Also, I've been bored the past 2 days when I could have been having fun reading this last 2 pages!!! I even eat my popcorn while watching anime yesterday, I could have eat it while reading this instead :(


I forgot what thread I was reading until the flowers came up.

Just seen Dan's instagram stories which is cool, until someone pointed out he might be paid for using it/advertising for Instagram? (as he visited the HQ with Phil recently-ish)

Thoughts?

Trigger Warning :
CONSPIRACY THEORY
Dan's signature at the bottom of the rules looks nothing like "Dan Howell." It looks like it says "Dan Lester." That is all.

no hate man, but that is definitely not a 'D'. That's a 'P", so it has to be Phil's signature.

Which one are you talking about because the right signature is definitely Phil because of the P and the left one must've been Dan, and for me it really looks like a D.

(although I think we've solved this a few months ago by comparing it to his clearer signature, he really wrote Dan Howell but with an elaborate swirl(?) at the end)

I do not expect to look through this forum and see MULTIPLE people going against the rules, yet not get a warning for it? Yes I did hack into Charlie's account, but that wasn't PUBLIC information. Only those following my twitter account knew, which wasn't a lot of people. Dan isn't a mental health professional but you think if some 12 year old emails him all the time for 4 years, to the age of 16 that he'd reply ONCE but he didn't. And the email wasn't just due to my friend, but the mindset I had back then.

What do you mean by that? I'm "strange" and "questionable" because no one FUCKING TALKS TO ME. They go and screenshot and link shit that I've said and say "OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO SHE'S FUCKING MENTAL AHHHHHH HOPE SHE GETS SUED AND DIES!!!!!!!!!!" onto here. No one ever says,"hey, why did you do ...... and .....?". I'd happy explain but the phandom doesn't give anyone any chance to speak, let alone breathe.

The "fake hacking Dan" was meant to be serious, it wasn't a joke because I was trying to gain the hate from my friend and put it onto me.

And I'm far from a good place, and looking at all this shit being spewed about me makes me feel 100x worse.
To be honest though. People call you heartless for diverting attention to yourself so your friend could calm down. You 'hacked' Charlieskies with a friend who found his details by accident and caused him to speak to your friend. Then you decided to become his defence squad and got his seal of approval cause Charlie's friend said you and your friend were sweet for making a twitter dedicated to him. Then you decide to talk to a person who used to talk w/ Dan and Phil... Then you realise your friend met a person who is also connected, and find out your friend knew the person because they asked your friend what the hacking thing meant.

And how did you find that friend? Because you were trolling Facebook and the person saw something in you that reminded her of herself.

Your life is exciting and slightly scary if you look at it. And it is understandable that people judge. They don't know you and are just curious and want to be sure to tell you that you "probably don't know anything" or "that they know things too or have insider friends too"

People call you heartless and inconsiderate as well. If you really were heartless then you wouldn't protect dan and phil at all. But you are protecting info... i am sure the contract thing is to ensure that you and your friends don't spill. It might not be a legal bond but it is just like a promise ring. It is to show trust and if you break it then you lose a dear friend. That might sound weird but agreements happen loads when it comes to friendships. So I don't know how putting it on paper and making it look official makes it 'unnecessary.' Your friend even asked a law student and a lawyer to look through it. It is all just practice for the real thing, if that ever happens.

How do I know this? Let's say I've talked with your friend... and she told me she might go and meet dan and phil next year.

I hope she doesn't get in trouble or something.

I feel like I'm shouting into the wind, but knock it off. This whole subject is far too personal for here, and to call it off-topic would be too mild.

Stick to what the thread title says, or don't post.

My favourite theory that I thought of not that long ago is that Dan and Phil actually started dating in 2012 and because they've always normally just been friends and have no experience in covering up a relationship, that's why Dan got all over-protective and all that other 2012 drama jazz, just because it made them upset on not being able to be open with it all. Also, they wouldn't be able to be open with it all because Phil was scared of the people who are against their relationship and might hate on them.

Or..
I come up with the perfect conspiracy theory last night when I couldn't sleep about 2012 drama
It was all publicity stunt aimed at their most devoted fans. Think about it; nothing actually happend, they were still living together, making videos as usual, they even said themselves everything was fine, except all the phan denial that was happening. And with it they created this whole big mistery that is phan. They do have a history of tricking their viewers and people love mysteries. Dan and Phil love mysteries and ambiguity works for them because now they can get away without making statements that could alienate some viewers. Without it, their entire internet presence would be almost completely without drama ergo boring.

Let's go deeper.. They know exactly what they are doing and it was something they were planning to do on some scale since before they met, and their sudden jump in subscribers just triggered the decision to mix things up more. And we actually have no idea what is happening in their private life; which is that Dan is married to his career and a complete workaholic and Phil has a secret wife and a child on the Isle of Man.

But I don't believe that last part :lol:

I mean its not a theory, its a truth, declared by deppy themselves, even though it doesn't seem to be plausible at all.

However everything that tries to disprove the it as a prank, are theories, no matter how close they are to the real truth. :( Sadly.

I have this weird conspiracy theory that Dan's ear piercings have closed up and he doesn't wanna get them done again. And he just keeps saying that he loses the earrings/doesn't wanna wear them because he doesn't wanna tell everyone what really happened. I don't think there's any proof to it unless there's new hd photos of Dan's ears. And can piercings close up even years after you get them done? (I don't have mine done so I really don't know anything about piercings.) But really, when was the last time we saw Dan with earrings?? Because I don't think he's worn them at all this year.
We're here, we're queer, we're filled with existential fear!

I believe he last wore them on the Halloween baking video, yup. Anyway, ear piercings take a very long time to close, I actually spent a year and a half without wearing any earrings and were still open.

some people have a theory where they were always platonic but both had crushes on
each other and recently confessed their love. I think that would be hilariously ironic, doing all that analyzing for nothing.

Either way, the holes are clearly visible in photos taken this week.
He's stated he often just forgets to put them in, or doesn't bother if he's not going anywhere. He wasn't wearing them in the "will we survive australia" vid, so unless he remembered to pack them, I guess he was busy doing other stuff on the day they left.

Back when I followed phannies on insta, some people thought they had skinny love and were too shy to say it.

I'm sorry... It's 3am, I'm sleepy af and I'm bad at wording things. Some people belive they have liked each other since 2009 but either didn't do anything about it or recently told each other their feelings.
