Ohh wow, I am way too emotional about this! Procrastinating on exams with D&P vids and TATINOF clips/audio yesterday left me overly emotional about them, I was not prepared for this to be almost the first thing I saw after waking up! Dan looks especially gorgeous, and the Comic Sans/Papyrus thing is hilarious too Agree that the Comic Sans/Papyrus thing being in parenthesis on instagram makes it seem like the additional reference, I definitely didn't notice that at first.

eta: and of course my hideous, pointless sap gets top of the page

^^^^ Thank you sleuths IckleMissMayhem and confusedpanda! I was beginning to think I'd stumbled on an EVP and realized I've probably been watching too many Ghost Adventures

I'd say it's just the angle because I doubt Dan is as tall as Leo? Although more prove that Phil is shorter than Dan.

so how tall is Leo? sorry, i'm mildly obsessed with the height thing.

i didn't realise Dan had edited his comment on the signs. what is most interesting to me is, whether he got the references immediately or not, he was bothered enough at the idea of his fans thinking he didn't get the Pinof one in particular that he altered his words to clear it up. this can be compared to instances where both of them could have over other things, but didn't...

I missed the bus discussion but it's good to see people thinking about their morals and boundaries. it's a tricky area with a lot of grey, but any discussion is great to see.

loving the detailed reviews in the special Tabinof section. such a great idea. and thanks to those sitting down to write them! i'd love to know how they themselves are feeling about the shows and meet & greets so far. a surface impression i get is that they're more confident than UK?

omg no forget all that, the most exciting development is the re-appeareance of Mole. can't go back further than 2 pages bc of current phone reception to see if it's been discussed or not...

6'6'', supposedly (201cm?)

Seriously, someone going to a M&G please. Tape measure.

Bonus points if you get it filmed, or are all deadpan serious "Right you two. Backs against the wall. NOW!"

this was my thought too. it's one of those quotes the phandom loves but the recognition comes from rewatching videos and remixes and tumblr posts over and over so he probably just didn't notice it right away (since it is also a pretty generic line out of context).

either way it wasn't a disappointment or mood killer, it's still a cute af acknowledgement, but it was a moment when I kinda remembered that they're just normal guys that might not notice things as quickly as their fans.

If it hadn't become such a thing in the phandom I would not have been surprised if they hadn't recognised it at all, because of the reasons you guys are saying. But knowing how much they stalk their fans on tumblr and twitter and how 'in' they are with the phandom jokes, I think they probably did recognise the PINOF reference when they saw it and it was the Undertale reference Dan didn't get straight away.

madmadmad Yep its in every phanmeme, phanvideo, phanart, you name it. They remembered it at first glance, just like Phil remember to take down every single released voldyvid

Anyway, I think should own that phrase and be proud of it; to me its not even romantic but it was the start of the great bond which should be treasured.

I mean, they've never 100% confirmed, but I'd say it's pretty likely.

I can really count on you to pull me back to reality whenever I start to fangirl and float away. I agree with you. This quote might even mean nothing to them. BUT they feel compelled to like it TOO because the viewers are so invested on it. For sure, they've seen the gifs. But since there was no meaning on their part, they didn't notice it immediately. And when they saw the reaction of the people, Dan changed the caption to include the two references. (am I being harsh?) Just like your previous post about Dan's music taste. He definitely has other favorite bands but the fans are more invested on him liking Muse because it's 's band. (I hope I made the connection.)

I mean, is it even a question? They knew what "this was the most fun we've ever had" meant. They had to have. They know their iconic phrases. Just crack open your TABINOF, it's all over the collages, and I'm pretty sure Mr. & Mr. Control Freak wouldn't put anything they didn't know the meaning of in. Also, why would Dan almost cry (or so are people reporting) otherwise?

Logged into idb thinking "what lie did Dan and Phil tell today?"

I don't think Dan didn't know that's pinof1, pinof1 is more of a famous reference in phandom than undertale.

Awww so sweet

Is anyone really surprised about hanging out with yet another power couple? Very cute.

Great username by the way.

Love this! Just too cute.

I'm on team Dan got the pinof1 reference.

I'm like 28,5% awwing and 71,5% cringing at this. I might be heartless, that's okay. But the Comic Sans and Papyrus reference is strange imo. It makes me kind of I'm glad aprecciated the audience, though, that's really sweet.

This is the most adorable thing, must have taken some organisation to get a crowd that size all holding them.

I think this deserves sharing on the main thread, not just on the Clearwater thread (from the M&G, no TATINOF spoilers, honest!)

I'm taking the stand he was answering to the multiple references, as to not make it as if Dan spoilt the whole euphoria

I lied, I do have one thing to add: the way Dan wrote 'even written in Comic Sans and Papyrus' in parenthesis at the end of his caption indicates to me that he thought that was an extra reference, not the actual main one.

I don't think the "even" necessarily indicates him realizing that there were multiple references but rather him thinking that the fan project itself was nice and it was great that they even (additionally) made a reference. The fact that he mentioned Comic Sans and Papyrus shows he got the Undertale reference and I don't understand why he would make a Facebook post "oh there is another reference" if he had gotten the PINOF reference immediately.

I'm definitely stanning the right people.

Leo's comment on this is: ''Happy birthday to the one and only @thomassanders! I cried picking out these pics oh,the good ole days. Happy birthday love,'' and someone commented underneath ''True friendship!'' I don't know whether to laugh or cry. Straight people are wild.

And this is the second time I have cried today because of Dan and Phil.

But then again I am a bit stressed out.

Why do they have to be so precious?
