Having lived through the Great War only a few years prior, L. M. Montgomery penned Rilla of Ingleside in 1921 with a powerful poignancy that still immerses readers in the pain and tragedy of the time as if it were their own.
Here are 9 important quotes from the book, compiled in honor of Veterans Day.

Yes, yes and yes!!!! @lollercakesff and @royalcordelia
What’s the best awae fic you’ve ever read
I thought long and hard about this one because they’re all so freaking good! Like honestly??? This fandom is full of super talented writers who have all whisked me away to different worlds.
If you’re looking for stories that read like the books, Catiegirl on fanfiction is your go-to gal. Shore of Dreams is my personal fav.
My heart also belongs to @lollercakesff and Purple_Slippers_18 on ao3. Aside from these exceedingly wonderful writers, I have a soft spot for my own stories, since they cater to my own fic tastes.

The World Before Me
I have a new fic!
Please check it out here.
It is an AU based on Gilbert’s time traveling on the S.S. Primrose.
In this reality, Mathew never find Anne after she is sent away from Green Gables. Life, of course, goes on even without Anne, and things in Avonlea progress as they were always meant to, including the sad death of John Blythe. Alone and unsure, Gilbert flees Avonlea for the sea where his path crosses with a spirited redheaded girl who DOES NOT like to be called carrots.
This is a Gilbert-centric fic, mainly because he is my favourite character and I love his coming of age story arc in Season Two, and I’m intrigued by the themes of grief and mourning, especially for characters so young and full of hope.
So, if you adore Gilbert Blythe, Anne Shirley, and if you want to see how the first buds of their romance may bloom in different circumstances, please give my fic a try!

