But the selfie....wow I woke up this morning to find my tumblr dash in tears, and it took me a while to find the source. He looks so confident in that picture, which I think is my favorite thing about it. His smug grin makes me sort of uncomfortable though.

I can't even watch any of those videos through to the end without cringing. Girls screaming them to suck on it just feels like I'm watching them perform some pornographic act, it feels awfully like the ending scene of Requiem for a Dream. These girls are screaming in joy for them to suck on it. What the fuck is this this shit? If these were guys screaming at girls, people would feel a lot different. Sure, the action wasn't meant to be sexual, but 14 years screaming at them to "suck hard on it" particular at Dan, makes me sick. Jesus Christ, they're human beings, this is the kind of shit that makes me want to leave the phandom.

I agree! But I think the content was their choice. Not that immature people wouldn't sexualize anything they did. And it's the worst doing it to their faces. I still would've preferred a Q & A or something like DAPGOOSE.

Aw that little snippet of Dan dropping his smile before immediately putting it back on again... me in every social situation. My face gets so tired from smiling.
Jesus, the M&G is so quickfire, I hope they don't do that non-stop for the whole however-long they meet the fans

Oh, I didn't notice that at first, that's.. something. If they are ready to put Dan with curly hair on tshirts, maybe Phil in glasses as well? I don't care about the merch, but it would be nice if they kept those looks permanently/made them as trademark as their fringes were.
I like Dan's experiments with style and that he and Phil colour-coordinate their outfits at events so often that it's not even exciting for us anymore.

I don't think they care all that much, if at all. They're constantly sexualizing stuff in their videos. Besides, they know their fans. They knew if they were sucking on something, it would rile their fans up.

Nope my favourite season is 6 too, what's not to love about Willow becoming totally evil and wanting to destroy everyone because the love of her life leaves. (Someone make a Buffy thread because it's my second favourite thing to discuss after Dan and Phil).

Loving all the m&g photos from today, it's great when they are in a time zone ahead as I go to sleep and wake up to the delights of a Dan selfie where he is looking particularly handsome. More of this thanks!
I made a Buffy thread: http://indepthbants.com/topic811.html

I agree with everyone that it is marvelous to wake up to all the photos, from cute M&G pics to Dan selfies.

Would almost be worth it even if it were accompanied by another content drought :gg: . (I came into the Phandom at the beginning of the US tour, so "content drought" will always be the normal state for me .)

All I can say about Dan right now is that I'm shook. He's so unbelievable handsome what the heck
I loved that selfie so much that I showed it to my boyfriend... Probably not the best idea.

didn't phil say in a semi-recent liveshow that he's thinking about laser eye surgery and when the chat said they were upset because hey love his glasses he said something along the lines of how it's his life or whatever and he thinks it would be easier. in which case i doubt he'd make the glasses part of his branding like they seem to have done with dan's curls

Amplify had such an enthusiastic crowd! I thought I'd spend a few minutes scrolling through @meetingphan on Twitter, but there were over 125 posts! Perhaps not the best use of my time, yet oddly satisfying nonetheless.

You’re right, glasses were wishful thinking on my part. Still, I didn’t see Dan making his new hairstyle part of the brand, thought he was just experimenting. If he decides to, good for them.

Shamelessly keeping Dan's selfie open in a tab while studying for my exams. It's such a look, I just can't get enough of it.

A useless analysis (aka procrastination at its finest)... It's already over 485k likes and it's only been 15 hours. Only 25k more likes to be in his top 5 and 70k to be his most liked photo. If it continues to go up by around 150 likes per minute, it should make it in less than 3 and 8 hours, respectively.

Hope nobody minds me sharing my own m&g selfie with the boys!!! I'm a little disappointed in myself for not thinking quick enough and asking for us to do a cool pose, but I also get to live with the fact that Dan has held my phone!! He complimented my Cole Sprouse lockscreen!!

The line for the m&g was in a hallway, but the actual thing took place on a balcony with natural lighting!!

For instagram, you only need the last part of the url, BS5ZvI-j6mj in this case.

