So after a couple of years of using this tumblr, this is it. Honestly, I’m just fed up of the side effects of having to use a secondary blog all the time. While I won’t be deleting any of my content over here, I WILL be moving to a new blog.

Feel free to follow me over there and I’ll finally be able to follow back using a Gwen/Blake related username, lol.

Thanks for the past two years, and here’s to many, many more. And yes, I’m going to get over myself, and begin taking asks right away. Trolls, begone.
Nicole, things got so crazy so I totally understand your need to take a break from asks. I think people who have been reading for awhile know that your intentions are good and that you are a kind person. Just want to say you and all the work you do on your website is so very appreciated! I’ve got a fic request since you said you’re still taking them. How about something about their Vegas weekend?
Well, I’m so slack and late that this super old ask is now relevant again! ;)
Sometimes it feels like they’re still having what must be - in the history of the whole wide world - the best first date ever. Even after three years, there’s so many stories she doesn’t know, that he hasn’t heard. And she wants everything. Her boyfriend’s on the couch, head in her lap, both legs slung over the edge so that his socked toes are awkwardly pointed towards the ceiling.
“So you cussed them out?” Blake asks incredulously, his eyes focused so intently on her that she can’t (doesn’t want to) look away.
She scoffs. “Course I did. They were being the actual worst, y’know. I mean, it was normal, but...” She waves her hands about, gesticulating in a way that could probably indicate a thousand different things to somebody who doesn’t know her as well as Blake does.
“But that doesn’t mean you liked it.”
“Yeah,” Gwen confirms softly. “Exactly. I was just so excited cos we’d never been to Vegas before and we actually got to spend an extra day here after the gig. It’s like, don’t ruin this for me, right?”
Blake’s head tilts backwards slightly, his brows knitted, and she absent-mindedly rubs his temples. He always get the worst headaches, and while this doesn’t make them go away, he swears it helps.
“Anyway, they all apologized. Like they always did. You’d know it wasn’t genuine but, like, what are you goin’ to say? It’s pretty much the same as it feels with the kids, I think. You can’t force someone to mean their apology.”
Blake laughs, just short of bitter, and she bites back a grimace. Yeah, he knows. Sometimes it’s easy to forget that it wasn’t that long ago that they were both being fed lie after lie after lie. She doesn’t like remembering, and she knows he doesn’t either. For whatever reason, though, he seems to find it harder to push those thoughts aside.
“Hey. Handsome. Look at me.” Gwen runs a finger along his jawline, resisting the urge to tell him to forget about shaving for a few more days (she’d never expected partially-gray, partially-white scruff to become such a turn-on). “How about you use your pouting mouth for something else?”
Heidi Klum and Gwen Stefani have a lot in common: early-'90s big breaks, and everlasting icon status, to start. Here, they chat about all things fashion.
I hope you accept my apology. I'm really cut up about it. I'm so fucking stupid and a hothead and horrible person
Oh my god. Sorry, just got home, had dinner, and uploaded some stuff before checking my emails. I really hope my lack of immediate reply didn’t make things worse. Honestly, it wasn’t you specifically that set that off. I have other stuff I don’t publish, yeah? I think it’s just because, weirdly, disappointment from other fans somehow feels worse than blatant insults from trolls? Dunno. Honestly, I overreacted and you did nothing wrong at all. I appreciate advice and constructive criticism, and that’s all you gave me. I appreciate it. I’m still going to take a break for a week or two (will respond to asks, but nothing of ~opinions~), but you’re not stupid or horrible, and I’m truly sorry if my response made you feel that way.
All the best, and again, thank you. I know you meant well, and I’m afraid my skin is just a little too thin, lol.
