Chuck and Blair are one of those iconic couples,
the type that will stand the test of time and be remembered
long after they’ve left the television airwaves. Like Rhett and Scarlett,
Ross and Rachel, Luke and Laura, and countless other timeless couples,
they have staying power. Even if they aren’t always together, it’s common
knowledge that they will find their way back to each other in the end.
Their passion will keep them fighting, both against and for each other.
Their differences will keep their lives interesting. Their similarities will
ensure that they will always relate to what the other is going through.
Their intelligence will keep them on top of the game and ensure that
they don’t go down without a fight. Their blazing chemistry will keep them
coming back to each other for more, unable to resist the magnetic pull that they
have toward each other. They believe in each other, understand each other,
and know each other better than anyone else can. They’ve always been there
for each other and will never fail to be in the future.
Unlike a planned, arranged, relationship, theirs is unpredictable in all ways
except one:
that they belong together and always will.
"In the name of true love you don't just give up
even if the object of your affection is begging you to..."
"Chuck Bass, I love you
so much it consumes me..."
"The next time you forget you're Blair Waldorf, remember I'm Chuck Bass. And I love you"

Because she's actually been wondering why he's been so quiet.
Because she has expected him to come back to her again, and he didn't.
Because she misses being Chuck's object of affection.
Because Chuck is number one in her call list.
Because not talking doesn't involve not texting.
Because who doubted that texting could be so hot.
Because even when he's 2000 kms away he can still make her blush.
Because she's taken him for granted, now it's her turn to feel tortured.
Because just after sleeping with her perfect man she has been looking for her defective.

Because pushing her away was the hardest thing he's ever done.

And really is it any surprise that these two are #1? Gossip Girl is the latest IT thing so is this duo. They began as confidantes and scheming partners. She was dating his best friend and they ran in the same social circles. Yet somewhere along the sniping and bantering, the feisty pair realized that there was something there between them. He tried to fight his feelings, while she pretended that she didn’t care. But in the end you just can’t fight passion, chemistry, and of course love. They might not be together right now, but everyone know that these guys are endgame and the chase and bickering is all part of the game. Besides they are Chuck and Blair – they can do what they like.
Chuck and Blair are the king and queen.
Everyone else, except Serena, is a pawn. - Josh Schwartz
"Blair and Chuck, you know, that was um, we couldn't wait to kind of bring them together and they're two of our most sort of deliciously evil characters. So the idea of them being in a relationship together, we thought would be a lot of fun. And both actors are fantastic so, it caught on really quick and people were really, really rooting for them which is good, which is fun." - Josh Schwartz
"She really embodies the tone of the show as an actress, the way she delivers the dialogue, and her character, and that relationship with Chuck. I think if you distill the show into its core essence, it would probably be that." - Josh Scwartz
"I think of Chuck and Blair as equals. It's much more Glenn Close and John Malkovich in 'Dangerous Liaisons." - Stephanie Savage

 CHUCK & BLAIR ARE NO.1 IN POTRAIT MAGAZINE 2009 BEST COUPLE
The 2008 television run would not have been the same without these six other great moments that almost made it into our year-end list: and Blair finally telling Chuck she loves him on "Gossip Girl."
 HONORABLE MENTION IN YAHOO TV’S BIGGEST MOMENTS OF 2008
Honestly, it wasn't even close. Mr. Chuck Bass and the Upper East Side's Queen B are clearly tops when it comes to heating up your screen with their particular love-hate relationship. They ended up with more than half the vote, blowing all the other competitors out of the water. The only people who could even come close were House and Cuddy of House, who ranked second, and Cristina and Owen of Grey's Anatomy, just behind them in third.
 HOTTEST ROMANTIC TENSION OF 2008
The two secret ingredients for a sizzling kiss are a broken heart and a repressed desire -- which are exactly what paved the way for Blair and Chuck to enact Gossip Girl's hottest lip action. After a big fight with Nate, Blair took the stage in Chuck's newly opened burlesque club for a striptease number, which of course stimulated Bass's libido (and produced one of his most adorable smiles ever). All it took was alone time at the backseat of a limo for these two to lock lips. And as we all know... it did not stop there.
