I feel like this could apply pretty generally to a lot of phandom things even down to the basic concept of believing they're together. You don't quite believe how legit it is until you see it for yourself. But welcome to the phandom, where we don't need to make up the romantic/dependent behavior, Dan and Phil actually do it for us.

That being said, the answer to your question is that yes, they rarely leave the house without one another unless one is away for family and/or work purposes (both of which they've also definitely done together anyway). That or they're running a quick errand/buying a treat, in which case they get one for their other half. It's cute. And gross. And very real.

thanks, i'm already rather comfortable in my phandom sofa crease. that's.......really cute and disgusting. one of the reasons why i decided i'm is precisely because of that, and the history, you know? like, i'm always hesitant to say that they sound like a fanfic because it seems one-dimensional and they're not fictional characters, but their story just seems so...ridiculous and over-the-top and trope-y and so utterly lovely and warm and achy. there's a reason why meet-cutes, long-distance relationships, friends to lovers, etc., etc., are so popular. art imitates life and all that jazz. honestly? i thought shippers were just shipping again but then dig a little deeper and wow. goosebumps.

anyway, enough . i'll just be here, staying hydrated

woooooow top of the page? i feel both apprehensive and proud. it's like a rite of passage here.

Agreed. This was my experience, anyway, although I'm a few years younger than Phil. It makes me wonder how his friends reacted to that part of the game. He could've still played it off as a "lol, GAY" joke but I think most guys that age would of made the interaction about a mff threesome in the first place. It just seems like an easier joke that's not as likely to provoke teasing, so I think it's interesting that he didn't do that.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that maybe some of his friends he made the game to play with were lgbt as well, and maybe he added that with them in mind.

This is so interesting, because, the very reason I (and I'd imagine many others) didn't know what the fuck to believe in the beginning (this was the time Dan and Phil insisted they met through a mutual friend, you newbies have no idea how good you have it) was because the story that made the most sense was just so unbelievable, and like fanfiction. It definitely came off as something someone would read in a fanfiction.

Their story probably has nuances and stuff we don't know about, but the things we do know just sound so unbelievable? This was something that seriously made me doubt phan in the beginning, and also question everything (the gaslightling was so real)

Because I am bisexual, I will chime in whenever someone says something that could possibly be bi erasure or could possibly mean that someone is bisexual. I just need to clarify that bisexuality is real and I get excited when other people are bi, sorry not sorry. Not saying you were trying to erase bisexuality, uglyamerican, I'd like to believe that wasn't your intention, but I am just very sensitive when it comes to this topic because bi erasure is a real thing I have to deal with all the time

Nope, I wasn't trying to "erase" bisexuality at all. It certainly exists in the spectrum of human sexuality, and furthermore imo it is as legitimate as exclusively hetero- or homosexual relationships. I just don't read anything into the MMF vs. MFF threesome choice in this game. From my experience I have seen both, and it wasn't necessarily indicative of later sexual preferences. I can see teen boys loudly expressing a preference for a MFF fantasy to their peers, while quietly exploring a MMF experience with trusted friend.

yeah, i'm incredibly grateful that newbies like me already have bulleted AND analysed summaries of every activity, eye contact, word from deppy but also kind of sad that i missed such a clusterfuck series of events (but also really not because i am weak against any sort of pain).

idk about the fan fiction thing, i'd imagine it's different for each person, of course, but for me, i read and write fic and have done for the past decade and that definitely affects how i see and perceive things, if that makes sense: it seems so impossible that it can only happen in a fanfic but also not, because fanfic tropes is a part of how i think :wtf: . i rarely follow rps though, because mostly it's purely shippy and queerbaiting (pls don't open this particular can of worms again, just literally mentioning it in passing), but it's like, this is so incredible that they actually do this/went through this, no way can it be real, wishful thinking, blah, blah I MUST GO DEEPER, and make up my mind if there's substance to find.

Just to bring it back to your specific question, Phil himself answers it definitively (in the affirmative):

At 2:45

Nothing to add to your discussion, but I'm just so happy that it's already 11 PM here in PH, and we're still here on IDB instead of getting some rest (Also, this is the first time I followed an RPF...) Oh! And trust me that you still haven't found everything that you thought you would ever find I'm in the Phandom for about 5-7 months now, and still, I have a lot to uncover, so... good luck with that

I mean, it's not surprising to know that they don't leave the house without the other (most of the time), but I think that leaving the house with Dan is the most sensible thing to pick in this case? Not an attack or anything...

[offtopic]Yup 11 pm here in the Philippines and we're still on IDB.

