Dan & Phil Part 30: I want your ass

[Diyes_Celine]

Staying up till 4am lately just to prepare your body for LA time? Whatever, Dan. **cough**skype session**cough**

I am learning different vegan recipes (shoutout to Laura Miller) because I am really considering to change my diet. I agree that it's difficult to be vegan if the people you live with are not. He will need Phil's support if he'll practice it seriously. Or, he can just move out.
If he'll talk passionately about veganism again, I hope he'll specify whether its vegan diet or the whole vegan lifestyle. I just don't like his audience to confuse those two.

He mentioned that he's not updated on the different shows he watches. Is he waiting to watch those with Phil?? How about Walking Dead?

Random ls thoughts:
I really, really hope he posts the English Bulldog puppy selfie!
New Metallica sucks, but fuck yeah for the soad shout out!!!
He seems moody.
So you can't be vegan because Phil peer pressures you? Sure. Though I do love that he watches/eats shit he doesn't want to because of Phil.
Liked his opinions at the end.

Now off to get drunk and watch election coverage!

[dollicious]

my unnecessarily long dan ls thoughts:

-kind of surprised he went to the IG event thing? it doesn’t seem like something he would want to/usually go to why did he go?
-where tf is the english bulldog selfie?
-really interesting hearing him talk about politics and the situation of the american election i kind of wish he would have done this sooner & maybe encouraged people to go vote (and as much as i love when he talks about politics i hate when he says things like “i know most of you don’t care about this” like stfu dan).
-"the year of dan and phil" lol yes it has indeed .
-i kind of live for the way he said “phil thought we were running out of time, i would have answered more.” lmao way to throw phil under the bus.
-he thinks he needs to cut his hair again bc of a video he watched of himself recently (haha cute he re-watches his old videos) and wants to get shaved sides again. i honestly think his hair looks good now and i don’t like the shaved sides, fight me.
-top 3 favorite dog breeds future deppy dog choices 1. shiba inu (obvs) 2. corgi 3. pug/pomeranian.
-asked to be on “i’m a celebrity get me out of here” lol can you imagine .
-tell me why he is having a goddamn /experience/ over this candle.
-going vegan for a week!! i’m proud . while phil is out and “not being a terrible person peer pressuring” lmao.
-LOVED him saying the stereotypes for vegans are terrible so props! i hope dan commits even after this week (it may be difficult when they are traveling but if they go out to eat, la probably has some pretty great vegan restaurants).
-"i feel ashamed to talk about politics because i feel like if i voice an opinion and it’s wrong and i’m an idiot then you know, that’s terrible. you know a lot of people - if trump wins don’t expect me to go on a big twitter rant tonight because i won't actually be able to articulate how i feel because something like this is so important because you know like everybody will be doing the whole like 'blahblah ranty things' and fair enough that's good. cause you know, i don't know if it is because i have a lot of followers so i feel like there is more pressure for me to care about what i say and the impact that it has but i’m really afraid of expressing opinions in case i’m wrong because i really care about being right...” i thought this was really interesting. he did share a bit about his political opinions but he was obviously being reserved and not saying everything he wanted to. i feel bad that he and phil don’t share their opinions (not just about politics) because they are worried about it.
-watching agents of shield when phil’s not there bc phil doesn’t care about it. i’m laughing so hard, dan can’t you make phil feel like a “terrible blerson” smh phil.
-dan can put his fist in his mouth (i feel like he reminds us this fact at every opportunity but i have yet to see it done).
-gaming channel video before/during when they’re in la and then undertale when they return.

-At one point in the liveshow (about half way through I think), when he was talking about how they filmed a gaming video, he said "We filmed on before we left" which I thought was equally funny and weird. Only Phil left (obviously) but he still said "we"? Okay, Dan.

i didn't notice, but this is honestly hilarious .

Phil peer pressure: we've heard this several times recently. Dan can't stand up for himself?

[boredtears]

Does anyone have a timestamp for when he talked about The Fall?

[fancybum]

Does anyone have a timestamp for when he talked about The Fall?

57:30ish on the video on his tumblr. I'd like to hear him discuss Scully and serial killers all day.

