I've kind of spent yesterday catching up with Gossip Girl... I mean sitting and watching it until 4 am type of catching up. I couldn't help it, Dan/Blair are so cute and heartbreaking.
That said, it took me until the end of s4 to jump the Chuck/Blair ship, I like fucked up but his anger made me take pause and look back over the show and realized that they're not just fucked up but toxic.
The contrast of Chuck/Blair and Dan/Blair is rather interesting, Chuck makes grand speeches about letting her go, but he cannot and she's torn, but Dan doesn't say anything, he just wants her to be happy even if that means she's with Chuck (or Louis). What I really hope for now that Blair's trapped in/running away from a loveless marriage is that she'll rediscover herself. More than even a Dan/Blair romance I want to see a happier Blair who's funny, smart, and remembers who she is rather than who she's with.
“What if I lose everything?”
“You’ll still have me.”
Here's the thing, I feel like Dan is the perfect guy for Blair, he's not completely dark and on a downward spiral like Chuck, but he's more based in reality than Louis was (and now Louis is dark.) but I don't want them together just yet. I want Blair being on her own and thriving, when she looked scared at the thought of being alone I was struck by how lonely and scared she was. She needs to see she can be happy and to know herself again before moving on. Of course then you see
and I don't know about you guys but my heart kind of broke for Dan here.
“It’s like he peered into my soul. I know Louis loves me, but sometimes I wonder if he understands me. Reading this is exactly what I needed to go into our wedding sure of my choice.”
I love how Dan knows Blair, not just her Machiavellian ways but how she cries when she watches Nights of Cibiria, her intelligence, her strengths and her weaknesses. So yeah, conflicted by this show, thank you very much.
Damn you, Gossip Girl writers, for drawing me back in to your teeny-bopper melodrama guilty pleasure of a show.
