I was talking w my mom and found out she watched the heidi of the alps anime as a kid, so I explained how it was part of the "world masterpiece theater" block that adapts books from around the world (and how I recently watched+loved the anne of green gables adaptation). And she asks me if they ever did anything from greece, but I told her unfortunately no because there isn't really a lot of well-known modern greek literature outside of greece tells. However there's the ancient stuff, which did get me thinking... If they ever wanna revive the block (again) an anime version of the iliad and odyssey would actually kick ass. I wouldn't even want them to follow it faithfully, I would want as much tropy bullshit as possible. Rule of cool. I wanna see griddy guts-esque seinen protagonist odysseus. And while we're at it let's do a shounen jason and the argonauts I'm so serious. Someone get Fuji TV on the phone

📕📙📔📒📗📘📓 is this all the book emojis? maybe- am i just really curious cause i want more ideas? y u p -
Awwww I'm honored!!! Okay I'll give you a bunch then--
An au where Kanan and Hera meet and not long after the Force decides "hey, this lady is super smart. We should give her the ability to control plants so that she can gather all the Jedi to fight back against the Empire!" And so Hera gets that and becomes the prophesied Queen of the Jedi and Kanan is her number one guard and is kinda overprotective and Ezra is still his young punk apprentice and yes this is based off of Epic why do you ask--
When Ezra yeets himself into hyperspace he shoots himself and Thrawn back into time and they get stuck in a four year time loop in which Thrawn keeps trying to kill him and Ezra keeps trying to save the day and accidentally keeps bringing people back with him whenever the loop resets (Sabine, Ahsoka, Kallus, Rex, etc.). Also the only way to break the time loop is to save Kanan
laskdjlfsjkdlfkds I almost forgot about this one-- a Star Wars-ified Anne of Green Gables inspired au that I literally created solely for A) Hera smashing a slate (or in this case, datapad) over Kanan's head and B) the friends to lovers arc. Also if you haven't read/watched Anne of Green Gables, do. It's amazing
Zootopia Kanera au. I haven't gone too in depth in this au, but I THINK it speaks for itself
Okay imagine if Kanan wound up on Tatooine and bumped into Obi-Wan who decided he needed to adopt this young punk that he recognized from the Temple to make sure he doesn't get himself killed and Kanan sasses him all the time but stays with him most of the time and travels the galaxy other times and definitely brings Hera home and Obi-Wan makes them tea and ships them and she reminds him of Satine HECK I MADE MYSELF SAD
Another Batman!au, but Hera's Batman and Kanan is Catwoman. This is inspired solely by this scene in Batman: The Animated Series where Catwoman's all "you know there's something between us" and Batman's like "yeah. Unfortunately, it's the law" and while I know Hera hates puns it just HAD THEIR VIBES
Hmmm, it's hard to choose one to end on. Uhhhhhhhhhh not gonna lie my accidental rom-com slaps but like. I wanna keep that one under wraps and not post about it. So let me leave you with these words-- Jacen and Kanan Frequency Au
Ask game!!

dream trip: A trip where I’d travel all across New Zealand... I’d love to see the diversity of nature there, and of course I’d also love to visit the places where LotR was filmed and go on a Hobbiton Movie Set Tour.
if you were an animal, what would you be? A robin!

If Gilbert were to walk Anne home in season 3 how do you think that would go?
Ok, I loved this prompt so much, it was what inspired me to send out the prompt ask. Words: a little under 2k.
Anne stepped outside the schoolhouse and looked up. It had gotten dark while they were inside, studying for their Queens entrance exam with Miss Stacey. There was a small club now, Anne, Josie, Ruby, Gilbert, Charlie and Miss Stacey. Diana wasn’t able to study with them because her mom didn’t allow her. Josie and Ruby left in the same direction and Charlie left the other way as Anne stood on the edge of the schoolhouse’s porch, staring up at the sky.
