Both of these videos are love. they are really selling this tour well the the more natural look into their lives and I can't wait for the content we'll get.

also with the flat - the moon room was in the last video too - it's where they both changed their clothes. I'm pretty convinced at this point they share that room.

It works. i don't know if i should look forward to the stories and pictures that will come out of this show. or just avoid anything to do with it and them until after it's over to spare myself the torment.
I feel this so hard, I don’t know what I want to do yet either :napsta:
I feel like this picture is an accurate representation of my current mood though :lol:
Thanks and have a great day! Oil me

Phew, I really needed that today. I loved it, I love them and I can't believe tour is starting so soon.

I'm pretty shook over that bedroom footage. Like dizzy said, idc how some of you do this literally all the time with or without your own bff. I'm HAPPY, let me have this because I had a DAY and I need some happiness about them letting down their guard a bit and shit. Thank you for understanding.

Speaking of bedrooms and flat theories. The 2 flat theory still wins huh? :illuminati:

I'm gonna rewatch this 10 more times and turn into a puddle of mush whenever they fondly talk to each other and tease each other and ugh. I can't believe we were whining and begging for a DITL all of last year and now they just drop a compilation of a week on us. Actually I can, it's very them :')

this video gave me life. i feel very blessed.

i love the comfortable atmosphere throughout the video. starting off the video with a dad joke just a minute in, typical phil. the yoga ball moment, the flirty friendly banter, the fact that mr. phillip lester filmed dan who is in bed possibly naked at 1am, and almost everything in the video in general was very /chef's kiss/ 👌 so many juicy bits in this video i cannot even list them all. i am interested on how the "letting people control our lives in a safe environment" will be like though considering how some part of the fandom can get...........carried away sometimes.

also, ill be looking forward to the updated flat theories

Oof that video was great. They seemed so happy and so good. I can’t muster up more thoughts past just grinning like an idiot.

I’m definitely interested in flat theories. This video showed that 1) they live on the first floor (see balcony, view out the window when Phil showed his tiny dead plant, and view when showing cherry blossom tree) 2) moon room, kitchen, lounge with gray sofa and tv, lounge with old sofa and muse poster, Dan’s filming desk, and Dan’s liveshow desk are all on the same floor. 3) Stairs going up could be seen in a few shots, including reflected in dan sunglasses during the mailman core part. Assuming Phil’s room and the gaming room are up there. What else are we missing?

for the "using all the props for one bit of the show", im guessing theyre either making a live interactive fanfic, or some sort of choose your adventure type of game

rizzo wrote: Sun Apr 22, 2018 10:11 pm Ok, I'm gonna list off a handful of bits I think are discussion worthy. Here we go!

[*]1:06 Phil did A LOT for me here. Holy shit he looks so good with his hair back and that little bit of stubble. Fucks me up.
damn yeah, he's looking really good lately, but especially in that clip
[*]3:22 They spend lunch time that could potentially involve the bigger team together alone watching Netflix. And that's fine. That's fine.
Are we surprised at this point? How are they never sick of each other? Not jealous, nope not jealous at all
[*]4:26 "....you can be the one that looks like he's got some veiny-painy going on." I have no comment on this. Just thought it needed noting.
lmao that stuck out to me too. We know Dan's into veins and stuff like that too (from an old liveshow, and also old tumblr likes/reblogs)
[*]5:08 Dan in bed (to one side).... Phil filming Dan in bed.... Phil filming Dan in bed at 1 am.... I physically am unable to compute as of yet.
By the next ditl, phil's just gonna be filming him while he's actually laying in the bed next to him
[*]6:17 Who knew Phil saying "cover your balls" was a thing I needed? Not I, my friends. Not I. But here we are.
okay, I somehow didn't catch this bit the first time through?? But I just watched this part about 10 times in a row. I don't know why I loved this so much, but at least I'm not alone. I love how when Dan says 'nah' at 6:20, Phil's says "Are you sure?", like so concerned about the potential harm to Dan's balls. I loved his voice when he said that.
[*]9:53 Dan's really pretty. Just... just wanted to remind everyone, in case you were too distracted by Phil in this video.
This is a very important comment, thank you. (no but seriously, dan is so pretty. I can't deal)
[*]10:24 The entire haircut bit deserves it's own thread of discussion. Dan being so involved? It being in "Dan's" bedroom? I am - as the children say - shook.
I definitely didn't notice this was in Dan's bedroom. I clearly haven't reached demon level yet. Disappointed in myself :lol:
[*]12:36 Dan has an awkward bulge in the crotch...al region. (Honestly probably the fabric.) But I totally picked up on Phil doing his best not to pan down too much.
I wasn't going to be the one to point this out (just allude to it earlier), so thank you for that. But yeah, probs just fabric

