Dan & Phil Part 62: Cat Master and Boy-slave

[AroboticPhil]

Sidenote : after watching the video a few times and reading Dan's comments etc, am I the only one who got strangely attached to tiny Phil ? I picture him just living his smol life, cutting cardboard for PJ, eating cereal, having a weird ambiguous relationship tension with Dan and I'm sad he doesn't actually exist irl (kinda like Dil)(except I like Dil way less). I just feel like this universe would be way funnier if everything was the same except tiny Phil is a thing and nobody ever questions it

It's even cuter if you imagine big Phil still existing and being very excited over his tiny counterpart, and big Phil walking into the room to catch his tiny version deep in conversation with Dan or like, curled up in Dan's hair while he and Dan nap together.

Or big Phil going home to visit his family and tiny Phil staying home with Dan to keep him company, but they actually end up both getting really sad and cry together because they miss Phil
..... I'm gonna need someone to write a fic

(edit : top of the page with this silly post I'm sorry haha)

I don’t know, I don’t think Phil should trust little Phil around a sleeping Dan. That belly button fixation..

I only watched the vid once last night and while I think I enjoyed it overall, I couldn’t handle the cringe omg. I had to keep pausing and I was honestly sweaty by the end. It was a whole ordeal, but my stress levels were high yesterday so I think I’ll do better trying a rewatch later today. But I really loved a moment early in the vid where Dan guessed PJ wrote an answer and PJ did an adorable laugh in response like, ‘what? I wouldn’t write that’ and of course it had been Phil. Maybe it was the cereal answer? Whatever, I’m butchering the moment, but it came off as being so sweet to me. Gentle little nerds

Dan's Spotify review for 2017!

[Ewok]

Dan’s tweet about his top music for 2017 including Chanel by Frank Ocean made me

Every time I listen to that song I think of Dan. So. Nice to know it was for good reason.

I don't think I'd categorize it as 'sharing kinks' for sure but it's also possible to be fascinated with something so much that regular mentions end up happening, and for that interest to be a sign of something a bit more deep rooted. It's kind of a gray area - like, I think the furry mentions for Dan and Phil started basically as soon as Dan and Phil met and yeah if someone has been 'joking' about the same thing consistently for eight years I definitely do not believe that is purely a joke anymore, I think there's something there. But the furry thing is also more than just a porn kink, and we all know Dan is into his internet subcultures. On the other hand, I think Phil's macrophilia thing could just be a fascination with it as a concept, not necessarily something he gets off to.

This is definitely where I’m at. Though I do think it’s curious that Dan has claimed the furry thing as his own, when it seemed to start out as more of a Phil thing. Perhaps he’s just more comfortable talking/joking about it.

Just remember while picturing tiny!Phil that he probably has a very high voice.

Off to listen to some music.

My IDB stickers came in an they're so cute I had to share. Also thanks to those that keep this place up and running! This has been a much better experience than my last big fandom.

Aw, yay!! I love that people are starting to get their stuff! For anyone who is just popping in, you can check out what we're doing here.

Redbubble is also doing daily promo codes for different things, so if you wanted a mug - today with the promo code DAYNINE you can get 20% off home decor... and apparently they count coffee mugs as home decor.

Hey, looks like the Truth Bombs #2 is trending! That's a good sign after being temporarily demonetised.

Aww I love how well the pixel pink trash can goes with the pixel people

And I really do the shibes.

i looked, there's only tiny dan on ao3 - someone needs to take all these tiny phil imaginings and write them

edit: the stickers look so good

what do you guys think today's game is? dan said it didn't go as planned, i think that might imply some challenge aspect? or another sims, and dil really did get pregnant again please no more children

[fondsmiles]

okay, so, I had a thought and I wanted to know this for a while and since deppy most likely won't reply to my tweet asking them, y'all will have to discuss with me:

what's their deal with editing gaming videos?
like, who does it? do they take turns editing? is it, "you do all the sims ones and i do all the flash games and you..."? is it whoever just has the most time and/or wants to do it? or do they both edit the videos together, like maybe phil starts but then takes a break and dan takes over, until it's all a big mash of their editing together?

for some reason, the question who makes their editing decisions has become increasingly important to me and i think that we as a fandom can solve it, if we really put our heart and soul into it. i hope i can count on you.

dan listened to five minutes more music on spotify than me this year i'm strangely proud that we were so close??? we also both had toby fox in our top five artists-- the undertale soundtrack is so good to study and nap to.

(I never psoted about the new truth bombs but WOW GREAT even though sophie and pj may as well have been cardboard cutouts for all they contributed)

I actually had this thought last gamingmas. At the time I wanted to know because imo it seemed like Dan left more Phan stuff in the videos and Phil edited more of it out but now that their behavior is so different (and has been for the entire year) I haven’t really analyzed their videos like I used to

[hello9217]

Lol it looks like Phil privated his Steam account so we can’t know what their playing anymore

[fancybum]

Rude. BUT I doubt he hadn’t realized up until now that people could see it, so I’m choosing to believe that means they have something interesting enough coming up that they want the element of surprise and therefore I am excited at this development. Flawless logic.

Well, Dan's is still public and he must know people are checking it ever since spooky week, i wonder what game they are preparing that it must be a secret.

I find it incredibly hard to tell. I think their style is very similar. sometimes, they leave something in where the other person was surprised in the video ("you're keeping that in?!"), and then I always think that it probably was the not-surprised person who edited the video.
overall, I kind of always assumed Dan to be editing more (maybe because that's what I've seen people say), but recently they have mentioned Phil editing videos a lot, so I really just don't know anymore

[Secretstanner]

With the who does the editing I always though Dan took on the majority of the gaming video editing because iv seen other YTubers like Louise that have said he’s offered to edit the video for them. And I remember in a live show from back in 2015 he talked about getting someone to help edit the videos but not completely done by someone else. With last gamingmas I thought he did most of the videos but this year it looks like phil has done most of them so far or at least started them. I do think they help both edit them even their videos for the personal channels so they can give constructive criticism. I remember a few weeks ago dan said he was editing phils video and that was the first time I’d heard one of them say about editing each other’s videos and it stuck with me

Dan's Spotify review for 2017!

14 500 minutes... Mine was almost 186 000. i actually got super excited about Chanel being in the top songs :') and I too had Toby Fox in my most listened artists, haha. So yeah, I'm still waiting for Dan to rebrand as the music vlogger dj Daniel Howell, his music talk will always be my favorite part of his ls.

Aaaanyway, how late are they gonna upload, geez. Last night i was fast asleep as they uploaded the Truth bomb #2. Which i liked tho, i really enjoy them playing and I doooo like PJ. The only thing that was bugging me was how tiny Sophie's voice was, and it made her even more invisible in the video. But otherwise, a good vid and I need them to play more board games.

Yeah I remember Dan saying he prefers to edit videos, even other peoples that he is in, because he’s kind of a control freak in that aspect. He just wants to make sure the final product is something that he is 100% okay with. I do think they switch off editing the videos though. When they first started the gaming channel he said that he would edit while Phil made the thumbnails but I don’t think it’s like that anymore.
