Those aren’t the moon room curtains, those are the shades upstairs in their lounge that span the whole of the floor to ceiling windows, you can see the white pillar things too. Trust me, I just finish building both flats in The Sims. Don’t think they’ve dropped the filming flat yet. Will probably let them go at the same time. Anyone know what Dan says at the end of the second vid? It’s cut off.
In the ‘space face’ one it cuts off right as Dan says “Yes, oh you’re seeing that u—“ and I’m 200% certain he’s about to say uranussy. Because he’s exactly that terrible.
eta: of course. the curse of the top of the page strikes again
I have no problem calling them boyfriends because I don't think they need to keep confirming their relationship status over and over. The things they say and do speak loud and clear to me - I need no further confirmation. However, I do like partners more, and I'm still crying over Dan's "companions through life".
Anyway - Martyn is in the US too! Lester family roadtrip? (as in, two Lesters and one unofficial Lester? Maybe Cornelia too, I hope she feels well enough to go.)
Hmm I don’t buy bananas at Target, but in grocery stores they are sold by the bunch. I think I cracked the lady’s honey complaint. At continental breakfasts they usually have those little plastic single serving jams with the peel off top, they made honey versions too, think dipping at McDonalds or ever worse the tiny squeezable ketchup type packets at KFF. Often those things aren’t even real honey. Honey is one food that doesn’t need to be “fresh” it doesn’t really go bad unless it crystallizes. But she could have been complaining that it wasn’t natural or local. Truly an important mystery.
Ugh I just was thinking about how both of their profile pics on twitter are now not only complimentary but also assisted by the other and I'm just...ugh they have me super soft today and it's wonderfully awful. Really interested to see how the next few days go social media-wise though as vidcon starts tomorrow!

BTW, what’s the collective opinion on referring to D&P as “a couple” or “boyfriends”... using Dan’s own words “best friends”, “companions”, “soulmates” all seem a little stiff and formal. Is there any counter argument to just saying “partners” or “boyfriends”, or do we have to wait for them to use the term?
Even though I think Dan made the nature of his relationship with Phil clear in his video, I personally feel uncomfortable using terms other than those that Dan used in his video because it feels like I'm putting words in his and Phil's mouths. I've known people who have gotten legally married but chose not to use terms like "husband," "wife," "spouse," "partner," or "couple" for their own personal reasons. "Better half" was their term for each other, and I think "best friend," "companion through life," and "soulmate" may well be Dan and Phil's terms for each other. We just don't know, and I prefer to play it safe.

"Oh, God. Okay. I say: *shrug* [...] I'd be like, 'I don't know how this works. Put a condom on that thing. *shrug*'"
Dan Howell, 5/10/18 Try new things..?
When describing dan and phil's relationship to other people outside the phandom, I like to combine all the terms in one sentence "Dan's soulmate/roommate of 9 years/best friend/business partner". Because then people without any more context get the idea.
When I am in the fandom, I said "boyfriend" or "husband" when I want to be cheeky. But only in phandom discourse.
I've lived with my SO for 4 years, been together for 5 years, and I was in the hospital last week and they asked who was coming in pre-op with me and both me and my SO struggled to come up with a word. Just gave each other blank looks like "can we get out of this?" Literally avoided the question. Just said "That's ____"[SO's name] The most we'll call one another is statistically significant other or sooometimes partner since we do have some businesses together.
I dont know which otherworldly power to thank for this glory but I'm sorry nothing is topping this. Thank you very fucking much!!!! Good start to the vidcon/America 2019 deppy adventures!!!!!!
Actually, the only thing that can top it is a Jimmy reunion. But this is fucking brilliant!!!!!
The collab I didn't know I needed until this very moment! Someone definitely brought up the idea of Phil making a video with his first subscriber for AP before. Maybe he actually will, since they're hanging out at Vidcon.
Shit, where did I leave my low expectations? I swear I had them...

I swear I've read a fic where they put glitter on each others faces while giggling and joking. And I love that the went out with John! These guys are just too much
I've completely forgotten about the first 6 months of the year, what is a hiatus? Don't know her.
What is this AU that I have woken up in almost a month ago? Thank you to whoever sold their soul to make it happen.
Friends, I cannot overstate how much I LOVE John. I'm a serious John stan and I'm so happy I discovered him through deppy. I love his videos, streams, and just overall John. So to see them still keep in touch after all these years, especially now, is so so amazing to me. I'm sighing happily here and hoping they had the best time.
The fact that Phil used rainbow letters for Dan and John is like the cherry on top of this.
Dan saw me holding up an Antifa flag and acknowledged it so we went over to him to ask for a picture, we also got one with the flag in it, he was so nice [They also link their Instagram with the pic but I've never felt comfortable sharing pics of people, maybe scroll through to find it]
Just in case anybody wants something else to underscore Dan's political beliefs haha
That pic with John is lovely! They all look so much fresh since the last time it was taken. I hope deppy are having a good time in LA
Does anyone wonder what subreddits dan and Phil subscribe to? Obviously they prefer to keep their reddit profiles on the DL, so it wouldn’t be cool to go searching for them, but I do wonder if they comment/post incognito?
it’s the internet support group
