Dan & Phil Part 50: Should we kiss now?

somethingsketchy · Mon Jul 17, 2017 1:40 pm

Okay, oh my, wow, I just had a revelation while going through Phil's Tumblr. I realised I've actually been to the skybar where D&P's first Singapore selfie* was taken (and also to that boat thingy in the background, which is actually the rooftop terrace of the hotel where they were staying). My Singapore trip took place in 2011 so I had kind of already forgot half of the things I did there, but I suddenly got so many nice flashbacks.

Now that we've been talking about walking tours, this naturally made my think of a possible Singapore tour. However, I don't know if making one would be worth it because even though we actually know of quite a few places where went there, a couple of them are so fancy I doubt anyone with a normal holiday budget would go there. I mean, the only reason why I've been to any rooftop bars in Singapore is that I was there with my friend's rich family. (Fun fact: I was actually only 17 at the time of the trip but since I'm tall even for a Western woman, no one questioned anything. Also, it probably helped that my friend's father is practically gorilla-sized.)

Fricking hilarious choice.

I actually agree. but how come Luna isn't Phil?

flarequake · Mon Jul 17, 2017 2:03 pm

I think there a few good choices for Phil. There are a few complaints in the twitter replies about them leaving him out, and also from a few like Hazel Hayes and Daniel Layton. I thought Trelawney might suit Phil. Psychic, a bit weird, a good performer and a bit of a troll

but Luna is a good match.

I can't sleep so I did some unnecessary research and discovered that darling Collin is the second most featured star on Dan's instagram. Out of the 285 insta posts, Dan has pictures of/with:

Phil: 100 times (give or take 3, I might have miscounted there's a lot)
Collin: 5
Cat: 4
Bryony: 3
Louise: 3
Pancakes: 3
Doggos: 3 (not counting Collin)
PJ: 2
Jack Howard: 2
Grandparents: 1

these are the number of times they physically appeared in a photo, not just referenced. There are other people who only appeared once like nick jonas (#dick #otp) and T Swift, but theses are the main peeps.

Something I noticed was it's been a looong time since the last Bryony pic...it's a small price to pay for internet fame, but it still must stink not to be able to take social media pics with some of your closest friends, that's what makes insta fun it's a unimportant thing, just something that caught my eye

haven't slept in about 28 hours so NIGHT ALL

Ooh thank you, I love being able to look at social media breakdowns like that.

I wonder if that's Bryony's choice? She has Dan and Phil in her instagram story once in a while, but that goes to a much more limited audience so it must be easier to deal with. Also comments are directly to her, so she's less likely to get as much casual cruelty - because everyone knows IG commenters love to comment on how people look, as though there's absolutely no chance the person they're talking about will ever read it.

And it shouldn't surprise me that over a third of his photos are with Phil, but...... lmao. Damn that's a lot of pictures together. Now I wonder how Phil's stack up?

Phil as Luna I can see.

Or Phil as Professor Sprout because of all the house plants

(I can hear my neighbours watching HP currently, I'm so tempted to watch one of them while I have dinner.. I've got the blu-ray box set... i'm home alone... i know for a fact that i'll decide to watch it and today will be the day that Phil uploads an hour long video introducing us to his Fallout lets play where he romances Palladin Danse plays a character the exact opposite of his AP persona )

He should probably mute Ed Sheeran as well.
I doubt he will get into talking about it that much because of spoilers. Anyone who has been watching his liveshows during seasons past know? I am curious as to how and when they are watching it. If it is legally (which they can afford to) they could conceivably watch it at 2am? Or is there a further delay in the U.K.? I watch it at my brother's (though my brother doesn't watch with us lol. It's his partner, our sister and her husband). I'm going to be out of town for a couple weeks so I'll need to catch up, somehow...

Come on gaming video today! Please.

They probably watch on Sky (premium subscription channels via satellite) which will show it at 9pm bst tonight on Sky Atlantic. Sky also have an on demand, online service called NOW TV (which is what I watch GoT on - about £7 a month so I just pay when GoT is on!) which simulcasts the main Sky channels and also has shows on demand. The first ep of season 7 was available to watch this morning (not sure when it became available...possibly as early as the US broadcast ).

