I'm back on my Lily bs, especially with my headcanons

Ttpd is so Lily, Blair, and Jenny coded (some Serena but I feel like she's Evernights in a way I can't explain)

Here is my list from The Anthology

Fortnight- it's Dair, I have literally nothing else to say

The Tortured Poets Department- this is either post breakup derena or maybe dair

My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys: controversial take: this isn't 🪑. The vibes are wrong, it's Lily and William during their marriage (if you've read my fics you know what I mean by that. I have many feelings about them.)

Down Bad: Rufly??? Dair??? Serenate vibes??? 🪑???? Jagnes??? Who knows? It fits them all so well

So Long, London: it's 🪑. That's it. She tried so hard to hold on but he kept drifting away.

"You say I abandoned the ship, but I was going down with it, my white knuckle dying grip holding onto your quiet resentment. And my friends say it isn't right to be scared, everyday of a live affair, every breath feels like rarest air, and you're not sure if he wants to be there"

"You sacrificed us to the gods of your bluest days"

"you swore that you loved me, but where were the clues? I died on the alter waiting for the proof"

But Daddy I Love Him: Rufly, pure and simple.

"I'm running with my dress unbuttoned, screaming but Daddy I love him"

"I'll tell you something right now, I'd rather burn my whole life down than listen to I've more second of all this bitching and moaning"

"I'll tell you something about my good name, it's mine alone to disgrace"

"there's a lot of people in town that I bestow upon my fastest smile, scandal does funny things to pride but brings Lovers closer"

"now I'm dancing in my dress in the sun... I'm his lady, and oh my God you should see your faces. Time, doesn't it give some perspective? And no, you can't come to the wedding."

Fresh Out The Slammer: the 🪑 and Louis to Dair pipeline. She knows who her first call will be to. And so do we.

Florida: I saw someone say this song is Ivy and Lola, and yeah, that's them if they had a decent storyline. Also, Jagnes. Jenny and Lily. Serena. Blair would never go near Florida outside of spring break.

Guilty As Sin?: I saw an edit of Rufly to this song and now all I can think of when I listen to it is them is season 1 (pre hook up) and season 2 (pre relationship). Lily and Serena's talk in season 1, the Thanksgiving episodes, the winter dance episode, the whole PI bs, everything with Allison tbh

"what if he's written "mine" on my upper thigh, only in my mind"

"without ever touching his skin, how can I be guilty as sin?"

Who's Afraid Of Little Old Me?: It's Jenny.

"I am what I am cuz you trained me"

"you caged me then called me crazy" "I'm always drunk on my own tears, isn't that what they all said?"

"I was tame, I was gentle til the circus life made me mean, don't you worry folks, we took out all her teeth"

"I leap from the gallows and I levitate down your street, crash your party like a record scratch as I shriek "who's afraid of little old me?" You should be"

"At all costs keep your good name" "Is it a wonder I broke? Let's hear one more joke"

I Can Fix Him (No Really I Can): 🪑

"the smoke cloud billowed out his mouth like a freight train through a small town. The jokes he told across the bar were revolting and far too loud."

"Your good Lord doesn't need to lift a finger, I can fix him. No, really, I can. And only I can."

Loml: Season 1 and 2 Derena

I Can Do It With A Broken Heart: Lily, Jenny, Blair, and a hint of Serena.

"All the pieces of me shattered as the crowd was chanting "more". I was grinning like I'm winning, I was hitting my marks, cuz I can do it with a broken heart."

"Cuz I'm a real tough kid, I can handle my shit. They said "babe, you gotta fake it til you make" and I did."

The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived: Lily and William. I'm obsessed with them and the psychological ramifications his existence alone has on her, your honor. Like, I hate him, I hate them, but I'm fascinated by how horrible their relationship is. Also, Eric and William to a degree. Serena never seems to reach this point.

"Was any of it true? Gazing at me starry-eyed in your Jehovah's Witness suit. Who the fuck was that guy?"

"And I don't even want you back, I just want to know, if rusting my sparkling summer was the goal"

"you hung me on your wall, stabbed me with your push pins. In public, showed me off"

"you didn't measure up, in any measure of a man"

"And you'll confess why you did it, and I'll say "good riddance," cause it wasn't sexy once it wasn't forbidden. I would've died for your sins, instead I just died inside. And you deserve prison but you won't get time"

"You kicked out the stage lights but your still performing"

"and in plain sight you hid, but you are what you did. And I'll forget you but I'll never forgive"

The Alchemy: Lily and Blair in gen tbh, but specifically with Rufus and Dan.

