yeah no i can't hang out today. yeah it's british youtubers again. yeah it'll be all day.

a man who would go back into the closet for 15 years for you without even blinking, without even thinking there’s anything to forgive you for, fully believing all that patience and time and space and agony was completely worth it because he loves you that much and is that devoted to you. a horrible liar who spends 15 years lying because you aren’t ready to tell the truth yet. you might think that this man doesn’t exist but he does. and his name is phil lester

2026 calendar: dan and phil and the elephant in the room

dan and phil publicly forgiving their audience for ripping their private life apart. chronically closeted dan following that up by asking "phil do YOU forgive me for years of dealing with my bullshit?" and phil saying he doesn't need to forgive him. literally peace and love on phanet earth

fr though i am genuinely so proud of dan and phil for finally trusting us with this, and i’m equally proud of the fandom for taking the steps needed to become a safe space for them over the years. as someone who’s been here for 11 years, it feels so good knowing we’ve all worked together to create space where they feel safe enough to share such a vulnerable part of their lives with us after spending so long feeling like they couldn’t. the amount of love i have for the two of them and the world they’ve created for all of us is immeasurable.

i found out about this as god intended - tumblr

hey phil if you're lurking, i hope you know how incredibly excited and happy we are for you both
