Now I know that 1: they were made public back in the day and 2: you said you wouldn't post them publicly, but this is why people are iffy about it. They have since been removed because Dan didn't want them to be shared. The ones he showed himself have already been circulating for so long that it's impossible to do anything about it, but if there are more I'd refrain from posting publicly about it.

The moment that Dan uploaded his video, my youtube recommendations shifted from all sorts of random crap I don't care about to 100% Dan and Phil. Love that for me. (It's kinda weird because I did regularly watch their videos prior to this too.)

Anyway, youtube decided to remind me that this gem from felucca exists, so I'm sharing it here in case you all want to smile too.



Oh, and since alittledizzy shared that cute video earlier, I'll share one of my favs as well so you can feel soft.

thank you queen! I thought that I definitely checked you channel for it though, now I should save this video for future reference

I want nothing more for them to be comfortable and unique and do their own thing in whatever expression of their relationship that suits them, BUT if they ever get to this level of couple publicly like Troye and Jacob, I would squeal and implode at the same time...

Dan got shadowbanned on twitter.

I saw that but I don't fully know what it means or why it happened? His tweets are visible. It seems like a search ban? But why?

It seems to mean that his tweets won't show up in a search (which I tested, they don't) and that if you are reading a thread he participated in you'd get the This tweet is unavailable message. (Which is good to know. I've wondered before why I'd see that from someone not on priv who doesn't have me blocked.)

This. It's not that hard actually. Yes, they used to be public, I remember. I also remember he deleted them. Just because something was public once doesn't mean it's fair game forever when the person decides it should not be public anymore. If he had wanted these to be public again, he would have put them in the video. He didn't, he used the ones everyone has seen anyways to explain the situation. We all have different opinions about where to draw the line but I think respecting his boundaries by not sharing stuff he doesn't want public anymore, even if they used to be public once, is a good start.

Shadowban: What the hell, does anyone know why?

This is up there with the time Phil got suspended on Facebook for impersonating AmazingPhil

lmao why now? he hasn't even tweeted in a couple of days
idk how it works but i feel like it would make more sense if it was at the end of last week when there was a lot going on

and lol i forgot about phil getting suspended for impersonating himself

Twitter, we do not want Dan to disappear from the internet again. Get it together. There's few forces more powerful than a pissed off gaggle of phannies.

Dan's instagram stories have me feeling all kinds of emotional. And it looks like they went with Martyn and Cornelia to see Rocketman! Double date vibes living strong.

I love these new stories. I love Dan essentially acknowledging his absence and making it clear that he's back and he intends to post and he's around and also... homosexual. Y'all heard dan gay, right?

I love that Dan's branding is now just emotional and homosexual. And that he's in that Loud Gay Who Reminds Everyone He is Gay all the time phase.

my heart. I really do love this era and I can't wait to see what's next.

What I wouldn't give for a joint liveshow right now. Discuss video, shadowban, rocketman, be sneaky about vegas trip.

I'm dead

Wait, no. I think I missed this. Where did you see this? Is there a tweet or an instastory or a video or something about this? I don't feel like he's said anything!

Oh, Dan cute (also gay, don’t forget), thriving and flowery. Love that they had the Coke floats in those fancy jar glasses, of course they did. I’d forgotten about my recent week in the Taron Egerton fandom (it takes me that way sometimes), but that film looks so good.

i'm loving these updates!! i've missed random social media updates like this

and 'extremely emotional and homosexual' same dan
i love all of these constant gay reminders bc feeling comfortable enough to do that is a pretty great feeling

I genuinely let out a squee when he said that he was thriving, like I'm just so happy for him.

I'm just so proud and happy for him!!!!! You can really feel the relief and ease through the screen :')

Nothing else to say, this is beautiful.

A thriving Dan is all I’ve wanted these past couple years. Who knew it would take coming out for him to achieve that? He’s happy and gay! Gay gay! Happy happy! This is just the best timeline (as long as you stay out of the phan tag on Tumblr)

I agree with all the above comments - loving Dan’s insta stories today

However thanks also to Ablissa for posting the Phil’s POV video - so cute!

I saw he had a video about something to do with being gay but I think he just meant happy? Or maybe it was a joke?? Idk tho

Apparently Tessa Violet retweeted a tweet that said some negative things about fanfiction (specifically larrie and phanfic) she knows dnp pretty well and her replies are interesting
