11:05 - lava lamp from dan.
12:45 - “i went up north(..) everyday was a good day for going outside, going for a walk, hanging out by the beach, looking at the seaside.” so nice that they spent the time relaxing, going on family walks, and eating good food .
13:50 - “my mom made me a cake.” this cake was cute as hell, mrs. lester is amazing .
17:20 - shows hatched emu egg.
20:36 - “CHAT: thoughts on the beauty and the beast trailer?” “p: i’m not sure, does it need to be made again? is that a controversial opinion?”
21:05 - “CHAT: it looks amazing, i’m excited.” “p: okay, i’ll be excited.” i know this is just something about a movie but i think it kind of shows how he does deal with “controversial opinions.” he shared his opinion that the movie isn’t really necessary and when people in the chat disagreed he says he’ll be excited/kind of takes back his opinion .
22:40 - dan falling was “a mixture of hilarious and genuine concern-ity.”
26:30 - “though, dil has baby dab so that’s enough children for me to look at at the moment.”
29:16 - “CHAT: will you ever get a dog?” “yes!(..)there is a dog on the horizon.” my favorite part of the liveshow !! i did think it was strange he wanted to prove the “yes” by showing the camera but didn’t with any other answer.
31:55- 35:00 - story about being too scared to walk on the path with holes. “didn’t know i’d be afraid of heights - i was(..) just that specific situation freaked me out.”
38:11 - “she knew that i’d asked for a red velvet cake so she bought me red velvet cookies.” aww once again mrs. lester is amazing .
38:38 - talks about celebrating friend birthday.
39:07 - “i’ve still got that childhood fear [of a restaurant singing to you for your birthday].”

wait, i'm pretty sure he did get it back eventually. in january 2012 he answered this vyou that he got this hat at h&m 2 years ago (so december 2009 when he got hat #2) and then he still had it as of at least december 2014 (last time i remember it). or am i confused and this isn't the same hat?
Oh maybe he did get it back then! For some reason I just assumed he bought a third but there's really no proof of that.

The journey of Dan's original hat, as told through tweets and dailybooths.

wow what a dramatic story! it seems like that hat had a lot of sentimental value to him, so im not suprised he seems so happy about his new one
Edit: or not a new one? if he never lost the second?

Ahhh, everything seems so lovely for them at the moment and it's truly keeping me sane. Every morning I wake up and check twitter, and I'm just bombarded with all the sweet things that have happened over night regarding dnp and god, what a nice contrast to the constant barrage of horrific politics news.
That photo Dan posted truly killed me, I think that emoji speaks volumes for how he's felt on IoM, and it's nice that it was just a sweet, honest post without any attempt to be jokey or cynical.
Phil's liveshow was really lovely as well, I really enjoyed how comfortably he talked about celebrating with his family and Dan. I truly have no idea how anyone could even entertain the thought that they're hiding secret girlfriends at this point tbh

I love how open Phil has been in recent months to be honest ^.^.
I don't know if I'm just seeing things that aren't there but he seems to be even happier and buzzing with more energy lately as well?

FINALLY. I don't understand how he can be such a big Joss fan without having seen Firefly yet. Also, if he's going down this path of actually watching other things Joss Whedon has made besides Buffy and The Avengers, I totally hope he watches Dr. Horrible soon (and forces Dan to watch it with him).

Moderator Action :
Hey guys! I have some more coding/embedding updates!
6) Updated "Off-topic" style
mez29 wrote:+ oqua coding queen. The tw code makes so much more sense now. I've always wondered if the off-topic one could be changed to something similar (cos it looks a bit weird putting the less relevant stuff in bold?)
Ah, I've always been a been unhappy with the bold OT text too! I've modified it slightly so it's not bold anymore.
This is how it used to be:
Off-Topic :
Off-topic stuff.
And now I've changed it to this:
[offtopic]Italic, normal weight, grey.[/offtopic]
7) Alternative spoiler tag with content label
I also added a kind of alternate spoiler tag feature? It gives you the option of changing the text of the spoiler button from "Show" to whatever you like. This also now lets you do three levels of spoilers but please don't abuse this feature lmao
The tag is [Hide=] and after the = you write whatever you want the spoiler to be labeled. Note however that the only characters you can use in the label are letters, numbers, spaces, commas, dots, minus, plus, and underscores. (The normal "spoiler" tag still is perfectly fine, but I thought there might be instances where this alternative would be a helpful feature.)
[Hide=Click here to see some random text I wrote]Bork giraffe llama placenta susan phan[/Hide]
8) TUMBLR EMBEDDING
You have no idea how long I took attempting to figure out a way to embed Tumblr posts. I tried like a million options and nothing worked. The solution I finally came up with isn't perfect - you have to use part of the embed code, rather than just the url - but it's the best way I've been able to come up with.
1. Go to the post's "embed" page, which can be found by clicking the embed button in the upper right corner of the page, or by adding /embed to the end of the url.
2. Highlight the embed code up until the ">" before "<a href". I recommend that you start in between the "><" and highlight backward, otherwise it will automatically select the entirety of the code for you.
So in our example, we highlight this portion of the code:
3. Paste this bit of the code between the tags [Tumblr] and [/Tumblr]. Make sure that there is a space between [Tumblr] and <div. Make sure there is no space between the final > and the [/Tumblr].
It might take a few seconds to appear, and sometimes the embedded post doesn't show up when you "preview" your post (which kinda sucks). But don't be alarmed; it's there!
Here are just some more examples of embedded tumblr posts:
Note: If the Tumblr user changes their URL or deletes the post, the embedded post won't work anymore. So use caution!! I feel like one situation where Tumblr posts are quoted is when there's some sort of drama, and these posts often end up deleted. So if you're talking about Tyler Oakley's latest questionable phan reblog or Evan Edinger's latest shady reply to an ask about the phandom, screenshots are probably your friend (at least include one under a spoiler as a backup.) Also, some phandom blogs tend to change their URLs pretty frequently, so Tumblr embedding probably isn't a reliable way to insert things like gifsets. I think the feature will be best to use with things like Dan's tumblr reblogs or other posts that are unlikely to be deleted or have their URL changed. But yeah! I'm really glad I finally figured out how to make this possible and I hope it's useful!

De-lurking just to say this: I've always hesitantly shipped deppy (loved the idea of them together, thought that they definitely had something at some point, wasn't 100% sure if they were still an item), but this birthday weekend at IoM has fully convinced me. These boys will be the death of me.

I completely agree! I'm mostly phanagnostic, and this past year i've been seeing them as just friends, but something about the isle of man trip has totally turned it around for me. i guess it's just the fact that they're subtly acknowledging each other as family. it fills my heart

He did buy a third hat, because the hat he's wearing in the pictures from the IOM is different from hat #2:
I hope he did get the other hat back, and that he has two furry hats now.

Yeah, I knew the new hat was definitely not the same one. I am wondering what happened to the other one thought, I wonder if he'd ever wear it again or it's too linked to images of old Dan? I feel like sometimes they retire items of clothing just because they're done with the association.
Either way, the new one is an adorable upgrade.
