Arguably one of the most famous fictional couples in history (besides Wesley and Buttercup from "The Princess Bride" and Carrie and Big from "Sex and the City," of course) is Blair Waldorf and Chuck Bass from the angst-ridden, substance-abusive show "Gossip Girl." Sure, Chuck is kind of an asshole most of the series, but one thing remains clear throughout the entire show: he'd do anything for the love of his life, Blair Waldorf.
Through good and bad, the pair remains loyal to each other. Whether it is Chuck breaking Blair's heart and disappearing, or Blair marrying a prince (in order to get over Chuck, let's be real), they always come back to each other in the end.
In order to honor this couple, here's a list of why every girl deserves her own Chuck Bass (even the Jenny Humphreys of the world).
1. Every girl deserves a man who is ambitious, both socially and in their career.
Chuck Bass owned his own hotel empire, and while he hit some bumps along the way, he always tried to get ahead in his career and make smart investments.
2. Every girl deserves a man who will respect her.
Sure, Chuck did some sketchy things, but he never disrespected Blair intentionally. He always listened to her ideas and schemes, even if they were a little crazy.
3. But every girl also deserves a man who will push her outside of her comfort zone, in the best ways possible.
Chuck forced Blair to be vulnerable and open up to him, loving her even more for her flaws.
4. Every girl deserves a man who will make her laugh.
So what if his jokes aren't funny? Chuck's sense of humor might've been cynical and sarcastic, but it brought a smile to Blair's face.
5. Every girl deserves to have a man tell them "I love you," even if they are scared.
Love always wins.
6. Every girl deserves a man who will protect her.
Whether it is protecting her from harm or maintaining her reputation, Chuck tried to protect Blair from harm as often as he could. He almost died for her, for goodness sake!
7. Every girl deserves a man who will compliment her.
Even if she looks like total shit.
8. Every girl deserves a man who looks good in a suit.
Hot damn. Just look at the smirk paired with that tie.
9. Every girl deserves a man who will support her, through thick and thin.
Even if it isn't always a great idea. Knowing someone has your back is one of the best feelings in the world.
10. Every girl deserves a man who will fight for her.
He will fight for them to be together, and show her what she means to him. Chuck knew that he and Blair would end up together, and he made sure it happened. Chuck even showed up at her wedding to another man...that's dedication.
11. Every girl deserves a man who will call her out on her bullshit.
Sorry girls, we aren't always right. Just usually. Chuck knew that Blair loved him, and calling her out helped make them stronger.
12. Every girl deserves someone to cuddle with when she has had a bad day.
#relationshipgoals.
13. Every girl deserves to find her partner in crime.
Scheming aside, Chuck and Blair made the ultimate team. There is someone out there for everyone. It's just a matter of finding your other half.
