I’ve seen so many people post about not understanding how the writers could possibly write Blair’s character to be as weak and easily manipulated as she has been this season, and while I do question if the writers actually watch their own show and remember what they’ve had characters say and do before. I wonder if Blair is being exactly how they want her to be.

The labels they stuck on their characters in Season 2 during the finale episode have managed to stick with most of them today, Dan being the ultimate insider wrote a book titled Inside. Nate has proved his man-whore-ish ways countless times, though I do hope he breaks free of that label. Serena is mostly irrelevant, if she disappeared the show wouldn’t suffer much in my opinion, Chuck will always be a coward, just the way in last nights episode he “let/encouraged” Louis to put those pictures in the slide show, ugh.

The point here is that Blair was given the label weakling, and I honestly hope that while they are doing horrible things to her character in the process, that the end goal is to show her that she needs to surround herself with people who bring out her strength. Chuck has never consistently been that person. 

Dan Humphrey while being the last thing she ever saw coming is the one who gives her strength, the strength to find out the paternity of her child, the strength to go a party and fake it in front of her friends and family, the strength to remember how powerful she truly is. And that is just THIS season, he was the first one to help her see that love was worth the risk, and was there for her at NYU in different way even when he didn’t particularly want to be, was there for her when he’d only just met her four episodes into the show. Dan has always been the one to make her stronger.

I can’t wait to see her realize this, and understand that he is who she is meant to be with, he’s strong enough for himself and for her. He has the strength to love her and keep it to himself, just imagine the strength he’d give her once she know’s how unconditional his love is.

Blair being with Dan Humphrey is going to show her breaking free of the label she was given and ignoring the labels she may have put on him in the past. I can’t wait! Your thoughts?