“Anne?” Gilbert asked, tapping her on the shoulder, jerking her head back to reality. “What are you doing?”
“The stars,” Anne said, pointing up at them. “They’re beautiful.”
Gilbert looked up at them too. “They sure are,” he agreed, looking back at her. He knew the stars were beautiful, but the way Anne was looking at them made her think that seeing them through her eyes would augment them somehow. That her imagination would make them even more beautiful.
“Are you two ok getting home?” Miss Stacey asked, locking the door behind her. “It’s pretty dark.”
Anne looked around her nervously, noticing how it was night. “I can walk her home, Miss Stacey,” Gilbert offered. “That is, if it’s ok with Anne,” Gilbert quickly added.
“It’s fine,” Anne said.
“Stay safe,” Miss Stacey said as she left for her home.
Gilbert stared at Anne as she continued to look up at the stars. He wanted to get her home safe, but also didn’t want to disturb her. He waited, and when she smiled back at him they started their walk home.
They walked side by side, with Anne keeping glancing up at the stars. When they entered the forest, Gilbert thought Anne would stop looking up but she didn’t. “I love the way the stars and moon looks when you move through the tree branches,” she told him.
Unfortunately, thus would be her undoing. She was too busy looking up, and she ended up tripping on a root. Gilbert was looking over at her and saw it happen and tried to stop it but he was a bit too late and ended up awkwardly holding her in a sort of a dip. She was at an angle, in a sort of a plank. Gilbert was leaning over her, one foot in front of the other, his right hand was supporting her back and the other on her shoulder. Anne was stunned. She looked up, into his eyes, and forgot to breath. They were nose to nose, so close Gilbert was thinking about how easy it would be to kiss Anne and Anne was thinking the same thing. But Gilbert didn’t. He pulled her up and got her securely on her feet.
“Maybe I should be looking ahead,” Anne said.
“It would save any more awkward situations,” Gilbert replied as they started walking again.
“I would’t exactly call that awkward,” Anne objected.
“What would you call it?” Gilbert asked.
Anne held her tongue. She wanted to say that she thought of it as romantic, but she wouldn’t say that since she already knew he didn’t think like that. “What did you think about nights like this?”Gilbert wasn’t really sure how to respond to something like that, so he gave a simple answer. “I like them.”
“Oh, I love them,” Anne told him. “I love this time of year because it’s cool but not so cold you have to wear big winter coats. In addition to the time of year being perfect, I love how perfectly still this night is. It’s silent. It’s like we are the only two souls still awake and moving. It soothes the soul, doesn’t it, to know that you can finally be alone with your thoughts. Especially after a long day, it’s nice to be alone.”
“You aren’t alone,” Gilbert reminded her, bringing her back to reality since she seemed to have zoned out.
“Yes, I suppose,” Anne said, and they continued to walk in silence. 
“What did you think about Miss Stacey’s lessons?” Gilbert asked, trying to start a conversation.
“Oh, I love Miss Stacey,” Anne said, “and while I am excelling at the writing, reading, and anything to do with the english language I am still struggling with math and especially algebra and geometry.”
“Well, we could study together,” Gilbert said. “I could help tutor you with the math stuff.”
“That’d be great!” Anne said.
“Sure, come over whenever,” Gilbert said enthusiastically. “Bash would love to see you again, and so would Mary. To tell you the truth, it would be nice to have someone else there. Bash and Mary are nice, but they are a bit too couple-y. It’d be nice to have someone else who’s also single there.” 
Anne smiled, but it was reserved like she wasn’t sure if she should really be smiling. “I wouldn’t criticize them for being too in love,” Anne objected.
“I’m not,” Gilbert said quickly. “I’m just saying, looking at them, making heart eyes and in love, it reminds me about all the stuff I want, the stuff I don’t have. Yet.”
“What do you mean?” Anne was curious. She had never seen Gilbert like this.