Anne with an E Season 3 Trailer Breakdown Part II
I saved my very favourites, and the very best, for the sequel post!
Alright, so there are 3 things I am LIVING for this season of AWAE: kindred love, shirbert, and Anne’s search for self.
So let’s do this:
Kindred Love - Anne/Diana
Those heart necklaces!!!! I mean, who didn’t have some kind of friends forever trinket with their kindred spirit (I still have mine!). Based on weather and clothes, this looks like springtime, so my original theory of the necklace being Diana’s gift to Anne for her birthday is probably way off.
I can’t tell if Diana has the necklace on in this scene, but the clothes match, as does the forest and the lighting. Plus we get to see Jerry (wow, did he grow up!). The fact he’s fixing his coat makes me think he might be off to meet someone important to Diana (cough*parents*cough). It’s possible this scene could take place after Diana and Anne part ways with those adorable blown kisses.
BTW, what are we calling this pairing. Is it too late for me to throw Diarry into the ring?
Diana’s necklace appears again in this scene (can’t see Anne’s for all of that magnificent red hair). Once again, it seems it’s springtime as the girls appear to be dressed like Maypole dancers and their bonfire ballet certainly has that same energy. I don’t think the necklace shows up again save for some photos Amybeth posted after their last day of shooting.
It looks like, despite some romance on the horizon, Anne and Diana’s friendship is as solid as ever. Case in point:
I wouldn’t want to be Josie Pye right now. She’s about to be DESTROYED.
The Anne/Diana kindred spirit friendship is what all best friendships strive to be, and I hope everyone in the world is lucky enough to find their own bosom companion.
Alright. Next, the one ship to rule them all...
Shirbert. How I love thee, let me count the ways...and we’ll be here for years.
I am very excited for the Shirbert we will get this season, and with the upcoming dance and Anne’s search for self, I think we’ll have a lot more of those wonderful Anne/Gilbert parallels that have peppered the show since the start.
We actually get quite a bit of footage from the dance practice episode, including the above scene. Like most, I do think this particular scene takes place after the day’s dance lessons. Why they are looking at each other like that, I have no idea, but their expressions definitely have me thinking that someone has said something rather reveling about their feelings (unrealized and/or unacknowledged as they may be).
Other great moments from this episode that appeared in the trailer include:
And...
I’m suspecting this scene will happen before Anne and Gilbert’s staring at each other moment...
...because Anne certainly seems panicked in a similar way.
As Charlie has his jacket on, this scene is likely happening before the dance lesson, which makes me suspect that the dance partners are assigned not picked (although, Anne appears to be enjoying her dance with Charlie).
Maybe Charlie’s too obvious affection is worrying Anne, and then maybe she says something to Gilbert in passing conversation about Charlie liking her and that’s why they stare at each other so intently. After all, Anne’s face suggests a ‘crap-didn’t-mean-to-say-that’ expression while Gilbert just looks confused and perplexed and even a smidge worried (I’m not a big fan of the jealous-boys trope, but I do like the idea of Gilbert having to really examine/explore his feelings for Anne when he’s made aware that one of his chums has semi-sort-of declared intentions towards her).
This next shot of Anne walking:
I think could be from the same episode and immediately after the Gilbert look, since Anne appears to be deep in thought, as she often is when she has a charged run-in with the love of her life. Also, the clothing does match, as does the lighting and the time of year as suggested by other scenes.
Plus, and I can’t explain it, something about her expression just says ‘boy troubles’.
Then, of course, we have this promo pic...
...which seems to confirm, based on the costumes, that it was taken the same day as these dance scenes were filmed. If I recall correctly, this pic was posted pretty early in production, so that may mean the dance lessons are an early episode (yay!).
And finally, I end my Shirbert dance analysis on this too, too romantic moment:
I know, the Gilbert Blythe heart eyes are amazing and Anne’s smile is radiant, but have you looked at their HANDS!!!!!!
I don’t know why I’m obsessed with it, but the way they’re holding hands in this moment makes my heart squeeze and race and fly and flutter and gasp and just ACHE with how wonderful this tender touch is.
And now, we close on the final theme of AWAE S3: Anne’s search for self.
I am very excited for story and character development. One of my favourite parts of AWAE S2 was Gilbert’s gap year in Trinidad as he searched the world for experiences, knowledge, and adventure, but also for healing, meaning, and identity. I was tickled when it was announced Anne would embark on her own search for knowledge as to who she is, which would include where she came from.
In fact ,it seems as if part of Anne’s journey will involve having to go delve into her past, and that may take her to some dark places.
Does this brick wall and staircase look familiar? Because I’m pretty sure this is the asylum where the girls tormented Anne with the dead mouse. A recent promo indicated Anne will be returning to the asylum for answers.
Anne’s coat and hat match up.
The coat and hat also have me thinking that this moment:
Might be Anne departing for Charlottetown on the first leg of her self-discovery journey. I say departing rather than returning, because Marilla looks just a bit sad and reluctant to let Anne go, but let her go she shall.
The good news: it doesn’t seem as if Anne will be going alone. Besides the fact that Cole appears at her side as she’s approaching the asylum, this BTS pic:
Hints that Gilbert may be taking part in some of Anne’s journey, too. Her hat and coat match up, and we know that’s Gilbert thanks to his ever present book bag and paperboy cap.
Do Anne and Gilbert go to Charlottetown together? Do they meet up? Does Gilbert go to the asylum, too, or is there another leg of the journey he’ll join her on? Will they go back to the Hammonds? To the Thomases? Will we go all the way back to Bolingbrook?! My heart can hardly wait.
Finally, I end this breakdown/analysis with the theory that no one wants to talk about, but is certainly the one that needs some attention:
The possible, and sadly likely, untimely death of Mathew Cuthbert.
We know he dies in the books, and we know he dies when Anne is 16. Although AWAE is an adaptation, Mathew’s death feels like an inevitable conclusion; it will happen at some point, and most likely when we won’t expect it, but it will happen.
Mathew doesn’t feature much in the trailer, but he does get one of the rather poetic and emotional lines, speaking of love being like a storm, upsetting your plans, but he reiterates that, though he never could have planned for Anne and the upheaval she brought to his life, he wouldn’t change it, not for the world.
Truly, it is Anne and Mathew’s relationship that has to capture you from the very beginning if AWAE. If you don’t crumble when he calls her his daughter, then why are you watching this show?
The father/daughter relationship is set up as being important to both of these characters, so the loss of that connection through death is certainly going to have some devastating effects on the young lady left behind. At first I thought Mathew’s death (which, if it does happen, I believe will occur in the middle of the season) might be the impetus that spurs Anne on to learning more about herself, but now I’m wondering if his death may be what makes her realize that her past, the good and the bad, is what brought her to Green Gables, and to Marilla and Mathew. While she may feel glad to know who made her and where she came from, that doesn’t change the simple fact that she is Anne Shirley-Cuthbert, daughter of Mathew Cuthbert, and that girl, well, she’s rather spectacular.
And so concludes my trailer breakdown for Anne with an E Season Three.
Let me know your thoughts!
Share your theories with me as we make the agonizing wait for S3 a pleasant passage of time with kindred spirits one and all!

