ANNE WITH AN E (2017 – 2019) ↳ 2.07 - Cole comes out to Aunt Josephine 🏳️‍🌈

Inspirational female representation is not flawless girl-bosses. It never has been. That's another one-dimensional unattainable version of perfection same as the 50s Housewife was. We can't all be Aunt Bea or Black Widow those are caricatures of what it means to be a woman and only highlight limited aspects of femininity without character growth or nuance. Assassin is no more of a personality than cook is.

Inspirational female representation in media is women who make mistakes and are still given value even after blundering. It's Anne falling off a roof. It's Evie wrecking a whole library and nearly ending the world. It's Eowyn in a suicidal depression riding into battle with the goal of dying. It's Lizzie believing everything Wickham says about Darcy.

It's Anne learning that you shouldn't fall for a bully's bait and pride has its place and it should be kept there. It's Evie learning that maybe don't assume something is safe because sometimes it definitely isn't, whether that's ladders or big black books. It's Eowyn learning to love herself and that she doesn't have to prove anything to anyone. It's Lizzie learning not to jump to conclusions about people's character.

It's the space for mistakes and growth. These characters are loved and lovable before, during, and after their mistakes. While they learn from the mistakes they make there is no pressure that from that moment on they are perfect and do nothing else less than perfectly (the mummy sequel doesn't exist here because they made Evie into a cardboard cutout of who she had been in the first film and stripped her depth and warmth). These women are allowed to fail, learn, and grow. They are also some of the most resonant characters in the history of women in literature and film. Who here consumed the media where they are represented and didn't feel akin to at least one of them in some way?

As I've been reading through the Anne of Green Gables book series and watching the original film series that started in the 80s, I think ive cracked the code on the main difference between those two and the Netflix series Anne with and E.

Both the books and the moves really give off the feeling of snapshots through Anne's life. Oftentimes there are transitions from one point in Anne's life to another point years or months away. I understand why it is this way but I was often finding myself being like "erm wait a minute" she finished queens already?! Or in the second movie I was like hang on I'm sorry she has her BA already didn't she just agree to go back to college like ten minutes ago. This is really my only nitpick with the movies, they just kinda jump around and don't always give good lead up/explanation to it.

This is extremely juxtaposed with Anne with an E, where so much time is spent on one specific period of Anne's life. The show is just about her finding her place in Avonlea and going to school. No college, no Redmond, or a bunch of proposals. Just a coming of age story about a young girl growing into a teenager ready to take on life. So much more time is devoted to showing her connection with the Cuthberts, Diana, and Gilbert, and also literally everyone else. ESPECIALLY AUNT JOSEPHINE LIKE PUT SOME RESPECT ON HER NAME LUCY MAUD MONTGOMERY. jk jk I just... really love aunt Josephine ok

I could cook up a whole essay but to sum up books/movies snapshot of anne throughout her whole life, great moral lessons and insane plots but very jumpy aroundy. Netflix version: focused on one time of Anne and devoted to great character development

I’m breaking my No Tumblr For Lent rule because I really have to share -

I’m 65 pages into Mansfield Park and I can’t stand Edmund. He’s objectively a Good Person (which I can already tell is going to be a rarity in this narrative), but god is he insufferable.

The Crawfords are flakes, but at least they’re entertaining flakes so far.

Austen is always scathingly snarky but this is the first time I think she comes off a bit self-righteous??

i don’t care what anyone says, diana barry is a lesbian. her face when she realised aunt jo and gertrude weren’t just friends? her mind conflicted by the fact it’s morally wrong? diana saw herself in aunt jo and realised that maybe it wasn’t wrong to begin with. her messing with jerry? yeah that’s comphet

[kat-rose-griffith]

I can’t believe I haven’t seen any parallels made between the red head x brunette pen pal friends to lovers slow burn ship shirbert, from Anne with an E, and polin, from bridgerton. I’m actually surprised I haven’t seen more parallels between the two shows in general since they do share a few similar aspects

Thinking how Sybelle was so in love with music that she would often play the piano for hours straight, forgetting to eat, sleep etc and she believes her biological brother literally bought Benji to take care of her. Thinking how her biological brother exploited her talent and was violent and she would take the beat, but wouldn't let him touch Benji. Thinking how Armand doesn't remember/know much afte his suicidal attempt and how he survived, but his first memory is somehow reappearing where they were and Sybelle being attacked while Benji prayed for help. Thinking how Armand killed Sybelle's abusive brother and they both helped him. Thinking how those two became Armand's children and they all helped each other so much. Thinking how the first time Lestat woke from his coma, he asked Sybelle to play for him. Thinking how Louis goes to live with Armand, Benji and Sybelle and they're considered to be a family. Thinking how Lestat would watch them from afar wanting to join them. Thinking how Lestat would always listen to Benji's radio program, remember him in random moments and say things like "that's what Benji believes", "Benji would enjoy this", because at that point Lestat just knew Benji. Thinking how Lestat loved the design of the Trinity Gate and felt at home in library and said "Armand couldn't have created a better place for him". Thinking how when there's a fire in the castle, Sybelle's clothes get ruined and she snaps, Lestat and Benji protect and cover her up. Thinking how Lestat adopts Rose after she becomes an orphan and her biological grandparents reject her. Thinking how Viktor was raised by his biological mother Flannery, Fareed and Seth. Thinking how it's said that Viktor has three parents and after meeting his biological father Lestat, he got four. Thinking about the times we see Viktor, Rose, Sybelle and Benji standing close to each other in a room, suggesting they're close. Thinking about the parallels those seven characters. Thinking about how many of them ended up choosing the family they found and made for themselves than the families they were born into and hurt them. Thinking about unconventional relationships and types of love that might look weird on paper and be complicated to define, but are so real, so present and so beautiful on The Vampire Chronicles.

So how's the mental old lady Yuri going?

pictured: me knitting furiously as I contemplate the the effects that marilla cuthbert/muriel stacy would have on the canon. Marilla Cuthburt's years of celibacy wasted on a bisexual widow who wants to show her the world. "No corset? Fiddlesticks" kind of nonsense. But I want Marilla to have her greatest sexuality crisis yet with her hair down and Muriel telling her she's beautiful. God but can you imagine.
