Chuck Bass doesn’t do dancing… except if it’s with Blair Waldorf.

That moment when almost every character on Gossip Girl ships Chuck and Blair.

I was listening to the GGirlsss 5.23 podcast and this part about Dan caught my attention (yes I actually had to rewind and replay several times to transcribe all of this; yes gasp it’s about Humphrey; but it’s not about ships but his character journey, which I actually haven’t understood and maybe I finally have):
What’s gonna come back to Dan are Vanessa’s words in season 4: that in order to be a great writer you have to be on the outside. Notice the more inside Dan is, the less he’s able to write. He’s had really bad writer’s block now that he’s got it all, he’s inside, like literally, inside Blair, he’s there, he’s got it. He’s King, finally, of the Upper East Side with Queen Blair on his side. And now he’s got major writer’s block—why? If Blair was his inspiration and made him write, why is he having all of this writer’s block? He should be writing left and right at this point because of her. But instead he’s on the inside, where he’s lost his mojo.
It’s a full season later, and he’s still putting his career and his talents on hold because of his relationship with Blair, just like he was doing because of Serena in season 4. So, clearly, it’s not about the girl, it’s about Dan, and it’s something he needs to fix.
And he’s only gotten this far as he has with his writing throughout the series, not just this season, but throughout the series, because of another girl: Vanessa. That’s how he got published in the New Yorker, and that’s how his book got published in the first place. So it’s all Vanessa. None of it is because of his effort to become what he wants to become, a writer.
All of Dan’s finales, previous to now, previous to Vanessa getting booted off the show, were [him cheating?] well yes him cheating, but Vanessa was always a huge part of the finales. Season 1 finale, the cliffhanger was he was gonna spend time with Vanessa and maybe hook up with Vanessa. Season 2, he spends the whole finale with Vanessa and the cliffhanger is him and Vanessa meeting his brother, which Vanessa’s gonna start dating. Season 3, he’s cheating on Vanessa. Season 4, Vanessa gets his book published. So I just find it interesting how much Dan’s story really is propelled by Vanessa.