“Just, I want that. I want to fall in love,, have them fall in love with you. I want to have a house, and kiss every night before I go to bed, and I want to know exactly who I’m waking up next to every day. I want someone that I can talk to and live with and fall for, every single day, every time I look at her.”
Anne looked over at Gilbert as a ball formed in her throat. This was exactly what she wanted to hear someone say about her. But then she remembered who she was, and who he was, and looked down, embarrassed. It was foolish to imagine he would actually be speaking about her. Not that she felt the same way, it’s just that it would have been flattering if he was.
“What about you?” Gilbert asked.
“What?” Anne looked up at Gilbert, confused.
“Planning on settling down and falling in love?” Gilbert specified.
“Well,” Anne didn’t know how to answer the question. “I suppose it would depend on if I ever meet my soulmate. If I meet them than of course I want that, but if not than I’m fine having never experienced romance for myself. I get enough of it from books anyway.” 
“Do you believe in soulmates?” Gilbert asked.
“Of course,” Anne said.
“Do you think you’ve found your soulmate?” Gilbert continued.
“No,” Anne said firmly. “I would know immediately if I found them. Our eyes would meet, our hearts would beat faster, in time with on another. I will know.”
Gilbert was embarrassed. He thought she might consider him her soulmate, but she obviously didn’t. 
They continued on in silence, Anne looking at the stars every chance she got, but not too much because she didn't want to trip, and Gilbert looking at Anne every chance he got, but not too much because he didn’t want to seem creepy.
When they got to the field before Green Gables, Anne looked up at the sky, longingly. She wanted to stay and look at the beautiful stars. Every step towards Green Gables made her heart grow heavy. She stopped, halfway through the field and turned to Gilbert.
“You can go home now,” she said. “I don’t need your help the rest of the way.”
Gilbert sensed something was off about Anne. “It’s no trouble,” he assured her. “I walk you the rest of the way.”
“No,” Anne said, as she stopped walking and firmly planted her feet. 
Gilbert glanced back, concerned. “What is it,” he furrowed his eyebrows.
Anne couldn't quite find the words. “It’s just,” she attempted, “I’m not ready to go back inside yet. I don’t want to.”
“What do you want?” Gilbert asked.
Anne looked up at his gorgeous eyes. I want you, she thought. But she knew she couldn’t say that. Instead, she looked up even higher. “I want the stars.”
Gilbert smiled. If he could, he would give her every star in the sky. Every planet, comet and nebula should be her’s. But he knew he couldn’t, so he settled for just watching it with her. “Come over here,” he said, bringing her off the beaten path and into the field. “Lay down,” he instructed, laying down himself and patting the ground next to him.
She hesitated, but joined eventually. They lay next to each other and looked up at the stars. It was interesting, knowing that even though they were seeing the same sky, Anne’s was probably a lot brighter and fuller than his.
“Do you know any constellations?” Anne asked. 
“Unfortunately not,” Gilbert replied, but he looked over at Anne with a smile. “Why don’t you make some up?”
Anne grinned at the possibility. “Well, that one there looks like a snake,” Anne said. “See those stars there? That’s the underbelly and that’s the top. The tail goes there, ending with that star, and that’s the head.”
“Where’s it going?” Gilbert asked.
“It’s not going anywhere in particular,” Anne informed him. “It’s just been cursed to always wander so it can never be with it’s true love, um, the badger in that corner of the sky.” Anne pointed by Gilbert’s head.
“And who cursed the two lovebirds?” Gilbert asked.
Anne continued telling stories, giving every corner of the sky it’s own animal or person till everything was covered. Then she sat back and they admired her work.
Gilbert had so many questions he wanted to ask her, but knew that it was more important to stay here with Anne.
They were interrupted by Marilla, walking out on the porch and flooding the field with light.
“Marilla?” Anne said, sitting up and turning around to face her adopted mother.
“There you are, Anne!” Marilla yelled, terrified. “Come inside at once!”
Anne stood up and started walking towards the house. Gilbert got up and joined her.
