SO I was wondering why they were wearing these very grey, bland, almost hospital gown-esque and weirdly enough kind of matching shirts...
because in the previous ones they were dressed relatively normally.
(Yeah, the Illuminati shirt absolutely counts as normal in my book.)
And maybe I have an explanation for it?
As we see at the beginning the channel was shut down by the gchq ("the UK's intelligence, security and cyber agency").
Furthermore they mention that...
[Dan: They tried to stop us. Phil: But they didn't!]
So my theory is that they got detained by the government and recently escaped but they're still wearing the clothes they were put into there.
But that's just a theory. A Craft Th- *gunshot*
(Or maybe they're trying to look like a cult, you know where everyone's wearing the same thing. Either way, I think they put some thought into the clothes so if anyone has theories or additions let me know.)
Someone pointed out that Dan was using his right hand in dapc and it was because in an earlier craft (don't remember which one, haven't watched them in a while) Phil told him that using his left hand was a sin?
Anyways, Dan's holding the knife in his left hand after killing Phil 💜
I usually avoid buying clothes online, especially unisex stuff because I am short as hell (5 foot) and have disproportionately sized boobs for my hight. So most things either don't fit around my boobs and get stretched in weird places, or fit me like a potato sack. Both options don't make me feel particularly good about myself so I end up never wearing the stuff and it becomes a waste of money.
I took a chance on this shirt because I parasocialy love these fucking losers and it paid off.
1. The text sits on top of my boobs instead of infront of them.
I hate when the design/text on a graphic tee goes from nip to nip. It looks weird and stretches out the design. The text is above the boob shelf a++ good job lads.
2. The shirt is a bit long but I was expecting that due to my hight.
What's good is the design on the back is high up enough that you can tuck or roll the shirt up without obscuring the design. This is how I usually like to wear tshirts so points for that too.
3. The material is stretchy but firm. It's a bit thin but still feels good quality. The design is just printed on so we'll have to see how it stands up to first wash. I wouldn't tumble dry it. Ngl the vinyl will probably crack over time but I don't mind that "aged" look so that's not too bad.
I squealed with delight when it arrived and it motivated me to actually get dressed (at 1pm). You heard it here first. dnp merch cures depression.
wait, hold up, let's talk about the role of the audience in all of this.
I feel like this is relevant because dnp always have been very aware of their relationship with the audience and heavily included that in other projects like ii. But honestly, I mostly just have a lot of questions and a few observations regarding this topic, so please just take this as a conversation starter!
the crafties.
are they just an unsuspecting audience? are they meant to be recruited for Him? what even is the in universe intention of dnpc? are the crafties fellow believers? are we them?
and then in this last one the inclusion of that file at the beginning shifts all of this. sure, the first half is a normal dapc upload, but is the second half? are we looking at a gchq file that contains these videos? or is the inclusion of that file just a clever way to give a content warning without breaking the immersion?
