The last Pottermore video was surprisingly good imo just because of the pure banter so that's all I really wanted when I clicked this and they delivered ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Lazy, low effort and somewhat pointless? Yeah, I can agree with that and totally understand the negative reaction I saw some people have towards this. Despite enjoying the first one, my initial reaction when it popped up on my phone wasn't very positive either. A standalone video on a very short quiz... bruh. But like I mentioned yesterday, while I love all the content we get with Gamingmas, I'm at the stage where I'm also a little overwhelmed and this is kinda of like a nice break without being an actual break? I didn't have to concentrate on gameplay to see what the hell is going on (I kinda struggled with that yesterday tbh I kept forgetting who was who) and also pay attention to what they were doing and saying. I just gotta look at them answering questions and some good bantz between them. It's honestly just what I needed and wanted today. The googling cracked me the hell up, it was such a blatant and unashamed attempt to push that shit over the 10 minute edge, but I also couldn't be mad because D&P reacting to animal videos could be an entire new series and I'd live for it.
Good Lord, I have gone soft. My reputation of being a critical stan found dead in a ditch.. but it's been on life support almost the entire year. Maybe it'll be revived when D&P go on tour and potentially leave us in a drought again.
Back to the video, here's commentary:
- is2g their gaming room lighting is getting worse?? It's so ugly. At this point they look more washed out than a kpop idol in pictures after a fansite edits them to erase all the melanin out of their skin.
- "It protects your from the succ." Leave it to Dan to somehow make Dementors kinky. Phil's "Oh." and uncomfortable giggle :')
- "I think the deer is Harry's dad, which is weird. Literal spirit daddy." 1) It's a stag. 2) You think do you? It's only a minor plot point in the series no big deal you fake fanboy you. 3) Don't compare Patronuses with the concept of spirit animals and definitely don't stink your daddy kink in there.
- "The questions are timed, don't say this isn't gaming people!" lmao at this self awareness.
- The butterfly comment reminded me of the time someone photoshopped Dan's face on a butterfly as seen in ISG 1.
- "You're full of salt." "Ok yeah thanks bitch."
- Dan doesn't tackle things head on and wants to always stay safe. Yeah, we know... *ahum*
- Soul or not, Dan doesn't need to worry. As long as he keeps staring all fond and soft at Phil on a daily basis those Dementors will stay the hell away from him.
- The 'your mum' jokes have really made a comeback recently and idk how I feel about that.
- UUUUUHM. Do you see how Phil's fringe is a bit messy there?? That shit looks 10x better than usual. Sadly only a second later he 'fixes' it. Boo.
- "Petranus." omg they're actually 10 year old..
- "It says Better With Headphones." "Fine, we did it wrong." Phil seems a bit suprised by his own sassy tone and laughs it off.
- "That sounds like a recipe for choking. And not in a fun way." Daniel "I Don't Have A Choking Kink" Howell everyone.
- Dan is very sure that Phil serves rather than protects and I'm very interested in this.
- All of NSFW Phannie Tumblr just got cancelled, turns out D&P are actually vanilla as hell. None of this rough shit. I'll cancel myself too I guess.
- Phil shares with us that he doesn't wanna be in any danger, forgetting that we already know he's the most non confrontational human being on this earth.
- Phil chooses sometimes because he doesn't like the word Forever, and Dan fills in with 'it's a bit of a commitment'. Am I the only one who thought of Phil's little 'marriage is just a piece of paper' thing from a few years back? #phandivorce is only a matter of time :')
- Phil is the heart, Dan is the mind.. they're truly a perfect pair
- Siberian Cats are so gorgeous

I don't remember what my Patronus was, but it wasn't a cat and I was pissed about it.
- Dan being a cat anti again. Fight me bitch.
- Phil wished he had a Siberian Cat that hoots because then he'd be a very rich man. CAPITA£ESTER.
- Yes Phil! Come to the cat side! Screw those pesky allergies of yours, cats are worth it.
- Video still didn't hit the 10 minute mark so they just plugged the tour again.
