Dan & Phil Part 30: I want your ass

[alittledizzy]

Re Bryony:
Yes, she is annoyed by the phandom, who isn't, but she really annoys me. I know she's friends with dan and phil but she has her own life and its not particularly interesting and she takes herself too seriously if she is getting frustrated by 12 years spamming comments. Yeah, it's an annoying situation to be in and I sympathize with her to a certain extent, but she isn't a special snowflake

Yes, I totally agree. Like I get it when she was annoyed because of the stalking in Cyprus, those fans really crossed the line, but getting butthurt about some comments on twitter and instagram? She isn't some old granny who doesn't know what internet is, she knows how fandoms work and that you will always find some people that are annoying. Look at wirrow, he is even interacting with people who have d&p icons and you could tell he is in the same position as her. idk, mabe if I was in her situation I would have a different opinion but I always thought that she doesn't take herself so seriously.

Why is quietly removing people who bother her and privating her account an overreaction? As far as I can see she hasn't said a single thing to a single fan. What she's doing seems like the most mature way to handle a situation you don't like online.

I just thought that she wouldn't be bothered by it to the extent of privating her account. Guess I was wrong. And a lot of the people she is blocking genuinely enjoy her tweets and are not waiting for some phan info. But I agree that things would be so much worse if she started picking up fights with fans.

I think it's because it all escalated from a domino-effect of events, rather than her doing it discreetly while nobody noticed. From the sound of her blocking spree it seems like she's done this for a while so all of a sudden it went "usual" commentary by immature phans -> mild shade from other phans -> delete the picture/interactions -> privatise twitter. So why now did she suddenly decide it was too much and privatised?

Like, all I mean is that the escalation seemed proportionately over the top because she's been dealing with phans for years now and never resorted to this. Not that "this" is anything horrible but surely there's been worse. So it gives off a bad impression rather than if it had happened without the drama surrounding it.

Am I making sense?

I understand what you're saying but her actions still make the most sense to me. She was suddenly met with an influx of people solely interested in Dan and Phil and it was annoying/frustrating enough to warrant action from her whereas she might not have bothered if it was just the normal amount of people asking her about Dan and Phil.

I wouldn't say it's an overreaction, but if she didn't want to draw attention to her actions or anger anyone, she could easily make a second twitter that's private and only her friends are allowed to follow. That's a common practice, there are a few people on my feed that have a public twitter and a private friend twitter. I think that'd make the most sense for her since going through all her followers and blocking everyone having anything to do with phan would be timely and nearly impossible, as some phandom members just maintain regular twitters.

And a lot of the people she is blocking genuinely enjoy her tweets and are not waiting for some phan info. But I agree that things would be so much worse if she started picking up fights with fans.

I agree that it's better than picking fights but it's definitely going to bother a lot of people. And yeah, what about her casual followers?

Bryony can do whatever she wants but I personally feel like there was a better way to handle this. I'm not affected as I wasn't even following her, just my opinion.

[jesuisunèléve]

Speaking of Deps...they've been quiet. DAPGOOSE LA is tonight, and I hope things go well and the protests won't cause a whole lot of issues, IF the protests are still going on down there.

Up here it's still madness at 5PM, when they have been starting the past five nights. Currently there is a massive student walk-out going on, blocking traffic all over town.

[RiriPandaHeart2]

Apparently arrived at LA. Do we have any confirmation that they just got there? Or is this a misdirection?

Hell would freeze over before i would go through the trouble of making a new account and getting all my friends to follow just so a few people don't notice i don't want their attention.

I just think it's funny that everytime some friend/partner of a youtuber whines or argues on social media about getting unwanted attention, everybody says they should just make their account private etc. And now that somebody is doing that it's not enough either

Btw, is she really blocking everybody? I still follow her on twitter and i haven't been blocked. I don't have a deppy icon or name, but pretty much the only thing i do on that account is like deppy tweets. Are we sure she's blocking everybody? Or just the ones who comment about deppy on her posts?

[jesuisunèléve]

So where would it go if its not on their channels?

Where's Dan?

[SquishPhan]

I'm not sure I believe that he just arrived.

This excites me.

[blueapple_x]

Where's Dan?

