Nice video! But the comments on it are weirding me out. There’s two comments praising the couple, even though this song is about being happy to escape an abusive relationship

So the thing about dair for me is that they literally can't stop arguing and never see eye to eye on anything at all. And I know Tumblr loves those couples who bicker nonstop, but those kind of ships annoy the hell out of me while showing that the two people involved are just not compatible. Chuck and Blair, for all their many flaws, don't actually bicker nonstop---they connect, they communicate, they understand each other. Dair barely even LIKES each other!
hi!! sorry it took me so long to answer this but after seeing a v hateful ask in my inbox answering this feels much needed so ty 🫶🏻🫶🏻 exactly!! at the risk of angering ppl further (again if u don't like chair pls leave my blog idk what else to tell u) for all their supposed similar interests they only seem to argue about them which shows they might have broadly similar interests but when u get into the specifics they're the complete opposite, which is a reason why they don't work romantically as it's not sustainable. chuck and blair however genuinely have things in common, and like u said they don't really bicker when they date (or when they're apart either, showing their true connection) and instead just enjoy each others' company. they know the other is on the same page so they can just be themselves and not worry about judgement or an argument breaking out, and in turn that makes them stronger and actually healthier. ur so right by saying dair barely like each other, bc dan likes the version of blair he's invented and when u look at how blair interacts and engages with him it's not loving or even vaguely romantic at all. they argue bc that's really all they can do, but it's not banter or playful bickering it's 2 characters who aren't suited for each other trying to be something they're not meant to be

I'm writing a gossip girl overhaul from pilot onward that I'm planning to turn into a book (meaning I've changed interests, physical features, and some personality traits).
We've got Chuck being held accountable for his actions and acknowledging how toxic his relationship with Blair is.
Jenny getting the life she deserved while still using unhealthy coping mechanisms to try and process this trauma
More Lily and Jenny bonding
Van Der Humphrey dynamics get examined more as they're the central focus
Main couple rufly
Multi book Dair slow burn
Exploring Lily's trauma
Trans masc Eric
Lesbian Jenny
A critique of class and privilege
Blair gets a whole analysis bc she is almost as fascinating to me as Lily (Lily only wins bc she's been at this longer)
They go to therapy and stay there
Serena actually gets to find a direction in life (it's traveling, she's gonna end up realizing that traveling and media are things she can see herself spending her life doing)
Bisexual Lily and Eleanor
Modified Lily and Rufus background partially because the show timeline makes no sense
Jewish Humphreys
Kind of explored Date
Any of y'all interested in reading this? If so should I write a version with the actual characters to post on AO3 and ff.net or would you like to see the actual product?

GG Season 3 writers after throwing their brains in a blender: So Blair forcing herself to have sex with a man twice her age who has full control of the only thing her boyfriend still has left (and the prospect of losing has caused him to lash out at her and become deeply bitter and miserable about) is TOTALLY as bad as Chuck intentionally putting her in that position without her permission in the first place!! Blair is a terrible person for considering it and she deserves to be with Chuck because they’re as bad as each other and therefore the perfect couple!! How dare she want better for herself instead of instantly forgiving Chuck, now he has to go have sex with a bunch of random women (including on the literal same day they broke up) because she’s so mean :(

6, 19 and 51 for the ask game!
Hi!
6 which shows do I think are underrated and deserve more love?
Bored to Death- it is very Rian Johnson meets Arthur Conan Doyle vibes; iZombie would be another one
19 which shows are on my to-watch list?
Veronica Mars, Checkmate, The Twilight Zone, On My Block... Just to name a few
51 which TV cliche you despise?
It's not exactly a cliche, but overreliance on physical chemistry in couples - I saw this in Varchie (from Riverdale), Chuck and Blair (Gossip Girl)... Another would be the unlucky gay pal (Kevin from Riverdale? Classic example)
Thanks for the ask! 😃

something I find really interesting is that a lot of anti-chair fics portray chuck as going away on business trips all the time and not spending time with blair or his family. I think canonically in the show he goes away once (and that's to see jack iirc) he barely leaves the empire to run bass industries, let alone the country. now bart was well established to frequently leave on business trips, but chuck pointedly wasn't. it's obvious that he doesn't want to be like his father, as shown throughout and especially with regards to his family. funnily enough if either of them were more likely to be away on business more it would probably be blair, given that waldorf designs has some kind of office in paris that eleanor regularly worked from. the fact that in order to paint blair as some kind of lonely wife (with her own multi-million dollar business to run mind you) who, presumably, needs to turn to dan for companionship and romance once again (never mind that she would canonically rather be alone than with him) they have to just... make something up that's never happened or been implied to happen (both chuck and blair could be suggested to be workaholics, blair probably moreso, as they do spend a lot of time working on their respective businesses but they also have thriving social lives so they clearly don't work that much) shows that it doesn't fit with anyone's characterisation

