Holy. Shit. Your post is preaching the truth right now. So much. Esp this part because years ago, he brought up the idea of losing the fringe, but now it's 2017 and it's still there. Why? Is it a security blanket? Can Dan inspire him to make the leap? Please?

Phil's Singapore insta is honestly ruined by that lego hair he calls a fringe. Like, I love the guy, but jfc change can be good. At this point, it's like a backwards mullet with how much he's shaved off the back. And, honestly? The saddest part is how good he looks with his hair pushed back:
Sigh.

I agree 100%, it's honestly frustrating seeing how Dan's beautiful changes aren't being reflected in Phil too - all the more so because Phil is already stunning. Is the hairstyle above the one most people would like to see on Phil?

Agreeing with all this. I used to love Phil's hair, when it was the same sort of style but more fluffy and less ironed flat to his head. I'm not keen on his hair pushed back, but it looks far better than his current style. I think he'd suit something slightly spiky. There was a moment in the silver hair video when he was working the goop through, and it was all mussed up where I thought, dayum Philip that should be your new style.

Dan's change in hairstyle and clothing has definitely brought out a desire in me to see Phil keep up with Dan. However, I respect that he must be happy with his current choices. His response to people saying they would miss his glasses if he gets eye surgery applies here, "It's really about my life." Or something along those lines. That probs wasn't an exact quote.

Also don't know where to say this so will just add it here. I'm new to IDB, so I've been going back and reading all the posts about some past events such as Dan's RYC. So much good banter! Good roasts of Phil. I like to think deppy could appreciate IDB as the most mature and i depth discussion of their vids. So I hope any insight or humor I can contribute can rise to the level you all have displayed.

(Sorry pic is v big but Dan painted his nails again. Pretty cute.)

Also the location is Melbourne Airport? Has the Australian thing they went to over already? Maybe they'll pop over to Japan.

Just when you think it can't get any better! Can't wait for what he wears to tomorrow's show. Will he keep the nail polish on? First Phil with the Dan face squishes, then the m&g pics with a fan squishing, now dan squishing himself! dancest

Ahhh pretty!! I wonder if that was because someone gave him the nail polish again, or he bought it himself?

No, they would have arrived here today as the Melbourne convention is tomorrow

He mentioned in a live show that he had glitter polish. So he had to remember to pack it to provide us this gift. Last time he didn't even self post the nails. This is better.

Oh, true! Completely agree with you, I think it is significant that he chose to post the picture himself this time. He seems so confident lately (not saying he is, but he comes across that way), it's really heart-warming to see. Melbourne has truly been blessed

oh wow Seeing dan being this happy and confident and bold with his fashion choices lately is making me so happy and proud (and also inspiring me to step up my own fashion game tbh; I'm strongly considering buying yesterday's ripped topman jeans for myself). Also the contrast (hot to soft) between today and yesterday's pic is just glorious.

wow I wish I had less emotions about this I am loving seeing Dan's exploration of style/presentation, seeing him being less safe in his choices (not that I haven't liked his previous choices, he's just perfectly sat in my sense of style now!). I loved the long lines of the shirt (once I got over the surprise vs his seated picture!), and I love how soft and pleased he looks in this pic and how willing he is to share - this is something so subtle we probably wouldn't have noticed without this post. On the one hand fuck him we're all dying here, but I do really love seeing his confidence in posting pictures like that. He knows full well what he's doing to us! Although it's kinda odd that he's not tweeted either of these? Just posted them on instagram/tumblr.

I agree with others that it'd be nice to see more exploration from Phil, too. I do like his sense of style as is, I think it suits him and I'd be surprised if it changed much tbh, but it'd be super cool to just to see more within it - like that funky birdprint shirt he showed in A Very Sleepless Night With Phil! - rather than the 10 or so shirts he currently rotates. He doesn't seem to care about fashion as much as we know Dan does, but maybe seeing Dan having fun with it could inspire him to keep his eyes open a bit.

Who needs the Easter Bunny and a pile of chocolate when you have Dan blessing us with these sweet, sweet selfies

did he take that selfie on a plane? i genuinely hope he didn't paint his nails there because i'd hate to be stuck on an aircraft smelling of nail polish.

happy easter to everyone that celebrates it

It does look like it, he looks like he's next to the windows. Laughing at the smell comment, I'd be the same.

Happy Easter to those who celebrate it. I was given about 5 chocolate easter eggs so i'm about to put on some weight.

Last time I wondered if he was comfortable with the painted nails, because it came on the back of everyone pressuring him to do it, and he didn't post a picture.
So when I saw this I was really happy.

He does seem so comfortable with himself and he looks so good. Happy Easter/chocolate day, people .