 25 Great TV 'I Love You's
When Chuck showed up in a limo with Blair's favorite spoils from around the world in-hand at the end of season two, he won Blair's heart. He won ours, however, with three little words: ''You were right.'' Kidding. It was four words: ''I love you, too.''
 Best of 2008 - People.com
The show's creators called Meester's Blair Waldorf and Westwick's Chuck Bass the king and queen at the center of the Gossip Girl chess game. In the twisted web of the Upper East Side soap opera, Meester and Westwick are so good at being bad that fans can't get enough. And while waiting to see what dirty plan they'll hatch next, you want for Blair and Chuck to get back together just to see their chemistry in action.

“If two people are meant to be together, eventually they will find their way back.”
Chuck and Blair. Blair and Chuck. You can’t have one without the other; they’re simply better together than apart. And even when they’re not together, there’s still a connection there. Nobody else ever stands a chance. It doesn’t matter if they’re scheming together or against each other, passionately in love or at war with each other – these two have overcome so much together that we know that no matter how many games these two play with each other, the result will always be the same: Blair + Chuck = Endgame. So just because they’re apart for now, doesn’t concern fans because it’s not about the battle, but rather the war. After all, if two people are meant to be together, eventually they’ll find their way back.
Classic Shipper Moment: While we enjoy the games these two play, when they have heartfelt and honest moments, but are they raw! These two have hurt each other so many times, that it’s understandable that they might be hesitant to jump back into things. After all, there are only so many times your heart can break. But taking chances and putting themselves out there has always resulted in some pretty amazing moments for these two.

Two flawed broken kids who became one when love came their way.Blair made Chuck a better man, she taught him not only that he has a heart but also what his heart is capable of and Chuck was the first person that saw the real her, and loved her unconditionally for it. Because when they are together they are themselves. They don’t hide, they don’t pretend. They love each other with true, raw, unconditional love. And this love has made them what they are today. Nothing and No one can come between those two. After all they have been through their love is stil there as strong as ever. That’s why they deserve their happily ever after. We can never get enough of Chair! They are captivating!!
No two fictional TV lovers deserve to be cherished as much as Chuck and Blair. Their story is so far from being told. I want to see them ‘being together’ to be seen to be ‘living’ as a couple: Living, loving, laughing and all the time, having fun being their wonderful sexy soulful selves. Whoever said it would be boring does not know what they are. Chair is the epitome of the eternal love.
Why do we cherish Chair?Chuck and Blair are like two bodies and one soul...

I LOVE how they opened their true faces and vulnarabilities to each other, without even using words. I LOVE how they know and understand each other so well, it’s already there in pilot!
I LOVE how they have known each other since childhood and I LOVE how they care for their BFFs. I LOVE how they do NOT judge each other EVER too.
I LOVEhow they mean words with all their hearts and speak through each other’s hearts all the time and how this scared the hell out them when they figured out.
I LOVEhow everytime they touch and kiss, you can literally see fireworks, (not as result of visual effects) and even when they’re not communicating but in the same place you feel chemistry between them all over the place… it’s like magic!
I LOVEhow they complete each other and feel incomplete without each other (e.g. “I’m not Chuck Bass without you” and “It’s not my world without you”).
I LOVE how they love and accept the bad and good in each other.
I LOVEhow they do not want to change each other in anyway because they LOVE all of each other’s sides but change by their dynamics to be better for each other… that’s why I LOVED how they were becoming a true team just before the blood sucking mother showed up with his scaly uncle messed up all the trust.
I LOVEthe nicknames she makes out from “Chuck Bass” and I LOVE how he enjoys them and her wit (appreciates too).
I LOVE how they know what they think without even communicating (e.g. Blair was aware of Chuck’s plan to go to see Jack about BI in 4x11 and how Chuck had figured out she has been pulling out Camille in 4x18) because they are both intuitive and they know it already.
I LOVE Serena’s observation about them how “two wrongs becoming a twisted RIGHT”, I LOVE this so much.
I LOVE how they get jealous about each other. For example Chuck, still gets jealous about BN even it’s so funny (in all seasons there is a little detail about this actually).
I LOVE how Blair was there “standing by her man” all the time, how she cared about him nothing less than a family. I LOVE how she is scared FOR him when he tried to hurt himself or even when he hurt her too and I LOVE how she is the ONLY one who can talk-convince him to do anything. I LOVE how her words are the most important ones in his life, I LOVE how she is the thoughest ctiritics of him and I LOVE how passionately she loves Chuck. I LOVE how Blair’s love, passion and tender at the same time makes Chuck’s heart even bigger.
I LOVEhow Chuck was there “supporting his queen” all the time, reminding her that she is amazing, she is beautiful, she is hot and sexy, she is intelligent, she is powerful, she is the queen. Everytime she remembered her insecurities, he tried to help her and show how powerful and amazing she is. Also, I LOVE how he is the one who truely makes Blair happy and glow all the time:
Chuck makes Blair glow, shine. After they hooked up, Nate notices that Blair is “lighter, she’s happier… Ah, she’s just less Blair.” Chuck replies “She does have a certain glow about her, doesn’t she?” (1x10). So I guess this is Chuck’s merit.
Blair shines with Chuck, and he knows it because he believes in her savoir faire. “With your glow, Anne Archibald will beg you to be the face of her new foundation” (4x09).
Everyone sees Blair shining whenever she thinks about her lover. She’s about to go to Chuck to tell him she wants to get back with him, and Dorota sees she’s happy of her decision “You’re late and you’re glowing” (4x18).
Chuck loves when Blair is happy, because she shines and Chuck loves when Blair shines. It’s the Blair he loves the most. “When she’s with Louis, she shines… that’s the Blair I love.” (4x22).
Serena noticed how happy/glowing Blair was and asked her if it was her dad, Chuck or Nate. Blair was secretly with chuck that time (1x09).
I LOVE how even when they say mean things, do mean things to each other and even when they “hate” each other, fight with each other and make wars with each other, at the end they always have an open window for each other at least as friends because they know how much they LOVE each other. Actually how much they need each other. I LOVE how there is always “LOVE and lust” that pulls them to each other and how it is NATURAL and not forced at all!
I LOVE how passionately they want each other and only each other (1x07, 2x07, 3x07, 2x02, 2x03, 1x10, 4x07, 4x09, 4x08).
I LOVE how they think alike (3x21), act alike, wear alike without any intervention.
I LOVE how they compliment and encourage each other.
I LOVE how chuck is the only guy who saw and knows the real “Blair Waldorf” (1x07, 2x19).
I LOVE how Blair knows the real “Chuck Bass” (2x14, 2x01, 2x13).
I LOVE how they bring out the best in each other.
I LOVE how they don’t give up each other even when times get hard.
I LOVE how chuck has this “weird influence” on Blair.
I LOVE how Chuck knows all her dreams and aspirations, and can tell right away when she’s pretending.
I LOVE how they always see each others insecurities.
I LOVE how they will “always love” each other (4x22).
I LOVE how happy they can be with each other.
I LOVE how kinky, perverted, and sexy Blair can be around Chuck and only him (1x07, 2x07, 2x25 and more).
I LOVE how they can see right through each other.
I LOVE how Chuck sees Blair as a strong-willed/independent/powerful woman and not a ‘damsel in distress’ woman (4x22).
I LOVEhow they balance each other out (2x07).
I LOVE how Blair sees Chuck as a “strong” person and not weak (3x12).
I LOVE how there willing to do anything for each other even if it’s bad or good.
I LOVE how Blair is the only woman Chuck wants to propose to and marry.