I'm back on my Lily bs, especially with my headcanons
Ttpd is so Lily, Blair, and Jenny coded (some Serena but I feel like she's Evernights in a way I can't explain)
Here is my list from The Anthology
Fortnight- it's Dair, I have literally nothing else to say
The Tortured Poets Department- this is either post breakup derena or maybe dair
My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys: controversial take: this isn't 🪑. The vibes are wrong, it's Lily and William during their marriage (if you've read my fics you know what I mean by that. I have many feelings about them.)
Down Bad: Rufly??? Dair??? Serenate vibes??? 🪑???? Jagnes??? Who knows? It fits them all so well
So Long, London: it's 🪑. That's it. She tried so hard to hold on but he kept drifting away.
"You say I abandoned the ship, but I was going down with it, my white knuckle dying grip holding onto your quiet resentment. And my friends say it isn't right to be scared, everyday of a live affair, every breath feels like rarest air, and you're not sure if he wants to be there"
"You sacrificed us to the gods of your bluest days"
"you swore that you loved me, but where were the clues? I died on the alter waiting for the proof"
But Daddy I Love Him: Rufly, pure and simple.
"I'm running with my dress unbuttoned, screaming but Daddy I love him"
"I'll tell you something right now, I'd rather burn my whole life down than listen to I've more second of all this bitching and moaning"
"I'll tell you something about my good name, it's mine alone to disgrace"
"there's a lot of people in town that I bestow upon my fastest smile, scandal does funny things to pride but brings Lovers closer"
"now I'm dancing in my dress in the sun... I'm his lady, and oh my God you should see your faces. Time, doesn't it give some perspective? And no, you can't come to the wedding."
Fresh Out The Slammer: the 🪑 and Louis to Dair pipeline. She knows who her first call will be to. And so do we.
Florida: I saw someone say this song is Ivy and Lola, and yeah, that's them if they had a decent storyline. Also, Jagnes. Jenny and Lily. Serena. Blair would never go near Florida outside of spring break.
Guilty As Sin?: I saw an edit of Rufly to this song and now all I can think of when I listen to it is them is season 1 (pre hook up) and season 2 (pre relationship). Lily and Serena's talk in season 1, the Thanksgiving episodes, the winter dance episode, the whole PI bs, everything with Allison tbh
"what if he's written "mine" on my upper thigh, only in my mind"
"without ever touching his skin, how can I be guilty as sin?"
Who's Afraid Of Little Old Me?: It's Jenny.
"I am what I am cuz you trained me"
"you caged me then called me crazy" "I'm always drunk on my own tears, isn't that what they all said?"
"I was tame, I was gentle til the circus life made me mean, don't you worry folks, we took out all her teeth"
"I leap from the gallows and I levitate down your street, crash your party like a record scratch as I shriek "who's afraid of little old me?" You should be"
"At all costs keep your good name" "Is it a wonder I broke? Let's hear one more joke"
I Can Fix Him (No Really I Can): 🪑
"the smoke cloud billowed out his mouth like a freight train through a small town. The jokes he told across the bar were revolting and far too loud."
"Your good Lord doesn't need to lift a finger, I can fix him. No, really, I can. And only I can."
Loml: Season 1 and 2 Derena
I Can Do It With A Broken Heart: Lily, Jenny, Blair, and a hint of Serena.
"All the pieces of me shattered as the crowd was chanting "more". I was grinning like I'm winning, I was hitting my marks, cuz I can do it with a broken heart."
"Cuz I'm a real tough kid, I can handle my shit. They said "babe, you gotta fake it til you make" and I did."
The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived: Lily and William. I'm obsessed with them and the psychological ramifications his existence alone has on her, your honor. Like, I hate him, I hate them, but I'm fascinated by how horrible their relationship is. Also, Eric and William to a degree. Serena never seems to reach this point.
"Was any of it true? Gazing at me starry-eyed in your Jehovah's Witness suit. Who the fuck was that guy?"
"And I don't even want you back, I just want to know, if rusting my sparkling summer was the goal"
"you hung me on your wall, stabbed me with your push pins. In public, showed me off"
"you didn't measure up, in any measure of a man"
"And you'll confess why you did it, and I'll say "good riddance," cause it wasn't sexy once it wasn't forbidden. I would've died for your sins, instead I just died inside. And you deserve prison but you won't get time"
"You kicked out the stage lights but your still performing"
"and in plain sight you hid, but you are what you did. And I'll forget you but I'll never forgive"
The Alchemy: Lily and Blair in gen tbh, but specifically with Rufus and Dan.
"cuz the sign on your heart says it still belongs to me"
"he jokes that it's heroin but this time with an 'e'"
"what if I told you I'm back? The hospital was a drag, worst sleep that I ever had, I circled you on a map. I haven't come around in so long, but I'm coming back so strong/to where I belong"
"so when I touch down, call the amateurs and cut 'em from the team. Ditch the clowns, take the crown, cause I'm the one to beat."
Clara Bow: it's the Cece (Clara) to Lily (Stevie) to Blair (Taylor) to Jenny (the new gen) pipeline for me. I can't explain how Cece fits, but she does. (Serena being told all the fresh air bs her entire life can be applied here as well)
"This town is fake, but you're the real thing. Breath of fresh air through the smoke rings. Take the glory, give everything. Promise to be dazzling"
"You look like Clara Bow in this light, remarkable. All your life did you know? You'd be picked like a rose."
"You look like Stevie Nicks in '75, the hair and lips. The crowd goes wild at her fingertips, half moonshine, a full eclipse."
"You look like Taylor Swift in this light, we're loving it. You've got edge she never did, the future's bright. Dazzling"
