You hate how people treat you so you become like them?! Wtf! Besides that, everybody else turned out to be way better than him so that is just wrong! And Dan has been Gossip Girl the whole time so I wonder if he has ever been different.
Everyone has their opinions on Dan in the comment section but at least we can all (hopefully) agree that Blair and Serena's outfits in this scene were amazing!
I hated the ending so much. I always thought Serena would be able to break away from the toxic environment she was brought up and live happily with a good guy like Dan used to be. Instead Dan became just like every other rich and mean prince that Serena used to roll her eyes to and they get married 🤦🏻♀️
@@j2forew974 Serena and Nate were never endgame just because he was cuter than Dan doesn't mean Serena and Nate were endgame. Serena was never over Dan even when she was with Nate she wanted Dan. They were endgame and will always be
@@treavec4842 It's not that she found Nate boring it's that she was never interested in anyone the way she was Dan and at the end of the day they loved each other
alyssa huyett except Dan was a judgmental prick from the first episode and didn’t deserve Serena, Nate is a kind soul. It pissed me off that’s he judged Serena for being friends with Blair when S was nothing but kind to him. “You are who your friends are” is a load of bullshit
I know, a lot of people hate Dan but I like his character and I love his development. He's the good guy turned bad, it's not done often enough. He despised the upper east side mentality, but living in it made him change because otherwise he wouldn't get ahead, it makes complete sense. If you notice, when it's revealed that he is gossip girl, nobody even cared. They all laughed about it and were making jokes. With the exception of Blair and the only reason she was mad is because he beat them at their own game, flawlessly, I might add. If you hate Dan, you don't understand the show. They're all morally bankrupt. They're all backstabbing each other. It's comes with the territory. Which is what Dan is explaining in this scene. You can't hate Dan without hating every other person on this show, besides maybe nate. The only difference is, they were born in it, he adapted to the life. If you think about it, dude won on so many levels it's insane. Not only did he manage to beat the upper eastsiders at their own game, but he reinvented the rules. Dude went from a nobody to being in the most popular group of upper eastsiders. From Brooklyn rat to dining with the elite. If Blair is the Queen of the Upper Eastside, Dan is the King and he had it the whole time. He had them beat before they even knew who he was. I think his character is the best on the show, bar none. Followed by Blair of course. Dan was right and because of his backstabbing and trickery, he'll be remembered as a goat of the upper eastside, which is what everyone wants.
The others didn't lie to each other for years, they also didn't write all those hateful things... And it isn't even about Gossip Girl for me, I could have forgive that one, it is about posting that mean chapter about Serena! He called her an empty shell that is easy to manipulate, you can't say something like that to your girlfriend! I've loved Dan, I really did, and it breaks my heart to write that but he's a bad guy, a really bad guy.
Agreeed, everybody hates on him and I get it. Really.. but the thing that dazzles me is how he was so smart throughout the show, he wanted something, he needed that and he got what he wanted at the end too. I am speechless
The way he delivered that last line was perfect and this scene show just exactly what the upper east side is and who are the puppets and who are holding the strings
What’s worse is he was trying to rationalize everything he did with Gossip Girl. But, on the other hand he told the honest truth. But the most brutal, hurtful version of the truth through the Gossip Girl blog. He told the truth in this scene. I have a feeling he was completely sincere here. Still doesn’t make it any less sad though… this scene I mean…. Poor Serena… The really sad thing is that Dan deep down was and is right.
@Kaleela Edwards delusional. They don’t know they are bad people. They think the world revolves around them. They are spoiled children who never worked for anything. The adversity they go through is all manufactured drama. They still have millions or billions waiting for them.
@@AngelicMistyStorm thank you! I mean, you know as soon as him and serena had their first argument as a married couple Selena: the Blonde Bimbo was coming out
@@AngelicMistyStorm I live love love the show, but I feel serena should of ended up caring more about her career than her love life, it would round her out nicely and not make her seem so shallow. And Dan is the worst. He should of ended up with vanessa. They could of been pretensious together
i can't believe she married him. i don't understand how y'all support him for calling Serena an empty shell. We all know that she is more than that,she has a big loving heart and doesn't care about money at all. She was the one who accepted him,nomatter that he wasn't on her level,she literally pushed him in their circle of Manhatan's friends. But he dares to call her that way,he is very selfish , he was very bold when he started to date Blair while pushing Serena away very hard and with cold words. S deserves better! All i can see in the season 5 and 6 is that she literally forced him to date with her again,she persuiade him,she chased him to married her. Because if she didn't go extra mile for him,he would go away ,because he doesn't really care he was like "ok whatever" . he humiliate her a billion times. Even Nate,Steven and Ben loved her more and respected her.
@@saba2605 that doesn't mean she is an empty shell. That was from her heart. at least she wasn't lying,she was honest in her fealing and that she loved them both. She never faked it or had hidden motives. Yes it was hard for Nate and Dan , but it wasn't evil moves from her.
Fluff it’s my answer on all stuff you wrote about him. I agree that she is not an empty shell but everyone knows that writers will wrote a lot of stuff which in reality they don’t truly mean.
I found Dan and his dad way too judgemental to keep liking them. They do horrible stuff to but keep that Im a Saint and better than everyone look on their faces. Or wtf have you done now looks you now pouting their lips tilting their heads
i really don’t recall serena acting like she was better than dan? all she ever did was love him for who he was (blair would have NEVER dated season 1 dan). serena always chose him over every single guy. you can correct me if im wrong bc i don’t remember every scene of this show
@@GYMNASTICSxx0 It was dan who never saw serena as an equal. Season 1 dan was the only person in the world who saw serena as more than a pretty face, which is why serena fell hard for him. But after that he just saw her as a blonde ditz, he clearly felt superior to her
You’re dumb asf Lucas , Serena purposely wanted to date Dan because he WASNT a mega rich upper east side asshole. Well she found out poorer people can be assholes too (and Dan wasn’t even poor btw, the Humphrey’s were millionaires)
Why does everyone think he's an ass? That's not true at all. He's right in fact. He tried to be different, he tried to fit in her world, but she never let him forget that it's not his world which is why he created his own version of it......that doesn't make him an ass it just makes him an unknown force that was just showing to the world what the upper east class was already doing to each other.
