the moment that really took me out was when they were talking about dan maybe not wanting to do the second tour cause of the gay panic and then dan said "whereas phil's like I'll just fucking lie to anyone I don't fucking care" hsjahsk it's such a good representation of their personalities

dan: I need to live my truth, I feel like I'm lying if I go on a big tour without coming out

phil: not your goddamn business you nosy bitches

IT REALLY WAS! I think it represented them so well, both in how they deal with things but also their internal reflection.

Like Dan has always been prone to overthinking and worried about being exposed and showing vulnerability. We kind of know he'd wanted to come out for a bit, trying to plan for it and figure out how exactly to do it. He specifically talked about how at meet and greets people would come up to him and tell him how he and Phil helped them become more comfortable with themselves and able to come out affected him. Like he couldn't do what he preached.

Whereas with Phil, I think he had an easier time drawing up boundaries and knowing what he wanted from the start. He had himself figured out and that was his big priority, how people saw him wasn't as important. He never wanted to make a big deal about an aspect of his private life, because that belonged to him, not to his audience. So it wouldn't really feel like some big lie to him, because he never thought to be authentic, he had to reveal his private side.

I definitely think that they differ on that aspect and it was very fun to see it represented like that. We also see it in their videos, like Dan is proclaiming he's gay, often saying it like he's fighting because he was. For a long time. It was an internal fight. Whereas Phil don't often mention is as much directly, but he speaks freely about gay stuff now.

hi sam!!! been thinking about maybe possibly getting into lifting weights MAYBE (cause I want my arms to look good). do you have any advice for starting out? like did you go to a gym and get a trainer or did you watch youtube videos or do a specific program? I may not even stick with it cause I'm really bad at keeping up with exercise, but it's worth a try?

OOOH YES okay so, real quick, to answer the question of what i did: like 5-6 years ago i worked at a gym and had a free membership + a discount on personal training, so i did some one-on-one training sessions. if you're in a spot where you can afford that, go for it! i loved it! otherwise here are some tips:

for starting out, my first tip is just this: go do it. don't overthink it, and don't beat yourself up if you fall short of certain goals or miss a few gym sessions. even if you don't do everything, a little bit is awesome!

this might seem obvious, but don't work the same muscle groups twice in a row. you need to recover or you won't build any muscle and you might injure yourself

with that in mind, a lot of trainers like to split upper body workouts into a "push" day (bench press, shoulder press, tricep dips, basically anything working your front and your triceps) and a "pull" day (assisted pull-ups, lat pull down, rows, bicep curls, working your back and biceps) and i find this SUPER useful for keeping it all straight in my head, otherwise i'll be like "DID i work my biceps this week? hm"

with that in mind, i aim for 3 days a week: leg day, push day, and pull day. i don't always make all 3 but that's the goal

choosing weights: experiment a bit, but rule of thumb for each exercise is use a weight where your 10th rep is, like, kind of a struggle but not impossible. then do 2 or 3 more sets

going for a one rep max: this is powerlifting! this is the shit that gets me GOING and makes me feel SO STRONG, but please only only only do this if you have a spotter to check your form. right when you walk in the gym pick one lift (either squat, deadlift, or bench press) that you'll try this on, and do a normal set of 10 with whatever weight makes sense for you, then keep adding weight until you can only do 1 rep. for instance i'll squat the bar (45lbs) for 10, add some weight and go for 8, add more and go for 5, add more and go for 3, and then finally add more and go for 1. (ADD. WEIGHT. SLOWLY. like 10lb, maaaybe 20lb at a time.) this is a great way to build actual strength as opposed to aesthetic strength and feel super strong. then you go and do your other lifts for 3x10 like you normally would for the day

speaking of form, youtube is a treasure trove for looking up different exercises and making sure you're doing them right

avoiding soreness in the days after a workout: sometimes soreness is unavoidable (you're literally tearing your muscles so they'll build back stronger! of course it's gonna be a little sore!) but you can lessen it by ending your workout with some light cardio to keep your muscles warm, STRETCHING, taking a nice hot shower (keeps the blood flowing), and eating lots and lots of protein. swallow a cheesesteak whole in my honor. you won't regret it

lastly, if you want to build muscle in your arms and you don't stick to weightlifting, that's fine! my friend has gotten really into climbing over the last year, and her arms... good LORD, her arms! beautiful. incredible. basically my point is you have to enjoy what you're doing to stick with it, so for me that's powerlifting because it makes me feel accomplished and strong! for you it might also be lifting, or it could be climbing or kayaking or yoga or gymnastics (my latest tiktok crush is a pro gymnast whose arms are just..... chef's kiss. yeah i'm a little gay about it) but! the point is to try different things and stick to whatever you like the most. or mix and match! do what you want! have fun! get swole! be strong like bull! and please come brag to me about it when you do!

#so excited! go pick things up and put them down! YEAH! #i was so tempted to answer this with ''okay first thing you do is get in the car and drive to philadelphia. my gym's address is--'' #weightlifting with friends is also SUPER FUN #that's my last tip #feel free to come and ask me anything about it if you have questions later too!!! #chaoticeddie #sam answers stuff

dan may not be accusing youtube of jerking him around with platitudes to get him to feature in shit for them, but I sure am. extremely unprofessional of whoever made that decision tbh. I know dan couldn't fully go off on them in his email so that he could be the bigger person but I still enjoyed his email. it really struck that line between professional to the extreme and petty in a lovely way: "I do wish the process could have been better.....mostly the time that I cannot get back.....perhaps the project was always too ambitious for the platform" LMAO. suck it youtube assholes, he'll produce this shit and he'll do it his way and they'll have missed out on a incredible opportunity

YES! Like I'm not exaggerating when I say that I really love the way this man uses his words. There was no doubt that he was absoulutely angry and sad based on that email, even though his tone was mostly polite. It also felt like a very good "fuck you" for him to rise above it and be the better person.

They dragged him around and threw him into the mud but he got up, dusted himself off and politely told them that this was in no way acceptable behaviour and strolled off. I'm sure there was so metaphorical crying in the shower after that but YTO was not entitled to see that. Dan had to heal in private and recover.

I am right here with you, ready to rage against that treatment of him. He really did feature in so much "weird" YouTube shit in 2020 and 2021 and a big portion of the time, it did feel kind of stilted and off and no fucking wonder! Look at what they did! They worsened his anxiety and depression by all their circle jerking, leaving him on read for months but happily reaching out when they wanted to use his face (and his audience) for their own good.

YouTube really is so lucky to have creators like him. The loyalty and care just oozing out of him and even now, deciding to come back, to diregard their treatment of him and use it as a platform still. He didn't conceal at any point that YouTube had such a big impact on his life, and that in a way it saved him during a dark period and he still has hope for it. His relationship has become more complicated for sure but he still knows YouTube has a special access and control of your own content that you couldn't find elsewhere.

He is going to do so many great things. On his own. Maybe he'll put it on YouTube but in my opinion he shouldn't work with them again like that. They honestly don't deserve it after the ringer they've put him through.

I'm going to see the marvels tonight and I'm not up to date on the shows, is there anything I need to know going in?

i honestly don't think so! you should be able to get plenty from the flashbacks and bits of exposition they give you. otherwise as long as you're willing to just roll with it and be like "ah okay that's a thing then" you'll be fine

(worth noting i have not seen secret invasion and i don't think it mattered at all lol)
