#bringing this back because i’ve lately seen some posts that want to suggest maud married her characters off due to outlying pressure#(of various types… pressure from publishers or fans or shippers)#but this is simply and thankfully not true! maud married her characters off because it is what the characters wanted#they fell in love#there was no other motive#:)#rather#the pressure maud felt was to write for that time in her characters lives… when what she wanted was to leave them sacred to their girlhoods#anyway#lucy maud montgomery#the montreal gazette
