Is this text thingy fake af? Yes, it is!
Fake:

^ most tweets you see shared around are actually real, however this one is not

Fake:
Image
^ real pic of Dan but he never wrote that

Tumblr post:
Image
^pic of Dan from his 2009 Dailybooth, but again he never wrote that, it's a joke text by a fan on tumblr

Fake:
Image
^ "I was obsessed with Phil", nope, not an actual interview answer

The real deal:
Image

Is that actually Dan/Phil? No, it's not.
This is not Phil hugging Dan:
Image

And this is not Dan hugging Phil:
Image

They are both hugging this guy:

Here is a version of the Dan gif (you can see it's the same guy as Phil was hugging, and you can see Phil in the frame):

(And here is Phil's hug as a gif)

This is not Dan:
Image
It's ~probably~ Dylan Scoville, not the porn double but an adult film star all the same.
(Fun fact: he's gotten a tattoo since)
Is this photo a joke? Indeed it is.

The girl is Bryony, long term friend of Dan and Phil and in a relationship with Wirrow. Here's another photo from the same event, note the dress:

Frankenweenie premiere 10th October 2012, Phil talks about it in his video One Direction Animal Impressions! (1:48 & 2:08)

Also:
This must be an edit! Err no actually that one's 100% real
We will fill this in if and when people ask about a specific picture in the main thread. :thumb:

100% real
