Oh wow I hadn't even looked at those yet. Stan Twitter is so annoyingknq wrote: Mon Aug 26, 2019 1:07 amI was wondering whether all the unrelated tweets about not being famous anymore, flopping, etc because a notification (apparently) didn’t go out would be annoying to him. Looks like a solid ‘yep.’
Beans = the new spoons
do people have any effing sense in this phandom (no, or I’d find something better to do ) I love Leslie’s reply that telling them kindly with sass is a parent move, dad Dan rises 
I’m a bit miffed too that I’ve been so inactive in GW2 that I completely missed that event, there’s been a festival of the wind thing recently I think, maybe it was about that just saw it was a raid, too much for me anyway, but the festival is fun.dontpanic wrote: Sun Aug 25, 2019 10:42 pmtbh I think it's because we very likely could have never found out about it? it's only because the streamer noticed who he was and tweeted... meaning Dan probably does this more often than we knowAtaraxia25 wrote: Sun Aug 25, 2019 7:04 pm Honestly the fact that Dan donated money that will go to lgbtq+ charities really touched me. It's not the first time they donated money but it's the first time i'm THAT emo bc of it.
I love him so much.
I definitely see where you’re coming from comparing them to DnP, especially with the editing style and mentions of dabbing. I wouldn’t doubt that DnP currently feel that way about their fame. I think they love being able to have a positive influence on their fans but that they don’t particularly enjoy some of the other things that come with being famous. But I just can’t see them doing anything else. It just seems like their careers have played out in such a way that was meant for them, like fate or something. Even though I don’t necessarily believe in fate.Megancita75 wrote: Mon Aug 26, 2019 1:58 pm Hank Green uploaded a Q&A with John Green to his side channel recently, and their dynamic really reminds of DnP, both in how they make each other laugh and in the contrast between their personalities; but what I really found interesting is that they both said they are happy being less Internet famous now and that they would both tell their 18 y/o selves not be famous. I wonder if DnP will feel the same way in 10 years.
I agree... I’ve had similar thoughts to that effect. His likes (even before coming out) are mostly a celebration of queer culture (and all the diversity therein), but never really cross into “thirst” category. You mention Shawn Mendes which is funny because when the mytruth mycalvins campaign came out and Shawn got the lion share of the attention, Dan actually liked Kevin Abstract’s post acknowledging his (much smaller) role instead.stufflizloves wrote: Mon Aug 26, 2019 1:02 pm Is it odd that I get warm fuzzies from seeing Dan like Sam Smith’s speedo selfies? Linked below (but I don’t know how to properly link it so that dan’s little face shows up, saying he liked it):
I think mostly it makes me happy that he seems to be intentional on how he navigates the wife, diverse queer world (ie, stanning ContraPoints/Natalie Wynn, supporting furry gamers.) Basically, I just think it’s refreshing to see someone with a platform that isn’t nonstop drooling over Shawn Mendes.
Hmm, can only answer for myself.. but the line I see is including Dan (tagging him) on the discussion and replying publicly to something Dan seems to enjoy as escapism from his public "job."LtrllySusan wrote: Mon Aug 26, 2019 6:51 pm I don't know what kind of Twitter drama was up with Dan tweeting that guy about Guild Wars, but how is it invasive to talk about that but not about his likes?
Yeah I definitely think its about replying (and then "mentioning" whoever dan was tweeting at first) that he could find kind of embarrassing (if thats the right word?), like when he used to recommend something in a liveshow and people would flood the comments with "dan sent me here XD"stufflizloves wrote: Mon Aug 26, 2019 6:58 pmHmm, can only answer for myself.. but the line I see is including Dan (tagging him) on the discussion and replying publicly to something Dan seems to enjoy as escapism from his public "job."LtrllySusan wrote: Mon Aug 26, 2019 6:51 pm I don't know what kind of Twitter drama was up with Dan tweeting that guy about Guild Wars, but how is it invasive to talk about that but not about his likes?
Discussing his (public) social media likes on a forum intended for phandom (not for the creators) does not seem invasive to me.
The issue with the tweet was that people weren’t responding or interacting with it in any way that was even a little bit relevant to what it was about or had anything to do withLtrllySusan wrote: Mon Aug 26, 2019 6:51 pm I don't know what kind of Twitter drama was up with Dan tweeting that guy about Guild Wars, but how is it invasive to talk about that but not about his likes?
I have an optimistic theory and a pessimistic theory- either Phil is going to make a video about the fish adoption (dare we hope even ft. Dan) or someone else adopted the fish and they’re back to square one.alittledizzy wrote: Tue Aug 27, 2019 3:45 am The fact that we're getting no more fish updates yet makes me wonder if they really are doing the six week nitrogen cycle.
I mean, Dan mentioned doing research about the nitrogen cycle and Phil said the fish would move in when the water's ready (which is what the cycle is for, to provide a healthy environment for the fish to live in) so that's the only thing that would make sense to me. However I do believe the duration of the cycle varies, so it could take a couple of weeks less or more than 6 weeks.alittledizzy wrote: Tue Aug 27, 2019 3:45 am The fact that we're getting no more fish updates yet makes me wonder if they really are doing the six week nitrogen cycle.
if someone else did end up getting their fish, i don't think it renders fish adoption moot, i think they may just pick a different fish? i mean, i don't know about in the UK, but in the US, you can buy a beta for under $10. i know they're adopting the specific one they picked, but if it doesn't work out, maybe they'll just buy it. i don't think there is anything particular wrong with buying fish in the way that there is when buying a dog or cat.Susanisnotafish wrote: Tue Aug 27, 2019 4:41 amI have an optimistic theory and a pessimistic theory- either Phil is going to make a video about the fish adoption (dare we hope even ft.

I hope for the sake of our thread name it’s the former.
I’m imagining the pupper on the couch at the therapist “I know my daddies always wanted a corgi, and even though they shower me with affections and treats and walkies, I always felt they wish they had a more instagrammable doggo.”rizzo wrote: Tue Aug 27, 2019 1:53 pm Honestly... At this point it's gonna be so awkward if/when Dan and Phil get a dog and it's not a corgi.
Poor pupper will always feel like a second choice.
Why am I just imagining the dog sending in an email to Internet Support Group now?plinthofmylife wrote: Tue Aug 27, 2019 1:59 pm I am laughing at how much Phil had to lean down to reach the mic she was holding OVER her head.
