okay i have a bad feeling about some phan stuff. i think this is the beginning of the end. because whenever they speak about it, they're like "best thing we've ever done" and "containing all our memories in the book" as if it's this thing that symbolises finality. i have awful feelings that by the end of all of this, they're gonna go their separate ways or something along those lines. i'm rly sorry to vent this to you.
hey, hey, hey, its okay. you seem quite affected by this, huh? (sorry if ur not omg). i see what u mean, and i know lots of others think the same thing, but i really dont think this is whats happening. i think they are just riding this high while its still a thing. we dont know how long youtube is going to last, and i think dan and phil are just trying to preserve this thing while its happening you know? it doesnt mean its ending after this, i mean it could get bigger still or it could stay the same, who knows, but i think the reason they are doing it now is because they got the opportunity (yk, the publisher etc).
look at those quotes, they’re in present tense, right? i really dont think they are going to end it. its hard to say in words, but its just like marking a milestone, just in an epic way. for us, preserving a memory could be filming something, but for them, preserving something and helping this business is making a book. (remember there is money involved. judging from what dans said, it really does seem that the book is because they wanted to do something really epic and its the best thing theyve done, and that makes me really happy, but money is also a thing). the tour will go on for quite a while, and i think its just because theyve had the idea, had the opportunity window, and want to do it.
them saying about how the tour and the book are to preserve their really special friendship makes me really happy, and i dont think they are going to part ways after talking so much about how they lung love each other (haha). its just a thing which happens to be happening now, which theyve been planning for a while. <33