"cuz the sign on your heart says it still belongs to me"

"he jokes that it's heroin but this time with an 'e'"

"what if I told you I'm back? The hospital was a drag, worst sleep that I ever had, I circled you on a map. I haven't come around in so long, but I'm coming back so strong/to where I belong"

"so when I touch down, call the amateurs and cut 'em from the team. Ditch the clowns, take the crown, cause I'm the one to beat."

Clara Bow: it's the Cece (Clara) to Lily (Stevie) to Blair (Taylor) to Jenny (the new gen) pipeline for me. I can't explain how Cece fits, but she does. (Serena being told all the fresh air bs her entire life can be applied here as well)

"This town is fake, but you're the real thing. Breath of fresh air through the smoke rings. Take the glory, give everything. Promise to be dazzling"

"You look like Clara Bow in this light, remarkable. All your life did you know? You'd be picked like a rose."

"You look like Stevie Nicks in '75, the hair and lips. The crowd goes wild at her fingertips, half moonshine, a full eclipse."

"You look like Taylor Swift in this light, we're loving it. You've got edge she never did, the future's bright. Dazzling"

"the crown is stained, but you're the real queen, flesh and blood amongst war machines. You're the new god we're worshipping. Promise to be... Dazzling"

"Beauty is a beast that roars, down on all fours demanding "more." Only when your girlish glow flickers just so do they let you know, it's hell on earth to be heavenly. Them's the breaks, they don't come gently."

The Black Dog: Lily and William

"and so I watch as you walk into some bar called The Black Dog and pierce new holes in my heart"

"And it hits me, I just don't understand, how you don't miss me. In The Black Dog, when someone plays The Starting Line and you jump up, but she's too young to know this song that was intertwined with the magic fabric of our dreaming. Old habits die screaming."

"And I may never open up the way I did for you. And those best laid plans. You said I needed a brave man and proceeded to play him until I believed it too."

"now I want to sell my house and set fire to all my clothes. And hire a priest to exorcize my demons, even if I die screaming"

"Six weeks of breathing clean air, I still miss the smoke"

"I hope it's shitty, in The Black Dog"

imgonnagetyouback: Lily and William and 🪑, Serena during her one-sided pining for Dan era.

"even if it's handcuffed I'm leaving here with you"

The Albatross: help, it's so Lily coded I can't

"Wise men once said, "Wild winds are death to the messenger," a rose by any other name is a scandal. Cautions issued, he stood shooting the messengers. They tried warning him about her."

"wise men once said "one bad seed kills the garden" "one less temptress, one less dagger to sharpen". Locked me up in towers, but I'd still visit in your dreams, and they tried to warn you about me."

"devils that you know, raise worse hell than a stranger. She's the death you chose, you're in terrible danger."

"cross your thoughtless heart, only liquor anoints you. She's the Albatross, she is here to destroy you"

Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus: Serenate or platonic Eric and Jenny works too

"if you want to break my cold, cold heart, just say "I loved you, the way that you were"

"I changed into goddesses, villains and fools, changed plans and lovers and outfits and rules all to outrun my desertion of you and you just watched it."

"could it be enough to just float in your orbit?can we watch our phantoms like watching wild horses? Cooler in theory but not if you force it to be, it just didn't happen"

How Did It End?: Blair and Louis, more specifically Blair after the accident

"guess who we ran into at the shop, walking in circles like she was lost"

So High School: Rufly and Eleanor x Cyrus, I will not accept criticism

"I feel so high school when I look at you, cuz look at you"

"and in the blink of a crinkling eye, I'm sinking, our fingers entwined. Cheeks pink in the twinkling lights, tell me 'bout the the first time you saw me. I'll drink what you think, and I'm high from smoking your jokes all damn night, the brink of a wrinkle in time."

I Hate It Here: Lily and Jenny, they chose this life, regardless of how that choice was made, and it made them feel worthless. They both need to escape, they disappear into their different vices to help them cope.

