Kinky, a joke about condoms, "not porn" folder, fanart of Gru and a very sexualised female minion?
To add to this, the pastel re-branding has invaded his tumblr????
:wtf:
EDIT: oh dear top of the page
They look like they're very comfortable, though, so it's excusable lol 
Looking at this, it makes me even more glad that I didn't buy tickets just to see Dan and Phil. If you were going just to see them and couldn't get the meet and greet tickets, you would have spent around $75 just to see them for 20 minutes.mysterylovescompany wrote:
Cool for Summer festival has added some more deets about the two Aus shows (source: the cool for summer fb event):
So if any people are going for just Dan and Phil, the m&g is at 3:30 and their 20-minute appearance is at 7:40.
Damn,,, only 20 minutes? I'd have thought it would be 45 at the very least. I feel slightly (Slightly) better for not being able to see them.mysterylovescompany wrote:I love those ripped jeans on Dan so much

p.s. i don't know if there's a rule about it, but if people could put nsfw stuff under spoiler tags, that would be much appreciated. i keep having to scroll really fast past the furry art at the top of the page. i don't want to police anyone, just a suggestion, please be nice

I don't think so. The third pic, which I didn't post, shows the silver m&g times (4 pm, 5 pm, 6 pm, 7 pm). So deppy's m&g is probably half an hour long.jesuisunèléve wrote:Are they doing a meet and greet for 3 hours???
Probably not...but Dep's M&G is sold out BOTH days. Now the website is offering 30% off the rest of the meet and greets.
I sometimes stand like this if I want my legs to look slimmer in photos. Dan seems to be a bit insecure about his appearance and we know fan photos make him particularly uncomfortable (compared to being in videos or having his photo taken other times), it could be a reflex to make sure he looks 'good'?anathema wrote:I actually like Dan's sandals! Well, from the top at least. From the side they're ugly af
Has anyone talked about the way Dan stands in fan pictures? I realized it from the closeup of the sandals but I noticed it in a couple of the other photos posted too. He stands with his legs bent, and they're super close together, so much that his feet are almost on top of one another. I've never noticed this in regular pictures of him/when he's standing in videos though. Any idea as to why he might do it when taking photos with fans?
I have nothing to say here besides I love this post and couldn't agree more.chloek88 wrote:
It's not only in fan pictures! Those are just the most common pictures where we can see their legs. Since this was discussed on gg like forever ago that pose is the first thing I look for in full-body photos of Dan. I went trawling through my deppy folder for some examples so here:anathema wrote:Has anyone talked about the way Dan stands in fan pictures?

. Why the habit started, who knows, it probably isn't conscious. Could be to make himself a little shorter, like blackdenim said it could be to make his legs look slimmer, could be just his instinctual pose like the peace signs.Yeah, but I think being popular shouldn't mean that people should approach you wherever you are. I feel like when they are on holiday or in an environment like a supermarket, a train, etc., people should not approach them. Maybe an exception would be when they appear at your workplace and you are already talking to them. They would notice that you know them anyway, so might as well mention it. Everyone should have a bit of privacy and it just sucks that as soon as you are somewhat famous, you hardly ever truly have a holiday unless you retreat to an expensive hotel and don't leave it. And it's not like every well-known person chose it, some just happened to be the kids of someone famous or started YouTube not knowing what would happen.JustMe wrote:To everyone feeling bad that they're being recognized; I do understand where you're coming from, but I also think it's a part of being popular. If you want as many people as possible to watch your videos and know who you are online, people are going to recognize you in real life as well. When I think all of the benefits of being a big youtuber (getting sent loads of free stuff, meeting lots of famous people and getting to travel to australia for free just to be on a stage for 20 minutes) I feel they can handle some people wanting to take selfies and expressing how much they like them.
(not in for creepshot photos though, that is not ok)
That must be so exhausting. I agree with you... but I also think it depends on how much they're getting approached. And although people might wait outside their house, etc. I don't think it's likely they're mobbed every time they step out of the front door? If we go by fan photos it seems to be when they're living their day-to-day life (e.g. not when they're in Singapore and going out all day and to dinner every night and everyone knows that's where they are) it seems as though they get stopped once or twice a week in London at the most? It's annoying but in the same way I hate writing reports but have to do them every month, I consider being stopped out and about 'part of the job' of a Youtuber I suppose.nephilimcat wrote:Yeah, but I think being popular shouldn't mean that people should approach you wherever you are.

I don't think Dan and Phil hate it, they would have stopped doing YouTube if that was the case (at least I think so). But I think the fact that they get groceries delivered to their apartment is not just because they are lazy, but because they know they'd run into fans all the time. Maybe that's also a reason they liked Japan so much, there weren't as many of their fans there and they could be more carefree.
And those creepshots or people going somewhere simply because they know Dan and Phil will be there/live there (unless it has something to do with work) are obviously the worst. As if they a) never notice they are secretly photographed and b) ever drop their guards in public because of that
Maybe I am just very protective because I value my own privacy so much, could never approach anyone famous (not even as a teenager), and don't see the value of a quick uncomfortable photo instead of a nice, genuine conversation I just think there should be a certain level of decency in everyone. Before you approach anyone, you should ask yourself if the person seems to be approachable (not in a bad mood, in a hurry, also not too relaxed) and how you'd feel if someone would approach you and ask for a photo they will most definitely share with the world in the environment you are in. But in reality, a huge amount of people think they can just take photos of anyone they want to because they are famous and have to deal with it, which I don't think is fair.
I do understand, and I wouldn't like it either. I don't think it should be this way, but it just is: It's the downside that comes with having a big audience; you can't get one without the other. I guess to me the downside of having to take selfies with people in public is not as big as the benefits they receive for having a major audience. Of course there is a time and a place and a way to approach someone (I personally would be very mindful of the situation before ever saying hello), but their audience is ultimately the base of all of their succes, and taking a picture with a few of them/being recognized seems like a relatively small price to pay for that.nephilimcat wrote:Yeah, but I think being popular shouldn't mean that people should approach you wherever you are.
