Here is where you can discuss the FAQ, offer any corrections, suggest questions for future FAQ topics, or submit your own posts that you think would be good additions to the official threads!

Hi! Thank you so much for creating the FAQ, I think it's a great idea and it will be very useful!
Unfortunately it isn't really working for me on mobile: it takes a while to load and then it crashes and reloads again when I try to scroll down or click the show more sections. (I have an iPhone 6 and good wifi so that's not likely the problem)
I haven't tried it on desktop mode, though there it probably works.

Thanks a lot for this - I learned so much!

You said PJ and Phil went to the same uni, is this true? I thought they were just on Youtube at the same time, cause PJ is quite a bit younger than Phil and I'm sure he went to uni somewhere down south.

Great job on the FAQ! help I was quoted about 2012 phanpocalypse i am not worthy

An addition to Phil's pets: He had a black and white rabbit called Holly when he was a child and (not sure if it really counts) his grandparents had a dog called Bundle (Golden Retriever?) which he really loved. Both can be seen in 'Reacting to my Baby Videos!'

I'm sorry I have nothing very productive to contribute, but this typo is killing me

PINOF: “ phspoileril is not on fire,” an annual Q&A video that Dan and Phil make together, uploaded on Phil’s channel. The first “phil is not on fire” video was the first video that Dan and Phil ever made together, the day after they met irl for the first time. Here is Phil’s playlist of all the PINOF videos.

But otherwise Seeing it all compiled on one place it is really obvious are so married now

Could you link the post with the typo here, or report it for me, please?

Great work chaps (I'm the dog)
+ does contweets still work? I clicked the links for the Dan-Chris/Phil-Chris/PJ-Chris conversations and it only showed me their most recent interaction in each case. (although I remember looking at it for something else recently and it was fine, so idk.)

(General question that ensued from reading, is any stuff from lavitaricca still available other than the stuff about voldy? I never saw it when it was around)

You're right, they didn't go to the same university. Phil went to the University of York and PJ went to the University for the Creative Arts in Farnham, Surrey (according to his Wiki). I don't think they ever went to uni in the same time frame either considering their age difference. Maybe the cause of the confusion might be that PJ acted in what is thought to probably have been a university project for Phil in the summer of 2009?

Pics from that shoot:

But they're definitely YouTube friends from the pre-Dan era. One of the few Phil kept around

this is a work of art! thank you oq and fel
a couple you could add to the Whos Who is Duncan & Mimei

Just wondering, how do we know that Dan dropped English Literature at AS Level?

Moonbeamsonthepath wrote:Just wondering, how do we know that Dan dropped English Literature at AS Level?

Hmm, now that you ask, I'm actually not sure. I feel like I got this info from somewhere, but looking back at that vyou, nothing he says suggests that he dropped it.

Also there's this tweet where he mentions English, Geography, and Law (and doesn't mention Psychology) but here there is also no indication that he dropped English.



So yeah, maybe I was confused when I wrote that? (Does anyone know if he ever said anything in a liveshow or anything?)

(Also I will reply to other comments and corrections and stuff soon! I just saw this one and felt compelled to answer)

Loved the FAQ, very useful to refresh D&P knowledge and it's pleasing to see everything so well-organised. The who's who section is amazing, so much info! Another person to add could be Phil's school friend Mark who took pictures for DAPGO (I realize the potential friend list is endless).
Probably not suitable thread to ask (sorry), but is there any reference/meaning behind the channel name 'pabloislove' ?

Updated! Thank you!

Dan's bday 2016 happened during the Tatinof tour and I suppose we never heard about any gifts?

I used to be so conflicted before because literally even the hardcoredest demon antiphannies I know would claim the video is an example of great performance from Phil and go on to dismantle it from there and at least one other person agrees it looks like a very technical acting job

I_am_not_alone_no_more.jpg[/offtopic]

Not to completely dismiss this, because I can totally see why you'd think this and sometimes I think about the "scripted" thing too. But one thing that recently kind of changed my perception on it was when people found proof of people commenting on other "leaked" videos on Phil's channel or a similar sort of content. While no other proof of them exist other than the tweets, this kind of changed my mind about what I originally felt sceptic about "the holes" in the possibility of it being real. Then again, then videos could have been "embellishment" or others may completely dismiss it. But I find it a neat thing to sort of think about, to expand what we already know about voldy into a possible broader connection of videos-whether real or fake, based upon interpretation. While it's good to get a reaction to the video outside of the phandom-bias, context is important. Nevertheless, talking about voldy is like beating a dead horse so I'll stop.

Can you please explain what you mean by this? I'm not exactly sure what you're referencing here :wtf:

It's here on IDB, if you go down to the question on a "second v-day video"

I thought the "second vday vid" has been proven not real? At least the sign video. There's basically no proof of it, and those tweets could be talking about any video that was unprivated. There was more than one of Phil's videos unprivated that day, but nothing points to a video besides the vday vid being romantic or even for Dan in general.
(Also question: were those screenshots of the tweets taken by someone here or just found on the internet?)

I took the screenshots.
And yeah, there is no proof that there was another romantic video, necessarily.

I've been meaning to ask...were those accounts you took screenshots of discussing dan, phil, and/or the vday vid at any point? I was a bit confused reading that portion of the FAQ because it mentioned the links they discussed are different from the voldy link. I was just wondering how the connection was made? I assume they were discussing d+p/the vday vid too that day but I just wanted to clarify lol.

Well, unless you count the llamacorn pinata...

Yes, and a big bottle of Patron, which I think is one of the photos that appears in the UK edition, but not the US edition, of DAPGO.

But I guess they don't count because they likely were group gifts from the crew?

In the sexualities thread, where is the 2015 article quote from?

woah this FAQ is a blessing tbh

I'm surprised I've never heard about the second v-day video! Man, I wish we were able to find it.

It's weird seeing the old Dan and Phil deny that Dan had been a total fangirl. I remember reading old fanfiction and reading what people considered the truth and stuff.

The meeting time line and the vday thread, all the images are dead. Says they need something for 3rd party hosting.

Yeah, a couple of the FAQ pages have issues like that. Going through and updating each page is on our to do list, but we've not gotten to it yet.
