* oh yea and my thoughts about the Shane vid is basically same old same old. I also really don't care enough about Shane and his shenanigans to put much weight into it. He's just a huge gossip like Melon Lord says. And I agree with gnostic in that I don't think there's much of an issue.
It's basically 'the fandom' as a whole who really spreads the idea that they are an actual couple and he's just picking up on what little he knows of them and sees in the comments. The two girls (psychic twins lmfao get out of here) basically just make a bad joke / pretend threat of the kind you usually make when you're fresh into high school. " Well yea if you have nothing to hide you would collaborate with us !" :sideeye: Cool story bro.

Of course, I also think there is nothing that could come out or any sort of tea to spill so i'm just thinking that the way they discuss the possibility of D & P being a couple... is actually pretty tame compared with the things you see some fans post on social media.

I also think give zero fucks about what Shane and others say about them as long as it stays within certain limits of taste. If anything i think they are mostly annoyed at other youtubers being so effective at luring us to their video's for extra views because a lot of us will just watch anything if it has that Dan and Phil content.

If this is what he often dos, consider me shook. That's a great way to get exhausted. Totally fucks up your circadian rhythm no matter how long you sleep out. If he films at 3 a.m. and edits after he's going to bed at like 8.30 am, add 7-8 hours of sleep to that (and feeling tired as shit anyway) and he'll be getting up at about 4 p.m.
Even if you maintain an agenda where you do everything business related in the afternoon that would be unworkable.
If it's like a few times, say for a certain bakeding video or for a gamingmass vid I could understand, especially in a period where you're easing into you holiday as a youtuber.
But I do hope this isn't indicative for his actual sleeping pattern because i've had a period where i would go to sleep at like 5 - 6 am and it really isn't conducive to your general health and well being
I think he meant he edited it later not straight after they finished filming.


Eta: Has anyone considered that the boys may of bought the apartment off the landlord which could explain replacing the piano in Dans room and all of this dog talk?
Giving the tweet a second reading that's way more likely. Guess who went to bed at 3.am yesterday and just woke up

Yes i have considered that possibility but I think it's unlikely. The landlord is probably sticking to renting it out for his/her own purpose, so first there would have to be a chance to buy it.

Also, I don't know the real estate market of London but I do hear it's very expensive. If they are paying rent in the order of like 2500- 4000 pounds a month, that would easily value the apartment at a million pounds or more (my calculations suck). A lot of money at least and you don't just buy a property like that in a whim. Buying a place just so you could replace a piano and get a dog seems a bit radical to me.

Also, you don't tend buy an apartment unless you're a couple. Views will diverge on this point :D . If they would actually buy a property, It's very well possible they would buy their own place seperately. And I think they prefer living together with a friend (as opposed to living alone) Don't see them splitting up any time soon, at the very worst i see a scenario happening like Casper / Joe sugg where they have some type of LAT -arrangement going on ;-)

Lastly, whatever their relationship status I think they enjoy living in the city center right now, it's convenient for their lifestyle and professions, there is no real pressure to start buying something already. Their careers and wealth are rapidly evolving and they have the financial freedom to act as they want.

if they bought off the apartment, then all the #danneedsstorage talk doesn't really make sense. why buy a place they think is too small for them? unless phil bought the apartment and dan is hinting at getting his own place, but the majority here agrees that they are not likely to move out separately anytime soon (i still think it's possible because we don't know a lot of their personal lives details, but who am i but the dust of the most high anyway i think it's unlikely that either of them would buy this apartment off)

I kind of loathe saying this because it is creepy af but if you know an address it is very easy to find out when it sold last and enough of the phandom know D&Ps that if it had been sold and bought since D&P moved in we'd probably hear about it.

When you put it like that you are probably right.

I am VERY curious to see if they buy their next house separately or together. With all this build up they'd be absolutely EVIL to end up moving separately like "bye bro" but after TABINOF I wouldn't be surprised lol.
putting this in the spoiler because weight talk makes people uncomfortable and I don't want this to turn into body shaming Dan (which has happened on guru gossip too many times lol) but in the last joint live show he said he would loose 2 stone (about 30 lbs) then gain it back after tour. That seems like so much to casually loose to me! I know they had a physical show but even so.. Is it because he's so tall? Is my 5 lbs his 30? As a short person it's so hard to figure out.