+1 for gaming video tonight

I have Sky Go (thanks dad) which you get automatically if you have Sky TV and its everything Sky have to watch on-demand, online. It's available now so I'm guessing they've watched it on TV earlier today?

(I really don't like GoT though so I'm just gonna be confused about it for a few weeks)

autumnhearth · Mon Jul 17, 2017 2:58 pm

Thanks for the info guys ^^

Ooo good HP Phil choices! Though I think Dodie is a nice choice for Luna, I can see it for Phil. If Neville wasn't so glum that could work. Lol picturing Phil dressed up as Trelawney

somethingsketchy That's really cool. I didn't even notice the "1 Altitude"

Of course that was taken from a skybar.

I'm currently at the pool so obviously I got bored and decided I needed to spend my time in a more productive way lol

Most of Phil's posts are selfies which I'm grateful of

Out of 202 posts, Dan is in more or less 45 of them - featured, so not counting pics where he might be tagged or that somehow talk about him.

Couldn't be bothered to count posts with other people, but it's like 4 with his family. Still nothing.compared to.his pics with Dan

I mean, I didn't notice that either until today and that's why I hadn't made the connection to my own trip before.

This is probably a dumb question, but can someone explain the phrase "post-baking universe" to me? I'm still catching up on the years I've missed.

It's how people refer to the time period after the Monster Pops Halloween baking video, a video seemed to have been the turning point for a lot of Dan and Phil's behavior toward each other. From that point on there was more casual adult humor leading to more physical affection (that we saw in gamingmas and has continued on) and them in general just seeming way, way more relaxed with each other and with us.

The fact that it's something Dan himself addressed (on twitter and in liveshows) means that it's definitely not something that's all in the eyes of the fans. Dan himself is the person who coined the phrase 'post-baking universe' last November.

i was going to attempt to answer that but obviously dizzy swooped in and answered it far better than i ever could, but if we're asking questions about things that we missed out on, i've heard a bunch of stuff about dan apparently tweeting about being a bottom? please don't let this turn into a conversation about who tops/bottoms, it will actually make me scream

Ah yes - I remember this happening. I am such a D&P dinosaur. I'll link the video of Dan explaining himself. He is awkward, but I am definitely inclined to believe him as this is definitely something I would do myself.

EDIT - sorry I am on mobile so this isn't going well

As far as I know, that comes from Dan having made probing jokes left and right lately in several videos. Probing is the new choking or something?

edit: Wait, I think I misunderstood.

my other plausible explaination is that he totally knew what he was doing and wanted to create some hype. i could see it as a taylor swift-ian very calculated move/ trolling move - knowing his audience would flip out and maintain their interest. speculation is oxygen to the phandom.

but mostly, i think he thought it was funny and wanted to "keep" it somehow (similar to liking things on Tumblr)

bc what super famous person with a gigantic social media following would ACTUALLY "reveal" personal information like that via a tweet - I don't think he anticipated people taking it so seriously

Dan also addressed it at the beginning of the London Dapgoose event, at 5.20, he said they didn't know what happened, they were filming so late at night, as sparkle said, it was like anything goes (I'm not sure it was quite that late, but I'm not sure if you can see their oven clock in the video).

. and plus in the video tom said he had to take squidge to the shoot so does this mean we get more of dan interacting with a dog? sign me the fuck up.

although i'm not looking forward to the reaction the the video because half of the comments are bound to be dnp fans obsessing and being just extra and the other half is just going to be tom's fans judging them for it. i mean i could just not read the comments but i deserve to suffer (and part of me is just really interested in how outsiders perceive dnp and their fans)

Hmm, Tom said the video is a brand deal and that he's been working on the script for two months. It could very well be a Tinder spon video, right? It looked like the sketch is called "First Contact", which would be fitting, and we already know that Tinder rejected one of his scripts.
