So, I’m watching Gossip Girl, and I keep thinking about how Dan is who Blair turns to after the car crash. After the wedding, Serena tells Dan she’s Blair’s best friend, but she’s wrong. Dan became that person for Blair. Yes. He had feelings for her after their initial kiss. But: He kept her pregnancy a secret, one he knew before Serena. He was supportive while she figured out the paternity. He put her back with Chuck because he wanted her to be happy. Then, she told only him about the deal she made for Chuck’s life, and he took her to church to work through it. Despite the fact that Serena was right there, Blair called Dan to get her after the wedding went to hell. She didn’t turn to Serena for any of that. Dan was Blair’s best friend long before they got romantic.
