I honestly don't think I could ever forgive Blair for bringing up the Pete Fairman thing at Yale.
Blair name's a long list of what Serena stole from her, but the only things she actually stole were Nate and Blairs answer for the dinner thing at Yale.

You said that you're happy that Blair didn't get into Yale because at least she had some character developement at NYU, which I somewhat agree with, but have you ever considered how Blair not getting into Yale didn't make any sense in the context of the show? The characters were forgiven for and faced no consequences for worse things than inviting a teacher to a closed restaurant.
Yeah, sure, but Blair herself has done multiple things that she faces no consequences for. Getting Jenny locked in her mom's store in 1x05 (sure, Jenny outsmarted her, but still), trying to give Nelly Yuki a breakdown before her SATs & taking the batteries out of her calculator right before the SATs, making multiple girls cry over leggings vs tights, the way she treats her minions and barely sees them as people as much as she sees them as like. possessions. slut shaming serena so many times. name dropping Pete Fairman at the Dean's event in 2x06. and probably more things just in s1 and s2 that I'm not remembering right now.
I wanted her to face consequences one time at least. She's not playing the Sims, these are real people she's fucking with, and I think her not getting into Yale could've been such a powerful and necessary turning point for her character. you can disagree, obviously, but I feel really strongly about this.

random notes on serena van der woodsen
serena cecilia van der woodsen
born july 14 1991
serena is sixteen in the first season (high school junior) and turns seventeen before season two (high school senior). 
she ran away to boarding school during her sophmore year of high school. the series starts with her return.
she disappeared after sleeping with nate archibald while he was dating her best friend blair waldorf and then witnessing pete fairman’s drug overdose with georgina sparks. she believes herself responsible for both events.
in her vampire diaries verse, pete’s death triggers serena’s werewolf curse (inherited from her father) and she quickly relocates to mystic falls. her mother emotionally abandons her, though she does pay serena’s living expenses and buy her silence. theme: being both the beauty and the beast.

E-blast #17
After having sex with Nate, Serena desperately needed to leave the venue due to her feeling so guilty about what she did. She had plans to meet up with Georgina later and she went straight to their meeting place, a hotel. When she arrived, she found Georgina there with a guy named Pete Fairman. Unbeknownst to Serena, Georgina had previously set up a hidden camera to get a genuine Serena van der Woodsen sex tape. On the tape, it's shown that Pete asked Georgina if she was sure it would work, and she replied that Serena goes down for anything. Still upset and dwelling on what happened, Serena wasn't much fun and definitely not in a sexual mood. Serena goes to throw up, and Georgina tells Pete Serena gets in the mood after she hurls. When she comes back, she starts making out with Pete but before anything happens, Serena stops him and says they should do a line of cocaine first. She hands him the line and he does it, and immediately starts having a seizure. Panicking, Serena yells for Georgina who instructs Serena to find everything she touched and to take it with her. Before they leave, Serena calls 911 from Pete's phone. After leaving the hotel, Georgina tells Serena they have to split up in case people were looking for them. Serena decided to stay behind to see the paramedics save Pete's life but instead sees them carry out his dead body. Afterward, she caught a train, landed in Connecticut, got a hotel room, and convinced Lily boarding school was the best option. For anyone curious...