I didn't realise how much a stone was so this didn't jump out at me when I first heared him mention it (I definitely did not know it was like 14lbs), but that is quite a bit I think. His height probably does make a big difference in whether or not its noticeable but Dan being Dan, he could also be exaggerating for effect. :lol: I'm not Dan's height, but I'm about 5" taller than my husband, and I know that weight changes that aren't super noticeable on me are more significant on him (or so he complains).

it def depends on the person's metabolism, but i would say it's not a lot for someone that tall + he's a guy (no stereotyping here - male bodies on average tend to lose weight easier than female ones). if they can maintain their weight why not exercising at all and eating junk food, then stress of moving around/travelling AND regular exercise will do that to their bodies. i'm not even that tall (i'm 170 cm) but i naturally lost 10 kg in 1,5 months when i moved to japan for a while because of acclimatization, change in environment, i had to move/walk/cycle more and obviously change in diet. and i didn't feel sick, starved or anything. needless to say i gained it all back once my body accustomed to the new environment

Definitely agree with this.

And I mean, it'd be very hard to fit the koi pond and Phil's coveted garden in that flat. They're definitely more suited to getting a house or at the very least a new flat with lots of space and that balcony they miss so much. And maybe a bar for the kitchen, since they apparently made so many good memories on the one in Manchester.

I've finally caught up with their gamingmas videos! I went offline for a few days and then it has taken me until yesterday to catch up, which is truly amazing. I'll miss having content to look forward to everyday, although their daily videos have caused my IRL productivity to plummet.

Undertale: I loved it! I started watching their Undertale around October so it doesn't feel like such a long wait for me. The challenge has been avoiding all spoilers online until they eventually finish it, and I'm glad I did that because the flowey thing came as such a shock! I hope they do the final episode soon though, while the previous one with all its emotions is still fresh in our minds. And then when it is over, I can finally go and do all my nerdy research into the game. They have made me actually feel like playing it.

Anyone else is really surprised that they managed to keep up with Gamingmas? Daily videos can't be easy editing, especially when the videos are all ten minutes and over. At the start of Dec people were predicting like 15 videos but they have exceeded our wildest expectations

Moving talk: Their flat is already pretty big for London standards, isn't it? Still, if they really keep all the things fans give them like they say they do, then their stuff would have been exponentially accumulating especially this year with the tour. I hope they still stay in London though - or will they move to Brighton where the Youtubers all seem to congregate?

Don't ask how I know but the apartment is not worth a million, I'm almost certain if it was sold it would have be for around 550k I might or might not have spent considerable time stalking property in {removed} and looking at 4 room 1 bathroom maisonettes I DON'T HAVE A LIFE ALRIGHT Plus why don't they use the sub apartment they mentioned in TABINOF for storage?

Where can I apply for resident weirdo I've been here 3 months and I've already resorted to making creepy analysis on Dan Lip Watch and now this

Dan mentioned in an LS that they got a vigorous workout during the tour, so much so they didn't work out while they were on tour. Didn't Phil sit on the couch playing video games for a week after the US tour? So yeah, from all of those high-kicks to complete sofa crease vegetation there's bound to be some gain. Dan is tall and is also a big bro (not fat, mind you, he's just big in body frame) so a few pounds (or a stone or two) might not make a big difference, depending on where it settles on his body. IMHO he gets a big self conscious, which is why he tends to wear the huge, shapeless jumpers.

I could be totally wrong, though.

Hi, I'm not picking on you specifically, but Dan already mentioned in a live show that they have let a storage unit for all the stuff they have collected from fans and life in general. So the #Danneedsstorage meme as a reason for moving is moot. They *might* move in the future, but it would be for other, maybe more aesthetic (or just practical) reasons.

I don't disagree that when they move it'll be for aesthetic or practical reasons, but I also don't think you can totally count the storage argument out completely as a reason. Having a storage unit seems like a temporary solution, not a long term one. Presumably they are storing some things they would like to at some point display, otherwise why keep it?

Dan also continued to complain about needing storage and the flat being too small after mentioning having a storage unit. Imo they're going to end up moving because they want to move but the seeding of "wow guys we just need MORE SPACE" is laying the groundwork so no one is surprised when they do.

You're not wrong, but skinny dudes can put on weight, and not have it show show much - they simply transition from skinny to a more average build. Guys with big frames have to be careful because their weight can get out of control - one day you wake up fat (there's this high school kid at my gym who went away to school kinda big - but in generally in good proportions - but came home after a few years, and is just... fat.) I wouldn't say that Dan has a big frame (in some of his early videos he's actually kinda skinny,) but he's is tall enough to distribute extra weight; he's sort of a combination of a average shouldered but broad pelvis (ecto-endomorph) somatotype. But he'll need to be careful to not overeat particularly when his activity level goes down (it's much easier to control weight via diet/caloric intake vs. exercise.) Broad hips can "hide" weight until you realize that you're getting a bit heavy.