"tell me all your secrets, all you'll ever be is my eternal consolation prize"

"if comfort is a construct, I don't believe in good luck, now I know what's what. I hate it here so I will go to secret gardens in my mind, people need a key to get to, the only one is mine"

"I will go to lunar valleys in my mind, when they find a better planet only the gentil survived. I dreamt about it in the dark, the night I felt like I might die"

"I'm lonely, but I'm good. I'm bitter, but I swear I'm fine. I'm save all my romanticism for my inner life, and I'll get lost in purpose. This place made me feel worthless."

thanK you aIMee: Jenny and Blair in high school

"all that time you were throwing punches, I was building something. And I can't forgive the way you made me feel. Screamed "fuck you, Aimee" to the night sky as the blood was gushing. But I can't forget the way you made me heal."

"I built a legacy you can't undo, but when I count the scars there's a moment of truth. That there wouldn't be this, if there wasn't you."

I Look In People's Windows: it's Bart era rufly

"what if your eyes looked up and meet mine one last time"

The Prophecy: Jenny and Blair

Cassandra: I cannot explain it but this is Lily

Peter: Carter and Serena?????? Is that you???? She's Peter

"are you still a mind reader? A natural scene stealer? I've heard great things Peter"

"the goddess of timing, once found us beguiling, Peter was she lying? My ribs say she did"

"lost in the lost boys chapter of your life"

The Bolter: Oh look, new Lily song just dropped. And Serena. To quote @strideofpride it always comes back to mothers and daughters

"with a quite bewitching face. Splendidly selfish, charmingly helpless, excellent fun til you get to know her."

"then she runs like it's a race, behind her back her best mates laughed and they nicknamed her "the Bolter""

"she's been many places with men of many faces, first their off to the races and she's laughing drawing aces but none of it is changing that the chariot is waiting. Hearts are hers for the breaking, there's escape in escaping."

"all her fucking lives flashed before her eyes, it feels like the time she fell through the ice, then came out alive"

"and at first blush this is fate. When it's all roses, portrait poses, central park lake row boats... That's when she sees the littlest leaks and just knows, she must bolt."

"ended with the slam of a door, then he'll call her a whore, wish he wouldn't be sore but if she was leaving it felt like breathing."

Robin: Eric, this is legit Lily and Serena when literally anything involves Eric

I can't even draw up lines, it's the whole song

The Manuscript: any relationship involving Blair

"all that's left is the manuscript, one last souvenir from my trip to your shores. Now and then I reread the manuscript, but the story isn't mine anymore."

you’re on your own kid and anti-hero and nothing new…. literally the jenny humphrey anthems. im love her 😭😭😭

ABSOLUTELY YES

jenny starts off the series knowing her worth, to an extent, she knows and understands that she’s a little talented, she has big dreams, she wants to make it in the ues, she outsmarts the best of the best (blair) a few times, she thinks she can do it, it backfires in her face. you’re on your own kid. her dreams aren’t rare, she learns her talent isn’t enough and her hard work is worth nothing. you’re on your own kid. she finds a friend and a shoulder to cry on in nate, she falls in love with him a little, she loses him to blair, to vanessa, to serena, and it’s okay because they’re the best of friends. she finds a friend in serena, in agnes, in eric, in damien, even in chuck (gg writers don’t piss me off seriously), and she loses them all. you’re on your own kid, you always have been.

anti-hero, i mean what is there to say. it’s season 4 jenny. im older now, im trying to be more mature, be better, learn from my mistakes. she doesn’t. the one thing with her is she self-sabotages. she doesn’t really mean to, she kinda just does. she’s screaming for help, but she’s pushing people away. nobody loves her, they’re all going to leave anyway, like alison, rufus, like eric, they’ll all turn their backs on her, they already have. nobody loves you, jenny humphrey. and she’s the problem, she has to be.

nothing new is… nothing new is jenny humphrey burnt out, it’s jenny tired of constantly trying so hard, it’s jenny who’s sick of being thrown away when she’s not needed anymore. it’s jenny when she’s much older, it’s jenny who has tried and worked so hard for her entire life, and she’s got everything she wants, but how long will she have it? how long before they move on to the next new thing? how long before they decide she’s not enough, again?

so yeah, absolutely perfect for jenny. I’ve found a lot of taylor’s more introspective stuff to be very jenny, especially alot of the tracks on midnights.

