Nate: Where are you going?

Dan: Back to my bedroom. I sleep better in my own bed.

Blair: Oh, I know a dozen men who'd say otherwise.

Some more headcanons:

I’ve decided Nate definitely didn’t serve in wwi and he carries a lot of guilt about that—I don’t remember if there was a draft, but it was common for people to draft dodge in the civil war by buying a replacement, so…

Dan, on the other hand, probably did. He’s a newspaper guy, now, and he’s stuck with the society pages even though he doesn’t want them and no one will really talk to a ‘poor’ man with a limp

Which, well, enter Blair, who is basically just Blair but in the twenties—I feel like she and Nate would’ve actually gotten married, because I’m a little fascinated by the idea of them having a marriage that’s happy except for the part where they’re not in love because it’s the twenties, and it would be way less likely for them to defy their families

I do think she had an affair with chuck, which ended uh. Badly, obviously. Because it’s chuck.

Maybe this one ends up with dair running off together and maybe it ends with dan/blair/nate because that ends better for Nate, at least

Serena is probably involved with the edges of flapper culture, because that has big Serena energy, and I feel like she probably broke an engagement to, like, carter or somebody and is on the path to pariah-ville and weirdly okay with it

Flappers as a subculture also have big Vanessa energy, especially because of the, like, expansion of women’s role in society? Yes they were known as party girls but they were also fucking with gender roles and disregarding what they were Supposed To Be

Also, speaking of marriages where people aren’t in love: EricJenny lavender marriage!!!!

aww, did you read the article they did on vanessa in that prop still from 3x06? she was doing so good at NYU!!! she apparently helped unionize their dining facilities??? which woah, she deserves that article lol. i hope her going to spain was just a study abroad thing, out of everyone she definitely deserved to actually finish college and graduate, she was enjoying it so much :(

i didn’t, actually, until i got your ask! “numerous social and environmental…..” ! there’s something about green initiatives as well. i cannot believe we actually had a character who spoke about social change + social justice and actually MADE it happen and majority of the fandom hates her??? like. nobody else was doing these things?

yeahhhh i hate what they did to dan and vanessa at college. like those two deserved to just vibe and to be the “popular kids” for once…..vanessa especially….unlike dan, this wasn’t even a last resort kind of college option for her. it was a change in plan and - you’re right that she was SO happy there.

Conlang Dialogue, Episode 102, Emerald City

So here’s where things get weird... The spells the witches use are written in a type of English I don’t really get... That made translation difficult (LOT of wordplay that was never going to get translated). Sometimes I was utterly flummoxed. So with that...good luck!

(Note: Per usual, not all this dialogue may have made it into the episode.)

MOMBI To obscure true nature / And flesh be turned / Inverted from all eyes / Including thine own. TRANSLATION Ozatieher korat aneadovaar / Uuveher iosó / Uonatiklhour beanó / Sealhour pashe.

GLINDA/WEST The candle dims she makes her light ascent / Like smoke extinguished of flame she was / Our sister lies eternal now and still. TRANSLATION Naianara hefannis denen glinatieshean ehiishnis / Brusshan aglinunaarat iiveler ozun / Aane inhavat ekopnisaarasaz kiushnis leifnis.

WEST You corpses rise and animate the dead / On strings like puppets stuffed with blood and bone. TRANSLATION Vea zeorasiua: ehiishó zeoratiea abuezhó / Erkelua voikashua shoisat tovaia guuraia.

WEST Mimic me, you crude and jarring skeletons / And dance together, stir my dark portent. TRANSLATION Aasha urusó, vea vuira arozhaiasa drailiua / Nisha nishoa memó, aava fana trousha ambrasó.

WEST In unison you spin and twist the dance / Moves fast and quicker still intoxicated. TRANSLATION Niatieaia vea nuashaias iosaias mematie / Paisoasas elaias ipuegaias.

WEST Flesh and blood cast out their rigamortis / Of all you dead cold sister come embrace / And bid farewell a kiss the last between. TRANSLATION Uuv tov zheava oezhatiea foraias / Vealura zeorat aanea rushat alousó / Maizha zhonó erin dairat deashoa.

MOMBI Swell, you timbered prison door and crack / My keep be breached, obliterate, and split! TRANSLATION Euofó, se giuma voz ekoshó / Hea isaaraturher kotisó, zhafeuzó, efesó!

MOMBI Hear my words / Guide my hands / Hear my words / Guide my hands / Hear my words / Guide my hands... TRANSLATION He zhonasilheu varó / He gaiazeu mashó / He zhonasilheu varó / He gaiazeu mashó / He zhonasilheu varó / He gaiazeu mashó...

MOMBI May this potion cloak the child / Hide what’s true / Call out the alter / Change the flesh but keep the soul. TRANSLATION Zia viigasil poelhe apiezhó / Koratieher beanó / Havatieher abuezhó / Uuveher havó, zaihe isaaró.