Also, side note: at 12:37 when Phil says "Is that a mail romper?", I fully thought he said "Is that a male romper?" and then I thought Dan was about to bitch him out for it (as was I) but then Dan didn't actually go there and I was like what the hell. Had to rewind and watch again to realize Phil meant mail not male. Phew. I should have trusted him more, sorry Phil.
[*]16:19 Again, just a friendly reminder that Dan is BEAUTIFUL.
Again, a very very important comment
[*]17:20 The whole sunglasses bit was so domestic. Gross. Also, I'm with Dan. Throw 'em out, Phil.
I love how they can ask each other for opinions and actually trust to get very honest answers. Dan's "maannn, noooo" wasn't sugercoating at all, he was just like nope, don't work for you, and they know how to give each other real opinions without worrying the other will be offended, and in the same vein they know how to take criticism from the other without getting offended. I know in this case it's only sunglasses, but I feel like this is how they are with everything else. I love me some good trust and open communication

This isn't particularly important or new, but there do seem to be two balconies. The cherry blossom one from the slounge-kitchen doesn't look like the pigeon one. The pigeon area looks smaller and is probably attached to the giant-tv-and-wall-of-windows lounge based on the sequencing.

4:42 Phil is by the light gray chair, you can see the balcony type flooring out the window
4:51 Going out to the pigeon balcony right after, doesn't look very wide
17:30 Going out to the cherry blossom balcony, plant beside the door - as he moves the camera you can see it's much larger than where the wall would be on the other one

Def still voting two flats.

I have nothing valuable to contribute really, just looking forward to knowing the entire show before my date rolls around. (Not sarcasm btw, I actually do prefer to know what I'm getting for things like this as I can be more relaxed and enjoy it that way. :D)
That's my socializing quota for the month up.

i woke up from my Depression Nap, seen the upload notif, smashed that like button, watched it, been a demon on tumblr for an hour, and now i am back here happy as ever.
i loved the entire thing, so beautiful. so much character development, phil getting his hair cut in the moon room? hell yes. i didn't feel any fakeness in this vid and i am definitely going to watch it again and again and again.
dare i say i love it more than Giving The People What They Want?

okay after rewatching and arguing with photoshop then rewatching again my mind has finally processed it ... sort of. I'm not going to rehash specific moments because they've been mentioned a lot already, and this isn't really a new thought either, but what struck me so much was how mundanely domestic it was. like obviously there were the rehearsal clips (which were amazing) but it would have been <i>so</i> easy for them to make an ii promo vlog that showed only the rehearsals. but nope they included the haircut and 1am work in bed and dan's optical illusion crotch ( :shock: ) and time on balconies and the lift and so on and it remains so shocking to me to see. I think I forget sometimes that they're actual human being out there sharing their lives and living together and just ... wow. this video feels like it emphasized that so much, in part because of the pure ease and comfort of their interactions, and in part because, of all the ditls, this seems to be the one where including such moments was a conscious choice because their boundaries are so different. :love2:

hmmm ok so I was team "2 conjoined flats" but I just realized the walls in the cherry blossom patio vs the pigeon balcony are different colors/textures altogether (red tile vs plain white)... so I guess they are in 2 separate buildings?

I don't have anything to back it up but I now think that the 'filming flat' is actually a garage conversion in a house. Something about the doors, layout of the kitchen, see through wall with blinds and hard looking walls is giving me that feeling. It would explain the two entrances as well, normal one and new garage one.

The cherry blossom tree also looks like it's on a veranda in a garden more than a balcony. There's brick walls and a fence in the background and the entrance leads to the muse poster and the old couch etc

Just some thoughts. I'm sure I've missed something which blows it out of the water.

Three watches and I give you timestamps. Posting before reading others reactions. Really enjoyed this casual, comfortable feel.

