DAN AND PHIL CHRISTMAS VIDEO MESSAGE GIVEAWAY
Yes, you did read that right. I was somehow one of the 50 randomly selected out of 4,000 people to receive a video message from Dan & Phil due to buying their holiday merch within a specific time frame (posted about here) and now, I’m giving it away.
Why am I doing that, you ask? Because in the past two years, I’ve had the privilege of meeting the boys three times, seeing them in person 13 times at different events, and got multiple notices on different social medias more times than I deserve honestly. I’m forever thankful and grateful for being given all those opportunities, but I’ve had more than my fair share.
So when I read the message and it said this:
I immediately messaged IRL back and asked if this meant the video message could be addressed to someone other than the person the email named. They said of course, because it would be the same as if a parent bought items for their child and the child was really the one the message giveaway would be for.
One of the things Dan said to me when I met him at VidCon U.S. back on July 13th was, “It’s not easy, but it does get better.” And you know what? It has gotten better. And Tumblr was a big factor for that. This website and blog is my escape from reality. I can come here to talk about anything - freak out about my faves, rant about stuff that pisses me off, cry about my sorrows, etc. Of course it’s not healthy to rely on the internet for emotional support, but y’all really have shown me a type of love that not even people in my real life do over the years. I feel comfortable and safe here. And there’s no way I could ever repay everyone for that.
But I thought this could be some way that I could give back to the community that’s given me so much.
The rules are simple because they aren’t really rules:
- Only reblog this once. Doing so multiple times won’t raise your chances because I’m only entering usernames in once. Likes will not count as entries.
- You must be okay with giving me your email address it’s required for IRL Merch to send you the video.
- Your DMs must be open the day the giveaway ends so that I can message you asking the following, which is the information IRL asked the winners for: Name for the video, name pronunciation, and an email for the video to be sent to.
- You don’t have to be following me to enter, but it would be cool if you did! *finger guns*
Like with all my previous giveaways, all usernames be entered into a randomizing generator and randomly selected. Then I will privately message the winner (I don’t do public winner announcements due to jealous hate being sent to winners in the past).
The giveaway will end December 13, 2019 at 7pm EST/December 14 at 12am GMT (D&P’s time). Since the information must be submitted via email by December 15, I want to have everything submitted one day early just to be safe.
I hope to make someone else’s holiday season as good as the last few years have been for me with this.
Good luck, happy holidays, and thanks for everything!
