One of the things Anne with an E does best is represent intentional families.

AwaE is fantastic for portraying that nuclear families (Dad + Mom and 2.3 kids) are not necessarily the ideal we should be striving for. In fact, all the families that are blood-related, and therefore forced to be a family, have major relationship issues - think the Pyes, the Barrys, or the Andrews. Let’s look at a few intentional families in the show:

The Cuthberts

Matthew and Marilla are siblings who, for one reason or another, never married or had children. As would have been socially acceptable at that time, they lived together because Marilla wasn’t able to be on her own as an unmarried woman. They acquire Anne by accident, and come to love her almost immediately. Although they have their fair share of squabbles, the three of them support each other through a multitude of issues - from health problems and financial instability, to identity crises and romance troubles. They may not be conventional parents, but Matthew and Marilla raise Anne the best they know how, and with all the love they have to give. 

The Blythe-LaCroix Family

Perhaps the ‘oddest’ family portrayed by the show, we have Sebastian Lacroix, a labourer who has emigrated from Trinidad; Gilbert Blythe, an orphaned teen whose father left him a farm; and Delphine, the infant daughter of Bash and his late wife, Mary. Gilbert and Bash call each other ‘brother’, and to Delphine, Gil is referred to as ‘Uncle Gilby’ by others. Initially, they worked together on the boat, and later on the Blythe farm. Now, they live together as a family, cook and share meals, and provide emotional support to each other as they face many hardships. The death of Bash’s wife hits the entire family hard, and they are forced to accept help from many women in their community to raise Delphine. While they have occasional arguments (usually related to miscommunication), Gilbert and Bash are the ultimate example of intentional family. 

Josephine Barry + Cole Mackenzie

An elderly ‘spinster’ (widowed after the death of her female life partner) and a gay teen runaway make the perfect pair. After growing up in a working-class family, and struggling to be himself in a closed-minded community, Cole heads for Charlottetown, and is welcomed, as well as unconditionally accepted for exactly who he is, by Josephine. She has company after being alone for many years, and he has someone he can relate to. Also, it helps that Aunt Josephine has money, so they can have extravagant parties with all their flamboyantly gay friends. It’s beautiful, and I love it.  

In conclusion, Anne with an E features beautiful relationships between people who are a family because they choose it daily, not because it is required of them because of their genetics.

I have this headcanon that after working for the Zoological Society for a few years, Deryn and Alek just... start living their own life a bit differently than they envisioned at the end of Goliath. Because after a while, politics and diplomacy get boring (they're very good at it, but it's not the same).

Deryn can't be a midshipman in the Air Force? Well, she probably could be a boffin, she's got the smarts for that and she loves beasties already. It can't be that hard, after basically saving the world, right?

And Alek would probably start missing the clanker technology after a while. He's in a foreign country and piloting and repairing engines was part of his life for the course of the entire trilogy, something that always made him happy.

So, they build their own airship. Deryn fabricates its life-threads and Alek builds the engines, and maybe it even breaks the record that the Leviathan set before. They could travel around the world, maybe even doing some work for the society.

They spend some time in the clanker countries and Alek shows Deryn the castle he grew up in, and he finally sees his home after running away as a child. He can speak and hear his own language, connect with his people now as a commoner.

When they're in the air, Deryn can finally be who she is without pretense. She doesn't need to worry that her secret will be discovered, no, she's the boffin who fabricated this ship and the Captain too. Nobody can tell her what to do and who to be.

I know this is probably cheesy, but as I was rereading the books, I felt so sorry for these kids and how they can never fit exactly in. I also think that this idea is most likely present in some shape or form in the fandom, but I tried to make my own spin on a post-canon version of their life.

Kai definitely writes Cinder love letters when she’s on Luna. And They are her favorite thing in the world and she rereads them when she has a bad day.🥰☺️

Either people with ADHD need to stop being so relatable or I need to go to the doctor

you hear about recovery not being linear (”there are ups and downs”), but actually it’s more like a game of wack-a-mole. this is not a bad thing

CHECK OUT PROJECT SEA STAR’S ACCOUNTS ON Twitter & Instagram!

In season three, Anne With an E introduced a Residential School storyline, educating many people around the world on a topic to which they previously had no exposure. Anne taught us to take action to help others, so as a fandom community, Anne Nation has decided to launch this project to donate money to the Legacy of Hope Foundation.

Their mission is “educating and raising awareness about the history and many legacies of the Residential School System" in the hope that "by educating people about the maltreatment in Residential Schools, ongoing systemic racism, and intergenerational trauma faced by Indigenous Peoples we can work toward healing and reconciliation."

Our donation will be made in the name of Anne With An E and the money will be deposited directly to this registered Canadian charitable organization, so none of us will have access to any of the money.

This fandom has given us friendships, education, inspiration, and opportunity. It is our hope that we can channel that energy, enthusiasm, and love into creating a positive impact in our world.

For more information about this organization, please visit their website.