|  · BLAIR AND CHUCK·
As once described by Ed Westwick, Chuck and Blair are a bit like fighting fire with fire. The similarities pile up at the get-go. Both have an absent parent, while one with weighty expectations remains to remind them precisely where they fail to measure up. Both can only truly claim a single friendship, one that might be more habit than anything else. Scheming. Machiavellian means. A maid: a limo. Bowties: headbands. Chuck is a study in excess; Blair, control. He’s the boy billionaire with nothing to lose, and she’s the girl aristocrat that wants it all. Twin high-maintenance machines. They understand one another, right down to their matching crooked hearts, and the resulting compliments and insults are stunning. The limoscene in 1x07 is incredible, indelible, unforgettable. It’s interesting to me that when he begins to ask how she feels about her recent break up, she says, giddily, “Relief, I feel relief,” her eyes locked on the stage, because Nate was the very first substantiation of Blair’s princes, the pretty-eyed good-hearted boy next-door, and had already been deeply spun into her story of how-things-should-go, the peacock prom dress and the wedding ring. Funny, that the first time we see her plan crumble, it makes her happy. Cue mental shoving match, a push-you push-me – he dares her, she accepts. Later: “You were amazing up there,” and the slow move across the leather seats, a first kiss, “You sure?”, and the inexorable embrace. The best Chair scenes are like this: it’s not what’s being said but what isn’t, and the physicality of their emotions, motives, the kinds of unguessable gestures that manage to be meaningful without being articulate. I can never say quite what it was, what that glance signified or this narrowing of the eyes, because they’ve arrived at a codified privacy. They know.
If I’m right, and Dan is always urging Blair to curl into the afghan, come home, take off the mask, then Chuck is ever doing the opposite. They chant their names: “You’re Chuck Bass.” “You’re Blair Waldorf.” Dan once commented that Blair was intuitive and intelligent, not merely scheming, and I’d like to hold the way that Chuck talks about Blair in counterpoint to this. Maybe the strength of the Dair story is words – they banter, and they say what’s on their respective minds, a province where Chuck and Blair sometimes truly suffer. Perhaps what makes Chuck’s love for Blair so beautiful to behold is how wordless it really is. He says her name, not adjectives, not qualities, when he needs to remind her who she is; it is up to Blair Waldorf to assign content to what ‘Blair Waldorf’ really means. Remember in 5x06, how he smiled as her minion tripped into a caterer’s arms and then scolded said minion for her indiscretion? In 4x14, when he smirks as she cuts him off to say that there’ll certainly be a stage in the Palace by that evening? When it comes to full-fledged Blair Waldorf – and by that I mean every bit of her, not just academic aspirations, not just protective instincts, but the complicated bits, the helpless schemer, the vengeful socialite, the fashionista, duck feeder, sex-gamer, princess-in-a-tower, aristocrat, mean girl mastermind – I think nobody loves her like Chuck Bass. And part of why this is so is because he’ll never say, come undone, darling – because there is no part that isn’t really her, no facsimile in her façade, there is nothing that needs to come off, there is no mask.
The Dair fandom has room to reply to this. After all, Blair states in 5x16 that Dan does love her for her, and Dan cements this with his later comment, taking her hand, saying, “It’s you, it couldn’t be awful.” Doesn’t that illustrate that Dan is enamored of the whole Blair Waldorf, too? I don’t think so, but we’ll begin to run into an undetermination of evidence, because I’m going to point to that last line as evidence exactly to the contrary. As I’ve said earlier, I think Dan has a complicated relationship with ideals, a tendency to launder out whole pieces of a person in favor of seeing some flax archetype, or beautiful possibility – something like Serena van der Woodsen smiling at him from the top of the stairs in 1x01, and not like Serena’s casual conceit when she tells him that perhaps he ought to let the operator know who she is for faster service in 2x03. ‘It’s you, it couldn’t be awful.’ Love doesn’t scrub off the rust that twenty-one years of being bona fide HBIC material will leave behind. It’s an epiphany of individuality: if you love Blair Waldorf, you behold her as no more and no less then what that is, and that means that there will be bad parts, and you will love them, but they won’t cease being bad for that love. Love is a transformative process, but you’re what is transformed – not your beloved.