Kind of a dark train of thought but - reading that Dan trauma GG meta made something click into place for me. If we disregard the Dan-as-Gossip-Girl reveal as we’re all wont to do but still consider the rest of Dan’s actions in season 6, they actually do make a certain sense in light of the fact that Serena essentially committed a sex crime against him at the end of season 5. (Like I’m pretty sure filming sex with someone without their consent is 100% illegal by itself in NY, and then when you add in the fact that she got him drunk first likely knowing he wouldn’t have sex with her otherwise and also apparently held onto that video with the intent to someday use it as revenge porn… 😬) Specifically the Derena arc in the back half of the season - as rushed as it was, I actually completely buy Dan not only going back to Serena despite obviously not being over Blair, but writing that mean article. His reasoning in fact is explicitly to “show Serena he has power now too” and that he’s “not afraid to hurt her if she hurts him”, and while it’s presented as Dan wanting to be treated as Serena’s equal, I think it can also very much be read as Dan wanting to reassert “power” in a relationship where he had suddenly been made to feel extremely powerless. Like throughout the season Dan brings up the sex tape and his resentment towards Serena again and again clearly showing it was both still affecting him and a major driver of his actions (and somehow he’s supposed to be wrong for this?). I know it’s 100% not the story the writers were trying to tell, but I really feel like the most logical in-story explanation for Dan’s actions/sudden personality change in season six was as a response to trauma. (And I also think there’s a meta to be written about how Serena in 5x24 basically did to Dan what Georgina had done to her pre-season 1 [minus the dead guy obviously lol] which was like, one of if not the biggest traumas she ever experienced, but those thoughts are still percolating.)
I don’t know if NY had revenge porn laws in 2012, but yeah that’s exactly what it was. And I think what Serena did was a combo of what Georgina did to her (filming her without her knowledge with Pete Fairman), what Chuck did to Serena in the pilot (getting her drunk and isolating her), and of course, Serena’s original Nate crime (the bar at the Campbell Apartment).
I mean yeah, what you’re saying makes a lot of sense, although Dan was dealing with more than just the trauma of what Serena did to him. There’s the trauma of the way Blair left him, there’s the trauma of Nate seeming to not care that he’s hurting, there’s the trauma of his dad and Ivy when he gets back. There’s all the stuff that other anon had listed about what Dan had been through since losing Milo and Jenny and Vanessa. Like for Dan to turn to Georgina after everything she had put him through? Man clearly felt like he had no one left. And it’s really quite sad. But yeah, I agree. s6 evil!Dan really isn’t that evil at all. He’s just a hurt man thinking seeking revenge will fix him.

what do you think the show would be like if instead of sleeping with nate serena slept with blair and ran away?
Hmm, I think why I've been hung up on this for so long is because I'm not so sure Serena would run away?
Serena's actions after sleeping with Nate, running off to meet Georgina, getting fucked up, being vulnerable enough to be manipulated into the whole Pete Fairman debacle, were all out of guilt towards hurting Blair.
And to be really frank, I'm not sure she'd feel the same level of guilt if she slept with Blair instead of Nate. Like to her, Nate BELONGS to Blair but I don't think she thinks Blair BELONGS to Nate in the same way, you know? And I think she knows deep down that it wouldn't be the same level of betrayal to Nate that it was to Blair. Serena and Nate don't have the jealousy issues that Blair and Serena have, it's more than implied that Nate had a crush on Serena long before they slept together. I just don't think it would be the same to Serena.
That being said, I think both Blair and Serena would've been in a bit of denial over what this would mean for both their dynamic and their individual sexualities. Blair, god bless her, is gonna be locked in that closet for a long long time, she would probably pretend it never even happened the next day and stay with Nate. Serena I think would be the piner and fall into more of Nate's role.
And that I think would cause a similar change that leads to the more thoughtful, world-weary Serena we meet in the pilot. Does Serena fully stop being Queen Bee and allow Blair to take her place, I'm not so sure, but I do think a change in her partying behavior would slowly start to occur.
(Also, I know I always joke about Dan and Blair being girlfriend twins but like...imagine Serena dating Dan because he's sort of a male version of Blair. I love that mess.)
So I think the show would still be similar, just...gayer lol. And less Chuck, because the love triangle for Blair is now her, Nate, and Serena. Serena is the one who represents freedom from the strict puritanical ideals she was brought up on, not Chuck. Which just...ugh, can you imagine? Blair's central conflict being about whether or not to embrace her queerness instead of whatever the fuck the Chair arc was. Better timeline.

i love all ur greek myth/gg crossover plz keep them going!
Aw, thank you! In your honor:
I have this thought about, like, Iphigenia
Because Iphigenia’s story is monsters all the way down, a goddess who asks for her and a father who sacrifices her and an army of men who push him into doing it (and Achilles, for once, not a monster) (and her mother, who becomes a monster in her grief)
Iphigenia is the dead girl, and it’s her death that starts everything. Except she’s alive—just taken, just a lie, and her brother is brought to her and they bring each other home
And I think about Serena, and leaving, and how Serena’s leaving is the cardinal sin of this show and yet it isn’t a truth—she slept with Nate, but really it’s that she left Blair; she slept with Nate, but really it’s that Pete Fairman is dead. She’s gone, but she’s here again. Her brother brings her home
And I think about how Serena’s story is monsters all the way down—her mother not a mother enough, her father not a father at all, Georgina—except how it isn’t
There’s this thing, about the girl dying for someone else and breaking everything before she gets to have anything resembling control. I don’t think Serena would see it