“What is it?” Anne asked.
“I had no idea where you were, I thought something had happened to you.
“Nothing happened, we were just watching the stars,” Anne assured her.
“Don’t worry, next time I’ll bring her right home,” Gilbert said, but then stopped himself. He hadn’t discussed latter walks home with Anne. But he looked over and Anne seemed to be trying her best not to smile so he had not overstepped too much.
“Well, come inside right now,” Marilla said.
“Can we at least say good night?” Anne asked. 
“Very well,” Marilla said, “but don’t take too long.”
Marilla went back inside. Anne turned back to Gilbert. “Thank you for the walk home,” she said.
“Thank you for sharing the stars with me,” Gilbert responded. They stood there for a moment, unsure what to say next.
“Well,” Anne said, “see you tomorrow. Good night.” Anne tuned around and went into the house
“Wait, Anne!” Gilbert said, catching her before she could go into the house. He had so much to say to her, but had trouble to find the words. “Don’t think that love can only come to you like a tidal wave. Sometimes it starts soft, like light rain, and before you know it’s pouring and you are drenched to the bone.” He looked at her, hoping she understood who he was referring too but her face was filled with surprise, not understanding. He suddenly grew extremely embarrassed. “Good night,” he said quickly, running off into the night leaving a very confused Anne on the porch.

Fifteen Questions, Fifteen Mutuals
Tagged by @utsukushiiyume. It’s very nice to be thought of. 
1. Are you named after anyone?
I am not. My Dad wanted to name me Ruan after a woman he met once who he thought was very beautiful. My Mom used her veto power on that one.
My middle name is Ann. Without an “e” - unfortunately. In my secret heart, I pretend I was named after Anne of Green Gables, my fellow INFP soulmate. 
2. When was the last time you cried?
...Yesterday. 
3. Do you have kids?
Yeah. I did that procreation thing. I have one loinfruit. It’s a pretty sweet gig, but sometimes it makes me cry (see question 2). 
4. Do you use sarcasm a lot?
I use a smattering of sarcasm here and there, but definitely not a lot. Only when it’s a truly irresistible moment.  
5. What’s the first thing you notice about people?
What @owlsshadows said really resonates for me. I would say it’s their energy. How they carry themselves. What it feels like to be in their presence. How do they interact with me and with others? Do they feel genuine or insincere? Is their face kind? What’s their body language like? It’s actually a very quick assessment that ultimately builds up to an intuitive sort of sense I get about them. 
6. What’s your eye color?
Hazel, leaning towards a sagey green sometimes. Some days more brown.
7. Scary movie or happy ending?
I will crumple into a fetal bundle of hysterics if exposed to anything scary. It doesn’t have to be a happy ending, but save me from frightening, gory disasters. I like lots of character development and smart dialogue. 
8. Any special talents?
Hmm...
I used to play the lever harp. And I can make chocolates. But I’m really terribly ordinary. 
9. Where were you born?
In a hospital. It was a fast delivery, especially for a primigravida. My dad was at a BBQ and only made it in time to cut the umbilical cord. 
10. What are your hobbies?
Does sleeping count? AHAhahahah... ha..... ha.  Ha. 
*Sigh*
I love to bake. A lot. My little sis and I used to dream about opening a Winnie the Pooh themed bakery (no joke, we really like Pooh Bear), even though it did NOT fit with our desire to serve up super fancy baked goods. We like classy shit. I was actually enrolled in pastry school. But then, well, sad things happened in my life. That is a private message kind of conversation. I regret never making it through the program. 
I like to cook too. 
And write. 
And any kind of partner dancing. Especially east coast swing and lindy hop (I’m just learning it). But I’ve done west coast swing, rumba, cha-cha, tango, salsa, waltz, and foxtrot.
Reading - novels, manga, occasional non-fiction. 
Watching silly tv/anime. 
11. Do you have any pets?
No pets. I can barely take care of my little human and myself. I always think I want a cat and then I think about the litter box. Nope.
