    Welcome to my new show Dystopia Daily - where the show may not be daily, but every day on this planet is an endless nightmare.
    Watch my four videos about hating rainbows, AI Art, guessing dirty tweets and my crush tier-list on the channel I wrongly uploaded them to because I'm weird: • We're Here We're Queer...
    Each ‘episode’ of Dystopia Daily will be uploaded in four parts - tune in next time for our next segment with a ..very special.. guest! Let's hope everything goes to plan and it turns out exactly as I dreamed.

      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. Or will we call that fantasy.

    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. :))

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.

    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...