There's a handy guide in the forum FAQs.

if you get past the overexcited fan, i think this is an interesting glimpse of their interactions in a m&g.

Without meaning to sound like a bitch but is that girl serious during her m&g, I can't tell, her reactions seem like she was being a bit of a troll? Lol to her telling Dan he said the same thing last time haha don't people realise he says the same thing to pretty much everyone.

She did seem a bit over the top, but I thought that was par for the course for M&Gs.

On a re-listen, I think the "again" part was Dan saying, "Shall we attempt the rare iPad selfie?" Which would be a bit more unusual than "I like your hair"; I expect iPads are fairly rare for selfie-taking at the M&G. (And if it was a iPad, then lol for Dan handling it like it was a phone.)

This is such a lovely photo, you all look beautiful!! I think Phil looks so lovely here Congrats on meeting them!!

I'm loving all the meet and greet pics, although I really can't bring myself to watch any of the videos. I don't know why, I'm just so terrified of getting secondhand embarrassment, I prefer to pretend they don't exist haha.

Also agree with 000dia000, I would feel uncomfortable if dnp were girls and people were shouting those things at them. Dan and Phil may not mind especially/may be able to tune it all out but it does feel kind of like fetishisation to me (the fact that a lot of the comments seem to be directed at Dan, who is often perceived as the more feminine of the two). Idk, I feel like I can't fully articulate why I find that sort of behaviour off-putting but I'm not a fan of it

Edit: Happy Easter to those who celebrate it!!

I'm super late on the Australia-reaction game, but I'm honestly so excited about Dan giving up some of his fashion/style inhibitions. Granted this could just be growth and him discovering what he wants to wear rather than some kind of shift in self-confidence, but regardless, I'm so so happy for him!

Totally agreed with Phantasy. Ever since he debuted that black Vetements hoodie, I can't unsee Dan totally going for a Mitch Grassi vibe - except maybe a bit more delicate? (More potato sacks collar-bone-baring sweaters please!) I love love love it. I love the ripped jeans, I love the natural hair, I love how much he takes pride in all of it, I just... I love it. Now, when will Phil move on from that horrendous hair?

As for merch: In all honesty, I can't say I like the new t-shirt? It seems a bit boring imho and I just don't vibe with white. At least it's just for the one event.

I'm conflicted here because I mostly agree. It's so uncomfortable. The sort of uncomfortable you get when you realize 14-year-olds' parents are paying hundreds of dollars for Dan and Phil to acknowledge them in a liveshow, but I digress. It sucks, but like... they bring it upon themselves? You can't just go tweeting shit like "choke me daddy" and expect your adoring fans not to take that as a cue and mirror it. I'm tempted to say "it is what it is", fans will behave inappropriately regardless. I'd rather this as a result of Dan and Phil behaving however they want than them catering to youth, so that 14-year-olds stop screaming "suck on it."

I'm a bit sleep-deprived at the moment, so I'm not 100% sure that makes sense or what I mean, but there it is.

From your lips (or fingertips I guess) to God's ears because lately I physically recoil at seeing Phil's hair. And now y'all go 'there this bitch again being dramatic over trivial shit' BUT I'M SO SERIOUS RN. It looks so bad, it's unflattering and I just hate it so much. Like this photo earlier this week had me cringing so bad:
Like I get the bad photo quality doesn't help but anyone who looks at that haircut and thinks that that looks fine is on some good shit and I want in.

Phil is a handsome adult man who for some reason insists on having the exact same style as he did when he was in uni. And I guess I can forgive that in his quirky bright clothing choices (kinda.. okay not really because if it were up to me he'd wear a lot more dark colors because hot damn they suit his pale skin and dark hair so much better than anything else) BUT THE HAIR. Push that hair of yours back mah dude, stop it with the choppy emo fringe look.

I'm sure people will spin it as 'well if he likes the way he looks none of our opinions matter~~' and yeah sure you do you, but I'm personally convinced he's more scared of change than anything else tbh.

I wish I was as passionate about doing something with my life as I am about Phil's lack of style.
