my theory about dan’s project: a ridiculously long thread
disclaimer: i’m not trying to ruin anything or disrespect dan, i’m doing this purely for fun. now, on to the theory !
PART I - tweets
dan has said repeatedly that he has been working on things that involve writing and piano playing. he’s mentioned things like preparations and a new era/adventures (working on the next chapter of dan) a lot. [the first tweet screenshot used will come up again later]
PART II - my soul merch drop
dan said specifically that the my soul merch was originally supposed to be released along with this project. he’s also said before that his project is “something new but very dan,” and the merch seems to be those things too. it’s important to [cont.]
[cont.] note that a lot of musicals, movies, or plays include merchandise. the my soul merch line may or may not have been directly affiliated with the project, but it most likely had something to do with it. [bonus: the “something new but extremely dan” tweet]
PART III - dan in la
dan went to la for his project. la, and especially hollywood, is pretty much one of the world’s most important places in cinema. if dan was making a movie, a musical, or a play, it’d make sense for him to be there to meet with studios and people.
bonus: he probably wasn’t at universal studios but that’s something to note ?
PART IIII - liveshows and the lockdown
dan mentioned his project in the youtube charity stream and the mermaids stream.

mermaids stream
he’s mentioned a lot how the lockdown interfered with his project (remember how i said this tweet would come up again ?), which would make sense if it was a play/movie/musical that was supposed to begin touring.
PART IV - talentworks podcast
dan went on the talentworks podcast in july of 2019. he talked about always loving drama, being creative, being inspired by british comedy shows, and more. here’s a clip from it:
PART V - conclusion
dan clearly has a knack for storytelling. he’s shown that in his videos, especially in basically i’m gay. he’s also said that he wants to continue sharing his story and doing things like big. he loves music and drama and shares a lot how much he loves touring. [cont.]
so, to conclude this thread, i personally think that dan’s project is a movie or a play. it will probably involve music, and i think that it will be based off of his own life. but i know that whatever the project is, it’s going to break the internet.
special credit to the lesbians for bubblegum bitch dan ( @hesbianorman and @january30th1987) for *also* having this theory and for helping me write this all up ! u guys are everything
