Dan & Phil Part 55: DOWN IT! DOWN IT! DOWN IT!

[alittledizzy]

New Phil tweet.

I'll let ratephantweets take over from there:

But I will give 10/10 to this phanart that Dan and Phil both liked variations of. Phil liked this one:

And Dan liked the header version:

There are old tweets about him dyeing his hair himself and accidentally covering the bathroom with dye so he at least used to do it himself.

Do you mean the "dying my hair. trying not to turn the entire bathroom black" one? I feel like I would use "dyeing my hair" to refer to if I was getting my hair dyed, no matter who was doing the dyeing.

Something about the wording makes me think Phil was doing it himself- if it was a professional doing it for him, why would he be worried about the dye getting everywhere? Surely a trained hair dresser wouldn't stain a bathroom, but an amateur dye-master like Phil might.

re: phil's hair. i was rewatching cat's vlog with her new puppy and at one part you can see phil's roots coming in on the top of his head in natural lighting so i think it gives a pretty accurate look at his natural color.

When's the last time I've seen even a hint of Phil's natural hair color??? Thanks for pointing it out! I think it's a bit lighter naturally than what might suit him best, but I wonder what dark brown would look like... part of me wishes he would dye his hair less and let it grow out! Please Fabrice, stop this madness and give the lad a proper haircut!!

Um could I please get a dan styles phil video? Clothes/outfit as mentioned before but also hair? More dans hair salon? Is that really too much to ask?

It's true that a trained professional wouldn't make a mess, or be in Phil's bathroom for that matter, I was thinking more of Dan or a personal friend of Phil's dyeing his hair.

So the only youtubers i watch regulary (religiously) are Deppy. But yesterday i came across Markipliers most recent (i think) video; where he uploaded a cover of Ed Sherrans "Thinking Out Loud" while also playing the guitar , and he said sth about this bieng a secret project he talked about with his like more regular viewers. And this got me thinking about "that week in March"
Okay hear me out
Didnt Dan say sth at the beggining of the year about getting like professional piano lessons to play better or sth. And one the of the theories about that "that week in March" is that it might be a secret project. What if this secret project is perhaps a duet with Dan playing the piano and Phil singing since we all know he has a deep voice and (in my imagination atleast) thats like good singing material, considering what we've heard before.
I dont know, i probably shouldnt waste more time imagining this because im only torturing myself but you know we never expected that Amazing baking video either or ever imagined that Dan would ever actually curl Phils hair for us on camera but it is 2017 (post baking universe and all ) So just
(Also I am in LOVE with all the emojis )

I think you are half right: I don't think Phil will be singing, but I do believe Dan is practicing to play piano either in a ls or vid. I feel very certain of this now that you pointed out the possibility. That week in March was probs him interviewing or trying out chemistry with various piano instructors. Sounds like a horrible week for someone with social anxiety. It makes so much sense too about him needing more time. Also, in a ls in the new apartment there was hinting that he would play something in the future. I really think an IDBer is going to be proven right once again! Premature congratulations!

My dear, sweet little Phannies, allow me to throw you a bone because you are so far off it's not funny.

Dan and Phil no longer live together. They make appointments to film videos together. Most of the "apartment" you see is a studio. They are very committed to the brand, not so much to the relationship.

I know it's hard when an illusion is crushed. Consider it crushed. It was over a long time ago. It was only ever about views and £££.

old news, phil's secret family and the two apartments theory gave it away plus we even leaned in "who's your youtuber bff" video that Phil's best friend is actually Stampy Cat, not Dan... In fact, I've heard a rumor that Phil's planning to drop Dan altogether and start the Stampy and Phil Games channel we were promised back in 2015!

[DnP Insider]

Lol, your confidence is delicious.

Their relationship is only what you imagine it to be. It pays their bills.

They're friends, nothing more. They holiday together with Bryony. They take great delight in taking photos/videos that will get you talking.

With a name like DnP Insider how can we not believe you?? Shower me with your gospel truth sister! Show me the light!!

(I'm on mobile so I really REALLY hope this works)

[LtrllySusan]

DnP insider is clearly Phil's wife who is unhappy that she still has to share him with Dan.

For real though, none of us know if they are just putting on a giant show. Though that amount of commitment and acting skills would definitely deserve an Oscar.

You're behind. Come back when you got real tea, not this weak lemonade.

