I'm a mess right now. JFC.

So here's my thought. I don't think Cornelia showing us Dan is an accident. Especially not with that pose he's doing. Sip some conspiracy kool-aid with me, friends.

I think Dan and Phil wanted Cornelia to share this. I think they're totally cool with us more "hardcore" fans knowing and enjoying that they're together this Christmas season and they're aware that said fans will check the likes of Cornelia's instagram or like... Bryony's twitter. Perhaps the general, casual population doesn't need to speculate about these sorts of things, but they're literally giving the phans what they want.

They've said before that they drop clues about things. How is this any different? We get to enjoy Dan being with Phil's family and regular followers on none-the-wiser.

Merry Christmas, IDB! :ribena:

I swear I've read this fanfic before...

But in all seriousness, damn Christmas definitely came early. It's like we knew, but now it's like... yeah we KNOW for sure!! I hope they're having a blast. Damn my emotions are all over the place.

I agree with you, @rizzo!!! That story doesn't look like an accident! Well not to me! I'm so far down the trashcan right now xD

I have no original thoughts, just strongly echoing all the sentiments going down here already.

I 100% agree with this whole post. They knew what they were doing - especially with the timing of the tweets- and Cornelia would never post anything without their approval.

I have felt like they've been dropping stronger hints since Rainbow Island and they have been more open in their last 2 liveshows with admitting they went on outings with PJ and Sophie and with Anthony and Miel. I think that they won't do anything too crazy for the general viewers until after the tour, if ever, but I am just so happy that they are sharing things with us on their own terms.

I made a very strange noise when I saw that picture of Dan. My heart grew three sizes <3

I also agree with this. The fact that they tailor content and what they share differently for casual viewers and the hardcore fans has been apparent from quite some time.

I was thinking the same thing, it’s even funny to me that you can literally only just see dan at the end of the boomerang and nobody else (except Cornelia lol) almost like it was angled and timed just perfectly

what a christmas present :ribena:

Could you imagine this happening, definitely with their blessing, even two years ago? What a time to be alive. I love this. <3 I'm suffering thanks to a very badly timed cold, but this still made my day. Have fun boys. :love1:

I don't have much to say either, but my heart is filled with joy and warmth. this year has been a wild ride and this feels like the culmination. the one thing most of us didn't think would happen actually happened and it feels so significant that they shared it with us. I agree with @rizzo that this feels intentional too. we've been saying this all year, but they have really been making such an effort to be more open and I couldn't be happier for them. they've come so far and I'm acutally really emotional rn. Merry Christmas indeed <3

Yeah, just wanted to come and agree with what everyone else said because holy shit. This was one of those things that they absolutely did not have to share with us, and could have just left up to speculation and people wouldn't have been disappointed. But they did let us know, and I agree with @rizzo that it was almost certainly intentional. Ugh, they are just so comfortable now and it's crazy that we get to witness them sharing so much more with us. :garbage: :garbage: :garbage:

Also, can I just add that Cornelia always looks beautiful, what a queen.

omg i was surprised with how spooky that actually was!! i'm with dan, it's probably because of the fear of sneaking around. also, the way phil pronounced mama as "muma" was insanely cute

I think it's pretty much a given if Cornelia is posting about him being there they are not trying to keep it secret.
Cornelia (and Martyn) are not the out of touch relatives who don't really "get" the youtube or phandom thing so think they can put stuff on twitter and it will go unnoticed.
They have a youtube themed business and they go to youtube conventions (and on tour with D&P) to sell their merch so they know how intense the fanbase is. Phandom members have tweeted her and probably about half her followers have them as their icon.
She isn't going to accidentally post something they want kept secret (nevermind doing it twice if we count the 3 tall boys hint).

Cornelia's IG story still wins for most exciting bit of content today.

(To be fair to them, the video was cute - it just would have taken a lot more than that to overshadow Dan on IoM.)

As many of you, the fact that Dan's spending time with the Lesters before Christmas makes me feel all warm inside <3

I enjoyed the video too, even though I'm not the biggest fan of horror! It definitely gave me FNAF vibes and I wonder what would've happened if they had made it to the last day. I also thought it was cute when Dan just stayed on the floor after he slipped out of his chair.

the fact that they stopped playing at this point in game was pretty anticlimatic. ;)

mte after yesterday's excellent Golf video and today's confirmation that Dan is with the Lester fam on IoM, they literally could have uploaded Poptropica Part 2 and I would have only bitched about it moderately :ribena:
