Seth Cohen and Blair Waldorf: A Love Story

Ten years ago The OC aired on Fox, and we were introduced to Seth Cohen. The lovable, witty, comic book reading, indie music listening, outcast of Orange County played by Adam Brody. Boys everywhere wanted to be Seth Cohen, and girls everywhere wanted to date him. He made being nerdy cool, he made it sexy. He made sad guitar music romantic. He was Mr. Dreamboat 2003. And even though Seth Cohen was on the fringes at Harbor School, he still managed to snag the popular hottie Summer Roberts as his girlfriend and eventual (spoiler alert, although the show has been off the air since 2007 so where have you been) wife.

In 2007, rising from the ashes of one teen drama, came Gossip Girl (yes, I know the books came out before that I am politely ignoring that for the sake of this story). The show had the same creators. The same music director. The same dark tension. It had an indie fringe character (read: Dan Humphrey) but we are focusing on another character. The popular hottie and HBIC (head b**ch in charge) Blair Waldorf played by Leighton Meester. Blair tore through the Upper East Side paving her way, not having time for anyone and getting things done (while sometimes making people cry.)

The other day it was rumored that Adam Brody and Leighton Meester are engaged. The two have been dating for months now, essentially writing the best real life The OC/Gossip Girl fic the world has ever seen. I was pretty stoked to hear this, since it is basically the culmination of my early-teen dreams in actual holy matrimony. Now, while I will support Seth and Summer until the day I die, I do think that in some weird tumblr-fueled alternate universe, Seth Cohen and Blair Waldorf could make a pretty good couple. And here is my proof.
