Dan & Phil Part 9: The most fun we've ever had

[bluntedclaws]

Lol, now I'm just imagining Dan and Phil finding out about this plan, gaining access to the list of questions somehow, and planning their answers to each one.

"Okay, someone's going to ask who actually edited the FNAF video that one time. We'll say you okay?"
"Sounds good. What about favorite alcoholic beverage? Do we dodge the question?"
"Yeah, you say something about how we don't leave the house."
"Right. Favorite muffin flavor?"
"Why is that one controversial? Chocolate chip for me, blueberry for you, right?"
"Just testing you. You passed."
"Shut up, Dan. So, then there are a loads of questions here about the room on the bus."
"You won the room—"
"Yeah but apparently they're planning on asking directly if you're sleeping in a bunk."
"Jesus Christ. They would. Okay, erm. How about I just say, like, 'Can you imagine how cramped I must be?' No definitive answer."
"What if they're stubborn and insist, like, 'Is that a yes or a no?'?"
"Then they're a little shit. And, er, I dunno, you can cut in and say, 'He really wanted my room but I won fair and square,' or something."
*Phil is turned on by Dan's brilliance* *they kiss* *they have sex in the microwave*

Glozelle is a bit intense isn't she?! She's always so LOUD.

I found this behind-the-scenes picture that i thought was cool

[majitzu]

[offtopic]Any update on where Phil's channels are at today? [/offtopic]

I just check, nothing new.

Oqua that was great, you nailed it

[alittledizzy]

So at least one of the buses is moving on ahead. Either the other one stayed behind in NYC, or Dan and Phil will be just be flying into Boston tomorrow. (Which is probably a better option if motion sickness is one of Phil's current struggles.)

[offtopic]still the same - AP is under no one and LAP is under channelflip [/offtopic]

Oh for heaven's sake... Ta for the update though. Hopes for tonight: Lots of photos/videos/snaps and MAYBE EVEN A HOTEL/YT SPACE-UPLOADED VIDEO?!

Haha, you never cease to amaze me with your optimism. Dream on, girl!

Also, the potato sack is still the potato sack but Dan is looking great in it. He seems confident and that's most important. So you do you Dan, you do you.

agreed with jaej, that daddy thing has to stop. It's ruining all the fanfics and it grosses me out. Is it really a thing? Do people really call their lovers daddy?? (I do like the dad/mum twitter/tumblr thing tho, it still cracks me up that we call celebs we like "dad", i am an easy audience i know)

I agree with both of you, the jokes were ok, but it got too much as a lot of things in the phandom it gets old/creepy very fast. Not trying to kinkshame anyone, but I have a big problem with lifestyle d/s or lifestyle dd/lb relastionships being so popular among very young people (even 12 year olds.. what even..), it could be very harmful. I think sessions are perfectly ok tho.
Also, on a lil bit selfish note the daddy thing in a non-jokey way creeps me out bc of personal reasons so reading fanfics or just scrolling tumblr dash is like walking a minefield. Never had this problem in any other fandom before, it seems like it's precisely phandom where ddlb kink is so prevalent and widespread.
Sorry to bring up such a controversial topic, with Louise are supercute, oqua's fanfic of them going through a list of questions is pure gold

oqua's fanfic of them going through a list of questions is pure gold

That ain't fanfic. That's true...! don'tcha know she's got a tracker and a hidden camera in the bus?

Hopes for tonight: Lots of photos/videos/snaps and MAYBE EVEN A HOTEL/YT SPACE-UPLOADED VIDEO?!

Haha, you never cease to amaze me with your optimism. Dream on, girl!

I need my optimism, dammit! Maybe they'll be shamed into uploading something if they're surrounded by other YTers?

I need wine. Someone bring me some wine. Please.

Yes to this! Come on Deppy, give us at least some cheeky Star Wars Day celebration content. At least a tweet. Come ooooooon!

[Jeweul]

I believe that they'll upload tomorrow or Friday, I'm calling it. Oqua, your nonfiction tale was amazing.