aight aight, real shit; let's say you got the chance to rewrite the entirety of gossip girl exactly how you want. make a brief description of what would happen in each season. (you can decide whether there's a fourth season or not)
oh i LOVE this ask, and i am so flattered to be asked this, haha. i have SO many thoughts, i’ve been thinking about this non-stop, but i’ll try to be as brief as possible. also, disclaimer, i don’t remember all the seasons equally clearly. like i barely remember s2. haha, whoops.
season 1: i love this season as is, for the most part. i think the tone of it was actually very serious and involved? like the show was actively trying not to be frivolous with heavy topics, and the way we were getting to see the characters seemed like they were trying to bring out character depth and the complexities of their lives in very deliberate ways. nate’s whole thing with his parents gets so much focus, and it’s not something the show glorifies, it’s something that is meant to make you uncomfortable and worried for him. 
i would have nate be less of a dudebro, jenny & nate’s friendship being a little more solid, dan being a little more involved in jenny’s problems + helping her find her space, vanessa/nate to happen earlier - after nate breaks up w/ blair and realises she looks happier, i would have him not try and get back with her (lol, dude, the fact that she’s happy after breaking up with you means you probably shouldn’t be dating her.) more exploration of eric’s mental health. more dan and blair friendship. i would keep chair the way it is this season. i would not have a derena breakup - i’d have them take a break after the georgina reveal and get back together during the summer after talking about it and deciding to be more honest & open with each other. and, what the hell, i would have lily not blame serena (???) for being taken advantage of in the whole pete fairman situation. serena wasn’t sober, she was 16, that dude was in his 30s, georgina was taping her w/o her consent. how is any of this serena’s fault??? i hate lily’s reaction so much.
season 2: i... don’t remember enough of this season, sadly. it’s been too long since i watched it. i would majorly change jenny’s arc here, though. eleanor stealing her dress was majorly, majorly fucked up, and i think jenny should’ve done something then and there. also the whole thing with ‘lily is a mother to chuck’.... i would’ve loved it if lily had been like that to jenny. the girl needed it, and lily would’ve actually been able to help jenny establish connections in the professional world and whatnot. i think jenny should’ve transferred out of constance - not necessarily homeschooling maybe, but gone somewhere else. unlike dan, she didn’t even want to get into an ivy, she wanted to make it big as a designer. so. that. 
oh nate my love. i’d get this trainwreck of a boy some therapy. while i hate that the catherine thing happened, things like that do happen all the time, and i’d be interested in sort of handling the aftermath of it in a responsible way. i would not have... a lot of serena’s arc and decisions (from what i can remember) were really random in this season. i’d have her break up with dan at some point. and vanessa would need a new subject for her short film, and she’d choose serena.
nate doesn’t really date anyone, this season. but he and jenny open up to each other abt having gay crushes on people who treat you like shit - jenny’s thing with agnes - nate rescues her when they’re taking those pictures in her flat and let’s say she doesn’t go back to agnes. instead of kissing her, nate talks to her instead, and tells her about carter, tells her about chuck. and jenny talks about her feelings for blair, her feelings for agnes. and both of them sort of go... “it sucks, but all we can do is try not to become the kind of people we hate, right?”
dan pines for nate. majorly. massively. obviously. i think the only person who really notices is blair, and this would lead to new hijinks and shenanigans. also!! i do not want chair in s2. maybe it can go there for a bit but definitely not to the extent in canon. i want blair to have the same moment of being unable to deny her cruelty / needing to be accountable that she did in that ‘age of dissonance’ play. and. this sounds fucky but i want the dan/rachel stuff to stay as it is, and later, in s4, for dan & serena to talk about rachel & ben respectively and be like ‘hey, this was a fucked up thing to happen to us, wasn’t it?’ 
i would also like to get to know blair’s “minions” better as people. i mean. they all seemed hella fascinating to me, and the show’s decision to make them superficial and unidimensional was very depressing.
season 3: hot garbage, throw canon away. when chuck goes away to paris or wherever, let him not come back. goodbye, dude! dan, blair & vanessa friendship at nyu is so, so important to me. also im losing my mind always at how vanessa and serena catch dan on that walk of shame and they’re both like ‘college is a time for experimentation!’ and nobody does anything even slightly bisexual (unless you count that threesome later, which, blah.) a serenessa / date dynamic in college would’ve been great. dan transferring to columbia like blair does and rooming with nate and just, the gayness of it all. dan & blair become really, really close, and d&b&v watch movies + go to art exhibits together and are all SO DAMN PRETENTIOUS. serena finds it sexy, nate finds it terrifying. 
