Revisiting.

Dear all,

The past two days I, for some silly reason, felt like revisiting Dair…and Gossip Girl. I decided to watch some episodes from season 4 and of course it left me unhappy and disappointed once again. It was honestly such a shame how the series turned out. Not because of “endgame” reasons, but more so because of the inconsistencies and lack of a closure towards the end of season 5. But I’m posting this to actually share an article I read regarding the Chair/Dair feud (written by a Dair fan from Huffington, so it may not completely be fair) I thought the piece was well-written, and strikes all the points I feel about the series. What I enjoyed about it is that it covers the relationships throughout the series and not just at certain points. So, without further ado, click the title “Revisiting” for the article.

Sincerely,

Dear all,

This may come as blasphemous to all of you but even though I love Dair and I hate how much this season sucked, I actually quite liked the intensity of the last episode. Sure, it may have had super unnecessary storyline and, of course, out of character bullshit spewing all over the place, but the mystery of Bart Bass intrigued me a lot.

I think Robert John Burke’s acting was brilliantly sinister and he really made this episode. The talk with Dan, kidnapping Blair and the rooftop scene with Chuck. I have to say, I really loved it all; especially the film noir style soundtrack pairing with the dark turn of events on the roof. It was quite wonderfully executed. This is me trying to keep as much optimism possible.

As a fan of Dair, I am thoroughly disappointed by the fact that Blair still can’t see pass Dan’s exposé. But the Dan fan in me is saying “Way to go, Dan. You’re finally going to have the girl of your dreams forever.” I should explain. When I first started watching Gossip Girl, I rooted for Derena as I saw myself in Dan, a boy chasing after a girl who’s way out of his league. It got boring for me at some point so I stopped watching. But Dair pulled me back in season 4. But now, I guess I’m reverting back to the underdog romantic in me hoping that he can score the hottest chick in the show.

So, the finale. I know, I know, it’s too late for Dair fans. But hey, I have faith the writers will pull a great finale. Let’s hope for the best!

Sincerely,

Just a quick one.

Dear all,

After nights of reading the dair tag I’m beginning to notice a pattern with season 6: the writers are placing little pieces significance in Blair. I’m not clear enough to continue on elaborating but I would say this, I have a strong feeling that Dair is going to have a fair fight. Like I had previously said in my first post, I might just be a guy living in a rainbow land filled with cotton candy but I believe the writers are going to do us justice. They’re not dumb, they know who’s the better ending. I think they’re just giving us one last fight before the show ends.
Let’s stay positive guys!

Sincerely,

What I think

Dear all,

I have been a dair fan for some time now. I followed Gossip Girl when it first started and stopped around season 2. I was curious and decided to watch a new episode (season 4) and found out about this romantic affair between Dan and Blair which re-sparked my interest in GG.

That’s my back story. What I want to say is, I have this strange feeling that the writers are setting up dair to be the ultimate ‘end game’. It’s just me being hopeful and, probably, naive. I’ve also been following the dair tag for a long time now and I’m getting kind of sick of everybody being so down! Not to bring people’s hopes up, but I’ve always been the kinda guy (yes i’m a straight dude. please, ladies, let me finish my sentence.) that has faith that everything will work out the way i hope, whether it’d be my love life or the love life of my favorite character, Blair.

I’m making this post to hopefully shine some positivity onto this almost hopeless ship. Please, let’s have a little faith and hope for the best. And regardless of who Blair actually ends up with, let’s just enjoy it as much as we can.

Sincerely,
