I myself like the theory that dinofvyou1 is actually Pewdiepie.
Lol, PolarFox, we are twins. I had like literally the exact same response when someone earlier in the thread said dinofvyou1 might be Phil.

My friend is a firm believe danisnotonfirevyou1 is actually a joint project of Tyler Oakley and Felix.

my favourite conspiracy theory is that Dan and Phil are youtubers and have channels where they post videos. (and other social media that they update)
If you’re attracted to somebody, you’ll want them to sniff you eventually - Dan
*Phil is turned on by Dan's brilliance* *they kiss* *they have sex in the microwave* - Oqua (actually Phil)

I like to believe that Dan has a side Twitter account where he masquerades as an overexcited teenage Phangirl.

Maybe he is vyou1, maybe he was an active user in another forum, maybe he is a phantaray of sorts in Tumblr

That Dan and Phil are actually massive assholes who let their fame get to their heads. It's my guilty pleasure theory.

Oh and Dan and Phil dated pre-2012, broke up but stayed together for the moolah

I love you because I'm sensing you are a chaotic neutral troll like me who kind of wants them to be happy but also wants to watch the world burn.

Well this is about 100% accurate

And to be frank, the less I believe they're together the less I want them to be happy, but (a) that's a discussion that's not for here and that I ignited several times already, and (b) if I was phan af I'd still want to watch the world burn, who am I even kidding lol

So #phandivorced because Phil likes Muse and Dan likes Radiohead? Well PJ was wearing a Radiohead shirt in one of his latest Intagram pictures. #kickthedan confirmed?

And Dan excluded Phil from his infinite cat dream life. Phandivorce 100% confirmed. Kickthedan to be confirmed, I don't know how Sophie would feel about it

Psh guys, the ship name is Kickthefire. (And I'm so here for it.) #fakePhans smh

I'm hoping it's a thing in an alternative universe.

Or maybe they've been dating the whole time, and Phil and Sophie are just a cover...

I suspected I didn't have it right, but was far too lazy to actually bother to find out for sure.

And, of course, providing the multiverse theory is true there are lots of Kickthefire universes. Probably AU me is very in to it too.

Edited to add: Maybe Phil and Sophie are a thing too? AmazingSophie is real omg.

I have had many (#IDB IRC knows ) but some of them are possibly true or I have forgotten about them.

Totally fake theory:
We have noticed a slight mood shift after this reply:
Now Dan keeps answering to favourite song questions with this: Possibly just being Troll-memey Dan, possibly just listening to that song a lot.
But why? Why is Dan listening to that song a lot?

Ver #1:
Maybe he just recently lost his virginity and is not trolling us.

Ver #2:
Shrek fucked Dan.
The quality content you joined this forum for, blame Dan, I have no shame.

But who the fuck am I kidding? I'm mostly just the rotting banana peel at the bottom of the phan trash can who genuinely gets excited over the thought of them snuggling in bed. Idgaf let a bitch live

I still maintain that this is "their" song, but y'know how they like to keep things personal, hence the references to All Star.

Seems like Nick Jonas told an interesting story on Jimmy Fallon's show...

"nick jonas tells story about getting accidental erection at awards show"
"hey buddy, you didn't feel that, did you?!"

New meaning for #DICK, also "hey buddy, you in London?" - because he didn't want the risk of bumping into and it being all awkward and embarrassing.