#gg meta #jenny humphrey #anon #gossip girl #jenny just means a lot to me #also might i propose #question as a jenate song #DID YOU EVER HAVE SOMEONE KISS YOU IN A CROWDED ROOM #and midnight rain!!!#also this is me trying is a jenny song #and mirrorball is dan #nat rambles

rufus’s insistence on keeping jenny at constance did her so much actual harm. it’s not like there aren’t tons of really good high schools in nyc - both private and public - so why are you so set on keeping her in an environment where she’s being ruthlessly bullied?? on that note, i always thought it’d be nice if she got to transfer to an arts high school - like laguardia high or saint ann’s school (that one’s actually in brooklyn)!! i think she’d thrive in that kind of environment!

agreed on both counts!!! jenny in arts high school would've been so good. it was very weird how rufus acted like jenny's 3 options were either constance, homeschooling (he wasn't going to agree to that until lily complimented jenny's talent, 2x07. what a shallow man and shitty father), or going to alison's. like. hello???

it was just very weird how the show - where jenny was concerned, anyway - had this very 'if you're being bullied just suck it up and deal' kind of view, but more than that, deeper than that, it just... viewed her problems as totally insignificant? i'm watching bits of s3 so that i can gif hilary duff (that's my agenda) and the jenny bits are too painful to watch, she's so obviously barely keeping it together - and this is before things really start spinning out of control/before she starts spiralling. jenny got a shitty arc in ALL 3 seasons and every single time she was knocked down a peg for narrative purposes and i just. idk. i am very annoyed & frustrated & upset. protect her!!!!

I think I never felt as sad as I’m doing now for Dan

Dan Humphrey is literally my Gossip Girl male crush since the first episode and now that I just finished 5x04, I think I can say I never felt as sad for him as I’m doing now. And the way the writers wrote this episode to make him end all alone reminds me of what is going to happen when he’ll be revealed to be Gossip Girl (it makes so less sense. Like in 5x03 he’s LITERALLY alerting Chuck (I promised myself I wouldn’t write about him but in this episode ALAS, he was actually essential) on the fact that Gossip Girl spy all of his moves and that he doesn’t want him to end up on the site.)

What makes me sad here is that we realize that deep down, Dan has no friends who will put him first like Serena and Blair can do for each other despite the toxicity of their relationship. Dan can finally enjoy a bit of success and light that isn't due to the fact that he dated Serena. He was afraid of being abandoned by his friends because of a satirical book. And as incredible as it may seem, Chuck Bass is the only one who understands the meaning of this word. Dan NEVER said that this book was an autobiography, it was even an "inspired" novel of his life, as he kept saying. And instead of having the support he should have from his closest friends, he reaps an anger that he had seen coming in the book and that he had written in the hope that it would allow them to understand that he had no bad intentions. And since each of them is selfish and self-centered, all of them have made the choice to focus on "their" character and not read the book in full. I suspect that this will change in the next episodes but here, Dan was there, desperately seeking the support of his loved ones and receiving none.

And can we talk for two minutes about the toxicity of Rufus' words? This is not the first time he has ripped out the heart of one of his children with the worst words they could hear. What could be more horrible for a child than to hear that his father is ashamed of him? And Dan and Jenny can confirm that nothing is harder to hear. But I think it's worth another post. Here I focus on Dan and the 5x04 because I'm not quite done.

In this episode I think the attitude that disappoints me the most is Nate's. Nate didn't even pretend to be interested in the novel. And for good reason, it is not in his interests. Dan only repeated throughout the novel that all this was not necessarily true to reality and everyone seemed ready to accept it. Nate had no problem with a character inspired by him being gay. On the other hand, while he does not even know what the novel is about, as soon as he learns that he is not "alone" to have inspired his character since he shares that of Eric. And then, instead of doing what any BEST friend would do, which is read the book or call Dan to ask him if he should see a problem with it, he calls Dan to call him a false friend. What makes no sense is that Nate does NOT know what he is talking about since he has NOT read the book. It leaves me quite speechless that we could have made everyone's best friend act like this. Especially when that day was so important to Dan.

