The Men of Gossip Girl
Time to begin this new refreshed blog with some classic American television.
Something I like to call, Gossip Girl.
Oh. What. A. Show.
In the beginning, I ran from gossip girl, I said I cannot handle overly attractive people being mean to one another, until I let my guard down for a shining moment, and bestowed this gift upon my dear eyes and soul.
Honestly, Gossip Girl is such a treat ! Everyone has always said, Brooke this seems like the show for you, and I always try to do the opposite of what people expect from me because of my little Aquarius heart (sorry for the astrology cringe) but I stumbled upon early Blake Lively and I LOVED IT.
I may discuss the entirety of the show on a later date (my apologies for saying that far too often, but I absolutely do not care hehe) But for nowwww I am discussing the heartthrobs of gossip girl, let us begin.
~
Nathaniel (Nate) Archibald
The first man from the upper east side that we must discuss is our dear friend Nathaniel. Now, dear Nathaniel is arguably the most attractive of the bunch and the sweetest, he's got these soulful blue eyes that tells you that he owns a juicer and walks his dog everyday at 6 a.m. and will buy you tulips on his way from work. Absolutely, darling.
Nathaniel caught my eye even further when he became (spoiler) an editor (a dream).
However, although Nathaniel may seem like the perfect man in the butcher shop, he's a bit of a bore, his character complexity begins to diminish as the show gets nearer and nearer to the end, and his story arc has no development whatsoever, now I don't want to blame dear Nathaniel for the faults of a writer, butttttt Nathaniel didn't have much of a personality to begin with, he was just rich boy from next door.
You can count on him to bring the cake to a birthday party that's for sure, but honestly it'd be so easy to read his tarot fortune, you already got him figured out from his lightly combed hair to his relaxed jeans, he is simply just too easy to read. I would quickly bore of him, because I am a terrible person. But I give Nathaniel hope, he seems like the boy that wins in the end (and this is not implying to anything, my apologies)
And personally he won my heart for most of the show until I met another upper east side boi, more on him later.

Dan Humphrey
Our next boy, hails from Brooklyn, a city where Blair doesn't even deem livable.
When I first met dear Dan, with his terrible haircut and his negative grungy view on life, I absolutely hated him. I had no idea how he landed with gorgeous Blake lively, ahem Serena Van Der Woodsen, with that terrible head of his.
Exhibit A:
Are you gagging too? He looks like a child kidnapper or a psychopathic murderer. It's absolutely horrid.
And I have this view of Dan for most of the show, which he does have so much potential to be a quality boi, but he is a selfish arse, and a stalker, but that is all I have to say to remain spoiler free. Yes, yes. Although this show did come out ages ago, so if you don't know what happens yet I am mildly disappointed.
Now, Dan, seems like the type of guy that I would end up dating in real life, he likes to read, has curly hair, and is fairly chill and laid-back for the most part. (I always say that Nate is the guy I would go for, but Dan is probably the guy I'd date, funny life funny life)
And, I genuinely begin to love Dan (I know I was shocked too) towards the latter seasons, he just becomes more relatable and his humor and one liners sum up most of my thoughts, I was like finally this is a Dan I pay Netflix for. (I actually don't, my mom does).
Especially when he becomes friends with Blair, it was definitely Dan's prime time, he even looked better and dressed better, ahh Blair is such a good influence I swear.
Here we see him with Blair, if I didn't know his past and his future, I'd hit that.
More examples, I mean look at that perfect hair and jawline, gasp!
Overall, Dan had my heart for probably 5 seconds, but only when he was scheming with Blair and dressing nice. However for past and future transgressions, Dan is labeled as a grade A dick. Because initially you don't expect much from him, you think he's whatever and slightly annoying and he makes you think that he's the underdog and the secret hero, when in reality we all know it's Nate, so step off of your pedestal Daniel, xoxo.

Charles (Chuck) Bass
Yes, we have finally reached the man of the hour. And no please don't attack me, I love a good Chuck Bass. And, yes in the beginning I thought he was absolutely revolting and nowhere nearly as good looking as heroic Nathaniel (who I had a crush on for most of the show, ahhh what a dreamboat) but something about Chuck's charm or multi colored bowties, caught me entirely.
His entire story arc and character development in the show is probably one of the most impressive ones I have seen, his love for Blair transcends him, and it's wonderful.
His love and admiration for Blair, his sacrificial love for Blair, is enough to make anyone swoon and rip their heart out for him.
After season 1, when he decides to fix his terrible hair (I guess it was a season 1 trend) he looks rather attractive in a British captain of the guard sort of sense. Oh he is such a dreamboat, what a brooding, gorgeous face.
Chuck overall is very humorous, witty, snarky, egotistical (but in an endearing way), caring (later in the show), and just a fun multi complex, edgy boi. Aka Brooke's dream.
In the beginning of watching Gossip Girl, you think "I love Nate, I shall cheer for Dan, and for Chuck you hope he just fixes his hair and stops wearing scarves." But oh boy oh boy did I underestimate sir Bass. He is after all, Chuck Bass, and I should have known from the beginning that he would have captured my heart.
Oh that suave man he is, although he is not perfect (and he admits it, unlike some people, sir Daniel) he is constantly trying to atone for his past transgressions and wants to be a better man, and I kind of give sir Bass a pass, because his life hasn't necessarily been easy, except for the part of him never going hungry and having his own limo, but I digress.
Chuck Bass, works hard, plays hard, and is the complicated, tortured soul, well dressed, man we all want.
Sir Bass, surprisingly won my heart in the end, (more like season 2), but he is the best man out of this trio.
