I didn't even realize I wanted this so badly if you hadn't mentioned it! Phil seems like he's so good with animals, I'd love to see just him with some furry friends and some Attenborough like voice over. Not THAT kind of furry, I know what you're thinking you pervs.kuensukki wrote: I hope Phil gets to do a documentary for BBC preferably with animals, I was watching his crocodile adventures in Florida and they were great!
kuensukki you and I must be on the same wave length. I believe the voldy was real and that the leak caused an enormous amount of pain for them. Not just the leak itself, which if they weren't out to family (or wanted to be in general) could be awful, but the way each of them handled it affected the other one. And they are 2 different people who handle stressful situations differently. I can see Phil shutting down emotionally and Dan being "fine, be that way" at least at first. With Dan being so admittedly emotional it must have been so hard on him both of them. For them to have survived that and be better than ever personally and professionally says a lot about them as people -- (again, why I have so much respect for their character).kuensukki wrote:Thanks mermaind blood, jaej and alittledizzy, starlight-still and anyone else who I missed, thanks for making such compelling answers!
karma-yeah I literally think about it all the time in my head so yesterday I felt like typing out all the ideas, it was pretty therapeutic. D&P did luck out in finding each other. I think that as mermaid blood said its much harder to decipher Phil's attraction to Dan because aside from physical/common interests he never gave more inclination about his feelings. But its clear he fell hard for Dan especially seeing the voldy vid. So that made me question who loved more initially and who loved more later. Every relationship/friendship has on person who is more invested. Are D&P the exception- are they 50-50, or did one try harder to maintain it. Even as keeping their friendship which we see they value above all else. Dan says Phil was his first best friend so obviously he would like to maintain that, but Phil, who seemed to have some really close friends like Adam, completely put Dan above them. Who sat down in later 2013/2014 (cuz you guys gave me perspective on 2012) and said I want to fix this and I want to maintain what we have.

Re: the valentine's day video, I definitely agree about Phil shutting down emotionally. In the fandom it seems we always portray Dan as the one who initiated the supposed 2012 breakup, but I was thinking about it the other day, and man, the video is such a intimate, raw side of Phil. Like, I totally could understand if Phil's tendency to shy away from expressing opinions has to do not just with not wanting to alienate viewers, but also the fact that the world's already been privy to a very personal part of his life. if i was in his position i'd be fine with holding back and being more private after that. idk.karma_yeah wrote: kuensukki you and I must be on the same wave length.

If we're going to try to kill each other by inducing too many pheels I feel like I need to add this clip to the mix. I didn't know 5 seconds of footage could do this to meIckleMissMayhem wrote:"..."karma_yeah wrote:Oops, imbedded the wrong video clip

can't platonic your way out of that one. Nuh-uh.
I feel like people miss/overlook the Phil side of the voldy situation a lot, just because Dan was so out there with his reactions and there's more material to study with him. But just the fact that there's not a lot about Phil and his reactions speaks volumes to me. He really did shut down, though I'm of the opinion that it was just toward the public and not toward Dan. I think we saw their discomfort because their discomfort was with us, not between each other. That just often gets translated into 'oh they must have been fighting/broken up.'greatnessflicker wrote:Re: the valentine's day video, I definitely agree about Phil shutting down emotionally.

Maybe I'm too much of a "Dan girl" but I only recently thought about the video leak from Phil's perspective and how absolutely vulnerable that must have made him.

We still don't know what it is, we just know the characters they voiced aren't human, and yes, that it is something we might not be interested in. And when they announced it they said it was going to come out in a long time.fancy_nancy wrote:i just realized no ones talking about this anymore but did we figure what was the voice acting thing they did?? i tried looking but then dan said it's something we might not be interested in so i figured it's not mainstream or really popular and i ran out of ideas.
lol at Phil trying to smooth over the moment in the first video by pulling that face.

I also have no idea how to 'explain' this clip in a platonic sense. 'Just gazing into my platonic bro's eyes while a Taylor Swift song is playing, then looking away and blushing while fiddling nervously with my hair..' though
I'll just crawl back into the trash bin where I belong now.
So Dan did know exactly what he was doing. That little shitIckleMissMayhem wrote: Little shit...! They're gonna get murdered by a group of other YTs at PL. Get your TATINOF refunds now(!)
I always felt that Phil liked trolling people, but it now appears that Dan likes it too. I approve.Kathrynxjane wrote:So Dan did know exactly what he was doing.

haha yeah, I suppose I just mean that I wish they felt more open, like Phil's family, but I guess I'm asking for too much. It just seemed to be that the problem earlier was that Adrian was too young to be that open on the internet.majitzu wrote:Now that he is older... I'm older and I don't have my fb profile open.

It would be so cool if the three of them did a video. Blegh, now I'm just daydreaming. Poor Adrian.
I was listening to that stream of consciousness thing from TAABINOF last night and can I just say that it contributed to my growing appreciation for him.ayane wrote:dan the man with the plan