the william stuff would be interesting if he were actually held accountable. like that man has no right being a doctor, and medical malpractice needs to be brought up. and jenny’s whole arc this season makes me so sad. i think it would’ve been interesting if she’d been a ‘queen’ and ruled alongside eric, and just, the two of them forcing people to be nice, sort of like they try to do with people who are mean to nelly in s2 i think it is? but also.. jenny out of constance is very good, and i think i mentioned that earlier, haha, whoops.
season 4 : serenessa breakup, for whatever reason, probably to do with the william fuckery, because i think vanessa would react in similar ways to nate (”serena, i know he’s your dad, but we have to do the right thing” / “it still wasn’t your call to make” / “he’s a certified doctor, serena, a man like that has no right -” / “god vanessa, you really don’t get it, do you?” ). uhhh i would actually... if i had to choose i would honestly go blairnessa >>>>> dair. i love how blair & vanessa can keep each other on their toes and hold each other accountable. like? blair’s classist or racist and dan’s just like, *smiles*. vanessa would actively be like ‘hey, stop that.’ (this is one of the few actual criticisms i have about d/b as a relationship, RIP.) 
(edited to add: yeah, i think blairnessa WOULD be a sustainable relationship, more abt that here! )
yes to the milo arc, but dan gets to keep milo (his friends threaten georgina and go all ‘you made him sign the certificate. don’t make us take you to court’ because i love these morally grey assholes but also because g DID trick dan into thinking milo was his and dan was ready to reshape his whole life around that kid which is more than georgina was willing to do. plus endgame: jack/georgina are not parents i want milo to have.) i would also have more of a rufus & dan fallout over the milo thing. i think rufus would be really nasty about it all tbh.
the dair arc for blair and vanessa! let the juliet stuff happen, but let it be less awful + let it be seen as Bad + let serena get help & not forgive her for it. let serena NOT date ben after, what the hell. i want d&s to talk about their shared feelings for high school teachers and to realise, in retrospect, as adults, that what happened was crossing lines. let blair and vanessa suddenly drop dan and do the movies + galleries stuff on their own. and dan’s like ??? but he’s busy being a parent with nate supporting him. dan’s drama is very much parenting things. there would be some nonsense involving nate’s family pushing back, because ‘we stood by while you dated him, nate, we thought it was a phase. but raising a child with another man? this is unacceptable.’ i would like nate to get disowned by the family, and need to find his own feet. and to get a REAL SHOT AT HAPPINESS away from that terrible environment.
season 5: i want this to be a good serena season. let her find her calling doing creative things. let her and carter travel the world. let her just be whoever she wants to be. let her and vanessa patch their friendship up. let her have an open relationship with carter, let her have a lot of sex with a lot of random people and not feel guilty about it. let her really really blossom. i want more eric! maybe he’s in london with jenny, and she’s working on her fashion stuff, and he’s realising that he really wants to be a counsellor. 
some time-skips, maybe. i really want to see dan’s whole thing of being a parent. sending milo to kindergarten and spending the whole time milo’s gone on edge and anxious about everything that could go wrong, while nate comforts him. let nate try to get a job because he no longer has a trust fund, and navigate everything that comes with that. let vanessa be there for him. why the fuck am i phrasing my sentences like this - can you tell that i studied physics once?? oh well.
blair & vanessa handling a lot of things. vanessa meeting harold!! vanessa’s parents being disapproving of blair, but ruby standing up for her. blair & vanessa planning their future properly. blair & vanessa babysitting milo and talking about kids. 
and there can be drama too, there should always be drama. but i would like wholesome stuff at the centre of it too, you know? the ivy/lola nonsense can go on in the background, i don’t actually care that much. as long as ivy doesn’t go around fucking people’s fathers for no understandable or discernable reason, i don’t really care lkdhlfdkhg. (it was just so inexplicable and so random!)
season 6: uh, i don’t know. this was a bad season for everyone in canon, except chuck. i would throw it all away. i would actually love if we had pre-series rufly instead: every time those two bring up their past together i’m like 👀 because it sounds like a dream. or focus entirely on jenny and eric and their life. i am obsessed with jenny and eric being... sort of queerplatonic, sort of like, best friends. there’s no romance and no sex between them (eric’s canonically gay, and jenny’s a lesbian because i said so) but i think the way jenny and eric are is very, very life partners in a way that isn’t romantic OR sexual. so they’d have a little place together and would support each other. and just. what are they up to now? also. kati, iz, penelope, hazel, nelly... what r they doing now? one of the few things i actually liked about s6 as it was was that nelly was that reporter and that she’d found her people in yale. nelly yuki getting a happy and fulfilling ending and being a successful woman was so good and we actually got a little bit of that. i’d like more of that, for the rest of the girls, you know?