ANYWAY I hope Dan talks about his experience with the genocide run of Undertale when he gets back from Xmas. I got the impression that they had finished playing it already (he mentioned exporting a video for the gaming channel on Tues, but that was after they had already posted the spon/friend quiz..) so they must have caught up (meaning hopefully no more 12am uploads). 3 days of gamingmas left, so 1. Sims 2. Undertale 3.?? (Final DvP?) and Phil has probably left for the North by now so it's just about the editing (if they haven't already finished that as well). They did well this month.

Speaking of this, how long does it generally take to play a game of undertale? Will he be able to finish it while he's gone for Christmas? (I'm assuming it's doable, but how much would he have to ignore his family and just play the game?) D&P are the only people I've watched play it and those aren't very good videos for gauging how long it would averagely take to play it when just playing on your own :lol:

Edit: maybe the third video would be Bubble Bobble again??

I just checked Jack's playlist and he did it in around 4 hours. The genocide run takes less time as you basically skip all the plot and stories and just kill everything instead. I'm sure he could waste as much time as he wants if needed just exploring and killing things, but he'd be better off with Pokemon for holiday avoidance.

And if they play Bubble Bobble again, I'll cry. It's so pure. Watch it be another World Chef. Which would also make me cry.

8/10 for Undertale. Exclusively for the plot-twist. My level of fucks given for this game has dropped well below 0.

morbit wrote: Re Psychic Twins: "They don't want to do a collab because they're scared you'll see something" um... that, or neither of the guys are into the whole psychic thing? Why would they do a collab with them anyway, the only thing they do is tell people who they were in past lives (which yeah. very easy to believe any of that) and tell them that the future is holding a lot of "prospects" for different offers career- and love wise. It's so easy to say that because yeah, that's what happens to most people in their lives. Also they'll channel spirit guides with very generic english names. Every US or UK born person knows/has known a guy called Richard okay, we get it.

The Psychic Twins apparently know everything about everyone, so in that case they know the "truth" about Dan and Phil already. So yeah... Idk, sorry for the long rant but I'm so sick of them. I found them to be interesting at first but mostly just to see where their schtick flops you know? (I'm not trying to be mean if you believe in them and/or psychics in general. I don't have the answers to everything and I might be wrong. I'm just stating what I've seen and thought about. I don't want people to take it the wrong way).

I 100% agree with most of this (although I don't think ALL psychics are phoney many of them are). I found it more interesting how they approached it? Like I feel like a few years ago youtubers would be like "a lot of people WANT them to bang" but Shane was like "people think they're secretly a couple... when I was in the closet..ect." which obviously means nothing because it's Shane lol I DOUBT he is trusted with Dan and Phil tea but it's weird the way he treated the topic. All I'm saying is if they really don't want a big deal out of whatever relationship they may have, then the whole "gradually being more open until it's assumed like what Dan did with his sexuality" thing is working. If they aren't together then I'll call shenanigans on them not wanting a shitstorm because they MUST know how in the past month especially they've insured for a HUGE deal if they do move out separately.
Sheesh, talk about empathy! Shane, how can you, in one breath, bring up Dan and Phil possibly being in a closeted relationship, and in the next, share how you were genuinely nervous around psychics while you were closeted, AND THEN have these two frauds with their cheap ass shake-and-go wigs mock that fear of being outed?

While I'm absolutely here for how messy that was and hope it gets blown out of proportion for my own entertainment (it probs won't be), I can't not roll my eyes. But this isn't the first time Shane's brought D&Ps relationship up; I think he's one of the few if not only big YTers who even dares to mention it. Maybe since Shane's opened up about his own boyfriend, he's forgotten that it's not something everyone can just brush off and take lightly.

ETA: Also, Shane may not know D&P personally or know enough to confirm anything, but he and D&P share mutual acquaintances like Joey and Cat. I think that means something.
Ok. Alright. Ok. This whole thing has been on my mind but y'all had moved on and like... I 100% need to contribute.

I honestly see this as a very, very tiny, but interesting outing of D&P. Like, I'm not necessarily here to bash Shane, I just want to analyze the situation itself.

Shane is the same guy who laughed off the idea that Dan and Phil were viable dating options for a girl. He knows. Then, in this video, his thoughts - mind you, not in a loud or particularly obnoxious way - go from "everyone thinks they're a couple" to "before I came out I was afraid to see psychics." Like.... what kind of linear train of thought???

