I was thinking maybe that scene was scripted and he made Dan come out of the office for that specific scene only to lock him in their again after the scene was over. Poor Daniel :lol:
I think partially planned out. I'm not sure if I'd say scripted, but considering the conveniently placed jumpcut Phil might have seen the description then went and got Dan.

I really enjoyed that video! Phil seems so chipper, it makes my soul happy. My only real negative note is that his concealer doesn't match... again.... I can't unsee it. I'm so sorry.

4:11 stood out to me the most as it seemed very pointed. At first I kinda just read it as, "Ah, yes. That new creative project his brain is buzzing about." But the combination of keys, an "important change" and his immediate jump to wanting a dog... They're 100% moving.

I feel like that locked-in-the-office anecdote was more at the beginning of their relationship. Given that practically every video they make is a two-person effort these days, I can see Dan just walking by to grab something from the kitchen without issue.

I just don't see regular best friends do that, no matter how close they are. Ugh, adorable married pieces of shit
I don't have much to add to this besides same same same same. Dan openly visiting the in-laws for Phil's birthday makes my heart burst.

just take this post as a little theory, but if you think about phils new tarot card/ psychic reading video, and about 7/8 years ago he released one where he read tarot cards as well, its interesting how both readings seemed to pertain to his relationship with dan and were released at polar opposite points in his relationship with dan.

in the first one, as many of you may have seen, so I won't go too deep into it, the cards basically predicated him meeting dan, breaking up with Charlie and the heartache and drama that would consume Charlie. (the tarot card reading starts at 2:25)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L2HuSjkWBBw


this video was made at the beginning of dan and phils relationship, the very beginning, before they even met, because the very next month after the video, was when phil started messaging dan.(could anyone proof that for me? I'm not exactly sure when phil started talking to dan) now here is what I find interesting, is the period of the "Dan and Phil timeline" (by this I refer to the 7/8 years of their growing relationship) that he chose to make this video. dan and Phil have known eachother for a long time now, and if you look at it from the shipping point of view, their relationship has appeared pretty "open" this year. almost like its reached its height of fluffy domesticness. phil decided to make a video like this during the height of his a dans relationship

so taking these into account, you can see how him doing a tarot card reading at the very beginning of his relationship, and at the very height of his relationship, really show this interesting coincidence.

now moving onto the new tarot card reading.

I never believed in psychic readings or magical spirits that could tell your future. (the psychic twins seems like a load of bull to me) but would it be so coincidental that the first tarot card reading predicted phils life pretty well, so why wouldn't the next one?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1bGUSIDVt7o

Tarot cards and the tea cup:

when he pulls up the last card that predicts his future, the ace of cups, he reads out that it can express extreme emotional events, femininity, or pregnancy.

not too sure about the pregnancy factor, (lol Janice) but I think the extreme emotional events could be hinting at their decisions on moving house, getting a dog and all the domestic blablahblah. and also another mention of the "domestic future" , coming from the tea cup was quite interesting, considering a lot of domestic talk that has been going on around the phandom for the past few months.


lastly, this is what I thought was kinda of weird and coincidental

at the end of phils old tarot card reading, he says that he's "going to change the world in ways you won't believe", something along those lines. (3:23)

but at the end of his new video he is speaking to the audience and telling them to go change the world, "go make the world a better place" (8:59) because of the fortune cookie statement, "its never too late to make the world a better place" (8:38)

I just feel so warm and bubbly because of how he already changed the world and now he wants his viewers to go out and do it too




(lol this is my Drabble dribble of what goes on in my mind, sorry if I ramble)

That video was a lot of fun. He's putting on a lot of energy and doing a lot of fun things with the editing, it all makes for a pretty energetic and sparky result. He's also just so pretty and his pale skin's glowing as ever. Beautiful man (I've just drawn two pictures of him after drawing him twice the other day, and three are of the same photo, I'm nearly there on getting his expression right).

I also noticed how he quickly brought up the gas leak when it said domestic happiness. Funny too how he mentioned the previous tarot card video as if we haven't all seen it and know exactly what, or who, he predicted ;) I'd forgotten he ended that one with "change the world in ways you wouldn't believe", the parallels are almost too good.

Ok, now I'm quite hyped for his new [solo?] project He seems very motivated, I want to know what's going on in his brain!

That was a nice video btw, this proves that Deppy don't need to go to see those psychic twins to know their future, Phil psychic powers are better and enough And I'm excited to watch the video with Dan, it's going to very interesting, I can't wait to compare both videos and analyze their coincidences and differences.

000dia000 wrote:One thing that did make me roll my eyes slightly is Phil's slight diversion from what he doesn't want people to think, such as the prediction about happy domesticity and he turned it into the smelling-gas schtick rather than the obvious phan implications. Though this was again used in another instance where pregnancy was mentioned and instead of what a casual might suspect of accidental pregnancy with a woman, Phil immediately diverted it to himself being pregnant I found this interesting, for him there's more chance of miraculous mpregnancy rather than the possibility of him having sex with a woman.
That was quite funny thb It made me think about this comment on Facebook.

