Well from tabinof we know that they do text each other, but we obviously have no idea how much. We also know that they call each other when the other is away on holiday (like when Dan was in India), and they might even skype each other, but that we do not know (except for in their earlier days of course and when they were working on the book).youdoyou wrote:I'm curious as to how much they text (if at all) each other when ever they're seperated.
I'd say both following that account this morning is a good indication of some form of communication being kept up.SquishPhan wrote:Well from tabinof we know that they do text each other, but we obviously have no idea how much.

gah, who am i kidding, please fill my evening with funny tweets and edits of as i am just a humble i just don't really think they would film that much there - only prerecorded stuff, how much of those do they have anyway, you think? - also don't think they will do many live shows (once a month if we're lucky 
) prove me wrong boys! 
That would be so cute, and I could actually see that happening.alittledizzy wrote: I'd say both following that account this morning is a good indication of some form of communication being kept up.
(Imagine if they were just spamming each other with animal pictures.) (Like if Phil woke up too early bc of jetlag and sent Dan a few.) (Or like if Dan was bored and sent Phil a bunch for him to wake up to.) (I'll let myself out.)
These are all great. Times like these I just really love the phandom.majitzu wrote:#WhyWasDanInTheAlley?
I'd guess a lot, since apparently it's how they communicate whilst they're in the house.youdoyou wrote:I'm curious as to how much they text (if at all) each other when ever they're seperated.
I 100% agree with everything you said. That is allironic wrote:Re: dan-centrism
Not much to contribute but I'll put it under a spoiler 'cause maybe you'd like to move on already.

Unfortunately, I've never seen The Science of Sleep, so my intuition could be completely off the mark. Looking at Wikipedia and reading about Stéphane gave me a bit of context on who this character Phil supposedly relates to is, and here was somethings that I found curious:Phil wrote:3. Stéphane from The Science of Sleep - reminds me of me
For one, it doesn't surprise me that Phil sees himself in this character. It seems that he is aware of how eccentric he can be to the point where he may throw some people off.Stéphane Miroux is a man whose vivid dreams and imagination often interfere with his ability to interact with reality[...]His mother implies the position is a creative role, and he prepares colourful drawings, each showing a disaster, for his "disasterology" calendar. However, nobody appreciates his talents and it transpires that his mother had led him on[...]Stéphane realizes that Stéphanie (love interest), like him, is creative and artistic[...]Stéphane becomes more enamoured with Stéphanie the more he spends time with her and shares his many inventions with her[...]
I have never seen the movie either, but this does sound very interesting to me. Maybe I should watch the movie soonish.crash[] wrote:So, something caught my eye in the last thread, (I'm sorry, I don't remember who posted this. ;_; ) and I thought it was weird because I swear I've never seen this?

The first excerpt reminded me a bit of Chris' ask.fm answer about Phil seeming like he lived in two worlds. The second excerpt, however, makes me a bit sad. I'm sure there are several points in Phil's life where he may feel like his creativity and thought process may not be appreciated by those around him, so there's that.
Along with that train of thought, there's a second half of the plot where Stéphane falls in love with a character who he both relates to and can share his underappreciated creative side with. I'm not going to say Phan, (though I'm sure people can draw a million connections there) but there is also seems to be an undercurrent of needing approval/validation from Stéphane about his passions that resounded with Phil in some form.
I don't know, I thought it was interesting? I don't even think I made sense, considering how my knowledge of this movie is literally from Wikipedia. If anyone who has seen this movie can expand on my thoughts that'd be grand.
tbh they'd overlap way too frequently to be realistic. i'm sure there's some way that separate discussion topics could be organised, but pretty much every conversation about one of them links almost perfectly to the other. i hate the 'joined at the hip' views some people have but when it comes to discussions, it's kind of true. even in a topic about one, the other would be brought up in a comparisonspaceguitar wrote:Anyone ever feel like we should have separate Dan and Phil threads?
Yeah I don't really see it working out either, and for me there is no need or want to.jaej wrote:tbh they'd overlap way too frequently to be realistic. i'm sure there's some way that separate discussion topics could be organised, but pretty much every conversation about one of them links almost perfectly to the other. i hate the 'joined at the hip' views some people have but when it comes to discussions, it's kind of true. even in a topic about one, the other would be brought up in a comparisonspaceguitar wrote:Anyone ever feel like we should have separate Dan and Phil threads?
Agreed. As ironic put it, if you want to talk more about one of them/a particular topic, you can always initiate it instead of waiting for everyone else to. Don't be discouraged if nobody is analyzing Phil deeply enough. I'm sure lots of people will be happy to chime in if an interesting theory/analysis is brought up. And if you don't want to read/discuss something, you can always skip it. At least that's what I do and it works for me lol.SquishPhan wrote:Yeah I don't really see it working out either, and for me there is no need or want to.jaej wrote:tbh they'd overlap way too frequently to be realistic. i'm sure there's some way that separate discussion topics could be organised, but pretty much every conversation about one of them links almost perfectly to the other. i hate the 'joined at the hip' views some people have but when it comes to discussions, it's kind of true. even in a topic about one, the other would be brought up in a comparisonspaceguitar wrote:Anyone ever feel like we should have separate Dan and Phil threads?
True. After a while it would be completely pointless.jaej wrote:tbh they'd overlap way too frequently to be realistic. i'm sure there's some way that separate discussion topics could be organised, but pretty much every conversation about one of them links almost perfectly to the other. i hate the 'joined at the hip' views some people have but when it comes to discussions, it's kind of true. even in a topic about one, the other would be brought up in a comparisonspaceguitar wrote:Anyone ever feel like we should have separate Dan and Phil threads?
I'll happily join! Those tweets are great, and right away remind me who he is related to. From what I know of them, I like the Lesters and their partners.majitzu wrote:Do some of you wanna join the Martyn Lester fan club?
