either he doesn't know what that implies in the phandom (OmG TheY MoVINg) or he does know and is looking for another place
I wanted him to elaborate more on the "life things" that they were going to be focusing on.bee wrote:yeah sameArtdefines06 wrote:I have laughed so many times during this liveshow 10/10 great time spent.
Also he confirmed looking for more storage
This is what I wish the conversation in phandom was about; I wish this kind of nuance was more readily present in the discourse around him. I see far too much about whether Dan's joking or whether he's serious, whether he's hurt or whether he's not bothered by anything and it always seems to come down to how sincere he's being vs how much is fabricated for humor. But I love that Dan himself is laying it out there: yes, actual problems, but yes, actually laughing.Dan wrote:"Sometimes I forget that this sense of humor, this whole like, sarcastic all the time, self-deprecating, openly-laugh-at-all-of-your-mental-health-problems - which is a good thing that shows that we're all about being real with our problems, because some people say oh it can't be good for you, being all joking about yourself all the time, but I think it's the complete opposite. The people with these self-aware, self-depracating sense of humors - just think about it, what does it say? If you can joke about your problems in a way that some people feel like 'am I allowed to laugh at this?' what this shows is that you're aware that you have issues, you acknowledge them, and you don't let them define you, and you're willing to talk about them and find them funny, and it's actually a very healthy attitude."
I got the opposite impression, I thought he had a really positive energy about him. There was lots of laughter, lots of volunteering information, not as much fidgeting. he might have avoided reading the chat, but I think that's because he was trying to sort out what he wanted to say in his own mind. He tends to rely on reading the chat to fill gaps when he's out of things to say himself.malday wrote:is it just me that got the impression that he genuinely got stressed out at a point towards the end of the ls.
he lost his train of thought and seemed like he was avoiding reading the chat? especially when talking about not wanting to know some things.
Yeah if they are moving (and I seriously think they are), I feel pretty confident that they will be moving somewhere together.alittledizzy wrote:The parts at the end felt very poignant to me. Hefty inclusion of Phil in his "we" statements - things like "2016 was a crazy year for me and phil, we want this year to be a lot more chill" and

(Okay, the more I think about it, the more there's a lot about this liveshow I loved.)
ok, i guess i got that impression because i was reading the chat and some people were going wild.alittledizzy wrote:I got the opposite impression, I thought he had a really positive energy about him.

i think he said "inside joke", and yes it was.spaceguitar wrote:Ok great live show- i love Dan. It's funny that people are finding him more bearable (lol) in live shows lately.
Important:
At around 17 minutes, Dan is talking about how his hair just doesn't want to be straight, and then I think he said "insert jokes".
Tell me if I'm wrong, but was that a gay joke?
I also caught thatpapierklemmen wrote:not sure if i caught this moment right, but i thought this was funny: he said that his hair 'didn't want to be straight' and ppl started saying that they loved his hobbit hair, then there was a comment 'just like you' and i still wonder if that person in the chat meant "love your hobbit hair just like you" or "your hair doesn't want to be straight just like you"
But I think Dan also made a 'haha my hair doesn't want to be straight lolz' joke himself if I understood him correctly. i loved this part as well, together with how comfortable with himself he seemed while explaining it, and i wholeheartedly agree with the point you made as well as with what dan was saying in the first place. if not everything is meant to be taken in a literal way, or out of context, or as completely factual and not exaggerated, that doesn't mean it's not coming from a genuine place or is "made up".alittledizzy wrote:My favorite part of the liveshow, from around 14:30 of the youtube version:

For me, I felt so many different emotions from him in one liveshow. I genuinely enjoyed sitting in my bed, with my blanket and a drink and my headphone (rip me) plugged into my laptop (I could have sworn Dan was watching me through the screen when he was describing that) watching him discuss so many things that he's not opened up to before. I found sometimes he seemed really energetic, then at some points I felt he seemed a bit stressed and then some parts were sarcastic. All of these things though make for a really enjoyable liveshow for me. He is able to draw me in when he is passionate about things and him opening up about his mental health was very interesting to me. I would really like to go into more detail but there was so much to absorb that I feel I need to rewatch it and take notes from it.malday wrote:is it just me that got the impression that he genuinely got stressed out at a point towards the end of the ls.

Yes, I heard inside joke too.malday wrote: i think he said "inside joke", and yes it was.
That bit actually puzzled me too. I thought at first that he meant people will mock it, but i think he also said people will turn it into a thing (or something along those lines) and i just figured he meant he has not changed it yet because it's a big deal to people (it becomes iconic or a meme) so he needs to think about it carefully?missemma wrote:malday wrote: One bit that I can't seem to stop thinking about though is his reasoning for not changing his Facebook profile photo because he knows people will just leave comments on it. I didn't know how to take that and tbh it made me feel a bit bad for him. I think I need to watch it back properly though for context. Interested to know other people's opinions on that bit though.