For Blair, let's say that with her pregnancy we can possibly understand her mood swings but she is supposed to share the same intellectual level as Dan and they like the same novels as a rule. I find it hard to understand that she holds Dan to account for writing false things about her relationship with him. I mean... He NEVER said that everything was true, they were the ones who imagined it. Except that Blair's reaction is probably the hardest for him to hear. Of course, as blind as she is, she doesn't see how much he is in love with her. But I still have Dan's lost and confused look in mind when she tells him that their friendship is over for good. She broke his heart when it was not necessary at all. After... it's Blair but after everything he did for her in the previous episode and... actually since they are friends, it's terribly unfair to throw a sentence like this at him. Not to mention how she keeps reminding him that he's far off her priority list. In fact, I think the biggest problem with this story lies there. This book showed how far Dan was on everyone's list of priorities. So far away, that the idea that he can be successful without having been perfect in the image they had of themselves makes them cruel.

Serena probably has the most reason to be hurt I guess. She was the one who had the worst portrait after all. But it's also based on facts and the way she seems to think he has to see her the way she wants him to see her is very toxic. Of course I can understand her pain by reading this especially since Serena and self-mockery are not great friends. But the acts she had in the episode are only a reflection of what he was describing. The Serena of the book exist as much as the amazing Serena, always there for her friends, that she wanted to see. Except that instead of accepting her bad sides, she blamed Dan for them. So I wouldn't dwell on her reaction because on the one hand I conceive and understand it perfectly. But on the other hand, she acted in the most selfish way I would say. Because she is the one who knew the most what writing and a publication meant to Dan and she still ruined this event. As for Lily's transparency, let's not talk about it. The writers never wrote a relationship between Dan and her so I can conceive of it.

As for Rufus' attitude, it makes me very uncomfortable because in addition to reacting like a child when he is an adult and an artist who is supposed to differentiate between reality and fiction, he sees his son suffer, he sees him drown in a universe he doesn’t know and lose all his friends and what does he do? He pushes his head under water. Rufus is presented as an incredible father but here, he voluntarily chooses to smear Dan's evening by specifying

last night it was the launch of your career so I didn't want to say anything but...

a phrase that is enough to destroy what was supposed to be a beautiful memory for his son. And Rufus knows it.

Which brings me to the worst part of this little essay. Chuck Bass. The fact that this character that I hate with all my heart (except with Vanessa and Eva and his dog) is the only one who has been mature enough to support Dan (in a way he did not be too cruel he at least has this merit) because he knew how to distinguish fiction and reality makes it all the more difficult to see this episode which once again shows all the sides of the Upper East Side.

So I think I'm going to go to bed because this episode really put me in all my states. Dan Humphrey deserved better.

Okay and meta-wise re: your latest fic & comments I would love to hear more about your thoughts on the humphrey siblings and their artistic ambitions vs their parents’ artistic successes.

It made me think of Amy March saying “I want to be great, or nothing.” which feels like such a Jenny-ism, but it’s Dan too!!!

Okay for reference, here's the fic.

And the comment:

And also...idk something I've never really seen talked about is how Rufus and Alison both didn't quite get to live out their artistic dreams and goals to their fullest extents/in the ways they wanted to. And what kind of effect that would have on Dan and Jenny as they embark on their own artistic dreams. Idk I think you could explain a lot of Dan and Jenny's behavior in regards to writing and fashion in that they are trying so, so hard to be more successful than their parents because they've seen what a life without fulfilling your artistic dreams already looks like. Idk...something I would love to think about some more.

So like...I didn't grow up in an artistic family. But as someone who does have artistic dreams and goals, it's kind of a bummer to look around and see all these nepotism babies get in through their last name and knowing I'll never have it that easy. So I can only imagine it would be even harder to have grown up in an artistic family where neither of your parents were really successful even though they had both wished to be and have that metaphorical albatross hanging around your neck as you embark on your own artistic pursuits. Not that Rufus and Alison were quite starving artists, but Dan and Jenny know firsthand what it's like to grow up with unfilled passions. They know what that looks like very well. And that's got to be scary as hell for the both of them.

Knowing that it would be so much easier for them to make it if their parents had been successful first, knowing that they're going to have work twice as hard as the rest of their classmates despite being more talented than them, I think is something that was definitely fueling Dan and Jenny and their relentless pursuit of their passions. Like I love, love Jenny's arc in 208-210, I think it's so heartbreaking but great storytelling, and it really pains me to see people shitting on Jenny in those episodes like??? She knew this was a big moment for her, she knew she was on the path to success, she had given up pretty much everything and severed ties to everyone she cared about to get there, only for her one mistake to have been too trusting of Agnes??? Like, it's real to life, but also, Jenny didn't do anything to deserve her dresses being burned like that which makes it all so much worse? Idk it's so tragic and it doesn't make me feel better that Jenny ends up working in the fashion world under the girl who relentlessly bullied her, sorry.

