Not sure if this has been posted already, but both Dan and Phil liked this tweet:
and I honestly think that's such a fucking cute thing for them to do??? Ugh.
I am always on Phil Lester's side

i'm 100% a phan believer but that doesn't really say anything to me. i retweeted it earlier and those pictures have been all over my timeline so it doesn't seem odd to me that they'd both see it and think it was funny/fɪl lɛstɚ/ wrote:Not sure if this has been posted already, but both Dan and Phil liked this tweet: and I honestly think that's such a fucking cute thing for them to do???

i thought it was cute to see both of them liking it as well! i didn't see it anywhere else but from them personally, and i send stuff like that to my friends all the time ("tag yourself") and i liked picturing them doing that haha. i'm sure dan would say "i'm the pizza on the ground" or something silly like that, and phil would praise the cute art. but even if they just both happened to like it, it's adorable imo. they really do have the same tastes./fɪl lɛstɚ/ wrote:Not sure if this has been posted already, but both Dan and Phil liked this tweet: and I honestly think that's such a fucking cute thing for them to do???

that's exactly what I pictured!

Because it's a bank holiday in the UK, I keep thinking it's a Sunday rather than Monday and was pleasantly surprised when I realised we get a new DINOF tonight! Does everyone think it'll be a Dan re-brand? I can't really imagine it being anything else.

Dan's rebrand seems most plausible. I am not very excited as it's finally time for another (rare) dinof and it's going to be wasted on Dan talking about himself/his channel instead of making something topical. He expressed how he feels about dinof in liveshows, so I don't expect much new information for the dedicated viewers.
New merch isn't something I'd personally wear, but I recently bought zipper shoes, so I guess I'm brainwashed one way or another lol.
Face App video was v cute and cheered me up, but people using horrific screenshots as avatars is not cool.

Island, yes please. What I really want to know is, is the kitchen downstairs or up? (Or are there perhaps two kitchens? Their use of the word duplex still confuses me. Also do we know for sure if Phil's bedroom is downstairs? I assume so because of the not wanting to haul the camera comments). If a the kitchen is downstairs I think we are more likely to see it sooner than Halloween. I want more baking. And a cooking ls please (one of them cooks, the other keeps an eye on the chat but occasionally leaves us to do sous chef things and be domestic together).DatCog wrote:If it's really spacious, they might have an island unitkarma_yeah wrote:Asking the REAL questions . . . for science of course!dontpanic wrote:

Top of the page, seriously?!!
I'm enjoying the merch suggestions. Particularly the quotes. "Normalness leads to sadness". I wish I could tolerate socks with images on them, but they feel so wrong against my skin. I just can't.
Off topic-ish but I can't help sharing domestic D&P watching stories:

Okay, am I the only one who doesn't want Dan to rebrand as Dan Howell? I mean, his danisnotonfire name is such a staple. Would they still call it "phil is not on fire" because it wouldn't make much sense otherwise. They would have to call it "phil howell" or.... Oh, wait, never mind, I take it back.vincentian wrote:Dan's rebrand seems most plausible.

If it's another ISG, I'm out...that would be an unforgivable sin in my book!
As a relatively new fan (late 2015), I'm not particularly attached to the DINOF brand so I wouldn't be bothered if Dan ditched it.
autumnhearth I love your domestic stories of watching D&P with your family!

My thoughts on PINOF exactly (I don't care as much about DINOF staying) Someone did mention the 'Phil Howell" thing earlier and I think it's adorable, hilarious and very unlikely. I think they could still use PhilIsNotOnFire as it is very much an established thing and I don't think Dan will be completely erasing his user name from history (if he changes it at all). So torn. We shall just have to wait and see.
Yay! Thanks. (Let's see if the husband will watch the new video with me today, as he has the day off. I'm betting on no, so that I can be pleased if he does.)DatCog wrote: autumnhearth I love your domestic stories of watching D&P with your family!
i'd be a bit nostalgic/sad too if dan ditched dinof completely! i'm weirdly attached to the end screen/logo thing, too; i mean it objectively doesn't look great but it's endearing and i don't want it to go. but i'll wait with that until it actually happens and! who knows!! cool things might happen along with the rebrand! i'm thinking that in hindsight, dan made sound choices with the "branding-related" things he ditched over the course of time (sexy endscreen dance, danosaurs, ...placentas...should we consider placentas part of his past branding, i don't know), so i don't expect him to do something drastic that will actively diminish my interest in his main channel.
i'm still so curious about the video though! "what's it gonna be?" by shura is playing softly in the distance.
i think my problem with dinof videos is that i always want them to be really good and then i get low-key anxious because i'd be sad if i was disappointed and it's really dumb especially because that means that apparently i hold him to the very same imaginary "quality threshold" that i've voiced distress over in the past
why is there an image saying "jesp woz here" at the bottom of the page? i'm confused.

Honestly I'd just see Dan changing his username and making a big deal out of it with some cheesy 'New Beginnings' style video as him fooling himself into thinking he's doing something worthwhile or something idk. It's like when people cut their hair to symbolize that they're changing into a new and better version of themselves, but then they end up doing the same shit they always did. It's nothing more than a feeling.. There's no point in it if he just keeps making the same subpar (sorry but the survey made me realize that I loved only one video of him last year and it was a bit painful..) content and I don't think he will change that. Oh he might dream of making something on the more serious filmmaker side of things like the TABINOF/TATINOF trailer thing (remember when he wanted to make a documentary because he basically thought he could do better than the director of the one he presented?) but not that many people are here for it and I doubt he'll ever get there. Like he seems to be pretty okay with his content rn (or at least confident enough in uploading the same damn video every few months) soonetruetrash wrote:Okay, am I the only one who doesn't want Dan to rebrand as Dan Howell?

