Dan & Phil Part 73: my furry bf

[autumnhearth]

@Afunnyworld the winners get notified the day before their show, one party per venue, I don’t think there will be any announcements or lists.

Last two instastories of the day:

Does anyone know what happened to the meet and greet drawings that were supposed to happen for the US shows? Shouldn't someone have spoken up about winning by now? Will the winners be announced or listed at some point? Maybe I just completely misunderstood what it was supposed to be...?

Whoever wins gets emailed the day before the show so someone could have won but we wouldn't know unless they had some sort of social media presence.

I love this. She has provided us with a rare photo of just the two of them holding each other's back. Too bad the lighting is kind of crap.

The Pinof cocktail is so cute, and pretty in pink. Good to hear it’s sweet for Phil and bitter for Dan, wonder how they knew

[Stakhanov]

Bittersweet is the only way I'd drink my cocktail

Russian fans deliver again.

Having a minor freak out because the boys are in my corner of the world

Welcome to Satan’s armpit Deppy. It’s hot, rainy, and gross (yeehaw to any fellow Floribama peeps)

I’m glad they get to experience a true southern flash flood warning hahaha

Bit late but here's my 'review' which is not really a review and more just a collection of thoughts.

I'm not gonna do a full on part by part review because I feel like no one needs that from me, but I will say - I really enjoyed the show. Like honestly, legit had a fantastic time watching them on stage. I think this show is calmed than TATINOF, it is more real than TATINOF, and it is more enjoyable than TATINOF. I also think that was a show for an audience they were still actively pulling in, and this is a show for the audience they already have - which tbh was a smart move. Everything about it feels like it's Dan and Phil jumping into a conversation with people they feel already know them and it does make the show have a bit more of an intimate, close feel. The stage was also more sparse than I expected, and they just did less than I expected physically. I really, really like that. I like that so much of the show isn't moving and staging and pacing, that it's just them talking. The lack of props and their back and forth gives it a nice feel. I didn't hate TATINOF, I just didn't love it.

Stage presence wise, I feel similarly about this as I did TATINOF in that I think Dan looks more physically uncomfortable on stage than Phil. When I look at Dan, what I see is someone who is projecting an exaggerated stage presence. Phil is less exuberant, less precise with every gesture and move, and it comes across as a more natural feel. It's the one part of the show where they just feel like they're coming at it from slightly different angles, but I get why and tbh even that still feels very Dan and Phil. Dan is overthinking; Dan is acting. Phil is obviously saying things at points that are definitely scripted, but he's more self contained and it reads as a bit more graceful and fluid. He is just simply being Phil, talking to a crowd - slight awkwardness and weird gestures as part of the package. He reacts more and overthinks less, but his reactions aren't as exaggerated and therefore still come off as 'quieter' than Dan's responses to things. If you're someone who is drawn towards slightly larger than life personalities, I think you'd find Dan more appealing in this show. If you're someone who wants to feel like they're just watching them as people, I think you'll find Phil more appealing. That said, the moments they shine are still the ones in which they kind of forget the audience and play off each other.

A lot of the jokes that made me wince hearing them over and over again in show audios actually came off a lot better seeing the physical delivery. The atmosphere of just being there seeing them probably helped a lot. And I will still defend cereal and houseplant jokes (not loki. fuck loki. but besides that.) because this is not 2016 Dan wearing a llama suit when llamas hadn't been relevant to him in at least four years. Yeah, both the audience and deps themselves make a lot of jokes about houseplants and cereal - but Phil Lester is genuinely a sugary snack inhaling machine and they do genuinely both have a house full of plants. Phandom will always beat a joke to death, but the ones they're beating now are a reflection of who Dan and Phil are now and I dig that.

The other thing that I definitely already knew but still just truly fucking enjoyed is how queer this show is. I don't mean in the phan sense, but just in how male attraction and male mentions are woven into the show and accepted as absolutely normal and not a point of humor in and of themselves to Dan, Phil, or the audience.

awww i love this!!! this makes me want to go sooo bad now lol. no Canadian dates are anywhere close to me and i'm p sure they're all tbc/sold out.
im glad u enjoyed it!

