Congratulations on winning Derena FOTM! You are the biggest Derena fan I know and you deserve this honor. Tell us how it feels.
It feels amazing! I'm so proud to be Derena FOTM and I'll definitely be spreading the love this month.
1. Tell us something about yourself that we wouldn't already know.
I just recently became fluent in Spanish! Yeah, it's pretty exciting!
2. So where does Derena fall when it comes to your favorite couples?
Oh, they're only my OTP of all OTPs.
3. Are they your favorite thing about Gossip Girl? If not, what is?
Unfortunately, no. The Humphrey family is my favorite thing about GG, but Derena is second.
4. When did you start shipping them?
Well, I loved them in the Pilot, but I didn't actually start shipping them until 1x04. They're cute little scene at the end was so adorable, and I was sold.
5. What would make you give up on them, if anything?
I honestly don't think anything could make me give up on them. I mean, they share a brother and have parents that are married. What else could they possibly do to them
6.List your top three reasons for shipping them:
3. The 'popular girl/unpopular boy' aspect is adorable.
2. Their chemistry is off the charts.
1. They pwn fluff. I'm usually all about the angst, but these two make fluff GREAT
7.This or That
Season one or season two for Derena: Season 2. I think.
Penn or Dan: PENN, my baby daddy of course.
Fluff or angst: FLUFF
The dip and kiss or the reasons Dan loves her: reasons Dan loves Serena.
Penn and Penny or Blake and Penny: BOTH. But Blake and Penny are just too adorable.
8. Your favorite
Episode: 1x10: Hi, Society
Angsty moment: Elevator break-up, 2x03
Fluffy moment: Their first time, 1x11.
Unexpected moment: When Dan was in the limo when Serena got in after seeing off her father, 3x21.
Hot moment: Their first attempt at sexy!time in 1x07.
Kiss: It's a tie between the kiss in 2x14 when Serena gets back from Buenos Aires and their kiss at the end of 1x06.
Quote: "When I told my mom not to go away with Rufus, I said it was because you and I were forever...I know I was right."
Non romantic scene: 2x24, when they where dancing at prom!
9. What do you consider to be Derena's song?
The General Specific by Band of Horses.
10. People on Team Serenate hate on Dan pretty badly. Do you think they have valid reasons or is it just because Dan's competion? How do you feel about Nate?
I have yet to see one of them actually have a valid reason for hating him. Usually they just say he's irrelevant. Which doesn't make sense, but okay. I'm sure it has to do with him being competition, they wouldn't have such strong hate for him if it was any other reason.
I don't have any great feelings for Nate. haha. But it has nothing to do with SereNate, I've just never liked him since the Pilot.
11. Some Derena fans hate on Serena. Why do you think that is? Do you feel like hating on her sometimes?
Yeah, I've noticed. I think they just want Derena back, with Serena acting how she did in season 1. I think they are just hanging on false hope though, because Serena isn't going to be like her season 1 self whether she's with Dan or not. I absolutely adore Serena. Don't get me wrong, there are moments where I just want to ask her what the hell she was thinking, but I still love her.
12. Put these couples in order from your least favorite to your favorite and tell me your reasons for that order; Danessa, Serenate, Cherry, Dair, Scarter
Dair
Scarter
Serenate
Cherry
Danessa
I would give up my first born before I'd even think of shipping Dair, Scarter is gross because it involves Carter 'Platypus' Bazien, I just don't like Serenate, Cherry and Danessa PWN.
13. You can either spend the day with Penn, or own Serena's entire wardrobe, even the stuff we haven't seen on her yet. What do you choose?
Um, easiest question ever? I'd so spend the day with Penn. That's enough time to convince him to dump Blake, marry and make babies with me. HAHA. But I would love owning Serena's wardrobe. (It wasn't easy for me! Actually it was, I'd take the wardrobe)
14. You are promised all the Chenny your heart desires but you have to give up Derena's chance at endgame. Do you do it?
Sorry Derena, but if I got all the Chenny my heart desired, I wouldn't be paying attention to anything else. Dair could probably happen and I wouldn't give a second look. Oh Lucy, now you've got my brain spinning with epic Chenny moments that could happen.