Plus, I’ve always been a bit mystified about what Blair gives to Dan. For Blair, Dan represents a cottony kind of safety, a new and unknown quantity of comfort. Part of that safety comes from his white knight appeal. Part of it from the fundamental difference in their ambitions, their worlds – he can’t overtake her because he’s facing an entirely direction. Part of it is that he thinks she is a piece of herself that she’s been denying for the past twenty years – the little girl inside the magnificent monster. But what does Waldorf offer him that can’t be provided from another source? True, she’s been in desperate need of rescue for the better part of a season – well, not need. How does the Josh Ritter line go? ‘The keys to the kingdom got locked inside the king.’ Our girl seems to have forgotten her primordial cunning in the midst of playing princess — or, if not cunning, then at least that the means to her salvation lie right there, right inside her. I digress. Being needed is something that any number of damsels-in-distress might offer him. There is something lovely about her insults towards him, bordering both cross and casual, but they’re not … perceptive, in the same way that some of Dan’s are. For the majority of season five, she’s told him his hair sucks. True: not game-changing. Is it intellectual sparring that she gives him? Perhaps, but that was a hat Vanessa tried on many times; it’s nothing new. (I do hate when I see posts saying that Blair’s desire for Dan is all brain, and for Chuck … mostly just blagina. Please rewatch season 3.) If we think that a love story in part reveals what each partner is capable of offering, then I think Dair falls short due to Blair, not Dan. Chuck and Blair, in contrast, have a way of drawing out the best in each other for each other. Moments of such support and confidence in the other’s capability, weaknesses whiled away together. 3x02, crawling into bed together, rubbing arms, sleeping away a bad afternoon – it’s probably the most iconic demonstration, but early season three is littered with these sorts of scenes. Later, the brief exchange in 4x13 (probably my truly favorite scene between them) right after Chuck says, “Your plan is working.” Warm, unthinking smiles. Bone-melting admiration. And, of course, 4x08: “What do you think our count is?” “For us? A million. The world, zero.” They are genuine equals. The Chair love story presents two people whose comparable levels of damage are frequently alluded to – and it shows them bandaging one another, carrying one another, taking down the world à la Bonnie and Clyde.
And it’s that very same level of equality that makes their romance so impossibly dangerous to accept in the same supine way that Blair might accept Dan Humphrey’s. 4x01: “It takes more than even you to destroy Blair Waldorf.” No, but Blair Waldorf could – hence her rebuttals in 3x18, that she didn’t like who she’d become with him, not because he made her walk into Jack’s bargains, but because she’d undertaken it on her own, because she’d become the kind of girl capable of anything for lover – and capable of being manipulated by said lover. I think this is also why she’s dodged a reunion with him the second half of the present season, because 5x10 found her once again willing to undertake anything for him, even something as preposterous as a bargain with God. (3x22: “Signs are for the religious, the superstitious, and the lower class.”) If we think actions define us, then who are you, when you will do anything for that one other person? Your self empties out; you become an adjunct. How do you love the key to your own destruction?
The catch is, of course, that Blair is Chuck’s own demise. 5x02: “I feel nothing, when I see her and Louis, or when I jump off a building, or when I crash a motorcycle, even you don’t irritate me. Is being dead that much worse than being nothing?” 5x14: “I’d do anything for you.” Consider the following:
“If , then, one yields one’s person, body and soul, for good and ill in every respect, so that the other has complete rights over it, and if the other does not similarly yield himself in return and does not extend in return the same rights and privileges, the arrangement is one sided. But if I yield myself completely to another and obtain the person of the other in return, I win myself back; I have given myself up as the property of another, but in turn I take that other as my property, and so win myself back again in winning the person whose property I have become. In this way the two persons become a unity of will.”
– Immanuel Kant, Lectures on Ethics.
