ART IS IMPORTANT ‼️

[ID: Digital art of Daniel Howell and Phil Lester from "DanandPhilCRAFTS - Slime" as the tarot card "The Devil". Dan stands on the left, holding a heart in one hand and Phil's hand and a coiled rope in the other. Phil stands on the right, holding Dan's hand and the rope with one hand, and a knife in the other. Dan looks forward blankly, spattered in blood, while Phil stands with his eyes closed, a gaping wound in his chest. They stand on an altar mat, while a large red goat-like satan stands behind them, a hand on each of their shoulders. The card sits on top of a printed out government document from GCHO, which has been heavily blacked out and is splattered with blood. End ID]

i do genuinely love the use of clickbait in dnp's titles not just cuz it's wildly fun (though it is) but also because it was maybe one of the first signs of dnp not quite reclaiming but celebrating their unique relationship with their audience. it was dnp showing they were getting in on the joke with us rather than shying away from it, and what a turning point that was for everyone. it was maturity and also healing. and now it's just fun. it's SO fun. i could continue rolling my eyes at (while still secretly getting mini heart-attacks from) their batshit titles till the end of time and i'd be happy

I'm loving all this analysis so much and there just keep being more layers to it. I know this was an April Fools gag, but there was obvsiously so much thought put into it and I need them to do more things like this. I'm not even a horror person usually, but I'd love more weird indie horror like this, or even other genres/mediums. They both have a lot of passion and talent and I really want for them to be able to express it in interesting ways.

In a way, April Fools has given them the "excuse" to do that, but I want them to not have to be restricted by any kind of expectation. Do more weird indie fiction projects, D&P!

Daniel Howell: WE’RE ALL DOOMED! (Full Comedy Special)

[1001lobotomies]

the fucking 🧡 reply kills me because it’s earnest. we’ve had over a decade of jokey, ironic replies to any show of emotion. but this is just so fucking earnest. augh my fucking heart.

[simplydnp]

I thought they'd already used a red heart on twitter?

yes, anon, you are correct. it was a birthday tweet from dan to phil.

at the time... whew. it was a lot. universe shifting. rules being rewritten. it was a big deal. thing is, birthday tweets between the two of them have always pushed the line of sappy, and, generally, we let it slide. we didn't want them to ever stop the sweet birthday tweets. cause they're not really just for them, they're also for us. and, for me at least, it was always a little bit like... birthdays are private yknow? it's their things. so even though we went wild over the heart, there's plausible deniability there; it's a birthday tweet. they almost exist in a vacuum--never talked about by them after it happens. it absolutely set the tone for the year, even if we didn't know how much at the time.

but this, today? oh boy. oh god. alright.

they're both wild. but this is another level. firstly, phil's tweet. that is an extremely public declaration from one phil 'i dont cry' lester. he hardly ever shares those moments and experiences with us, so admitting it at all was like wow okay this is serious. the attempt to downplay the emotions but also hit harder with 'danny' like an overly fond nickname can save it. catastrophic. phil tends to keep all that close to his chest. but instead, he chose to broadcast it for all of us. he could've told dan (who was absolutely sat next to him) this. and i bet he did. but i bet he also needed people to know. everyone to know. as he posted it to both twitter and youtube.

and then dan. self-admittedly bad at taking compliments. known for talking extensively. always down to snark/self-depricate. replies with a heart.

no minced words. no disregarding praise. and not even a black one like he usually does. it's orange. on theme and in our face! the next closest colour to red.

he didn't have to say anything. but we once again find ourselves witnessing another intentionally public response. specifically chosen.

what does it mean? ask them. but it's fucking loud.

[wildflowers-and-madness]

dan: irish accents are the hottest accents

phil: *immediately starts doing an irish accent*

[philsjumpers]

it's like i know dan and phil are both gay men but phil is also a lesbian and dan is also a woman. but phil is not a woman and dan is not a lesbian. hope this helps
