“If you had married Roy Gardner, now,” continued Gilbert mercilessly, “you could have been ‘a leader in social and intellectual circles far away from Four Winds.’“

“Gilbert Blythe!”

“You know you were in love with him at one time, Anne.”

“Gilbert, that’s mean— ‘pisen mean, just like all the men,’ as Miss Cornelia says. I never was in love with him. I only imagined I was. You know that. You know I’d rather be your wife in our house of dreams and fulfillment than a queen in a palace.”

Anne’s House of Dreams, Chapter 14 “November Days”

curious to know about your changing attitude towards lm montgomery! i was always someone who focused on her writing over her, but i've definitely had authors I really connected with personally that are like uh oh when I took a deeper look into their life lol (idk if that's what you meant, but it reminded me of that given the kilmeny context)

This is a good and obvious question and I suspected I’d need to explain it as soon as I made that comment lol 😅

So. As everyone here probably knows, I grew up on Emily. I grew up Emily, in a way. I read those books at 11 and never really stopped reading them. I wanted to be Emily and Ilse, I wanted a friend group like theirs with Perry and Teddy, I wanted a mentor like Dean Priest (yes, like Dean), I wanted Emily’s confidence and hard working attitude toward her dream of being a successful writer, I wanted her young success. I thought everything in those books were true and beautiful. Of course, I loved Anne too—I read the Aogg series at around 9-10 and continued rereading my faves as I aged into them but they didn’t speak to me the same way. They didn’t speak through me. They didn’t make me who I am. And I had a strange sense of belonging with the Emily books that was incredibly intimate. They were mine. Someone I knew in college was curious about them because of course I couldn’t help talking about these formative books, but I refused to tell them the title lol. I felt like anyone would immediately know too much about me if they read the series too, and that felt like a violation.

But here I am. I’ve found an incredible community of other LMM fans. You all have read my metas and know my opinions, and I’ve seen some incredible analyses and headcanons that have broken my brain open in the best way about interpreting some stuff. I love it here. But that also means Montgomery isn’t mine in the same ways. The way those books impacted me as a kid won’t ever change, and neither really will the way that the words still twine themselves around my life (having a quote from the books to fall back on to express a hard day still makes the day marginally better). But it’s a bit like a coming out. Your relationship to an inimical thing automatically changes when you share it with other likeminded people, if only because now you have a community to make it greater.

And of course my feelings for Maud herself have changed. I see her racism much more clearly than before. I see how much of her own pain and trauma went into the stories that I wanted to pattern my life on. I see how problematic Dean is lol. And all this doesn’t make me like her any less. But she’s no longer the Holy Grail author she was to me for years and years.

I think part of this is me getting older, of course. I joked to @blackcatwalking when I turned 24 that I passed Emily’s debut age and would soon out-age her altogether. (@blackcatwalking’s extremely soothing reply was that this was why we have Valancy Stirling! To prove life doesn’t end at the end of our 20s!) But all jokes aside, and as much as I identify with Emily, I have made those books what they are to me because of myself, if that makes sense. The whole “there are a thousand Hamlets for a thousand readers” thing. Maud’s Emily isn’t my Emily, and my Emily and my own self and the stories I write and carry around because of her have to grow out of Maud’s shadow and take their own identity.

#this got VERY PERSONAL WOW #that being said it’s really the first time i’ve been able to articulate any of this so i’m kind of happy #thank you for swinging by my inbox batrachised!#blake’s last braincell #lmm lockdown

Anne of Green Gables - imagination leading to empathy?

So, in the chapter A Concert a Catastrophe and a Confession in AOGG, when Anne and Diana get home from the concert (a new, joyful experience for Anne), they are permitted to sleep the spare room, and Anne suggests they race to the bed. But, of course, the bed is already occupied by Aunt Josephine who came for an unexpected visit. The poor lady is frightened to death and is so angry the next day, she insist on leaving immediately. Anne feels bad and goes over to Orchard Slope to apologise. Aunt Josephine is not having it at first, telling Anne: do you know what it's like to be awakened from a sleep, after a long journey, by two kids jumping on you? To which Anne responds: "I don't know but I can imagine!"

Imagination is Anne's most distinct feature. She is misunderstood because of it and sometimes she gets in trouble because of it, but here we see how her imagination serves her with trying to empathise with a person she otherwise has nothing in common with. Anne suggests Aunt Josephine should use her imagination too, to understand how she'd feel is she was a poor orphan given a chance to sleep in a spare room. Aunt Josephine laughs and the two become friends.

"I dare say your claim to sympathy is just as strong as mine. It all depends on the way we look at it."

This also shows that Aunt Josephine is not one of those ignorant, narrow minded people that often appear in LMM's books. I love me some happy single rich lady relative!

