The flower and scotch symbolize a juxtaposition of the character traits of Blair and Chuck from the CW's "Gossip Girl". Blair’s femininity is contrasted with Chuck’s masculinity by portraying her as the peony, her favorite flower. The peony represents Blair's fragility because she is vulnerable to others’ opinions of her. The whiskey glass reveals Chuck’s alcoholic tendencies and his troubled personal life. When both of these elements are combined it shows Blair and Chuck's toxic relationship which brings out the worst in each partner.
