Dan & Phil Part 45: R.I.P danisnotonfire 2009-2017

[captainspacecoat]

I just wanted to clarify in my comment that I wasn't attacking Hazel. I know it's not just me you're talking about, but I got the joke, and she just rubs me the wrong way. I don't want people to think I'm attacking her.

It's okay, I didn't think you were attacking her - don't feel bad! (She rubs me the wrong way too, don't worry.) I was just clarifying in a general sense that I don't condone uncalled for attacks against her in case anyone thought that was my intention with my original post

Miles is their newly adopted baby, and the reason they moved to a new apartment, and nothing can convince me otherwise

this is the only explanation tbh

(also sorry for such a useless post being top of the page)

[obliviongrace]

I wonder if maybe they have some unknown friends in Orlando, and that's their baby? Although, if it's not a YouTube baby, I'm a little surprised at Phil posting the baby's name.

Are DnP doing anything today for Playlist? Or are all their appearances/activities over?

Maybe the parents just really wanted that page for the baby book.

"May 6 - Today miles got his first 297,000 likes on Instagram!"

I'm really surprised that no one seems to know whose baby it is.

So this seems the only logical explanation.

For anyone who wasn't able to watch the livestream, and only relied on Phanshows, you can see some of the Deppy answers that weren't included there here:

So this seems the only logical explanation.

Especially cause, in the video above, when the girl and Julien were saying something about them being parents without kids (that were there with them), Phil said "me too". :wtf:

Okay, so he may have been joking, but honestly, this lines up way too well with the evidence we have here. not to mention that telling the truth in jest is kind of their MO.

So, yeah, I think Miles is their baby. And, until I get evidence that proves otherwise, I will stick to this theory

[allsaintshowell]

i live for the way they ignore that fan and just zoom off as fast as their golf cart will take them. zoom zoom gotta go fast

[/fɪl lɛstɚ/]

That video does not look like anything incriminating. It just looks like an annoying fan being annoying.

Also I need to tell y'all that there are already phanfics in which Miles is deppy's baby and as cute as the idea is that doesn't sit well with me for some reason. Like... Miles is an actual human baby whose parents (whoever they may be) probably don't want fanfiction written about him?? He's a real person?????

I wish I could unhear that clip ._.
I think I saw baby Miles in a YouTube couple's vlog from last year at Playlist, and they gave the baby to Louise while D&P were in the background, but I can't for the life of me remember what the couple's names were, or if that baby was even the same baby. Plus babies grow and probably wouldn't still look like a baby after a year.

I suppose D&P could still be Miles's adopted parents

Edit: nvm, found it, was Playlist 2014, back to speculating.

The baby Phil is holding is pretty young I reckon...maybe 3-4 months.

Are D&P doing anything at Playlist today? Couldn't see anything on the schedule.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure Miles the baby is under a year old. I don't follow youtube family vloggers, so I guess he could belong to one of them?

Or he belongs to a behind the scenes person, like a manager maybe?

Or, he's from a family friend of Phil's from all their years vacationing in Florida?

Or that week in march was really crazy, their house buying attempt fell through so they were forced to rent again and they learned they were getting a baby. Australia and Singapore were their last hurrah before they settled down into parenthood.

But seriously, that is an adorable photo. I doubt they'd share photos of an actual child of theirs, but it would be the greatest. #getadogandababy

All babies are basically the same until they turn into actual (still annoying) young people, I don't think writing about a fictional baby and giving it the name Miles based on this is going to keep anybody involved up at night lol, if anything it's just funny.

Anyway I respect the headcannon of this being their baby until proven otherwise but personally, until proven otherwise, my take is they kidnapped it because hey their new flat may not allow dogs, but nobody said anything about babies. So it's their stand-in pet until they move again. (Is that more objectionable than the other fanfic, whoops). They'll regret it pretty quick and ship it back to his parents before charges are brought though, so it's all fine.

Headcanon: deppy have been mastermind criminals this entire time, getting hoards of people to trust them until they can strike and steal a baby for ransom money (and for cuddles and selfie opportunities)

Holy shit his entire family is in on it too and that's why their holidays always overlap with Playlist, they've just been playing the long game waiting for the perfect opportunity
I for one am shocked and appalled... Um... I'm still going to watch at least the gaming channel tho, we've all got problematic favs I mean what's a bit of baby-snatching in the grand scheme of things nobody's perfect guys.

you never know...maybe the baby wandered into their hotel room, and their first instinct was like that of Dan with the neighbor's dog- "hey, it's pretty cute, I'm just gonna keep it here for a bit to keep me company" ....

They're rich enough to buy a baby legally, so I don't think this theory has any merit.

Plus, they don't seem like the type to break the law. So, I think the kidnapping scenario isn't that likely.

But maybe they want to avoid the paper trail of legal adoption. They're seeding it now so that when the legal adoption papers (that they buy, bc they're rich enough to buy legal papers and cover up the kidnapping) come and they announce the adoption we aren't surprised.

Plus, Dan is afraid of commitment, he might want a trial baby before a permanent one.

You make good points, but honestly, I don't think dan's afraid enough of commitments to have a trial baby. I think he'd get too attached to the baby and he knows that

[fancybum]

Hm dizzy's making some good points but maybe it just comes down to money: they're only rich enough rn to buy a house or a baby. And the house is first priority obvs. I think Aurdie could be onto something, the baby just wandered in and they thought 'hey, free baby' in which case they weren't intending to break the law, it just sort of happened. We've all been there.

hmm, but maybe this is why they chose to rent the house? because they don't have enough money to buy one, but they need to care for a new baby. So, I think it's clear that they chose baby in this situation.

[fancybum]

I don't think that's clear at all jhamba, they could easily be renting the baby as well. 'Not a forever home' to go along with their 'not a forever baby'. Or maybe they're on a rent-to-own plan, we just can't know.

[VengefulBlue]

i love you all so much rn

yeah, that makes sense, but I'm kind of old fashioned. These newfangled rented babies make me very uncomfortable, and I don't like the idea of dan and phil renting a baby. To each their own, I guess

[Ilovethemohyesido]

Are they still in Florida?

[autumnhearth]

You all are hilarious. (Making me question my sense of humor a bit, but it just keeps getting better). I like the wandering puppy theory the best, except I doubt the baby can crawl yet. I did see a fanfic on Tumblr and was a bit horrified, as the writer killed off baby Miles' parents (albeit before the story began). D&P were the godparents and got custody. I couldn't read the rest, because that is actually someone's baby.

I think I have my husband almost fully converted now, he asked about D&P's popularity on his D&D forum. Got some good responses too. We all watched the making of TATINOF documentary together last night, before my YouTubeRed trial was up, he enjoyed it, though he had no desire to watch the actual stage show. Too campy/fanservicey. He's also begun to offer his own speculation on details of their relationship...

I hope they are having a great time in Florida. I guess we will find out on Tuesday whether Dan is staying for the Lester family vacation. I hope he does, as I don't like to think about lonely Dan.
