DSP's Thanksgiving Day Victimhood 2018 - A Holiday tradition

[SkippyLongbottom]

Oh ye of little faith! If there’s one thing Phil does very well, it’s frivilously spending money. 6 months could be the due date and he’s been quiet because of delusional denial but wasn’t planning on this. He waited for thanksgiving to drink the well dry.

Exactly. It's incredibly transparent too since he's taking tomorrow off instead of the actual day of Thanksgiving. And with his recent polarized tweets he has been making to seem like he's a nice guy, it becomes so obvious.
Of course he did this same crap last year so it's no surprise there as well.

PHil has a tendency to call out people on thanksgiving. Expect him to mention Tevin.

 

[Mr.PiggyOinkOinkOink]

Well someone asked when the last time he saw his parents was and he said that will be discussed on thanksgiving.

Inb4 one of his elderly parents is dying

 

[thebonesauce]

One of them probably needs a carer. Or he’s throwing them in a nursing home.

 

[SkippyLongbottom]

I could see him throwing the dying parents card. Ultimate sympathy points for him. I'm just going to assume he hasn't prepared his portfolio for tomorrow to mask his begging and is taking suggestions from the random questions in chat.

 

[actually]

Eh, maybe he's just going to try and play a sympathy "I haven't even been able to afford to fly out to see my parents!" card while hoping his nitwit fans ignore the 3 times he flew Kat out + paying for her to move in with him.

If it's anything like his aunt one of them died weeks ago and he chose to save it till now for maximum sympathy points.

 

[Authentic Sauce]

It'll just be, might have to move back to CT, a side effect being he will see his parents again.

Or an interesting twist by the writers for this season, parents are selling their house in CT and moving to WA with Phil. Maybe helping sell the CT condo at the same time and paying off what he is upside down on. (I put this at about 1% chance)

 

[PenisMuncher23]

I think it's gonna be really boring. Probably just taxshit.

 

[actually]

From the restream tonight (I missed Phil's actual words), it sounds like Phil is hinting at wanting to see his parents and Kat's parents or some shit like that. So in addition to the obvious "MUH TAXES" spiel, I guess we can count on the guilt trip about how he can't afford to see his parents.

Again, apparently hoping that people will forget about flying Kat out 4 separate times (3 visits + moving in) and paying for Kat to move her shit out. Also just a general lack of any attempt to save up the money.

 

[PomegranateKing]

Honestly? The way he said that?
I'm sad i have to call it first.
The Khet is pregnant.
It's too late.
Run.

While I doubt this, it would explain the financial emergency. Imagine having to apocalypse-proof your house for a pig-horse-roach-hybrid baby. There'd need to be iron bars over each window, a minimum of two cages (One for night, one for daily feedings) and the black market cost for human sacrifices is astronomical.

Nobody likes a repeat on these things, and my bet on the excuse is an amalgamation of past excuses.

I'm going way off base, but I'm going for "losing the house" due to "unpaid taxes" and "shadowy 6 month deadline"

 

[Phalanx]

I am betting parents and diabetes. If he plays dying parent and tries to monetise it, easily sickest thing he has done, hope he is prepared for inevitable shit storm that that will entail. That is kind of a thing even youtubers dont pull without getting a fucking beating publicity wise.

 

[Wurstbrot]

A parent problem? Mmh, it has to be a long term problem. So if his elder pigdragons gifted him a lot of money each month or pay a good chunk of the condo, then it's exactly that. I can't imagine Dave gathering money other than for his own sake.
Ppl have a 6 month window to step up or from this point on or stuff has to change drastically. Dave and trying to solve long term problems; oh writers you are cheeky bastards.
Or it's literally nothing and just greed, which is in fact massively strong. But I tend to having literally no money to pay any of his possessions which is - for me - the most obvious and most boring one.

 

[Cpt_Autismo]

Oh man if Kate is truly prego, this could be the end of fun and carefree Phil.

 

[TheGoutinator]

Kat being pregnant and Phil becoming a father would be a massively fun new saga in the lore, but using the dying parent(s) angle would just be downright scummy.

 

[Slander Man]

Eh if Kat is pregnant I think Phil would be sperging out pretty heavily. This guy would rather stay up and watch men rolling around in a wrestling ring than go to bed with "his girl." There's no sexy time going on for these two. I bet Kat could bog down a rabbit tho.

It's going to be more of the same. Taxes. Credit cards. No money to leave the house. That's it. Phil hypes these begathons up like it's a season finale of some shitty CW reality show and we always end up disappointed. He literally started talking about it on prestream then stopped himself and said "I won't spoil it"

 

[NeckyTheThumb]

"Muh parents are ill and/or dying, I need money to see them."

In reality he flies out to Hawaii with Kat and she doesn't come back with him.

You forgot Tyrone

 

[SkippyLongbottom]

I could see the baby coming out dark and Phil trying to justify it with his Italian blood.

 

[DarkScrubPhil]

I'd be willing it has something to do with his failing "business". Over the past year, I've been noticing certain trends. His average viewer count for his twitch streams have been going down month over month for the year, and the weekly trend has been going down. I thought it would have stabilized in October, but since October, it's continued its downward trend. If we assume that viewership is correlated with revenue, his steady revenue would have been shrinking on Twitch, whales and gifted subs notwithstanding.

The story is similar to Youtube and Patreon. Phil's gone under 1 million views per month this year, and he isn't making as much money on Patreon as before. Then again, this has been a continuing trend ever since he's moved to Washington.

I think that Phil is aware of this, and thus the "State of the Stream" tomorrow. He knows where this is headed, and he knows he won't last much longer. I'm expecting major changes in how he's doing stuff, and I expect something a bit larger than the average "give me money guys, or I can't do this anymore!" type begging we've seen in the past.
