Dan & Phil Part 70: giving the people what they want

[LadyLackless]

Missed the edit window:

Show was very fun. I was lucky and had an amazing view! It seemed to me that Dan was generally more comfortable than Phil on stage. Phil was clenching his hands quite a lot and seemed a bit nervous, but it was the first time I’ve seen them in the flesh so maybe that’s just what he’s like and not specific to the tour or this show.

[flarequake]

Yeah, Phil often clenches his hands, but he seems to enjoy doing it all. He might not realise he's doing it.

It was lovely to meet everyone. It was such a loud audience, maybe louder than Milton Keynes (which was way louder than Brighton a few times).

Louise is keeping the hype up!

had such an amazing time last night! phil is so skinny irl omg i mean i know he’s lean but my god, his jeans were loose and even so!

also has anyone seen this stuff on twitter about people cropping phil out of their m&g photos?

I haven't seen anything about that on social media. Most likely it's just people making up drama again.

Just popped into the pop-up shop, thought I’d ask Anna all the private details about Deppy and their bowel movements and stuff. Nah just kidding. Looks like a nice lil’ space there and made me laugh that there was like three security outside haha.

Oh no, it's a whole thing on Tumblr. Some girl had a VIP ticket, and I guess was there really only for Dan. When she posted her M&G photo, she'd cropped Phil out. A ton of people started to go off on her, and defending Phil. If you sort the Phan tag by most recent and scoll back, you should find stuff about it.

Honestly, the whole thing seems to have been blown way out of proportion from what I've seen. I don't think (correct me if I'm wrong) she said anything bad about Phil, just posted the photo without him in it. While it's not something I'd personally do even if I didn't like one of the people in the photo as much, it's her money. And if she wants to only post part of the photo on her account after? She can.

People are saying some straight up horrible shit about her, and it always annoys me how everyone can be so behind Dan and his anti-bullying campaigns, and then in the next breath jump on someone who does something they don't like.

[human]

^ Lol idk, people can’t make her like something or someone she doesn’t, but I think people are welcome to judge someone who does something pretty mean like that. I mean, who would do that and not register that it’s pretty rude and cruel?

Ultimately it’s their loss though right, cos Phil is a smol angel bean and there’s more of him to go around for the rest of us. His hugs are second to none tbqh (which I say as a dangirl haha).

I think people took great issue in her not only cropping him out but then later photoshopping him out completely, which imo is a tad ridiculous to go to that much effort to make sure it looks like just you and dan.
I mean if you are only a fan of dan and only dan, which is totally fine, then it's kind of hard to meet him without Phil but to ignore phil, which she did do in her m&g, and say some pretty harsh things about phil, which she has done, is just plain rude. But she paid the money to be like that and dnp met so many other nicer people that day, so I'm sure they (or mainly Phil)hardly remember someone that came off a bit obsessed with dan.
But yeah still no need to bully the girl.

Ah, I didn't know she ignored him, or said horrible things about him, which isn't cool. And LOL at the photoshopping, that is a bit much!

I do wish at times like these everyone would just think with a cool head though. By attacking the girl they become no better than she is.

Phil was looking stunning yesterday though, so it's her loss to be honest.

okay, if we're all talking about the same girl here which we probably are, none of that is true. i'm her friend, we met because she sold me her spare vip, we spent the whole day together, and i filmed her vip as she did mine. she was super sweet to both of them! she gave them her dissertation research on both of them separately and the effect they have on their fans' mental health. she talked to both of them, hugged both of them, and cropped her pic the way she did to reflect the fact that her and dan's last names are one letter apart and the crop on her insta from tatinof in 2015. i literally don't know where this rumor that she hates phil and was rude to him is coming from.

it's so interesting watching people actually play into the mob mentality that this tour is exploring because holy shit, this is hell.

[so_cheesy]

This is why people hate the phandom lol. So childish. Especially considering the fact that more often than not, lurking phandom members are the ones who crop out other phandom members from m&g pics and keep only Dan and Phil in the photos. Lol

Awww poor thing. Doesn’t surprise me that this fandom can take something like that and make up something else entirely. Seems nobody is safe, not fans and not Marianne lol.

Aww apparently Shitty Watercolour went to see the show too. He tweeted “v good show yes nice ty“

The poor thing is getting so much hate, it's nonsense! EVEN the spanish/latin part of the fandom are writing to her all kinds of bullshit. The smartest thing to do would have been to let her explain herself before jumping into conclusions

The smartest thing would be for everyone to mind their own business. Cropping someone out of a photo isn't doing any harm and she paid for the photo so she can do that, for whatever reason.
Your posts sounds a bit like there's a phandom police going around on Tumblr/Twitter and accusing people of not being fans the "right" way? I really don't like that.

[firsttimeposter]

Louise is keeping the hype up!

Do we know when Louise usually uploads these? Is it Monday?

Also to rewind to earlier talk, do anybody have that picture of their families back when tatinof was happening?

Agreed. Why would she even have to "explain herself" at all, it's just a photo jfc. Tons of other people in the phandom are doing legit weird shit and nobody cares, yet for some reason THIS is problematic? Pff

I'm not saying she's the problematic one or that she has to explain herself. What I tried to say is that instead of assuming that the girl hates Phil, if people really wanted to know why she cropped him out they could just have asked her instead of giving her hate. There's no problem in being curious and wanting to know why someone crops one of them out of a picture, but bullying a person because a tiny thing is. Not everybody has the mentality of letting others mind their own business which is why shit like this happens. All I'm saying is that people could've been nicer and handle this differently.
I'm sorry @LtrllySusan I don't understand what you mean in the last bit of your post, could you please explain?

It wasn't very well worded then

[kindofatrashcan]

OH MY GOD PHIL'S MERCH. i can't put his instagram story here. But OH MY GOD GUYS

[blackdenim]

I was gonna crop Dan out of my M&G photo so I can use it as my Whatsapp profile pic without making it an awkward shape... will the Phandom Police come for me if I do this?

Edit - I voted for the Wingdings merch design because the symbol in the middle looks like '69', obv.

[so_cheesy]

Phil's merch: I want neither lol. Plant boy/"Plant" in Wingdings, with a pic of a plant? Umm

[Speedygonz33]

Phil’s merch seems a little tacky with the plant boy written in big letters on the sleeve

[sonicgreen]

Oh no… Phil's merch… I pray thats a rough draft. The block lettering with the black stroke?? YIKE
edit: i voted wingdings because it looked better than the other font
