Not everything is working out in my life at the moment and when I have a moment just to myself, I come to your blog. I’m Gillovny for 25 years and I know we’ve been through huge mess. Our ship was basically over when David got married. But we’ve come through that and accepted it and even though he was with Téa, those who shipped him with Gillian and those who shipped him with Téa were never in such a conflict. I don’t know what’s going on but this isn’t my happy place anymore. Only your blog is.

Hey anon, thank you for this message, and I hope things can improve in your life. 

I guess there was never such a conflict also because Internet wasn’t what it is now. Social medias weren’t a thing, and a large part of the fans were very young at this time. I’m 30 now, so I was 12 when David and Tea got married. I shipped Gillovny without even knowing I did. I was just sad when I read magazines, French magazines with badly translated interviews, and saw him with Téa, but I didn’t take it at heart as much as I do now. We had no way to know what happened in their private lives, they only communicated with fans through the filter of the press and mostly in the US, so everything was different. 

We’ve all grown up now, but there’s also new fans, young fans just like we were, with the slight difference that they’re born with social media, they know what shipping means, and they can be way more bitter than we were. So there’s that too. 

Also, David got married very quickly, we didn’t have time to see it coming. It just happened and fans had to deal with it. It was a fact. There was no doubt at all, which is very different too from what’s happening with PM and Gillian. Nothing is confirmed, everything is about guessing and assuming and trying to connect dots, and it’s driving people crazy. We all want to convince each others that we’re right and we see the truth, when probably no one does and no one holds the truth. There’s only one person who could solve the mystery, and as long as she doesn’t, we’re all in the limbos, condemned to argue with each other about things we don’t know about. 

Gillovny fandom has survived everything, and we’re going to survive this too because we’re strong and we’re united, and that’s something I have realized in the last few months, thanks to this mess. That’s something 🙂
