Blair made a pact with God to stay away from Chuck yet made a deal with the devil (Georgina) to be with Dan. She used the dowry as an excuse to not be with Chuck yet risked it to be with Dan. She asked Chuck to let her deal with her fake marriage by herself yet went running to Dan because she needed him. She survived the month after her accident without Chuck but couldn’t of survived it without Dan. She broke up with Chuck to become a powerful woman yet she comes to Dan for help in finding herself.
Am I sensing a pattern here?

hmmmm

Brake the cycle

Last episode really gave me a lot of feelings. I don’t know how the GG writers manage to insert such beautiful scenes into overall mediocre show, but Serena/William scene and off course two Dair scenes made my heart ache. They just casually told us what we were saying for year - Dan is Blair’s center, he makes her happy and she is her real self with him.

I really don’t know what show some people watch, but their talent of making up things and switching story meaning are remarkable. Because at this point I can’t understand what is let up for debate here - it’s just that crystal clear.

Chair = Blair’s weakness, darkness, she’s not herself anymore

3x17 - she whored herself out for a hotel.

3x18 - she’s so ashamed of herself that can’t even confide in her friends. “I can’t tell anyone, it’s too awful”.

4x07 - “Whenever Chuck’s around I just feel like a weak little girl“

4x09 - “As long as I’m with you I’m Hillary in White House and I want to be Hillary Secretary of State”

4x16 - “I thought that if I could be the Blair Waldorf that I want to be a little sooner, that maybe I could return to Chuck before he fell for someone else. Tonight he’s thinking about a different girl. And meanwhile, I lost my job, I failed a test… I almost got my best friend’s mother arrested“

4x20 - “I should have known my past with Chuck would come back to haunt me. Do you know the last time I felt joy? Chuck had brought me into his darkness for so long I had forgotten what that felt like“

4x21 - she’s masking her scar and lying that she hurt herself to protect Chuck’s psychotic behavior. In the same episode she tells Cyrus: “You may not be aware of this, but it’s not all light and bright in here. There are some places devoid of even a hint of sparkle. […] Chuck was the only one who ever did. But he couldn’t see the rest“

4x22

“I’ve loved Chuck for so long and he punished me for it. He treated me like something he owned, not like something he earned. And it destroyed me”

“No matter what we do and how much we fight, it’ll always pull us in. What’s mere happiness in the face of all that, right?“

5x16

- Only there is nothing powerful about you right now. Ugh, you always get this way when you around Charlie Trout.

- I don’t know who I am without him, Sabrina.

And now the latest confirmation:

5x21

“I don’t want to leave in someone else’s shadow anymore. I did it the whole year when I was with Louis and then with Chuck before that. I’m sick of being behind the scenes in the relationships”

“You were right the problem wasn’t your success, it was me. Somehow between being traded for a hotel and selling out for a tiara I’ve lost my true self“

Dair = Blair strength, her center, she’s her real self with Dan

1x04 - she founds strength to confront her mother in grate part because of Dan.

2x08 - Dan encourage her to say ILY to Chuck.

3x02 - Dan tries to help her find her way in collage.

3x10 - The Gaga Play - the only success Blair had at NYU.

4x12 - Dan’s “Dictator of taste” quote encourages Blair to focus on her career.

4x13 - she fights hard to get an internship at W: “I practically stalked Stefano. I spent the night in his lobby waiting to meet him. After the police escorted me out of the building for the third time, I faxed a letter to every machine in the building”. Then she refuses to scheme against Dan, because she already trusted him enough - a very strong move on her part.

4x17

- You’re too happy, content.

- I have found my center that’s all.

5x02 - Dan encourage her to take the pregnancy test and off course “Maybe it’s not blood bonds that make us a family. Perhaps it’s the people that know us and love us anyway. So we can finally be ourselves”

5x03 - “I turned to you, Dan. Because I knew you were the only one who would protect me from my own worst instincts“

5x16

- You’re Clair Carlyle! You’re in control of your own destiny… and most of Manhattans. You and Dylan have something even you and I don’t have. No matter how you treat him he cares about you, not in spite of who you are, but because of it.

- Dan loves me for me.

5x20 - “Our relationship isn’t about choosing one world or another. Our relationship is our world. We’re a team”

5x21

“For the first time in a long time I feel as if all is right in the Universe”

“You’re not behind the scenes with me. That’s what I love about us - we’re equals. Maybe you were so focused on how everyone else perceives you, that you no longer know who you are. And that’s too bad. ‘Cause if you could only see what I see”

- I want to be found. Could you possibly help?

- I have a feeling that the real Blair Waldorf is a lot closer, than you think. Wasn’t that long when she and I was working side by side at W and I totally fell for her.

- And what was that girl like?

- That girl is fiercely strong, independent, outspoken, beautiful, capable of anything no man or magazine can take that away from her.

- She sounds great. I look forward to meeting her again.

And as if that’s not enough here comes Safran and Leighton Meester herself saying:

“It’s really allowing her to come into her own and grow in a great way, with Dan by her side, is someone who has always accepted that growth in her. Her relationship with Chuck has always been fraught with a little bit of antagonism, it’s been sexy and also they tried to be there for each other but then things get in the way. And here she finally has a guy who is like, you go off and do what you need to do and I’ll be here. It’s fun to see when she comes back into her own“

“At the same time, Dan “will continue help Blair rediscover Blair in a very sweet, good way,” the EP reminded us, noting that she’s finally broken the parameters of her relationships with Chuck and Louis. Blair gave up her control, her power in becoming a princess. Now that dream is over, for better or worse, and she’s finally breaking free and finding out who she is. And from the beginning, Dan was the one basically saying ‘I’ll be here always, I accept whoever you are.’”

“I think she kind of is her real self with him”

So basically Leighton Meester, GG writers and the show itself episode after episode tell us that Blair’s growth, happiness, confidence and self-worth is tied to Dan, and on the contrary Chair relationship only led to destruction. I don’t know what other confirmation is needed.

And one more side note… Does this scene looks and sounds familiar?

Maybe it’s just me, but I’ve totally got a feeling that writers was kind off mocking all those fans obsessing over couple’s chemistry. I think think that it’s really easy to play the “chemistry card”, but as we see it in Nate/Diana scene words mean nothing and chemistry mean nothing - you can say all this “magnetic” stuff and then leave the person after you used them. Real relationships are built on friendship, mutual trust and respect, on common interests and shared goals - chemistry is just a delightful bonus. And I guess I know a couple that has all this traits.
