Dan & Phil Part 8: Clickedy-dick

[spaceguitar]

so say that you guys uncover the ~bus mystery~....... like what are you getting out of that? if d&p are in a relationship they quite clearly want to keep that under wraps, which is kind of their right, yknow? why the desperation to paint them as MANIPULATIVE LIARS!!!!!! and #expose them via bus layout (lol) like it's a game and they're cheating

(i'm not directing this at any one person, or trying to come across as rude, i'm just curious bc i can't see why people are so hung up on this bus )

also why is it good that phil has left channelflip? this isn't me disagreeing i'm just not sure what exactly it means or what would bring that about but if that's common knowledge feel free to ignore

I'm completely on the same page as you. I'm just sitting here wondering why I'm sifting through pages of bus layout pictures.
(i guess we have different ideas of fun?)

To answer your first question: Logically speaking, I'm guessing people want to know for a peace of mind to quell the curiosity/nosiness? Lol. Whether or not they're sharing a bed, it doesn't necessarily 100% prove phan (this is coming from a phanagnostic). I think everyone here knows that deep down. I agree they have a right to want to keep the situation private, but that doesn't mean people can't be/won't be curious and want to know (especially since D+P made everyone more curious by mentioning the bedroom in the first place) so long as nobody's breaking into their bus to find out the truth lol.

EDIT: Basically what Lurktacular and manged said lol.

As for your second question regarding CF, it shows D+P are independent/successful enough to not have to rely on CF which is a good thing, don't you agree?

You see, the problem with the Internet is that you cannot know for real the intent of the other person, but the only thing I get from your message is a holier-than-thou attitude.

This is a gossip website (a quite kind-hearted one), not a thermonuclear engineering forum, which is something I'm guessing you figured out when you decided to register. We "don't get anything out of it", it's just a harmless distraction. I slept perfectly fine last night without knowing the layout of their coach, and I will sleep tonight just as fine, like everybody else here. Sorry for not fitting on your "desperate phandom" idea.

[SOL]

i did say i was just curious and wasn't intending on being rude but ok. see ya.

[spaceguitar]

Can I continue SOL's inquiry though? What are we looking for with the bus layout pictures? I don't see how anything that we find tells us what their sleeping arrangements are going to be.

I don't think that's really the intent - the intent is to know what is the bus layout. For no good reason, just because we're curious
Not everything has deep reason.

Prosective date: So, did you and Phil ever have like, a thing?
Dan: We're two P-L-A-T-O-N-I-C friends... what are you even on about...*shoves breadsticks in Givenchy manbag and leaves*

Have I told you lately that I love you?

[SquishPhan]

It won’t tell us anything really, but if people are interested or curious about this kind of stuff then I say why not?

[hunnyftw]

Guys, SOL specifically stated that the're not trying to be rude so let's maybe not attack them too much

That being said,

like what are you getting out of that?

again, this is a gossip forum full of nosy fucks. We're not getting anything substantial out of this stuff and that's the whole beauty of it. I mean, have you seen the combo about Phil notwearing a necklace at PlaylistLive? Talk about pointless. But I guess not everything in life has to have a really significant end goal

[missemma]

Idgaf about their sleeping arrangements, who they sleep with is none of my business. I'm just a general nosey person and wanna see how much luxury they're living in for 60 days, nothing more, nothing less

I suppose, mainly, we're looking to find out what the bus layout is. Like it can be that simple, too, just silly curiousity magnified by D&P bringing everyone's attention to the bus situation. It's not about phan proofing (we could have an actual picture of Dan sleeping on the roof as Phil lounges on a queen-sized bed wanking to a Buffy comix & I'd still be pretty firm on what I percieve the Phan situation to be) for me so much as it's simply about watching my objects of interest do a thing. We're rather used to them being holed up in their apartment, so it's kinda fascinating to see how they behave in the wild, how they navigate the public perception of that (the tweets weren't a smart move, for instance, now everyone and their brother is talking about the bus bedroom situation whereas it'd likely have been kept more low-key otherwise) and how they deal with living in the public eye far more than they've had to for years, for months and months. #busgate is just a lense through which we can view that now. Sure, being able to headcanon about nightime cuddling through it is fun, too, but that's hardly all there's to it. Because no matter what "proof" we dig up, the phandom culture has been set up so that no proof is great enough not to be debunked. The only sure-fire way to confirm anything is theirs. As it should be. But we're bored (so little content, so spoiled), curious and excited by our own collective abilities to entertain ourselves as a community. At least imo.

Let's not attack anyone, at all

Everyone is welcome to express their opinion here, we aren't GG play nice guys.

Well I think quite a few people have said that they understand why D&P would be lying on this topic (if they are) so I don't think for most proving they have lied will mean will mean they are horrible manipulative liars. In some cases lying is not viewed as a bad thing and for me this would be one of them.
And secondly almost everyone seems to agree that sharing a bed would be practical on a tour bus and it doesn't equal Phan being real so even if it was proved beyond a shadow of a doubt they only have one double on their buses no one would think they've exposed them as a couple.

