No because the Golden Pig Fan Question™️ was actually so well thought out, verbalized, and presented and I was SO worried it was going to be something silly or way too invasive and then they IMMEDIATELY DID THE DAN AND PHIL ANSWERING QUESTIONS™️ THING aASDFFKGKHLÑSJFGJ guys PLEASE

scratching my eyes out brother WHYYY are they like this. the problem is what we did get, in the question + (dan's) answer, was SO GOOD. i love the question and agree with you, i think it was thoughtful and well-considered, paid a lot of respect to what they do as a CRAFT (asking specifically about which projects they would redo) while being cognizant of the fact that their personal growth journeys heavily influence their craft (asking what they would have done differently as the people they are now). personally this is the kind of question i wish dan and phil would answer WAY more — if only more people would ask them. like you said it can very often lean all the way parasocial (sometimes invasively but often just like — asking the questions you'd ask a friend, you know. and there is a place for those questions!!! i love those questions. just like, maybe not all the time?)

dan maybe didn't exactly answer what the question was asking but it was SUCH a lovely response and one that carried a lot of emotional weight for us as a community!!! idec that it didn't follow the question to the letter because i feel like it answered the essence of it — how would the person you are now retroactively affect a part of / the course of your career. to say he wouldn't have gone on hiatus is IMMENSELY healing imo, even if that can't actually be taken back and everyone who lived through it still had to live through it lmao.

phil initially completely missing the point of the question can be forgiven because he was being really sweet. it's clear what his brain prioritises and it's their relationship. obviously coming out about it has affected their careers hugely, and maybe that's the angle he was coming at it from — there is no one project he would have specifically redone as the person he is now, rather all their projects would have been affected for the better if they'd done it out and proud. VERY SWEET SENTIMENT. UNFORTUNATELY! RAAAAAAHHHHHHH BC WE NEVER GOT A REVISED ANSWER FROM HIM

this is where i feel like the phroducers could step in more. dnp's job is to yap and bounce off each other and go on funny little tangents but i think for the sake of creating an actual professional (high quality) product, the phroducers could act more as dnp's QC managers. dnp aren't gonna notice these things bc they're shooting the shit but the phroducers could!!! keep an eye on content while dnp handle the flow. especially important as this isn't some random richard ball this is the much-awaited golden pig question! anyway

[fryday]

dan failing to ensure phil answered The long-awaited and carefully crafted Golden Ball question and then phil immediately making sure dan answered the "do you trust birds" question. welcome to the dan and phil experience

i literally love them so much there are no two people in a relationship that i could've stanned more like they are best friends they're BEST FRIENDS!!!!!! each other's favourite person in the world. their no. 1. their go-to. their safe space AND partner in adventures. does it get better than this??

[fryday]

btw my fantasies literally consist of befriending someone and being close to them for years and years and only over time realising we're in love with each other and then getting married. which isn't the dan and phil uhaul story but the essence of the thing is that love is built on friendship and the way dan and phil have demonstrated this over 16 years and started explicitly verbalising it ever since the hard launch (see the heated rivalry reacts where dan goes on a long spiel about how just being attracted to someone isn't enough for a relationship to work, you have to actually be friends and like each other + like spending time with each other) shows how much they value that aspect of their relationship, so much so they consider it the bedrock on which everything else flourishes. it gets me mannn

ALRIGHT WATCHING THE EP NOW

[fryday]

really good moment in the photoshoot bts when phil goes "you know who my favourite top is" and dan looks at him expectantly and phil, who did not actually think this joke through farther than "this question would be really funny because it would make everyone think the answer is dan", goes "... [random man name that is Not Dan]"

[dandp]

And a classic example for everyone to see leading up to the preshows of only one of them actually answering the question properly, it not even technically being a direct answer to the question being asked, and then them moving on without going back to the other person 😭

[ahappydnp]

lowkey dreading the ao3 search bonus yap just because this is how the fandom police state starts back up in full swing. dnp light heartedly making fun of a fic (with zero ill intent ofc!!!) and then certain people take it as an excuse to monitor everything that is put online because "dnp might see it" and therefore private fandom spaces must be sanitized in case they become possible content

like pleaaseeee can we not gas that concept up and instead remind them that it's not For Them even in jest because those are real fans who did not want or expect them to invade their space. we have boundaries in the same way they have boundaries