I debated whether or not to include the quote above, because A. hello pretension and B. I don’t stand one-hundred-percent behind it as a characterization of Blair and Chuck, but I do think it points to something that they are capable of, which is to say… anything, in one another’s arms. To come full circle. Be full circle, in a special sense. And this is why I think Chair is endgame, in the sense that the other movements of story – including the Dair love story – contribute to it. Because I think Chuck and Blair, as they are, are so helplessly tangled in one another that it’s impossible to make a decision to be together, because that’s the default – they are together, even when they’re not. They have become hyphenated! And I think Louis and, to a greater degree, Dan, offer Blair the possibility of being some other Blair, some other girl than the one that gave her whole heart to Chuck Bass and has yet to get it back. I think the reason she has been so torn, so frustratingly a-skitter this season, is because she isn’t torn between partners. That part is easy – it’s which Blair to be that is the trick. Blair the princess, a photographed monarch in the final step of the story that Blair’s been telling herself since kindergarten. Blair the vulnerable, the brilliant girl and French cinema aficionado. Or, perhaps, Blair Waldorf, who Chuck Bass loves, and all that implies. But what does that imply? Nothing. Anything. Everything, from the ugliest animal part of her to her domineering will to her hidden, curled-in heart. If she hasn’t been acting quite like herself, it’s because she’s no longer really sure what that might mean, how that girl should act. This is the first time she could really leave Chuck, and as such it’s the first time they can really be together. The reason I find Chair to be the stronger love story is because I think it has demanded so much from both parties, and because of it, we have seen the very best and worst of Chuck and Blair, the most of their respective hearts. It is a great love. It is a love that doesn’t suffer from the introduction of other possibilities. They are endgame not because there is no other way for the story to go, but because even so, it is an incredible account of how two people loved, and the exacting transformations that love asked of each of them.
Chair: I freakin’ ship it.

Happiness is like the old man told me. Look for it, and you’ll never find it. Let it go, live your life and leave it. Then one day wake up and she’ll be home.
Words From Whitney (Author of “Fake Empire”)
“I think the draw for me with Chuck and Blair was how unique they were to television. I admit to loving a very specific prototype couple before CB came along: the bad boy and the good girl. I liked the cliché redemption arc that always brought tears to my eyes. There was a comfort in knowing exactly how those couples and stories would play out, so I was reluctant to jump into the water with Chuck and Blair. He wasn’t just a bad boy, he was a bad, bad boy. He did despicable things and felt no remorse. And Blair… Well, Blair was the bad girl. She was the one you root against in romantic relationships while the “good” girl sneaks in and gets the guy. So, it was to my utter surprise when I found myself wanting the baddies together. Their spark, their energy – it just exploded on screen. I liked that they were devious and manipulative, and that they could revel in that together. There was something very freeing about watching a couple that not only accepted one another fully, but really enjoyed one another.
I once heard that loving someone means more than just loving the good parts of them, but also loving the monsters under their bed. I feel like that’s what it ultimately comes down to with Chuck and Blair. They love the good parts of one another - they’re loyal, they’re deeply devoted to each other and their friends - but they also know how to love the one another’s monsters. They fought them away together. I think it says a lot that at their lowest points, it was always the other who was there as a shining beacon of light. It didn’t always work out for the best, but the intentions were always good.
You hear so much about one person in a relationship needing to be redeemed, but that too was different with Chuck and Blair. They both came into this relationship needing redemption. It’s been a constant theme between them. Sometimes they needed to find forgiveness in others, sometimes in themselves, and most times from each other. I think it testifies to the strength of this couple that no matter what awful thing has been thrown at them, or what awful thing they’ve done to each other, they’re always able to come back around to the love. Some call that unhealthy, but I see it as the exact opposite. There’s something very beautiful and kind in the forgiveness they show one another. At their core they understand that while the love they share is messy, it is pure. It is the strongest thing in both their lives, the lightning rod they continually return to. And to me that’s the best kind of love. That kind of love survives the bad things, the third parties, the wandering hearts – it triumphs because it’s steadfast. At the end of the line, it will always be Chuck and Blair. Their hearts will always return to one another.”

Sex and Scheming Among Many Others …
So it gets thrown around all the time when the question of compatibility is raised, what do Chuck and Blair have in common aside from sex and scheming (as though the past 5 seasons have shown them to be nothing more than nymphomaniac deviants, having achieved nothing but the Big-O in their shared screen-time). Firstly I consider this a direct slight at the show-runners whose complex story of Chuck and Blair (involving much more than sex and/or scheming) cannot be denied over the years; regardless of whether you consider them to be endgame or not. Secondly, I put it to those nay-sayers that perhaps they have not been as invested in the show as their claims which they hold as a badge of entitlement.
BLOSSOMING AFFECTIONS
Yes, Chuck and Blair CONNECTED over a scheme, but there is no doubt that they did not just meet in the pilot; therefore those arguments that say they didn’t have a friendship are inaccurate. It was in spending that time together they began to see the complex sides to each other’s personalities and saw each other more than the friends they already were; years before we even met them.
