I woke up one morning and put on my puffed sleeves and threw my hair into a messy pompadour and I went downstairs and Mrs. Rachel Lynde was there and she said “Oh good! You’re awake! Time to meet your new baking powder overlords!” and that’s how the beautiful coming years brought me the fulfilment of my home of dreams in which I never used any baking powder except Rollings Reliable

(anne of green gables) dancing in this world alone, chapter 14

dancing in this world alone - rilla/carl - pg-13

"D'you have a minute to give me an opinion about something?" Una's brow wrinkles. "I can't help you with your bugs." "I think about other things," Carl complains, and Una raises her eyebrows, looking remarkably like Jerry for a moment. "It's about Rilla, actually." Una's eyebrows go down, but only so she can draw them together. "Is this about your…arrangement?" Carl looks around, sure that anyone listening would absolutely take that the wrong way. "You make it sound so unseemly. What did Rilla tell you about it, anyway?" "Just that she let everyone think she was interested in you back home, and you've been going along with it to help her save face, otherwise some of the girls might have figured out that she'd had hopes for Ken Ford." Una's gaze flicks up to him, her blue eyes calm and steady. "And it sounds to me like it's been spiraling out of control ever since." Carl blinks. "What makes you say that?" Has Rilla said anything to her? He's absurdly — hopeful? Nervous?

sorry, i mythologized your boyfriend. yeah i took him and a few other boyfriends and merged them together with local folklore and mystic elements into one legendary figure. he's going to be really hard to pin down historically. sorry about that. I can make you his consort in some stories if that helps.

hey im still not over thinking abt ingrid keepers, btw. near zero canon info about her but what is there is so so compelling and horrifying to actually think abt. imagine you were a kid no older than 15-16 being told you had to die to save the universe and justifiably being terrified of it. imagine being a lostling and having little agency in your tanji, without the full knowledge of what you're signing up for and it dooming you anyway. LITERALLY handed your own certain death, by authority figures who know how this all ends but allows it for the greater good. actually just the implication of the wardens actively drawing in and allowing KIDS to bond with tanjis, knowing full well that they have to die but the need for soldiers in this war great enough to justify dooming them is a whole other discussion. but i think its somewhat worse for lostlings bc the power the responsibility and the burden is straight up just thrusted to them. who knows if ingrid actually chose to be taught in the first place. imagine being cast away and treated like the worst kind of traitor for not wanting to die, again as a KID. you're told its for the greater good but keepers are not allowed to question why or question many things about tanji at all. even if you leave you cant just return to normal life bc you'd be hunted down by the riven for your tanji, so what other choice would you have than to join the riven instead? and in the end, all that pain and anger was for nothing bc the mothergates were kept opened and you didn't have to die anyway. the way we dont even get closure on what happened to her after the war. i would forever be bitter actually

[asymphonyofstarlight]

ON GOD i wish i had something super interesting to add but it’s like, i’m Always thinking abt how ingrid reflects the worst of the Wardens through no real fault of her own? and mr meister is hopeful for her return but she’s so bitter AND WHATTT HAPPENED TO HER‼️ where could she have gone after that ‼️

and the sheer beef with mrs. hapsteade like girl mrs. h fascinates me so deeply also. and gabriel HEY! that dynamic is so important to me

(& there’s a draft post i had written up abt how chloe and ingrid reflect each other in a way partially bc of how they treat authority figures in a war like this & revealing the structural instabilities of the wardens and i would’ve loved to see more of That dynamic since they wound up on separate sides but i never published it lmao)
