how do you kill a feeling: a blair/dan playlist (x)

Tracklist and commentary under the cut:

This is also entirely country music, because, uh… I wanted to? And at least one person (hi Liz) seemed into the idea? Generally when it comes to GG, we skew more towards pop than anything else, so it was a fun experiment!

1. “Easy Silence,” The Chicks. And I come to find a refuge in the/Easy silence that you make for me/It’s okay when there’s nothing more to say to me

2. “Walkin’ After Midnight,” Patsy Cline. [dan voice] I’ve been walking around the city all night with one paralyzing, all-consuming thought

3. “Found It In You,” Tiera Kennedy. The confidence to know that I can be happy/Just ‘cause you tell me that you got me.

4. “Friends Don’t,” Maddie & Tae. [Insert obligatory aromantic disclaimer that Friends Do, Thanks, here.] That aside, this is just… so stupid best friends in pining denial dair-coded

5. “I Try to Think About Elvis,” Patty Loveless. When you’re ass backwards crushing on Blair Waldorf and you would like to not be, please

6. “Hey, Good Lookin’,” Hank Williams. This one was one that just clicked as a dair song at random somewhere—something about the I’m gonna throw my date book over the fence bit especially—and sparked this playlist into being

7. “Lay It On Me,” Mickey Guyton. I want the truth and all your lies/I want your perfectly imperfect

8. “I’ll Be,” Reba McEntire. And mayhaps Dan has a white knight complex. I’ll be the rock that will be strong for you/The one that will hold on to you

9. “Marigold,” Paisley Fields. Marigold, bold and bright/Marigold, through spring and summer/You brighten up my night, marigold

10. “After I Fall,” Lee Ann Womack. And mayhaps Blair is a bit traumatized. After I fall, where do I stand/After my heart is in your hands/And you’ve got it all

11. “cowboy take me away,” Brittney Spencer. This one is in the Vibe—because God knows neither of them want to get out of the city and get dirt on their hands—it’s more something wild and unruly

12. “I Can’t Help It (If I’m Still in Love with You),” Johnny Cash. Dan pining moments

13. “This Kiss,” Faith Hill. I always love story imagery with Blair, so of course we’ve got Cinderella said to Snow White/“How does love get so off course/Oh, all I wanted was a white knight/With a good heart/Soft touch, fast horse.”

14. “Wrecking Ball,” Emmylou Harris. This song’s got the narrator offering a first date if the other person is in, in spite of the lack of privacy she’s got/the things the other person might know, which is very Gossip Girl, but there’s also something about the Meet me at the wrecking ball (wrecking ball)/I’ll wear something pretty and white that feels very Blair

15. “Death Of Me,” Reyna Roberts. Took this barely beating heart and brought it back to life/But this love might be the death of me.

16. “Starting Over,” Chris Stapleton. Gotta give them something good. And, honey, for once in our life/Let’s take our chances and roll the dice

17. “Grow Old with Me,” Sunny Sweeney. They all said we’d never fit so well together/Grow old with me, I’ll keep you young forever

18. “Jolene,” Dolly Parton. I’ve used this as a Blair’s Serena complex song before, way back on the blairena playlist and uh… I was right ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯

19. “Milwaukee,” Wyatt Flores. Okay, yeah, wrong city, but—You can hate my eyes for watching you leave/You can hate my should have chased you down feet/…/Please don’t hate my heart

20. “What Brings Life Also Kills,” Kolton Moore & the Clever Few. Dear, I’m writing this for you/As I contemplate tomorrow/Why did it end so soon?

21. “Buddy,” Willie Nelson. S6 dangina hours!!!!

22. “Why’d You Come in Here Lookin’ Like That,” Dolly Parton. Exists in the theoretical Dan slut era of my dreams. He’s out slow dancing with every girl around/I’m a soft-hearted woman, he’s a hardheaded man/And he’s gonna make me feel just as bad as he can

23. “Foolin’ Ourselves,” Evan Honer. Welcome to the dairfair! We get a little chronologically blurry here for the sake of the Sound being right, but I trust y’all to follow along

24. “On the Other Hand,” Randy Travis. On one hand, I could stay and be your lovin’ man/But the reason I must go is on the other hand.