[DnP Insider]

Believe me, don't believe me. The illusion will continue for a while yet. They're very good at what they do. Call me a disgruntled ex-employee if you like. It's close enough. Just think carefully about what you've been shown and whether what I've said adds up.

If you think it doesn't, fair enough. Nothing I can say will convince you. Doesn't bother me either way.

i think this would be slightly amusing, if it wasn't the argument(conversation, more like) that has already been had over and over again, and is also what you see on most "DAN AND PHIL ARE HORRIBLE PEOPLE!!! PHAN ISN'T REAL!!!!!! THEY'RE QUEERBAITING!!!!!!! THEY JUST WANT YOUR STUPID 13 YEAR OLD PHANNIE'S MONEY!!!!" posts floating around. mix that with a tone that implies you think you're doing a big favor by letting us in on this "insider" information and i'm just rolling my eyes
edit to add: also, this is one of the most basic "theories" lol try harder

We have actual Dan @cherrybomb3 on this forum, no one cares what an ex-employee has to say.

Go on then, I'll bite.

If you've got so much inside information: how much longer is the 'illusion' going to continue for, and how do you think they're going to break the news to us that they secretly hate each other.

[smol beans]

how do you guys feel about dan or/and phil collaborating with other youtubers?
i know they've been in a few others this past year and included anthony in both of their channels but i personally really like all the old collab videos they've done with louise, joe, tyler, etc.
i just watched ricky dillon's video (where he has mentioned dan and phil a few times) and i genuinely think he's a sincere person and throughout some of his videos since ive noticed people leave comments that he should collab with them.
is this a likelihood that could happen?
i wonder how many collab offers these two get from american youtubers when they go to vidcon or playlist and how many they've said no to....
ricky is also good friends with shane dawson and i know D&P wouldn't collab with shane (which is sad because dan has mentioned shane in good light regarding his interest in starting youtube and he's even mentioned in TABINOF) but with his [shane] past and recent conspiracy theories revolving around them [dan and phil], it seems like a slim chance.
i just wonder if associations with youtubers they both may not want to get mixed with refrains from other youtubers to have a chance to collab with them.

[alittledizzy]

how do you guys feel about dan or/and phil collaborating with other youtubers?

I do feel like they're increasingly insular, but I think part of it might be that there seems to be less overlap between Flipside and Gleam these days. They're not relying on each other's audiences to boost their own views - I don't know if that's just because there were diminishing returns on it or what.

It seems more likely that they'd collab with American youtubers, but they might be at a point where they just consider it something they'll do because they want to or like the person they asked (Anthony, Shawna, Cat) and not because it will hugely benefit them. I mean, did Dan or Phil get any kind of subscriber boost from Anthony? It looked like Anthony got most of the benefit there.

Ooh, just as I was about to hit submit I remembered Rosanna. That was last year, not this year, but that actually might have been them doing a collab with a youtuber because the youtuber had more subscribers than them.

I knew Janice was planning on taking Phil away, I just didn't want to believe it had already happened. Oh well. Guess it's time to pack up from all my old days of believing this lie.

[onetruetrash]

Oh my god, this is amazing. Is one of them married already too? No one is that dumb, sorry. Gice me some proof or say something that actually makes sense.

I'd say we've only got about another three years. Dan did say that he might get a girlfriend when he's 29. He just wanted to spend his twenties playing video games with his platonic friend/flat mate/frequent YouTube collaborator. (It's just convenient is all.)
Dan won't handle the pressure of turning 30 nearly as well as Phil has, he'll have another crisis, move out, then find a lovely wife and have some lovely children. 2022 was never going to happen when 2020 comes first. Stay woke people.

To me this sounds more like salty Sabrina finally having found her way out of the attic. Now she's trying to destroy Phil by any means possible.

I can't believe Dan and Phil secretly fired Maryanne and now she's joined idb to spill the tea. Wild.

I thought it was the OP replying for a second.

To be fair you might be on to something... if anyone is going to have a huge 'turning-30' crisis it's Dan. He'll move out from Phil, rebrand into a prank channel and start featuring women in bikinis in his thumbnails. The signs are all there!

well, shit. you've convinced me. i've had a complete paradigm shift. everything i knew to be true and real is suddenly false and inconsequential. 8 years worth of affirmative posts and tweets and videos all down the drain, because an anonymous insider has let me know otherwise.

cancel my phan-scription, y'all. i have seen the light.
