@@CHAMPIONSCRUCIBLE ​​⁠ let’s not forget the writers had no clue who gossip girl was until the very end & essentially threw dan under the bus for shock value because they knew there would be minimal backlash after they already spent a whole season making him a villain. the plot holes are numerous and most people agree that it made no sense.

Dan was the only person Blair could be her true self with. They had the same hobbies, passions, interests and deep inner world. Both intellectuals. Blair didn’t have to be “on guard” and putting on a show and proving her power like she always did with Chuck. She could actually just relax and be a real human being with Dan, and he was the only person who brought it out of her. She’d be so adorable sweet funny and cute with him. Her and Chuck had intense passion yes and it was entertaining, but she had a real soul deep love with Dan. Chuck loved Blair’s power. But Dan loved Blair’s soul, underneath the mask she always wore and he was the only person who ever got to see it

I love Dair. He was the only guy, during the entire show, who truly loved and respected her. Her only healthy relationship. Waiting for the Serena and Nate video!

[@weronika8709]

After all these years i still can not understand how people can concider them as a healty couple. The only reson Blair decided to be with dan was cuz she basically lost her mind during season 5. She went through so much and she needed to be taken care of. And she felt she would found that comfort in Dan because she knew he loved her and was there for her. Ironically he sometimes was the only one with her because he was isolating her from chuck and serena. He was always trying to make chuck as a bad guy, for example after her bachelorette party he let blair think that chuck was behind this whole aressting thing. Or when he found out about the dowry he let her think it was just because he want to win her back. Dan was so insecure cuz he knew that sooner or later blair will choose chuck and im not saying this just because im team chair. It it clear that for blair dan was only a rebound and she never loved him. She even said that she knew he would never hurt her that’s why she settled for him. Even though he hurt her. He did probably most horrible thing by uploading on gg video at her and loui’s wedding. He knew it is going to ruin everything between and he knew he could easily blame chuck for it. He knew it that blair would believe him. It made sense in his head. He wasnt just trying to help her he wanted and all he could to be with her. He even manipulated her to be with him by saying that either she would be with him or she will lose him as a friend. She was just terrified of being alone. She went through so much during that season she needed something safe and simple. But it wasnt true love. She never truly respected him because after they broke up she went back to treating him as a trash and as someone less worthy form rest of them. I get it if you prefer dan and blair i can say that they were a decent copule in couple of episodes but they weren’t healthier than most of other couples in the show. Maybe if they relationship happened during different circumstances i would like them more. But they only got them together just to keep blair and chuck away from each other till the end of the season and you cant simply argue with that. Dan wanted blair all to himself he desperately wanted her to go with him to italy because he knew it was the only way they would stay together for longer. Before his offer she never thought about spending summer with him, she knew it wasnt something serious between them. She described him in her diary as “fun”. Sometimes i wonder if i can say she kinda used him?? But i dont know. And just like serena said he didnt love the real blair he loved blair he created in his book, because if he truly loved her and wanted her to be happy he would encourage her to be with chuck. Before accident he event told her that blair and chuck are meant for each-other. The most funny thing about dair shippers is that they always say that they had so much trust which is so not true. Dan didn’t trust blair, he even stalked her when he knew she was close to chuck. Im not saying he didn’t have his reasons to be suspicious but it only proves my point that he was aware about blair’s feelings towards chuck. Im not gonna even mention how he cheated on blair with serena and said that he thought she changed. He didn’t understand her at all, they may have mutual interest in movies and literature which I personally found adorable and i love them as friends but only as friends. The thing i like about chuck is that he matured and grew up and became worthy of blair’s love. Dan got only worse during the show.

@@weronika8709Dan didn’t need to make Chuck out to be a bad guy. He is a bad guy. Attempted r*pe isn’t something you grow up and grow out of. There’s no maturing necessary.