25. “Summertime,” Orville Peck. You and I/Bide our time/And I miss summertime

26. “Satin Sheets,” Tammy Wynette. If Serena gets “Jolene” (or even, sort of, the pseudo-honorable “On the Other Hand”), Chip gets this. Blair canonically sings Wynette’s “Stand By Your Man” about him (which really fucks me up), so I knew she had to be on here somewhere, but I wasn’t expecting something quite so suitable to jump right out. But your money can’t hold me tight/Like he does on a long, long night

27. “Your Someone,” May Erlewine. I thought that I was stronger/I willed myself to be/But love can be so tender/I feel a tenderness in me

28. “To June This Morning,” Ruston Kelly, Kacey Musgraves.

29. “Love is Alive,” The Judds. Love is a man and he’s mine/Love is alive/And at our breakfast table

30. “Love Is A Wild Thing,” Kacey Musgraves. There’s no way to stop it, so don’t try to

Also as someone who grew up on pjo, reading the immortals quartet for the first time was really, really funny. Like ah I see that Mr Riordan is familiar with these

What the Fuck? [2/21/24]

have you ever just felt like slowing down

does that seem alright to you?

like- fast is boring, cuz once you're done

there's nothing left to do

do you ever feel like speeding up?

doing something crazy, just for once

going slow, it leaves neglect

cuz "the heart wants what it wants'

Have a Nonsense Christmas! 💌🎄

The amount of time I wasted figuring out if Austin and Kaia just swapped clothes. Those latest pics of them leaving the yoga class left me wondering if he is wearing her old adidas crop top hoodie while she opted for his jacket.

If they do swap clothes I think it's utterly adorable. What are your thoughts on this @bcofl0ve ?

The feminine urge to wear sexy summer clothes then remembering you'll have to wear sunscreen if you do then second guessing how you look in the sexy summer clothes and finally remembering you don't like the attention shitty men will visit upon you when you wear sexy summer clothes

Thanks to them and for the future were good but they made too many of my friends cry.

If watching and waiting is anything other than the hexsquad kicking belos around like a football while the adults debate who is aloud to adopt which kid i'm gonna cause problems.

Like half the scenes should be everyone being terrifyingly badass and the rest is everyone bonding, having fun, and getting therapy.

Actually, if the average for the kids is under five last names, i'm causing problems.

This includes the collector.

"But I have nightmares"

It's a mid-day mid-week mid-life crisis today as I find myself unable to accomplish even the bare minimum. I question this lethargy as I indulge in dialogue within. My mind and heart both protest in unison as they reject the decisions my conscious self took over my teenage and adulthood.

"You don't have dreams" says my heart as it questions me why.

I say "but, I have nightmares" and my brain is swift enough to label it as an excuse before I gather myself to get up from bed.

Just as I ask myself what do I dream about, self doubt slithers around my neck and tightens it's noose and I wheeze out my last breath,

"But, I have nightmares"

Weirdcore attempt #3

No but it’s like. Her daughter is effortless. Always has been, never seems to understand how much work she puts in. Her daughter is effortless, and she loves her, just as she is, but fuck, if Lily didn’t wish Serena would maybe try a little more.

Jenny Humphrey has clever eyes and something a little sad about her already, and Lily knows there’s a reason why Eric is best friends with this girl. Jenny bleaches her hair and tears her life to pieces and gets back up out of the ashes and she admires her for it, she’s proud of her for it, she can’t help but think of glaring down her mother as she took her to get that first tattoo removed.

Dan reminds Lily of his father, sometimes, of blinking awake and squinting at the dim yellow light to find Rufus hunched over the guitar in his lap and scribbling in a notebook because he woke up at two in the morning with lyrics in his mouth. Jenny makes her think about—

Lily doesn’t ever go down that road.

She has Alison’s smile, Rufus tells her once, and he knows that she’s always been jealous and even if she’s older now, doesn’t dig her nails into the back of his neck as she tugs him into a kiss right now immediately, he smirks like he can see her squirming to do just that.

Jenny has her own notebooks, scribbled designs and sharply crossed out ones. She tells Lily she doesn’t mind people looking in them and seems surprised when she actually does, when she asks her about one that she’d scratched out that she thinks had promise. She talks like she’s never had someone listen before.

Jenny never takes to calling her Mom and Lily doesn’t mind it at all, but something in her, secret and quiet and animal, feels that she’s always had two daughters.
