As much as I disliked Dan he was 100% right about Serena. She thought being offended by reality is more serious than her BFF losing her fiancé over fiction. If that's not self centered and shallow I don't know what is
I do feel sorry for Serena like why do people just assume she’s a selfish bitch? Because they like Blair more? There’s literally almost half of the show focusing on Serena and her insecurities, showing how people perceive her in a negative light and how she actually wants to be a good person but it just flew over people’s heads apparently
“A pretty blonde” Serena is hurt, she isn’t full of herself. She’s hurt that the love of her life, who once put her on a pedestal, saw her like that. Serena should’ve ended up with Nate.
@@liamcarrington7681 Nate deserve better. Serena is nothing but just a funny homewrecker. Stealing people's husband, sleeping with BBF's bf... If you think she should end up with Nate, you are dumb

@@liamcarrington7681 yeah but it's a book. If you sum up Serena from a literary point of view, she's just a pretty blonde who's rich and dates a lot. There's nothing else to add. Of course she expected more because they dated, but then it wouldn't be a book. It would be a poem or something...
She's not full of herself, if he knew her best he should have known that she became intentional about growing and living life seriously. She got a job to become responsible and not rely on a trust fund. She was mad that someone who cares about her portrayed her in a way that she doesn't want to relate to anymore. That's why she said "it's about how you wrote them". He then explained that it was the point of his character to be shallow and judgemental. I still think he should have been more careful because his friends are affected still.
@@kelseydamons4336 Your right but i really think its not that big of a deal aside Blair's ofcourse but theres a line between fiction and reality if a author writes a story of incest to get emotional depths and drama in a book dose not mean his having incest relation with his/her sibling or any other family member. But Dan should have said that he wants people to be engaged in this book and talk about so using them as references and similar name instead of just saying don't take it personally its a fiction😂 but to the point can't blame only one be it Serena, Blair, Dan or Nate
Everyone only read the pages that involves them, instead of reading the entire book. Dan made his own book character just as bad as everyone else . Dylan hunter was a judgemental prick, who skip’s job interviews and ends up completely alone. Serena’s character in dan’s book was based off not only her , but also Daisy from great gastby and other female characters in literature.
Most of what Dan wrote was true however he’s a jerk for treating his so called “friends” like that and just expecting his friends to accept and go along with all of there secrets being exposed in a book.
To be fair, he had no intention, that we know of, of publishing it. Vanessa stole the manuscript and started the process. Even if he didn't come forward as the writer, everyone and especially his friends would have had no problem unmasking the author immediately.
Why? They all do this stuff to each other on a regular basis. She forgives the million times Blair did that to her, but when its Dan, its a different story? How many times has Serena also screwed Dan over and she expected him just to forgive her and he did, but when its the other way around, Dan is unforgiveable? It just doesn't make any sense. Also the character was BASED off them. It wasn't exactly about them and Dan didn't get to edit it or anything before it was sent in by Vanessa without his ok. Point is, the character that is BASED OFF of Serena doesn't matter. It wasn't actually about Serena and was a piece of fiction so... Sorry but writers base characters after people they know all the time. It doesn't mean anything.
Gossip Girl Season 5 is one of the weirdest seasons of TV I’ve ever watched. It’s like the writers decided to make every character as unlikeable as possible. It’s feels so bleak with none of the charm from the earlier seasons. It’s sad to see how bad the show became.
This was so stupid. Dan even said it was Fiction. And he didn't get to edit it. Vanessa submitted it unfinished so he couldn't go through it to decide what he wanted to keep or change. Yes characters were loosely based on people he knew but who cares? That's what writers do. My friend wrote a story involving several of our friend group including me. Am I crack whore? No but it made a great story and it was kinda funny. This whole plot just showed no one in Dan's life actually took the time to understand him or listen. Too self absorbed so it kinda made sense that he gave up on them in season six (though that whole season was a dumpster fire).
this is one of the situations where everybody is in the wrong. dan is awful for writing about his friends and expecting them to be okay with it. and because his supposedly intelligent friends were so self-absorbed that they only read the bits about themselves, we can't even tell if their reaction is overblown or justified.
This storyline was so dumb. HE SAID IT'S FICTION. The characters were INSPIRED by them. They are NOT the characters. He just took some aspects of them and put them into the characters he MADE. They're all dumb.
Not only are the character dumb, but the fans of this show are dumb as well. They're attacking Dan for this just like the characters and don't seem to understand the work of fiction writing. Also, even if Dan had intentionally done this to hurt them which he didn't, but even saying hypothetically he did, how many times have they done bad stuff to each other and they were ok with it but when Dan does something its considered to be the worst crime anyone could ever commit?
Honestly after season 3 her style goes downhill. The hair makeup clothes everything. Her style was classic and didn’t incorporate by bright colors. But the stylist completely changed Blair’s style to fit early 2010s saturation and it was HORRIBLE
Dan is a hypocrite. He complains about how they all are awful and in the end he turned out just like them maybe even worst. However accurate he might have been about them it wasn't his story to tell. He should've been the one that ended up alone.
Personally, I’m not on anyone’s side on this one (i mean, all characters did some pretty messed up things at some point so the only thing that made me have a preference was whether they would admit it or not) But objectively speaking, didn’t he admit himself that his alter ego character was as bad as all of the others, a « judgmental dick who can’t look himself in the mirror, comes out as the worst of all of them » So if his characters are really based on them, doesn’t it mean that he acknowledges himself as being as bad as all of the others, Chuck and Serena included ? Moreover, isn’t it fiction ? It just seems to me that he didn’t intend for the characters to be an EXACT portrayal of the original inspirations, so I personally think it’s kinda normal that some of their features are being exaggerated
“A pretty blonde” Serena is hurt, she isn’t full of herself. She’s hurt that the love of her life, who once put her on a pedestal, saw her like that. Serena should’ve ended up with Nate.
And what did she do exactly to be on that pedestal? Literally nthg. She gets handed on opportunities like Barbie dolls and when she can't have what she wants she makes sure noone else steals it from her. People who blatantly ridicule others aren't the worst, it's the ones who play nice with a knife in the back ready to stab you any moment.
@@qvxcswqr in my opinion, the first 3 seasons were great. The 4th season was meh and the last two were absolute trash. It’s probably because the cast was contracted for 6 seasons , so everyone on the show was kind of over it at that point and wanted to do other projects.
@@Kuzothegoatme too season 1 and 3 are the best ones I’d say. I did like season 2 episode 6 where serena and blair fight about yale though that was fun lol.
everyone saves your thinkpieces and critical thinking (which isn't critical at all) bcs Dan is 100% an asshole for what he wrote in the book and then he tried to act like a victim, a pessimistic "anti-hero" and also proceed to say everyone deserves it...he's equivalently as bad as Serena, Blair, Chuck, Nate! and no, him being poor sad boy isn't gonna excuse it
ALL OF THESE CHARACTERS EWWWWW and also the blaire prince arc was weird idk and also not to be that person but like they couldve chosen a more handsome actor to play Dan like 😐

Literally stfu because Serena is actually just a broken girl with daddy issues. I don’t understand why half the fandom finds it so hard to comprehend

Joe Goldberg and DEEP weird crossovers
I know right crazy 😂😂😂
Nate lmao
No because for real Nate is the biggest loser in history always trying to get in when he's out lol
This was such a cleverly written episode. The writers of the show were critiquing their own characters through Dan's writing. I loved it 😅
Dan is a jerk but all the others are jerks too. Nate, Chuck, Blair, Serena.