I never really hopped on the nail polish train since I didn't figure Dan would try a colour other than black, but I've been secretly hoping he'd do a light pink or something that isn't as bold as black. So in other words, these glitter nails have me feeling very content. I wonder how long he'll keep it on. I'm not going to get my hopes up, but part of me really hopes he likes it and brings it back every once in while, it looks so cute

I'm happy to see the jat make a return, and you can see how dark and pretty his eyelashes are... this is just such a good picture. He's been killing me recently with all these new looks and photos.

I agree that he seems very confident as of lately, and as cheesy as it sounds, I hope that's exactly how he feels.

It also looks to me like he took this on the plane. I assume he didn't paint them on the plane though as I'm pretty sure he said himself the he doesn't like the smell (ruins the calming experience or something like that) so I doubt he would put other people through it. I personally love the smell of nail polish, but I can understand how someone wouldn't.

Looks like they were spotted at the airport:

Yes, I'm pretty sure that's the difference. Last time I kept seeing everyone screaming "PAINT YOUR NAILS" at him and I'm pretty sure he had people freak out about it at the M&G as well. I think he did it when he wasn't very confident about it or didn't think it looked good or something, so he immediately took it off and he might have regretted it. I think he wasn't ready. Hence no selfie.

But things are very different this time: He embraces his curls, he makes bolder fashion choices, he posts selfies that radiate confidence, etc. I genuinely believe that he's more confident now or at least had a confidence boost for some reason and I love it. It seems to me that this time, he put the nail polish on because he himself wanted to do it and thought it would look good. And that's why he posted a picture of it. Because he felt confident about himself, not because he felt pressured to do it. I also believe people haven't bothered him with "PAINT YOUR NAILS" lately (?).

Last time, I wasn't very happy about him painting his nails because it felt so forced, this time I smiled. I may not be a fan of all of his style choices but I am a fan of him expressing himself the way he wants And the nail polish does look great!

Also, Happy Easter, I'm not religious, I'm just celebrating it for the food, alcohol, and spending time with my family

I'm kinda loving how you can only read the 'sexual' part on his sleeve Makes for an interesting M&G pic.

Random outpouring of thoughts: bless dan in both of those selfies, I wish I had legs as long as his I'm insanely jealous, and there's no way he knows about base coats so lol enjoy getting that glitter off. I think the reason Phil won't push his hair back is because although Phil looks gorgeous with his hair pushed back he does look like a 30 year old man when his hair is pushed back and I think he's a bit self conscious of his age (I am fully team freetheforehead) also last part of the ramble thank you ooqa for the natural voice/encouraging dan compilations they're great

maybe they both wanted to change their styles but didn't want to do it at the same time (as to make it more gradual and maintain brand recognition), so they settled it via rock/paper/scissors. dan won, so he gets to do it first while phil is per contract obliged to keep his old style for four more months. but look forward to august: that's when pushed back hair!phil will rise. (it's also, coincidentally, what dan was so stressed about in march. "ask me about that week in march" -- this explains why we have to wait until august to ask him about it, because that's when the new phil will have emerged.) wake up! it's all out there!

Hi everyone!
I haven't posted in ages. Life has been crazy, not in a good way, and most of the time I'm just too depressed to talk to anyone at all, even all of you here. But reading this forum has been providing me a lot of good distraction and comfort. Thank you for being here

I'm loving how much share with us these days and I'm firmly on board the "they're moving" train, I've suspected it for months and now it's finally coming together. I hope that this fanfic-come-to-life doesn't abruptly end because I'm living for it.

Now, as for their recent trip: omg, Dan looks gorgeous, and none of this would have been possible even a year ago, I think. He's really changing (slowly) and for the better.
Unlike some people here, I don't hate Phil's hair, but I agree it's looking more and more outdated the more Dan changes his style. They're no longer the two boys with the fringe, I hope Phil finds it in himself to change too.

I've also seen a post on tumblr where they have been spotted on the airport (spoiler tags because it's huge):
It's an illusion for sure, but still nice to see for a like me

Sad to hear you've not been feeling well. I can relate on the depression side of things, I get it real bad (medication kind of helps) and this place is a good distraction for me too. Hope you feel better soon, in the mean time, take it easy. Mental Health is important, so take care of yourself.

Also, loving Dan's fashion recently, it's very different and it's awesome, it's refreshing to see something a bit different (i.e the plaid/flannel shirt, ripped jeans, nail varnish that was really pretty.) As for Phil, he'll probably change it up when he's ready.

Ok scrap what I said, this is the real reason. August Quiff!Phil is on the horizon. Soon.
