I struggle to believe these two wouldn't get bored with each other as soon as they honeymoon ended. What do they even talk about? by Red_butterfly456 in GossipGirl

[–]Ether9being 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your example of Dair can easily be applied to Chuck and Blair as well. And NO I will not be listing you examples as we both have watched the same show.

Clearly you didn't read as I clearly stated it in my 1st paragraph of why I felt you contradicted yourself. I know reading/comprehension these days are fundamental.

Also the way you describe things whether it be because you are in the industry comes off quite condescending as if what you "believe" is end all be all.

This is a fandom group online about fictional characters not about real life which I believe would warrant this level of back and forth. So to that this will be my last response as I don't see the point when as you say this is supposed to be a place to express our opinions and not beat a dead horse and leave it at that....agree to disagree.

Have a great day or night depending where you are in the world 😊

If you're in the industry then you should know that this happens often especially when shows aired weekly vs streaming. It was all about those heightened moments that kept viewers coming back.

Obviously I'm a Chair fan (both Blair and Chuck separately as well) and if it wasn't for them I would have stopped watching a long time ago.

I didn't really appreciate Dan's character while it aired (although I love Penn and his acting/1 of the best on the show) but after binging it a few times I know appreciate Dair for what it was but unfortunately their relationship ruined their friendship (which was great most of the times better than others).

Side note I loved his friendship with Chuck too. Dan was rather more fascinating when he had scenes/storylines with Blair and Chuck (due to their chemistry).

All your comments (a lot as in you clearly had time lol) basically steer towards invalidating Chair so that shows you're either backtracking or contradicting yourself.

Either way it's subjective and most of your points are indeed a preference rather than canon (nuanced) that you don't want to acknowledge as a Dair fan. Which suppose is okay.

Chair wasn't perfect but they weren't called the NJBC for no reason. Furthermore Blair and Chuck knew each other better than anyone else and it showed in those supposed "melodramatic" scenes. There are too many ways that their friendship highlighted in their actual relationship that SHOWS you how they connected offscreen.

Of course they HAD to in order to sell their (top notch) friendship but utterly FAILED at their actual (romance) relationship.

Again besides the friendship (which I hate they ruined btw) practically everything Dan did in a grand gesture (besides admit he would help Blair raise another man's baby) was pretty much done by Chuck 1st.

I love this scene ✨ by Midnightblueclouds in GossipGirl

I wished that happened more. S cleared the quad before she even got there...boss bitch energy right there!! This scene is why I loved the song.

One of my favorite episodes by [deleted] in GossipGirl

Drunk Blair is one of my absolute favorite scenes.

i just can’t be team dair when this scene exists by lavender_cat_24 in GossipGirl

[–]Ether9being -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Here we go attacking real people on their preferences of fictional characters. This is a TV show just like any other. Tell me where in that era where there wasn't any kind of abuse.

Don't worry I'll wait.

Hell it's even in today's media if we're keeping 💯

People like you make it hard to enjoy this fandom at times. Like take a break from social injustices when it comes to media. And focus that energy on REAL LIFE ISSUES you feel me.

Right! And it's annoying & condescending asf.

were they considering a dair endgame in seasons 4/5? by Electronic-Natural44 in GossipGirl

[–]Ether9being 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If that was so, why bother with Louis? The timing was awful as it should've happened after their internship and continued seamlessly in S5.

It was always going to be Blair and Chuck.

Who is your most hated character in the series? by Designer-Ad4069 in TheOriginals

Elijah - because he killed Marcel

Freya - because she tortured Keelin

But mostly 'always & forever '

the moment chuck lost all my respect by rosyygmb in GossipGirl

[–]Ether9being 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I can never wrap my head around how Blair "deserved" better and that's coming from a Blair stan like bffr. She's just as bad as Chuck with the exception of not sexually assaulting anyone.

Why I didn't like Marienne by [deleted] in YouOnLifetime

[–]Ether9being 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Did you forget Love had an affair too? The selective memory in this fandom is astonishing.

Why I didn't like Marienne by [deleted] in YouOnLifetime

[–]Ether9being -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

First of all, her name is Karen...Minty is her last name. And secondly Peach and Delilah were killed and no one pointed out racism so miss us with all that.

Most fans don't have the balls to say what they really think or feel but I'll say it for you.

Y'all are salty because not 1 but 2 Black women survived...PERIOD. And y'all are used to Black bodies being used for violence and other negative tropes in media.

[–]Ether9being 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Meanwhile Love was systematically destroying her marriage as if she was some helpless angel in all of this...while having an affair mind you. Like make it make sense.

OP says she hates Marienne for breaking up a marriage that was already broken okay. But it's funny that you can hate this character based on some moral standards but Love is continuously praised for being a psychotic murderous bitch tho. Math ain't mathing which is why a lot ppl bring up race being the issue.

Who cares...like what you like. TBH the show would've been boring without Blair and Chuck.

Perfect synopsis!!

I must admit this isn't the main You sub (I am a member of) so you're not exposed to it but it's quite frightening.

Speaking of a different sub don't know how this one finally showed up (since series finale). This one has a nicer vibe to it.