12. What sports do you play/have you played?
*Hysterical laughter gathering intensity*
Yin and restorative yoga. ;) 
(Yes, that was a joke.)
For real though, I am not athletic. I am jello. But I have always wanted to devote myself to jiu-jitsu or judo. Time and energy are just so hard to come by these days. Also babysitters, haha.  
13. How tall are you?
5′4″ 
14. Favorite subject in school?
English, Biology, and French
15. Dream job?
I’m still trying to figure that out what I want to be if I grow up. I’ve imagined a lot of viable options. Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages. French Teacher. Counselor. Midwife. Stay at Home Mum. Registered Massage Therapist. The newest idea: Professional Cuddler. 
I’m not even joking (at least as a side job). Thanks a lot @superhappybubbleslove. 
Clients in my imagination: Shirayuki *heart eyes*
Clients in real life: 98% men above the age of 50

Little talk about the series Anne with an E - SPOILERS AHEAD
So, I’m sorry, but this is going to be a REALLY long post… I’ve loved Lucy Maud Montgomery’s story about Anne since forever, so… sorry if this will become something incredibly long, I hope you’ll stick with me till the end.
Tumblr media
I still remember the Japanese anime Akage no Anne coming around on television every morning when I was in Kindergarten and Primary school (and it was already almost 20 years old around then).
Tumblr media
Years later I wondered about Anne’s story a lot (in particular about the dynamic between her and Gilbert), so I decided to read the book and eventually discovered that Anne of Green Gables’ story had not one, not two but eight books!
Tumblr media
I know, right??? Unluckily, it wasn’t (and isn’t) very famous in my country, so I managed to read only the first, second, third and sixth book (borrowed from the library, until some months ago, when i found all the books and bought them spending an enormous amount of money T.T). Anyway, those where enough to let me understand what Anne Shirley’s story would evolve in someday (and what would’ve happen to her and Gil!).
Naturally, since I was around thirteen and had my first computer, I started to search for more and found out that in 1985 Montgomery’s first book had been adapted into a Canadian mini-series drama and later on, in 1987, the next four books had been put into another mini-series, sequel of the above.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Oh, how happy I felt when I saw my favorite literature characters on screen!
Obviously the television adaptation wasn’t perfect, but the mini-series about the first book was almost perfect and the second still kept the poetic vision of Montgomery’s books (I could talk about Anne of Green Gables - the sequel’s omissions from the books all day, but still, this isn’t the topic of the post…).
Anyway, I still felt like I missed something, I was wishing that someone would’ve made another series one day that would’ve brought to life these amazing characters at least as well as the Sullivan Entertainment did (Because, yes, nobody can ever tell me that Megan Follows and Jonathan Crombie didn’t do a great job as Anne and Gil!).
Beside a direct to television film starring Martin Sheen which… erm… wasn’t really one of the best adaptations and had so many flaws, also in the plot, that I have seen it only once and am not going to see it again (sorry, just… nah).
Tumblr media
And beside a modern but still unexpectedly amazing web series about Anne’s first three books (if you haven’t, go and watch Green Gables Fables NOW)
Tumblr media
I discovered that Netflix was going to make a whole tv series about this marvelous story!
I couldn’t be happier! Netflix had done really good tv series (”A series of Unfortunate Events” which I loved, for example) so I was really happy, and still am today, actually, so don’t worry, it is anyway a “yes for me”.
Tumblr media
So… let’s really talk about this…
“Anne with an E” has been out for more or less two or three months and I’ve soaked it well enough to be able and talk about it objectively.
Tumblr media
Things I LOVED:
Amybeth McNulty. Seriously, I love Megan Follows, she’s been my very first Anne on screen, and I will always recognize her as Miss Shirley… but Amybeth was AMAZING. I cannot even start to tell how perfect she was for the role without making my hands shake. She is my perfect description of Anne. Seriously, it’s like they took out of my mind the vision I had of Anne and put that on a real girl (which is kind of creepy, but anyway…). She was perfect in every way, she was stubborn, creative, full of joy and sorrow. I loved her.
