I can't help but think about the tragedy of blairena as of lately. Both women want to be individuals so badly and they want to be each other's best friends forever and ever, yet they never give each other the proper space to do that. Serena, as I mentioned earlier today, builds herself in the image of the people she loves to make sure that they won't leave her because if she has learned one thing from the UES is that everybody just views other's as an extention of themselves. So if Serena is this golden sunflower of a person, who is kind to everybody and is good with adults and can brighten up the room with just her smile, then there is no reason for anyone to leave her. because who could ever leave that??

It's almost like Serena had repressed so much of her negative traits for so long that by season three or four it just was.... inevitable, maybe? that the audience would turn on her. Because she is the opposite of Blair. Whereas Blair is cold and cruel to anyone she doesn't find worthy, but becomes kinder and softer the more you know her, Serena is the reverse. It's not that Serena is a bad person, but she has just repressed herself for so long just to make sure that others will see her as "relevant." Blair doesn't cower when she is insulted, she absorbs that power and responds in kind. Blair doesn't care what "lower society" thinks of her because she knows who the important people are in her life l, and she isn't afraid to cut them out if needed.

But I digress. These two have known each other for so long, they were each other's True First Love, and as they got older, they still had the mentality of children, one petty fight after the other, just to make up with a simple I'm sorry. They were the heart of the show, but the writers never gave them time to be anything outside of their relationships with each other and boys. They tried to grow and become independent (Blair in s4, Serena in s5), but they always let their emotional immaturity be their downfall.
