I'm cringing so hard about this whole fake-dan drama, it's obvious that it's not dan (who 'forgets' who they are? Come on. And him asking fans to run this account with him? Yeah as if. I bet these are the same kids who hacked his accounts and pretended to have all this insider knowledge and lied about things like 'dan used to threaten to kill himself in like 2012 if phil ever broke up with him' for attention) it's ridiculous. :sideeye: :roll:

my eyes can't roll farther back into my head when i read the crap the danandwho account is spouting out. does anyone remember that kid who ripped up their copy of tabinof (and then made a female version of dan channel a little later for some reason? maybe this was all a fever dream from early last year..), but anyway i have a strange feeling it's that kid again...

regardless, this whole situation is ridiculous, and unfortunately expected because shit like this literally happens every 4-6 months in the phandom :roll:

I'm surprised few people are commenting on this, if this is true, then congrats, Dan. I don't think he got nearly enough attention for it and recognition for what it was, even by the phandom.

I never saw it when it was up on the BBC site, but I like that the art for the movie is just Dan's face.

I've still got the super gamers doc saved on my DVR from when it was originally broadcast! I've watched it a few times: even though I know nothing about esports and am not really that interested, an hour of 'serious documentary daniel' is too good to delete :) Good thing I didn't delete it as it doesn't look like UK Netflix has it anyway :sideeye:

I would love it so much if Dan did another documentary on a subject that means a lot to him. He's a great presenter, somebody commission him! :love1:

I've always wanted to see that again, since the only time I actually saw it was bootlegged on youtube somewhere when it came out.

Also... that was only in 2016? I thought it was like early 2015! I have no sense of time.

i don't think it would be. that person has been all over every site there is (here, tumblr, twitter) doing messy stuff but they seem to at least want to get better now, maybe just to try and salvage their reputation among the last site that'd have them (guru gossiper). but yeah haha that all happened, i was 'friends' with them for a little while but they were friends with all kinds of people including celebrities allegedly so :roll:

I suspect they're going to have a little break after Spooky Week/Baking/Dogs and not upload anything for a few days. Of course, I hope I'm wrong!

Oh I could be wrong but I thought they made it in 2015 but it came out like February 2016

Not if one or both of them are in Florida.. :tinfoil:
tbh I wouldn't mind some solo gaming every once in a while though, stream or not. I will never give up hope for a solo Phil Shelter 2.
Thanks and have a great day! Oil me

Omg babies I love the plushies so much, especially the Moguri one 💙 also I'm a big :garbage: but every time they reference FF my heart melts
Will probably never be over the BONCAS and the beauty of Phil Lester.

That picture is so cute but the fact that we know it's been delayed by two days definitely makes me raise an eyebrow. It would be a good way to throw the scent off if Phil (or both!) are flying out.

Yeah, definitely. They're probably traveling if they're using their stored photos to tweet.

damn i heard the ff shop was a nightmare to get into, like if you're lucky you get a small timeslot where you're allowed in, and people going to the distant worlds ff music show weren't allowed a time slot to go in. it also can't be a delayed pic by much, can it? the shop only opened up yesterday
my name is jaejmine masters and i have something to say. dan and phil have fucked up japan :japhan:

i'm assuming there was some sort of soft opening because they were sighted there the day before yesterday with a fan, right?

Yeah the tweet was Nov 2 so two days ago. Maybe it was a soft open, then.

oh okay. i did a lot of my poking around in the early hours of the morning so my brain has left out a lot of details and along with that i don't have any connections (following on certain platforms etc..) with that person. also i'm sorry if this was a little offensive or crude of me! i just remember reading and watching all that stuff and being like 'wow this a lot and messy' lol

Since there isn't so much going on right now, I was wondering if you guys had any more correlation requests for the Dan and Phil survey. I've been asked to help out and have been crunching the numbers for a while now, and the results look very promising and interesting, and I'm looking forward to sharing them :D For example, respondents who are active in forums are on average two years older than the rest of the phandom, and people who send premium messages on YouNow are significantly younger than those who do not.

Here's the list that I am currently working on (https://danandphilsurvey.tumblr.com/correlations ) and here are the questions that were asked (https://danandphilsurvey.tumblr.com/question-list-2017 ). If you'd like to hear about any connections, let me know! I am sure you guys would have some interesting requests.

All these florida theories are really interesting, but is it just speculation that the lesters are in florida specifically or do we know for sure?
Didn't phil say a while ago that he'd been invited to his grandpa's birthday? Has that happened already? I honestly can't remember. Or could it be where Martyn's going? Though, to be fair, it wouldn't make much sense to bring swim shorts, if that were the case.. :hmmm:

It's definitely just speculation, but it's speculation based on the fact that Phil's family takes multiple trips to Florida per year and last year Phil left on the 4th of November so one of them was around this time.