Lucas Jade Zumman. He was great too! I still feel like Jonathan Crombie’s portrayal was slightly more on point… his Gilbert is the cutest, but still, Zumman’s performance was, as McNulty’s, completely on point with the spirit of the character. Gilbert falls in love with Anne at first sight and it is clear in every stare he glances around. Great job!
Geraldine James. This Marilla was also amazing. I also loved Colleen Dewhurts (from the Sullivan Entertainment mini-series), so it’s really hard for me to chose, but well… everything about this Marilla was great!
Anne and Gil’s moments. I know, I know, this is somehow a cliche, but I’m a really romantic girl and I love their relationship, so I have to bow to the screenwriter for writing these little moments (which aren’t in the books) that still felt canon (most of them, I’ll come to this later).
The menstruation moment. And yes, I’m going to call it as it is and not period, because it is SO IMPORTANT. Menstruations are, still today, a huge taboo in our society. It’s natural as it is catching a cold or bleeding from a wound, but somehow it is so horrible to talk about it. As a girl, a woman, a FEMALE, I find this outrageous… in particular in a post-contemporary world. So I’m glad they talked about it (Plus, I’ve always wondered how fictional character would’ve reacted in front of something so new, natural and weird… call me crazy, but I’m serious).
The Marilla - John Blythe’s moment. This is an addition that I LOVED. It’s quite normal nowadays to have flashbacks and flashforwards into stories and I was really hoping we could have something about other characters’ back story. Since this was also CANON in the books, I coulnd’t do anything but LOVE it. And the little ribbon he gave her which then Anne wore? So lovely :3
Jane Eyre’s references and titles of the episodes’ quotes. So… where do I start… Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë is my FAVOURITE BOOK OF ALL TIME. For real, if you ever ask me which book I will NEVER EVER get tired of, that’ll be it. I promise. So hearing references for the first time in another story that I loved, made me squeal of happiness. I was (and am) so excited and I totally accept Anne’s love for that story as canon.
These are basically the things I found really and utterly amazing… now, it’s time for the bad part (I know, I know, but there is unluckily plenty to say).
Tumblr media
Things I… DIDN’T love:
Matthew Cuthbert. I’m not really talking about R. H. Thomson’s performance as an actor, because he was good and simply following the script… It’s actually the screenwriting about the character that… we could say… I loathed. I’m not over-reacting or exaggerating… I seriously hated everything that was written for him (beside of course those moments coming canonically from the book). First of all, he talked way too much and was definitely too pro-active. I mean, Matthew loves Anne with all his heart, and that’s clear in the series, but he would’ve never left his house to reach her somewhere unknown… basically because he hardly ever left his house in general (already going to the Carmody train station to fetch the new orphan was a long journey for him). So his journey across Canada’s east coast to go and find Anne… I found it a bit OOC. Secondly: Matthew Cuthbert is SCARED of women. Completely scared of them (except for Marilla, Rachel Lynd, Anne and his long gone mother). There is NO WAY he could’ve fallen in love with a girl from school. There is NO WAY he would’ve found the courage to give her a button. There is NO WAY he would’ve gone into the girl’s clothes shop and started to talk with the above said crush of his childhood. Third and most important… as I said, Matthew LOVES Anne. He loves her and Marilla very much, so there is absolutely NO WAY he would’ve EVER thought of committing suicide just because they ran out of money. The more the series went on, the more I thought that the screen writer (who anyway did a great job for other things) didn’t understand Matthew’s character AT ALL. Nope, I’m sorry, but the only thing about Matthew in this portrayal is his name.
