For a show with such a title, the honest-held belief of many fans is that Serena and Blair are the pinnacle of female friendship in TV. I\u2019m not sure if many people base their opinions on Tumblr, or only half-watched the show, but as iconic as the Upper East Side queens are, their friendship is far from perfect. I admit, it\u2019s hard to think of the show\u2019s representation of friendship without Kristen Bell\u2019s iconic narrations \u2013 \u201cSerena and Blair\u2026 they do besties better than anyone.\u201d Of course, with every scheme, and every argument, Serena and Blair overcome and turn out stronger, but there is no denying that their relationship is complex and often bordering on toxic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Honestly, I think that\u2019s one of the reasons I love their friendship so much. It isn\u2019t sunshine and rainbows. Despite their riches, they are raw, and real and often play dirty \u2013 throwing each other under the bus regularly to benefit themselves. Serena skips town, leaving Blair high and dry amid her parent\u2019s divorce, ditching in the first place because she slept with Nate Archibald, Blair\u2019s long-term boyfriend. Blair in return attempts to ruin Serena\u2019s reputation by trying to out her stay at the local psych ward and accidentally revealing Eric\u2019s suicide attempt in the process. Serena tries to destroy Blair\u2019s chances of getting into Yale by stealing her perfect answer to the Dean\u2019s famous party question, and Blair overthrows this by spoiling Serena\u2019s ballot so that it says the name of the guy who overdosed and died when Serena was present.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m a die-hard Blair Waldorf apologist, so I would argue that despite her cruel exterior, Blair is the stronger contender out of the two when it comes to being a real friend. However, no one in the universe of <em>Gossip Girl<\/em> loves Blair like Serena does. Miss Waldorf says it best, \u201call of the boyfriends and mean girls and teachers, and our crazy mothers, we went through it together. We raised each other.\u201d For two girls who are more sisters than friends, I believe Serena and Blair are among the most genuine representations of female friendship. In a world riddled with sexism and controlled by the patriarchy, two strong females are bound to clash as they fight to earn their individual deserved successes. The crux of the matter is that there isn\u2019t a line the one would cross to help the other. Serena\u2019s alcohol and drug problems, Blair\u2019s eating disorder. They don\u2019t judge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019re family. What is you, is me. There\u2019s nothing you could ever say that would make me let go.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Tegan Davies<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sex and the City <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to female friendships on screen, <em>Sex and the City<\/em> has got to be one of the best examples. Carrie, Charlotte, Miranda, and Samantha may be total opposites in some ways, but their bond is unbreakable \u2013 and that\u2019s what makes their friendship stand out. Every woman brings something unique to the table. Carrie\u2019s dreamy, sometimes clueless, but always looking for love. Charlotte is a hopeless romantic who believes in fairy-tale endings. Miranda\u2019s all about her career and keeping things real, while Samantha is unapologetically confident and always doing things her way. They might clash at times, but it\u2019s those differences that make them such a solid team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What I love about their relationship is how real it feels. They\u2019re not just sharing good times \u2013 they\u2019re there for each other through the messy stuff, too. Breakups, career changes, personal struggles \u2013 they face it all, and always come out stronger on the other side. The way they argue, forgive, and grow makes their friendship something we can all relate to, no matter where we\u2019re at in life. It\u2019s so important to see female friendships like this in TV shows. We live in a world where women are often pitted against each other, but <em>Sex and the City<\/em> turns that on its head. The show proves that women can be different, support each other through tough times, and still have each other\u2019s backs through it all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At its heart, <em>Sex and the City<\/em> is about more than just friendship. It\u2019s about the complicated, messy, real-life relationships that make our lives richer and more meaningful. These women teach us that true friendship isn\u2019t perfect \u2013 it\u2019s real, it\u2019s raw, and it\u2019s something worth celebrating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Wiktoria Alicja Gabara<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Featured image courtesy of <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/@slavewire\">Alex Sheldon<\/a> via <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/license\">Unsplash<\/a>.