When Little Women and Anne Of Green Gables Collide (With Star)

I am a day late and I'm sorry, I had a bit of technical difficulty. Fortunately, it is all solved now and the Little Women podcast is back on track. My guest Star is here to talk to us about Heroine's Journey and we are discussing the heroine's journey in Lucy Maud Montgomery's Anne of Green Gables and Jo's heroine's journey in Little Women. I was told that Gilbert's proposal to Anne in the 80s AOGG is almost exactly the same as Laurie's proposal to Jo in 1933 Little Women. Of course, I had to check if this was true and I have recorded these two proposals and mine and Star's reactions. It is an interesting detail and I think it might be one of the reasons why so many people somehow link Anne and Gil and Jo and Laurie together. Oh Hollywood what do you do to us?

"such a troublesome person" - I wish I was better versed in both Anne of Green Gables and the Grisha-verse so I could appreciate all the world-building details that went into this crossover, but I am fascinated by the parallels between Anne's record in school in the original Montgomery becomes her determination to rise in the world via her training as a Grisha in Ravka - and what it means for her to be, much like Alina - an orphan in a hard world. Anne's not a warlike person, so her struggle to find a place seems doubly poignant! I do wonder - is there such a thing as raspberry cordial in Ravka?

You’re so delightfully kind to write this comment, since the story itself appealed to possibly the smallest sliver of readers, although I think if only the AOGG crowd would read/watch a little bit of SaB, they’d recognize the Pyes as a sniping cadet branch of the Lantsov dynasty within seconds. The toughest part of this was trying to figure out how to transpose Anne’s greatest gift—her imagination—into an equivalent Grisha power, since so many of theirs have to do with the manipulations within physics, AND it’s always been a pet peeve of mine that there is no division which purely focuses on mind/dream control. Gilbert makes a wonderful budding Healer and I couldn’t resist a cameo by Moody Spurgeon as a feckless Durast who always has a hint of smoked herring about his person!

(Honestly, I wrote the whole thing just so I could have Anne say to Aleksander, “Kindred spirits are not so scarce as I used to think” when he finds her in the Library, reading about the Black Heretic after the battle, so he finally gets to have someone understand why he did what he did and not be called to account for it…)

May I ask for 9 and 11 for the Fic Writer Ask Game? 💙💙💙

9. What inspired you to write your first fic?

Ohh, I have an answer to that! Two answers, actually :D

First, and here comes a name, @cried2dream wrote this mind-blowingly amazing hiccelsa fic called Thaw Slowly. It was one of the first fanfics I ever came across (and it was... not... seven years ago...), and one that I loved so, so much from the start, and which inspired a whole lot of daydreaming on my end. It was partly about the same fandom (httyd my beloved <3), it included - and here's the other reason for writing - a very cringe-worthy self-insert which then I cleverly swapped for another character (hehe). A few months later Once Mine, a heavily canon-based snunzel hiccunzel story came into this world.

more than 4 fandoms and 2434123246 interests later, I am still here and thriving. and it's you guys who have to bear the consequences i'm afraid.

11. Who is your favourite character(s) to write about and why?

Now, I don't know if it's because of how many fandoms I've written for so far, but I can't give you an exact answer to this question. What I can tell you though, is that I definitely do have a soft spot for side characters, no matter what the story and fandom I am currently writing for. From Snotlout and the Twins in HTTYD, to Phil and Marilla in AOGG, to Sabine Dupain-Cheng and Hanano respectively saving the day in my Shanghai's Special rewrite and Our Sleeves... They have always felt like a breath of fresh air and a chance to loosen up a bit.

They're new - they're different - they're only here for this one moment and this one particular purpose, which of course never stops them from doing whatever they desire and turning my carefully crafted scenarios upside down. And I love them so much for doing this every time.

(note that this doesn't apply to the main characters acting out of line like this. yes, Mashima-kun, I am looking at you)

I hope you're happy with the answers I could give you here :) Thanks so much for asking - and so quickly - for showing interest and readiness to read my writing related rambles. I hope I can deliver more of the actual writing sometime soon, too.

Anne was back in Avonlea with the lustre of the Thorburn Scholarship on her brow. People told her she hadn’t changed much, in a tone which hinted they were surprised and a little disappointed she hadn’t. Avonlea had not changed, either. At least, so it seemed at first. But as Anne sat in the Green Gables pew, on the firt Sunday after her return, and looked over the congregation, she saw several little changes which, all coming home to her at once, made her realize that time did not quite stand still, even in Avonlea. A new minister was in the pulpit. In the pews more than one familiar face was missing for ever. Old “Uncle Abe,” his prophesying over and done with, Mrs. Peter Sloane, who had sighed, it was to be hoped, for the last time, Timothy Cotton, who, as Mrs. Rachel Lynde said “had actually managed to die at last after practising at it for twenty years.”
