The Planets at BBC Proms was the other day (https://www.bbc.co.uk/events/ed6qwh) so the boys must have been home at least for two days already.

ETA: Thanks for that skin care thing bluecaterpillar <3

I cannot believe they’ve been home since Sunday. They actually managed to confuse all of us. I’m slightly impressed. I don’t trust that dan’s picture was from today either

this makes my inner classical music nerd so happy (and also envious ngl!). 'the planets' is one of my favourite things to listen to when i'm studying, it must have been amazing hearing it performed live at the proms!

they've got 100x sneakier with the timing of their social media updates - remember when they just delayed tweets by a few hours or maybe a day? :lol:

Agreed. This music nerd is super jealous.

We were right to assume that pic at the Venetian=return trip.

I'm just trying to imagine him softly weeping for the symphony for Jupiter you can hear in that little video.

Starts at 1:30. Just going through 2010-2012 videos to get both Manchester apartments as close as I can in the Sims.
I love old-school Phil. I especially love him managing to pour water all over Dan rather than into the triops tank. :rofl:

Thirded. This looks gorgeous, and it makes me want to live in a city like London so much - so many opportunities to see all these incredible performances...

I don’t trust their posting schedules generally so not even surprised that they’ve been home for days but well done on making everyone guess and be confused.

I'm actually really sad for Tony :c

I'm mildly disturbed by how cheerful the IG announcing Tony's death is. It's probably the Disney music. You okay there, Philly?

Dan is so pretty :( I always love when he posts pics like that. He knows he's cute and it looks good on him.
As for Tony... Let's hope Phil's next pet will be a bit more interactive. :undertaledog:

Those sneaky shits! I’m not surprised about them being home for that long, but that no one saw them at Proms?! *Sigh* Honestly they deserve an evening undisturbed and I’m happy for them. The Planets is indeed beautiful. I was about to say you don’t have to love near a big city to enjoy it as I drove out of the city to an area surrounded by a National Park to experience it, but then I remembered Blossom is the summer home of the Cleveland Orchestra and we’re just privileged to experience both culture and nature at the same time. :oops: Huh what a strange coincidence that I watched ‘I AM GOD’ today, though forgive me if I’m skeptical that Tony died *today* Philip.

Can't believe #riptony is actually trending on twitter right now. I saw people mentioning it and figured it was probably a personalized trend, but nope.

I love it, it's been a while since the phandom has been able to confuse the hell out of unenlightened people. :ribena:
