Since I’ve gotten a million asks asking for it, here is how Dan’s piano part went:
Dan - “I’d like to play you a little something. This is the true story about two guys called Dan and Phil.”
Once upon a time, there was a boy named Dan.
With brown emo hair and a weird brown tan.
He spent a lot of time on the Internet alone.
But on YouTube, he found a place to call home.
A magical world of skate boarding cats.
Of vloggers and filmmakers, and…some big-headed twats.
But Dan enjoyed this world alone until he met a black haired emo boy called AmazingPhil.
This Phil guy he was weird, but also pretty rad.
He talked about his life and he wore a lot of plaid.
Dan wanted to join in but he couldn’t make clips.
So he asked, “Hey buddy, can I have some editing tips?”
*Rapper Phil emerges*
Dan - “Phil? Phil, no!”
Phil - Shut up, Dan! This piano is wack.
People like rap, so Philly’s back.
We’ve been friends for ten years, they all know the tale.
If you didn’t know me, you’d be sat in jail.

Daniel Howell and Phil Lester? <3

I know people think they’re dating(I really like them together too, whether it’s real or not), but out of respect I’m not going to be ~~that~~ biased:

Phil’s Sun is in Dan’s 8th House. Phil is possibly very drawn to Dan and fascinated by him. Dan on the other side could be very sensitive to Phil’s actions and feel real intimate with him.

Dan’s sun is in Phil’s 7th House - This is a good aspect for bonding between two people. They could often lose their own identity and become a union together, because the other person feels like their other half. These people find a missing part of theirs in the other person and that creates a balanced relationship.

Phil’s Venus is in Dan’s 6th house- Again, great for partnership. They are very good at working together without fighting and always listening to the other person’s opinion. This is the domestic placement. They are very involved with eachother’s daily life and it’s pleasant for both of them. Might be dependent on the other person.

Dan’s Venus is in Phil’s 8th House - Dan is very captivated by Phil. In can signify emotional and physical bonding in a relationship. There are probably a lot of secrets shared between them. They have accepted eachother’s darker side and love it. His Mars is also in Phil’s 8th House which can be a magnetic sexual attraction. Take this however you want.

If you’re European, in a couple of weeks you will be denied any and all access to fandom contents on Tumblr and everywhere else on the internet. Here’s why.

On June, 20th the JURI of European Parliament approved of the articles 11 and 13 of the new Copyright Law. These articles are also known as the “Link Tax” and the “Censorship Machines” articles.

Articles 13 in particular forces every internet platform to filter all the contents we upload online, ending once and for all the fandom culture. Which means you won’t be able to upload any type of fandom works like fan arts, fan fictions, gif sets from your favourite films and series, edits, because it’s all copyrighted material. And you won’t also be able to share, enjoy or download other’s contents, because the use of links will be completely restricted.

But not everything’s lost yet. There’s another round of voting scheduled for the early days of July.

What you can do now to save our internet, is to share these informations with all of your family members and friends, and to ask to your MEP (the members of the European Parliament from your country) to vote NO at the next round, to vote against articles 11 and 13.

Here you can find more news and all the details to contact your MEP:

We have just a couple of weeks to stop this complete madness, don’t let them dictating the way we enjoy our internet.

#SaveYourInternet now!

It’s funny how y'all will reblog any and all US things but when whole Europe might lose access to internet then everything is quiet.

Hey, guys! It’s me, your friendly neighborhood law student!

I am seeing this circling my dashboard (yet again) and I would like to say a few things about it. Once again, as I have stated before when I’ve weighed in on something, I am not a lawyer (yet). But, that being said…

Please stop being sensationalist. There are many legitimate criticisms of this directive, but these are not the criticisms I am seeing being spread around. Instead, what’s being spread around amounts to fearmongering. I don’t blame you for doing so - the vast majority of this is being started by the people this will hit hardest, AKA big corporate giants such as Google, Amazon and Microsoft. They have the kind of press pull that very easily leads to this kind of panic.