Oh so its okay to just spread gossips because its the truth? its okay to humiliate a person just cause she made a mistake? lol they were high school then and very young. dan is overreacting and such a hypocrite. He cant accept the fact that serena and her friends are rich and hes not lol like dude get over it and just work hard so u can be rich too someday
Kartikey Bhatia The problem is he started Gossip Girl a long time ago but he wrote about her in a mean way and revealed her secrets even when they were dating and he supposedly loved her. He always judged everyone on the upper east side but he became just like them. And he was deceiving them since they didn’t know that while he called them out when they acted like bad friends he was being a bad friend too exposing their secrets which resulted in trouble for them. Yes what he wrote was true but he was using people he became close to and hurt their feelings often.
Everyone is so forgiving of Chuck but somehow Dan's the ass for saying mean things to Serena as for the people who commenting why Serena married him I mean for all we know they could have gone to couple therapy also maybe Serena could have gone to therapy for her own issues
I can't ever forgive Dan for saying that Serena is just an empty shell and all that stuff... He claims to love Serena and still, he's insulting her over and over again! With being Gossip Girl he exposed so many things that shouldn't be exposed, lied to everyone and hurt people without turning a hair and then he presents himself as the good guy..
Dan was different but changed because nobody respected him they always thought of him as an outsider and would never truly accept him. Dan did what he had to do he provided true facts although I love serena dan was right
@@alyssahuyett6637 Serena respected him! Only Serena accepted him the way he was. All her friends told her to quit him in season 1 ans 2 because he is poor,but she never listened to him,she didn't care about status of anybody.She dated ex-convicted Ben. So Dan is not right, Serena has a big loving heart and smart personality,all her friends was agains Dan but she stayed with him everytime.
You all hate Dan for this but he’s right, they all have done worse things to each other. Let’s remember that Chuck tried to s.a. Jenny and Serena, he traded Blair for an hotel. Meanwhile Serena slept with Nate while he was still dating Blair and also she was responsable for Blair not going to Yale. If you ask me those things are worse than publishing an article telling the truth
Serena wasn't responsible for Blair not going to Yale. That was Blair getting suspended for her schemes against the teacher that gave her a B. Yale found out and revoked her acceptance.
lol the tea is hes a hypocrite. if i were them i would sue him for writing an article about me even if its true. like no one gave him the permission and it ruins the reputation of those people.
Dan is the one in wrong obviously you can’t take the fact that she’s rich and bring it up in every conversation Serena never uses her money against Dan but Dan ALWAYS brings it up somehow someway Serena is right
this! I feel like i'd be lessupset about Dan's horrific treatment of her if she had at least done something to deserve it but she never did! She didn't lord her money over Dan's head, he just imagined that she did because Dan has an inferiority complex the size of Saudi Arabia and he uses that as justification for his sociopathic treatment of her. People defending Dan in this thread make me sick. He doesn't deserve praise or respect for beating them at their own game, he needs a bed in a mental ward and Serena probably a restraining order against him
Why does Serena end up with him??? She’s gorgeous, rich, she could have literally anyone. This all makes me so mad.... Dan was absolutely in the wrong and the fact he planned everything for them to get back together so he can write about her?? Like she was just a prop for him to boost his career and fame... she’s the one who allowed him to have any of these opportunities she gave him a chance and brought him in her world.
You guys going to have your opinions about Serena being selfish and Dan being an asshole towards the end but I think we can all agree that Nate deserved way better he was consistently honest throughout the whole show and people was manipulating him left and right even when he had to play a little bit dirty he did it the most honest way he can and why book this guy should have never been there
Dan's right. What he's doing with these chapters is nothing compared to what everyone else in the show has done to each other. Dan's just writing the hardcore truth about everyone and their shit. If you hate Dan then you must hate everyone else in the show too. Yes, Dan became an asshole, but its because everyone made him that way. Just like they made Vanessa a bitch and made Jenny one too. All they do is backstab, lie and throw each other under the bus, and Dan was just turning it around on them. I think that was badass. I wish he went easy on Serena only because I love them together and I wanted things to work out properly with them.
Notice how the Derena lovers seem to be Dan apologists? Nothing. I mean nothing the gang did to each other over the course of the show, compares to Dan manipulating friendships through an online gossip forum, then using that forum to spill the secrets his friends entrusted him with. Are y’all forgetting that he publicised Serena OD’ing? What kind of sicko does that?
@@sammyemmy4 Dan is not really gossip girl. the writers got that wrong. for most of the seasons it was never supposed to be him, they just made a mistake at the end
And why should it? If you think the only reason for you to be a good person is because it's going to get you some kind of reward, and when it doesn't you decide that it's not worth it being a fucking decent human being, you already not a very good person to begin with
suhasini negi in that show everyone used each other. Shit only reason Selena married him at the end was why? Bk he became famous n rich. Like Blair told her. 😂
This whole speech and interaction is facts. Serena did invite Dan to her world. And if he wasn't so obsessed with it, he could've kept his morals and just lived his own life. And Serena allows her friends to trash her every other day, but they expect more from Dan who is still human.