"the crown is stained, but you're the real queen, flesh and blood amongst war machines. You're the new god we're worshipping. Promise to be... Dazzling"
"Beauty is a beast that roars, down on all fours demanding "more." Only when your girlish glow flickers just so do they let you know, it's hell on earth to be heavenly. Them's the breaks, they don't come gently."
The Black Dog: Lily and William
"and so I watch as you walk into some bar called The Black Dog and pierce new holes in my heart"
"And it hits me, I just don't understand, how you don't miss me. In The Black Dog, when someone plays The Starting Line and you jump up, but she's too young to know this song that was intertwined with the magic fabric of our dreaming. Old habits die screaming."
"And I may never open up the way I did for you. And those best laid plans. You said I needed a brave man and proceeded to play him until I believed it too."
"now I want to sell my house and set fire to all my clothes. And hire a priest to exorcize my demons, even if I die screaming"
"Six weeks of breathing clean air, I still miss the smoke"
"I hope it's shitty, in The Black Dog"
imgonnagetyouback: Lily and William and 🪑, Serena during her one-sided pining for Dan era.
"even if it's handcuffed I'm leaving here with you"
The Albatross: help, it's so Lily coded I can't
"Wise men once said, "Wild winds are death to the messenger," a rose by any other name is a scandal. Cautions issued, he stood shooting the messengers. They tried warning him about her."
"wise men once said "one bad seed kills the garden" "one less temptress, one less dagger to sharpen". Locked me up in towers, but I'd still visit in your dreams, and they tried to warn you about me."
"devils that you know, raise worse hell than a stranger. She's the death you chose, you're in terrible danger."
"cross your thoughtless heart, only liquor anoints you. She's the Albatross, she is here to destroy you"
Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus: Serenate or platonic Eric and Jenny works too
"if you want to break my cold, cold heart, just say "I loved you, the way that you were"
"I changed into goddesses, villains and fools, changed plans and lovers and outfits and rules all to outrun my desertion of you and you just watched it."
"could it be enough to just float in your orbit?can we watch our phantoms like watching wild horses? Cooler in theory but not if you force it to be, it just didn't happen"
How Did It End?: Blair and Louis, more specifically Blair after the accident
"guess who we ran into at the shop, walking in circles like she was lost"
So High School: Rufly and Eleanor x Cyrus, I will not accept criticism
"I feel so high school when I look at you, cuz look at you"
"and in the blink of a crinkling eye, I'm sinking, our fingers entwined. Cheeks pink in the twinkling lights, tell me 'bout the the first time you saw me. I'll drink what you think, and I'm high from smoking your jokes all damn night, the brink of a wrinkle in time."
I Hate It Here: Lily and Jenny, they chose this life, regardless of how that choice was made, and it made them feel worthless. They both need to escape, they disappear into their different vices to help them cope.
"tell me all your secrets, all you'll ever be is my eternal consolation prize"
"if comfort is a construct, I don't believe in good luck, now I know what's what. I hate it here so I will go to secret gardens in my mind, people need a key to get to, the only one is mine"
"I will go to lunar valleys in my mind, when they find a better planet only the gentil survived. I dreamt about it in the dark, the night I felt like I might die"
"I'm lonely, but I'm good. I'm bitter, but I swear I'm fine. I'm save all my romanticism for my inner life, and I'll get lost in purpose. This place made me feel worthless."
thanK you aIMee: Jenny and Blair in high school
"all that time you were throwing punches, I was building something. And I can't forgive the way you made me feel. Screamed "fuck you, Aimee" to the night sky as the blood was gushing. But I can't forget the way you made me heal."
"I built a legacy you can't undo, but when I count the scars there's a moment of truth. That there wouldn't be this, if there wasn't you."
I Look In People's Windows: it's Bart era rufly
"what if your eyes looked up and meet mine one last time"
The Prophecy: Jenny and Blair
Cassandra: I cannot explain it but this is Lily
Peter: Carter and Serena?????? Is that you???? She's Peter
"are you still a mind reader? A natural scene stealer? I've heard great things Peter"
"the goddess of timing, once found us beguiling, Peter was she lying? My ribs say she did"
"lost in the lost boys chapter of your life"
The Bolter: Oh look, new Lily song just dropped. And Serena. To quote @strideofpride it always comes back to mothers and daughters
"with a quite bewitching face. Splendidly selfish, charmingly helpless, excellent fun til you get to know her."
"then she runs like it's a race, behind her back her best mates laughed and they nicknamed her "the Bolter""
"she's been many places with men of many faces, first their off to the races and she's laughing drawing aces but none of it is changing that the chariot is waiting. Hearts are hers for the breaking, there's escape in escaping."
"all her fucking lives flashed before her eyes, it feels like the time she fell through the ice, then came out alive"
"and at first blush this is fate. When it's all roses, portrait poses, central park lake row boats... That's when she sees the littlest leaks and just knows, she must bolt."
"ended with the slam of a door, then he'll call her a whore, wish he wouldn't be sore but if she was leaving it felt like breathing."
Robin: Eric, this is legit Lily and Serena when literally anything involves Eric
I can't even draw up lines, it's the whole song
The Manuscript: any relationship involving Blair
"all that's left is the manuscript, one last souvenir from my trip to your shores. Now and then I reread the manuscript, but the story isn't mine anymore."

