can u rank blair, nate,serena and danās ships
i did this once here but my opinions have changed and also iāll include non-canon ships this time and also i really like ranking stuff.
vanessa. i smile literally every time i think about them. they had so much potential.
blair. i have very complicated feelings about them and i donāt think had were a particularly healthy relationship but i find their relationship very interesting and i think they loved each other more than anything and i think that through it all they were soulmates.
carter. forever obsessed with the āwho is he not to want you scene.ā i think they were very similar people and theyād have so much fun together but also understand each other.
nate&carter. talked about them here. (ok and this ends all the ships i like. six and onwards are her the rest of her canon relationships and i dislike them all to varying extents.)
dan. i have an anti der/ena tag.
that guy from s6. it was literally so weird. he was so old and he slept with her mother???
tripp. he was literally just a dick. who leaves somebody unconscious in a car after getting into a crash???
ben. i. despise. him. i literally hate him so much. so so so so so so much.
ok in terms of canon relationships this is all i remember. i think there were definitely some iām blanking on. also there is a big drop form 5 to 6. i love my entire top five so much and dislike the rest so much.
serena&carter. talked about them here.
dan. i donāt really have strong feeling about them but i was writing about nate the other day and about how he didnāt take action particularly often but there was one person who he always took action for or rather who convinced him to take action and change his own life. dan. like leaving the dartmouth rep, getting into the bus with dan instead of the limo with chuck. also i liked their scenes in s1 a lot.
vanessa. i will forever love that scene in s3 where nateās doing something not great with regards to tripp and politics and then vanessa is like this isnāt the person i used to know. the person i fell in love with. and thatās what inspires nate to do the right thing. i think they were cute. but like with natedan, iām not super invested.
blair. i donāt ship them at all. their relationship was them trying to conform to other peopleās expectations and about their internalise feelings of inadequacy. i think their breakup was so necessary for both of them to grow and it showed that they were working on letting go of these people they were trying to be and instead deciding to live for themselves. but i do think their relationship is super interesting. like one of my favourites to talk about. and because it took place mostly in s1 and s2 i think it was well written.
carter. nate had a huge crush on carter in s1.
raina. they had some very genuine moments.
lola. all i remember about them was that they spent a lot of time talking about serena. last nate dynamic that i donāt dislike.
ivy. idk?? i always forget they have a thing and i donāt remember it at all.
jenny. no. just no. he treated her like a sister. they were so badly written in s3. just no.
chuck. there was a huge power imbalance in their relationship.
diana. so so bad. she was so much older than her. it was not good.
bree. i donāt remember anything except that i disliked her and she was much older than him.
catherine. no no no no no. he was a child! she was an adult. it was so bad. she manipulated him. also she was sleeping with her stepson.
sage. iām going to quote my last ranking post because i agree with myself. āliterally just what the actual fuck she was a HIGH SCHOOLERā.
vanessa. talked about them here <3
serena. i have very complicated feelings about them and i donāt think had were a particularly healthy relationship but i find their relationship very interesting and i think they loved each other more than anything and i think that through it all they were soulmates. also i have so many thoughts about blairās feelings for serena pre-series and in s1.
nate. blair. i donāt ship them at all. their relationship was them trying to conform to other peopleās expectations and about their internalise feelings of inadequacy. i think their breakup was so necessary for both of them to grow and it showed that they were working on letting go of these people they were trying to be and instead deciding to live for themselves. but i do think their relationship is super interesting. like one of my favourites to talk about. and because it took place mostly in s1 and s2 i think it was well written.
carter. i wish they had interacted more. this is the last blair dynamic that i actually like.
jenny. idk i think they could have had potential but blair was so so so terrible to jenny so in canon definitely not.
louis. i think the blairlouis plot line was pointless but they werenāt completely terrible until their wedding.
chuck. i have an anti ch/air tag.
nate. i donāt really have strong feeling about them but i was writing about nate the other day and about how he didnāt take action particularly often but there was one person who he always took action for or rather who convinced him to take action and change his own life. dan. like leaving the dartmouth rep, getting into the bus with dan instead of the limo with chuck. also i liked their scenes in s1 a lot.
vanessa. i like danessa! i think they loved each other so so much. they didnāt work romantically but they understand each other perfectly as friends.
carter. yes i ship carter with all of them. i think if they had significant interactions in canon it would have been a very interesting dynamic. like dan was pretty fascinated by how ch/uck lived but with chuck, every time dan wasnāt punching him in the face it was out of character. and i feel like with carter dan wouldāve gotten the whole stay up all night feeling alive experience with somebody who isnāt a horrible person.
vanessa&the character played by hilary duff. literally all there interactions at nyu were so good. they were so much fun.
hilary duff character. fun! also this is the last dan ship on the list that i donāt dislike.
chuck. okay listen. i obviously despise chuck. and in canon i think every interaction where dan isnāt punching chuck in the face is out of character for him. but also if you watch some of their scenes in s5 and also that one episode where they get arrested and you pretend that chuck isnāt chuck and literally evil, they have a very interesting dynamic. also i feel danchuck is the one chuck relationship without a huge power imbalance.