Being an adult is realizing Dan and Blair were the only healthy relationship on the show. Chuck trafficked Blair to his Uncle for a hotel. It’s not only one of the most illegal crimes, its despicable and unforgivable. He did not respect her as a human being.

I don't understand how Dan ended up with Serena when he literally chose Blair over her...

[@afrenchexo-l1418]

Becoming an adult and maturing is realizing and admitting that the couple Dan & Blair was the best couple (and especially the healthiest) of the entire series. Chuck and Blair will always be iconic and adored but this couple is the very embodiment of the original toxic couple. Dan brought out the best in Blair, he loved her for who she was. And she was obviously happier and more fulfilled with him. The whole arc of the beginning of their friendship and their couple is very well written

[@dellyjohan9559]

Couldnt agree more! As a teenager and single adult I adored Serena. But after collecting and watching the 4th n 5th season, i'm loving Blair, and Dair was one of the best relationship!

[@lunaloutfy]

No because how can people still hate them together?! Do you guys seriously not see how pure and healthy their love is? They had such a natural progression over the course of the show, and we still didn’t see it coming because we were led to believe otherwise with how heavily they focused on the other main ships. Dan and Blair brought out a different side of one another and definitely completed each other with how they were equals and partners in their relationship. Their development is honestly so beautiful, and their relationship was such a delight to witness. They were so refreshing and pleasing to the eye for me because of how much they grew to care for one another. Their indirect slow burn and development was perfect in every way! They deserved to end up together. Even Leighton and Penn liked their relationship, so I really wish people would give them a chance. They really were the real deal, and I loved them so much. If only some of the fandom could see how perfect they were to each other because of their shared interests and how well they got along. They really could’ve gone so far in their relationship if people were more open about them 😭❤️ They even remind me of Rory and Jess from Gilmore Girls because of the conversationalist aspect of their relationship and their philosophical and intellectual banters! I genuinely believe that the most important part of a relationship is conversation, and their dynamic was very interesting and entertaining because there was always something new they had to talk about to keep the comfortable vibe they’ve got going! By talking about literally anything and everything, they can easily do so much about what they discuss :)

[@graceblood6198]

I was on the edge of my seat for this couple. They had amazing chemistry together. I stopped watching when the writers randomly broke them up. Very strange to put Blair back with her abuser.

[@thaisb5535]

People who don't see how good for each other they were, are stuck in a perspective of a love that weakens you. Blair was not only vulnerable with Chuck, she was placed in an inferior position as the video shows. As a teenager you don't understand this, that's okay, but as an adult it's very worrying. Dan and Blair were the good, simple love that Blair once wanted. He saw her completely (she said in the vows). Their dynamics were fun and brought a new air to the series. Blair subjecting herself to getting back together with Chuck was a discredit to the character and the entire evolution of the storytelling.

[@annab.3942]

PERFECTLY said. Like you can’t love Blair and also want her to be with Chuck at the same time. That relationship literally undermined her power. Dan let her shine.

[@jungkookers]

oh wow you worded this perfectly

[@Yash_0769]

Dan and Blair are like Stefan and Caroline from TVD ... pure, funny and connected on a much deeper level.

EXACTLYYY

[@chantalross5055]

YOU GOT TASTE

[@delpicsla65]

Well yes. Except I ship Caroline with Klaus LOL

[@DaytimeSlaytime-eq2nf]

I would not compare them. Blair and Dan have a chemistry that actually makes the transition from platonic to romantic work, especially because they fell in love once they truly got to know each other and not the ideas they had of each other. Stefan and Caroline just don't... They made great friends but the romance was forced, they already knew each other from the get go. So when people say "they just paired up Dair because they were left" that's how I feel about Steroline. And that statement is so stupid for Dair because they've had subtext since season 1. Not even the situations are comparable.