So, for any of my followers having anxiety about this, let me soothe your worries and address them point by point.

1. “This will destroy the internet in two weeks”

No, no, it won’t. This is a directive, meaning (unlike, say, the the last thing to bring my work onto my tumblr, the fucking GDPR) that it leaves the goals of the directive open to somewhat free implementation by member states, as long as the basic goals of the directive are met on time. As such, it will be years before we actually see any binding legislation as a result of this directive, and how member states choose to implement it will vary on the state in question.

2. “Article 11 will completely restrict the use of links”

Article 11, AKA what is being referred to as the link tax, essentially implements what we call the ancillary copyright of press publishers. This right gives press publishers the right to demand compensation when snippets of their content are displayed on other web pages. So, essentially, this is an article almost directly designed to bop Google (who currently holds the kind of leading market position that the EU sees as incredibly problematic because it kind of goes against everything the EU stands for) on the nose. This would force Google (and, with it, other companies) to compensate the writers of articles that are mirrored to their sites in a truncated form, often leading to less traffic to the actual site in question and thus the mirroring site gaining the revenue that would otherwise be due to the writer of the article.

Now - there are legitimate criticisms of this, which mostly hinge on the fact that forcing people to pay the content creator for content they are using may lead some people to stop using that content. Personally, I think it’s better for people to receive compensation for their work, even if it comes at the cost of less sharing of the work. You are allowed to disagree. The most legitimate form of criticism of this article, in my humble opinion, is that it may lead to a picking and choosing of what content to share and what not to. The thing is - is this not something that is being done already? What does this article add to that other than to make sure that if you do choose to share someone else’s work, that other party gets compensated accordingly?

3. “Article 13 will destroy fandom culture”

No, no, it won’t. The vast majority of fandom culture falls under what US law refers to as fair use and most European national laws (which, in the case of EU countries, are harmonized according to the European Union Copyright Directive) refer to as private use. Article 13 in and of itself does not change the allowances made for private use of media in derivative works already. It merely mandates that companies must take effective measures to stop the users of their services from sharing media that infringes on copyright.

Again, I am in the boring camp of agreeing with the EU - I believe it is better for people to be compensated for their work. If the way we are currently using media in fandom is infringing on copyright, then I think we should stop using it that way. You are entirely welcome to disagree with me on this. Notice how the wording of the article constantly emphasizes how measures taken must be appropriate and proportionate. How the the content recognition technology is mentioned as an example of effective measures that could be taken to stop the uploading and sharing of copyrighted works, not as the only way of doing so. Notice how the entire third paragraph of this article deals with best practices and appropriate and proportionate technology which takes into account the availability and effectiveness of technology - so, essentially, if it sucks and flags too many things as infringing on copyright, it should not be used because it is not appropriate, proportionate or effective. And that’s right there in the directive.

And, yet again, there are legitimate criticisms of this article, including the one mentioned in the OP I am replying to regarding the limitations of sharing copyrighted material on, say, Youtube. That’s true - but you haven’t been allowed to upload full films onto Youtube as is, have you? Videos with copyrighted music in the background have been muted or deleted, as well. The most legitimate criticism I’ve seen is that these automatic copyright infringement flagging algorithms are generally overzealous, and this could lead to over-censoring of content that would actually fall under fair use/personal use/whatever you want to call it. That’s true, very true - but the article doesn’t require countries to enforce algorithms being used if they don’t work as they should. See above paragraph.

So, in conclusion: yes, this directive could stand to be worded better. Yes, it may technically lead to the kinds of doomsday scenarios people are imagining - but I really don’t think it will. In fact, I doubt you’ll notice much difference when (in a few years) these laws actually start getting implemented. Notice how no one has heard about the GDPR for like three weeks now, even though we’re living in that supposedly apocalyptic post-GDPR world? (I say, bitterly, as I wade through piles of GDPR every day at work… :D)

Still don’t like the directive proposal? That’s totally fine. By all means, call up your MEP, take a stand! Now, you’re doing it for the right reasons.