I don't know about wine but I can give you some ribena
And please never stop with your optimism! If you keep on your daily dose of blabbing about them uploading a video, one day you're bound to be right!

Oow, don't apologise for bringing up a topic, as long as you're not aggressive about it everything is ok. If people don't want to talk about it most of them will just ingore your post, don't worry
Grant it, the whole daddy thing does make me laugh more frequently than I'd like to admit but I see where you're coming from: it can get too creepy and inappropriate very quickly (see 12 year olds on twitter or a creepy sign at tatinof NY). It's a thin line. And, as with most jokes, the more it's overused the less funny it becomes, even without the creepiness factor.

I think this topic was briefly covered in a different thread (sociopolitical, maybe?) but I actually don't have much problem with people in their young teens exploring fantasy concepts online. Twelve year olds are figuring stuff out, sexuality and hormones and growing curiosity about everything. The internet raised my awareness of sexuality and expanded my worldview when I was in my early teens. Fanfic basically taught me about sex, and even at that young of an age I knew the difference between fantasy and reality. Fantasy was fun, but it didn't make me want to go out and try the things I was writing. I think there needs to be a balance between not glamorizing dynamics that could set dangerous precedents (not just in fandom/fic but in all adult entertainment industries) but also not overly sheltering kids to the point where they think sexual fantasy is shameful.

(Also, as I type this I'm remembering the kind of stuff I liked in my early teens, and laughing. Man, I grew up to be so vanilla in my tastes. Gimme dat cuddling and pillow talk fic, please.)

I've been into bdsm for 7 years and am currently in lifestyle relationship and i will forever hold people younger than late teens shouldn't be even doing sessions.

That said, fanfiction is a decent exploration field, better than most

[deerly]

Shhhh I'm trying to lay a false trail for D&P to cover oqua

Sorry I'm too lazy to quote everyone

hunnyftw, thank you, I was so worried about bringing that up! It is indeed a thin line and the sign has definitely crossed it for me.

alittledizzy, I absolutely agree about teens exploring these things online, because fanfics helped me a lot in my teens, I'm just concerned about 12-14 olds looking for "daddies" through each other's blogs just because they've seen it in a phanfic.
Also ty, I'll check out sociopolitical thread!

gnostic, YES, that's what I meant, thank you!

[Catallena]

Let's not give the Phandom all the credit/shit for the daddy stuff though, calling male celebs daddy and kink shaming turned into memes without them, more than a year ago at least. The sign at the show was cringe worthy and not really appropriate, but it was a joke and worse things get shouted at teen idol concerts if I am to believe an old classmate who chaperoned her niece to a Bieber concert a few years ago. Parents might raise their eyebrows at seeing/hearing some things, but fans have always been crazy sexual at concerts and stuff.

I still find the way fourteen year olds (and sometimes younger) write hardcore BDSM as if they're describing a stroll in the park concerning though. I definitely don't want to shelter them and I read my first super vanilla smut fic at the tender age of thirteen as well, but I raise my eyebrows at young teens writing scenes like that. That just goes a little beyond exploring in my opinion, especially considering how very little control there is. Kids shouldn't be underestimated, but they also shouldn't be expected to be able to understand and deal with sexual things like adults. I've expressed my thoughts in the Sociopolitical thread before, in fact I brought it up I think, so I'll shut up now~

(I mostly hope the Daddy trend dies soon because all smut has been taken over by it and I'm not always in the mood for it when looking for new stuff.)

[hunnyftw]

I actually don't have much problem with people in their young teens exploring fantasy concepts online. Twelve year olds are figuring stuff out, sexuality and hormones and growing curiosity about everything.

I think you raised interesting points. And to some extent I agree that even preteens have a right to fantasise, however cringey we (or they later in life) may find it. However, everything has its limits and my personal limit is reached when the proverbial 12 year old makes a fantasy and the reality crossover.
One of the examples of that would be an attempt to interact with real-life adults in this way (the daddy thing) on twitter. Are they joking and know the difference between a fantasy and the reality? Maybe. Probably. But when the're forcing themselves with their fantasy on a real adult (who didn't ask for this particular kind of attention and is quite probably unwilling to continue the interaction) their joking comes with an added bonus of possibly making their addressee uncomfortable by forcing him/her to briefly imagine the same fantasy which is probably not something that the poor addressee would ever wish to do.

