Is this the most married photo dump they have ever done? I feel like it. The titanic pose 
Tied for favorite are the titanic pose and Dan's little dancey dance for Phil in the tour bus 
The absolute behemoth of a compilation I had to make out of that Instagram dump. The Titanic pose was insane but my favorite might actually be the little clip of Dan do his little dance and looking back at Phil. No context whatsoever but it feels like I'm watching something very private. (And Phil whining about having to walk up so many stairs, he's so me).
The little animated clip posted on DAPG was also very cute
Meanwhile, tomorrow is not just the 15th Phanniversary, it's also the day the world holds it's breath to see whether The Prophecy comes true. No but seriously imagine it.

This was hilarious, especially as the first post to pop up on ig for me this morning. I explained it to my mum, who was duly slightly interested, having heard enough about Dip and Pip for nine years now. On my third watch I had to wonder if they took the time to print and carefully cut out the faces on the wall, but I guess they’re probably masks they bought.
I’ve been both trying to avoid too many tour spoilers and also watching some clips, and I love this “giving them what we want now” vibe.

Wild.
I love this We don’t give a single fuck universe we’re in right now! First the video from Saturday, then the PVC photo on Twitter, and now the newlywed game…
They really committed to boiling the frog! And I laugh so hard every time!

Im having parasocial thoughts about them and marriage and i'm wondering if anyone out here remembers in one of dans you nows when there were two popular daily vloggers that broke up and everyone was so sad and he want off on this talk about fans getting attached to the relationship status of vloggers and how he wouldnt want to hurt people if the relationship didnt work out. anyone else remember what Im talking about?

I know exactly what you're talking about! Although what I remembered was him saying something like everybody is watching your relationship they get too invested and when it's time to break up it gets messier/crazier than it needs to be? I would have to rewatch the clip it's been 7 or 8 years since I last watched itArtdefines06 wrote: Wed Oct 23, 2024 10:25 pm Im having parasocial thoughts about them and marriage and i'm wondering if anyone out here remembers in one of dans you nows when there were two popular daily vloggers that broke up and everyone was so sad and he want off on this talk about fans getting attached to the relationship status of vloggers and how he wouldnt want to hurt people if the relationship didnt work out. anyone else remember what Im talking about?
I find it extremely unlikely that they would ever break up but i also know nothing about relationships lol
some of dnp's outfits this tour and the NA leg in particular have been so unserious lmao, especially when you look at old ii and even tatinof ones that are just nice and normal compared to americore, PVC suit, the dress to impress irl fits, etc just putting on whatever (i mean this lightheartedly).
generalising, i think the ii era had my fave overall aesthetics. lots of coordination, always well put together (the london show stands out as an example). but i feel like that's an unpopular opinion idk.
regarding discussions from a few pages ago on dnp and how they navigate their relationship in the public eye compared to other youtube couples (i meant to comment sooner but didn't get around to it, sorry, i've admittedly been a little disconnected for the past couple weeks):
on Grey's point "Actually, from my recollection, in the past they used to post similar types of photos... for example a joint photo of them on the Niagara Falls boat" (old stories also come to mind, as does the GTPWTW thumbnail) – agree with that for the most part. and with the difference being that there's less anxiety, we're in a different context, things are more overt and less curated (especially since dnp learned the joint post feature on instagram lol).
i often think about that time after they came out in 2019–2020 when they avoided posting anything together. even when they arguably could've capitalised on the attention they received from coming out, or capitalised on everyone being at home during lockdown, they chose not to (for various reasons).

I think what Dan says he does is definitely starting the argument, right?

oh man Married for 13 years together for 19 and all the little arguments are exactly the stuff my hubby and I talk to our therapist about and they are both right tbh. Yes, you don't have to point out all the little things the other person did wrong all the time, but sometimes you do. There is a right way to do it though but it requires being regulated yourself to pull the right language and calm yourself down, which no one can do 100% of the time. If someone points out what you are doing wrong and it was important then you do have to honor that and not brush it off. Its so hard (especially when you throw trauma and nuerodivergence in the mix)
great vid and thank goodness the two bedrooms can be put to rest now with a simple "phil snores". Its over. I am at peace.

I used to like to come read people's timestamps of DnP's videos here, and it just occurred to me that no one posts them anymore because at least 90% of every single video, is something we would have found timestamp-worthy just a year or two ago.

