She had her own inner life of dream and fancy. She fashioned secret drama for herself out of everything she heard or saw or read and sojourned in realms of wonder and romance. "Far, far away" had always been words of magic to her.

- L.M. Montgomery, Anne of Ingleside (1939)

This is by no means hating on Anne or her choices! I am just curious about what you think. (Also, I read one review of Anne of Ingleside in which somebody taked about their own feelings about it ;)).

Thank you for voting!

Only Shirley stood his ground, gazing fearlessly at her out of his round brown eyes from the safe anchorage of Susan's lap and arm. Aunt Mary Maria thought the Ingleside children had very bad manners. But what could you expect when they had a mother who "wrote for the papers" and a father who thought they were perfection just because they were his children…

From Anne of Ingleside by L.M. Montgomery

#this isn’t my usual gilbert #he’s far more mature in age than i usually try my hand at #so he’s not exactly right yet #but lmm was very clear that gilbert kept his ‘splendid’ chin and ‘fine features’ and ‘lean’ and ‘handsome’ face #so he’s a start #baby shirley #didn’t really do much blending for shirley’s clothes sry #l.m. montgomery #anne of ingleside #once again… charcoal and graphite and highlight

so @shirleyjblythe posted a super fun poll to guess Shirley's middle name so of course I decided to research all the Blythe children's names bc apparently I don't know what to do with myself until school starts again!! give them a follow bc I am HERE for the Shirley appreciation

Joyce Blythe (deceased) is the only Blythe child not named for someone else. Anne wanted to call her Joy bc she was overjoyed at having a baby.

ok so Jem is actually James Matthew Blythe but they call him Jem (after Captain Jim and Matthew, in House of Dreams Anne says they were the two best men she knew outside of Gil)

Walter is apparently the next oldest, which I never put together - he is older than the twins. He is Walter Cuthbert Blythe in honor of Matthew and Marilla, and the Walter is in honor of Anne's father, Walter Shirley, who died shortly after her birth.

The twins are Anne and Diana (Nan and Di for short) after Anne and Diana of course. We don't learn their middle names.

Shirley is named after Anne's parents (Walter and Bertha Shirley) but we don't learn his middle name. Maybe something for Gil's side of the family?

Rilla is Betha Marilla Blythe, after Anne's birth mother (Bertha Shirley) and adoptive mother (Marilla Cuthbert)

You Have My Attention: Anne of Green Gables First Lines

The icon of Canadian girlhood needs no introduction, as Anne of Green Gables is a global phenomenon at this point. What those of you who read the first book at like age ten and then didn't bother exploring further might not know, however, is that LM Montgomery wrote a whole Anne series. So how did she catch a reader's attention? Let's find out!

"Mrs. Rachel Lynde lived just where the Avonlea main road dipped down into a little hollow, fringed with alders and ladies’ eardrops and traversed by a brook that had its source away back in the woods of the old Cuthbert place; it was reputed to be an intricate, headlong brook in its earlier course through those woods, with dark secrets of pool and cascade; but by the time it reached Lynde’s Hollow it was a quiet, well-conducted little stream, for not even a brook could run past Mrs. Rachel Lynde’s door without due regard for decency and decorum; it probably was conscious that Mrs. Rachel was sitting at her window, keeping a sharp eye on everything that passed, from brooks and children up, and that if she noticed anything odd or out of place she would never rest until she had ferreted out the whys and wherefores thereof."

-- Anne of Green Gables

"A tall, slim girl, 'half-past sixteen,' with serious gray eyes and hair which her friends called auburn, had sat down on the broad red sandstone doorstep of a Prince Edward Island farmhouse one ripe afternoon in August, firmly resolved to construe so many lines of Virgil."

-- Anne of Avonlea

"'Harvest is ended and summer is gone,' quoted Anne Shirley, gazing across the shorn fields dreamily."

-- Anne of the Island

"(Letter from Anne Shirley, B.A., Principal of Summerside High School, to Gilbert Blythe, medical student at Redmond College, Kingsport.)

Windy Poplars,

Spook's Lane,

S'side, P. E. I.,

Monday, September 12th.

DEAREST:

Isn't that an address!"

-- Anne of the Windy Poplars

"'Thanks be, I’m done with geometry, learning or teaching it,' said Anne Shirley, a trifle vindictively, as she thumped a somewhat battered volume of Euclid into a big chest of books, banged the lid in triumph, and sat down upon it, looking at Diana Wright across the Green Gables garret, with gray eyes that were like a morning sky."

-- Anne's House of Dreams

"'How white the moonlight is tonight!' said Anne Blythe to herself, as she went up the walk of the Wright garden to Diana Wright's front door, where little cherry-blossom petals were coming down on the salty, breeze-stirred air."

-- Anne of Ingleside

"It was a clear, apple-green evening in May, and Four Winds Harbour was mirroring back the clouds of the golden west between its softly dark shores. The sea moaned eerily on the sand-bar, sorrowful even in spring, but a sly, jovial wind came piping down the red harbour road along which Miss Cornelia’s comfortable, matronly figure was making its way towards the village of Glen St. Mary."