Does he actually though? Mr my-pants-fall-down-because-my-ass-is-so-flat? But I suppose "my ass got stuck" sounds better than "my hips were too wide" :lol:
Catallena wrote:- Dan wasn't locked in the office like he said he always is when Philly is filming.
To me, that part seemed 100% planned. Not full-on scripted, but I think they talked about it beforehand, Phil got Dan when he was ready, Dan knew the general outline of how Phil wanted the conversation to go, etc. We've heard how Dan sounds naturally, and that wasn't it. Dan seemed like he knew their conversation was going to go in the final cut of the video.
Viofish wrote:this video was made at the beginning of dan and phils relationship, the very beginning, before they even met, because the very next month after the video, was when phil started messaging dan.(could anyone proof that for me? I'm not exactly sure when phil started talking to dan)
Phil first replied to Dan on Twitter in the end of May (and I'm assuming they started talking regularly soon after that). So at least four months (I would say closer to five, though) after that video was made.

l m a o #exposed. i mean we always knew it was just a running gag, how is it possible that in the house where everything is shared dan would have his own cereal... that phil likes to eat too, which of course means it would be impossble to just buy 30 packs of it, huh?

phil also apparently never dated charlie, at least according to charlie himself (and i think charlie had a gf around that time). so tying that prediction to dan/charlie was always just a lot of reaching. :thumb:

Charlie said he dated Phil, but that they were not in a relationship - and no, he had no girlfriend around that time (or ever, to my knowledge). Charlie started dating Stephen around June of 2009.

he tweeted those things on very separate occasions tho, didn't he? i would still take it as him owning up to his bullshit and admitting that he never dated/was in a relationship with phil. but yeah, nothing is confirmed, so it's 50/50.
* i'm not sure if he had a gf, i just remember that someone brought it up on gg - no proof.

They were said at different times, but my point was just that they don't contradict. You can date someone without being in a relationship with them. (That said, I think him saying he dated Phil was an exaggeration of the connection between them since they only met irl once before the intense part of their whatever-it-was fizzled. But I still wouldn't say it was bullshit though, I think it was rooted in some kind of romantic connection between them.)

I was cackling like mad at this bit. I'm not exactly shipping Phan but that definitely convinced me that dating a woman is a ludicrous idea for Phil :D
Not much to say about the video itself, it was nice and light, I liked it :) (and I do believe that Phil has some psychic vibes to an extent, I'm curious to know if his grandma thought so too).

Exactly. Dating, talking to, chatting up =/= a relationship.

I loved Phil's video so much! His smile is infectious. I adore his grandmother's psychic tea set and now really want one And omg the mpreg vibes have been so strong for me lately. :gg:

rizzo, thanks. I hadn't noticed upon my first 2 watchings, and now cannot unsee the too yellow concealer. Note to deppy's idb info collector (I now forget their name): Phil's undereye concealer needs to be the fairest shade they have with pink undertones.

That was a lovely video! Nothing groundbreaking, but to be honest I'm actually quite happy with his current video formula. The world is so scary and awful right now, and this video was like a pleasant, calming little break from all that. I'm super excited/intrigued about all his hinting about a potential creative project, but at the same time I really don't mind what he's doing at the moment as they successfully distract me from everything that's going on right now.

The whole "domestic happiness" and mentions of getting a dog made me v happy, and I really do think they'll move at some point this year. Agree that the bit with Dan was at least slightly scripted, it didn't seem like a particularly natural/candid interaction and the cereal thing obviously fits well into their branding, but oh well, I don't think that's a big deal tbh.

If you'd asked me even a few weeks ago, I would have said I'd quite like for Phil (and Dan I guess) to make slightly deeper videos/engage with politics, and I guess that still stands, but there's this other part of me now that is incredibly grateful that his channel is fairly light-hearted as it's such a welcome distraction from the horrific shitshow that is politics right now. I'm very grateful to have something I can turn to when I'm feeling overwhelmed and terrified.

Also, the fact that they've been so open about the two of them going to IoM makes me

It's officially Phil's birthday now, I hope he has a lovely day

(ps. the banner looks so cool!! well done!!!)

Plz don't take me as an authority on this, but it seemed to me that a lot of ppl at the time thought they hooked up but ppl didn't really seemed to react that much to their relationship (whatever it was). TBH they both were pretty flirty people, and I don't mean to be insensitive but I don't know how to really say it without soundings insensitive but like, with the big scene and "random" crowd it was trendy to be bi, and I don't want to discredit whatever relationship they did have with each other but looking back I feel like a lot of their relationship might have been exagerated for attention, but like I can think say what they were actually thinking I'm really just speculating. but I feel more like they likely prob dated but I would bet actual money I don't have that they never were in a committed relationship.

And I wasn't very deep into phils...followership?...at that time so I could be just relaying the sentiments of casual fans/viewers/followers. Am doing Charlie's actions towards dan makes me wonder more about their relationship

But anyway, I can't wait to watch this video when I get home I don't hide the fact that psychic!Phil is my f-ing FAVORITE theory

I've never really thought about what an "angel bean" actually is, but it brings up an interesting mental image if you think about it too literally.

Hope he has a good birthday, and doesn't worry about the number too much. It's just another year after all.

I love how he ended the video by spreading positivity through all the viewers; his message is pretty clear "Go make the world a better Place".
