Dan & Phil Part 33: #JustBroThings

[MoonPride]

lmao

to be honest i wouldn't be surprised if among those thousands of people they met at m&g's/on the street/etc. SOMEONE asked them about phan. we all remember that girl from sweden who said she asked dan if they were dating and then proudly shared it on twitter, right? ("he said no, but his eyes said yes") i would be more surprised to learn no one attempted it during meets and greets.

but this tumblr chose a weird month for phancleans, considering all the soft bro moments in their gamingmas videos...

What I find hilarious is that people would actually think they would confirm phan if a fan asked them to their faces, do they really believe they are that special to get that sort of confirmation if it was true No normal person would tell a random person something so private like that after a 30 second meeting.

i'm sure it's just young fans having an adrenaline rush, they probably don't know what they're doing before it's too late

My Daughter would be too scared to speak if she met them properly, let alone ask if they are dating

I was going to, like, talk about the video? But apparently the new drill is to talk about anything but the content which we got less than 12 hours ago.

Someone on Tumblr is asking for a month of PhanCleans:

Apparently someoned asked Phil at a TATINOF M&G (don't know which one) if Phan was real and apparently Phil got REALLY super pissed off, which is the reason why EVERYONE NEEDS TO REFRAIN from Phan for at least a month. If Phan is in your username, change it. Artists, don't draw them together. Don't tweet about it, don't talk about phandivorce or marriage or moving or anything. They want to start off 2017 like this and do it for a month or MAYBE LONGER. Just to give the boys a break from all this shipping.

http://da-simi.tumblr.com/

this has been going around since sometime at the beginning of this year and I remember someone even said the same thing last year too. No one said anything to Phil like that, if they did we all know it would've been all over the phandom right after it happened.

I don't know how old this actually is, but it's not new this December. It went around twitter earlier this year, I think during the US tour, but but it could have been AUS.

Anyone proposing that artists should stop drawing them together needs to take a look at their recent likes. They seem to quite enjoy it, at least when it isn't in any way explicit.

And I think Mio is right, if the shipping community suddenly appeared to abandon them they'd be far more alarmed than relieved. Do people not like the new softness? Is shipping more fun when they "play hard to get" by trying to conceal their closeness? Maybe they would do better to go back to that, if that's what he audience prefer? Oh, but relaxing is so much more comfortable, and shouldn't they do what they want, follow through on what they decided, no matter the response?
*cue existential crisis*

[melon lord]

Yeah the infuriating thing was that there were fake screenshots out there that seemed even somewhat believable, so when those were proven fake people started accusing real screenshots of being fake as well.

And yes people were total hypocrites. Sending hate to every major Phan blog out there (how dare we have the audacity to see through some bullshit and not be fazed by Dan's temper tantrums right?) but at the same begging for those timelines to be finished and saving all those screenshots to their own harddrives. Hating on Phantaray but lurking anyway to see all the gossip and discussion, and sharing the copy of Voldy they used to have up there with all their friends. I was regular at Phantaray since that blog was first established, I've seen shit lmao.

I remember the fake DITL, people lost their minds over it before they had even seen one second of it. We all gotta protect the grown men from a fucking joke

Sorry for being horrifically late replying but the past got me shook so I gotta relate Yeah I remember Phantaray, their blog was AWESOME and one of the only wholesome pure places left to be actually open about anything without a ton of harassment. Then we had the mysterious Turnip who was too intense even for some shippers and the impostor dan and phil fakes, and the usual flood of lurkers every time something happened which crashed the site, our name was mud I say I wonder how that fake DML is doing, if it's still alive somewhere or if it's now removed and confided forever in draft script form in a google archive


Snap back to reality~ the Sims video was adoraaaaaableeeeeeeeee, I couldn't stop smiling and laughing

You have to work on your tact though, Phil, don't call pregnant people blimps unless you want the wrath of hormonal pregnancy unleashed upon you

Why would Phil delete the bubble bobble tweet with Martyn? that was innocent, it's not like he said Dan, it's obvious him and his brother would play to completion so what's the problem? I don't get them sometimes tbh

Would be preparing to file for bankruptcy probably lol

I think the picture of Martain was a sassy reaction pic because they'd found evidence of Phil lying, not part of the original tweet.