Avonlea’s hate for Anne. Other thing I really didn’t get. Or better, I get why they used it, but I don’t get why they went for it for SO LONG. Avonlea is the beginning of a completely new life for Anne. A life full of imagination, of school, friends and flowers and new things… So why on earth did they have to make it so hard??? Seriously, it felt like the screenwriter liked Anne’s sorrow. In every single moment there were people hating on her or teasing her or hurting her feelings. In the books there are only three (let’s say four) moments which are problematic for Anne’s arrival in Avonlea: Marilla explaining to her that they wanted a boy, Rachel Lynd’s harsh words for her, Gilbert’s teasing about her hair and Josie Pye being the little miss horrible she always is. That’s it. There’s always the problem with Diana’s parents after Anne gets her drunk, but that’s quite later in the book, so it’s not a “I don’t accept an orphan in the community” kind of thing (none is Gilbert’s teasing her for her hair, but lets pretend it is, just because it is early in the book). So basically, I didn’t understand why on earth Moira Walley-Beckett felt like Anne Shirley hadn’t had enough sadness in her life and added the hate of the community, Jane Andrew’s brother picking on her being a dog every three seconds, all the girls in the school being angry with her because she walked less than 10 feets from Gilbert and all the other horrible things that happened in this series. I mean… really???
The whole “we’re making the series more feminist and more stick to reality”. Yes… I mean I’m always fine with the more truthful and the historically accurate things… I mean, I’m also totally into feminism (as Beauty and the Beast did, I’m fine with that)… it’s just that… well… Anne of Green Gables is ALREADY a feminist story. Anne is an orphan, she doesn’t know her parents, she grows up until her 11 years old on her own or without adults and still, she is AMAZING. She goes to school and she becomes the best, she often is better than an older school boys and when she isn’t better she ties. I mean, as a late Nineteenth century novel, that’s already quite ahead of the time! Anne is a feminist. She goes to high school and she graduates in half of the time it was needed to. She then goes to college and takes a degree in literature. Anne is amazing on her own, there is no need to say it so many times by letting her do weird actions who would’ve and could’ve been quite dangerous (the fire at the Gillis’ house). I don’t know, I felt they went too much with that and with the “real” thing. I know this series was supposed to be more realistic… but somehow it made me feel like it had lost the poetry of the book. I don’t know how to explain it, but Anne of Green Gables books are always filled with magic. It’s like Anne, with her imagination, could take the reader in a magical world of her own and let him/her live there for a while. In this series the imagination was often left aside, and I think it’s a shame, because I would’ve definitely rather more imagination than all those useless Avonlea inhabitants being angry at Anne’s arrival in town.
John Blythe’s death + absence of Gilbert’s mother. Let’s talk about this… was it really a good choice? I’m going to talk about Gilbert also in the next point of this list, so this won’t last a lot, but… John Blythe’s death was probably one of the worst things about the series (with Matthew’s character). Firstly, Gilbert is known to have skipped two years of school in the book because of his father’s illness. His family would’ve come back in Avonlea only if John was feeling better, Why did they come back if he was still so hill? Why did he have to die? Why??? What’s the point? I felt like the only real point was putting in the plot Marilla and John’s love story. Seriously, I really believe this. I can’t explain it to myself otherwise. And why on earth is Gil’s mother missing? Why? Why would he become an orphan? So that Anne could become more attached to him and have that really cringe moment with him when she says that he had been luckier that her because he had at least known his parents? Who actually thought that all of this would’ve been a good idea? Why would they talk like this in such an early stage of their relationship? This leads me to the next point…
