Never forget the wig. NEVER!

They're her most popular books for a reason, and I still love them, too.

As for feminist... yeah, I don't expect that. The first book was written in 1908, there's very little chance it's going to resemble anything like modern feminism. It's true, despite her higher education and aspirations for her writing, Anne ends up in a very traditional wife and mother role. I still love her character because of her imagination, and how it got her into trouble as a kid because that was pretty much me, too.

That said, I also love the Story Girl books and The Blue Castle, but Anne is a standout character in Montgomery's work.

That would be interesting and I'd love to read takes like that! But yeah, likely too challenging for the average writer to do well. Representation in fandom can be kind of... performative and very feelgood. People want that quick payoff and praise, and making fanart where a white character is suddenly a POC is a hell of a lot easier than the approach you describe.

I miss having a large, well-stocked library near me for in-person browsing. Online isn't quite the same, it's the experience and the leisurely reading pages that I miss. That said, the older I get, the more I struggle to find books that I connect to as a reader. Lots of them fall into this "great concept, meh execution" category and I end up being disappointed a lot at what initially sounded like a really promising book.

They'd probably say sorry and back out slowly if someone came up to them ranting about them being mean when they were 12 or 13.

Well that happened

A dumb burp came up while I was trying to eat my dinner and I snorted a piece of broccoli through my nose. Thankfully, I was able to blow it into a tissue.

Any weird stuff happen to you lately? The more random or physics-defying, the better.

Hmmm....

I never had FB so I guess I've never had to deal with that. I might say "hi" to old classmates and "catch up" for five minutes but would probably leave it at that. I don't have those attachments to school or childhood friendships either.

(Anonymous) 2025-03-24 11:07 pm (UTC)(link)
I never had childhood friends, either. And yeah, that shit hurt for a long time so I’m sorry, OP. But tbh I haven’t thought about it in a very long time and when I do I’m a little sad about it but the hurt has long since faded. I have friends now and a healthy relationship with the world and life in general. I think that’s what I was really missing as a kid and the friends are just the visible proof of having that.

(Anonymous) 2025-03-24 11:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you for making my secret, OP! I’m sorry I couldn’t shorten it more but you did an amazing job with my wall of text <3

Also, the new book came out today so the timing couldn’t be more perfect!