I'll probably sleep for a while then wake up in time for Dan's LS. the good thing about having my classes during the night is I'm mostly awake at times the other side of the world's awake, but it does make me a less productive citizen. Woot.[/offtopic]

[offtopic]Wow. What time is Dan's LS again? Once, i stayed up late that it's already 4 AM and caught Phil live lol. My head is literally hurting by that time, so I actually need some rest... I actually wanna watch their LS, but... it's too much of a hassle My sched has been changed from afternoon classes to morning classes, so... [/offtopic]

[offtopic]it's so hard to live literally in the opposite timezones of the ones you follow because you either have to not sleep at all or just resign yourself to reading about things that happened whilst you were asleep. also yeah, definitely late here, so glad to find other Phil-ipinos on this site, awesome. i just about screamed when i saw that tweet about us for the first time. luckily for the next two weeks i'll be awake until early morning so i can follow deppy in real time, more or less.

woke up at 4am for phil's live show and couldn't get back to sleep because i was too excited. felt like more like a proper fan, somehow.[/offtopic]

callmeayana jhamba the other rps i follow are j2 (controversial, that) and ziam (also controversial) so yeah, i guess, despite missing most of deppy drama, i'm more or less well-versed in what goes on with closeted relationships. i should have mentioned that, too, but my first reaction was definitely the fanfic-like part of it and it was only when i looked deeper that i was able to use my "experience".

off to sleep. i'll be eagerly waiting for time stamps of dan's ls (which, tbh, i also thought was an exaggeration with the whole 'me and phil, we, us, phil, phil' joke until i found fancybum's ls mention counter

I think I'm judging you more for keeping up with j2 bc it's so irrelevant now. Also, with that background, I can see why deppy seem so different to you than other rps. it's really not much of a reach to believe they're canon after those ships (although, I totally think jensen ackles is bi, and had a fling with misha collins and his wife)

I'm excited about the joint live show. Am wondering if they are going to announce anything on Thursday.

date night tonight?
also yeah, I kind of have the feeling that they're up to something, so them having a liveshow on thursday together to announce it probably makes more sense, also considering their Australia thing is just around the corner, maybe they'll announce something soon to kick it off??

SquishPhan wrote: Am wondering if they are going to announce anything on Thursday.

Yeah that was my immediate thought too!
I'm a bit bummed because I could use the distraction but allright, I'll do the studying I should be doing then

Ah oh well. Now I'm hyped for the joint liveshow though

SquishPhan wrote: I'm excited about the joint live show. Am wondering if they are going to announce anything on Thursday.

Nooooooo but also yaaaaay because I love joint liveshows. But I also had nothing to do this afternoon and will be busy Thursday and then forever after that, so boo. I also feel like it's an announcement of something because otherwise he'd just pop in to Phil's like last time, rather than explicitly say it's a full-on joint liveshow... right? But I'm just guessing it'll be the pastel merch to keep my imagination in check. Or the winner of that little plushie competition thing. Nothing too 'giant new project'-y just yet. maybe.

I really want it to be pastel merch announcement but announcing a new project will be cool too.

watch they don't announce anything and dan is just busy today

Judging by their gaming channel scheduling lately, I'm wondering if they're filming/editing that one hour long horse prince final tonight so it can go up sometime tomorrow? I feel like that the secret project they're probably working on is way too early to announce anything yet (I keep thinking about that august comment dan gave a few weeks..), so probably not that. And the dan and Phil plushies competition is opened for a few weeks I thought?
I was looking forward to Dan's live show but now I'm even more excited for a joined live show!!

They might have news but another reason why they often do a joint liveshow is when one of them is going to miss a few of their own in a row so it could just be that Dan knows he can't make next Tuesday too.

[offtopic]P.s. Callmeayana and houseplant since Daylight Savings went back already, Phil's liveshows would be 3 am for us and Dan's would be at 4 am. [/offtopic]

Lol. Woke up at 3:30 am to be able to watch a supposed 4 am liveshow, but then Dan won't be on. Really hyped for a joint LS this Thursday though. This really makes me very curious as to what Dan's busy for tonight.

I'm just scared that maybe we're overhyping that it's a secret project. Couldn't the secret project be the 7SC challenge app reboot? They've been asking for challenges yesterday and they mentioned it on the previous liveshows. It's a project but then it's not secret.

Man, I'm only gonna be able to see the end of the joint liveshow.

I also find it strange they cancelled two liveshows in a row....

On another note the more I think about it the more I think it truly may just be the 7SC reboot . Need to remind myself to lower my expectations

I don't know if anyone already mentioned it but Felix uploaded a really long interview a few days ago where he talks about lots of stuff, and I found some of the stuff he said about his relationship with Marzia really interesting, especially because of some possible similarities with deppy's relationship and more specifically an argument in favour of voldy's veracity:

https://youtu.be/D_c4uruJV2U

It's around the 11 minute mark. He basically said that he used to sent her videos of him and that he uploaded those on his channel as private videos, and also that he used to spend time making those videos as if they were normal videos on his channel so they weren't just quick messages. He even says that some of those videos are still privated on his channel, which he comments that it's dangerous.

Even though it doesn't prove that voldy was real at all, it actually proves that youtubers used to sent private videos on their channels to loved ones, which is something that I've seen some people completely dismiss as something that "noone would do since it is stupid and dangerous" while discussing voldy. So at least we can now agree that it wasn't uncommon at all for youtubers to do such a thing in those days, which in the end serves as just another argument in favour of voldy's veracity.

that and the fact that everything in it can be and has been verified by people much smarter than me
