oh yes, I remember! @gunningforabasementoffice is sharp and smart, and I miss her analysis and reading her long ass posts!
You know, those people you’re mentioning can do that as much as they want. They’re not fooling anyone but themselves if they think people believe them or care about their new ship. Even if they were right about PM, 99% of the fandom would just ignore PM like we ignored Gillian’s previous partners. It’s just a handful of provocative and petty people who have decided to *ship* them because at this point, who would, in their right mind, decide to ship Gillian with PM, knowing what we know about their relationship, which is nothing at all.
I know these 4 or 5 people have issues with RPF because they think it is disrespectful towards Gillian and even David to keep shipping them and writing about them, but I just wonder what would Gillian have to say about seeing her own words twisted in a way that make her say she has a toxic and distateful relationship with someone she publicly admits to love, respect and care for, and that she’s in love with someone she’d never said a word about.
