The liveshow was so interesting to watch, Dans appearance changed a lot over the course of three years. The fans were very picky than about his appearance even though there were many positive encouraging things I think dan automatically saw the meaner ones cyber hug for dan anyway I found this old picture on my phone and am surprised no one made a big deal about it. It was in a background of a old vlog and it is so precious



Do what you want with it but it really shows that the running joke of them always sneaking off to the corner to be with each other is not really a joke. Hey maybe bros do just stick together in a club filled with other options. Its all a part of their friendship but ..... (I just wanted an excuse to use that)

this one! starting at around 8:27 I put it under a read more because the whole post felt a little long

This community continues to be wild, I'm jumping across topic to topic trying to stay updated while balancing my day-to-day life and it's just a bit too much right now

We've moved on but people poking fun at Phil's hair in the tweet:
I'm dense as heck so I can't tell if people are being sarcastic or not, but I'm 99% sure that's just his hair being weird and not a headband or anything. I have fringe similar to him (#dontjudge) and if I'm not careful, it can look like that. It's basically the under layer of his hair being pushed straight across, and then the upper layer of hair falling over it. Does that make sense? Does it matter?

Overdone topic and sorry if I accidentally start a discussion people are tired of hearing, but I honestly like their haircuts but not always how they style the fringes. More specifically, these days it seems like both of them push their fringe so that it's just like a straight triangle going across their forehead, rather than letting the natural hairs stick out and make their own shape. They do it on purpose, whenever they adjust it you can see them pushing the hairs to make a solid line, but I like it when it looks more natural/has an actual hair shape to it, idk. That's what I do with my hair, at least
they can do what they want tho I'm just rambling

Thanks cherry for the link; I'd never seen the actual video footage before.

But I did see this referenced a lot on tumblr after the Sims video where Dan talked about Dil and Tabitha being "two nerds sat in the corner" during a party.

For example, this tumblr post here.

There are other pictures too, like this one:


And this one:


But your picture trumps the others, kuensukki. Their heads are so close together. Gotta love it!

And I still haven't watched the most recent liveshow either.

Thank you for typing everything up!

I hope he is in a better place regarding his body now.

Feel really bad having brought his weight in the past. He really should not be insecure about his looks at all! He is very handsome imo. Also I think he is sich much more than his looks. Everybody is

I hope he is too. I felt so bad for him when I was watching the liveshow. There's a weird disconnect between how he acts and what he says...like he seems kind of nonchalant, like he doesn't really care what people say about his body, and he finds the mixed messages amusing. But then he just keeps talking about it, insisting that lots of people think he's skinny, that he's lost weight, and complaining about the gif where he looks fat, and, on and and and on. And then when he talked about his existential crisis relapse and throws in at the end "gaining weight"...sigh.

daphenaxa wrote:For the Justin Bieber discussion in the liveshow, I think it is very interesting. Several times, he has showed great empathy and support for young people in the public eye who might have not behaved in the best way possible. (i can think about that vine guy who was/is homophobic). I do think it partly comes from his own experience. He knows it's probably super tough to grow up under such scrutiny that leaves no place for very common mistakes. People like Justin Bieber are indeed sometimes too harshly judged because they are expected to comply to unrealistic standard of "perfection". I don't think Dan really talks about himself but he certainly can relate on a smaller scale I think. And I am also convinced he is actually a very empathetic person in general.
It's funny because he doesn't seem to like people that much and he said he doesn't like to go outside and interact, talk to people. He makes jokes about losing his faith in humanity reading comments and about how "hell is others". But at the same time he does like people in a sense, in the way he refuses to judge too harshly. I can relate to that a lot tbh.

I don't think he was literally talking about himself, but like you say, I think he's drawing on his own experiences. I'm sure he can relate to some of the things he was saying, like:

"I suppose Justin should feel free to define himself; you know, he was pushed by the music industry to become the Justin Bieber he was and now he’s becoming the Justin Bieber he wants to be and are we supposed to judge Justin Bieber for just being who he wants to be?"

I bet he's kind of struggled with balancing who he was with who he wants to be, and dealing with phandom expectations and how to maintain a certain image, etc.

I agree he is quite an empathetic person, in my opinion. I'm like 100% sure a lot of his "ugh humanity lol" shtick is just a mask of sorts.