-- Rainbow Valley

"It was a warm, golden-cloudy, lovable afternoon. In the big living-room at Ingleside Susan Baker sat down with a certain grim satisfaction hovering about her like an aura; it was four o'clock and Susan, who had been working incessantly since six that morning, felt that she had fairly earned an hour of repose and gossip."

-- Rilla of Ingleside

Castles in the Air

I'm extremely excited to announce that the game I've been working on for the past 4 years is coming to Kickstarter! Castles in the Air (CitA) is a tabletop RPG inspired by the novels of Louisa May Alcott and L.M. Montgomery. Players start as children with boundless dreams who will change over the years based on the relationships they form and choices they make. I think it's a really special game, and I'm looking forward to being able to share it with everyone.

For more information or to sign up to be notified when the Kickstarter launches on May 14th, please check out the game's page on the Storybrewers Roleplaying website. If that name sounds familiar, Storybrewers is the company that created Good Society: A Jane Austen RPG. I feel very honored that they reached out to me about publishing Castles in the Air. While Castles in the Air is a standalone game, its mechanics are inspired by Good Society, and if you like Good Society, I think you'll like CitA too as it allows you to tell similarly compelling stories.

I will be creating some blog posts talking about the literary inspirations for different parts of the game in the weeks leading up to the Kickstarter and during its run. I will be using this as a master post to keep track of all of them, so make sure to check back here or follow my blog if you are interested.

Please, give me an adaptation of Anne of Green Gables that faithfully covers House of Dreams and Ingleside (my two favorite books in the series)

Oh, I would've killed for an adaptation of those books with Megan Follows and Jonathan Crombie.

#Anne of Green Gables #Anne's House of Dreams #Anne of Ingleside #Sullivan Films #Megan Follows #Jonathan Crombie #Continuing Story doesn't deserve most of the hate #But it feels more like someone greenlit an expansive WWI AU from AO3 instead of the actual stories #And the less said about New Beginning the better #Meta #Fandom Musings #And I'll never forgive Kevin Sullivan for omitting the arc regarding Joyce #Megan would have done a fantastic job acting out Anne's grief

Gilbert was coming up the stairs, three steps at a time. He burst into the room and caught Anne by the waist and waltzed her round and round the room like a crazy schoolboy, coming to rest at last in a pool of moonlight.

When Anne dressed for it she tossed aside the pearl beads she usually wore and took from her trunk the small box that had come to Green Gables on Christmas day. In it was a thread-like gold chain with a tiny pink enamel heart as a pendant. On the accompanying card was written, “With all good wishes from your old chum, Gilbert.” Anne, laughing over the memory the enamel heart conjured up the fatal day when Gilbert had called her “Carrots” and vainly tried to make his peace with a pink candy heart, had written him a nice little note of thanks. But she had never worn the trinket. Tonight she fastened it about her white throat with a dreamy smile.

— Anne of the Island, Lucy Maud Montgomery

🩷

The continuity of the pink enamel heart necklace takes readers all the way through to ‘Anne of Ingleside.’ Howeverrr, when we backtrack to this same chapter of ‘Anne of the Island,’ we remember Anne giving the necklace an ‘energetic twist’ and breaking the chain, after Phil tells her that she heard Gilbert was on the verge of announcing his engagement to Christine Stuart.

That Anne is still wearing the necklace on their 15th wedding anniversary implies therefore that, canonly, Gilbert was informed of and/or discovered that Anne purposefully broke the necklace, and why; only for Gilbert have a ‘that surely won’t do’ moment, and clearly have it re-chained or mended.

Everyone of the children had a bouquet picked specially for her, even the two-year-old Shirley.

The funniest & most heart-warming things Anne Blythe's nee Shirley's children did:

Jem Blythe:

funniest: saying "But will you like it if I just go away 'n' shoot tigers in Africa?" or "Susan, how do you stab sharks?",

most heart-warming: earning the money to buy Anne a pearl beads necklace for her birthday and believing the pearls were real.

Walter Blythe:

funniest: bringing home two toads to "study" them and worrying when one of them escaped - because what if they were married?

most heart-warming: returning home from Lowbridge in the middle of the night because he was scared that Anne was dying.

Diana Blythe:

funniest: naming her and Nan's old rag-doll after Aunt Mary Maria and drowning the doll each time Aunt Mary Maria vexed her or Nan,

most heart-warming: caring so deeply about people and being so sensitive to their suffering.

Nan Blythe:

funniest: betting against God,

most heart-warming: saving a little kitten when she was only three or walking on the graveyeard because she wanted Anne to get better.

Shirley Blythe:

funniest: saying "Ugly old Aunt Maywia," when he was two,

most heart-warming: sitting on the edge of the table in the living-room, swinging his legs at the age of eighteen.

Rilla Blythe:

funniest: believing Gilbert was a murderer because he his picture in a newspaper,

most heart-warming: bringing baby Jims in soup tureen and taking care of him.
