I think Louise just knows she has to be careful in what she is saying about D&P. Anything she says can be taken in completely the wrong way by the phandom. Maybe she does know something (which wouldn't surprise me as they are friends). She wouldnt want a Dm from Phil anytime soon.

Plus I love her phanimation she's very talented and has a knack for picking the funniest bits to animate.[/offtopic]
Yes I love Hannah. He phanimation videos are great and I completely agree with her. The phandom can be completely over the top some of the time. Sometimes they forget they are real people with real feelings (like when people shout "is Phan real? At them).

Tweet.

I love Hannah! I even watch her vlogs. She is funny and smart and charming. Glad to see she is getting more subscribers. She has great comedic timing and picks the best parts to animate.

Hmmm, we usually get a tweet from Mr. Lester (or sometimes that slacker Howell) about this time of day - I wonder what that could mean?

Yep, she is great, couldn't have put it better.

It would be great if Louise did find (or "find") her glittery video with them. I'd love to know why they ended up with glitter on their hands or whatever it was Phil said.

Love old-style Phil so much. I love that he had his hair so long. It's so rare to see a guy with long hair in a style rather than limp or froofy, not that there's anything wrong with just leaving it there, but Phil's hair looked great. His energy too, I love him so much in those old videos, I want to time travel and subscribe from the start (and vlog, tweet him for tips and be living the life now too, so burnt out atm clearing out junk at home is giving me life). It's weird to think what I was doing at that time. Time's flown since I went into IT from teaching in 2008 and it doesn't seem that long ago, it's strange to think their whole rise of stardom has been in that time.

My mind has gone straight to "they're too busy sharing a bath with a colourful glittery bathbomb". Time for bed.

Hm. That video was a mixture of valid points and narrow views but she was very articulate and everyone's entitled to their opinions. I just hope people don't actually take her word as some kind of authority. Shipping real people is not an inherently bad thing, though I totally agree with her statements about respect and keeping it in its place.

Do you know the approximate timestamp of when she started talking about it?

I want to say it was between 14:00-17:00 minute mark, but I'm not 100% on that. I was kind of half listening while I was getting ready.
FB has a weird time bar that counts down and doesn't show where it's at, but seems like she started talking about it around 21:12 (with about 30:26 minutes remaining)

https://www.facebook.com/louisepentland ... =2&theater

EDIT: She mentioned Dan with around 27:16 minutes remaining and then Phil shortly after. She just laughed and said she'd eat Dan alive and he doesn't like to leave his house, and "poor Dan" lol. And for Phil, she mentioned he lives in London, it's not going to work, and it'd be a bit weird.

Meh, tbh her reaction didn't seem too suspicious to me. She's around gleamers way more than D+P so it's only natural she wouldn't think of D+P right away.
But she sees dnp a lot, and they don't seem just "aquatintnes" more friends and I think she would remember dnp. She laughed funnily as well (is this just me) but who knows.
They see each other a lot according to who? I mean, sure they see her more often than they see someone like Cat but I was specifically comparing Louise seeing them to seeing Gleamers. Just to clarify, I never said/ I don't think they're just acquaintances. I just said she sees/hangs with Gleamers a lot more than D+P and would probably (imo) think of them first. She even pointed out that Phil lives in London so I assume she did that to emphasize that hypothetically speaking, if they were to date, distance would prevent them from seeing each other often. So I think that can safely be applied to their friendship as well.

In the video after someone suggested Dan, she laughed after saying "Ummm, no" like she had to briefly consider what it would be like. She then proceeded to basically imply that Dan couldn't handle her lol. To me that doesn't seem like she's covering up for anything but rather she was thinking what it would be like to be in a relationship with Dan. I don't think she would put much thought into it if she knew Dan wasn't single. Idk, I'm not saying that she doesn't know/suspect anything of their relationship, I'm just saying based on the liveshow, I personally didn't think her reaction was suspicious.

Both Phil and Chris had Vlogcandy guest spots on the same week in July 2009.It's sad that I knew that off the top of my head First introductions maybe? Or through PJ? Isn't he who people believe started The Mystery Channel, which is where Vlogcandy met up, soooo maybe he's the mastermind for the 2008/2009 Phil recommended channel gang.

I've been watching Phil since 2008, but I definitely wasn't as obsessive as I am now. Considering Phil only had 28 000 followers on Twitter in August 2010 thanks WaybackMachine, which was only about 25% of his YT subscribers (compared to the almost 75% that follow his Twitter now), I don't know how many people really cared to extensively investigate his personal life like they do now. For that matter, I personally didn't think much at all about dan, he just showed up, and I didn't feel the need for any sort of explanation or backstory at the time.

Okay, good point. I'm sorry, I was a bit unclear with that. I wasn't saying that you said they weren't friends. I've noticed they hang out a lot at playlist live parties and other events like that more than other youtubers hang out with them. Sorry :cry:

According to Chris, he knew Peej first and Peej introduced him to Phil. He then knew Dan through Phil.

It's true that being more private makes people more obsessed about your private life.

Why are they so silent all of the sudden? I miss them and yeah sure, they need time to rest or whatever but they can't even tweet often? What about a liveshow? I want them to come home really soon.

No need to apologize! As we've seen, Louise has definitely hung out with D+P at these youtuber events but I meant on a regular basis back in the UK, I don't think she hangs with them as often as she does with the Gleamers (with whom she'll hang out with at youtuber events AND on her spare time just for fun/collabs/etc. quite often).

