i forget that dan and phil are rich rich. like i was wondering how they survived for 5 years with only one of them posting consistently to yt. then i remembered that not only have they amassed hundreds and hundreds of videos on their channels that they can continue to monetise indefinitely, they've also done a radio show, hosted the brits (3 times), went on multiple tours, written multiple books, and sold merch that whole time based off / adjacent to their various projects. assuming they made good decisions with investments etc they're living FINEE. like, they're doing GOOD. like yeah of course they could afford an entirely new house build in london while one of them was basically Out Of Office for 5 years. i just have to remind myself sometimes that my gay dads are not some dudes in my screen getting money solely from my fifth rewatch of i try to give dan a haircut. as shocking as that may be
im realizing how little i know about my own characters its like actually embarrassing. i need to sit down and make one of those “my ship in 5 seconds” relationship dynamic chart things. and like tape it to my wall. bc how do i still not know who the big spoon is
2 Corinthians 4:18 (NKJV) -
while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.
it's actually crazy how they came back from a 5-year hiatus to post almost every single day for 2 months and then leave us in the lurch until new year's like did they actually think we would survive this????? we are sickly victorian children you can't give us a phat loaf of bread then tell us we have to wait 15 days for another slice
