this has probably been discussed before but i'm actually curious, for those of you that don't believe dan and phil are in a relationship, is there anything they could do short of announcing it very explicitly that would change your mind? would them moving together for a 4th time and buying a home together change your mind or would you still see them as purely platonic despite that type of long-term commitment?

I thought about this for a bit and I came to the conclusion that my unwillingness to believe they're together is connected to how uncomfortable I feel labeling peoples' behaviour couply or romantic or anything without any kind of confirmation. Them moving into a forever home together will probably make me believe they're together but at the same time I feel weird about just assuming two people are romantically together just because they choose to live together. Idk, I don't react well to that kind of stuff. I'm kind of on the aromantic spectrum I think and I would personally love to have a best friend to live with without any romantic strings attached so that's where I'm coming from. (Queer platonic relationships are super interesting to me because I want one really badly, lol.) It's not socially accepted but that doesn't mean people don't do it. BUT I know that's me and most people think differently, deppy probably included. But to be honest, their relationship is special, whether they're friends or a couple, so I don't think we can just apply "friends usually don't do that" to them because they're not normal friends, no matter what.

So that's why I'm on the fence. On one hand, yes, them moving into a house together might change my mind about them. On the other hand, no, I don't necessarily think it would be weird for really good friends with the kind of unique bond deppy have to keep living together without any romantic relationship involved. (My answer is basically a longer version of the shrug emoji which I miss dearly. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)

This conversation comes around every few months and I hesitate to start it now, but I'd just like to offer up the fact that Dan and Phil living together isn't even in the top 10 reasons most people think they're together? Nor is their current behavior towards one another.

There are years of screenshots and dates and information and tweets (and even a leaked love "letter") to support the likelihood of a romantic relationship. It's not a theory made up of long glances and multiple rentals.

I just... I wanted to put that out there, because sometimes I feel like that really gets lost in these conversations. Nobody thinks Dan and Phil are together because they decided to rent a 3rd place. I'd be married by now if that's how life worked.

1. if you're washing your hair everyday, stop - I wash my hair 2-3 times a week at most - you're drying it out too quickly if you do this - you can train your hair into being washed less, because the less you wash it the less it needs washing.

2.check the ingredients of what you're using - you don't want to be avoiding anything that ends in -cone because these are silicones and they aren't great for your hair. They basically make it feel soft without it actually being soft, they just patch up the damage. There are water soluble ones that are better for you, but I personally avoid them.

3. avoid heat wherever possible, and if you hairdry, use a diffuser.

4. conditioner is your friend, you want to use a LOT. I follow the 'squish to condish' method but there are others too (i'll talk about these next) - so I wash my hair with shampoo (Honey I Washed My Hair from Lush) and then when I've washed it out, I put loads of conditioner (American Cream from Lush) in it and when I start to wash it out, I do it in strands and push the conditioner back up into my hair, mixing it with loads of water which helps moisturise my hair put also helps my curls form. I then lightly towel try my hair and let it dry naturally. Yes it takes a while but because I wash it only 2 times a week its doable. (there are better explanations of this method - I recommend it though because the change in definition of my hair was VERY noticeable using this method)

5. theres also the curly girl method which uses co-washing (washing with conditioner) which I personally don't get on with but I know works for others.

6. if you can afford it, get R&B from Lush is like a wonder product for keeping hair moisturised. Me and my girlfriend share a tub of it, both use it every time we wash our hair. We're like less than 1/4 way through it and we've had it a year.

7. if you're going to brush it, do it in the shower when your hair is wet.

I hope these help! Basically the ones I was referring to with Dan are number 1,2, and 4 (just in case he's lurking )

HELLO! That would be me. I'm not sure I have exactly the same hair type as him (i'm type 2b), but we both seem to have thick wavy/curly hair that has been straightened to death. (and in my case bleached, I currently have bright yellow hair and it looks ) but my hair is genuinely healthy and I look after it quite well.

Tips are under the spoiler

EDIT: also I was trying to show my best friend the link to the new backpacks because I need the black one (its also an inside joke that I'm way too finicky about clothes, especially backpacks after, on two separate occasions, I made her spend over an hour backpack shopping with me without actually buying anything) and they links don't work??

Speaking of their merch: does anyone have the galaxy sweater? Is it soft/decent material? Does it have their logo on it somewhere? I have to be very careful with my money but I also really, really love space and need new sweaters, so I want to know if it's a good investment. (I can't find any galaxy-print clothes anywhere else anymore )

I don't know where you are, but Hot Topic has a lot of galaxy print stuff. Shoes, pants, jackets, etc. http://www.hottopic.com/search?q=galaxy

sparkle wrote: Mon Sep 04, 2017 9:36 pm and I don't have the galaxy jumper, but I do have the grey Japan one, it's high quality material, and very soft. In my experience, their merch is actually very good quality.

Thanks! That's really good to know

The galaxy shirt is different material - the Japan shirts are just long sleeve cotton t-shirts. The galaxy one is more of a sweatshirt, with an inside fleecy lining that is very soft. It's not too thick, but still fairly warm because of the material, warmer than a t-shirt for sure. It doesn't have their logo (except on the inside tag).

3 videos from deppy in the span of 4 days (that's what it's been, right?) definitely seems too optimistic. my bet is they'll post it tomorrow in lieu of dan's ls.