My guess is the publisher's YT channel. I was originally expecting that if they filmed it, it would go on AP but I guess not. I'm guessing the people they asked to film it are different to the people who filmed the London dapgoose.

[somelikeitpink]

okay is anybody here going?

If you do, and you don't have a question to ask or don't mind writing a second one... could you please add mine?
I won't be up to tweet it

"
There were thank yous to a lot of people in the book - if you had to write thank yous to each other, what would you say?"

Cause I really really really wanna see them answer that.

[DryCereal]

Where's Dan?

He's in London, obvs... only Phil went to America... they're two separate people not joined at the hip y'know...!!

[eevee]

Where's Dan?

Interesting that phil just said "arrived in LA" and didn't specify who...just him? him and Dan? could be either...sneaky

[jesuisunèléve]

Where's Dan?

*sporfle* Sure, Jan!

Unless Phil is doing DAPGOOSE by himself? PLOT TWIST

OK, I am not going to lie. My world will be realigned knowing these two dorks are back orbiting one another again.

She is definitely not blocking "everybody" - her following list dropped by a hundred or so in the past twelve hours. My guess is she's blocking people whose names come across her mentions or who are interacting with the posts causing her the biggest pain in the ass. Maybe some people are caught in the crossfire that had nothing to do with it, but - less than 150 out of 12k, it's minimal.

(Only quoting that bit but I agree with your whole post. She's doing exactly what people said that she should do last time, but suddenly now the way she's going about it isn't good enough? Eh. It's her twitter, it's her choice.)

[sweetmm]

Whoah I don't remember Bryony's twitter being protected. This must have been recent, after the events

EDIT: This vine popped up on my dash and I immediately thought of Dan and Phil

Ditto

Bryony had always rubbed me the wrong way since her paperlilies days, but she has the right to do whatever she wants with her media accounts as far as I'm concern.

By the way there was someone here that has the digital copy of may I know who it is again so I can PM, my copy arrived and it is the USA version and I would love to have those pics/pages not censored in the original UK version.

[MultipleKitty]

im so sorry. i was just sort of rambling. they dont need to change at all, its me being shitty and sad and im sorry. heads so fucked. sorry for sounding selfish and not apprecitative. you're both right, i don't have to right to criticise them at all.
again, i apologise. i'll delete the post later on. personal issues clouding my judgement

There's no need to delete the post, or to apologize! I disagreed with what you were saying, but you still have every right to state your opinions.

I re-read it, i come across as a very salty human being. im apologising because im sad and having personal stuff and i decided to rant it all out on this very lovely place talking about lovely humans who have actual produced alot and recently too. please, if you read my post, just ignore it. im just not having a good day/week. just me being a total idiot

i'm sorry, you're feeling bad/sad and sending you big hugs, blankets and smiles!

[Artdefines06]

Sorry that i wont get to meet any of you lovely people, but I have decided to stay home. Vromans says I can pick up my book at their store anytime. Its getting cold and dark and traffic-y, I am driving a rental suv I'm not comfortable in, and I have no one to watch my dog. I'm just going to curl under a blanket and do homework.

[dans left hand]

That person who told those girls commenting Phan on bryonys picture apparently isn't even in the phandom and has a animal crossing fandom account? Weirddddd

Imagine if it was bryony on her animal crossing fandom account lmao, that would be great.

I enjoy bryonys tweets a lot and I can see why she gets annoyed. Dan and phil are just friends to her. They're nothing special to her like they are to 12 year olds who want to get excited about every single dan and phil thing posted. Why do they have to reply though? It's better to be silent about it because then you get more lmao.

Tldr: animal crossing fandom account telling 12 yr olds under bryonys pic to grow up.

I like bryonys humour / tweets.

I definitely don't follow her for dan and phil. I don't even follow peej lmao

[alittledizzy]

Quick roundup of some of the pics that didn't make it into the book from tonight's DAPGOOSE.

[Philena]

And my personal fave, which I'm assuming was taken by Phil.

[blueapple_x]

[alittledizzy]

I wonder when that was taken? Bc she tweeted about being in line for Dan and Phil 14 hours ago, and posted the airport pic six hours ago. But she flew yesterday so I wonder if Phil actually delayed tweeting that he was in LA for a full 24 hours?
