WELCOME TO THE 34th
BLAIR WALDORF/DAN HUMPHREY
APPRECIATION THREAD

"His eyes go wide,
but his voice gets so
soft and serious that I kind of
love him now. "Do you... Do you love him?"
Somehow him saying it, the way he says it,
makes him wonderful:
like the whole world
is going Magic Eye and he's seeing
the Blair behind the headbands
and then ... It's like Victrola for a second.
She's just a girl."(TWOP)

"It's where Blair's language and
Dan's language meet, because they're both
afraid of the same thing, which is that
somebody will notice how easily
they can be destroyed... Dan shakes his head,
knowing she's on autopilot,
scared out of her wits in a ****ty Brooklyn café.
They lock eyes; it's the first time
they've ever seen each other."
(TWOP)

"These two freaks need all the help
they can get, and it makes me happy when
anybody can see through or around the
very substantial
layers of bull**** they generate around
themselves every day.
Blair deserves to feel brave,
and loved, and Dan deserves
to feel like he's helping, like his help
is actually requested and required.
Like a man." (TWOP)

She's Bergdorf's, he's Brooklyn...
and her best frenemy's sometimes
beau. It's a mismatch made
in bitchy teen-angst Nirvana that
would leave poor Chuckles Bass
with nothing but his practice sneer and
a closetful of bespoke tweed suits to
keep him warm! Plus, with D & B boy
yearning for Yale, we know there would
be Ivy League-caliber banter. (TV Guide)

"What I love about Dair is that
both of them are VERY smart
and always look out for the ones they love,
even though they handle it in different ways.
Not to mention that both have
trust issues and I don't
think anyone could be more honest to
Blair than Dan and vice versa.
They are opposites, but at the same
time they have a lot in common...
I like to think that they can
balance each other." (Nat)

"I think they have the most potential
than any other potential pairing on this show.
They have great chemistry as
"enemies" and this can only lead
to a love full of fire and passion." (Shira)

"Dair is "Rebel with a Cause"
fighting against their inner demons
and own insecurities and in
the process finding and
discovering comfort,
acceptance and Love." (Tig)

"They would be the star-crossed couple
of the show,
the real meaning of opposite
attraction and the audiencie is really
drawn to this kind of relationship" (Nat)

1x04 Bad News Blair
Blair: Normally I wouldn't be this close to you without a tetanus shot.
Dan: My mom kind of left us a couple of months ago. Only my...
my dad and my sister don't really see that,
'cause she told us she had to go away for the summer to,
uh... to follow her dreams and be an artist.
But it's not summer anymore and she's still up there.
And that's all she seems to care about right now.
Every time I go to see her,
I tell myself this time I'm going to tell her what I think.
This time I'm going to look her in the eye,
and say... either come home or leave for good.
And so there I was, just the other day;
I was sitting across the table from her,
I looked her straight in the eye and I didn't say anything.
Blair: Why not?
Dan: I don't know. But I wish I had.
'Cause, even if it didn't change anything,
she'd know how I felt.

2x08 Pret-A-Poor Jenny
Blair: I don't understand how it got to this place.
Blair: If I say it, then he wins. And if he wins,
then I'll just be another girl to him.
Dan: You don't know if that's true.
You have to decide what's most important to you.
Keeping your pride and getting nothing,
or taking a risk and maybe having everything.

1x18 Much "I Do" about nothing
Dan: "This is so weird, I don't normally
do plots against people."
Blair: "Don't worry virgin; I'll talk you through it."
Blair: (excited) Humphrey! You are a born liar!
Dan: Thanks, I think...
Blair: All that stuff about last night was genius,
anything you want to tell me?
Dan: Uh no. Like you said, just born to lie.

2x17 Carnal Knowledge
Blair: The Ladies Room? I knew you and Serena
were having problems, but I had no clue
they were anatomical.
Dan: The only reason I'm trespassing on
sacred ground is because I know you sent that
rumor to Gossip Girl.
Blair: Sorry, no idea what you're talking about.
You can go now.
Dan: Look, whatever issues you have against
Rachel, she cares about people,
she cares about her job.
Blair:Oh, That is so sweet. Maybe you should
write a short story about it and have Rachel
give you notes...naked.

1x16: All About My Brother
Blair: "Dan Humphrey. Just who I hate
to admit I was looking for."
Dan: Wha... Uh, what are you talking about?
Blair: Cheating, drinking, drugs, It's all fair game.
But outing your sister's boyfriend is dark.
How did squeaky-clean Humphrey even come up with that?
Dan: I didn't come up with anything.
Blair: Oh my God, you know something. Spill it.
Dan: Yeah, I might have seen Asher kissing another guy.

The Chemistry

"This is so weird, I don't
normally do plots against people."
"Don't worry virgin;
I'll talk you through it."

"Don't disappear. Become unavoidable.
Chuck may be a deviant but he's still a
man. Drive him crazy. Wear him down.
You should be good at that."
"Look who finally got a little interesting."
"I'm sure it's a fluke."

"What are you doing here?
Do I smell pork? And... cheese?"

"I just thought you should know.
Before you fall head over heels for your
perfect girl in her perfect world and then
get left all alone with nothing but your
Cabbage Patch kid."

"I'll tell you all about it"
"Oh... Please don't."

"See you later, Waldorf."

"The only thing lamer than dating Dan Humphrey
is mourning Dan Humphrey."

"Google revenge and you'll get BlairWaldorf.com"

"The point is who dates first wins and with your ex
being Dan Humphrey you win by default."

"Here comes your ghost of boyfriend past to haunt me."

"I want Dan Humphrey's head on a platter."

"Thanks for bringing me, Humphrey."
"No headbands in college, ok?"