And ok. Let's back-track to "everyone thinks they're a couple." That's some unique wording you got going on there, Shane. Not "everyone ships them" or "fans want them to be together." No... everyone thinks they're a couple. They sure do, tbh. The YouTuber community included.

I'm firmly in Camp Shane-Knows-But-Respects-Them and that conversation with the useless psychics was just confirmation of that for me.

I definitely think it's because he's so tall. 6' 4" with weight distributed relatively evenly, doesn't look like it's as much as it is. In general, though, you can totally see the difference. 2015 halloween baking really stands out to me as the height of both Dan and Phil's intense weight loss:



Also this photo of Dan from that EOY 2015 always throws me off guard:

Edit: maybe the third video would be Bubble Bobble again??
Genocide is lots of fighting with little to no story. One boss in particular will take you hours to beat.
I'm gonna say up to 7h of continuos gameplay (Jacksepticeye edited out a lot of the fighting) but it really depends how skilled you are.

I'm thinking the 3rd video might be a #spon.

Genocide run is shorter insofar as it skips a lot of story that you went through the first time and focuses more on grinding through battles; in a way it's giving back the RPG/leveling system that it lacked in the pacifist route, but the cutscenes are significantly less. So if he's patient with battling a lot then he can definitely finish it through the holidays. You can't just fight a bit, get bored and call it the genocide route, you need to reach certain points but I have faith that he'll manage just fine

I'm not spoilering or giving anything away, that's for you guys to look out for on your own if you want. It's pretty common knowledge by now what the genocide route implies, just in case you guys were wanting to stay spoiler free

I'm kind of sad in one way that he feels intimidated by games with huge fandoms. But I totally understand why, too. Playing by himself is more relieving and rewarding rather than have thousands of comments judging your actions. But at the same time I think they could play through some really old games that are still beloved but also it's so old that by now nobody will call you out for it.

I can't comment on the moving as I honestly have nothing of value to contribute. I only thought that if one moves they'd start packing away all the random stuff on their bookshelves, like in the living room and such. If I saw stuff like that, the background items that will need tossing in lots of boxes, starting to disappear, then I'd probably say "yep moving" (of course if this happened before they officially announced it and we'd just notice it from liveshows or photos)

Shane is the same guy who laughed off the idea that Dan and Phil were viable dating options for a girl. He knows. Then, in this video, his thoughts - mind you, not in a loud or particularly obnoxious way - go from "everyone thinks they're a couple" to "before I came out I was afraid to see psychics." Like.... what kind of linear train of thought???
Agree with this. Taking into context how many people Shane's talked to that know Dan and Phil (even the more recent Emma Blackery convo) and how big into gossiping about the yt scene Shane is, I'm pretty sure that he considers it a definite that they're together whether or not he's actively, openly outing them. That jump from point a ("everyone thinks...") to point b ("before I came out...") was understated and significant, imo. But I do think that he has enough respect either for them as people or in general for youtubers being closeted that he's not going to overtly out them. He'll just... make his opinion/awareness known in little jabs and well timed snickers and thoughtless affirmations like this.

Where can I apply for resident weirdo I've been here 3 months and I've already resorted to making creepy analysis on Dan Lip Watch and now this

Hi, I'm not picking on you specifically, but Dan already mentioned in a live show that they have let a storage unit for all the stuff they have collected from fans and life in general. So the #Danneedsstorage meme as a reason for moving is moot. They *might* move in the future, but it would be for other, maybe more aesthetic (or just practical) reasons.
I don't disagree that when they move it'll be for aesthetic or practical reasons, but I also don't think you can totally count the storage argument out completely as a reason. Having a storage unit seems like a temporary solution, not a long term one. Presumably they are storing some things they would like to at some point display, otherwise why keep it?

Dan also continued to complain about needing storage and the flat being too small after mentioning having a storage unit. Imo they're going to end up moving because they want to move but the seeding of "wow guys we just need MORE SPACE" is laying the groundwork so no one is surprised when they do.
IDK, if it were me, I'd move just to get to a quieter side street - the sirens on their high street has to have gotten old. But moving is a PITA.

idk about respect, we're talking about the guy who basically outed joey graceffa a few times throughout the years, including straight up saying "closeted youtubers like joye graceffa" in his video a few weeks before joey's official coming out. :? like yeah, at that point everybody knew, but still... i think his knowledge is probably limited to gossip anyway
