@/danandphilgames -> @/danandphil change is IMMINENT let me explain

CONTEXT: so on youtube there are usernames, channel names, and handles. all of which can be different. take for example the YouTube channel with the username "danielhowell" (youtube.com/user/danielhowell), the channel name "danielhowell" (youtube.com/danielhowell OR youtube.com/c/danielhowell*), and the handle "@/danielhowell" (youtube.com/[at]danielhowell). dan's youtube CHANNEL and USERNAME are still danisnotonfire (youtube.com/danisnotonfire and youtube.com/user/danisnotonfire), and both take you to his Daniel Howell channel (with the handle @/danielhowell). basically, dan's rebrand changed his handle but nothing else. currently, the gaming channel's username, channel name, and handle are all "danandphilgames."

HERE'S WHERE THE REBRAND COMES IN: there is a youtube channel, danandphil, that was created in january 2014. previously, this channel's handle AND channel name were both "danandphil" (youtube.com/[at]danandphil in june 2024, youtube.com/danandphil in june 2024). (note: the username danandphil (youtube.com/user/danandphil) is a dead-end, and as far as I'm aware, has never been linked to a channel.) so, a year ago, the handle @/danandphil was still linked to the channel "danandphil." HOWEVER, recently**, @/danandphil has been unlinked to the channel. youtube.com/[at]danandphil brings you to an error page, and you can additionally see the handle no longer shows up on youtube.com/danandphil (you can also access the channel through youtube.com/c/danandphil):

(right screenshot was taken today, august 16th 2025)

so basically, some time in the past couple months, the handle @/danandphil has been unlinked from the "danandphil" channel, which means I think pretty soon the gaming channel handle will be changed from @/danandphilgames to just @/danandphil, in the same way that dan changed his handle from @/danisnotonfire to @/danielhowell. thank you for coming to my phed talk

*(the "/c/[channel]" links do not always work, idk why!)

**I checked the danandphil channel sometime after d&p announced the rebrand and @/danandphil was still hooked up to it, but i don't have a screenshot! so the archive from june 2024 is there and you'll have to take my word for it. sorry 🥲

for good measure, proof that the handle @/danandphil is not just floating in the wild:

92 days of spooky dan and phil - [91/92]

the real horror is phil’s neck kink

thirsty

crazy shit going on

so before the rebrand actually happens my prediction is still this: wedding themed rebrand about commiting to the bit as a duo (and making fun of us ofc)... Like the evil twin of back from the dead. I think they are evil enough for this

embrace the floor void and have the courage to exist(entially spiral)

pheanuts are BACK! 🥜

before you stab someone: THINK!

how can you make it Tender?

how can you make it Homoerotic?

how can you make it Implicitly intimate?

how can you make it Noticeably a metaphor for sex?

how can you make it Kind of gay?

[dandp]

Can you imagine though if we actually do get a podcast or something similar where there's regular, scheduled content and we always have something concrete to look forward to? That'll fix me I think

[dandp]

Just realized I'm extremely busy on 2 out of the next 3 Sundays. Dan and Phil announce rebrand things on any other day challenge

[dandp]

jkjk… unless ??

[dandp]

dnp deleted the tweet. unheard of business deals being made as we speak

[dandp]

just me being me and seeing if this account is even active… and yep!! looks like dnp will hopefully get this account 👀

inch resting

pov two youtubers you haven't watched in a decade are stalking you and getting their followers to find your personal instagram accounts

[dandp]

Last chance to post her before she's gone phorever </3

[dandp]

wait real quick! phamily vote before it all happens

are we just dropping the g and sticking with dap for the joint channel (to keep the differentiation when we're talking about dnp the people) or are we adopting a new official channel acronym

[dandp]

Imagine if we really were supposed to have more rebrand info by now but can't because Dan will die before he has an Instagram username with any extra letters/symbols and they can't get the original 😭

[dandp]

does anyone know if the @ danandphil on tiktok used to be something else? because empty account or not, i find it suspicious that there are only 3 followers (well two until i just followed it just in case), so i'm guessing it's a brand new account that just got the username? 👀