Allow me to explain why dan is an ass here Saying Serena never accepted him? Um she bloody dated him and loved him for the majority of the show, she never called him poor or Brooklyn, never degraded him from where he came from, never excluded him bc he was an outsider, she was if anything the only one and the first one to notice him out of the main 4. I get Blair,Nate and chuck never accepted him, but Serena did which is why him writing this about her is such a dick move. She was the one who let him into the world of the upper east side which he likes btw. So it may be true she does have daddy issues, doesn’t mean you can justify it bc he felt excluded by other people. Also bc he said he loved her, she makes a great point by saying if you love someone you couldn’t write those things about them. I mean if you really really love someone you would never write it in the first place let alone release into the public. Another grand grand issue. He totally lead her on. With the Vespa, pool date, chocolate strawberries, and the planned elevator. I mean he only did those things not bc he wanted her back but bc he was using her. Just think about it he did those things to completely toy with her feelings. He loved Blair and was just using Serena to distract himself. The only reason why they ended up together is bc he realised he “loved” her later on he wasn’t planning for a serious relationship with her. If he didn’t fall back in love with her he would have 1) used all those devices to make her love him bc he knew she did 2) written the expose 3) left her again heartbroken. The only thing that changed without his knowing was step 3) To this day I am left utterly confused on how the writers made Serena forgive him, it made her character look weak which she isn’t. Dan is an ass here. A complete asshole. He 1) plays with Serena’s feelings 2) betrays all of his friends and lovers 3)tries to justify it and doesn’t even admit he made a mistake 4) did I mention how he played with Serena’s feeling with the word love (he was the one who was whining about how love is an important thing to say in season1-2) whether you likes Serena or not doing this to anyone is just cruel, especially someone so vulnerable around you 5) he was gossip girl. And another thing with his justification about telling the truth, I mean if your a decent human being, sometimes even though it may be true doesn’t mean you need to shed light on it Eg. someone: my dad died Dan: *writes about how their dad died and how the person has issues bc of it* Someone: how dare you write this about me Dan: I did nothing wrong it’s the truth Well duh it’s the bloody truth doesn’t mean you can be cruel about for an expose for selfish reason especially if that person is someone who has only cared for you Dan is such a dick here. There is absolutely no way you can justify otherwise. Screw dan and his endgame. His character was so much better in season 1-2. Anyway stop defending dans actions here, accept that he was a good person who changed and let go of the sweet innocent dan from Brooklyn in season 1-2 bc obviously through this scene he is long gone by now. (Though dan was such a good character in season 1-2) One more thing: serenate forever. Chair forever. Season 1-2 dan can be a Serena endgame but season 6 dan can go die alone Dair was disgusting.
Chuck was a rapist. Dan may have done things that were pretencious, but unlike the others, he wasn't morally bankrupt. He didn't emotionally terrorize people like good old toxic Blair. He didn't attempt to rape girls. Like seriously Chuck can't be forgiven for that. And if he wanted to be, he had to completely become a new person. He chose to still be a bad person who only apologized for his actions without actually doing anything about it. Serena became a trash human after season 2. Nate is the only person who has a morals. Sadly he's sinfully boring. Chair is a literal garbage fire of a relationship. Dair was genuinely more enjoyable. And Dan and Serena should have just stayed friends. Serena and Nate can be boring together.
Mini toast dan was the worst character on gossip girl besides vanessa. he was a complete hypocrite. at least chuck and blair were on honest on the things they did. he judged everyone and acted like he didn’t do the same. serena loved dan truly and he manipulated her. she always included and defended him. dair was the worst couple on gossip girl. he manipulated her just to be with him. he was selfish. he was the one who sent the video into gossip girl about blair confessing her feeling to chuck at her first wedding. did i mention he was gossip girl? gossip girl completely ruined their lives. he can’t be forgiven for the things he did. just how you think the other characters can’t be forgiven for their actions. it’s a show that is unrealistic and portrays the rich that can supposedly get away with anything. so if you don’t like that then why are you watching it?
dan is right lol serena also did many bad things to her friends and never apologized or fixed it bc she somehow twist it around to make her look like the victim but they all come running to save her when she’s in trouble , dan was right about how they enjoy ruining each other bc that’s not what real friends do , maybe it’s bc of the environment they lived in and how rich they are but even tho blair and serena friendship was cute but it was unstable and problematic even when they are adults they would always fight over everything and serena would do anything to hurt blair not caring about the consequences tbh she didn’t use her brain as much even after high school i wished serena would get a character development and i kinda saw it happening in s3 but then they ruined it in the last 3 seasons making her go back to being unmature and dumb not even having a dream of her own or a job .
from the comments i have read some are saying "what about what chuck did to Blair!" What about what dan did? He humiliated Blair at her own wedding just for his own sake and he was just forgiven in a second because "oh i did it for love" but when chuck did something for love he was evil and a monster. The only reason dan gets away with it is because he is an "outsider" and "different" but you can see once he gets the money and fame he becomes exactly like the others he hates so much. They ruined dans character from season 4 onwards. He turned into a hypocrite.
lol he deserved it for being such a hypocrite. He acts like hes better than them when hes not to be honest. at least jenny had the guts to stay away from the drama unlike this nutjob
Dan was good. Serena. Chuck. Blair. Vanessa And everyone else he was always around were bad. He adapted to his surroundings. You can’t hate Dan without hating everyone else. He is a by product of the upper east side.
Dan and Serena ended up together. However, they deserved strong character development as the season progressed. If Dan’s a gossip girl, he should have the strongest character. It felt like Dan and Serena was just an early fling which was strong in first and second season but after that makers wanted to establish Dan and Blair relationship which was going good but everything changes and Chuck ended up with Blair and Dan with Serena, this is where I was disappointed with the makers. Dan would have been good with either Blair or Serena. Makers messed up, last season was rushed.
yes dan and blair was the one true pairing that you could really tell were supposed to end up together. its a shame they ruined such a beautiful healthy relationship.
I think the reason they made chair and derena endgame was because those ships had more chemistry than any other ships in the show and in tv shows it’s really just only about chemistry, toxic or not
dan got so cocky from the start of season 5 with his story's and Blair. I used to like dan but he turned exactly into what he hated he was such a hypocrite.
Unpopular thoughts, Dan is right and I don't like Serena at all. She always finds a way to make things about her. I don't understand why she attacks Blair or anyone for that matter. She was mad at her dad when he tried to have a connection with Lola/Charlie yet her mum clearly gave her a reason she couldn't see her dad when she wanted to. She was mad at Blair for kissing Dan but when she had a chance, she didn't choose him. I still don't know why she hates Jenny. She's always mean to her mother And the part that annoyed me the most was when she tried so hard to ruin Blair's relationship with Dan. I mean, Blair would've been so much happier without Serena as her so called best friend. Also, she never pays for anything she does. Lol i needed this rant
happy feet I respectfully disagree, I feel like Blair was completely selfish while Serena tried to do things to make everyone else happy, other than a few situations.
