My comment to an entry 'the four seasons (dan/blair)' by milktea_tremble
“I’m sorry I depicted you that way - I didn’t mean to. You were the Upper East Side I first got to know, the shallow teenaged impression I had of it, the only part of it that I accepted. And I loved you in all my youth and stupidity. Really, I did. As for Blair - I guess she represented what was hidden, the part that I immediately judged and hated, but also the part that I’ve been slowly getting to know since I first came into this world.” - Wow, if I had a chance I would take and analyze all of this wonderful fic, because there has been no one who had given a better understanding of the "Inside", a true love letter.
“What it really is, it’s a love letter. Maybe you could say it’s from the view of an outsider to an insider. Or maybe I was trying to say that none of that actually mattered, that I fell in love with Manhattan and New York and the Upper East Side and Blair Waldorf and it didn’t matter if I was inside or outside but what counts is just the sheer…just, beauty and art and life of this city and of the people here and everywhere and of human connection. I hated Blair Waldorf and I hated this city and I fell head-over-heels in love with both of them, so fully and completely. God, what a perfect analogy - I never realized, the city and the girl, they’re both so complex and layered and goddamn COOL and smart as hell and funny and ridiculously beautiful and unbelievably strong and humane and everything I was always looking for but didn’t know it.” - This is the most perfect description of the whole story
I am definitely going to read this again and again.