oh my god you guys, this is the first time since i joined gg that i literally can't keep up with the thread lol

re: that old lily vlog, idk why but when it first came out i was convinced she was gonna take it down to crop them out and reupload it, i mean it's not like they are full on making out and they are very far away, but still the way they are sitting... idk, it's just very telling, the couple vibes are off the charts

fish eye cameras, dan and phil's number one public enemy?, it's hard to keep yourself out of shot when you can't tell you're in it

re: us tour, i can't wait for it to start, all that reminiscing good phandom moments made me wish we had something about their lives to actually talk about, not just videos, sometimes, when they can be arsed to post one

one of the things i'm most looking forward to is to trying to figure out the bus layout, are they gonna sleep in the bunk beds or use the back room as a bedroom? the bunk beds would be the closet appropriate option, but those look very uncomfortable, especially for gigantic humans like them

i mean if i was going on tour with my best friend i would def choose to share a bed w her but then again i am female and not even straight to begin with so what even is my point idk

i also re read the iom thread earlier today because i was bored, it's funny seeing you all be so shocked by d&p being so openly coupley and losing your shit and even thinking they were gonna come out i hope this year brings us some other moments of madness like that

and lastly, oqua, great post if you take note on more liveshows please do share them

Waiting for the day in which they will be outed, not by a person, but by a fish eye camera instead....

going back in the trash

aww i had forgotten about this:



2:25 "I just took off my pants!" hahaha cheeky phil

i'm telling you he's a chicken!!!

I was waiting for it to be cropped too but they don't know lily that well so they couldn't really ask of it. Also the phandom has super eyes and can catch them with only milliseconds of footage! That's why we love them this pic did give me a lot of couple vibes especially how phil is leaning into Dans cheek, almost like a romantic nuzzle .

Ahhh okay I'm sorry phan googles off (oquawe needs phan googles emoji that is like the whole fandom) and cora808 you have forever ruined this picture for me

I laughed so much at this, I have tears in my eyes. Actual little droplets of tears.

Now I can never unsee Dan the Chicken.

I, too laughed so hard I had literal. tears. in. my. eyes.

Dan and Phil, secret chicken people.

Same. I don't think GG ever moved this fast (in recent memory, like since July or something), except maybe the thread right before the shitstorm.

trashqueen wrote:and lastly, oqua, great post if you take note on more liveshows please do share them

I definitely will.

The secret is out. The fish eye lens has revealed all. The information they have been denying, been hiding in that sturdy closet of theirs isn't their undying romantic love for one another. No, the real truth is that Dan is actually a man most fowl.

not terribly excited for us tour stuff either, it's all meh to me at this point. even the cheapest tickets were too much for me for the la area ($50 for the nosebleeds? no thanks)

on the topic of dans weight i think its just one of those things that doesn't bother him much anymore. i'm sure what keeps him up at night isn't necessarily his looks (from the sparsity of mentions) but probably his content (again aggregating from comments). it makes me kind of sad and uncomfortable hearing it but his body has gone through a lot of changes through the years so i can only hope he's doing alright and made peace with it.

regarding the possible justin bieber projection, i think it ties into dan's round-a-bout way of telling us something through something else. his natural sympathy (as someone pointed out) was probably heightened by his internet days, god knows how much he much cringe looking at old comments he'd made online. when you've shoehorned yourself into such a tight spot and censored yourself so much i think it acts as an indirect way of him being authentic to his audience, effectively hiding behind a wall of "well i liked/saw/thought this, here have it and take of it what you will". the human rights speech he mentioned comes to mind through all of this, but standing up for others in the public eye is somewhat in the same strain of "please be forgiving of me"

Totally agree.

oqua wrote: 59:14 - (regarding the possibility that JB started drugs) “God, such an overreaction. It’s not like ‘Justin Bieber found buried up to his neck in cocaine!’ It’s not really the same thing. Although I guess he is sort of a Jesus role-model for 12-year-olds everywhere. So, you know, it depends. Are you judging him like a normal person, or are you judging him for, you know, who he is and where he came from? I suppose Justin should feel free to define himself; you know, he was pushed by the music industry to become the Justin Bieber he was and now he’s becoming the Justin Bieber he wants to be and are we supposed to judge Justin Bieber for just being who he wants to be? You know man, getting deep about Justin Bieber here.” [sometimes Dan goes on these rants and then about halfway through I'm like, wait, is he actually talking about himself??? lol.]

Just wanted to say first that I loved this whole post, can't go back and watch the show/respond to everything now (stupid uni *grumbles*), but I totally know what you mean about the 'is he actually talking about himself' vibes, he does it with Louis Tomlinson too, I think. It was especially apparent in his liveshow after the Louis Tomlinson/Steve Jobs/rainbow Apple shirt thing (embedded under the cut!), with the whole discussion for context from 39:39, or particularly from 40:39 then 41:30 (if you want to skip some management/twitter discussion in the middle), I got some serious 2012 vibes from that! There's a line between being empathetic and just totally projecting, I think, and he does kinda seem to cross it there. Also I will never be over the screenshot from the back of that Lily vlog thank you cora808, akui and spider for making me love it even more!

That's it, get out.
I'm just imagining Dan or Phil stumbling across this forum to find out that we are gossiping about....Dan the secret shadow chicken.

"ohhh Internet"

Seriously though, I'd like to think they'd get a chuckle or three out of it. The entire forum thus far, actually. It's been fairly innocent/innocuous, funny and friendly thus far - long may it last!!!