Anne with an E Season 3 Trailer Breakdown Part I
Alright! For my first post (after my first post, which was more of an introductory post, but never mind all that) I am going to talk about something I’ve been dying to talk about for ages: the Anne with an E Season Three trailer!
I’m going to break it down, postulate on some theories as to where the story will go, and play a little game of connect the dots.
Please join me...
So the trailer opens with this scene:
I’m pretty confident this is S3′s first scene. We’ll open on Anne’ 16th birthday. Either before or after she makes that wonderful announcement from her perch in Green Gables, I’m sure we’ll get this moment where she’s looking herself over in the mirror (no doubt trying to determine if she looks older, more mature, pretty, or even wise - FYI, Anne, you’re all of those things and more)
Next is Anne blowing out the candle on her birthday cake followed by this scene:
Obviously we are in the classroom and Anne is distressed about something...and I’m betting that something is Gilbert.
The reason I say that: check out Ruby behind Anne.
She’s looking pretty moon-eyed and enamoured at something across the room, and I only know of one person who makes her swoon like that. Perhaps Gilbert is being commended for good grades/test scores? Maybe Anne is feeling inadequate educationally? Maybe talk of the Queens’ entrance exams has Gilbert feeling ready and Anne worried? All I want to know is, what and/or who are you smiling at, Ruby?!
Next:
I’m super happy we’ll get more Bash and Mary. Now, this scene has had people speculating on possible conceiving troubles, or even a miscarriage for our poor Lacroixs. I have two other possible options on why Mary may be crying in bed.
My first thought is that Mary’s son may be in some trouble. She did say he was involved with bootlegging, so the potential for some heartache concerning him is there.
My second thought was that AWAE may delve into the difficult subject of postpartum depression, and the reason I say that is:
Mary totally has a baby.
I’m serious. Look at Bash’s line of sight. He’s not looking at Mary’s profile, he’s looking at her back and she has something strapped to her. There’s a baby in that checked scarf, I tell you! And if you need to make a comparison, look at the pic below to see how Bash looks actually looking at Mary (I am SO excited for Baby Lacroix!!!!)
Then there’s this scene:
Now, at first I thought the Lyndes were reading an obituary (tears*Mathew*tears) and that was why they looked somewhat sad. But the more I looked at this pic, the more I started thinking they may not be sad so much as they are being moved. Whatever they are reading is certainly making them quite emotional. And the reason I bring this scene up is...
Anne is reading something in this scene (it’s cut off and you don’t see much, but it did look like paper). Could Anne and the Lyndes be reading the same thing? Or did Anne write something that ended up in the newspaper and that’s what the Lyndes are reading? What words are making everyone look like this?!!!
And then there’s this scene:
Which I think connects with the other two (the Lyndes and Anne reading) only because it seems to carry the same emotional weight (it doesn’t hurt that Anne’s wearing the same dress; with the pinafore, I know, but these are my dots and my lines and I’ll connect them in whichever way I want).
And then, one of my favourite scenes from the trailer:
Besides the fact that I love a tea party, I’m looking at these pics (one from the trailer, the other a snapshot from the wrap party) because I genuinely have no idea whose party it is! I mean, Anne looks pleased and surprised, but nowhere near as shocked as Diana. Is this party for her? Or was she sent out to distract Anne while the girls planned everything and Diana was totally in the dark over the details? Are we in winter, because Diana does have her scarf on so it seems she was out and Anne may have been in on the whole thing (perhaps playing hostess as she’s the one with the apron).
So many questions...and I really want some tea and pastries now, so I guess this is a good place to end Part I of my AWAE S3 trailer breakdown.
Part II will be posted soon.

Salutations!
Hello one and all!
Allow me to introduce myself: I am LavenderMuses18, also known as Purple_Slippers_18 on AO3.
I have come to the deep blue ocean of tumblr with the idea that I am going to blog about my current (is it current if it’s been constant since childhood?) obsession: Anne of Green Gables.
Or to be more specific: Anne with an E
I have long been a fan of the precocious Anne-girl from PEI and since I am not only loving the new adaptation but also finding myself quite inspired by it, I thought having a new place to be able to discuss my thoughts, ideas, and post my creations couldn’t hurt.
I am very excited to join so many of you in this energized and welcoming fandom, and I look forward to sharing the journey that Season Three is sure to take us on.
Salute and Cheers!