[Philena]

Guys, these projected election results are making me ill so I am looking for a distraction.

Anyone want to discuss how Dan said he thought he might have 2-3 more good years left as far as popularity goes? His self awareness is so interesting to me.

[flarequake]

That was a nice liveshow, even when pretentiousDan came along. Someone made a great comment after he said that about diverse music tastes and being like him, and he read it out, should go find it I suppose.

I was surprised when he said how he doesn't know what he's doing etc, with so many things going on with sutc, tatinof, dapgo, Dapgoose, spooky week, baking, pinof and undertale you'd think he'd know what he's doing with his life, though after all that and the end of the big events, I guess it's left open for what comes next and outside of YouTube they rely on other people wanting or allowing them to do things. Even before he said that, I thought he looked a bit subdued or tired, not so helpful to be up until four am, quality of sleep after midnight or so isn't so good, I've been feeling it myself lately.

Candle talk was interesting, along with feeling comfortable in a soft onesie and of course being all for food, almost all the senses.

Much respect for turning down Celeb-wank in the jungle, I'd expect him to thanks to the show's bug-fixation alone. Strictly, though, that I would love to see. Also him dressed as FranknFurter, he has good legs for it.

[eevee]

I haven't watched the liveshow yet but this is what I got out of it so far lmk if I'm on point, I'm gonna write these like news headlines because tis the season:

Man Suddenly Enthused By Candle
Man Thinks His Taste In Music Is Superior: What Else Is New?
Another Person Goes Vegan. "Just For A Week" He Says...
YouTube Star Says No To Reality TV
Surprise: Dan Doesn't Want To Chill In The Jungle Without Phil For A Month
Surprise: Dan Doesn't Want To Be In Something On TV He Can't Control
Why Does Dan Deprive His Fandom Of Dog Selfies?

and that's all I got for now. In all seriousness it seems like a good ls so I'll watch tomorrow when the election isn't crazy

[uglyamerican]

The election results here are surprising the mainstream media: voices are cracking , and many commentators are in disbelief. Brexit should have clued us in, but there is still time... I am dealing with it by making a pizza.

[hmm]

sooooooo happy for serious dan talk!!!
the election- he didn't say much, but anything is good
he is going vegan! hooray- lived for that 30 seconds where he seriously talked about veganism and the environment
and his (as someone just said) self-awareness about his 2-3 years of popularity left- i feel like there are so many things he can branch out into, he just will probably stop doing his gaming channel and younow's eventually but will continue as a comedy sketch writer or will make short movies on his channel idk i feel like he has transferable skills

might take him a little while to stop buying leather products being the trendy fashionista he is for dan fashion

omg the election no no oh god no he won i cant even

[fleur-de-lis]

he is going vegan! hooray- lived for that 30 seconds where he seriously talked about veganism and the environment

He started talking about 'Before The Flood' by Leonardo DiCaprio but stopped and said 'we'll talk about that' - I wish he had actually talked about it, it's such a good film on climate change that just came out last week.

[vincentian]

and his (as someone just said) self-awareness about his 2-3 years of popularity left- i feel like there are so many things he can branch out into, he just will probably stop doing his gaming channel and younow's eventually but will continue as a comedy sketch writer or will make short movies on his channel idk i feel like he has transferable skills

I think he was too optimistic about 3 years.
I agree that he’ll likely eventually stop live shows. They might keep gaming channel as it’s the only "officially" joint channel, but if the content on there will keep getting more and more tiresome and the editing will seem too much of an effort, they could stop.
I think that in future he and Phil might go into production, maybe expand their DnP Productions, sponsor/supervise other creators’ projects? Give masterclasses? And obviously presenting / hosting.

Dan's liveshow was a good one, acceptable amount of patronizing talk tone that I could handle lol.
So we are getting a solo AP video, a gaming video, Undertale week, pinof 8 and a dinof all by the end of November? Nice.

Anime cosplay video was v cute. Anime recs video – sounded like he picked the recommendations with specific audience in mind, but I'm no expert.

[Artdefines06]

Seems like he figured out something to say after-all. I don't have to unfollow either of them now, they were lovely in this election.