[lesterchuu]

@ratlad toronto one is definitely sold out, the vancouver one still has some seats tho i believe all the vip are sold out already and the montreal one is still a tbc...but yah it sucks that theyre only going to like three major canadian cities and im lucky that i live in one of them so i was able to grab a seat its just..........ya know, canada. im comparing the prices and i feel like crying cz its so much cheaper everywhere else but vancouver decided to be extra and charge $215 for the vip. i mean it doesnt really matter cz its already sold out by the time i tried to get tickets but still i payed $135.....im fine

(i know theres also conversion rates and whatnot but i was looking at the toronto one and their tickets are cheaper compared to vancouver.............................and now im just whining sorry)

[alittledizzy]

So hotel in Dallas, hotel in Austin... now flying to Florida... yep, those bunk beds are getting a lot of use. Honestly 1-2 nights a week sounds about right for how often I expect they'll actually do bus overnights.

[dancy]

Yeah, I did expect them to fly to places and stay at hotels more often, since they said they didn't want to use the tourbus as much this time around.

They've got one of their few days off, so I hope they'll enjoy themselves and go watch the fireworks. RIP "weekly live shows" June 20th 2018-June 20th 2018 though, it was a nice dream while it lasted Also, I'm wondering when Phil will finally drop his merch and a new video. It's been a month since his last video, which is a longer time than usual. I mean, it's understandable considering how busy they are but I'm curious about those "American-themed" videos he had in mind.

[ratlad]

they used all the wifi data on the bus so what's the point in using the bus at all anymore tbh

[obvsly]

I've been for 5 minutes straight. Oh poor Seth....

[alittledizzy]

So according to fan sightings they flew in today, ate at Denny's, and watched fireworks on the beach. I feel like in an hour or two we might get some beachy firework-y instagram stories. And if not, I definitely pout, because I want beach-y firework instagram stories.

just saw the tweet in question and im having happy tears...honestly, id be perfectly happy even without them capturing it in an insta story, im already happy knowing that theyre enjoying it together and having their "together" time. heck who am i kidding, id probably die if they did one of their "he thinks the view is pretty, but i think hes prettier" boyfriend pics but its ok im ok

[knq]

@alittledizzy ask and you shall receive! A crew member posted a pic from a beach earlier. If their team is all back together and watching the fireworks on the beach that feels very sweet.

Not sure how to interpret Seth’s tweet, especially as I don’t know of him. How did he get from blatant innuendo/flirting to excessive dot dot doting in that exchange?

[alittledizzy]

[wiccamoody]

They've been so matchy this year ahh (and Dan's little explanation at the bottom. I'm soft)

[greenergrass]

Okay that picture is disgustingly cute and they are disgustingly cute wearing coordinated 4th of july outfits

[rizzo]

No, you're emotional over these two idiots sharing their love and adventures with us.

[hello9217]

Phil holding their shared towel that they sat on I'm fine I promise

[ratlad]

oh what the fuck is all of this.............. SITTING on a tiny beach towel together?? AT THE BEACH??? then had the NERVE to post a selfie and caption it "stripes and stars" ??? JUST LETTING US KNOW THEY'RE FUCKING COORDINATING??? and they DARINGLY went to Denny's together beforehand and then HAD THE AUDACITY to watch FIREWORKS????

[lesterchuu]

who needs working instagram notifications when everyone just spams it all over your other social media accounts amirite?

seriously tho..........my heart just cannot take this right now like holy shit i took three days off from work because of a couple nasty high fevers and strep throat and thought id be basically quarantined to death in my own home but nooo deppy decides to bless us with this couples aesthetic like what the fuck how dare they turn me into an emotional mess i feel so attacked by that selfie

also im cracking up because theres two types of people:

oh what the fuck is all of this.............. SITTING on a tiny beach towel together?? AT THE BEACH??? then had the NERVE to post a selfie and caption it "stripes and stars" ??? JUST LETTING US KNOW THEY'RE FUCKING COORDINATING??? and they DARINGLY went to Denny's together beforehand and then HAD THE AUDACITY to watch FIREWORKS????

No, you're emotional over these two idiots sharing their love and adventures with us.

and honestly im a mix of both