Anyway, I have a feeling either later today or tomorrow we'll be getting a tweet that they've returned to England!

Possibly travelling, also possible they're in the wilderness somewhere with no internet that would be A Thing.

I never post but since this applies to me I thought I'd chime in.
I knew of them and interacted with people that interacted with them. A lot of my friends did YouTube and were in the YouTube community, in this little niche corner of the internet. (Granted, not that little, but the social media we used was nowhere as big as it is now.) I got sucked into the phandom one year ago next month, when I searched for Sims 4 playthroughs and found Dil. In all the comments, people were referring to things they did and said in 2012 and 2009 and when I looked up videos of them back then, I recognized them immediately (they changed SO much, I honestly don't even think they look like the same people). I knew of Phil because my friend LOVED Pj, and I knew of him as this really weird internet famous guy. I actually didn't even know he got famous through YouTube, since a lot of social media celebs at the time just did YouTube as one of many things. I recognized Dan because I remembered him as this mildly popular guy kind of trying to break into the scene. I know they flirted heavily back then and everyone assumed they were together. I remember someone asked them if they were dating on a live chat thing (I do remember specifics, when/what/who etc, but I have absolutely no receipts and it was literally so long ago that I could be mistaken because I kind of wrote it off a bit at the time and was focused on talking to people I met in the chat so I'm not going to go into detail in the main thread. Also why this is under a spoiler) and they laughed and when pressed for an answer, Dan shook his head no. Literally no one believed them because they were flirting to the point where they seemed like they were in their own little world and everyone else kind of just let them be. Not too much different to them now, in all honesty .

Thanks for the insights so much for people not being invested in what was going between them in 2010, do you remember anything else?

I don't follow Rosanna, but I'm always in for a collab video.

Also they look really married in that pic.
I'm sure it's gonna be a baking video and I'm not mad about it

I agree with the bolded. I often have moments were I doubt actually believe I'm watching the same people. I don't know if I would have immediately recognized either of them if I hadn't directly searched for them.
I know they flirted heavily back then and everyone assumed they were together. I remember someone asked them if they were dating on a live chat thing (I do remember specifics, when/what/who etc, but I have absolutely no receipts and it was literally so long ago that I could be mistaken because I kind of wrote it off a bit at the time and was focused on talking to people I met in the chat so I'm not going to go into detail in the main thread. Also why this is under a spoiler) and they laughed and when pressed for an answer, Dan shook his head no.
I feel like I definitely heard of that live chat somewhere (after the fact), but I wasn't too invested in them little did I know. Not knowing much about their interactions on other social media, I think I just assumed that people were pushing it because they were cute emo boys, though thinking back on it now, I feel like that trend was probably on it's way out by 2010.

hazeygal212 wrote:[offtopic][/offtopic]Just something I've been wondering for a while: many of the users here have been in the phandom for a long time- was anyone here fans of Phil in 2009 or earlier? I'm curious because we've all seen old tweets and formed opinions on them, but does anyone have context from being a part of the community themselves? I'm an avid phan shipper but I know that tweets are very easy to fake. It'd be interesting to know what people who were fans in the early days thought of deppy's interactions with each other/the world. Sorry for being off topic- the tweets a few pages back reminded me that I've been wanting to ask!
I never post but since this applies to me I thought I'd chime in.
I knew of them and interacted with people that interacted with them. A lot of my friends did YouTube and were in the YouTube community, in this little niche corner of the internet. (Granted, not that little, but the social media we used was nowhere as big as it is now.) I got sucked into the phandom one year ago next month, when I searched for Sims 4 playthroughs and found Dil. In all the comments, people were referring to things they did and said in 2012 and 2009 and when I looked up videos of them back then, I recognized them immediately (they changed SO much, I honestly don't even think they look like the same people). I knew of Phil because my friend LOVED Pj, and I knew of him as this really weird internet famous guy. I actually didn't even know he got famous through YouTube, since a lot of social media celebs at the time just did YouTube as one of many things. I recognized Dan because I remembered him as this mildly popular guy kind of trying to break into the scene. I know they flirted heavily back then and everyone assumed they were together. I remember someone asked them if they were dating on a live chat thing (I do remember specifics, when/what/who etc, but I have absolutely no receipts and it was literally so long ago that I could be mistaken because I kind of wrote it off a bit at the time and was focused on talking to people I met in the chat so I'm not going to go into detail in the main thread. Also why this is under a spoiler) and they laughed and when pressed for an answer, Dan shook his head no. Literally no one believed them because they were flirting to the point where they seemed like they were in their own little world and everyone else kind of just let them be. Not too much different to them now, in all honesty .
Thanks for the insights so much for people not being invested in what was going between them in 2010, do you remember anything else?

i don't remember any other specific time I encountered them, I just knew of them generally and this specific incident I remember in detail because of reasons completely unrelated to D&P. This was sometime in mid-November 09 and the thing was that nobody was invested in them. Like maybe their lil fans but it wasn't a big thing. Their flirting was just so blatant that day that it kind of made everyone else... I don't want to say uncomfortable because that's not the right word, but it was like... what's going on? What's the joke? I'll tell you the actual details in a PM because this probably doesn't make sense but I don't feel comfortable putting it on the main thread bc it's incredibly specific. :?
