This is where it all started for me. On a chilly day in Autumn where two unlikely characters realized they had so much more in common than just a beautiful blonde.
Personal Audio Post Talking About Dair
be warned: it’s quite cheesy/heartfelt
In so many ways the sadness and realization of last night’s events is just starting to hit me.
I can’t believe that Dair is over.
And even if they aren’t, it looks like they will never, ever be what they were and what we hoped for them. The two things that could have broken this fandom happened in the most unexpected and callous way possible.
Dan slept with Serena and Blair went back to Chuck.
In no way were any of us even aware that this would happen. I never thought Dan would do something like that nor that Blair would go against EVERYTHING she has been saying for the past arc and run back to Chuck. Fans didn’t even get a proper closure scene for Dair.
I am angry at the writers, frustrated with the characters, and sad for this entire fandom. This fandom who saw Dan and Blair’s history as this intense buildup to a lasting romance. We don’t deserve this. No fandom deserves to be treated like this. Yes, we have the good memories, but it is so unfair that GG threw away so much potential in the blink of an eye!
I really hoped that Dair would be endgame. I wanted to believe in the buildup and that Dair is what the writers wanted all along, but they dashed my hopes and made my worst nightmare come true.
I love this fandom and am curious to see who sticks around to watch the shortened sixth season. I will probably watch from a distance only tuning in to see Dair scenes. After all, I still need to finish my “Top 30 Dair Moments” for 2012. Dair was great for what it was. They were perfect intellectually, romantically and in every other healthy way possible.
While my blog will still pay homage to Dair, other shows will probably take precedence. I won’t unfollow any of my fellow Dair blogs. Because the best thing I got out of shipping Dair were the people I met and beautiful blogs I found.
I still support you all no matter what you decide to blog about next.
I hope that I can be there for you guys as many of you are changing urls and sidebar gifs and just having to re-do entire blogs in general. I too will be changing my theme at some point this week.(It hurts too much to keep it how it is)
Some people will continue to be active in the fandom, writing fan fiction and creating Dair gifs, others will shut Dair and GG out entirely. But I hope we can all look back at the time we have spent shipping this couple, and remember it fondly.
Remember it as a time that we were able to find community with people to appreciate one of the best ships ever. To laugh with and cry about. To gif and write about. To vote for and debate about. A time when so many people came together to support a couple that held so much hope and promise. No matter the outcome, we all found each other.
It is hard to let go, but I hope we can all move on together.
Safran : Remember, everyone write something!
Amanda Lasher : “You sold me for your hotel Chuck.”
Jake Coburn : “And I love you”
Josh Safran : “But I’m in love with Dan”
Sara Goodman : “That doesn’t mean I’m not in love with you”
Jake Coburn : “You are the one I…
…until tonight, when I see it wet.
Somehow, between being traded for a hotel and selling out for a tiara, I lost my true self.
Because Blair Waldorf, Queen of the UES, casually calling Dan Humphrey , the Lonely Boy from Brooklyn, her boyfriend will never NOT be a big deal or cease to make me insanely happy.
