a very happy birthday to my favorite closeted furry<3 blasting someone with my fursona beam is the highest form of praise a boy like me can give. The power of creation is to be used for affectionate evil i think

(I know phil has gone on record saying he would be a lizard, but we celebrate him every other day of the year. This is Dan Time. and as the resident dannie, i veto the lizard in favor of phil-lion. If we’re gonna get specific, we’ll say dan is a sloth bear for their unique mullet potential-- which, due to the pose, is sadly not pictured here)

if i could get real for a second, the birthday boy means the world to me. dan has been a constant symbol of joy and empowerment in my life, and i have so much respect for him and his work. he's been a huge driving force in my own self-improvement over the years, and i couldn't be more proud of the incredible person he's become. he may be the reason i once described a cookie as "orgasmic" in front of my mother, but he's also the reason i found joy in the most suffocating darkness at my worst, and now remember to savor this hard-earned peace at my best. so... i think it balances out. (i still blame him for my funeral-clown wardrobe, though.) happy birthday, dan. cheers to this night, and to many more <3

Sometimes I remind myself that both Dan and Phil will get more mature and leave YouTube. They won’t be attending SiTC or Playlist Live anymore. Their jobs are as radio show hosts. They’ll find a girl who they think is best for them and get married, move into separate houses, have a family and be happy. I just hope they’ll think of YouTube and who they were, AmazingPhil and danisnotonfire before they take their last breath.

rebrand content predictions

i say "predictions" in heavy air-quotes, it's really more of a pleading poke and a nudge to the universe, but there's 3 things of varying likelihood i would love to see in the new era below the cut. walk with me

REBRAND TRAILER (most likely) ooooo you wanna do another goofy trailer soooo bad. you wanna do more silly short film content soooo baddd the revival one was such a blast, and the sequel/subversion potential is Right There. listen i know deifying me as a prophet with my screenplay "pitch" (read: poorly disguised fanfic) might have its challenges, but consider: it would be so awesome. it would be so cool

PODCAST/STREAMING (plausible. here's how phodcast can still win. kind of) listen. now hear me out. i've been on team longform yapcast from day one, and i know plenty of other monologue-loving roombas feel the same. BUT. i feel like (assuming their setup doesnt go on the fritz) semi-consistent streaming (with uploaded/edited VODS) could scratch the same itch, hence why i lump them together. here's what i'm squinking. all the cool stuff they got to do with radio 1... BUT. full creative control. it's hot. its vogue. its full-circle. its got endless possibilities for segments and games and... dare i say... audience engagement.... imagine, if you will... similar formatting and segment ideas to my beloved dystopia daily... but live, on-stream, and with phil's brilliant mind manning the fun little games and tonal balance. bespoke activity area i miss you every day

DAN AND PHIL TRY ___ (not impossible, but of the three, my least likely hail mary) for those familiar, think something vaguely akin to The Grumps' Ten Minute Power Hour series, or something like Unus Annus (especially the ones where they go outside and goof off). for those not, imagine a sort of reclamation of the II era-- the "giving the people what they want" style of content. this time around, the guys challenge themselves to do stupid shit (like conjoined baking and codependency yoga) on their own terms. they're giving the people what they want. said stupid shit could be as small as trying food they've never had before or as ambitious as... i dunno. mini golf. naturally though, each video would have its own spin, and one unique to them. suffice to say. this would be beast as hell

that all being said, i love them, which means i love everything they make. i mean it with my whole fart when i say nothing they do in this new era content-wise would even remotely disappoint me-- i'm all over that shit, whatever it looks like. between both of their creative prowess, they've more than earned my excitement <3 phrebrand, i await you with open arms <3

on this beautiful dawn, i would like to hog the mic for a sec for a phan twitter/tumblr tag video appreciation post<3 super excited for the new era, but even with the less ambitious videos like these likely taking a backseat post-rebrand, i love them so goddamn much<3 you guys are SO FUNNY. probably my favorite running series to date<3

Messaging people for the first time is so hard. What am I supposed to say? Like, "You seem really odd and your blog intrigues me. Do you want to have philosophical conversations or perhaps talk about fictional characters?" What! Whatever. I will just follow you back and stare at your blog with my big beautiful brown eyes.

Phwoah dads,

Calling all phannies!!

Have you ever wondered how many of those phannie stereotypes are true? Can we really all be lesbians? Do we all fit into the 4 G’s of the Dan and Phil demographic? And most importantly, do we all agree Sister Daniel is hot?

Now’s your chance to find an answer. The huge data nerd that runs this account made a Phannie Census to ask everyone these questions. The survey consists of demographic questions and questions about some common phannie stereotypes and should only take about 5 minutes to complete. If you, too, are curious about these results, please take the survey and reblog for sample size!