Serena trying to make people happy? Don’t make me laugh. Don’t forget her whole story started with sleeping with her best friend’s boyfriend and then lying about it. When Dair happened, at least Serena and dan were not together
K. Desai I like how you said respectfully👍😁 and I see your point but most of the time she really just wanted to do what makes HER happy without thinking about the consequences. There's usually much more damage when she schemes. How was ruining Yale for Blair, printing out the GG blasts for the Prince's mother, manipulating Dan into making a sextape pleasing anyone other than herself. She does everything for her
happy feet haha thanks, I didn’t wanna start anything in the comment section, I was just stating my opinion :) And I see ur point, cuz when Serena does scheme, it has caused more damage in the past especially because she isn’t a pro schemer like Blair lol. But at first, Serena gave up Yale for Blair, and when Blair started messing with her is when Serena got msd
I don't know if my mind says the right thing but how did Dan and Serena end up with each other? I mean, clearly Dan never felt the same way again and Serena would only get interested in him back if another girl shows up in his arms. You know, like when someone else holds your toy that you were supposed to let go. Edit: there's a reason why you need to be careful in dating, either the background or if the other is a writer. Writers are powerful. Nothing could be more painful than be killed with words.
I try watching again this series almost every year but always i was not able to watch until last past because of Dan. How did he change like that? I love used to her.. Reaalyyy i feel so angry about that!
i’m gonna be brave and put this out there. All the characters in the show excluding Nate and Eric and Rufus and Cyrus and Dorota, were just as bad as Bart Bass. ✋😶🤚 come on. Blair the classicist, insecure bully? Chuck the attempted rapist and abuser? Serena the selfish, backstabbing whore? Jenny the try-hard mini Blair and Serena combined? Dan the literal mastermind of all this? Lily being Lily Van Der Woodsen?
How can people side with Dan? I can understand feeling this way in high school when he was a nobody being picked on. But now he’s a 22 year old man. It’s not a great look. Most of these people are his friends now, and he still burned all his bridges just to make a name for himself. Even if he’s writing the “truth”, the truth is subjective. Who’s writing the truth about him? That he became a petty, manipulative person who’s biggest gripe is he wasn’t born rich, or that his only talent is writing about the “elites” he went to high school with. Dan could’ve become a writer on his own steam. He didn’t need to stay in their orbit if he found their lifestyle so grotesque, but he wanted to be one of them. He always did. Doesn’t anyone else find that a tad hypocritical?
To be honest it was like Ross and Rachel thing.. like Ross made I hate Rachel group!! Dan was in love with Serena but the problem was she was never accessible!! He knew she is the it girl and a guy from Brooklyn will never end up with her!! So he just frustrated his love into hatred!! At last he got that!!
He's gaslighting her. Dan was so obsessed with Serena, stalked her, made Gossip Girl to enter her society and world, and now he's the one trying to villainize Serena and her friends. Typical toxic man
He was gossip girl therefore he has never been a good guy. NJBC were horrible to each other and they got over it all the time cause that's how they were, it's not a good, healthy dynamic but they were family to each other despite the hurt and pain. Dan and his circle knew this and still wanted in. If you hate them, why do you want to be with them? Walk away, be actually mature and 'good' to do so. But he didn't want that, he wanted to be with them, and be like them. And again, he was gossip girl, he was like them since the beginning and still wanted to have moral superiority over people who at least knew they were horrible 😭 You can't say you were good when from the very start you were manipulating and harassing these people. NJBC did very messed up things but they knew that and didn't pretend to be different, which is the difference with Dan. He fr thought he was doing the lord's work like don't piss me off annoying flop
Y’all can blame Serena n Blair for who Dan became in season 6 especially Blair she broke his heart n went back to hating him again which is the writer’s fault making Dan the villain n bad boy in season 6
Poor by living in and owning loft in Brooklyn and going to one of the most prestigious school in NY where children of the elite going to?! I want to be 'poor' like that too.
You were supposed to be different. Dan: I used to be. Got me nowhere. So now I'm the same.
Best quote ever

That's some real shit though...

Durell Patterson fact
The others didn't lie to each other for years, they also didn't write all those hateful things... And it isn't even about Gossip Girl for me, I could have forgive that one, it is about posting that mean chapter about Serena! He called her an empty shell that is easy to manipulate, you can't say something like that to your girlfriend! I've loved Dan, I really did, and it breaks my heart to write that but he's a bad guy, a really bad guy.
Perfectly said 👏
Durell Patterson I want to frame this comment. This is the character analysis we need.
Literally I'm with Dan the whole time, everything he said was true
Maybe it was but talking about how Serena was easy because of her daddy issues is kind of crossing a line
Agreeed, everybody hates on him and I get it. Really.. but the thing that dazzles me is how he was so smart throughout the show, he wanted something, he needed that and he got what he wanted at the end too. I am speechless
Serena: i supposed you were different.
Dan: i used to be...got me nowhere
Dang line😉
The way he delivered that last line was perfect and this scene show just exactly what the upper east side is and who are the puppets and who are holding the strings
this show didn’t feel like it wrapped anything up it just felt like everything stopped
What’s worse is he was trying to rationalize everything he did with Gossip Girl.
But, on the other hand he told the honest truth. But the most brutal, hurtful version of the truth through the Gossip Girl blog.
He told the truth in this scene. I have a feeling he was completely sincere here.
Still doesn’t make it any less sad though… this scene I mean….
Poor Serena…
The really sad thing is that Dan deep down was and is right.
You hate Dan for he did to Serena and don't hate Chuck for everything he did to Blair 🙄
Yania Cochero exactly, it doesn't make sense😒 i mean he traded her for a hotel, what's worse than that?🤷🏽♀️🤦🏾♀️
Well objectivity is lost on this fanbase.
