I don't think theh will do a ls today, but you have forgot that they are in another country ans now is 4:30 pm there, if they do a ls today at 7 pm it will be 12 am in the UK, and if they do it at 9 pm it will be 2 am UK. So i suppose you will be sleeping... sorry, this American time is not for you

Don't get me started on timezones!

I was just being overly-optimistic, is all. I hope they're having a nice chilled non-internet few days before madness ensues at the end of the week.

Even if they do end up getting married and settling down with a shiba inu in their house with glass walls , as a suffering fangirl I still think I deserve some sort of explanation for what the hell was going in 2012/13, complete with a color-coordinated timeline and maybe an apology from Dan for making me think he was a homophobic douchebag. Not that I'm ever going to get it.

Can I join the therapy session if it turns out that they are or one of them is straight and they are PLATONIC friends? My fangirl heart breaks every time Scott and Mitch (Superfruit) emphasize that they are platonic bffs. I can't afford another heartbreak from . I stopped socializing ever since I found them because I want to watch and read everything about them. They need to explain everything from 2009 (more of Phil coz let us admit we will not believe it if Dan explains it).

Lester's holidays Lester holidays!

I second all of this.

Love this.
I want to join the Lester holiday so bad.

Cornelia is just too cool, and she so pretty she looks like Madonna.

She says "see you later alligator", was she in gatorland?

Y'all want some really random offtopic?

In festive DITL video, at 13:16 onwards, I for a second legit thought Dan was about to break into a vogue. Which would've immediately dragged me into "Dan is not straight" bandwagon because I've literally never seen a straight man vogue. Unfortunately, that didn't come to pass, but the moment was nice.

what does break into a vogue mean?

I'm not targeting you personally here, but I don't quite understand this mentality in the Phandom where people like to argue against the possibility of their relationship solely because 'they are straight' or 'one of them might be straight,' as if one of them coming out automatically means that they have to be dating. Queer people can just be friends and live together, guys. (Not that I think this is the case for Deppy, because I am for life, but y'know. It's not necessarily an either/or situation.)

what does break into a vogue mean?

Vogue is a type of dance move, originating from the gay club scene in the 90's. I think Dan is a bit too young to know how to vogue. While we're on the topic, though, Dan does a lot of things I've never seen a straight man do, like enjoy Free! to the extent that he does.

GLEE. Glee had an episode about Madonna's Vogue so all the kids know it now.

But the real question is does straight men watch glee?

I am a brand spanking new Middle Aged nose pervert in comparison to pretty much everyone here in that I've only been watching Dan and Phil for about a month now (but I feel like now I've watched a lot more vids,and I've read several fan fics, and being the idiot that I am I started with literally the worst one possible ) but when I first messaged the person who fully introduced me to the life of Phan after I'd watched a few videos because I saw their avatar on another GG forum literally one of the first questions I asked was are they a couple because I thought their chemistry was so sweet but so reserved so I couldn't quite work it out.

You poor thing. Some of those shock fics are a bit traumatizing! What did you start with? The Hat fic? Chair fic? Steamrollers & Kittens?
After watching them for a month, have you decided whether they're a couple or not?

The hat fic. It was so vile I was mildly traumatised but then I found a really sweet one where Dan went to the future and was an actor and then woke up in the past again and it was so lovely I decided to try more so I ended up reading an ALS one and cried and now I am scared of what one to read next

I actually still can't work it out, I just know they're very very comfortable with each other but that doesn't necessarily make them a couple. I hope they are though, they're very sweet with each other and their chemistry is undeniable

He really isn't? I am younger than him, plenty of people i know are younger than him and still vogue (and we are all gay lol). Of course, what he is doing there isn't really vogue but just doing standard Madonna popularised head frame thing that everyone knows, but he sure does it with great flourish and the proper expression lol

Found this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jhhd_tEaJEQ- I think that's the type of dance you're speaking of?

Sidenote: Have D+P been friends with Cat since '09? I think I saw that in your post Oqua.

Yes, except that's vogue femme, what Dan could have done was Madonna popularised classic vogue (to go with streetstar vids since they are great quality - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zPEBlV2EUjQ

And if you want a quality vogue femme - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zPEBlV2EUjQ this is a much better performance

Yeah, he's not too young at all. There's a dance duo called ayabambi (aya sato and bambi who are a couple that I believe recently got married as well?) that do a kind of modern version of voguing. (They hold workshops as well which I'm interested in myself.)



Now imagine doing this...
Come on guys, not too late to add a new feature to tatinof before it goes live.

I know which fics you're talking about and I'm still emotionally scarred from both of them

I need a live show or a video or something soon, but at the same time I'm happy that the Lesters are having a nice time. It's also nice to know that they're in a more similar time zone to me. Is that weird? Probably.

Some of the ones in the Phanfic recommendations thread are really good. *nod to alittledizzy*

Cool. FKA Twigs has a video where she plays on voguing (though I never really knew what it was before. It's nearer to the end of the video. I warn you, its a bit creepy at the start. I think Dan said this is one of his fav FKA Twigs songs, so its safe to say that he's seen this video.

YASS AyaBambi!

...well at least we are popularising Vogue here. So, bitch we're Madonnas?

Anyway, I wanted to say that the point is moot that what Dan was doing was the headframe everyone can reference from popular culture (...probably)

The Everglades is about 4 hours away from Gatorland, but those are airboats that they are on, which I've been on before, so they might have drove down. If they are in the Everglades, I'll be sad because they're so close to me and I'll never have a chance to meet them.

Agree

And I think the explanation, as "true" as it can be, will be revealed in a book:

"The amazing Phan IS on fire"
best selling book 2022 (?)

Fair enough, my girlfriend and I are actually hermits who don't have any other gay friends so I probably don't know as much about LGBT stuff as I think I do. Also, I can't dance and I've never watched Glee.

I would buy that book in a heartbeat. No doubt about it.
