Basically, they asked for Dan and Phil to "look at each other and smile", so not explicitly Heart Eyes Howell.
Thanks for telling me this. I was really curious about what she did.

Yeah. It would have been awkward. Glad Dan was game. It made for a cute m&g.
I'm not particularly sure if HEH is a real thing but there was really one interview that made me think it's mostly a stare directed at Phil. I think it was their Hillywood one where a pretty girl was interviewing them. I was trying to observe Dan's stares the 2nd time I rewatched it. I don't know if it's because of the phan goggles, but he looked at her differently than he looked at Phil. He looks at Phil with fondness, but he has this stare that he's laughing with the girl but it's not as fond. Or maybe I'm just trash. Since I'm kinda new and I haven't seen a lot of their other vids, I'll try to observe more videos wherein they collabed with other people.
What happened in Orlando makes me sick. The whole thing, I just... I don't know what else has to happen for changes to be made.
I'm happy that Dan tweeted, but would've been okay if he/they didn't. I thought it was worded well, and felt like it came from just enough of a personal place. I hope they talked about it on their own, processed it a bit together.

Thanks for the full pic. Is it just me or does Phil's hand look a bit awkward. It's a really cute pic though.
It does look a bit like a mutant- Also Dans hands are so large compared to Phil's- (I was going to go somewhere with this but it is Ramadan and I must keep thoughts pure ....)
Dan's hands look ginormous in that picture! I'm getting Deadpool baby hands flashbacks with Phil Is this just a perspective thing? I mean I know Phil's hands are further back but it doesn't seem like that much.

Behold Phil's beautiful bourgeoisie hands as opposed to Dan's

this is the kind of content i joined to see that top gif...
happy with dan's tweet, he expressed just enough personal opinion to make it genuine and heartfelt. the m&g photos are lovely, it's so nice that they can still bring happiness to so many people during such a horrific time

I found the tweet weird because either Dan or Phil have a tendency to address something and the other retweets. I wanted to have both make a statement but like the Christine tragedy we got one.
It was well thought out (probably why it took some time) and maybe even thought out together? I don't MIND it, but they seem to be very careful with the wording and the message.
But Phil just retweeting, are you even surprised? He has always been more "private" with his opinions.
I tend to view serious tweets from them as joint tweets, and yeah I agree they most probably sat down and draft it together.
I completely agree. I see those tweets as Dan and Phil tweets so one of them say it and then the other one re tweets it. Dan has said himself that he goes to Phil with a tweet and asks if he should post it so I would definitely say it was a joint tweet on such a serious matter.
The M & G photos just made me feel really happy last night. Like it was a little bit on sunshine in a terrible time.
Stay safe everyone.

Should we be expecting a public announcement in the next eight/ten days then?
probably in the couple days actually, a week in advance seems pretty standard for them. IF there is a video, that'll probs be around the time they go on sale
Lol omg that tour is gonna kill me. I swear. Good for Australians I guess. Though I am still perplexed that they would go to Australia and maybe some other places worldwide and when they have done only 2 dates in Canada and IN THE SAME CITY when it is their 3rd market. That's just weird to me. I am not surprised they are going to Oz though. They really seemed to want to do a (English speaking) "world tour".
(for reminder here are the biggest audiences for Phil's channel, probably similar for Dan too: US, UK, Canada, Australia, Germany, Sweden, Ireland, New Zealand, Netherlands, Singapore)
If you’re attracted to somebody, you’ll want them to sniff you eventually - Dan
*Phil is turned on by Dan's brilliance* *they kiss* *they have sex in the microwave* - Oqua (actually Phil)
the heart eyes howell thing makes me laugh so hard because 95% of the gifs are slowed down to make them look way more dramatic. of course you look more smiley and fond and comfortable towards a friend ofc they milk it and force it out more when people act like looking interested when someone is talking is revolutionary
my name is jaejmine masters and i have something to say. dan and phil have fucked up japan
phil lester threw the first brick at stonewall, we love a queer icon
I honestly hoped that the Australia tour would be closer to spring next year or maybe even the next summer and they would also do the European tour then. Guess we'll have to wait some more time until we actually see some kind of content from them, since they give us almost nothing (in terms of keeping up with them)
But anyway, good for you Australians, hope you'll have a nice time and enjoy the show
as opposed to Dan's
