I don't think Shane of all people know about 's nature of relationship, but he might just wanna avoid the shitstorm if he so ever said something about deppy and dating in someone else besides each other
I'm more under the impression that most youtubers know the nature of their relationship but are careful to not outright say it. How many hints have we gotten from several youtubers alluding to the fact that both Dan and Phil aren't single. It's funny if I look back at it because Deppy probably always gave a couple vibe to other youtubers. Their relationship, even under the security blanket that is "friendship" never read the same to me as smosh, septiplier, or even jasper. I think to a certain extent there's a huge contest between faking something more and actually feeling it. We see it and I think other youtubers see the fierce love and loyalty Dan has to Phil and vice versa.

At the end of the day they probably told a handful of close friends including bryony, wirrow and PJ and the rest probably knew by watching them interact. I love watching back the "can phil express an opinion" video just because the reaction of all the youtubers specifically Louis are so telling. He has a knowing glint in his eyes. Another video is the one where Dan accidently says Phil when he's not there on stage and all the youtubers giggle.

Something I always wonder is how many of Deppys colleagues are aware of v day video? I'd like to think a majority but unlike luke, Emma, and Evan they won't dare bring it up. I wonder if the plays a factor in how their viewed by their colleague since it's a big part of why their fans think something more is goin on.......

(Posted a lot today yay)
Haha, this is actually what I mean when I said 'knowing the nature of their relationship', that Deppy themselves told them about it. Other youtubers are probably the same as us, in this 'are they? Aren't they? They probably are' universe. Sorry I didn't explain myself well.

Please god give me a troll screaming PHIL IS STRAIGHT?!11 shouldn't we be gettin that more since th boy doesn't share his sexuality while dan is thirsting after guys left and right. Leave dan alone, his sexuality is his alone and he should be responsible to clarify it which he's done recently some people just can't stomach that, cool. If you want to insult someone to get a reaction that's not a productive thing to do because it'll just lead to arguments so just agree to disagree and move on

(returns to being unproblematic phan trash )
Hi, kuen, I can prove that Phil is totally straight. He propose me last night through text but I can't show you the text because he said not to tell anyone else yet :lol: :lol: :lol:

Also, is dan alright? He look like he's in pain in some of these meet up pictures, his smile is airport level forced :|
i've noticed that too, i hope hes okay. they're probably just extremely tired from all the touring and perhaps dan didnt get enough sleep the night before
Agree. I hope he will get enough rest after tatinof aus is over, especially if he hasn't fully recovered from his illness yet.

Ohh, that's interesting. I do remember him standing like that, but didn't realise he was pulling his stomach in. Ages ago now he said after being a bit chubby as a teenager he only got slimmer cos he grew taller, he's stayed squishy in the middle.

Do you guys think this could also be about some kind of insecurity about his height? It came up in the diss track as well; "you're freakishly tall, it's weird you look like a noodle". Maybe he's just self conscious
That makes more sense (though I still like the other theory). He said exactly that in the caption of that photo of him crouching somewhere in Japan too.

actually i find it very surprising that no one has spilled the beans about them already, i'm bored, can evan emma and co do something productive and go back to bitching about them? (when was the last time that happened? when evan got drunk and said everyone has watched the v day video? what was that? late 2014?)
Fun fact: that was literally just last year while D&P were in Japan or just getting back. Late April 2015. And he has the nerve to be salty about them likely never collabing with him :sideeye:
Thanks and have a great day! Oil me

I feel like we should just post this playlist anytime anyone mentions Dan's sexuality. Totally watching the playlist now. 427 videos.... Of course Dan has never mentioned it at all. :roll:

Edit: 2012 Dan is like a completely different person. :sobs:

So the last show of the tour is underway, therefore it's time to start speculating about when they will depart for home (or will they go to Tahiti?) Anyway, if they are in a super hurry, they could leave for the airport directly after the show to make the overnight flight (OK, a day-long flight really.) Or they could stay an extra day and leave the following evening. Or they can just melt into the Outback and go native.

Late to the body language party i'm so sorry guys, please ignore me if you are already moved on with that topic.

On the contrary to what everyone else says about them being flamboyance, i don't feel that at all, they just feel very normal to me.