Yania... I hate two characters. 🙄👍 But Dan is a hipocrity.

@Kaleela Edwards delusional. They don’t know they are bad people. They think the world revolves around them. They are spoiled children who never worked for anything. The adversity they go through is all manufactured drama. They still have millions or billions waiting for them.
I felt sorry for Serena, but Dan was so damn right about all of it.
Dan was a manipulative liar, he never loved Serena, just the idea of her. Ever since the 9th grade he wrote to about her in a cruel way

@@AngelicMistyStorm I live love love the show, but I feel serena should of ended up caring more about her career than her love life, it would round her out nicely and not make her seem so shallow. And Dan is the worst. He should of ended up with vanessa. They could of been pretensious together
i can't believe she married him. i don't understand how y'all support him for calling Serena an empty shell. We all know that she is more than that,she has a big loving heart and doesn't care about money at all. She was the one who accepted him,nomatter that he wasn't on her level,she literally pushed him in their circle of Manhatan's friends. But he dares to call her that way,he is very selfish , he was very bold when he started to date Blair while pushing Serena away very hard and with cold words. S deserves better! All i can see in the season 5 and 6 is that she literally forced him to date with her again,she persuiade him,she chased him to married her. Because if she didn't go extra mile for him,he would go away ,because he doesn't really care he was like "ok whatever" . he humiliate her a billion times. Even Nate,Steven and Ben loved her more and respected her.
Fluff you forget that he was waiting her two season? She couldn’t decide with whom to be, Dan or Nate?
@@saba2605 that doesn't mean she is an empty shell. That was from her heart. at least she wasn't lying,she was honest in her fealing and that she loved them both. She never faked it or had hidden motives. Yes it was hard for Nate and Dan , but it wasn't evil moves from her.
Fluff it’s my answer on all stuff you wrote about him. I agree that she is not an empty shell but everyone knows that writers will wrote a lot of stuff which in reality they don’t truly mean.
He never deserve Serena
I found Dan and his dad way too judgemental to keep liking them. They do horrible stuff to but keep that Im a Saint and better than everyone look on their faces. Or wtf have you done now looks you now pouting their lips tilting their heads
I hate how everyone hates on Dan he was sick of feeling like Serena’s charity case she never saw him as an equal
then he should have kept away from them lmfao hes so annoying
i really don’t recall serena acting like she was better than dan? all she ever did was love him for who he was (blair would have NEVER dated season 1 dan). serena always chose him over every single guy. you can correct me if im wrong bc i don’t remember every scene of this show
@@GYMNASTICSxx0 It was dan who never saw serena as an equal. Season 1 dan was the only person in the world who saw serena as more than a pretty face, which is why serena fell hard for him. But after that he just saw her as a blonde ditz, he clearly felt superior to her
You’re dumb asf Lucas
, Serena purposely wanted to date Dan because he WASNT a mega rich upper east side asshole. Well she found out poorer people can be assholes too (and Dan wasn’t even poor btw, the Humphrey’s were millionaires)
Dan kept pursuing her he hated her realtionship with Nate.
Why does everyone think he's an ass? That's not true at all. He's right in fact. He tried to be different, he tried to fit in her world, but she never let him forget that it's not his world which is why he created his own version of it......that doesn't make him an ass it just makes him an unknown force that was just showing to the world what the upper east class was already doing to each other.
Kartikey Bhatia I did not like at first but ended up agreeing with him and Bart
Serena has always been friendly to him! She's not arrogant in any way! Dan has been posting rude stuff all the time and he insulted Serena!
@@yukijames1321 Where was she being arrogant and selfish?
Oh so its okay to just spread gossips because its the truth? its okay to humiliate a person just cause she made a mistake? lol they were high school then and very young. dan is overreacting and such a hypocrite. He cant accept the fact that serena and her friends are rich and hes not lol like dude get over it and just work hard so u can be rich too someday
Kartikey Bhatia The problem is he started Gossip Girl a long time ago but he wrote about her in a mean way and revealed her secrets even when they were dating and he supposedly loved her. He always judged everyone on the upper east side but he became just like them. And he was deceiving them since they didn’t know that while he called them out when they acted like bad friends he was being a bad friend too exposing their secrets which resulted in trouble for them. Yes what he wrote was true but he was using people he became close to and hurt their feelings often.
1:50 Dan was never different since he was gossip girl all along.
Everyone is so forgiving of Chuck but somehow Dan's the ass for saying mean things to Serena as for the people who commenting why Serena married him I mean for all we know they could have gone to couple therapy also maybe Serena could have gone to therapy for her own issues
I just see Joe from “YOU”
Go home kid
he was dan first
I can't ever forgive Dan for saying that Serena is just an empty shell and all that stuff... He claims to love Serena and still, he's insulting her over and over again! With being Gossip Girl he exposed so many things that shouldn't be exposed, lied to everyone and hurt people without turning a hair and then he presents himself as the good guy..
mc Julia Dan wouldn’t of sent anything If he didn’t have people sending in tips and it’s not like he’s not telling the truth.
Dan was different but changed because nobody respected him they always thought of him as an outsider and would never truly accept him. Dan did what he had to do he provided true facts although I love serena dan was right
@@alyssahuyett6637 Serena respected him! Only Serena accepted him the way he was. All her friends told her to quit him in season 1 ans 2 because he is poor,but she never listened to him,she didn't care about status of anybody.She dated ex-convicted Ben. So Dan is not right, Serena has a big loving heart and smart personality,all her friends was agains Dan but she stayed with him everytime.
Dan is gossip girl?!!!
@@raniamohamed733 yes
You all hate Dan for this but he’s right, they all have done worse things to each other. Let’s remember that Chuck tried to s.a. Jenny and Serena, he traded Blair for an hotel. Meanwhile Serena slept with Nate while he was still dating Blair and also she was responsable for Blair not going to Yale. If you ask me those things are worse than publishing an article telling the truth
Serena wasn't responsible for Blair not going to Yale. That was Blair getting suspended for her schemes against the teacher that gave her a B. Yale found out and revoked her acceptance.