And with Dan, man. It's really depressing that all of the characters end up like their parents in the end, but Dan to me is maybe one of the more depressing ones (but we can argue back and forth about that for hours lol). Cause he might not have tried as hard as Serena and Nate did to get away from his parent's influence, but he was certainly the most genre savvy and yet...could not help repeating his father's mistakes over and over again. Did he ever have another novel success after Inside or was he just a one hit wonder like his father is a thought that haunts me.

And yes! That Amy quote is soooo both of them, wow.

I'm writing a gossip girl overhaul from pilot onward that I'm planning to turn into a book (meaning I've changed interests, physical features, and some personality traits).

We've got Chuck being held accountable for his actions and acknowledging how toxic his relationship with Blair is.

Jenny getting the life she deserved while still using unhealthy coping mechanisms to try and process this trauma

More Lily and Jenny bonding

Van Der Humphrey dynamics get examined more as they're the central focus

Main couple rufly

Multi book Dair slow burn

Exploring Lily's trauma

Trans masc Eric

Lesbian Jenny

A critique of class and privilege

Blair gets a whole analysis bc she is almost as fascinating to me as Lily (Lily only wins bc she's been at this longer)

They go to therapy and stay there

Serena actually gets to find a direction in life (it's traveling, she's gonna end up realizing that traveling and media are things she can see herself spending her life doing)

Bisexual Lily and Eleanor

Modified Lily and Rufus background partially because the show timeline makes no sense

Jewish Humphreys

Kind of explored Date

Any of y'all interested in reading this? If so should I write a version with the actual characters to post on AO3 and ff.net or would you like to see the actual product?

Yeah for the most part Dan treated Blair better but he's generally a jerk and also did bad things to her, like I remember when he let Blair come in his apartment in her lingerie without warning her that Rufus and Lily (I think) were in there. Not to mention all the Gossip Girl stuff he put everyone through

It never made sense that he was Gossip Girl. Dan being Gossip Girl came up from the writers at the last minute, and even then it didn’t make any sense because the Gossip Girl voiceover was a female voice, NOT a male voice. The last 2 episodes of Season 5, and all of the Season 6 was such a trainwreck disaster. Savage and Schwartz had to come up with a plan that would make Dan worse than Chuck because they’ve felt threatened by Safran’s writing because he writes the show better than they do. Dan&Serena addressed in Season 2 that the world doesn’t want them to be a couple since all of the odds were against them being together romantically. They have a sibling they share for crying out loud. Rufus&Lily have a stronger history and bond than Dan&Serena. Plus Dan has better chemistry with Rachel Carr, Olivia Burke, Georgina, and Vanessa than he does with Serena. And I don’t even ship Dan with Georgina or Vanessa. Chuck&Blair have a very problematic relationship since Blair’s the victim most of the time, and he acts like his manpain and ego are much more important than the trauma he put Blair through. He made her feel worse about herself than Dan ever did. Blair has wanted a pure and simple love ever since The Unblairable Lightness of Being.

As for the lingerie scene, he did warn her about his parents and William being there. You could tell by his expression that he wasn’t expecting her to come to his house in lingerie.

Yes, Dan can be a jerk at times like choosing a skewed forbidden love relationship with Serena over a lifelong friendship with Vanessa, but Chuck is still worse. In reality the Chuck&Blair relationship would be frowned upon like the Dan&Serena relationship. Also that kind of writing wouldn’t fly in this day and age. In reality, a woman like Blair would have dumped Chuck’s ass. In real life a guy like Chuck would be in jail. He had attempted to rape Serena, Jenny, and Blair. He took one of his victim’s virginity on the night he was going to meet Blair on top of The Empire. I think it is very selfish and disgusting that Chuck expects Blair to forgive him right away. I would have never took him back if he did the shit he did to Blair to me. I wouldn’t allow a man to walk all over me like the way Blair did. I would have never banish one of his victims from the city just because I know he clearly took advantage of her. Blair ends up being on that list of victims in Season 5. I don’t care if he spends money to try to earn her forgiveness because he was being manipulative that way.

Dan can’t be in multiple places at the same time. He isn’t Superman. Him being Gossip Girl the whole time is the show’s biggest plothole.
