This just doesn't sound like a thing they would do, so it's probably fake. But who knows, maybe they are already desperate enough for thisAblissa wrote:As always, I jump in with an OT because I find something interesting and want to know whether it's real

Hmm the original source has no source themself as to how they know this info and seems to have deleted all past tweets sometime in December.Ablissa wrote:As always, I jump in with an OT because I find something interesting and want to know whether it's real

He's genuinely so awful and I don't trust him at all, but he was listed as one of the contestants on the show which makes me think he would know whether it was real or not, no? Maybe he's just shit-stirring by going along with it, but also could his acknowledging it mean that at the very least, the show is a real thing and BradTheLadLong is going to be on it?malday wrote: I wouldn't believe anything this guy spams, rt, or is involved in, people!
(a small trashy part of me wants them to be contestants tbh) (i mean,,, i'd actually love for them to be thrown into that kinda environment just to see how they'd react) BUT i'm 100% sure this is fake. They've said that they want to focus on YT and ""life things"" this year, and everything else surrounding this situation is just too fishy and vague to be real. Just another silly rumourmalday wrote: I wouldn't believe anything this guy spams, rt, or is involved in, people!

Yeah this guy's filled with shit. From what I recall he went from talking shit about Deppy (I remember him tweeting at Phil saying his new video would be really boring as they always are) to being really chummy and milking them for attention.malday wrote: I wouldn't believe anything this guy spams, rt, or is involved in, people!
Yeah, I get the feeling he (and maybe the journalist who posted the thing) is just trying to get a reaction from fans and everyone. Phil hasn't replied yet, I doubt he will. The few phandom replies are all calling him out on that too.SexyTrashCan wrote:Yeah this guy's filled with shit.

I agree with this and I don't think you are watching to hard. For people who seem to have been very careful and aware of what they are saying and the effect it will have, all this can't be accidents.fancybum wrote:I disagree with this so hard. Nobody wants to lick a piece of poison-flavoured plastic with somebody else's cold wet spit slathered on it, no matter who the spit came from. Herpes was just an easy joke. It's not a no homo moment, nothing they do these days is no homo which would be a clearly stated aversion (distaste) to something perceived as ~gay~. Any sexuality can agree to Just Say No to cold plastic spit (unless that's your kink in which case uh... enjoy... that..).secretagentphan wrote:I'd definitely consider Dan not wanting to lick the same game as Phil a no homo moment because he didn't just say it was gross he said he didn't want herpes *intense side-eye*
If anybody cares to, could you rewatch the part where they bring up the afternoon tea, think things about it and then share those things, because to me it felt like they both prepared to discuss it. As in they made a joint conscious choice to casually discuss their afternoon tea together. They planned on Dan 'popping in' and then planned on bringing up Phil's tweet (that he tweeted without context) and gave it context that involved just the two of them. And ok listen, I know roommates go out to eat together, and know things about each others clothes, and talk about buying expensive chocolate/food to be shared. I know. But I just feel them palpably doing. something. y'know? Like just constantly widening the boundaries they've set, giving themselves more and more room. Or did it just come off as actually casual and I'm watching too hard. Are we the frog being slowly boiled (but like.. minus the gruesome ending)?
I think I've got a bit conditioned to notice it, though I don't think I go looking for it. I didn't notice anything when I first watched them and thought people in the comments squeeing over a look or a touch were ridiculous, but seeing so much of that everywhere, high-pitched or low-key, it seeped in. I watch them for the bants, wit and humour, and how much I love them, though, the potential meaning in a cute moment isn't a motivator.missemma wrote:Lol that the arm vs leg debate is still going on.

The big brother style show that has been talked about, as much as they would never do it, I would love to see deps actually take part rather than just present it!

I watch for both them and the gameplay (or personalities in their non-gaming content), but here's the thing: there's only so much to say about a video framed around the gameplay. "That was funny and I liked it./The game was boring but this moment was funny./This game sucks." All of those are conversations that do happen. And then it ends until the next video. And especially when it comes to the games they choose to play, there's really not a lot of material there. I don't know if the same thing entirely goes for personalities as that probably does get discussed more, but personalities stay pretty consistent. The 'phan' aspect is something ongoing (in the sense that it's not definitive, we don't know anything about it in the same way we do about their personalities or how they played a game), so it attracts more discussion/focus. I would love more conversation outside just the phan lens, but at the same time, there's only so much to say? Like if you liked a video: you liked it, the end. Or the opposite. It would be boring for everyone to just pause until the next one, so the ongoing background conversation of their off-camera existence continues in the meantime. Am I over-explaining? I'll stop lol, hope that made sense though.missemma wrote: Also, just something I noticed, in many of deppys videos people are really concerned (maybe not the right word there) about them 'no-homoing' stuff.

Yes! That whole thing of them either trying to avoid mentioning doing things when it was just the two of them, or overexplaining when 'found out', was on my mind, but they'd already kind of chilled out with that, as in not seeming bothered/not overexplaining things. This felt different because rather than passively letting people assume things (? or whatever), they actively put that info out there when it didn't need to be. And no 'it was with our publishers' or anything to 'explain'. At least, it better not have been. with publishers I mean. 2 books is plenty.captainspacecoat wrote: There was definitely a time where they would have made sure people knew it wasn't just the two of them, such as that one liveshow (in like 2013/2014 maybe?) where Dan was telling the story of when he was on holiday in India and a spider fell on him while he was talking on the phone, only for Phil to later confirm he was the person on the other end of the phone and Dan became all flustered and tried to play it off as work-related. There was also that time on the radio when they were talking about seeing ball lightning at Phil's family house, and Dan was like "Er what were we doing again? Something for youtube" as if to ward off implications of them being together simply for the fun of it. They've definitely come a long way in that regard.
!!! Right?? I like thinking of 2017 as de-branding. Even if there's no end point (like a ~Final Reveal~ lol, that's just not their style), they're still making an effort to be different/less guarded with what they say and how they say it, even outside of the context of each other. It's just nice watching people loosening up. And fascinating to watch it consciously be a thing they're trying to do.QuiteFriendly wrote:I agree with this and I don't think you are watching to hard.

Is the cartridge licking thing really something people are worrying about? This is the only area of the phandom I keep up with so if people aren't freaking out on here about it I don't see it. I know we've had at least one poster on here say they considered it no-homo but is that the stance of a lot of people rather than the opinion of the odd few?missemma wrote: Also, just something I noticed, in many of deppys videos people are really concerned (maybe not the right word there) about them 'no-homoing' stuff.

While it's almost definitely fake, I was surprised at myself for low-key actually wanting to see something like that. Just to see how they'd interact with other people, especially a 'villain', in such a close-knit environment. But no way. The more I think about it the more I dislike the idea and how the whole thing could be twisted to throw someone under the bus. Also the idea of them watching the others safely from a distance and commentating while the others are thrown into the metaphorical shark tank, or them being thrown in the shark tank themselves, doesn't sit too comfortably with me.Ablissa wrote:As always, I jump in with an OT because I find something interesting and want to know whether it's real

Wow, I didn't know there were people who were really so worried it'd ruin their enjoyment of the whole video. I mean that moment in particular, I didn't take as a no-homo, because ew other people's spit, but I could understand if it was a pretty blatant no-homo moment it might feel like a diss to shippers. And I feel the atmosphere changes whenever one of them makes a no-homo comment and suddenly one or both of them (or other people in the room) look/sound a bit uncomfortable, so it just makes the moment stick out even more. Some radio show moments come to mind.missemma wrote:Lol that the arm vs leg debate is still going on.
