I think it's more a case of showing a facet of themselves and not playing a character. It's an argument that's been made a lot on here, but - we are different people in different situations, and that doesn't mean any specific part is entirely dishonest. The facet they choose to put forward in videos, radio, liveshows, etc is their friendship - and the relationship side is reserved for people they actually know, and their private lives.uglyamerican wrote:IDK, I think play pretty close to who they are irl. The BBC show and the ls are unedited, so it would be hard to remain in character 100% of the time (if they were "in character.") Same with their collabs: would be difficult to play something you aren't. So, yea they may have more depth / things they don't talk about on-camera, but I think we see who they really are for the most part.SquishPhan wrote: I'm pretty sure that for there is a real divide between their youtube personalities and who they really are.

I'm not saying that they are totally fake or just playing a character whenever we see them, but I do think that there is a line between what we get to see and who they really are. I mean there are clearly some parts of their lives that we don't even really get a glimpse of or maybe even things that we just don't know about it. I can't really explain this well, but for me there is a difference between Dan Howell and danisnotonfire and the same goes for Phil. Although I do feel like that line has become smaller lately.uglyamerican wrote:IDK, I think play pretty close to who they are irl.

poor phil, seems like he wasn't joking when he said big feet mean no cool shoes for him
Off Topic but kind of on the topic of DP: So, my nostalgic ass finally got a Twitter and of course that means I'm in the process of stalking old youtubers to see what they doing (also, followed a bunch of you, so hi).
Anyone have more context for this tweet...

poor Phil and poor us, we have miss D&P in matching light up shoes
I love the shoes! They were all over pride fest when I went.
I wanted them, but not for the price. What the hell size feet does Phil have? There were some mighty big sizes (15) at the booth there. So I am sure he could find some online. Maybe he got them for Dan to live vicariously through his footwear. 
actions speak louder than words
[offtopic]nebuleuse I like your signature. [/offtopic]
Now, Shoes!!
I love Dan unashamedly wear those shoes and proudly showing it off. Poor Phil cannot have those shoes for himself.
I just need to point out that Phil looks very beautiful, as Jeweul said, the blackness of his clothes bring out the pink of his lips.
Please wear more black, Philip.

I just noticed Dan's weird waddle walk in that shoes video.

That was fast! Thanks!

Grab the smelling salts everyone. I'm going down.

Took me awhile to understand Phil's photobooth challange
I really like their non smiling `looks
I also like it when Phil takes the selfie, if only he knows to look at the camera
stubble is strong today; guess no time to shave after a date night

Phi is actually me, I always look at myself while taking photos and it looks like I'm staring into the distance. So the question is... What is Phil looking at?sweetmm wrote:

Oh Phil, there was never a better king of the universe.

thread title unexpectedly appropriate
"we get it you vape"
i'm surprised he posted about it though...getting tired of his cleaner image? or just chilling out for once in his life? who knows