[uglyamerican]

OT:

Remember the Calum McSwiggan drama? Him missing his initial court date because he decided to go on holiday instead? Welp, the man pled guilty, and was sentenced to 3 years probation, ordered to attend 52 anger management sessions, and pay a $7,000 fine.

OK, back to election talk. All I can say is eeewwwww......

And now, back on topic:

#TeamShavedSides!

[hunnyftw]

Seems like he figured out something to say after-all.

Oh, well said Dan, well said. And oh #2, he needed about 9 hours to get over the shock and find the words. This is actually no-hastags-relatable, it took me a very similar amount of time to get my jaw off the floor.

#TeamDanNeverShaveYourSidesAgainPls, fite me uglyamerican

[DryCereal]

#TeamDanNeverShaveYourSidesAgainPls, fite me uglyamerican

+1. I heard Trump supports shaved sides...

[SquishPhan]

Very nice tweets.

And yeah they were both lovely this election.

[anathema]

Glad he said something I feel kinda eh that Phil only retweeted one of them, though, and didn't say anything himself
Don't know if any of you saw, but he also liked a few things last night (and some this morning):

Now if you'll excuse me I'm going to go cry over the future of this country

[jess]

Watching the Daniel liveshow in full this morning since, you know, I cannot handle real things happening in the world right now. People like to complain about pretentious music/tv show/wanting to be vegan Daniel, but I am here to complain about the Daniel who told me that I should learn to like the Kardashians & Bernie Sanders in the same sentence. I'm still very tender & uttering those two things in the same breath is just... :wtf: Please don't soil Bernie's name by mentioning him next to that family. Please, Daniel.

+1 more happy for Daniel transitioning towards the vegan side of things. +1 to wondering if he's thinking about vegan lifestyle or solely diet? I'm hoping for the former since, in my mind, it is a package deal. If Daniel ever does goes fully vegan & stays that way... that might be the kick in the ass I need to do it myself. Because if undisciplined as fuck Daniel can do it... Jessica should be able to as well, right?

I am happy he mentioned The Fall. I haven't watched the latest season yet, but the first two are so. fucking. good. Thanks for calling me creepy, Daniel, for liking Dornan far too much in The Fall. I have no shame... maybe a little shame?

Also, just gonna leave this here, even though it is too fucking real at the moment...

Sometimes it's better to say nothing if you can't find the right words, especially if you have a huge fanbase. Dan found a perfect way and it's very Phil to let Dan say the important, inspirational stuff. Besides it's not like he didn't show he cares, as he told people to go vote.

[dollicious]

Seems like he figured out something to say after-all. I don't have to unfollow either of them now, they were lovely in this election.

i was happily surprised seeing these tweets, although he said he wouldn't be able to articulate his thoughts i think these were very well said . i'm glad dan decided to tweet something, i think it was important for him to say something serious about this. it was disappointing (but not surprising) to see nothing from phil, but at least he retweeted dan and is obviously thinking about it.

[melon lord]

I love his reply in the tweets. I couldn't watch the liveshow last night because my net sucks but I caught snippets.

I don't wanna think about the election. I just want to hope it's only 4 years and 4 mild years at that. Can't bear thinking about it right now.

I just have a random tangent about the person called WonderfullyRachel who is always no1 on Younow, she has a Youtube channel and it's... like a poor man's danisnotonfire, down to a haru pillow, the video titles, she even has a video on how to get their attention? it's kind of creepy ngl

*back to the trash can to lurk*

[DryCereal]

Dan at his well-thought-out, articulate best.

Phil, as an outsider actually IN Florida at the moment, (my OH is currently in the same position, only he's there for work rather than holiday - to be honest, I can't wait for him to get home on Monday) I don't blame him for keeping quiet, even if it is completely standard behaviour, and what normally makes me want to shake him until opinions fall out. I note he only re-tweeted the more positive/less "blame-y" of Dan's tweets.

I’m just awaiting/dreading the oncoming backlash when Dan announces he’s dropped the veganism again in about a fortnight max. Despite him having been upfront about it only being temporary.
