I've got to say, while Anne Shirley is very sweet, it's not my favorite adaptation by a long shot. (I grew up with the 80s live action series, read the books, loved Anne with an E and also found the 79 anime compelling.)It's doing a great job, but it's not so much doing the things I really find compelling about the Anne series. Its determined cheery charm and desire to resolve each episode neatly sometimes feels more akin to Pollyanna than what I think of as LMM's embattled heroine.
But it has me thinking, as every adaptation does--what would feel both new, and meaningfully rooted in the themes of the original?
For me, the dream "modern-setting" adaptation that tugs at my mind is one that would probably piss a lot of people off, but hear me out:
I'd like to see one where the Cuthberts, an older, set-in-their-ways autistic sister-and-brother pair, still decide to try and foster or adopt a boy. They are still told that they are receiving a boy.
Indeed, all the paperwork affirms that this child is a boy...
But Anne is a girl.
Anne, an autistic anxious and vibrant child with a heartbreaking desire to please, a huge and indomitable inner life, strong feelings on what names and spellings she's willing to accept being called by, and a deep, deep well of insecurity about her physical appearance, is a girl, despite what all the medical paperwork says about her.
I would love to see someone take the peculiar mix-up that serves as the foundation of the story and use it as a hook to tease out ideas about found family, friendships, community, bigotry, acceptance, growth and hope and finding one's home--all the themes that shoot through LMM's children's books--but with the distinctive added layer of transfemininity as a part of Anne's initial distance from the people of Avonlea.
Matthew would ask no questions, simply nodding along and trying to be kind to the child he's bringing home. Marilla would be in a quandary, stuck between her strident 'knowledge' of what is 'supposed' to be true and the deeper moral compass that would inevitably drive her to defend Anne from people who are being manifestly unfair and unkind.
Diana Barry's mother might find it both easier and harder to say out loud just why she's so uncomfortable with this new "bosom companion"--because of course one doesn't want to seem un-PC when banning a small underfed trans girl from one's home.
Gilbert Blythe can get wrecked for tugging her hair, as usual.
Idk I just have a lot of Thoughts and Feelings about Trans Anne Shirley okay.
But is it still set on a small Canadian island town?
Yes, of course! PEI is absolutely non-optional (aside from the 1919 version starring Mary Miles Minter 😬...)

in a moment, everything can change
thanks to my partner Knowing A Guy through some professional connections I might just get to read something really special today 👀 hoping this works out
MY PARTNER’S CONNECTIONS CAME THROUGH
time to read the forbidden Anne Rice book
I’m not even ten pages in and this is already wild
25 pages in and there has been a convent nun fight, drama in a funeral home, financial fraud, and an attempted bank robbery and main character girl has decided to go run across the country with a guy she met five minutes ago. Anne Rice you are a legend
Talk to Me: The stories you run into during an interview
Interviews. How hard can it be?
The average reader might assume it’s just a matter of asking a question and objectively getting an answer. After all, that’s the rules. But interviews are more than an interrogation. Some are more off the cuff than others, but it’s a collaboration between the interviewer and interviewee to put on a show at the end of day.
From the reader or viewer’s perspective, the exchange seems seamless and natural, because how hard can it be to just talk to someone?
Today, I’m here to tell you, it’s actually pretty hard.
That’s right, it’s ya’ gal Chiaki and instead of talking about cats or brain worms, I’m actually talking about something professional for once. As AniFem’s resident working journalist with a (salaried) staff writer position at [REDACTED] with around two decades of experience in talking to strangers about deeply personal matters. I’m here to tell you what goes into an interview, and what can possibly go wrong.
Read it at Anime Feminist!
Commission for my lovely friend @chiaki747!(❁´◡`❁)
Definitely had a wonderful time drawing all those arms~
Please enjoy, and do check out her streams!!!
BITCHES LOOK AT MY BACK, GOD. DAMN. FUCK.
*ponderings*
Let the record show that after however many years, I still don't know what destiel is but I do know Sulemio despite never having watched Lesbian Millennial Gundam
Here's my regular reminder to new followers to my blog.
Remember, I hate this site. I only come here to say mean things, and then reblog a few horny posts or like a Homestuck thing or two, and then leave.
@staff would you mind telling us why you deleted animefeminist.tumblr.com without any explanation to the person who runs the blog? You should contact them and explain your reasoning.
Or even better, you should restore it, since I never saw anything on that blog that would violate any rules, it literally only posts articles about feminism and anime fanart and never anything graphic.
I also want to encourage my followers to contact tumblr staff and tumblr support asking them to explain this decision and restore this blog. This is a long shot, but we at least deserve an explanation. And randomly deleting a feminist blog that includes articles advocating for trans people is a bad, bad look considering all that's been happening lately.
Is this a bad time to note the Website I work for randomly got yeeted by tumblr?
So okay, fun fact, I edit for a funny little site called Anime Feminist. We're, according to Anime News Network readers, the fourth most trafficked site for anime/manga/Japanese pop-culture discourse on the Internet.
Wild!
Anyway, one of the shows premiering this season has a title that sounds like a porn bot claiming to have a░n░i░m░e░░i░n░░b░i░o or something and I guess Tumblr just decided to delete our account for spam or something.
Woah!
At least, that's our guess, since they didn't tell us anything about why it was deleted or anything, but I mean, that's our closest guess after trying to puzzle what could have possibly prompted this.
Wow!
So anyway, we've e-mailed the staff about it, but we're not sure if they'll ever respond.
What a functional website!
In the mean time, if you'd like to keep track, you can find us on Patreon, Bluesky, or the actual website itself!!!!
