Now between all the twisted games and hotel trading, the biggest problem with Chuck and Blair’s relationship is that they have learned to love themselves. Please put the pitch forks down and hear me out.

Blair’s insecurities are more obvious. But Chuck was also insecure in his own way as well. Blair’s insecurities stem from constantly competing with Serena and not having a solid support system. Chuck’s insecurities stem from never feeling good enough, especially in his father’s eyes.

They’re two unhappy insecure people who think that loving each other is enough to fix their insecurities.

They could never love each other because even through their development they never learn to love themselves fully.

Feel free to disagree, I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments. (I’d also like to take a moment to clarify this isn’t meant as an attack at all, just sharing my thoughts).

Face card ate, body tea, and her outfits were so good I don’t care what anyone says.

She’s honestly my favorite character on the show because her arc of losing herself in the Upper East Side was honestly interesting to watch unfold even if the ending is unsatisfying (really sucks she’s working for a woman who married the man who assaulted her but I expect nothing less from this show lol). Sure she’s annoying but they all are.

(This is my last post on this sub. Not sure when or if I’ll ever come back but it’s been fun).

Right off the bat Nate cheated on Blair with her best friend. However I think Nate mad Blair were already growing apart before she found out about Serena, but I do think they genuinely did care for each other and loved each other some point.

Sadly enough Chuck was the only person Blair dated she respected (after Nate) even though he didn’t treat her the best.

Louis was Blair’s dream man embodied. Before he snapped he treated Blair well however Blair took advantage of him and merely respected him on a surface level. I think if Blair gave him a chance they could have worked out.

Dan, is there for sure. He did do genuinely kind things for Blair but I don’t think she was looking for that in any of her partners. I think she liked how Dan treated more than she liked him as a person which sucks because they did have so much potential that went wasted.

Obviously Serena loved Dan the most but Dan loved Blair the most. With that said I think Vanessa was the only person he dated that actually understood him and saw him for who he was, it’s just too bad their relationship was short lived.

Blair is introduced as a character with deep rooted insecurities and abandonment issues. At the beginning of the series she’s abandoned by her father and betrayed by Nate and Serena.

When Chuck first sleeps with her he did so when Blair is at her lowest. The show tries to reframe it as a grand romantic moment but the context of the limo scene is Blair seeking an escape from her shitty reality. She sleeps with Chuck as a way to get back at Nate and Serena (she says that herself).

Blair internalized the belief that she’s a bad person and because of that she accepts the bare minimum from Chuck.

I’m aware this post is going to make people mad, do I care? Not really.

1-Vanessa: They’re both from Brooklyn and were outsiders in the Upper East Side. I think Vanessa was the only one who understood Dan especially since they grew up together and I really wish the writers didn’t blow up their relationship. (Also they definitely deserved a better start to their relationship)

2-Olivia: They were cute together and if it wasn’t for the incident I would have liked to see more of their relationship.

3-Serena: She loved Dan the most and think they genuinely did care for each other. Their relationship in the first season was so sweet and it’s a shame how the writers developed their relationship as the seasons went on.

4-Blair: Dan really did love Blair but out of all Dan’s girlfriends she definitely treated him the worst. She used him as a safety net without any regard for Dan at all. It’s a shame because they genuinely did have something good going as friends but their relationship was just poorly executed. (Mourning their potential)

They started off hating each other, then they began to let their walls down around each other, then they became academic rivals, then they became reluctant allies, then they were in denial about their feelings, then they finally got over themselves and started dating.

Their chemistry wasn’t built off physical attraction but an intellectual and emotional connection. They had the perfect slow burn until the writers destroyed everything.

They look so in love here, good thing nothing bad happens after this 🥹. (I despise the writers).

Overall I feel like Dan was a better boyfriend to Blair than Serena but Serena was a better girlfriend to Dan than Blair. But Dair is still my otp🥹

I hope I’m not the only one who sees the resemblance lol

Now many people will say Blair liked Dan because he was nice to her but I really doubt that. Blair’s never cared if anyone who isn’t Chuck or Serena is nice to her so I doubt there was some kind of special exception for Dan.

Dan is also nothing like the guys Blair’s dated throughout the show personality wise or physically. Most of the men Blair dated were suit wearing, well groomed, rich men and Dan fits none of those categories.

Now they did share similar interests but I don’t think that would ever lead to anything romantic because that’s something Blair’s never looked for in a relationship.

I wish their relationship was handled better because by the time they get together in season 5 it feels disjointed because the story already felt to cluttered by the time the writers came back around to Dair.

The show was about two girls navigating through life and competing against each other to be at the top of the social ladder.

Unfortunately the show went in an entirely different direction and once the writers began to center the show around Chuck and his relationship with Blair, her friendship with Serena felt like an afterthought.

Serena’s character boiled down to her boyfriend of the week and whatever mess she ended up in. Blair and Serena both got done dirty by poor planning and writing.

Dan and Blair were the best part of the show before the writers ruined them. From the start Blair and Dan have so many parallels. They both have cabbage patch kids, both of their parents left before the start of the show, and their best friends left them. In season 2 they’re both trying to get into Yale and end up in NYU. They both lose babies when Georgina takes Milo and Blair has a miscarriage after the accident.

Season 4 felt like a romcom and they carried that season on their backs. Their banter and intellectual chemistry was unmatched . We got to see Dan and Blair out their comfort zone and really grow. I truly believe if the writers went all in on them instead of bringing back Louis to contrive drama, Dan and Blair would’ve been received much better.

They might not have had melodrama or an intense physical connection but it was so perfect cause their connection went deeper than that. I’m never going to shut up about them.

Dan and Blair’s first kiss takes place in season 4 episode 17. They officially get together in season 5 episode 17. That can’t be a coincidence.

If I had a nickel for every time Dan and Blair kissed in episode 17 I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice.

Dan is such a hipster and Blair hates it lol

Carter is actually charismatic and a “bad boy” without being a genuine pos. He’s who Chuck fans think he is.

They’re both abusive misogynists. Joe is just a nice guy incel and Chuck is a “play boy” who doesn’t hide how he sees women. They’re also both stalkers, Joe does it himself and Chuck uses his money to hire people to do it for him. They both get away with their actions because they’re “charismatic.” As soon as Joe gets access to money he immediately uses it to his advantage while claiming to hate it.

(Yes, I am very much one of them is a murderer).

HELPP, Is this happening to anyone else??😭🥀💔

I wanna start off by saying none of what Serena did was okay. She also betrayed Blair when she slept with Nate. Serena did treat Blair horribly.

However Blair dated Dan, KNOWING how Serena feels. She essentially risked her friendship with Serena for NO reason. She knew she didn’t feel that way about Dan after their first kiss in season 4 yet still dated him in season 5 knowing she was still in love with Chuck. Blair risked her friendship with Serena for no reason.
