I'm catching up with all the DP discussions in a certain website and at some point it was discussed (and even generally agreed upon) that Phil's bedroom in London looks staged, like he doesn't really stay there, as opposed to his Manchester's bedroom that was always messy and Phil-like. It seems kind of sterile on Hazel's recent vlog, like he just places there random things on the shelves and that's it. What do you think?

He bought an expensive memory foam mattress for his bed whilst Dan's bed is the cheap one which planks kept breaking, so I think its good to say its comfier to sleep on Phil's bed.

BUT DO WE REALLY KNOW? Maybe they are all lies? Maybe the memory foam mattress is in Dan's bed? Why did Dan's beds planks keep breaking???? They don't just break from rolling over youknow....

(stop hating on the daddy)

I bought cheap beds before and believe me just by sitting on it hard can break those slim planks and I was then below 50 kg, so imagine a giant like Dan can do.

Phil kept boasting about his mattress and had a few of his collab guests on them so I think he might not lie about it but then who knows

Dan right now:

internetakeover wrote: I think your interaction can still fit with their behaviour here to an extent - I see Dan as more comfortable in interactions which are more distant, if that makes any sense, like just waving to fans and having impersonal M&G chats - he seems to very much stick to his rote compliments and 'thanks for watching our videos' ending, whereas Phil is perhaps more comfortable in more personal, less scripted conversations.

Just to run this analysis a little too far and to start reaching into 'this is bullshit speculation' territory: that also fits in with Dan saying that he's not always comfortable in social interactions in his personal life, in a situation where he doesn't have a mental script to run through/persona to play up. He's happy in a set, controlled role that he knows people can appreciate, and does seem to love that attention, but in personal situations it's quite a different form of attention - it's attention on him as a person they're interacting with rather than on the idea of DINOF that everyone already has in their heads at an M&G/tour stop. I don't know that Phil's possible discomfort with the attention is linked to that distinction in any way though, besides him perhaps being more confident in himself than Dan at least used to be, I imagine the screaming hoards are just quite overwhelming! (all love to the screaming hoards, just because I do my fandom slightly differently/am not that comfortable with crowds doesn't make me any different from them at heart!)

I'd actually love to hear missemma's thoughts on this having met D&P twice in less controlled situations, but I guess this is unfortunately pretty bad timing for that!

This came up. OK. OK, I admit, about a week into watching their videos I thought that their whole house was a set and there was no way that they actually lived there and filmed so frequently in their own private space. Everything was just too appointed and neat and it just feels sorta set-like? I got over this quickly but now that it's been raised again...hmmm...you know, it could be. But if it is, I don't really see it as a bad thing. Sure, they give the impression that they're filming from their actual bedrooms and living room and lounge but the impression serves its purpose. It gives you that intimate, homey feeling whether it's real or not. So we may never know the truth...but if it did turn out to be a set I wouldn't un- them for it. In fact, I'd be happy to know that they have some completely private space in their lives

oh god. i just found out that gaby & allison (they're two girls who used to work at buzzfeed, an article gaby wrote about being broke & famous on the internet went viral a few months back, they totally play up their ship) aren't actually roommates. Before that, they presented like they were best friends (and I'm sure they are...) that lived together in the apartment where they shot all their videos. Turns out gaby either never lived with allison or moved out and they continued to "maintain the canon of the show," as they said.

that said, i think it's safe to say that is not what is going on with D&P *knocks on wood*

I don't think either bedroom is fake. I think having two bedrooms is very convenient even if they mostly sleep together in one or the other, and the rest of the time they're just treated like separate massive walk-in closets and filming spaces.

But I am one of those people who highly values having a space that looks and feels like my own so even if they didn't film in bedrooms I'd think it was probably healthy for both of them to have somewhere that they feel like retains some individual identity, since the entire rest of their flat is definitely a mix of the two of them.

I have always been suspecting that their bedrooms look like set, but y'all made good points why they are probably not and also used for living.
They only choose to show us specific parts of their flat when they look the way they want us to see them (not only cleaned out but also with everyday items out of the shot), that's why it may seem to sterile. Like their flat is transformable and can be the set and also is their personal cave with all hoarded toys, posessions etc. But all those decorative items are on display not only because they like them this way, but because it is sometimes a background for videos/because they want guests to have a certain impression about their personalities/because they are given a lot of interesting stuff etc.

Though I wouldn't put it past them to have a room/flat that they have never showed us.

Re: Summit - they planned their tour really well to fit in with playlist, vidcon and the summit. I'm impressed.

On the other hand, wow, they get almost no days off as it is and they're spending one of them planning more events. They are not shying away from the packed schedule.

I hope people are out in full vlog-and-snapchat force today.