0:01 The trunk for someone/something to pop out of. But if it’s them, who will wheel them out?
0:03 Phil plopping down next to a just casually reclining French girl Dan
0:31 Day in the life, behind the scenes, vloggy adventure, sneaky peaky, quest
0:40 First spon, enthusiastic Dan “it gonna be good and stuff”, “see us in real life before we die”
0:48 Full reclining shot. That sofa is deep. I appreciate it a bit more, even if I hate the asymmetricalness. Love the cloud pillows. Hi pastel plushies!
0:55 Bad pun and the pear in Dan’s face seems lewd, have fun with photoshop folks
1:00 Good Vibes tee vs stolen Angry emoji cushion
1:20 Phil opens his mouth to interject something, but it gets cut
1:22 Always late to their own rehearsals
1:36 Seems like famous preformers rehearse here, cool cool
1:40 “I’ve already done enough yoga with you”- Phil
1:45 Yeah I agree that is pornographic
2:00 Dan’s just striking all the reclining poses
2:22 Dan and Phil, professional role players
2:26 Beheaded roses, what a lovely romantic gesture Dan
2:40 Those aren’t hobbit doors, you’re just a giant
2:46 Close up of Dan is giving me making of TATINOF flashbacks, my heart is full
2:50 I don’t understand this simulation talk
3:15 Custard Creams and Quavers, a balanced British diet, while watching what I presume is trash
3:24 Mini marshmallow toss
3:30 Less single use plastic (I would say they make glass, but their both clumsy as heck)
3:38 Slingshot
3:45 Outfits: bold, but a bit boring imo
4:04 Knee gap cam
4:14 “You button up that shirt, sir”
4:15 Tag yourself abs, Dan is “thick chest” Phil gets “veiny painy”
4:30 “Hello nips”- Phil says as if to close old friend.
4:42 Oh my god, the windows are open in the upstairs lounge while filming towards them, it’s a miracle! RIP little plant.
4:51 Pigeon balcony has a red Japanese maple, Dan doesn’t know the correct use of bloom
5:07 I wasn’t prepared for a shirtless Dan in bed, but I’m okay. Only 1am? I’m shocked.
5:20 Themes: being introverts, the difference between our larger than life personas and the reality of who we are as real people, analyzing the relationship that we have with our audience, whether people like to identify as fans or individuals, growing up with us, the consequences of control and giving the people what they want and if it’s a a good idea or not (I’m excited about the difference between personas and self, growing up with them sounds good too even if I can’t relate, I’m terrified about the consequences. Oh and there’s pants on the floor)
5:46 Serial killer suits, Dexter
6:12 There’s the little crossbow, was waiting for that
6:16 Dan’s more concerned about his face than his balls
6:25 Dan hopes there’s WiFi in hell
6:30 Other bow with big foam ball tipped arrow
6:36 Black wig on the floor...
6:46 Sound jump scare
6:50 Idk about you but I’m pretty over this what’s under their beds thing
6:54 Dan + Shrek = Hulk? Does not compute.
7:03 Dan thinks that props are ugly and disgusting
Handcuffs, badge and baton
Black extensions... hmm faux fringe?
Make brushes would be giving some people what they want
Flower crowns and bouquets too (I feel like their going to drag us for wanting it though)
7:37 I like the juxtaposition of the bowl of Tide Pods and can of Diet Coke
7:44 Lots of photoshop opportunities, it’s fine Phil
7:50 Dan just sleepily watching Phil play Fortnight is sweet, but he’s still alert enough to get loud and excited
8:25 Dan sat at the big black piano with the guy who looks a bit like Jude Law makes me emotional
8:30 Leading into Phil recording makes me very excited
8:31 Soft teasing
8:34 Nevermind, Dan just ruined it my singing dreams. No, but this prerecording of reactions feels like an interactive video
8:50 Light denim jacket and glasses, a good look
9:20 Phil’s a fake fan/mentor
9:42 I thought Dan was going to say he would steal it somewhere else
10:15 I’m pretty sure we would all be fine if you huddled together the whole time
10:23 Phil getting his hair cut in his bestest bro’s bedroom, like you do. I’m sure it’s just because it has the best mirror.
10:41 He is shorn, thankfully it will grow
10:45 Dan just playing with Phil’s hair
11:00 Model playing and stuff
11:25 “Guide us through it Lester” (good look at the texture of their dining chairs)
12:00 Tour merch! THEY WANT, CONTROL, straight forward logo jumper, really dig the cloudy grey
12:35 Romper reveal. I looked up the postal uniforms there, they look nothing like that, UK people, did they ever wear rompers?
12:57 The pose and caption are born before he even goes outside. I like Phil’s “a sad maildan”
13:06 Aww they wore the insta outfits on the same day
13:20 Sun shaming and wasp from tweets were on this day
14:30 “Real life butterfingers”
14:45 Breakfast in the filming flat? Nah.
15:10 Phil wants glitter, Dan wants hi-gloss black
15:24 Fishnet, leg and foot content
15:30 Crotch content, I can’t see the brown spots, I do see Phil’s emoji pajamas though
15:53 Stuck in a lift nightmare
16:00 “I’m gonna eat you, don’t get this wrong, it’s not going to happen the other way around”- Dan “Oh my god”- Phil
16:05 Dan get your hand out of your trousers
16:22 Singing Chandelier and Circle of Life
16:41 Jump scare
16:57 Some love eyes Lester from here to 17:15
They somehow feel the most coupley in the car
17:20 Gotta side with Dan on the shades
17:40 Cherry blossoms don’t bloom forever Dan, you need to revisit plant biology basics
17:45 Muse poster, I missed you
17:52 Instagram spon, I am ready
18:15 Last tour spon
18:50 Take away, “living their best life” with fried food dips and Riverdale

