just them having that sort of slice of life kind of relationship. plotless and without grandiose elements but the love and care they have for each other is there. (⁠ ⁠ꈍ⁠ᴗ⁠ꈍ⁠)♡

Phil got back home from Florida a little over a week before this video was published.

Glasses Phil! (They end up wearing those glasses a lot in the Super Amazing Project.)

0:02 - well this is different than his usual intros. Suddenly a newscaster, lol.

0:11 - he’s so excited! (Dan helped him pick out the final t-shirt designs.)

0:17 - love the happy dance 😊

0:51 - more community involvement ideas! Phil always has one for anything new he does.

0:59 - intense Phil.

1:11 - I’m not so sure about that “weather noise” lol

1:12 - but we did get Phil’s embarrassed giggle at himself out of it 😄

1:15 - He did previously talk about being a weatherman back in Burning Walrus in 2009, but never that he actually wanted to be one as a child in a video before.

1:20 - “an ice cream man that controls the weather” of course, Phil

1:30 - Phil is talking so fast in this video. I think maybe he’s eaten too much of that Pocky...hahaha

1:42 - yeah, he definitely ate way too much of it 

1:59 - I’m disturbed by this peep eating

2:03 - if they taste like polystyrene they are definitely stale, yikes

2:09 - a bin room story. And they still have “scary bin room” stories in 2021. Phil tweeted about this of course.

2:31 - freezing in scary situations is something I also do and it’s not great

2:38 - I love how Phil knows that this is a weird-ass thing to do taking the mannequin hand out of the bin. lol

2:59 - of course Phil goes straight to horror movie scenarios

3:09 - Simon update! “I’m going to be getting him back tomorrow” so Dan or another friend must have taken the tank with him while Phil was in Florida? Maybe Dan only took care of the triops and someone else watched Simon.

3:17 - I did not actually notice this until he said it. Lion is always in the background though (and for several more years).

3:25 - Phil’s excitement for being back in England revolves around food.

3:33 - Final Fantasy VIII! He and Dan played it through together. 🥺

If his expression wasn’t enough to tell, Ritsu was really, REALLY, determined to have Rei play the game with him. He could have, of course, simply asked for it, but after years of not exactly getting along, ambushing the elder for a ‘challenge’ -like he was currently doing- seemed far easier.

Slightly bothered that Rei would try to ignore him and pass by him, he moved to the side to block his movement, again presenting the other end of the pocky forward. Take it! Now! Idiot big brother!

Heart beating just a bit faster at that stupidly attractive smirk, he almost felt like stepping back when Rei craned down to his height, red eyes now at the same level. A shy nod and pleading puppy eyes. Don’t tease him and just play with him!

There was a second of excitement when Rei finally -FINALLY- agreed to play. And it was just a second because the next second he had chewed down on a third of the -already pretty short- stick and was rapidly chewing his way closer.

Face suddenly turning completely red and eyes spinning from the suddenness, Ritsu did his part of chewing forward. He was trembling a bit, eyes way too distracted in Rei’s...

   Crack!

Unable to stand the pressure, the pocky stick had now broken between the two of them. A small sigh leaving his mouth, the game stopped -with him losing- Ritsu stared at the broken pocky for a moment.