Ppl like Maddy bc she’s confident and hot. It’s not that deep.
From I’ve seen this is true. In most of the fan videos Maddy is hot or repeatedly saying c*nt. She’s a total mean girl and is loved for it. I don’t get the appeal of her character. She doesn’t really do anything that indicates she’s a good person or a caring friend. Her confidence comes off as obnoxiousness half the time. Alexa is given meatier storylines than other characters but they are underwhelming due her performance. I don’t like Blair because she’s a mean girl but I think Leighton elevated her character by giving her vulnerability.
A confident character I do like is Brooke Davis from One Tree Hill. In the beginning of the series she’s insecure and seeks validation from men. However, by the end of the series she’s a confident young woman who has her own fashion label. Even when she’s instigator (S1) we see her dynamic with other characters, we see her being a caring and loyal friend.
In season 1 yes, Maddy doesn't have much depth but we do briefly see her being a good friend to Cassie after that caroussel scene. In season 2 however she has time away from Nate so she gets more development and we do see a sweeter side to her when she was giving advice to Kat, hugged Rue and was a pretty sweet babysitter to Theo.
Blair on the other hand was a great character in season 1 however, in season 2 onwards I feel like the writers just took out her dark schemey mean side and made that almost her entire personality. It got really annoying at times especially in that Fashion week episode and the whole Yale thing. It was when her relationship and friendship with Dan developed that we say her softer and nicer side again. She was so much calmer and happier and more mature as opposed to how insecure she was always with Chuck. Just like Maddy, she is a much better person when she's away from her abuser.
From what I've seen on OTH I absolutely adore Brooke even though I have only seen the first season, she's still the best girl. However I would compare her to Cassie more than Maddy.