Honestly you're a smart girl. It's abundantly clear these people are trying to cause trouble. I don't believe you can't see that. The obnoxious hashtags should be enough, that troll does it all the time. I know you want to give people the benefit of the doubt but how about giving actual fans the benefit of a blog that isn't 99% trolling innuendo and fake concerned complaints? That shows some respect to the people you're meant to be a fan of? It's seriously ruining the fandom
I know *some* are and they’re either deleted or acknowledged as concern trolls and replied to in a way that I think is fair without fanning the flames of their fake concern. I just struggle with some asks because, honestly, there ARE genuine fans who say the same things oftentimes (even via private replies on my IG). Sorry, what hashtags are these? Is this is about the initial ‘talking about Gwen being sexy onstage and implying it’s because Blake’s not there’ ask? I think with that it’s easy enough to just ignore the underlying implication and address the content, no?
I don’t *think* my blog is 99% trolling and fake concern, but I apologise if it’s leaning that far without my noticing. It’s ruining the fandom?! Ugh. Okay. Okay. I believe that’s my cue to take a little break then. I seriously just don’t know the best way to do this shit, lol. Not even close. :/
If you need to contact me, I’ll still be posting on Twitter and Instagram. Private messaging on here is always available. If you have a question based in fact (can you tell me where to find a scan of this magazine?) send it and I’ll answer right away. Everything else? Can wait, or there are plenty of other blogs who don’t have the same thin skin as me, lol.
Yep heaven forebit Blake goes to OK and he most definitely spend some time with his mom or maybe sister. No Gwen can work in time to see her parents every 3 days in a busy work schedule and it's fine. But how dare Blake?
Hey, there’s really no need to get so defensive on this one, okay? Most sensibly minded people aren’t up in arms over him being in OK. Anons bait, using legit fans’ concerns, however justified or not.
Also, for what it’s worth, it is somewhat easier to ‘work in time’ when you’re in the same city.
I have an 11 year old daughter and when I saw King with his GF, my thought oh boy 😂😂 Gwen's a cool mom though, I love how she spends time with King and his gf
Twenty-eight year old me, having never had a romantic or sexual partner of any kind, has never felt older or more likely to die alone. XD
Seriously, though, I love it as well, and the fact that the girl’s brother often seems to come along. When you become a part of the family, tangentially or otherwise, you really become part of the family, lol. Also you probably get cool swag. ;)
Danielleliu0518 on Twitter posted 8 new pics. You could ask her where she got them from?
I could. But, as I’ve said, I’m at work right now, which means I can’t really just get on Twitter, actually. When I get home, I’ll check via my usual method and I’m pretty certain I should have access to what she has in this case.
Whoever think she’s different in her performance must haven’t seen her past performances, she’s certainly just more comfortable and confident after awhile. The only noticeable difference is that she’s extremely happy and in good place on her life.
I have a feeling that that person trying to imply (I believe) what they were might not want to spend their time looking at decades of past performances to compare and contrast, lol. XD
I'm not a troll! I'm just pointing this out because I find all these signs interesting
Alright, then. I apologise for saying otherwise. I’m always the worst at making judgment calls. Personally, speaking for myself, I really don’t think any of those things point to much of anything, sorry...
Some of the posters on the ND forum are the worst. I don’t know why I find myself going back there but I do. They’re just as disappointed as some of us are about SKOL being removed from the setlist but are being so petty about it. Even blaming it on her new life with Blake. Or saying they won’t buy tickets if she sings Umbrella but not SKOL. Like, what?
I mean, you’re always going to a range of views on any forum or messageboard, and it’s not surprising that those with the strongest views often stick it out the longest, so to speak. You’ll find those saying things like that, but others push back on it too. If they don’t want to buy tickets, go right ahead. Plenty of other people will be happy enough to spend the money.
(*coughs* Also, if they want to dump a cover for SKOL, Tide would be a better pick *coughs*)
Of course she would be more confident in last 3 shows. Once you get over first couple of nights’ jitters and kinks, you get more comfortable and let loose. Just like any performance. Don’t even try to imply anything else anon, cause it’s just dumb.