As a gold pass peasant i didn't meet them, but during the show i actually been deliberately trying to look at Phil more, even tho Dan's constantly doing extra movement to attract my attention, what an attention whore smh (joking of course).

Anyway, Phil to me doesn't feel much different from his videos, maybe cuz he have to act all personaish as some of you said. He does sometimes gets bouncy like a little bunny, but sometimes he's also very still and doesn't have much physical movements at all. The very Phil-ish clumsiness is still there of course, however it feels adorable more than anything. And somehow to me when he's standing still he doesn't feel awkward or stiff, he feels very comfortable and confident with himself.

On the other hand Dan, in my review i said he was trying too hard, plus the fact that i also observed that he tend to bend his knees, at the same time leans is upper body forward, which isn't the most attractive posture, and kinda funny he looks like a monkey, (an adorable one of course). It's a very aggressive posture, kinda like a baseball thrower, so i interpreted it as he is trying hard to engage the audiences. Because bending his knees also imply that he's trying to get closer to the audiences

That's kinda of all i can think of right now.

kuen, the shane thing, i also feel that most youtubers more or less know that they are a couple, or incline to think that they are, even though they probably don't have an actual confirmation. But that's part of the reason, the other part, the more important part is that they don't wanna upset all the shippers.

I also think they would go to some tropical island on their way, but who knows, the last Aus show just end about an hour ago, bye bye deps, you will be missed :lol:

I'm happy we'll be back at normal posting/tweeting times after the hibernation (and I'm not even mad about it, they really do need a whole week of sleep).

Here to be a debbie downer sorry: how can you be sure that we'll be back to ANY posting times after the post-tour hibernation? Maybe I'm being too pessimistic but these two in 2016 tought me to expect nothing out of them and then, maybe twice a month, be pleasantly surprised

And I actually really liked their uploading times during the Australian tour :D From what I remember they posted most of the stuff deep into the night (as always) and because of the time difference it meant that Europe (where I am) got it in the afternoon. Nice change from their usual schedule when the fact that they post most things at night means that I get it... well, at night. Hence by the time I'm awake and ready to see the video/photo/whatever it may be you North and South American folks have usually already covered all the interesting discussions to be had around the thing.
Any fellow Europeans relate? ;)

Hey there hunnyftw!
Yes, I can be sure that we'll have SOME posting times, they always make sure to reassure us that they're not leaving youtube anytime soon, just before they went for the tour they kept saying they would miss the liveshow times the have with us and so on... like any fellow member of the phandom that has been here for a while I too don't expect a lot of them but I don't get this idea that they might not post anything? I do think you're being too pessimistic, sorry! I don't see them stopping youtube anytime soon imo.

I'm glad you liked the uploading times during the Australian tour! I didn't much but I wasn't really bothered by it. I was just writing how I was glad we were going back to the old uploading schedule times because that worked better for me, like you right now from where I am I got notifications in the middle of the afternoon, sometimes morning and was always too busy to check it out, with their usual schedule I get to see things at night and it works best (for me) because by then I'm home and done with the day and can see it. I didn't mean anything deeper than that.
I'm sorry that you feel like by the time you get online all the interesting conversations already happened but you can change that! They often post once a day and you can always add in your opinion/views or start a convo by answering someone, I see this happening all the time and is something I often do too when I feel like the conversation has moved on but still want to talk about it/give my take on something. :thumb:

Yes me too. I'm sure some of it is as uglyamerican and Dan suggested - that his butt is the "wrong shape" so they fall down, but (ha ha) I always thought this was partially an excuse as at the end of the day it was nothing a good belt couldn't fix and he used to wear them so low that it was not just like they had fallen down a bit but (ha ha hahahaha) more of a fashion choice?

I mean, does he just like showing it off :lol:

The tweets under that hashtag are adorable.

I wonder if he actually didn't think much about it at all, partly since leaving the waistband visible has been a fashion thing for years, plus the lowcut problem, and only realised later. In one of the tumblr tag videos he says "my butt's all over the Internet" as if he hadn't been intending on showing off as such, but

Dan's hat is hot pink, not red. Fight me. Is it appropriate that I start europeanizing this thread or should I let the Australian Tour corpse get colder first?