[@emptyheaded7182]

"I want a pure, simple love like you and Vanya have" Blair said to Dorota.... she had it with Dan, but had so little self worth she went back to the complete opposite of that. Vicious cycle. I wish s6 instead of being repetitive fodder had explored this part of Blair and her Stockholn syndrome-ish relationship with Chuck as well as overcoming that finally. Maybe Serena could've helped as to bury the hatchet between them. All these friendships seemed so forced at the end, but the one that didn't (Dan) they made her hate? These writers seemed like they didn't even watch what they wrote seasons prior.

[@yippietrips9700]

Honestly, as much as i want chuck n blair, I cant deny the chemistry with this two. I think Dan's feeling for Blair was much more sincere and pure than his feelings for Serena

[@neepagummapu]

blair and dan were the best gossip girl couple. the writers/makers really fumbled with this one. if only they were brave enough to make them endgame. this couple was the only one that actually had growth throughout the show. from enemies to bitter accomplices to being able to bear each other to acquaintances to friends to lovers. they were fucking perfect for each other. the only man who saw her as more then what others saw her. they truly were equals. instead they go back to toxic relationships and boring relationships that outlived their purpose. just imagine the plot when blair and dan are going steady and she finds out he was gossip girl all along. she would have been angry at first and then she would actually be impressed he pulled off something like that. they would have work through new sets of doubts and tribulations but they would find a way to make it work. missed opportunity. if they had been endgame, it would have the ultimate enemies to lovers and the ultimate rich girl poor boy couple in the television universe. i will forever resent the makers for not giving me that!!!!

[@MyTaaB]

THIIISS!!!!☝🏻

[@tinycindy2977]

Yeah, Serena stomaching the fact that Dan was gossip girl made the ending less believable. Blair would have been furious at first but after taking her revenge she would have accepted him.

[@DarthHadeous]

Kinda wanted them to be endgame cause it was a real evolution for the Blair character in that she let go of status and wealth but instead she went back to the rich guy.

My favorite relationship in the show even though I knew it wouldn’t last. I was so mad when they ended things

[@champagnexoxo1198]

They were the only “non-toxic” couple, at least to the GG level. Dan was the ONLY guy who really loved her and protected her, not like Mr. I sold you for an hotel and trade you to my uncle. -- Dan and Blair actually had intelligence chemistry and tension, not like body chemistry she had with Chuck. But Blair had to be Blair and pick the lowest like Chuck. This couple was actually interesting and not predictable

[@rosemorgan4474]

Can we all just agree that Chuck and Georgina should’ve been “Gossip Girl?” They might’ve even roped Vanessa and Juliet into it too.

[@So-wb8wr]

Georgina maybe, but how could Chuck be Gossip Girl? It’s ridiculous. Chuck did some bad things, but he would never betray his friends like that, and in the end he turned out to be the most loyal of NJBC. Plus he was never obsessed with Serena, he always cared more about Blair, so if he were Gossip Girl would have talked mainly about Blair, not Serena. Another important point is that Chuck was always at parties and he was almost never sober, especially in the first 2 seasons, when would he have time to write on the blog? Anyway, Chuck is more like "I don’t write books about people, they write them about me". He could never have been GG. Dan was perfect. He is smart and discreet, goes unnoticed and he has that "good guy" attitude that convinced people to trust him. Plus he’s always been obsessed with Serena. The problem is that the writers have chosen it at the last minute

[@lmnsgr1996]

Dan brought the other side of Blair that we all couldnt get when she with Chuck, in real life person like Blair end up with someone like Dan, so the writer made Chair end game for fan service sake ❤

Chuck Bass voice, 'They were prefecture. Blair was calling out to Dan in a manner, she had never done before, with anyone. Season 5 episode 15, is a true marker of something that bloomed to be one of the best scenes in its entire; And not even chuck bass's many scenes with blair, could challenge the magic of Dan and Blair; while everyone was acting there was real chemistry in those moments. After seeing Dan with Blair it was clear, that chuck wasn't her only pairing.