1:39 tea
Jackie Burkhart lmao how is that tea
lol the tea is hes a hypocrite. if i were them i would sue him for writing an article about me even if its true. like no one gave him the permission and it ruins the reputation of those people.
Loli they ruin their own reputation
@@kimochiiioniichan3613 no actually he is right
Dan is the one in wrong obviously you can’t take the fact that she’s rich and bring it up in every conversation Serena never uses her money against Dan but Dan ALWAYS brings it up somehow someway Serena is right
this! I feel like i'd be lessupset about Dan's horrific treatment of her if she had at least done something to deserve it but she never did! She didn't lord her money over Dan's head, he just imagined that she did because Dan has an inferiority complex the size of Saudi Arabia and he uses that as justification for his sociopathic treatment of her. People defending Dan in this thread make me sick. He doesn't deserve praise or respect for beating them at their own game, he needs a bed in a mental ward and Serena probably a restraining order against him
Why does Serena end up with him??? She’s gorgeous, rich, she could have literally anyone. This all makes me so mad.... Dan was absolutely in the wrong and the fact he planned everything for them to get back together so he can write about her?? Like she was just a prop for him to boost his career and fame... she’s the one who allowed him to have any of these opportunities she gave him a chance and brought him in her world.
who tf cares like it’s a tv show lmfao chuck and blair are way more toxic than derena yet nobody seems to care about that
Because he is too damn strong. A rock character. It was natural for Serena to submit, but also she loved him.
You guys going to have your opinions about Serena being selfish and Dan being an asshole towards the end but I think we can all agree that Nate deserved way better he was consistently honest throughout the whole show and people was manipulating him left and right even when he had to play a little bit dirty he did it the most honest way he can and why book this guy should have never been there
Dan's right. What he's doing with these chapters is nothing compared to what everyone else in the show has done to each other. Dan's just writing the hardcore truth about everyone and their shit.
If you hate Dan then you must hate everyone else in the show too. Yes, Dan became an asshole, but its because everyone made him that way. Just like they made Vanessa a bitch and made Jenny one too. All they do is backstab, lie and throw each other under the bus, and Dan was just turning it around on them. I think that was badass.
I wish he went easy on Serena only because I love them together and I wanted things to work out properly with them.
Double standard much.
Notice how the Derena lovers seem to be Dan apologists?
Nothing. I mean nothing the gang did to each other over the course of the show, compares to Dan manipulating friendships through an online gossip forum, then using that forum to spill the secrets his friends entrusted him with. Are y’all forgetting that he publicised Serena OD’ing? What kind of sicko does that?
@@sammyemmy4 Dan is not really gossip girl. the writers got that wrong. for most of the seasons it was never supposed to be him, they just made a mistake at the end
Exactly!
@@sammyemmy4 TV show kind lol. And what did Chuck to Blair? Nothing right? Double standards? Of course not lol
It’s true.Having ethics,being good doesn’t get you anywhere.
And why should it? If you think the only reason for you to be a good person is because it's going to get you some kind of reward, and when it doesn't you decide that it's not worth it being a fucking decent human being, you already not a very good person to begin with
@@Nabruu thank you
Unfortunate but true
The people that think this never get anywhere anyway because they were never good people in the first place
Dan is so right
Dan’s excuses were honestly bullshit
Adriana Sumpter that’s what I believe
Dan wasn't even wrong in what he wrote about Serena. She had Daddy issues, and was in dire need of some therapy
Dan is such an **s, i cant believe serena ends up with him and not with Nate, that proves major daddy issues
pama anog yesss !!! She should have married Nate . Hes always making Serena feel about herself, always putting her down .
So true he was an asshole......always. ....still she ended up with him....its such an abusive relationship. ....
suhasini negi don’t blame dan for been right about everything. Facts are facts.
HAVANA SCP if facts are facts why lie to someone that you love them....he just used her.....people who love don't do that
suhasini negi in that show everyone used each other. Shit only reason Selena married him at the end was why? Bk he became famous n rich. Like Blair told her. 😂
This whole speech and interaction is facts. Serena did invite Dan to her world. And if he wasn't so obsessed with it, he could've kept his morals and just lived his own life. And Serena allows her friends to trash her every other day, but they expect more from Dan who is still human.
Allow me to explain why dan is an ass here
Saying Serena never accepted him? Um she bloody dated him and loved him for the majority of the show, she never called him poor or Brooklyn, never degraded him from where he came from, never excluded him bc he was an outsider, she was if anything the only one and the first one to notice him out of the main 4. I get Blair,Nate and chuck never accepted him, but Serena did which is why him writing this about her is such a dick move. She was the one who let him into the world of the upper east side which he likes btw. So it may be true she does have daddy issues, doesn’t mean you can justify it bc he felt excluded by other people. Also bc he said he loved her, she makes a great point by saying if you love someone you couldn’t write those things about them. I mean if you really really love someone you would never write it in the first place let alone release into the public. Another grand grand issue. He totally lead her on. With the Vespa, pool date, chocolate strawberries, and the planned elevator. I mean he only did those things not bc he wanted her back but bc he was using her. Just think about it he did those things to completely toy with her feelings. He loved Blair and was just using Serena to distract himself. The only reason why they ended up together is bc he realised he “loved” her later on he wasn’t planning for a serious relationship with her. If he didn’t fall back in love with her he would have 1) used all those devices to make her love him bc he knew she did 2) written the expose 3) left her again heartbroken. The only thing that changed without his knowing was step 3)
To this day I am left utterly confused on how the writers made Serena forgive him, it made her character look weak which she isn’t. Dan is an ass here. A complete asshole. He 1) plays with Serena’s feelings 2) betrays all of his friends and lovers 3)tries to justify it and doesn’t even admit he made a mistake 4) did I mention how he played with Serena’s feeling with the word love (he was the one who was whining about how love is an important thing to say in season1-2) whether you likes Serena or not doing this to anyone is just cruel, especially someone so vulnerable around you 5) he was gossip girl.
