he looks so stupid

[strideofpride]

#the way he and blair were both in some chuck bass thrall though#if one couldn't break free that meant neither of them could#blair and nate's fates are tied in a very interesting way#idk#i just think that if one of them had successfully cut ties#that meant the other could too#but they never get the chance#because the other keeps pulling them back in#we talk about the push and pull of blairena a lot#but the thing about blair and nate#is that they're each the anchor tied to the other's ankle#dragging them down (via @terrainofheartfelt)

I really do wish we'd gotten the eric season 4 guilt spiral bc how do you even begin to unpack all of that. eric was friends with chuck. he probably did tell jenny that "chuck's not so bad once you talk to him" (how could he know that jenny tried and was almost raped in return? she's doesn't exactly talk about it)

"he has always been that person and he always will be" could he have known? could he have said something at the time? could he have prevented some of it?

chuck was his brother until bart died and chuck made it clear he didn't want to be anymore- he never apologized. jenny was his sister until she made it clear she doesn't wanna be. eric finds her in the chapel and doesn't mention being family at all. "you're still my best friend"

he stops talking to chuck midway through season 2. chuck apologies to jenny towards the end of the season- eric probably finds out then. he doesn't go back to talking to chuck

he spends most of season 3 at odds with jenny. the moments where he's not are moments he isn't there. eric was never a series regular

jenny didn't talk to chuck until in season 3. because chuck "deeply regrets his actions." he promised to not be around but he's around her more than ever. didn't he graduate? why is he scheming with a high schooler? dan and serena barely talk to their respective younger siblings anymore. it's just jenny, eric, and chuck

but eric was never a series regular. so jenny falls further and further in with chuck

eric doesn't do anything to stop it. he cant stop anything. and nobody can stop jenny. (he encouraged this, once upon a time)

jonathan breaks up with eric. but that's jenny's fault. everything's jenny's fault

jenny's crying in the chapel. her family hates her. everyone wants to send her away. even she wants to send her away. only eric wants her to stay- but eric cant stop anything. and nobody can stop jenny

she also says it wasn't chuck's fault. you know that's not true. not everything is jenny's fault

chuck hurt jenny, and eric's seen the full extent. he knows it's unforgivable

chuck hurt serena, but eric only knows parts. and everyone knows chuck's a sleaze (and serena's a slut) so everyone forgets. (maybe even serena, who encourages her best friend to date chuck. you try not to think about it)

jenny's gone. eric's second older sister would kill her if she came back (she begged chuck to come back)

elliot breaks up with eric and that's not jenny's fault. jenny's not even here and things are still bad. was anything jenny's fault?

damian's here. and at least he's someone. and the way that ended probably wasn't jenny's fault (even if the way it went might have been)

but damian was only here for serena (because it's always about serena) but at least she's safe. and at least eric got some sleep

jenny's gone, but she's still a series regular. you assume things are better for her. things don't seem like they're allowed to get better for her

jenny's in hudson and serena's in college and chuck should be in hell but he's not

it's tragic

it was avoidable

if only eric could stop anything

eric tells rufus what happened. he's angry until he's told not to be. you're pretty sure his wife is lying. she seems the type

jenny's gone and jonathan's gone and elliot's gone and damian's gone serena's in college and chuck's still not in hell

dan knows. dan's angry too

until dans dating blair. then it stops coming up

but at least blair isnt dating chuck

at least chuck can feel like he's in hell

eric was never a series regular

SPOILERS FOR GOSSIP GIRL(??):

unpopular but popular (??) opinion but I hate Chuck Bass. I'm not sorry but if you try to SA not one but TWO characters in the PILOT EPISODE, you already aren’t my favorite character or climbing up to be one. I don't know why he was/is so loved by most of the fandom/watchers of the show when this happened + so much more has happened. I’m not sure if he gets a redemption or not only seeing I’m on season 4 but so far he doesn’t have anything to get on my good side. and I’m not sorry.

also I hate the way he talks and I hate him and blair relationship

UPDATE: just watched s4 e20 and WTF HOW DO PEOPLE LIKE HIM SO MUCH!?!? HE LITERALLY FORCES HIMSELF ON BLAIR THEN PUNCHES THE MIRROR/GLASS NEXT TO HER!! ALL BECAUSE SHE SAID SHE WAS ENGAGED!

I just don't know how people can like him!

[ringoandolive]

People watch gossip girl and are like "wow, chuck and Blair are so full of passion! Unlike blair and... d*n 🤢" but then you watch it and the passion they're talking about is literally just abuse and chuck degrading blair and making her feel like garbage at any given moment

[strideofpride]

#the dark closed rooms x the sunny outside#chuck putting on the necklace x dan giving blair the tiara so she puts it on herself#how defeated and sullen blair is with chuck x how incandescently happy she’s with dan (via @andthatscanon)

#ALL CH*CK ROMANTIC GESTURES ARE ALWAYS IN PRIVATE#he does the same thing with raina#stealing my own tags from that other post:#🪑 scenes in private always feel cold and in isolation#it feels like dair is two lonely people finding comfort together. and 🪑 is two people separating themselves from everything else (via @blairwld)

#in the other two chuck is putting it on blair. she lets him but he’s the one putting it onto her.#in the last scene dan gives the tiara to blair and SHE gets to put it on. with a huge smile on her face!!!#because 1) she’s not just going along with what her partner is doing 2) the actual meaning behind the trinkets gives something to feel for (via @inlovewith-icecream)

dair parallels (140/?)

Gossip Girl 1x08 // Gossip Girl 3x18 // Gossip Girl 5x19

[maysdecember]

this 4.10 / 6.01 parallel is really funny to me, even after chucks "redemption arc" hes still a worse person than dan is 😭

[strideofpride]

the chip ‘n blair house apparently hit the market yesterday. chair in their divorce era confirmed 😌

https://www.curbed.com/2023/05/miranda-priestly-devil-wears-prada-house-nyc-is-for-sale.html

Okay first of all, this was always in their cards. Like they were divorced before they were even married, you know? Cyrus is thrilled though, he can't wait to get that motherfucker out of her life.

Second of all, feeling some type of way about the fact that Blair designed her new bathroom to look almost identical to her old bathroom.

Something something you can never escape something something time is a flat circle something something cycles repeat etc etc

[fearsomeandwretched]

Just this rewatch huh? 🙄

#i feel a lot better now reading that i'm not the only one that thinks that the necklace and the whole 'hands around her neck' is weird#and i'm making this about dair now but#when he gives her the crown 1. is not a real one. showing that is more about feelings than the actual gift#2. he is literally empowering her by doing so#the necklaces are gifts that show everyone that blair belongs to chip#the crown is a symbolic gift for blair. nobody else cares about it. its just for her#i also find interesting that these 2 scenes are in private. similar to when chip makes that romantic place for raina#while the crown scene in on the met steps (which is symbolic for blair for a million reasons) but it also happens in broad daylight#i talked before about how dair scenes tend to be private. but they are cozy and warm. the met scene is one of the few that i can think of#where its surrounded by people and it still keeps that warm glow#🪑scenes in private always feel cold and in isolation#it feels like dair is two lonely people finding comfort together. and 🪑is two people separating themselves from everything else (via @blairwld)

the way that he keeps using shiny jewerly to make her feel better instead of actually be there for her or. you know. apologize for making her life miserable

Y'all really tried gaslighting me into thinking Chuck and Blair's abusive relationship was somehow #goals.

Nah, Blair and Dan is where it's at!

I kissed someone. And it was truly a life-changing experience.
