#wad premiere

what if i slept on the highway tonight

[mundaniel]

there's something about dan taking 5 minutes to gently and carefully cradle phil's head, meticulously angling the razer to get it just right vs. phil spending 3 seconds repeatedly knocking the razer against dan's eyebrow

hello <3

[lesbianphan]

Phil's orange carpet segment feels like those posts where you're like 'I could give a PowerPoint presentation about this topic for hours without preparation' and the topic is literally just the way Dan Howell looks.... in his clothes.

“i’ll go now, this is your thing”

“no you can stay”

and what if i killed myself

Hi everyone! A very cool person put this in my inbox and thought it would be a fun idea to have an online meetup this Sunday before the Orange Carpet Pre-Show begins!

It will be at 1PM CST, 11AM PST, 2PM EST, 7PM UK TIME, 8AM NZDT, and 6AM AEDT (sorry Aussie phannies). This is thirty minutes before the Orange Carpet Pre-Show with Phil begins and an hour before the actual livestream of WAD begins!

Rules <3

Post a picture of yourself in something orange! I know that some people are dressing up, so I would love to see your cuntiest most orange and black outfits <3

I would love to see people mention what Dan means to them or how he's impacted you! I hope he feels the love on Sunday because he's had such a huge impact on so many people <3

Use the tag #WADGALA (lol a play on the Met Gala)

Be nice!!! Make new tumblr besties <3

Don't feel pressured to post a photo of yourself either if you are not comfortable with that! If you want to just post what Dan means to you, go for it

This is an online meetup !!!

Enjoy WAD :)

We all love you @danielhowell and are so proud of you! You slay!

love that dan specifically told phil not to move the razor once it was touching him and phil immediately went at it like crazy

[moss-hearted]

sorry i know the wad livestream was supposed to be about dan but the moment phil took that fuckass orange jacket off it was so over for me

[lesbiandanhowell]

I am just sat here unable to stop smiling because I am just so so proud of Dan.

Everything he's done for himself and for us with this tour, everything he's achieved by creating it, touring on his own, creating such a momentum with our help. I am so proud of it and seeing how happy he is now with where he's at, with how he's able to admit wanting to do things with Phil together again. Seeing them both so open, so free and god so happy and sharing it with us. Their happiness is infectious and I am so happy for this community and the way we embrace their change and their happiness, the way we embrace and support each other. I love you all so damn much and I don't say this a lot so treasure it, yeah?

Thank you @danielhowell, @amazingphil and every single person in this community for creating something so beautiful and full of love, because it does exist :")

If I had a nickel every time I cried to all star by smash mouth I’d have two nickels which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice

[nukihowlter]

he got it on the left side which means we r never seeing that slit again

[mundaniel]

sometimes dan and phil are just two girls hanging out? like girls having a good time? girls enjoying each other's company? have you ever thought about that?

[goldenpinof]

gosh, can you believe we're about to enter the matching eyebrow slits era

[themarkofoxin]

i am not watching the stream but someone asked what mic phil is holding here

and the answer is it’s a shotgun mic without the windscreen. fascinating that they even have one honestly. shotgun mics are usually used as booms, so generally higher production-value stuff than they do. maybe they bought some for the dapg return church shoot? why not just rent them though.

also this is nitpicky but holding a shotgun mic like that and having it that close to your mouth is CRAZY guys oh my god. first of all shotguns aren’t great for shooting indoors because the pickup pattern allows it to pick up reflections of sound off walls because it looks like this

so that cross section in the middle is what picks up reflections. most professional audio people swap shotgun mics for cardioid condenser mics if they’re booming inside, because as you can see in this pickup pattern catches a lot fewer reflections from the back and picks up moreof what’s broadly in front of it.

which is another reason why it’s super weird to use a shotgun mic as a handheld announcer mic, because the narrow pickup pattern of the shotgun mic means you have to keep it aimed very directly at your mouth for the best sound quality. shotgun mic audio pickup falls off CRAZY fast when it’s even slightly off-cue.

anyway that’s all to say weird choice there. not sure why they did that. their regular mics are probably cardioid so idk why they didn’t use one of those!

HAPPY WAD DAY 🧡🖤