Anne and Gilbert’s relationship. Basically the thing that made me think the most. Anne and Gil’s relationship in the books is so… important. What I mean with this is that when, at the end of the first book they FINALLY become friends, it is overwhelming for the reader. If you haven’t read it, just go and do it, or at least go and watch Akage no Anne (which is basically the book itself) and you’ll understand. As a reader/viewer you wait soooooo much for them to finally have a truce, that when it happens, it is the best moment ever, I was actually sobbing and laughing at the same time when I first read it. So… what happens in “Anne with an E” is somehow… too fast, let’s say underestimated. Firstly, Anne not talking to Gilbert because her friends told her not to (because Ruby has a crush on him) is utterly horrible. Ruby does have a crush on Gilbert in the books, but it doesn’t come out as a totalitarianism or a propriety over him… Ruby is one of the sweetest girls of Avonlea, why would she do that? I found that quite horrible. Plus, Anne doesn’t talk to Gilbert in the first place because he is a boy full of himself who flirts with every single girl in school and, at the same time, teases them. Then Gilbert calls her carrots and then she starts to ignore him/tries to beat him in every subject at school/doesn’t even look at that boy. What I didn’t like in this series was the fact that Gilbert looked so cute all the time and Anne felt obliged not to interact with him because she wanted to fit in. That felt like a terribly written OOC part of Anne, I’m sorry, but it is. So basically, what then went wrong because of this, was that Gilbert and Anne hardly had a month or two of competing with each other, then John Blythe died and Gilbert LEFT SCHOOL. THAT IS THE MOST OOC GILBERT BLYTHE’S ACTION I’VE EVER SEEN. That’s why I found John’s death and his wife’s absence an absolute nonsense, because they made Gil leave, and he wants to become an amazing doctor and he wants to study a lot and go to Queens, which will lead him and Anne to live close and then it will make him win a medal and Anne a scholarship, and then both will have to give up their prices because life and they will start to work as teachers before going to college and Gil will decide to change Avonlea’s school for the White Sand’s school so Anne can be closer to Green Gables, and that will let them start their amazing friendship which will later (LATEEEEEEEER) on become a BEAUTIFUL ROMANCE AND ALL OF THIS IS MISSING BECAUSE IN THIS SERIES THEY ALREADY ARE KIND OF FRIENDS BECAUSE SHE NEVER ACTUALLY HAD THE CHANCE TO HATE HIM… Yup, as you can see, I’m quite angry at this. It’s just that… Lucy Maud Montgomery built their relationship in a masterly way, and all these moments in the series (still really cute and lot of them felt like they were well made, don’t get me wrong; I mean, Anne bringing Gilbert books from school? That’s fine with me) felt like the screenwriter forgot everything Gil and Anne have to pass through before having a real friendship. I don’t know, I haven’t really been a fan of the “I would make a terrible wife” moment. Just… why?
Last, but not least, the two men who hit Jerry who start to live at Green Gables. Seriously… what is that? I already am not a fan of the whole “the Cuthberts lost all their money” because… duh, that’s what strikes Matthew’s departure at the end of the books, so how are they going to put that…? Anyway, why adding this kind of plot twist / cliffhanger at the end of it? Just, why? Please, I don’t want it to be because they want to steal the little left in the house. And please, since they’re all for the realistic stuff, please, I don’t want to see any rapes in this story. We already have so many bad things in the real world, let this little girl be… No, I’m really not a fan of this thing that happened at the end of the last episode. I wasn’t even a fan of Jerry and this friendship he builds with Anne… why is it even there? I really don’t get these additions
So, basically, I liked this series. Really, it might feel like I didn’t, but I did, and I personally recommend it a lot. I feel like it is a series with a larger target, maybe with also some male fans here and there, because it is more “realistic” and less “girlish” as a lot of people would say. I’ve always had the idea that stories are stories anyway and that there aren’t girls or boys novels, that’s actually quite a dated way of seeing literature. I believe it would be useful for girls to read books as “The Treasure Island” as much as it would be for boys to read books as “Anne of Green Gables” or “Jane Eyre”. Anyway, I know society isn’t completely ready for this and it depends on us whether the future generations will accept this or not.
I think the screenwriting of this series could’ve been done in a much better way simply sticking slightly more with Montgomery’s masterpiece… it still is a really well done tv series and the spirit of almost all the characters is still there, but the magic and poetic parts of Anne’s story are gone as well as her imagination is, and I could’t be sadder for that.