I would've understood a rebrand in 2013 when they were with the BBC and trying more to break into mainstream media.. or even before they'd attach their branding to the tour or permanent physical objects like the books. But now it's just YouTube. And danisnotonfire is far from the worst username he could've chosen as teen. It's unique, kinda quirky (not necessarily random xDD imo) and it suits the channel imo.

ouch
In a strange turn of events, I feel weirdly optimistic today? I won't go so far as to say my expectations are high, but they're not low.. I think the excitement of the (upcoming at the time he filmed? y/n?) move could have been a good motivating element to however he frames the video (if indeed it is about rebranding). Leaving his old branding in his old flat (and yeah all it really comes down to is being able to use 'Dan Howell' professionally with less confusion to stupid people? I guess?) is like how all the llama shit was meant to die with tatinof, the physical part (stage show/moving) helps to cement the psychological part (growing up and out of the past). Basically as meaningless as it ultimately is (name change in a few places, big whoop), maybe it really will help get over some things he feels constrained by, and maybe that relief will be expressed with some fresh creativity and humour. I'm excited?

Shit, this made me laugh. It is true though, I realised it too during the survey, I voted for Diss Track because it's the one that made me laugh the most, the others were ok. I hope he isn't holding back because he wants a certain audience, i.e more male viewers, and is still under the 'quality content' impression. I understand he's an overthinker and whatever but he's uploaded 4 videos this year. 4. I mean, the videos and the channel do well considering how much he uploads, but where do you draw the line? 'Quality content' only seems fitting if you actually upload the content.
(That sounded meaner than I intended. I apologise. Just been something I've been thinking about. I also get him and Phil have been moving, but Phil's managed to upload. Albeit, some with Dan, but you get what I mean.)

This is actually my whole problem with it. The fact that Dan has no issue sticking to a schedule with the gaming channel and content he puts out with Phil (which at this point we can all but certainly say he edits most of) so it really is just something psychological for him that makes dinof videos such a rarity. But if changing the channel name (whether it happens to today or a year from now) helps him with that, then whatever works.lishachi wrote:I also get him and Phil have been moving, but Phil's managed to upload.

I do think he's already started this visual rebranding process, though; he's just gone about it the same slow burn route the tend to take with everything these days. Curly hair, less and less black outfits, etc. If the rebranding video comes today then I will probably assume that in his mind changing all of those things in the same span of time is not a coincedence but a result of a new comfort/confidence that possibly could bleed over into his solo work on youtube. I mean, I'm not holding my breath, I'm just not ruling it out entirely.

I think it would be quite funny tonight if the video isn't him re-branding and we were all wrong. I'd bet my life it isn't an ISG - the last one was way too recent. My favourite Dan video's are usually the storytimes (I Nearly Blinded Myself was great imo) but idk if that's the kinda vid he'd pick for the final one in the old house.

Unlike with the moving video, I am neither hyped nor have any expectations nor really care about the video today. I really don't expect anything since the last time when I expected something happening on Dan's channel, he ended up uploading the (imo) worst episode of ISG so far. I don't even know if we'll ever get that "cheeky" video he mentioned and if this video will be anything special at all
I'm so happy with Phil as a person, Deppy's relationship dynamic and DAPG at the moment, that I don't really care that much about DINOF at all. There was a time where I preferred Dan's videos and at the moment I don't. That's fine. And who knows, maybe he will surprise me today!

Dan seems to only post videos that he thinks really fit the dinof brand (bar stuff like the photobooth and blindfolded makeup challenge). His videos always seem to require a key central topic relating to him, that have to be perfected with the right amount of sketches and edits between clips - Phil's main channel vids are much chiller, more "sit down with me whilst I joke and talk for five minutes" with some sketches. Gaming channel vids are also easier to throw out because it's just playing a game with easy banter in between. Dan has a kind of "perfectionist" element with his main channel, maybe because that's what he assumes most people will judge his personality on, so tries to only pick the best ideas to suit his internet personality.alittledizzy wrote:This is actually my whole problem with it.

I'd like him to upload more on his main channel, but I love gaming vids tbh so the fact that they're uploading much more on the gaming channel in comparison to main channels doesn't upset me. Unlike a year or so ago when gaming vids AND main channel vids were rarities.

Just trying to spread the Dangirl agenda
but they never screamed in their old lounge cause they start talking about the new gaming channel then they say the line above about not worrying about neighbours while filming screaming videos there and then they pat the wall of snug too.autumnhearth wrote:I think they were talking specifically about there being no neighbors on the other side of that wall of the snug/slounge, because on the other side of that wall is the gaming roomawkwardly wrote:Catallena wrote: - Here we go with the screaming again.

but I thought they said they have no neighbours to worry about on that side "and there is no neighbour through the walls sleeping so we won't have that sudden realisation of thinking that we were screaming at people trying to sleep for 4 years" (14:27 ls)
(but yes, less screaming please)
it is not really important just after the liveshow how they worded it I imagined they are on the ground floors in some kind of those new complexes (maybe with a mini garden or terrace)
(more convenient for those Phil bird feedings. maybe he was trying to recreate that Enchanted scene )
Also I never realised how much wildlife is there in english gardens. I'm subscribed to the Wildlife Aid Foundation yt channel and yeah, squirrels and foxes and hedgehogs
