted to mention that I gave out a proper laugh/scream when I read Dan's meme list and wedding line!! Yet, I have also been listening to Stereo shows recently (thank you IDB ) and the amount of times he mentions weddings and possibility of eloping... You cannot tell me they've not talked about it.

[Catallena]

Phil is really trying to shut this down lmao.

I'm not usually into the beard edits but this made some valid points. But yeah to be fair, his hair isn't naturally wavy like that so in the end it probably would end up looking more like fetus Phil.

[alittledizzy]

I am sure they are enjoying some alone time after family has gone and before tour resumes but also.... I miss them.

[Catallena]

A sign of life!

But I think Dan forgot he already shared a different picture of that with the class back in October.

[Catallena]

Dan gave us a music rec.

[Catallena]

The later added Sydney show on the 20th of January has been cancelled. That's the second added date that has been cancelled (first was Copenhagen).

I wonder if Dan's specific promo for the Warsaw show today means that it is in danger of getting cancelled as well. Like Copenhagen and Sydney it was a later added show. I hope Helsinki and Amsterdam are safe.

He really should've done more promo for those dates in the first place though, it took him a long time to announce them as well even when ticket sales had already started. But maybe his promotor just sucks idk.

[alittledizzy]

I'm so baffled by the choices that Dan and his promoters are making.

Can it be a surprise that shows get canceled when they're barely advertised?? I know things circulating in the dedicated fandom can make up for a lot but it can't fill a whole venue in a specific city.

Note: a dedicated fandom on twitter. I barely saw it circulating on tumblr, and who knows if the info even reached instagram, tiktok and where ever else people hang out. The website has been terribly out of date, not showing new dates for weeks. Even a dedicated fan who wanted a ticket to a sold out show would not know about it. It makes me so sad.
