2026

KNOW WHAT YOU WANT TO DO AND DO IT

EVEN WHEN IT FEELS LIKE YOU WOULD RATHER DO ANYTHING ELSE YOU WILL LOOK BACK AND THANK YOURSELF

IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW LONG IT'S BEEN. YOU CAN ALWAYS START AGAIN

ALL OF US ARE GOING FORWARD. NONE OF US ARE GOING BACK

STRETCH YOUR WRISTS

YOU ARE A HOUSEPLANT. WATER AND FEED YOURSELF ACCORDINGLY

REMEMBER THAT YOUR LIFE IS BIGGER THAN EVERYTHING THAT WANTS TO EAT IT AWAY

THINGS ARE MADE TO BE USED EVEN IF IT MEANS THEY MIGHT BREAK

MAKE MORE ART

LIGHT THE GOOD CANDLES

YOU CAN ALWAYS START AGAIN

THE DNP QUESTION™ TOP 50

There were many responses to my form, from across Tumblr, Twitter and Reddit. Many were unserious. My methodology was largely nonsensical and I will spare you the exhaustive list of replies (unless you do win the golden pig, in which case my inbox is always open).

Some are more enlightening than others (some I just found funny). Do not shoot me I am but the messenger.

First up: most common questions

What was the #truth behind the hoodie strings conspiracy?

Was Dan actually @/philslion on Twitter?

Next, the highlights:

*Disclaimer* I’ve done some condensing! Apologies if I've butchered your question in the process.

Also I have not seen every single preshow Q&A so i’m just running on vibes here.

Also also there were lots of good questions I haven’t included in this snapshot! You all deserve the pig 🫶

A Question for Dan and Phil

What are the other questions on Phil's 'questions for after death' list? Does Dan have any?

If one of you has beef with somebody does the other person automatically have beef with that person? Please use a detailed story to illustrate your answer.

That’s it for now! I'll probably keep the form open for any stragglers ‘cause i'm a deeply nosey person at the end of the day.

This was a very interesting experiment that I may never repeat out of fear xx

I would posit that when—First off, it's fun to laugh and second off, sometimes when someone else laughs, it's very funny and then that makes you laugh. So I think that there might have been much more laughing at each other trying not to laugh. Yeah. Is this you explaining why you were crying laughing? Yeah.