OMG that video!!!!!! AMAZING!!!!
I just loved it. I love seeing all the domestic moments and I'm really excited for the tour, even if I'm not going. I love how comfortable they are around each other, well we already knew that, but them showing us more of their life and not giving a f... is incredible :stan: .

(I still remember the days when they barely looked at each other and never dared to touch. Please let those times be gone forever!)

They might be in separate buildings because even the interiors are so different that I have a hard time picturing both flats in the same building. Also - the balcony in the snow ball clip has a metal railing and is pretty small so it doesn't look like the same area. The filming flat looks like it has the backyard with the trees and their living space doesn't appear to have a yard that we've seen.

I've always thought the flats were separate because they sometimes have sneakers on/are dressed up more than when they used to film in their old flat and especially during gamingmas when they forgot to film the endscreen and couldn't be bothered to go back to the gaming room it seemed like they couldn't go back because they were already at home, settled for the night and didn't want to leave again.

The two balconies look like they have the same type of flooring, and both flats/apartments/whatever seem to have rounded walls, large windows, similar structure. I can't imagine why they would make their life harder by having to travel long distance between filming and living in different buildings, not even for the exercise :lol:

On view number four (oh don’t worry I still have one more left tonight) I realized they said “Are you ready? Here he comes” while opening the trunk. So not them popping out then. I hope it’s a dog and not Dil. Very important info to add from the first two seconds of the video I know.

Also Dan’s simple white shirt, with its wide neck reminds me a bit of what he wore under his plaid button up in “Hello Internet”, getting back to basics and showing off those collar bones.

Good god I haven’t even been on Tumblr yet. All the gifs await.

My favorite takeaway from this video is how everyone seems almost relaxed about it - everyone's excited, because it was an amazing video, but no one's busting down any walls about it. I feel like we're all just feeding off what Dan and Phil are putting into the universe right now. Calm, aggressively pleasant and accepting that this is the new reality we live in where this kind of content is what gets delivered up to us on a regular basis.

And I know this is a controversial opinion and in an ideal situation it wouldn't be an either/or but in the scenario where we wait slightly longer between content because Dan and Phil are filling their lives with other projects and career goals that leave them this contagiously happy when we do see them vs we continue to get 2-3 videos a week but feel it slowly stagnate as they're not finding time for anything else besides making videos and it's losing some of the joy for them, I'm glad we're living in this timeline.

A small addition of mine to the 2 flat theory that I noticed...

The balcony with the cherry blossom that is connected to the slounge appears to be on the ground floor; it doesn't seem like there's any railing or edge that would make it on a higher level. And we know that the lounge with the stairs and the grey sofa has skylights.

So unless this flat has a ton of floors... or they've managed to find one of the shortest apartment buildings in all of London... I'm fully committed to the 2 flat theory!

If anyone spots a gifset of the "this is literal pornography" moment with the full quote, drop it here! I've seen one but has Dan saying 'I want to stop' not 'I want to stop filming this' and I'm fickle enough that I don't want to save/reblog the abbreviated one.

loved the video. i just want to keep watching it over and over.

also loving the clear growth you can see between the last tour and now. before, they went out of their way to try and convince us that they weren't sharing a bed and that dan was sleeping in a tiny bunk. and now phil is filming dan in bed at 1 am. and not a single part of the ditl (witl?) was filmed in "phil's room". just shows how much more comfortable and open they are now and i love it.

as far as the flats....i'm stumped. i used to be firmly against the two flats theory. for about an hour earlier i was converted, but upon my 3rd rewatch, i'm not so sure! the flooring on both balconies appears to be the same to me. so either two balconies/patio/whatever areas likely at the same building or just one shown at different angles.

the other thing that brings me back to one flat is the curved walls. whats the likelihood that BOTH places they picked have curved walls? currently think i'm on team If There Are Two Flats They're In the Same Building. but why go to the trouble of two flats if they're in the same place? why not just find ONE place that covers everything they need? lots of questions. not as many answers.

ive been trying to find one too! they've left out the full quote, the most important part.
also before the exercise ball scene when dan told phil to do yoga, i found it cute when phil said "i already did enough yoga on you"
