#phandomfbi

i have a feeling this is someone in the pfbi but checking the rules from the original blog’s awards you’re technically allowed to nominate yourself so i’m just going to go with it

Surely you've all seen the much anticipated texting video. However, yet again our good, good boys have lied to us about something harmless and weird! Let's decide it, shall we?

In the new video we are greeted with this amazing conversation:

Which is featured with no header/contact name and has no other conversations before or after it! That's already strange and slightly suspicious, however we can't forget that we've seen part of this already before!

In PINOF 9 bloopers:

At the 1:51 mark we find out that these would be Dan's last words, and not only that but Phil has a weird reaction to it.

Phil: "What does that mean? Her pain places?"

If Phil received this text why was he so confused?

Why did one version have "stretch" and the other "work"? Was this really about a yoga instructor, or was Phil seeing someone for an injury from some sort of exertion?

Even more odd, they said these texts were from the beginning of the year, yet they did PINOF 9 in November. Was he texting the same thing to someone else?

We don't know the answers, you get to decide.

So today we got an ask from someone who wished to remain anonymous voicing this concern:

"So the infinity war ticket doesn't match up with the time of the instagram story. And Dan posted his instagram story two hours later saying he just finished infinity war. Explain please. I don't know if it's because they just wanted to get out of there before the fans somehow tracked them down through the ticket, but why did Dan post an instagram story six hours after Phil's movie ended. The only thing I can think of is that they're watching two different shows, but they said in their before Tour live show that they were going to watch it together? I'm confused please help Sincerely a girl who doesn't want to post this on blog directly in fear of judgement."

Now, I do have a theory for this! So let me attempt to assuage any fears or concerns any of you might have over this topic.

Firstly, I do absolutely believe that they would post after the time they went to avoid fan run-ins but I don't think that's all that is at play here. Let me provide the two instagram stories in question:

and

Now since I literally just took these shots I had to do a little bit of math to whittle down to the actual times. Since they're in the UK, they're 6 hours ahead of my time which means Phil posted his story around 8pm his time while Dan posted his story around 10pm. On first glance this does seem to be misleading as to when they went or if they went together. Personally, I believe they went together and they went at the time on the ticket, 4pm. But why did Dan post 2 hours after Phil? Because they were definitely busy doing something else. But furthermore, Phil didn't post his picture directly before going to see the film, he posted it after. The "Shook" you see at the top of the screen is actually Phil's reaction to having seen the film, not his anticipation of how the film would make him feel. See, he posted Tweet 30 minutes before he posted his insta story which corroborates the idea that his story was a reaction to the movie.

Dan, then, posted a story without any picture and instead as a white background with text at 10 pm probably because he was in bed already cuddling his husband. That story was his reaction to the film that he likely forgot to post earlier. Here's how I think it went:

They go see a 2~3 hour long earthshattering movie that apparently kills off all the best characters. Then, after sitting through the credits for the end scenes, the boys went out for a late dinner. On the way out Phil snaps his insta story of the ticket because when has he not been the guy who loves to keep fans updated?? Dan, still processing it and probably having that horrible dread one often experiences when finishing a favourite book in which characters you love die, has some cocktails and when he climbs into bed he realized he forgot to post a story reaction to the movie and quickly did so. Or, he let Phil do it for him due to the lack of typos Dan usually has on his posts even when he's sober.

tl;dr they saw the movie together, they are just celebrities who have to lie about when they go out so they can have a date in peace thank you for coming to my ted talk

recently, the phandom fbi posted a statement relating to the Dan and Phil game, "Truth Bombs". our statement provided information about the early 'leak' of the game, as well as photo evidence of it.

the website Tubefilter - which is a company best known for Tubefilter News, a blog self described as "the leading web television trade publication in Hollywood", and is responsible for operating the Streamy Awards - picked up our post and not only quoted it, but linked to us in their article discussing the topic of the game. below is a screenshot of the article and a link to it for those interested in reading further.
