When Dan was upset with Nate for kissing Jenny, I think it was heartbreaking for Nate. He didn't see that coming from Dan. Love how Chuck is who he settles with lmao 😂 😂 😂.
ohhhh that confrontation BREAKS my heart too! I'll be honest, anon, I fast forward past it because it hurts me so.
I'm going to talk a bit about Catherine, so I am putting this under a cut so anyone who wants to scroll past can
it is such a gut punch, because Dan is the friend who sought Nate out and persisted in helping him after he initially refused it. Like remember the beginning of s2 when Chuck hears about his family's problems and just says "I'll fix it" but when Nate gets defensive Chuck is like "FiNe I dOn'T LoVe yOu EiThEr!" and then later Nate does the same thing with Dan, but the difference is Dan has a grown up that teaches him compassion. anyways that's just a parallel writing this response made me realize and now I want to scream into a pillow.
but really, to Nate, Dan is the generous guy, the kind one, the one who took him in and didn't care about all this moneyed bullshit (and Dan can't offer financial help but he offers Nate a home!!! brb screaming) and Nate thought 1) that he was safe with Dan and 2) that Dan didn't know the full extent of what went down with Catherine, but then Dan throws that knowledge back in his face as if it's proof that Nate isn't good enough to have a home with the Humphreys anymore (it isn't Natie! you are not the problem!!!)
and though I am a certified blorbo apologist, Dan was in the wrong here, and it hurts my heart. I like to make light of it by saying that he was just mad Nate kissed Jenny instead of him, but in all seriousness, that was a shitty thing he did to Nate, and it sucked.
and maybe with that, we have a canonical explanation of why Nate puts up with Chuck's awfulness. because whatever Nate has done while being backed into a corner, he knows Chuck won't hold it against him, or throw it back in his face. and, honestly, Nate knows Chuck's done worse. I don't think Nate is that conscious of it, but there's a safety in that moral superiority for him. That line delivered by Eric in s1: "Guy may have his faults, but he's never judged me."
But, sidenote: this is also indicative of Chuck's horrific double standards and misogyny because when Blair transgresses, he has no trouble holding it over her head for as long as he finds it entertaining.

Thinking about it some more and the way the scenes after Lily accepts Bart’s proposal feel like something out of a horror movie, Serena realizing that she sold her family’s soul to the devil (and then the way this is immediately contrasted with the warmth and comfort of the Humphrey loft too)…yeah

Penn has natural sex appeal. It just made it harder to believe Blair would leave her hot smart boyfriend for Chip Whiskers. What does he have to offer? He’s not even easy on the eyes. I know they have a shared history and she just went back to the familiar but still Dan ticked all the boxes she wanted in a guy, he even achieved a higher social status after Inside came out. They had intellectual and sexual compatibility. The writers broke up Dair because they decided Chair was ~meant to be, but does it make sense in a real life sense?
Of course it doesn’t make sense! it’s a nonsense show! Everything after the Real series finale (5x21) was pure nonsense!
That’s why we say season 6 is fake.
I think it was on Nads’ blog recently that she said every woman lead (Jenny excluded) spent a significant amount of time Yearning after Dan so…we all know who the real romantic lead of the show is mmmkay