Through scheming, they began to understand each other, developing feelings for the other. From Chuck’s masked praise “You don’t get nearly enough credit for your wit” [1.03] and “you are my toughest critic, well second toughest” [1.07]; to Blair’s growing affections “Truly, I am proud” [1.07] – their progress from friends to lovers was, and still is, the most organic relationship the show has EVER shown.
Chuck found his humanity in Blair, a shielded heart slowing opening ever-so-slightly to let someone in, risking the same cycle of hurt he had known his whole life. Growing up without ever knowing the kindness of family or friends, and instead finding comfort in the staff of his father’s hotels, or his slew of nannies; he found the strength to feel for someone and expose himself in trying to make them happy: “Something this beautiful deserves someone worthy of its beauty” [1.08]
Blair stopped hiding behind her shield of strength and valour with Chuck. Behind the “label-whoring package of girly evil” she was vulnerable and lived in the shadows of her mother’s success, constantly battling the ideals of aesthetic perfection in the fashion industry. Chuck affirmed to her that she was more than an “accessory” to him [1.10].
Dan and Blair share common interests in movies and books from mid-S4.
ORGANIC LOVE
Their intimate knowledge of each other did not require articulated dialogue between one another for us, the audience, to believe it. With just one line “You didn’t think you were the only one who knew about the scrapbook, did you?” [2.24] there is nothing more that needs saying of his feelings for his beloved. As for Blair - all she needed was to see Chuck distraught on her bed to instinctively rush over and cradle him with the warmth he had never felt from someone’s touch that didn’t involve being naked [2.13]. They both inherently KNOW what the other needs, even if it is against every fibre of their being in that moment – Blair was with Nate at the prom, and Chuck had just rejected her protestation of love in those two examples.
Dan and Blair share common interests in movies and books from mid-S4.
DO UNTO THEMSELVES
In fact, so deep is their commonality that they aware when the other is not acting like themself. Chuck found the strength to deny Blair her self-destruction despite craving her touch for so long -“This isn’t you … it’s not the Blair I want” [2.19] - as it meant what they had was “nothing”. And Blair confessed to Serena about “losing him” despite being very much in a relationship with him [3.14]. She knew him.
Dan and Blair share common interests in movies and books from mid-S4.
FRIENDS TIL THE END
Chuck and Blair respect each other’s friendships. After the cake incident with Serena, he observes a “freakishly calm Blair” and notes “the calm won’t last, and when it breaks there are going to be pieces of Blair all over the wall” [3.09]. What did Chuck do? He aids them into reconciliation knowing it’s what she needs.
Similarly Blair allows a lost weekend to mark Nate’s moving in, understanding that it was important to their friendship [3.09]. And when Serena chose Tripp over Nate, Chuck asks Blair “Hey do you mind if I stay?” with which she replies, “Yes, but that’s why I love you” [3.11].
Chuck and Blair will always respect each other’s relationships outside of their own and will never try to monopolise one another for their own personal benefit.
Dan and Blair share common interests in movies and books from mid-S4.
OUT OF THEIR LEAGUE IS JUST IN THEIR LEAGUE
They familiarise themselves with secret societies – he holding the future of America to ransom during open week at Yale, and she campaigning for her place in Girls Society and La Table Elitaire. But not only are Chuck and Blair aware of the other’s relentless pursuit to break away from the success of their parents and forge their own; they both support each other’s quest. Blair believed in Chuck when she surrendered the “vintage McMullen” at the Sotheby’s auction in order for him to take his business savvy to the next level [3.03]; and Chuck was always the feather for a Blair who was afraid of flying on her own merit; applying to Columbia for her in spite of her reluctance out of embarrassment for having to admit NYU was a mistake [3.20].
Dan and Blair share common interests in movies and books from mid-S4.
