Drive Fast: a Chuck and Blair season one fanmix

May 31, 2012 20:08


It's been a good four years since I posted anything on here and I'm not entirely sure anybody still even really goes on LiveJournal at all anymore, but I made this mix to post on Tumblr and I figured I'd post it here as well.

Oh my godddddddd, all of a sudden I'm drowning in feels! And I haven't even kept current with GG! But I can never resist thinking about the Blair/Chuck arc of season one. It's my favorite thing Gossip Girl has ever done and I still think they captured some magic here. ♥

Your mix is ridiculously on point, wow. I haven't listened to it all the way through yet but I also find it really fun to read through a mix like it's poetry and this one was perfect for that. You did such a great job cutting to the heart of their feelings here. And very specific feelings too! UGH. BLAIR AND CHUCK. OH NO, I LOVE THEM TOGETHER. :DDD

you're no good for me, but baby i want you, i want you
Reeeeally in character for Victor, Victrola Blair! YES.

and in later conversations we'll never mention car rides…
VICTOR, VICTROLA FALLOUT IN ONE LINE. Plus "variations of one another" is so them too.

I think it's safe to say that i get carried away
and liars aren't fooling anyoneWOW. This is EXACTLY the Chuck of Seventeen Candles. And I adore that Chuck. Your soft ( ... )

Oh my goodness, thank you so much for this comment! It made my day!

Honestly, if you're not up to date on Gossip Girl... I don't know if it's worth catching up on, haha. Seasons four and five were basically a trainwreck. ALTHOUGH I do have some hope for season 6 and Chuck and Blair! Season one is by far my favorite, especially for them, which is why doing this mix was so enjoyable. I read mixes the same way (like poetry) and sometimes I don't even listen to them, but I'm a very linguistic person so I guess just reading the expression of feelings makes me gush and fangirl and FEEL, so I'm so glad that you enjoyed doing that!

This is still of one my favorite moments of theirs and I am very satisfied with the song for it. ♥ Man, I hate when this pair gets simplified as "angsty", they're so fun like this.I AGREE. I wanted to make sure to have some fun songs in here because the Chuck and Blair of Season one is NOT all about angst! It's so much more than that: sexyfallinginlovedenial and pretend hate. There's enough angst in season two ( ... )

You're welcome! Aha, you struck a nerve with Blair/Chuck, I didn't even know I missed them so much! :)

Yeahhhh, I've been gathering that. XD I still click on episode reviews sometimes, because I really did have a love affair with show! I quit sometime in the early-middle of season 4, all I know is I saw 4.08 because I know I really enjoyed that one. It just got so tiring, the way the writers would jump from one dynamic to another. Sometimes they'd even strike on good ideas but two episodes later, everything would change! XD Anyway, I heard the Blair characterization was especially terrible this last season (ugh, I wouldn't relish watching that) but I'm tempted to maybe marathon everything I missed, so I can finish up the show with everyone. :)

The mix looks very nice! It makes me want to rewatch season 1 in its entirety, because Chuck/Blair storyline was so captivating there)

Ugh, this looks so good. You've put so much though into the lyrics; that's my favourite part about fanmixes (as opposed to regular mixes). Definitely won't be hearing Okay I Believe You the same way anymore :D
