an elaborate thread.

blair is a rambler, something that’s shown multiple times in 1x01 and throughout the rest of the series. he also forgets something he said two seconds ago.
his memory is selective, remembering things that happened months or years ago but not things that just happened,

which is something i’ll go into later. blair’s rambling and selective memory isn’t something that is exclusive to 1x01.
here’s more of blair rambling.
also, it is apparent in this clip that knowing different blairs is something that blair is very interested in.
it’s possible that blair could have a hyperfixation on different people with the name blair! and when mo brings it up he info dumps.

(it’s also possible that this clip is blair trans coding)
next, his RSD. rsd stands for “rejection sensitive dysphoria” and it’s something that blair experiences very often.
RSD is an extreme response to real or perceived rejection. for blair, this causes outbursts of rage.

i won’t be showing the clip of blair coming home to tiff and telling her what happened because she hits him in it. but. i believe that blair knows that tiff will be disappointed in him if he doesn’t get a job.
this causes him to have an outburst at mo

and the rest of the jammer group.

also! mo saying “i am very glad you’re here.” and blair replying with “really?” can also be blair not picking up on sarcasm !!
moving on, i don’t think this is confirmed (atleast not in 1x01) but blair has a lack of attention to detail.

adhd, meaning he is inattentive and hyperactive-impulsive.
inattentiveness includes making small mistakes that some may see as careless. it’s possible that there were tiny flaws in blair’s algorithm caused by that.

another instance where blair doesn’t understand that something is a joke/prank and takes it seriously.
there’s not much i can say about this except this is the second time blair doesn’t pick up on tone & it won’t be the last

blair hyperfocusing on fixing his algorithm. so much that he forgets to do stuff like even COME HOME AT NIGHT.
hyperfocusing is when you focus on something so hard that you forget to do things like eat and sleep. this is also something that comes up multiple times

blair talks about his algorithm ALL THE TIME. it’s obvious that he’s hyperfixating on it which is why mo points it out here !!
(also blair’s face here SENDS me i don’t know why)

“you know how it makes me feel when you let you parents pay for stuff that i should be providing”
blair’s RSD again. he feels like a failure because he doesn’t make enough money to buy tiff the stuff that she wants and gets upset when she uses her parents money.

there are multiple explanations for this. either it’s RSD again, making blair think that tiff doesn’t like him anymore (or never did). or, hypersensitivity.

honestly i don’t know what the fuck this is. and the only explanation for this is blair’s impulsivity & comphet. (comphet isn’t something that goes into adhd but still)
and like all the symptoms, this isn’t the only time blair is impulsive.

blair doesn’t pick up on her tone. i think this one is pretty self explanatory imo !! since i’ve explained his issues w tone earlier

“blair, what the fuck? you didn’t come home last night! what about the hamptons?”
blair hyperfocusing on the shredding and not coming home !! this happens very often and is creating issues with his relationship with tiff.

“i assumed you were just busy with work junk.”
tiff knows about blair’s hyperfocusing !! obviously not by name & she doesn’t think anything of it, but still. it happens so often that it’s almost normalized in their relationship

impulsivity once again. he quits without thinking about how this could effect him & tiff and their relationship.
okay. that’s all for now. i will finish this thread soon there’s just a lot of stuff <3
