That's great.

I've wanted them since he comforted her Season 1.

They both deserve better in relationships and they both can give each other that.

Dan deserves to not be taken for granted and to be supported in his own endeavors. Blair does that. She may chide him and undermine him, but she views him as a worthy adversary, often her only real competition and the past few episodes she's bitched out Serena and defended Dan's worth to her. She also keeps mentioning his writing and knows and pays attention to what he wants to do and accomplish. She'll give him crap if he starts to act up but she also will defend him as well.

Blair deserves for someone to make her happy, to be her equal both intellectually and powerfully and someone who can make her feel like she can be herself, but that who that girl is isn't just a scheming, sly person who is only as good as what her "destiny" is. Dan is that person for her. We've seen him empathize with her time and time again, tell her she deserves someone who makes her happy. Dan also isn't above playing her games and scheming and sabotaging - he's definitely her equal to her in that regard - but he can also challenge her intellectually and he can call her out on when a scheme won't work and is silly. He's one of the first people to act as though she's not going to end up as some society trophy wife.

They are OTP. Hands down OTP.

Great Post.

I agree with everything.

Preach!

I agree and I think the writers agree as well because they're really trying to show what you just wrote.

Jaime Bee

They are.

I'm still trying not to invest too much.

Like I've said it's not working.

Air

I agree they really seem to be! They have to at least mean half of what comes across on screen, right?

Jaime Bee

I would think so.

I like when he brought her lunch because he knows she's a food snob lol. She was all like "Sweet!" but concealed it from him, she didn't want him to get any ideas lol.

I flove Ryan Star, so seeing Dair set to "Brand New Day" is sweet. And it's a gorgeous vid!

I'm really starting to think they are perfect for each other.

Air

Me too! More and more and more and more!

Amazing post! I really like the care the writers have been putting into this sl so far, I just hope they'll follow through on it.

Air

thanks! And i hope so too. So so much!

Jaime Bee

I've always thought they were perfect for each other.

I bow to your good judgment early on, Jaime!

Chuck and Blair were really incredible for a time. I couldn't help myself!