When you realize DanAndPhilGames could be shut down because of the upcoming European copyright laws

Oh shit

I feel like no one realises how bad this actually is. To make it clear for y'all if this law passes, it’s going to be 1000x worse than net neutrality. This is a literal internet censorship.

Want to post a cute fanart? BLOCKED. A fanfic? BLOCKED. Do you have a friend in europe and want to send them a meme? BLOCKED. Youtube let’s plays? BLOCKED Dan’s meme videos? BLOCKED.

Nearly not enough people are talking about this so please, even if you’re not european, help us and take part. We did the same when net neutrality was trying to ruin all of our lives. I’ll put some useful links below.

Take part, lads🌸✨

Right so to add to this. My friend has already been affected by this shit today . Her gmail profile pic which was eevee (pokemon) has been removed apparently due to eu copyright laws. It was a fucking profile pic. @eu fuck u

also Philip DeFranco made a p good video about this topic. I’ll link it which according to the new laws will also be illegal.

🇺🇸 Another addition for y'all americans: Just so you know there’s quite a big chance a certain cheeto could get inspired by the shit eu is going to pass rn and then we’re all screwed.

🇬🇧 UK lads: UK is going to be affected by this until the day they officially leave the EU and that is in 2021. Contact your local MPs link is above.

🇪🇺 Members of the EU: Are basically all going to be fucked if we don’t do something! Contact your local MPs link is above.

🌏Rest of the world is hopefully sane but still…. please try to help even if this isn’t going to affect you directly.

Any help is appreciated but please try to spread the message as well as signing the petition. Thank u all

“every show will be completely different, and a special experience for the people there.” - phil lester, 2018
hi guys! so dan and phil are actually going on tour again, absolute legends. but it’s not a fully scripted show like the amazing tour is not on fire is it? no, dan and phil are making it new and improved at every show, so we all get something different out of it. which is great in theory, but is anyone else worried we are going to be left out of these unique experiences?
well, that’s where this blog comes in.
over the next few months, this blog will be keeping track of as many interactive introverts updates as possible. from selfies, to vlogs, to crazy stories viewers will get from each unique show, to literally anything related to interactive introverts, we’ll be keeping up.
and i know what you’re thinking, how can any one person run a blog that has so much information to collect?! ah well, this blog will be run by multiple people!
if you want to be an admin for this blog all you have to do is:
- follow the blog
- fill out this application
- reblog this post if you’re feeling cheeky
- be willing to use a texting app and have your messages open on tumblr
about 7 to 12 people will be chosen (lol this is totally up for change). the admins will be added to a group chat (yay new friends) and updated on all the rules of the blog. admins will be chosen over the next week!
this blog is still under heavy construction so don’t be too judgy yet.
i’m excited to start sharing everyone’s interactive introverts stories!!!

Oooooh

An Open Letter to Dan From the “11 yr old”
tbh… im too embarrassed to come out with my real identity.
i really enjoyed watching and looking up to dan up until this point. i just want to say im no longer apart of the “phandom”.
i feel ashamed to have even sent that email. i just wanted to show my appreciation and it backfired.
im sorry for not being mature enough, or “up to date” enough for you. even if you didnt like the email, whyd you have to go and blast it to everyone?
i didnt know there were age limits to enjoying your youtube channel

I hope you feel better, Dan could be.. something sometimes and nobody deserves to feel that way. Just keep acting the way that makes you happy! Don’t listen to what this random man on the internet has to say, because he’s the same man who has been called a douche on several occasions, even by his own friends.

(I don’t think it was an attack on your age though, he’s just weirdly sensitive with his past because it’s “cringey”, he isn’t happy with his past and didn’t want to be known for it, but if you’re happy now, be whoever you want to be)
