An Exclusive Interview With danisnotonfirevyou1
There are men. There are heroes. And then there’s danisnotonfirevyou1.
A blessing to Dan and Phil fans across the world, this phandom update and edit YouTube channel has become a living legend by giving the world what it didn’t know it needed: Lightning fast uploads of Dan and Phil’s best moments edited to match the aesthetic of Dan Howell’s sarcastic, Comic Sans emblazoned, meme loving soul. This channel is truly a gift. A GIFT.
“I love the danisnotonfirevyou1 channel because it’s a thing not many other fandoms have,” said subscriber Annisa. “It’s like an inside joke, if you will, between everyone who’s a part of the phandom.”

With more than 100K subscribers and a recent YouNow shoutout from Dan himself, this channel has risen to phandom royalty. There’s just one problem: No one knows who it is.

~An Interview With danisnotonfirevyou1~
Q: First, the question on everyone’s mind: Can you confirm or deny that you are actually Dan Howell?
A: can YOU? can barack obama? have you ever seen obama and dan in the same room? exactly
Q: Which video are you most proud of? (We personally love “there he is” ft. Dan and ice cream.)
A: thank you! probably “no tomorrow” but just because its a tribute to dans old twitter icon (rip rest in peace)
Q: Why do you choose to keep your identity hidden?
A: its not a giant secret like the krabby patty secret formula ingredient but i didn’t want anyone at all to follow me on various websites just because of the channel and its less stressful being ‘anonymous’
Q: What was going through your head when Dan called you “indomitable” in his liveshow?
A: i thought he had said “indominable” (because of his sick voice at the time) so i couldn’t find a definition for it so for a few minutes i was like “oh god was this an insult or a compliment” but then someone explained the word and i was relieved and said “OH” out loud
Q: Do your IRL friends know about your channel?
A: i think i’ve only ever told two people but otherwise nope
Q: Has your experience on YouTube shaped your career path? (ie. Are you pursuing video editing in some form?)
A: yes! it lead me to an interest in graphic design at first and more recently i’ve been thinking of taking video editing classes and seeing where i can go from there as i definitely have more of an interest in it now
Q: Can you give us three clues about who you are?
A: flamingo, flamingo, flamingo

Q: What advice do you have for turning your passion into an Internet empire?
A: start as soon as possible and i’d agree with the advice amazingphil usually gives about making things that you love and would enjoy yourself, and if you’re influenced by someone else don’t necessarily replicate their style, but put a twist on it and make it your own style
Q: What’s something you love about being a part of the phandom?
A: the community of incredibly nice people who you make bonds with that you know could last a lifetime
Q: Phil Lester do you agree
A: YES 10000%

A: oooh change gender every time i sneeze! that sounds fun
Q: If you had to name your child after an Instagram filter, which one would it be?
A: willow!
Q: If your life had a theme song, what would it be?
A: its a tie between “Hans Zimmer – Time” and “Country Girl (Shake It for Me) – Luke Bryan” (i have no explanation)
Q: Why do you do what you do?