I know that I'm describing a very specific situtation but that's what always comes to my mind because I hardly ever read fanfics but I do lurk on twitter from time to time and I'll be a very happy bean if I never have to see something like "fuck me with a blender and spit my eyes out, daddy!" on there

[thecheshirekatt3]

Many many good points raised about the whole daddy thing. Personally I'm always of the opinion you do you as long as no one else is getting hurt and yadda yadda, but there is a line. For sure youngsters need a safe place to explore these thoughts and such and I know that I fell down the rabbit hole at a young age and have been digging perpetually deeper as I go, but there is a difference between fantasy and reality, and much like what hunnyftw said, once you have youngsters foisting themselves at adults through social media it gets to be a rather sticky situation.
I also agree with Catallena, kinda hoping it dies down because I am not always in the mood to read the lot when I'm looking for more fic material to drown myself in.

[offtopic]I'm watching some snapchats from the creator summit...
From what i've seen all the creators were split up in different teams (for a team building exercise I suppose) to compete against each other in preparing an "aesthetically pleasing" plate of chopped vegetables and other food...

No signs of deppy for now, but I'd love to see them chopping veggies and being super domestic at a youtube event!!
and what their team will create....

The thought of them having to participate in team-building exercises just amuses me to no end. I need those videos if they exist. Phil might put on a good face, but I think Dan's lack of enthusiasm would be obvious.

I'm reminded of this bit from The X-Files (Mulder is Dan here):

[offtopic]Agent Kinsley: Last year, was something of a personal revelation. We were doing an exercise called Team Builders where we were given two minutes to build a tower out of ordinary office furniture.

Stonecypher: When I stood on Mike's shoulders and I put that electric pencil sharpener on top of the pile... we both knew we could never have done it alone.

Mulder: [whispering to Scully] Kill me now.[/offtopic]

[Lurktacularr]

SO I just watched another PewPhan video (bless that channel) and have spotted a wild Deppy hugging someone in a non-awkward fashion:

1:13

Both arms engaged, leaning down, the full deal. Phil's still looks better but neither are awkward.

I used to give them (mostly Dan) shit in my head for being so awkward about it but I was being massively naive. They're keeping these teenage girls (sometimes younger) at literal arm's length because they're full grown adult men. Throw in the fact many of these girls wanna rip their pants off (and bring in signs calling them 'daddy' *gip*) and its a no-brainer that you're not gonna hug them properly.

I don't know why I didn't see that or assumed they weren't doing it on purpose. Seeing all the shit in the tatinof thread like 'no kissing' etc has clearly opened my eyes. I guess as an older viewer I never thought of it cos if they wanted to press their whole bodies against me I'd be DOWN FOR THAT but that would be ok cos I'm their age.

I actually may be able to watch M&G videos now I can keep this in mind. Previously I'd cringe my neck off at Dan's hugging but knowing its deliberate and justified may just make it bearable

This wasn't remotely on topic but WHAT IS THESE DAYS EH. Fucking upload something boys before I eat my Mac because I forget what I'm supposed to do with it.

[SquishPhan]

[lilMango]

I am actually in love with gigs's idea, could we maybe start a M&G thread with some cool ideas/questions for meetups? Idk I think it would be interesting, even for people who aren't going to see them.
~ don't mind me, I have absolutely nothing to add to the convo ~

[daphenaxa]

the way dan is holding his bottle is so weird. also his hands really are gigantic

I've been loving all the topics brought up and all your jokes as well. I love this forum a lot, thank you for keeping me entertained. Even if I don't post, I still appreciate your rambles

Waiting for content just like everyone else here. Love love love Dan's jumper, and yeah, who does he think he is dammit Always here for sweater paws.

Happy to see Phil looks like he is feeling better as well
