I'm not getting my hopes up that dan is there too but it would be nice if he was

As far as we know martyn is still in America and if it was true that dnp were spotted together then it’s a good possibility they are there together

Kath, Nigel, Phil, and Phil's grandad. Dan heard there were too many cookies for 4 people and heroically got on a plane to IOM to help solve this problem.

Surely it's Dan since they were spotted together this morning? Phil's parents, and Dan and Phil.

Can’t help wondering if Phil would have mentioned the 4th person if they hadn’t been spotted this morning.

I'm gonna say probably not. I think it might have gone the way previous IoM trips have gone and we would get some final day or flight-home type confirmation that Dan was there.

Just gotta say those cakes look great, especially the chocolate-iced ones with the Smarties on top. Shame we can’t all go and help them out really.

Ah so maybe Dan’s relative flurry of likes/follow activity wasn’t home alone boredom, but travel related idle time.

I am sooo curious how long they’ve been out as a couple to Phil’s parents... the whole time? Because

Anyways, would LOVE to see Phil film something with his mom while he’s up there... Like a gay Q&A... When did you know? What did you think? Who told grandma? Stuff like that.

Yeah I agree.

And, not to be demon (oh who am I kidding) but it looks like the second box of cake could be vegan.

No, that guy said "later", that's all. It might never come, lol.

On the subject of Dan’s tweet about being recognized in GW2, see 40:20. It’s such a shame, but this was from 2014 and he’s better able to cope these days. Also ft Dan playing Ingenue at 44:45.

He said "later this month", at least that's how I remember.

you're right actually, but i said that day i would not trust this guy

Well I'm guessing this has to be IoM airport? The person said they won't say where they met d&p for privacy reasons, which is respectable, but I can't see where else they could be given they're with Phil's parents.

The security conveyer belt and trays are behind them so it seems more likely it was the airport they left from.

No doubt they are both at Phil’s parents and Cornelia posted photos today from the last part of their US road trip, so I reckon they are on the way. All is right in the world.

Taniel Returns. A blotchy Taniel, but a Taniel nonetheless.

This is the first time they've gone to see the Lesters in the PCOU right? I bet Kath gave Dan the biggest hug.

reasons to love Kath more, gosh, she's amazing. I wish she did want to appear in more AP videos, I know she won't because she doesn't like to get recognised but she's so great!

I'm honestly curious if anyone believes they aren't still a couple at this point? I guess sure, there are always gonna be people who have doubts but honestly. Can you imagine taking an ex to celebrate your mother's birthday? When it's just 4 people? Like... really?? Idk, I just don't get anyone having sincere doubts but if there are skeptics out there, I'd love to hear the reasoning behind it! Just because I personally can't see a reality in which they aren't together doesn't mean my interpretation of the sliver of their lives they choose to show us is accurate. And I fully acknowledged that right now it truly is the tiniest of slivers.

Anyway, I am unbelievably soft at the fact that they're apparently visiting phil's parents together rn and that Kath made what looks like vegan cake options. It almost makes up for the lack of liveshows or joint content I've been craving. Not quite, but I'll take anything at this point.

Cornelia has been liking some cute art. She liked this picture tonight

And she liked this picture yesterday

It seems like they all really enjoyed their trip to the desert

I started out re-watching Rize liveshows this morning--which are even more amazing than I remember, they're so domestic--and this evening I've made my way into re-watching AmazingPhil videos. Watching the video where Phil tries to make fizzy milk with a Sodastream reminded me of this tweet that I don't remember circulating at the time but made me laugh.

well now i’m just going to lose myself in imagining a world where we get a D+P baking video feat Kath teaching them how to make things properly

So... I'm not sure if this is relevant in any way but I just woke up in a cold sweat at two in the morning remembering this article from 2015 that resulted in the phandom speculating about this "anonymous gay youtuber" being Dan or Phil,,, and,,, honestly I think it is likely that it was Phil quoted in this article all along, I mean, looking back on it in 2019, it fits. Just thought it was interesting and thought I might share this realization just for the heck of it lol

"TenEighty contacted a YouTuber who identifies as gay, but has chosen not to disclose their sexuality online. They wish to remain anonymous for this article. “I don’t feel as though I’ve not come out, as everyone in my ‘real life’ knows I’m gay and that I’ve had a partner for five years,” they say.

“The reason I’ve never mentioned it online is that I don’t see it as highly relevant to what I do. It would have an impact on my career outside of YouTube,” they explain. “Nonetheless, I would certainly never lie about my sexuality or pretend to fancy girls or say I have a girlfriend.

“In terms of being a role model; that is the one thing that tempts me to ‘come out’ online,” they add. “Although that, in itself, is a big responsibility.”"
