Not an analysis, just my 2 cents on probably obvious for everyone details.
Dan’s doodle: drew symbolically his evolution as a person and influences he had throughout his life. Wants to be seen as a human with versatile personality and diversified tastes. Attempts to add puns / humour / self-awareness (price label). Little images look disconnected from each other (lack of focus, many unrealised ideas), but I think images are to be viewed in order, starting from center (the sun) moving up–right–down-left like that curly spiral in the top right corner:
Sun – he was a f**king sun from teletubbies.
#Lolzor – rAnD0m faze, etc.

- Staircase with door under it – harry potter reference? (cupboard under the stairs) – relates to him for being a looser as a child/teenager.
- Do not push button – aware/afraid of his tendency to do the worst thing and f everything up (like that particular work experience story he told about pressing the alarm and also as a metaphor).
- Doesn’t Sauron’s eye look a bit like vagina? (fyi)

Phil’s doodle: Definitely more single-minded person, more solid unified images. Bottom half of the page under the lizard creature represents dark, doubtful, unhappy period in his life. Upper half – presumably now – creative, uplifting, challenging (stars, rockets, futuristic weird unusual stuff). Interesting that many objects are in pairs: two ghosts (or octopi) next to each other, two trees growing out of checkered beast’s back, two ladders, two stickman figures upside down with Saturn between them, also two stickman figures throwing the Saturn in the right upper corner. Trees, planet - need for security net, home. 8-)

- He drew himself as many things at once – alien furry boy with anime eyes and whiskers wearing a clown suit?
- Thought bubbles with various images - considers himself a creative person with weird ideas, yes to thinking out of the box (nothing new here). A cassette thing may be a radio with antennaes?
- Spaceships, aliens, weird creatures - thinks that those ideas one day may turn into something amazing in future/bring success (world domination&power :D ). Dom!Phil confirmed.
Edit: oh top of the page, sorry it's already a bit offtopic


This is such a good analysis! I have to look at the pictures again!

tis a great analysis.

questions:
- is that a face with dark skin and large lips upside down next to the push button in Dan's?
- what do the words say in that framed picture in the same area?

Hahaha! felucca you should leave more often for the sake of content!
(i kid. please don't. we need you.)

Am I the only one who didn't think Phil was drunk? I have definitely tweeted the exact same thing very sober when reminiscing on Kenan and Kel. This, however, was hilarious to see on my phone:

I explained to her the context of the video after she saw it, and she decided that she thought the video was genuine. When I asked her why, she said, "When you love someone, it really shows. You can't just fake something like that without hurting someone. They would only hurt themselves and others around them by faking this. Maybe they realized that, which would make it fake, but I think they just thought they looked stupid and cheesy and were afraid of people judging them. I would be afraid of that, too. Either way, they seem to be happy."
I know this adds practically nothing to what we already know, but I thought it was sweet. Thinking about the whole thing gives me butterflies, and other people as well because we all know what it feels like to have feelings for someone. I'm sorry for bringing up old news, but I'm not sure what else to talk about at the moment. Different people have different views on this particular video, so I respect them and you should respect others' as well.
That's cute! I was waiting for a time to post something about the video but wasn't sure how it would be received on here (because it's basically death threats on Tumblr...) but I have been thinking about it a lot lately.
I was re watching the bonus Youtubers React video for Aicha when they were asked, "if someone did make a love letter type of video in this style for you what do you think you would do?" Phil says something like I would make one back and Dan gives him this look like "I can't believe you just said that!"
Video here starting at about 3:33


What if one of the birthday presents Dan gave Phil (as mentioned in the reasoning for voldy) was a video? I don't know if this has been talked about before but I would love to hear what you think!
Sorry this is so rambly...

Hello there! Long time lurker, blablabla...

I've been reading you guys since like the 20th phan thread back on GG, and finally decided to delurk. This place is soo much better tho, I'm really proud of you all.

So, when the fuck are they going to upload a new undertale video?

Wow good find faerietales, he definitely has a weird reaction to Phil saying he'd make a video back!
Also you're welcome everybody for finding fetus!Phil on the internet, do we already have the footage of D&P when they were in the audience of the Jeremy Kyle show or should I go hunting for that too? :lol: My archive site doesn't go back that far so I might struggle

Hi!! :D I'm glad you de-lurked!

Have some welcoming Dan and Phil flails.
And omg seriously, my biggest concern about their tour schedule is the very real possibility that they won't pre-record any Undertale and we'll be stuck with four episodes then a three month hiatus before more.

That is a definite possibility, maybe Dan was a bit more careful or his video just wasn't revealed to the whole internet. To me, it has always seemed like a possibility that Dan was very upfront with his feelings, and Phil didn't know how to react, so when Dan went on holiday he felt more comfortable with sitting in front of a camera and spilling his feelings out.
This has always seemed probable to me, especially because of Phil's actions described in the video... the way he wrote the message in the snow, it just seems like something an introverted person would do instead of saying out loud (that sounds like something I would do, anyway, because I'm exactly like that. I might be projecting juuuuust a little bit, but seeing how he acts in general leads me to believe that it takes him a while to open up to someone.)

that's actually something i've never considered before but i wouldn't be surprised

i think this was posted on gg back when it came out, but when felix did his reacting to my old videos vid he mentioned that he used to make videos for marzia

around 4:00
so yeah, definitely possible

Ugh. I envy all your TWL reactions. I really want to see it as well. I just found out about DD last week and gave up on guessing the password because I thought that I don't need it any way. Now I guess I need to speed up my GG back reading.
I just started lurking in GG 3 weeks ago. It's hard to read all 50+ threads especially when the website is shit. Thank u for IDB.
Re: Aicha video - I've seen the video after I've learned about the voldy video. I am not sure if it' s coz of Phan goggles but Phil was extra awkward and uncomfortable in that video. Also, Dan was talks too much. Too close to home? I hope Dan did something in return coz Phil's video was too sincere and heartfelt to be ignored.

