I do not own Gossip Girl and though I wish I did at one point in time I can only own up to the words printed below.
If you are reading this Authors note I'm sorry it has NOTHING to do with whether I will be updating. I am working on some one shots but alas they just seem so irrelevant right now at least to me, should you read any further than this please note:
I ask that you please be respectful in your response as this is my opinion and last time I checked I was entitled to it the same way you are entitled to yours.
With that said, here goes.
I know that I still love Chair and all but reading the synopsis of what happened in the V-Day eps just make me want to vomit.
I'm pretty much extra PISSED..and all this talk about "Harry met Sally'...
and how the friendship is blossoming into something wonderful...I'm glad I stopped watching cold turkey.
Yes Blair has been shit on by Chuck but also by EVERY character in that show and JUST recently the same F^&king prick that she is so happy to suddenly be with ... It would appear the writers seem to forget that Chair fans remember it all ... they way Dan was so mad at Blair for what she did to his sister ...how he was angry when she would be in his and Serena's business..all I can say is I haven't forgotten and nor will I forget. I get that Chuck and Blair's relationship at times was toxic it was what made them so desired...they were opposites that attracted each other...he the bad boy she the good girl that was bad on the inside. All that they have 'waffle boy' doing is what they could have had Chuck doing them starting over as friends ..going back to basics...that is why I'm calling this writing and this season BULL SHIT.
See I how I see it I know that people can change their minds and choose to ship another couple ...what I don't get is the writing and how the writers seem to forget that the same writing they are using now was the same thing that got Chair to be the great ship that they were. They could have taken the time to write them C/B this way with Chuck redeeming himself to Blair proving that he loves her and can be that friend that he was to her as well as an able lover. I just can't wrap myself in this Dair fantasy that I see so many past Chair shippers falling into, if they can put all this energy into developing yet another 4 eps relationship...why can't they just build on what they have already. I get that he is making her feel good, I get that he is there for her trust me I get that she likes movies and they have the same interest...but again and I say again...wasn't that the same with Chuck...as dark and twisted as he was/is he ensured that she knew just how much he loved her, the chemistry was numbing at times.
See all that Chuck did to Blair and I'd say 80% of time and some may disagree was because he loved her and he let his insecurities show in many of the choices he made. I get that he treated her badly he slept with J...he sold her for his hotel .I get that an trust me I was ready to castrate his sorry behind...but who hasn't made DUMB choices...who is so perfect...Dan..I think not.
See in my twisted, chair filled fantasy world...I see their relationship as being realistic...what relationship does not encure disagreements, hardship and the occasional break up here and there...I understand that it is a TV show and all the characters at one point will sleep with each other...yet to jump ship and say ..'Oh Dair is endgame'...'Dair is perfect' shows that loyalty is a thing of the past.
I stand by my ship and though I have not watched since the 'Saints and Sinners' break up...I still hold GG dear to me and if things go the way of Dair...I can only hope that many of you get what you are praying for , because Chair fans didn't. Stephanie said she can't write people in relationships...so when yours go south who are you going to root for Blair and anybody else they decide to pair her with?...hmmm. as for Blair being happy kudos an that because we all can see she is always t he brunt of the jokes on GG always meant to be the fall girl whether with a man, Serena or her mother...so jump ship if you must but I remain steadfast in my ship of Chair.
I probably would have felt the same way as many other chair shippers but because I got no closure and the fact that they are taking the same route they did to get Chair to where they are caused me to be stringent in my belief that thee writers are all about OMG moment and pissing of there fan base...*shakes head* no wonder the rating are falling. I say quality writing will save the day not just because all other shows have everyone hook up are you expected to do the same I say GG could have set the bar differently but no...they had t o join the rest of TV and for t hat I say I'm sorry for them because while other shows that do are surviving in the ratings you unfortunately are not.
I will Forever remain A Proud Chair shipper.
Much Love and respect to everyone.
