i LOVE how people interpret the drawstrings / cords on baph's waist as ropes tied to dnp's hands unironically. cuz it seems like smth that was completely unintentional but it ends up adding another meaning, almost red-string-of-fate-ish, tying them together. like is it by force or did they want to be bound in this way? there's allusion to bdsm/ropeplay here as well, connected to the devil tarot card's role with sexuality (as well as dnp's just general horniness i guess)

wrt the whole loss of innocence thing and ppl perceiving phil as being "betrayed," i hope my and a lot of other ppls comments arent being misinterpreted as, "therefore dan is innocent and was pulled into this by a leader." no, the point is they are both on equal grounds. in terms of behavior, they both act exactly the same with the main difference being phil acting as dan's (and subsequently our) guide. they are hand in hand at the end cuz they are one and the same.

wrt actual dan and phil AS Dan And Phil™, their differences are not as exaggerated as they once were and instead theres a lot more focus on their similarities and the bizarre idiosyncrasies that they developed alongside each other and influenced by each other. even in little ways like, phil obv talks more with a slightly southern english accent bc hes been living in london, but dan also says a few words with a more northern accent that he used to say southern (eg, bath).

dan being the one who sacrifices phil is not at a higher position than phil being the sacrifice itself. phil being the guide is seemingly at a higher position than dan at first, but in the end they are exactly the same. thank you for coming to my ted talk
