favorites to watch on my screen:
GOSSIP GIRL edition (i’m halfway through the series!)
*this is my favorites to see on my screen doesn’t necessarily mean i support their decisions*
*not fleshed out or anything & it made sense in my head and not probs not to u guys lol
1. Chuck: yes he’s done unforgivable things but just his whole persona & complexity makes it hard to look away, i’m always pulled to characters who are in that “dark grey” area. like u really don’t know what he’s thinking & why he does what he does. he likes games & so do i. plus him & leighton have great chemistry. also his play on words make me laugh (it’s like when a character says something so absurd/wrong it’s funny).
2. Blair: duh, she’s my it girl. she can be backstabby a lot but she’s just a girl. i love how she holds & views herself. and how she goes/gets what she wants. she has a kinda soft side but i wish it was more consistent. i think she holds good relationships but she lets chuck get in the way a lot. similarly to chuck, i love her one liners / comebacks. she just does whatever she wants and i’m like “girl” but go off ig since it makes me laugh. also extra but i love her & dorta!
3. Jenny: She irritates me sometimes but im like yeah they be doing u wrong…i also like her vibe, loved s1 her tho ofc, but also like her evolution. i thought she was gone after s3 but she’s in s4 quite a bit but they always sabotage her so rip.
4. Nate: He’s so clueless it’s sometimes not funny. I like how he’s loyal to an extent, like he has a few slip ups but given his whole family situation….I wish he was more than just a blunt in the rotation. I think he has potential to be more so maybe in the later seasons ?? idk. but he is literally prince charming like he could be taking over NYC like chuck, but ig that’s what separates him, he just wants the simple things in life.
5. Dan: He’s definitely my humor relief character as someone who talks in sarcasm he speaks my language lol. I can see how some can find it annoying and sometimes im like read the room. he loves serena a lot (can be annoying as well). i sometimes feel bad because like hes technically an outside tryna fit it and he’ll never really fit in. but that’s just reality so dan u do u. him & blair aren’t horrible but it gives sibling vibes with the banter.
5. Rufus & Lilly: I think they’re eh parents. Ofc they have a lot of skeletons, and issues and like a lot of children if u combine everyone lol so i understand. their relationship is questionable/boring rn. Like i did like the will they won’t they. I didn’t mind lilly leaving for Rufus, but im like what next?? I feel like it’s hard for them to be parents together since their kids are on opposite ends. I do like how Lilly calls the kids by their full name, like Daniel & Charles, it adds to her. And i like her relationship with Chuck, I think it’s needed regardless of what u think of either of them. Also since they chose to each other rather than it already being there.
6. Eric: I knew he was gay from the start lol it’s so obvious. He’s a cutie tho I do like him. He has morals for the most part but also slips a few times. I also feel like there’s more he can do…like he doesn’t fit fully in with the older kids like Jenny did so it’s just like … I think they could come up with someone other than him being gay or mentally unstable.
7. Vanessa: not hoping on the Vanessa hate train, but yeah she’s just like there and only going between all of them & doesnt get along with girls (understandably so) so it’s just like leave ig. I didn’t think when they introduced her in s1 she’d stay that long but ig…I think she also has more to give than just being in love with Dan or Nate. She has her good moments but when she’s missing in episodes im not missing her.