And another thing with his justification about telling the truth, I mean if your a decent human being, sometimes even though it may be true doesn’t mean you need to shed light on it
Eg.
someone: my dad died
Dan: *writes about how their dad died and how the person has issues bc of it*
Someone: how dare you write this about me
Dan: I did nothing wrong it’s the truth
Well duh it’s the bloody truth doesn’t mean you can be cruel about for an expose for selfish reason especially if that person is someone who has only cared for you
Dan is such a dick here. There is absolutely no way you can justify otherwise. Screw dan and his endgame. His character was so much better in season 1-2.
Anyway stop defending dans actions here, accept that he was a good person who changed and let go of the sweet innocent dan from Brooklyn in season 1-2 bc obviously through this scene he is long gone by now. (Though dan was such a good character in season 1-2)
One more thing: serenate forever. Chair forever. Season 1-2 dan can be a Serena endgame but season 6 dan can go die alone
Dair was disgusting.
Chuck was a rapist. Dan may have done things that were pretencious, but unlike the others, he wasn't morally bankrupt. He didn't emotionally terrorize people like good old toxic Blair. He didn't attempt to rape girls. Like seriously Chuck can't be forgiven for that. And if he wanted to be, he had to completely become a new person. He chose to still be a bad person who only apologized for his actions without actually doing anything about it. Serena became a trash human after season 2. Nate is the only person who has a morals. Sadly he's sinfully boring. Chair is a literal garbage fire of a relationship. Dair was genuinely more enjoyable. And Dan and Serena should have just stayed friends. Serena and Nate can be boring together.
Mini toast dan was the worst character on gossip girl besides vanessa. he was a complete hypocrite. at least chuck and blair were on honest on the things they did. he judged everyone and acted like he didn’t do the same. serena loved dan truly and he manipulated her. she always included and defended him. dair was the worst couple on gossip girl. he manipulated her just to be with him. he was selfish. he was the one who sent the video into gossip girl about blair confessing her feeling to chuck at her first wedding. did i mention he was gossip girl? gossip girl completely ruined their lives. he can’t be forgiven for the things he did. just how you think the other characters can’t be forgiven for their actions. it’s a show that is unrealistic and portrays the rich that can supposedly get away with anything. so if you don’t like that then why are you watching it?
Gotdamn some thesis statements here
dan is right lol serena also did many bad things to her friends and never apologized or fixed it bc she somehow twist it around to make her look like the victim but they all come running to save her when she’s in trouble , dan was right about how they enjoy ruining each other bc that’s not what real friends do , maybe it’s bc of the environment they lived in and how rich they are but even tho blair and serena friendship was cute but it was unstable and problematic even when they are adults they would always fight over everything and serena would do anything to hurt blair not caring about the consequences tbh she didn’t use her brain as much even after high school i wished serena would get a character development and i kinda saw it happening in s3 but then they ruined it in the last 3 seasons making her go back to being unmature and dumb not even having a dream of her own or a job .
Blake Lively is so, so, so beautiful.
from the comments i have read some are saying "what about what chuck did to Blair!" What about what dan did? He humiliated Blair at her own wedding just for his own sake and he was just forgiven in a second because "oh i did it for love" but when chuck did something for love he was evil and a monster. The only reason dan gets away with it is because he is an "outsider" and "different" but you can see once he gets the money and fame he becomes exactly like the others he hates so much. They ruined dans character from season 4 onwards. He turned into a hypocrite.
so casually cruel in the name of being honest 😭
I think Serena’s relationships never last bcs she never takes time to get over her ex’s and develop self worth.
👏
He’s right about everything. And they know he’s right. They just can’t stand hearing the truth
Dan was 100% Right Serena Never Respected Him or truly accepted him
lol he deserved it for being such a hypocrite. He acts like hes better than them when hes not to be honest. at least jenny had the guts to stay away from the drama unlike this nutjob
Serena did accept him. It. Dan who could never accept defend
Are you serios? She was the ONLY one who accepted him and dated him, despite everyone considering him an outsider
Dan was treated so miserably
And at the ending when he became the same
People hate him
When he finally stopped simping for Serena 💀
Dan was good. Serena. Chuck. Blair. Vanessa And everyone else he was always around were bad. He adapted to his surroundings. You can’t hate Dan without hating everyone else. He is a by product of the upper east side.
Y’all wth is wrong with this comment section!? It doesn’t matter if what Dan was saying had some truth to it. It was a disgusting horrible thing to do
Dan and Serena ended up together. However, they deserved strong character development as the season progressed. If Dan’s a gossip girl, he should have the strongest character. It felt like Dan and Serena was just an early fling which was strong in first and second season but after that makers wanted to establish Dan and Blair relationship which was going good but everything changes and Chuck ended up with Blair and Dan with Serena, this is where I was disappointed with the makers. Dan would have been good with either Blair or Serena. Makers messed up, last season was rushed.
yes dan and blair was the one true pairing that you could really tell were supposed to end up together. its a shame they ruined such a beautiful healthy relationship.
I think the reason they made chair and derena endgame was because those ships had more chemistry than any other ships in the show and in tv shows it’s really just only about chemistry, toxic or not
The entire godawful season was just hastily thrown together chair fanfiction.
That hurt me, I’ve always been Serena in my head
They all hated him because they knew he was right. He's just being honest.
Anyone ever heard the term “can’t fight fire with fire”? Hm.
dan got so cocky from the start of season 5 with his story's and Blair. I used to like dan but he turned exactly into what he hated he was such a hypocrite.
Okay, I have to put this out. Dan writing about Serena was maybe a dick move, but, he wrote the truth. And anyways Serena deserved it.
She didn’t deserve it
@@lilliablotsworth7324 lol yes she did
@@moonbabe1163 no, she didn’t ... what did she do so wrong to deserve her entire life going on the Internet?
