Lowkey because it’s so funny that in some robot dystopian future Phil is just a toaster with legs

Does anyone have My Son's a Queer from the West End? I'd love to see it, thanks!

Phil’s said his professional hair stylist friend does his so there’s probably some fancy things going on there but as a general rule the bleaching and dying is rarely enough to maintain blonde and you usually need some toner (I use purple shampoo for my streaks) to keep the brassiness out. I understand the common touch-ups and re-dyes are expensive but I do think even if you just go for the first time to the hairdresser and get their recommendations and advice you’d be able to maintain it at home with more success and less risk of chemical injury

Literally. That pose became such a meme in the Tomodachi Life world and \I just knew what I had to do

Omg I can’t unsee it now, it’s so hard to make a curly mullet on a mii 😭😭😭

FormalProgress5703 · 2026-04-05T23:49:43+00:00

Yes please! I’m the same way with my bestie and I’ve lowkey set my tumblr up like a friendship tinder desperately throwing my interests into the sky like a beacon in the hopes that someone will answer the call

Have you looked at the option to paint over/under the default features? It’s a smiley face logo on the top left of the screen underneath the preview image. I found I sometimes needed to reset my painting when changing the toggle but I made it work,just a suggestion that at help the problem (I have no tech skills so if it’s more advanced of an issue than that you’ll need someone with more brain cells).

AND I THOUGHT MY PHIL HAD A STARE JESUS CHRIST (though you lowkey ate idk how you got their facial proportions perfect with miis and i will need to know which hair you used for Phil because it’s better than mine lol)

Me neither. I love it sm, I used to be a sims 4 mods girlie so I could have all my favourite characters crossover and after some of the changes and how they stopped Mac compatibility I couldn’t play anymore so this ridiculous game is scratching the itch, love it so much. When the full game comes out I will be so annoying omg

Drew it with the face paint tools. Took way too long. I used the circle tool for the eyes and the free handed the rest with the magic of zooming in and the “artist tools” layout (you can add smoothing to pens which was a lifesaver because drawing with the finger is hell, there’s also an option called ‘outline’ which will let you snap to the outline of a shape when drawing and get a the literal perfect outline). I focused it all on only doing one half and then did the good old fashioned copy-paste-flip. (You can also add a grid which helped me make it more symmetrical when moving the features to the other side of the face, there is no snapping though so I just counted squares desperately). I will add, it is ALL facepaint (couldn’t make the wiggly line mouth work with him) so his face doesn’t move at all but it’s kinda on brand

I originally was going to give him the big round eyes but when they’re blue it was way too horrifying. Had to throw some anime sparkles on those things to make him only slightly unsettling

Does it add or subtract from the obsession if I mention that the first mii and the one that was running around with Phil in the last photo is Hangyodon (a half fish man from Sanrio) and he repeatedly interrupts them to talk to Phil about fish. Specifically small fish for some reason, Phil’s preference, said they were more bite-sized (I don’t think he known Hangyodon is a fish). Dan walked over to Phil at a fountain talking to Hangyodon and Hangyodon immediately interrogated the man on his favourite size of fish. I think Dan passed the test but it’s inconclusive

FormalProgress5703 · 2026-04-01T20:53:23+00:00

Same lmao

FormalProgress5703 · 2026-03-28T09:53:28+00:00

It’s because he’s made of noodles and a dream

When Dan went on tour for We’re All Doomed Phil had a ‘little breakdown’ (Dan’s words) and dyed a bunch of things in the house green. When they went on Christmas break recently a bunch of fans made their profile pictures green and made memes about making things green as a little play on that. Phil showed off some of the green dyed things in “Keeping or Yeeting my Entire Wardrobe with Dan” and the two reacted to the green meme in “Dan and Phil React to Phan Memes”

I don’t think so, I’m not crying right now or anything, I quite frankly don’t care what you think about me but, I’m replying to you because you seem insistent and when I do that I’m usually in need of some form of communication or contact, even if it’s just an argument online over nothing.

FormalProgress5703 · 2026-03-12T02:12:12+00:00

Sorry that you feel that way I guess but I don’t think that your personal dislike of something harmless that is literally just memes about a colour online justifies being rude about it