Showing up after a couple months with Starbucks for everyone so you don't notice I was gone.
Timestamps, anyone?
:55 - The capitale$terification of things that used to be unspoken fandom holidays is startling to me still. Jarring, even. It's theirs to own; I'm not really mad about it. But it feels weird.
2:00 - "You are our third in this video. The questioning third." I need a shot, actually.
2:13 - Dan referencing how they are basically the same person at this point before it even starts.
2:27 - Who would be caught tied to a wall at furcon? Unanimously Dan. This doesn't surprise me at all; my headcanon for a while has been that Dan is more likely to identify as a furry while Phil is more likely to be fascinated watching furries have sex but not identify with any other aspects of it as much. I think Phil probably just enjoys things a bit to the left of center, in general, even if he doesn't want to partake himself.
3:32 Who is bossies? Unanimously Phil. I love this little peak into their dynamic. Ignoring the "stinky baby" thing, they are bossy in different ways. Dan is more big picture trying to accomplish goals and Phil is more to try and satisfy his individual needs.
4:05 - Who is more likely to cut the video off due to a sponsor? Obviously this one is Phil, and cue spon segment that I skipped the first time and am skipping now.
5:28 - Who would accidentally answer the door with no pants on? Unanimously Phil. I think this just speaks to a little more of Phil's general obliviousness and ability to be in his own bubble when he's comfortable, which is kind of fascinating considering Phil seems more anxious and hyperalert when they are in public.
5:50 - Who drinks more? Unanimously Dan. We knew this already about Phil being a lightweight and Dan not being one, but I do enjoy confirmation that Phil is just a silly drunk and the shoutout to a classic dinof video.
6:36 - Who is the gayest? Unanimously Phil. This does not surprise me at all and I am going to answer an ask specifically just about this. But tl;dr I think Phil has a very binary sense of attraction and Dan doesn't. Also he gets a gold star for "the concept of women."
7:02 - Who's most likely to get a tattoo? Unanimously Phil. This Phil lore is interesting and I do think he'll end up with a tattoo at some point.
8:20 - Who is most likely to have the next medical emergency? Unanimously Phil. His body really is a fail.
8:42 - Who is better at time management? So many questions in and the first differing response!! This immediately took me back to the roulette game. Good to know Dan has not changed in his stubbornness, and also that he believes a divorce is when he can't see Phil for five seconds.
9:44 - Who snores more when sleeping? Unanimously Phil. rip everyone on that tour bus, apparently? Now I need to know if Dan is the type to just put in earplugs, or if he wakes Phil up when it's too loud.
10:16 - Who starts more arguments? Their second differing response, and imo the most satisfying moment of the video. Insert this type of domestic into my vein. Dan is pettier about small things but he says he's just pointing things out/observing it, and to him he's just verbalizing it and to Phil it's Dan starting an argument. Phil wants Dan to let more things just wash over him.
11:10 - Who kills/removes the spiders? Unanimously Phil, which we already knew but I love a good renewed confirmation that he removes them with a glass instead of killing them.
11:31 - Who is more likely to stand up for the other when a restaurant gets their order wrong? Unanimously Dan, followed by the beautiful phrasing of Phil not even complaining if he got "the cheese super allergy knife bowl, mmm tasty." But the dichotomy here that I really love is how in the microcosm of their relationship Phil is bossier, more outspoken with turning things into arguments, and more likely to ask for and get his way... but when it comes to outside of the relationship Dan finds that more comfortable. Dan really does have that older sibling-verging-on-mom override.
11:53 - Who's more likely to be lurking on social media? Unanimously Phil. Dan is traumatized and I do believe he doesn't want to know or see the commentary on himself or his projects except through a filter. Philter. Sorry. I'll move on.
12:10 - Who is the bigger nerd? Unanimously Dan. Dan does seem more for ADHD style hyperfixation whereas Phil is more of a lifetime fandom person.
12:47 - Which one of you is the alpha? They each answered themselves, but neither of them took this seriously. Phil is right tbh they are both betas.
13:17 - Phil doesn't like being told what to do. This is probably my second favorite part of the video. I feel like it makes sense but isn't something I would readily think of; he doesn't like confrontation so it's not an element of his personality that we would see come out a lot. But he's also someone that's essentially never been in a scenario past the school age where he really had to answer to anyone above him. He's equal in his relationship, he's financially independent, he's in control of his career. Any 'boss' he's had was an unconventional scenario (like BBC1 where he didn't have to apply to be there, he was invited) and while he's worked hard he's just done it of his own volition and not due to anyone outside of himself and his partnership requiring it.
13:29 - Who's more likely to flirt with the waiter? Unanimously Phil, which I love because this is really a slice of true Dan. He didn't once try to imply that he's the lolz horny on grindr getting those hookups slut boy summer persona. Dan is only that in theory; in reality he's worrying about politics and his own anxiety and making sure Phil wasn't served cheese allergy knife soup.
13:59 - Who's more likely to become a stripper? Unanimously Dan. Shoutout to the nakedbooth era of 2009. I also appreciate his point about how being any kind of content creator is similar.
14:40 - Who is most likely to leave their hair in the shower wall? Opposing answers, but Phil's logic is flawed. It isn't who will see it, it's who would do it. Confirmation from Dan again that Phil is very messy and also still uses three towels.
15:04 - Who has a worse sense of direction? Unanimously Phil. I really identify with this.
15:14 - Who has the highest screen time? Unanimously Dan, but they go into the differences in screen time. Phil seems to actively use his more whereas Dan uses it passively to watch things. Dan never lets his mind just be chill and doesn't want to be alone with his thoughts, whereas Phil can rawdog the laundry with nothing playing. Dan uses his phone for escapism, Phil uses it to seek out information.
15:52 - Bubbly Ben coming in clutch with "Whom's ass claps the hardest?" - I need an oil painting of Dan's expression as Phil reads this. And the caption should be, "Answer the fucking question, Phil." (It is, obviously, a unanimous Phil.) Followed by one of Dan's patented over the top 'we crossed a line' which I'll forgive him for in this one instance since the entire video was fairly free of his go-to filler quotes.