REFINEMENT & TRASH
They are both a complex dichotomy of refined breeding in over-achievement and trashy pop culture. He identifies with Ivanka Trump, and she with “Hilary Clinton in the White House”; but endearingly compare themselves to “Brad and Angelina” [4.09]. Chuck and Blair also share literature and turn it into a fun role-play exercise to enjoy as a couple (Ana Karenina and Wuthering Heights); along with old movies where Chuck is intimately aware that she is not Bette Davis but always Audrey Hepburn [3.06]. At the same time, they share a private joke when Blair is likened to the “manwhore” Lance Armstrong [3.11]. Hell, they even went to a Robyn concert where she sang karaoke drunk [4.07]!
Dan and Blair share common interests in movies and books from mid-S4.
ALL THE SMALL THINGS
Chuck and Blair are cultured; he travels to France for Blair’s favourite macarons, to Germany for her favourite fall stockings [2.25]. They both vacation in Europe, and the Hamptons (as Blair stated she would continue to do so at her Cotiliion). He arranges a chef to personally cater for one of her functions after she states there’s “nothing wrong with a lobster pot-pie between friends” [4.09]. Blair indulges Chuck his sexual deviousness in a way that they can remain in a fulfilling monogamous relationship; at the same time exploring her own insatiable appetite. And of course they have an affinity for classical grand piano melodies … [4.07]
Dan and Blair share common interests in movies and books from mid-S4.
SO THE QUESTION IS …
What do Dan and Blair have in common aside from a common interest in movies and books? After the book is finished, or the movie ends; then what? The only thing that Dan and Blair have over Chuck and Blair is institutionalised education. But what Chuck lacks in book knowledge, he makes up in practical knowledge. Chuck and Blair share so much more than they are given credit for because it has not been paraded before us through contrived dialogue – or “witty banter” if you will. Their affinity is natural and organic and can do without the fanfare.
Chuck and Blair are fictional characters in a story, they are not real people and to relate them to real life situations to make a narrative conclusion is to do a disservice to the storytelling. Clearly their story is one told over the course of 5 seasons; and still ongoing despite this “dair-tour”. Chuck and Blair, Blair and Chuck; the ONLY ending that makes sense.

Two seconds.
Two.
It seems like this is what you have to subsist on, to be a Chair shipper. Looks, and parrying statements, and blundering endings, and the excruciating performance of soul-mates wedged apart. It’s heart-fuck, for the most part – except there’s some really glorious moments mixed in, and Ed Westwick and Leighton Meester can make even the teensiest exchanges beautiful.
I love the way that Chuck looked at Blair in the aforementioned two seconds, the way he always looks at Blair: like someone stuck a pen-knife under his façade and pressed, quickly and insistently, upwards. ‘Raw’ is the adjective. Tender, but not in its usual association with adoration – soft, yes, but in the sense of something unformed and easy to bruise, underbelly emotion, maybe terrified, maybe hopeful. Then he sees Serena, and the Social Secreepertary; that slight parting of the mouth is reset into the Business Bass mode, the hard line, and it’s interesting to me that the cracking-open and the sealing-shut both occur as he gazes into Blair’s face.
I’m less impressed with Leighton here, but her job is arguably much harder. It’s all on her cute little face to reconcile the Chairytale we know is afoot and the most recent shenanigans the series has wreaked on her character (lol entendres!), and lately her response to Chuck seems to have been a kind of dead-eyed fascination. I’m not sure what it says. Is it proof of Blair’s resignation to Keep Promises to God and Apparently Fuck Dan (And Her Relationship With Serena By Metaphorical Proxy)? It might be. But I think it’s still in character in a certain manner, still telling. This is Blair when Waldorf Willpower carries the day again and again and again. This is Blair when there’s nothing left but a ‘no,’ which is, after all, her superpower, the ability to reject what’s at hand for her internal ideals, the ugly underhanded means towards beautiful Blair-ends, her designs, her story¸ the fairytale, as the show so often and subtly reminds us. In every other scene this episode she’s her familiar animate self, brows and eyes and imperious posture – only here is she pulled back, hidden, a limpet expression. It’s not insignificant that she glances at him as the elevator closes. Biting back something? I think so. They avoid touching each other as they exit, another season five development, which leads me to believe that all it will take to deliver a very Chairy ending in the season finale will be a slight skin graze before a marvelous primetime television prelude to sex.
What I mean to say is: what a goddamn great two seconds.