[000dia000]

I noticed that in the recent video @10:24 the door is closed but after a jump skip @10.25 the door is wide open, and they later in the video @12:02 have no idea how it happened

under spoiler because negativity re: Sims video

I really hope these two are dating each other, if only for the sake of British women
I didn't appreciate AT ALL the way they were making fun of what being pregnant is like, left me with a rrally bad feeling. I guess they were trying for funny and clueless? Idk, I get it, they haven't seen a vagina irl for seven years, but they have a predominantly female audience, I mean, would it kill to try and be a little more respectful? Sorry for ranting, I swear I don't want to start a debate, that's why I'm putting it under spoiler, I'm happy for all of you who found the video cute, and I've never been pregnant myself (and probably never will be), but I felt like I needed to say it all the same, because boy, I didn't need this first thing in the morning (thank you deppy for reminding me why I should appreciate being a lesbian despite of all the homophobia and stuff)

[malday]

lol they confused d&p with DanielPCarter?
so much cringe.

I mean, I kinda put work into my response post...

Oh my god. Savage. Forget dan and phil I'm a coffeepenguin stan. Especially the bold parts. I'm laughing so hard but I feel like I'm laughing with you. I actually said that to one of my friends who was kinda bothered by their comments "must be a product of living with another male for so long and being in a same-sex relationship" lmao. You tell em!!!


My actual thoughts:

I almost feel like I can't be offended at all though because Phil did seem pretty clueless...he tried to sympathize...sort of? Weird that dan seemed to switch places on the female body, however, since he made that one video all like "are periods rly that bad" and now he's like "nah we gotta appreciate being a male" or whatever he said. Also I feel like commenting on how pregnant someone is isn't the same as calling them fat? At least that's where I thought he was coming from. But I'm not trying to argue! You're totally right to be offended, it was kinda insensitive, but I think it was mostly just out of ignorance lol. Especially Dan who seems to think that pregnant woman don't work at all

Having had a horrific pregnancy I wasn't offended by their comments, I found them to be funny. It even was a talking point for me and my Daughter this morning as she was very interested in my pregnancy with her and if I looked like a beach whale

[melon lord]

Rewatching it I'm so genuinely shook that prawn coctail flavour actually is just mayonnaise and ketchup I love prawn coctail crisps and hearing Dan explain what it is, I felt the magic wonder just dissolve and disappear I thought there was actual prawn flavouring in it

Also, only Phil would think about waters breaking on the train seats thanks Phil now you've traumatised me and I can't unthink that

[fancybum]

Is Dan editing all the cutemas videos? What the h is Phil doing? Just looking cute and staying hydrated, while Dan concentration-faces his lips off while he edits? I mean we have been saying (and it certainly seems like it) that Dan has been editing all the videos. What has Philly been doing?

he makes thumbnails, doesn't he what a job

Phil seems to be in charge of picking out the games and, I'm just gonna throw out some speculation here, I bet Phil is also tasked with making sure they actually do get filmed to begin with. I'm pretty sure if it were left up to Dan to choose when to film and self-motivate himself out of bed and into the office to work, we'd be looking at a "gamingmas" comprised of about two videos so far.

Well all of that and also what I would think is the main reason: Dan wants to do the bulk of the editing. I don't remember what video, but wasn't there a time that something was uploaded late because even though Phil edited it, Dan wouldn't post it until he went over it again himself? (I think it was during a time Phil was with his family somewhere). He seems to take pride in the editing done (aka boy's a control freak) on the gaming channel so even if it isn't always necessarily an equal divide, that's by his own choice. Which is probably why he was salty with 'Phil's idea' to do gamingmas in the first place, because he knew how much more work that would mean for him this month.

Video: Liked it. That's one of my fav Dan shirts I don't think I've seen in awhile, so that's all I need really. I'm pretty done with the Sims though, like it's cute to watch but I don't really care about normal playthroughs. Where's the fun in playing a fairly realistic (meaning: boring) fake life when you could be drowning Eliza Pancakes in the pool instead or building up a pizza-delivery-person graveyard, I'm just saying. And if they don't title their last ever (I hope) Sims video 'Kill Dil' then what are we even all doing here. What is the point of life.

