Sometimes I think Dan and Phil are totally platonic besties and then other times I’m convinced they fuck on the daily. I think they do it on purpose and it’s honestly iconic.
kind of the best thing is that they are that and everything in between. you can tell they just like being around each other. they've made content together for 15 years and the large majority of it was done in the strictly platonic sense for their audience. and they were still having so much fun with it. we're in the 'we know you know' era now so we get to see flashes of different dynamics they have, but they absolutely have more we Don't get to see bc they're not for us.
they like each other. stupidly fond of each other. spending time together doesn't feel exhausting. they're best friends and each others' harshest critics while being the biggest hypeman and also safe space.
dnp's relationship with us, their audience, always has been and always will be different than any other content creators. part of it is how they accumulated it, but another part is just the massive history we have with them. they Get us. they Know us. they're silly goofy sarcastic guys who love us and hate us sometimes. theyre grateful but careful too. they like to rile us up, just like they do each other. it's a love language, teasing, and we've shown positive responses to it over the years. i like to say that my relationship with dnp is antagonistic sometimes--cause i know they're pushing my buttons on purpose. and ykw? it's fun! it's fun for us and it's fun for them because they have the control. i know anything they let out is cause they chose to let it out because they Know how we are. so yes they absolutely adore messing with us. we're a funny bunch.

What's the chance that the first time Crowley tried to get Aziraphale to realize Heaven was awful was right before he Fell? What if he asked him to run off with him then too? What if?

Another Zelda Timeline Thought
Alright, so.
We all know the Zelda timeline doesn’t really make sense yea?
And with Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom having large continuity gaps (for instance, there is no sign of the Sheikah shrine/towers, and more Zoras seem to remember Link from 100 years ago in BotW than they do after a few years absence in TotK), the timeline seems even less stable.
There’s no real way to tell how long TotK Ganondorf was held in stasis, only that he was probably one of the first avatars of darkness after Demise (judging by his appearance and his calling himself “The Demon King”), BUT we also know these games are supposedly at the END of the Zelda timeline. And we also know they hold aspects of all three of the timelines that were split due to Ocarina of Time.
So what if those inconsistencies are because of the merging timelines? As in BotW’s Calamity Ganon was the remainder of Ganon from the downfall timeline? The Ganondorf we fight in TotK could be from somewhere up the Child Timeline, or he could even be an ancient evil pre-flood in the Adult Timeline.
In which case, it makes sense that even though Link and Zelda ABSOLUTELY DESTROYED their ancient evil, they had to DESTROYED IT AGAIN just a bit later because this ancient evil was from another timeline.
Does this mean there’s another ancient evil for BotW/TotK Link to face? What about Age of Calamity? Where will Nintendo go from here? Will our boy ever get a full night’s sleep?
