#vyou 2012

Oh, okay, so he fully has certain Romeo and Juliet scenes memorized. This isn't a Benvolio monologue, but he was on stage at the time...So did Dan just memorize what every character said when he was on stage? And remember in YEARS later?

Does that mean he wasn't reading from the screen in Hard Launch?

So we were all wrong when it comes to how ball lighting went.

Phil was visiting his parents in early September 2012 and he did a bit of a house tour, including the bunk bed room

No one's phanart got it even close to right, and I don't blame you.

You see them compared to the window at 39:01

I dunno, I always thought the window butt up to them, but I don't really have a good reason for that. Definitely didn't imagine the colors of the room, that's for sure.

Dan having to find the most convoluted way to not say too quickly that he would be fine waking up finding his boyfriend of three years naked next to him

I don't know why he felt the need to answer every question. I really don't.

[otherwaybabe]

Some context of Dan's feelings on lighting in general to put the ball lighting story into perspective.

Also, there should be phics of Dan and Phil kissing in a thunderstorm....are there any?

[otherwaybabe]

I need someone to make a Phan edit of this video

And all the times that Dan said we/us/our in the last few months (starting with how, apparently WE don't hate pears)

[otherwaybabe]

Could you....not redo a VYou? Like, why stay filming when your boyfriend may have started a fire?

[otherwaybabe]

I guess that was direct enough.

[otherwaybabe]

I have a new theory...

In 2012 pretty much every time Dan opened his mouth he was talking about wanting to get married. And Phil wasn't much better.

Here are two examples:

This starts as a conversation about a reality show and then quickly changes.

Want to especially bring your attention to 58:30 and Phil's "Let's do it" which no, is absolutely not about being a wedding planner.

What if they did?

Not legally, I mean it literally wasn't legal, but what if they had a small ceremony and consider themselves married cause at the time, that was the best they could do.

I mean if it was in the apartment or like Bryony's back yard, no one would know. PJ officiates, and it would probably include those two plus Sophie, Louise, the Lesters, Ian and Lindsey, and Chris (that was a mistake)

I know the fandom has joked about this FOREVER, but like....I'm not kidding when I say that for the past few months (I'm in September 2012) they've been talking about it CONSTANTLY.

They wanted to get married SO badly.

So maybe they did.

Maybe the reason Dan is seemingly against marriage and it's just a piece of paper is because they already did the thing and they didn't get a piece of paper cause they couldn't.

I know this sounds like I've gone off the deep end but just watch those clips.

Or, alternatively, they wanted to and then the second leak happened and everything changed.

I guess I'll see.
