Will then we, sit down and watch happy families, equality, respect and joy and marvel at how strange, improbable, and unrealistic those images are. Will we hope and strive for that which we see.

Dan, here's a simple fact: you're a very interesting (whether you want to admit it or not), clever and genuinely funny person - that's literally more than enough to fuel this channel and have your audience thoroughly entertained, inspired, motivated and feeling connected to you. And the best part is, get this, all those things that we love about you that keep us coming back are always there no matter what you decide to do for a video. ;) I don't know if you've noticed but you have a pretty damn strong and striking character and it's kinda omnipresent in absolutely EVERYTHING you do and since that's why we're all here, you never have to worry about the main thing about your content lacking. :) Just do whatever you want, be true to your wishes and interests, and as long as there's sincerity there, people will keep watching and supporting. :)) Here's to the new Dan era, hoping it lasts and enjoying the wild ride together! :D

yes yes.. i want to know and discuss whats going on without feeling like im going to punch a whole through the wall and cry because of it

[@waterreed1040]

Yea Dan, I've been here a decade now. Just happy, as always, to see ur face and listen to u talk about whatever u think is important! You got heaps of natural charm, my dude, and you're just easy to listen to. xx Never worry that ppl won't like your content. You're a real gem.

[@mylifeismylaptop8529]

I seem to recall Dan saying something along the lines of the world ending when he starts daily uploads so this actually seems super on brand for the tour lol

[@zephyr3693]

Dan, when people like you for who you are, they’ll watch anything you put out. That’s why we’re all still here after like 10 years ❤️

[@rylout1786]

woah you made me realize i’ve really been here for 10 years that’s wild

[@jazwhoaskedforthis]

Every day IS a goddamn nightmare and it really makes me feel less alone to know other people are as horrified as I am. I hope you get to do all the creative things you want. Honestly even if you two just sit around reading your texts again or casually vlogging or whatever, I'll be happy.

[@emmalinekim9822]

Dan! I started following you as an awkward middle schooler. I'm 24 now and still kinda awkward, but I'm also a gainfully employed engineer. Thank you for all of the videos you make and the community you created. The phandom on tumblr really made me feel less alone as a teenager. I felt like I was so weird and awkward, and at times I didn't have a lot of friends. You (and Phil) created a place where I felt celebrated for the things that made me feel like an outcast. Your impact on my life was definitely a positive one. I'm excited to see this next chapter of content you make!

[@adoseoframen1135]

I swear I could chill with you on a livestream like, reading a book, or doing your bills, and it would still be enjoyable purely because of your energy. You're funny, compassionate, dark, cynical, and calming all at the same time; a fantastical paradox of a man that deserves only the best in life! I can safely say you are my favourite content creator no matter how infrequently you provide us with said content.

dan Howell is the most human celebrity I have ever seen and it's so comforting

[@valerieblackwood9777]

Dan you influenced me 10 years ago by inspiring me to say ‘literally’ all the time and now I physically can’t remove it from my vocabulary so thanks for that 😂👍

[@rottingdreamland]

Literally same

[@ThunderCrey]

This was depressing, delightful and uplifting, the perfect synthesis for these dystopian times lol very glad to have you back Dan 💜

[@baileycoleman3387]

As I navigate the trainwreck of young adulthood it is comforting to have Dan back as the same emotional support he was for me as I navigated the trainwreck of my teen years. Love you Dan

[@gabbyb5918]

I can definitely appreciate the effort to separate Dan's work life from personal life. That step is incredibly important in order to maintain a healthy attitude towards work.

"I'm here, I'm queer, and I'm just going to force myself through the tears." Dan sees me ❤️

[@QuarterMoonRachel]

Just realised I've been watching your channel for 10 whole years this summer! Was 17, doing my A levels, and going on uni open days back then. Now I'm 27, graduated from uni, working, and about to start a new full-time job. Life comes at you fast...

[@levibonboulash5058]

Daniel you have no idea how happy this makes me. Thank for you my child/teen hood. I love you.

[@absoluteterror4045]

It has been my wife and I's childhood dream to see you live! We will be seeing you on oct. 24 in Durham NC, USA!! We have been watching you since we were 13, almost 10 years ago. Thank you for getting us through rough patches in our lives.

[@sp4ce4ge12]

honestly dan still making content while i'm in college (started watching when i was in middle school) is comforting, as much changes as muhc stays the same and all that

[@0bsessednerd]

Same! I started my second year of college and I’ve been watching since fifth or sixth grade!

[@slitherboo]

The ending with Phil where they are admitting something they’ve never said before- that’s filled me with both fear and excitement.

[@jagwarrior166]

bro be for real they're gonna be like "we got a dog!!!!1!!1"

[@slitherboo]

@@jagwarrior166 ikr it’s gonna be something so small

[@bassetts1899]

It'll be like "we don't like courgettes"

[@kathrynwalsh-scott3319]

me and my roommate/bestfriend, whom I met 8 years ago through you and phil, are going to see your show together! we're so excited. it feels like a full circle moment

[@Ris-vulpis]

Dan I've been watching you since I was in middle school and have seen your content evolve 7 times, I would watch you sit in a chair and list things in your eyesight for an hour

[@Miausan14]

11:24 OMG I almost spat out my drink all over my computer! I love how phil has been casually the moon to your earth, your whole life, sometimes blocking the sun and other times brightening the night. Relationship or not, you guys better be besties forever, you can't share cat whiskers and then part ways XD Love you Dan! Been watching since 2017, It has been amazing watching you grow, and even as you struggle, you came up with this hilarious talk show! Do i want more? YES! Let's bring those podcast days to youtube!
