4:35 “I’m here - with you - just 'Dan on you' action. Shit. Just said that, didn’t I? Delet this."

(chat) Were you wearing an Evan Peters jumper?
Yes. He did like this charity xmas jumper, which I bought half because you know, charity, good to buy things for charity, half because it literally had Evan Peters’s face on it, and I knew that would make a lot of you very angry, so there we go.”
(why angry what)
14:10 “High five to all the people that submitted the memes, and me with my miserable sense of humour, for confusing everybody on the internet. Some good times. Sometimes I forget that this sense of humour, this whole ‘sarcastic all the time, self-deprecating, openly laugh at all of your mental health problems' [etc, he literally said all this last week in another form] so to all the people out there that just openly mock themselves, you go you.”
16:05 “I’m such a nerd, I cannot stop giving Thom Yorke my money"
(same)
16:12 “I actually have curly hair right now; I had a hair cut early last week and when I have short hair, I can kind of just shower and leave it, which is like now. And sometimes I feel like I prefer it to being straight, because it’s kind of hard to control when it’s straight, because my hair doesn’t want to be straight - insert jokes - um, so here I am, Wavy!Dan is rising"
21:20 “Because I’m an introvert that doesn’t like going outside, for me to emotionally recharge, I need to just be alone and do a lot of nothing and just be really quiet.”
“I’m definitely somebody that needs to do hardcore amounts of nothing, so getting right back into Monday after Sunday which was an emotional rollercoaster here, damn it was hard."
24:45
(chat) Are you the minecraft YTer?
“No, that’s DanTDM, who’s like three times more popular than me. No, I’m like a tiny, tiny ant. DanTDM’s the person who makes regular minecraft content, I’m danisnotonfire, who makes irregular sad content. So that’s us two there, in case you’re not familiar, but hello."
26:20
(chat) Were you actually crying in the vid?
“The triangle of tiredness, happy, and sad. Just that G-spot of emotion, that’s what I hit right at the end of that video."
27:35 Dan Howell music recommendation of the week: La La Land soundtrack
28:05 FAMILY/DISNEYLAND STORYTIME:
"I went to Disneyland in January once. My mum somehow, I think I was like 10, managed to convince the school to give me a week off at the first week of school — which they never do because obviously that’s a terrible idea and you get off to a terrible start with your education — but we did. And we went to Disneyland Paris. And it was completely empty, it was completely empty, and I had like the best time ever. We went to the Hollywood Park(?) one, and you know the Aerosmith rollercoaster, I went on it five times consecutively [because nobody else was there but me, the guy in charge of the ride was less than enthused about it]. I was in the front row, I think my grandma was just sat on a bench outside waiting for me to get off, just texting or whatever a grandma does, doing her sudoku puzzle, I don’t know. And the guy came round, like ‘surely this child has had enough’ and there I was in the front row, just holding onto the thing, like ‘do it! do it! whoo!’ Which must have given me severe brain-shaking issues that would frankly explain a lot of my behaviour, to be honest."
35:40 “[The Sherlock fandom] are just out there, and they’re terrifying"
General thoughts: Loved season 1, season 2 was also incredible. Season 3 was a bit silly, didn’t like a couple things, and yeah. The special was really good. And then this season… (not impressed face).
37:30 "Sherlock just left me in a state of despondency, if that was the last episode of Sherlock, I’m going to be disappointed”
37:55
(chat) Is your first video a sensitive topic?
“I’m a sensitive topic, because apparently it’ll make me cry (viewer) wahey!”
(idk yo no comprende)
41:55 (about HP & Cursed Child) “The plot was bad because it was about time travel”
42:50 “The acting was amazing, the actors were amazing, the plot was bad, but the characters were amazing. The production was amazing and mind-blowing, all the magic was incredible. As a theatrical production it was like 5 stars, the acting was like 5 stars, the Harry Potterness of it was like 5 stars, the cheesy story was like 3 stars"

(chat) Dan you’re so boring
“Then stop watching. Go watch the twerking channel."
48:55
(chat) Do you ship Scorbius?
"I do.” “Yes, I do. And all of you that think you ship Scorbius and then haven’t seen the stage show, your life is tragic. I saw the hug IRL, joking, but no seriously they’re good actors.”
50:05
(chat) Have you been playing piano recently?
"Kind of learning how to play- what’s it called- how do I even play it—"
PLAYS PIANO FOR 8 ENTIRE SECONDS THIS IS NOT A DRILL
“That’s not something I’ll be giving you a full rendition of when I finish it”
(boo)
52:10 [how he deals with thousands of peoples' varying opinions being thrown at him on the internet] “I’ve been on the internet for a long time and the answer is simple: I’m simply dead inside and expect nothing”
“The less attached you are to the physical universe, the less seriously you take everything”

"Probably Yuri, sorry for being boring."
54:10
(chat) Can’t you grow a beard?
“No, honestly. I’m in my 20s and puberty just hasn’t finished for me yet. I literally think I’m going to be about 30 when I finish going through puberty.”
“Me and puberty was like: Congratulations! You’re 6’3’’! ...The rest will come.”
55:15 “So many animes, so little time. And one or two you should avoid. And those two are called Re:Zero and Black Butler. Whoa!"

“Slytherin. But after seeing Albus, who is now my #1 crush and just a good character, I am proud to be a Slytherin."
