So I’ve been away from tumblr for a few days and just tried to do a quick catch-up. And full disclosure I have a fever of 102 so forgive me if this comes off wrong, but damn girl everyone needs to calm the f down! Why are ppl flipping over the new icon thinking it’s aimed at them?!! I saw it and was like that is freaking awesome! In no way did I for one second think it was an FU to the fans. I think everyone just needs to take a step back, take a deep breath and just have fun with fandom again

½ I think ppl are getting too caught up in Gillian’s life and the choices she’s making. It seems like now fans are just looking to find fault in everything. And that makes me sad. Anyway I’m rambling and I’m sorry if I offended you! Not my intention at all!! I just needed to vent a little (I really want this place to go back to where it was when I first joined Tumblr) thanks for listening, you don’t need to post this. PS love you and your blog

First of all, thank . you for coming off anon, you didn’t offend me at all, and I hope you don’t mind me posting this!

You’re probably right about us being too caught up in Gillian’s choices, but the thing is I, for now, can’t believe this icon is totally innocent. The fact that she only put it here, without acknowledging it on her other social media feels like it’s somehow directed at us, or at least some of us. I could be wrong, but with the many people feeling upset and being very vocal about it, I’m assuming she knows what she’s doing by leaving it here. 

I think we all could go back to make Tumblr fun and entertaining like it used to be, but we need a little bit of help from our idols for that. I feel like instead of adding fuel to a fire that was slowly fading away, we need them to be fun and entertaining too. Everything she does and says lately is taken the wrong the way because nothing is clear and straight forward but subject to interpretation and endless debates. As useless and silly as it was, I miss the time when she tweeted about plastic dolls and funny looks and that was it. No hidden messages, no judgements, no ideology, just fun and entertainment. That’s what I miss, and that’s what I need to forget, forgive, and let go of the frustration and the anger.