15. You find a genie in a lamp but there's a catch. He only grants you one wish and he tells you your choices. You can either be cast on LOST as Matthew Fox's love interest, cast on Gossip Girl as Penn's, or be forever thin and beautiful. What do you choose?
Penn's love interest on GG. Screw being thin and beautiful forever, I'd die happy having made out with Penn Badgley!
16. You're watching GG with your best friend. She calls Penn Mr. Irrelevant and declares her hate for Derena. What do you do?
Oh snap. Lets just say, we wouldn't be best friends anymore.
17. You're on trial with a Dair shipper and a Serenate shipper. You each have to plead your case as to why your ship pwns. Tell me your argument and predict who will be set free, who will earn 25 years in prison for shipping misconduct and who will be sent to the electric chair for fail of shipping standards?
Well, besides the fact that Derena are the cutest, sweetest, most adorable couple ever. They have amazing chemistry, they're witty and funny and they're gorgeous together. They didn't just throw 'I love yous' around, because they wanted to get some. They didn't let random, outside parties interfere with their relationship every 5 seconds. They never doubted their feelings for each other. Oh, and the thought of them doesn't make you throw up in your mouth.
I will be set free, the Serenate shipper gets 25 years, and the Dair shipper gets sent to the electric chair. Oh, yeah.
18. What's the stupidest thing you've ever heard said about Derena?
That they don't have a single decent scene. Okay, because all their epic season 1 and 2 scenes sucked. Yeah, whatever floats your boat.
19. Your top five Derena scenes in order!
5. Elevator break-up, 2x03
4. 'It was the greatest night of my life', 2x12
3. Their first time, 1x11
2. Dan shows up to the cotillion/dip and kiss, 1x10
1. 'I love you because...' 1x13
20. You're allowed to steal one scene from each of these couples and give it to Derena. What scene do you steal from...
Chair: 'I'm not Chuck Bass(Dan Humphrey) without you.' (I always give that seen away for some reason...)
Serenate: beginning montage of 3x20
Natessa: Ending scene of 2x18
Vuck: Gah, hard one. Maybe the scene where in 2x17, when they're walking around the 'sex club' house. lol
Chenny: When they're talking about Lily in 3x20
Nennny: 2x08, make-out
21. Realistically what do you think of their chances for endgame?
I think they're pretty high. I wouldn't say they are definite, but as every episode passes, I get more and more certain they will indeed be endgame.
22. Are you used to being on the winning end of triangles or on the losing end?
So far I've had good luck with being on the winning end. Hopefully that streak doesn't end with Derena. :/
23. If they do get endgame will you be a gracious winner or will you rub it in some faces?
Dude, I'll be rubbing it in EVERYONES face. Like even people who don't watch Gossip Girl. lol. I'll have a field day rubbing it in to all the bitter Serenate fans faces. Oh, glorious day it will be.
24. You have the chance to meet with the powers that be of Gossip Girl. What do you say to them regarding Derena?
Make them a legit couples again, ASAP, and make them endgame or I will hunt them down. Oh and I would appreciate a Derena baby. Yeah...
25. You can tell someone is a Derena fan because they 'Like Dan'.
26. It ticks you off the most when 'Serenate fans come on the Derena spot, do our picks and leave stupid comments. GTFO'
27. You love Derena more than 'any other romantic couple!'.
28. Why do you ship Derena above all other Gossip Girl couples? Do you think they could ever be dethroned from your top spot?
There's just something about them, that has made me love them above all and since the very beginning. I always have a huge smile on my face when Derena have scenes. I know for FACT no other Gossip Girl couple will dethrone them. They don't even have a chance.
Congrats again C! Any last words for your fellow Derena shippers?
Thanks, and Derena fans DON'T GIVE UP! Derena will be endgame! :)