When that Fine Bros. came out I thought the same thing!

Even if voldy wasn't a reply...I've got a gut feeling that they made videos for one another even if they weren't necessarily "deep love confessions". They might have sent short clips/updates if they couldn't skype.

1. The DD hasn't have the video yet. If you have read the last 3 pages you will know you need to send a pm to ___ or ___ and they will give you the link sorry I don't remember the users name

2. You don't need to find the password, use the other doc, the cherry one. Is the same.

Some random thoughts about Voldy...
I only quite recently watched the Voldy video for the first time, because I truly believed it was just a prank and thought it was something that the Phandom has blown way out of proportion. So I found it, 100 percent convinced it was just a prank video, started watching it and then....wow. I had to stop watching it half way through because I felt so guilty and invasive. It was so sweet and genuine. I still feel guilty now having seen it :? .

I was convinced it was real before watching it... maybe because I read a full essay about it
Today I was looking at the D&P calendar and find this

When it comes to it, I'm still torn between it being legit and fake... I see both sides and I don't know which one to take.
But! I showed it to one of my friends and she told me: "That is soooo fake. It's too cheesy and romantic to be true. Soooo

One more thing to the list of clothes they share

RE: The Fine Bros video. I've always thought it was possible that Dan had sent videos to Phil around that time (I mean...5 hours long Skype? won't be much different), and his reaction to Phil's comment kinda confirms it. I think he made the same face when Phil said that thing about the glass windows when playing the Sims4, like "...Dude...".

oh man. if we're getting back on the is-voldy-real train, let me hop on that. i'm in a ranty mood.

that video is the reason i'm #phanaf. i thought these two were over-shipped casual buds, but literally nothing about that video screams prank to me. the number of fake, absurdly romantic scenarios phil could have come up with and he stuck to real ones... nah.

tbh voldy frustrates me sometimes in that way where.... i'm truly impressed there are people who actively think phan isn't real, even with that being out in the world. literally any other couple... what an impressive feat of engineering this glass closet is. astounding.

hi so what could a shy little lurker whose input is not worthy enough to post regularly (such as myself) do to score the twl vid from the guardians of this treasure since it won't be going on the dd till monday?? since I'm assuming from the other posts that it's not given out to lurkers :oops:

finally hopping on this train after a few weeks of skimming both forums bc i actually stumbled upon voldy today on a sort-of accident and have been desperate to wax poetic about it ;;

it might just be my romantic heart but boy do i think the emotion in that vid would be really ?? hard to fake i had to keep pausing every few seconds out of sheer guilt bc the look in phil's eyes was just so darn Genuine and vulnerable i felt like i was reading someone's diary tbh and his voice would get soft and shy but also so sweet and sheepish - i really can't imagine there wasn't some kind of strong emotion behind the stories he was telling it felt too real my dudes

his entire demeanor felt like the personification of that butterfly feeling in your stomach - the fond voice and shy smile, it was like you could see this bubbling excitement as he'd recall things but it was also so reserved like a flurry of embarrassment that he pressed on with bc he wanted to convey just how special these memories were and just how much warmth they filled him with and go sh this is sappy isn't it

aNYWAY it just felt really genuine and got me right in the chest to the point that i Still feel like i need to get a good scolding about minding my own business and hi hello i haven't actually been on a forum in like 5+ years but hey it seems cool here

I feel like people who say stuff like that don't really know Dan and Phil at all though...to me, at least, they seem like they're both hopeless romantics at heart. I mean, just looking back at all their cutesy tweets from 2009 just proves how cheesy those two were/probably still are in private. Also, they were still definitely in the 'honeymoon' stage of their relationship which makes people a lot more starry-eyed and cheesy than they would be normally.
Also, going to stop talking about this after this post because I feel terrible. :?

since we're discussing Voldy, i'll put in my 2 cents.
A prank? really? that sounds like the excuse you would use in elementary school when you tell your crush you like them and then say "it was a dare!" to save yourself from embarrassment. :roll: i know they had little time to think of an excuse, but come on boys.

She is a fan and she did look at that stuff... Idk, I feel the way you do about that.

That's exactly the thing that makes me question it - why would he mention all of that, what can be proven by tweets and db if it was personal video? Why not mention something else, inside jokes and stuff? And why would he mention so obscurely? Also his smile feels really weird, but thats for whole another psychoanalysis. And that giant amount of jumpcuts... Even in the middle of a sentence.
But yeah those are my only counterarguments... Over all it feels personal and uncomfortable to watch. And it has very sweet concept to it. That would have been the realest feeling and maybe the cruelest prank they ever pulled off tbh. and if it was, then it bit their asses well, they would have deserved it

I must confess that I have never seen Voldy. I always thought I would be too cringe for me to watch as I can't stand second hand embarrassment. So I can't really add anything to the conversation!

Seeing as they have finished the tour rehearsals,I am a bit more hopeful for some (not that many :sobs:) gaming videos during the tour. They really have today and tomorrow to film loads and tbh they can edit on the bus if they need to anyway.