As for why people are so hung up on the bus layout probably for the same reason why people are hung up about whether they have left channelflip or what their house rules were or whatever the hell it was we were discussing before that. The answer isn't because we all think these things will prove Phan or that D&P are awful people but simply because (somewhat sadly) we are interested in everything to do with D&P.

I'll hold my hand up and admit I love this kind of stuff. Anything I've ever gotten into that didn't have a really active fandom usually doesn't hold my interest for long because when I'm into something whether it be a TV show or a youtuber I want to be able to discuss it to death so I can find out every little detail I can. What can I say when I'm into something I'm really into it, I go in deep.

I dunno, if I was another YouTuber I'd probably find it a bit weird, not because of the fangirls and the shipping but because of the legitimate rumors about those two...imagine bringing it up on date.

I get your point but personally I guess I just think anyone they were seriously wanting to date would take them at their word if they say the V-day video really was a prank and that the rumours are nothing more then rumours (particularly if that is actually the truth).

I didn't mean to offend you nor to come off as rude either Let's agree to disagree, shall we?

tru dat missemma, tru dat.

I love this sentence, it's IDB in a nutshell.

Don't mind me contributing nothing of substance, maybe I subconsciously want to quickly get rid of the drama llama rank

[corn flakes]

Here I am a person that doesn't know how to internet but what is the socialblade page for crafts? also as I don't understand the one that I found do they profit from the channel or even if they got the yt plaque they don't?

It wasn't easy to find, but here is the link for the DanAndPhilCRAFTS page on socialblade:
http://socialblade.com/youtube/channel/ ... myW58HpGjA
have ads on for their craft videos so I assume that it means that they profit from the channel.

Thanks SquishPhan now it makes sense.

Also just saw this:

Don't read it's stupid

I'm strange in general, add that I was tired from uni but when Dan says "le's have a meetup" it makes me laugh because it reminds of "let's have a kiki" from glee.

[jaej]

i don't particularly enjoy the more... detailed conversations like the bus layouts. i'd like to see where they're sleeping, and i find some of phil's tweets to be a bit odd in the way they seem like they're explaining a less than logical solution, but when the conversation veers in the direction of trying very, very hard to 'out' them i old info is one thing, pointing out the semi obvious is one thing, searching very hard to sleeping arrangements is another.

aww babe thanks
I personally don't care about the bus lay-out myself, but if that's what people want to do I'm not going to judge them. As long as no actual stalking happens, it seems pretty harmless to me.

not stupid! scissor sisters are exactly the kind of thing I imagine him loving & referencing with joy I'm pretty sure he even mimics the movements from the music video.
oh damn, that makes me happy, daniel casually referencing queer culture things...

[SOL]

just to clarify i didn't mean being curious about the inside of the bus generally (bc i'm curious about that too, i wanna see that vhs luxury), i meant more the bed sharing conspiracy and people thinking they staged those tweets and lied to that fan at the meet and greet or something (when they both said 'me' at the same time) and are maybe lying altogether about the bus having two rooms. the kind of 'haha we caught them in a lie' almost larry-esque stuff is just what i find a bit????

really was not trying to start any drama.. thought i was safe because i used that thumbs up emoticon lmao.............................

[trashqueen]

nothing wrong with asking but next time try to not come off so moral high ground-y that rubs people the wrong way bc we constantly get side eyed for dedicating time to finding information like this but the people that side eye us still lurk and expect us to provide this information, i'm not speaking for myself here though, i didn't find your message that aggressive, i'm trying to explain everyone else's reaction

for me the sherlocking in itself is fun, i took it as a challenge, 'i can and will find their specific buses SPECIALLY if they are trying to throw us off, watch me' and i kind of did so now i'm at peace with myself lol, it goes hand in hand with why i enjoy over analyzing dan (and phil when he allows it, and like, everything else i have an interest in like tv shows and books lol)

and i'm obviously also curious and nosy and i want to know as much about their life as possible, wouldn't be here if i wasn't

Completely agree with everything here. We are here to talk about D&Ps lives and at the moment they are living on a tour bus so of course we all want to know what it WilL be like inside. I am completely nosey so just want to know as much as possible. I am not good at sherlocking but people on here are amazing, which is why I like this place so much.
It is not like we are stalking them, just want to know what they are going to be sleeping in for 3 months!

If we were planning a way of breaking into the bus itself, then we might have a problem

Anyway the moth shirt is back! My favourite Dan outfit and Phil does look good in the plaid!

This! the sherlocking is 90% the reason I stick around here. Half the time when we actually do get a definite answer, it's a bit bittersweet because nowI have to wait for some other 'conspiracy' or mystery to come up. It doesn't even need to be Phan based, I'd be happy sherlocking whether Dan actually wears a wig or not just as much.

I can't believe, however, how secretly disappointed I am that I'm traveling and can't keep up with all these investigations.