[lishachi]

10? potential videos left and they still got undertale. i know some of you don't like it so i'll put in under a spoiler, just some info on time and stuff

i watched mark play undertale, he live streamed it a few days ago (the last episode) and the ending took 3 hours. so i'm gonna go ahead and say they've probably got 4 maybe 5 hours left, because of the 'final' battle and then having to back track and get the backstory etc etc, granted they'll edit it down, but that's alot of time. i hope they have time for it, but also if they don't i don't think i'd be particularly sad or anything just wanted to see their reactions really, but i'm ok if not.

(basically if they don't do undertale i'm still pretty happy.) was cute to see the new sims video. kinda digging the other games tho, bubble bobble was really nice and relaxing

1) where is that shirt from, he looks so good in it. 2) i totally agree. as cute as it all is, i kinda want them to go a bit crazy or something. or maybe the baby will turn out to be a rebellious psychopath teen and start murdering people. or maybe the last episode will be dab (christ) killing dil and robbing a bank with eliza and running away together. now that i would watch

[koalaselfie]

Imo the Dil video felt a bit rushed and had similar vibes to the wedding one in the series (maybe when a "big event" is coming up in the Sims vids Dan's dinof persona is still defaulted to? Phil still seemed as chillaxed as the rest of gamingmas though).
It didn't help that they mostly just played the game on fast-forward...like, Sims isn't "watch Sims do stuff" it's "you control Sims doing stuff"
to Dan's jumper. It's super nice!
And the little hair-sort-out moment was cute
I really appreciated the #freethesimnipple mention (the pixels are ridiculous, even though kudos to EA for finally including that as an option); and also Dan's little "Phil, now is not the time to suddenly realize how easy it is to be a man" (6:22) felt like a nice moment of awareness rather than...gender promotion? Idk (Especially after that Carrie vid, yiiikes)
Dan's #extra reaction to the triplets possibility definitely had me, as someone here suggested, convinced that they reloaded from a previous save...comments sections ruin lives our fun (jokes)
Loved seeing Phil having a good time, he's really a social kind of guy. Himself and Dan are like chalk and cheese sometimes

Yeah I definitely think there's been an improvement there since the Carrie video. I think probably since he got his legs waxed he's been on a slow journey of awareness. And I think they are genuinely trying to improve and be better about it, so I don't think too badly of them

Even looking at old dailybooth comments and captions, sheesh It's been a HUGE difference, and I'm glad for that. Even from Phil, who yeah wasn't all innocent back then but he wasn't innocent of the hurtful terms and such, either. So thumbs up to empathy and learning

[uglyamerican]

Dan, tweeting "we're going through a bit of rough patch" is NOT ALLOWED jfc my heart stopped, i went colorblind, the sun set, it started pouring, and my nonexistent dog died before I realized it was about Kanye my god

Kanye's well enough to go visit King Donald at the Trump Tower, so I guess his people think enough time has elapsed to ensure an insurance payout to cover the fallout after the cancelled concert dates /cynicism.

Is it me or are parts of phandom in melt down mode because Dan left Phil at a Christmas party, after he said he would have no problems living on an island alone?

I don't get why they would be but yet, many of them are. It doesn't make sense to me though, like it's not healthy for anyone (friends or more) to spend so much time together. It was actually nice to see Phil hanging out with some old friends without Dan, because it's actually a normal thing. It's unrealistic to spend 24/7 with just one person and they have to be by your side at all times. You need time apart, whether it's for an evening or a few days. At the end of the day though, you're still gonna talk to the person you care about the most. Also Dan left the party because of working reason, even if he wasn't feeling the party atmosphere, it was still a legitimate Reason to leave.

The "living on an island alone" thing was a joke, so I don't get why people are taking it so literally? It's so interesting to me to see how the phandom is getting uploads everyday, but yet the moment something that's most likely a normal thing to ether joke about or they do in their life's, they freak out and suddenly doubt everything?

Amen

And re: Kanye, I'm so glad Danyul's seen the light somewhat I never really understood his Kanye stanning, and maybe these recent events (I mean, Kanye's idolisation of Trump) will also help Dan's #rebranding ?