@@lilliablotsworth7324 Fucking pretty much half the city, including Nate's cousin.
@@lilliablotsworth7324 sleep with Blair’s bf twice. She makes everything about herself. Even Dan saw that. So yes she deserved it.
Unpopular thoughts, Dan is right and I don't like Serena at all.
She always finds a way to make things about her. I don't understand why she attacks Blair or anyone for that matter. She was mad at her dad when he tried to have a connection with Lola/Charlie yet her mum clearly gave her a reason she couldn't see her dad when she wanted to. She was mad at Blair for kissing Dan but when she had a chance, she didn't choose him. I still don't know why she hates Jenny.
She's always mean to her mother
And the part that annoyed me the most was when she tried so hard to ruin Blair's relationship with Dan. I mean, Blair would've been so much happier without Serena as her so called best friend.
Also, she never pays for anything she does.
Lol i needed this rant
happy feet I respectfully disagree, I feel like Blair was completely selfish while Serena tried to do things to make everyone else happy, other than a few situations.
Serena trying to make people happy? Don’t make me laugh. Don’t forget her whole story started with sleeping with her best friend’s boyfriend and then lying about it. When Dair happened, at least Serena and dan were not together
K. Desai I like how you said respectfully👍😁 and I see your point but most of the time she really just wanted to do what makes HER happy without thinking about the consequences. There's usually much more damage when she schemes. How was ruining Yale for Blair, printing out the GG blasts for the Prince's mother, manipulating Dan into making a sextape pleasing anyone other than herself. She does everything for her
H A But Blair was jumping between 3 guys the whole time anyways. And she used to disrespect dan so much so dair didn’t make any sense to me anyways
happy feet haha thanks, I didn’t wanna start anything in the comment section, I was just stating my opinion :) And I see ur point, cuz when Serena does scheme, it has caused more damage in the past especially because she isn’t a pro schemer like Blair lol. But at first, Serena gave up Yale for Blair, and when Blair started messing with her is when Serena got msd
Dan is my favourite actor in GG
I don't know if my mind says the right thing but how did Dan and Serena end up with each other? I mean, clearly Dan never felt the same way again and Serena would only get interested in him back if another girl shows up in his arms. You know, like when someone else holds your toy that you were supposed to let go.
Edit: there's a reason why you need to be careful in dating, either the background or if the other is a writer. Writers are powerful. Nothing could be more painful than be killed with words.
He is right
I try watching again this series almost every year but always i was not able to watch until last past because of Dan. How did he change like that? I love used to her.. Reaalyyy i feel so angry about that!
I was with Serena all the way in this scene. Hate Dan with a burning passion.
Dan was right he had a major point even though it was mean and made him an asshole still he was right.
blake lively is gorgeous
i’m gonna be brave and put this out there. All the characters in the show excluding Nate and Eric and Rufus and Cyrus and Dorota, were just as bad as Bart Bass. ✋😶🤚
come on. Blair the classicist, insecure bully? Chuck the attempted rapist and abuser? Serena the selfish, backstabbing whore? Jenny the try-hard mini Blair and Serena combined? Dan the literal mastermind of all this? Lily being Lily Van Der Woodsen?
dan being gossip girl made no sense
Dan doesn’t deserve Serena what he did to her
Dan haters all have double standards.
Serena deserved it in some way and Dan was just telling the truth
Dan, my favorite from GG ❤️
How can people side with Dan? I can understand feeling this way in high school when he was a nobody being picked on. But now he’s a 22 year old man. It’s not a great look. Most of these people are his friends now, and he still burned all his bridges just to make a name for himself. Even if he’s writing the “truth”, the truth is subjective. Who’s writing the truth about him? That he became a petty, manipulative person who’s biggest gripe is he wasn’t born rich, or that his only talent is writing about the “elites” he went to high school with. Dan could’ve become a writer on his own steam. He didn’t need to stay in their orbit if he found their lifestyle so grotesque, but he wanted to be one of them. He always did. Doesn’t anyone else find that a tad hypocritical?
Blair the best character 😂👌
hate dan all you want but he’s spitting facts
Dan should be saying this to blair not serena
To be honest it was like Ross and Rachel thing.. like Ross made I hate Rachel group!! Dan was in love with Serena but the problem was she was never accessible!! He knew she is the it girl and a guy from Brooklyn will never end up with her!! So he just frustrated his love into hatred!! At last he got that!!
Dan brought the best in Serena. I never really liked her character but I truly felt bad for her here.
Man the hate for Dan is strong in this comment section, what the actual fuck?
Hypocrisy on the maximum level 1:39
It's a good thing they chilled later.
Serena realizing what she did 😆
He's gaslighting her. Dan was so obsessed with Serena, stalked her, made Gossip Girl to enter her society and world, and now he's the one trying to villainize Serena and her friends. Typical toxic man
He was gossip girl therefore he has never been a good guy. NJBC were horrible to each other and they got over it all the time cause that's how they were, it's not a good, healthy dynamic but they were family to each other despite the hurt and pain. Dan and his circle knew this and still wanted in. If you hate them, why do you want to be with them? Walk away, be actually mature and 'good' to do so. But he didn't want that, he wanted to be with them, and be like them. And again, he was gossip girl, he was like them since the beginning and still wanted to have moral superiority over people who at least knew they were horrible 😭
You can't say you were good when from the very start you were manipulating and harassing these people. NJBC did very messed up things but they knew that and didn't pretend to be different, which is the difference with Dan. He fr thought he was doing the lord's work like don't piss me off annoying flop
Lmfao its funny when their game is played on them, they hate it.
😂 bro literally beat the system
Song?
Y’all can blame Serena n Blair for who Dan became in season 6 especially Blair she broke his heart n went back to hating him again which is the writer’s fault making Dan the villain n bad boy in season 6
all i see is joe goldberg. what the fuck.
Poor by living in and owning loft in Brooklyn and going to one of the most prestigious school in NY where children of the elite going to?! I want to be 'poor' like that too.
The Humphrey is really the worst characters in this show!
