I think David and Gillian are just stubborn little sh*ts and the more you just leave them alone in their current relationships, without feeding any kind of fire, the likelihood of them finding their way back to each other is far greater. And I believe if they were to ever get back together it would be similar to the previous era where it’s a game of “are they or aren’t they?” 🧐

I totally agree with you on their stubborness! I’m sure the more everyone around them tell them to not do something, including dating this or that person, the more they’ll do it. But I’m still convinced they’ll get back together eventually, and honestly, I’d take every game of “are they or aren’t they” and every little fight we had over this question rather than today’s Gillovny situation. 

I find interesting that both in January at the TCAs and last weekend, the two big moments GA and DD saw each other, GA had the same kind of outfit. She showed more skin in January but still. Where it’s particularly similar is how the bottoms of the outfits split so that her legs are showing. Is all of this a coincidence? 😏😏😏

Oh this kind of “coincidence” on Gillian’s outfits goes way back to 2013 and maybe before that, to nowadays. Check all their joined appearances. She’s always sleeveless. ALL. THE. FUCKING. TIME.

What’s Stringate? I was told you’d be able to send me down the rabbit hole in the best possible way.

Haha! Not sure it was a string, but there’s been some underwears thrown at David during a concert in Paris. He picked them up and handed them back to Nate, one of his musician, saying “Nate, Nate’s the single guy.” Therefore, implying he wasn’t.
Me and @skullsmuldon were there, and cursed by non-functioning phones, so there no video of the incident, but there’s an audio here and a video of his obvious confusion right after this moment. 

update: thank you @feministbynature ! I completely mixed up the gates! String gate is indeed that moment where David pulls the string of Gillian’s dress during cutting room! (String means thong in French, and also I’m sick and I have a fever, hence the confusion :D)

I agree with you on the Midlife Crises hitting both D and G at the same time, and I don’t care, I believe it had to do with their breakup, not just romantic, but probably the breakup of the relationship of similar ambitions they thought they had. Gillian cutting her hair – a sign of moving on from trauma, was a clue to me, and what she said about why she cut her hair (Times interview) sealed the deal, for me anyways. With David… its so obvious it seems like an joke, Joaquin Phoenix style.

Do you think there’s a coincidence that Gillian is openly embracing her age and even sporting a more “mature” look at the exact same time that David is sporting a younger gf and ripped jeans, all while wishing he was a millennial? 🤔

I don’t really believe in coincidence with Gillovny so I would say no. David is in full middle life crisis and something or somebody must have triggered it.

Same with Gillian’s complete change of personality in the past few years.

Even if Gillian seems to be in better shape than him now, it hasn’t always been like that so I would say they both had a crisis, pretty much at the same time, one is over, and one is lasting way too long already. Maybe David needs a new haircut now…

1) Paley/IBG anon again. A lot of my opinions in the XF/Gillovny fandom are unpopular so I hope I won’t get insulted by any of you. I have learned to like Paley because it’s… Gillovny. But I’m old school, I like people with at least a little bit of manners, who are kind and respectful, and I find them annoying at the Paley panel. I sympathize with Keith too much. Just watching him interview them makes me uncomfortable. It’s hard enough when you are interviewing actors from your favorite show

2) and he was very nervous and D&G did not make it easy for him. They seemed a little careless, especially David. Found neither particularly charming (except here and there). Not crazy about the way the act with each other either. I see more warmth and respect in 2011 or 2016. Maybe what you guys care most is seeing D&G laugh and touch each other in whatever way (do you?) but I also care about them being well behaved and nice (and not too potty mouthed if possible). THAT’S JUST ME, don’t judge.

Don’t worry anon, your opinion is as valid as anyone’s. I understand what you mean, but I enjoy Paley and even more NYCC for the same reasons that you don’t like them. You can feel that there’s a huge difference between their relationship in IBG 2011 and the 2013 series of cons. I believe they just started to see each other again in 2011 and shit got way more serious in 2013, which is why it’s my favorite year of Gillovny. They were high, if not on drugs they were high on each other and it’s wonderful to witness and I’d kill to have another “what the fuck is magnetite” moment!
Keith did an amazing job and I’m sure he was delighted to have them in such a good mood even if they gave him a hard time sometimes. I feel more for nowadays moderators who have to deal with moody-David or silent-Gillian. Even if they’re not as good as Keith was, it must be pretty hard sometimes.
