I’m so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers. 🍂
- Anne of Green Gables
Anne Shirley illustration for all the fall vibes 🤭
I’ve been really liking this new mixed media approach with my recent artworks. The line art is done traditionally with pencil on paper, and then I import it to procreate to add the color wash!
Gilbert seeing Anne at school everyday:
There’s so many good parallels between Squidward + Spongebob and Marilla + Anne lol
A conversation that might as well have happened during an A.V.I.S. meeting:
Anne: Who isn’t a little bit in love with their best friend?
Diana: Awww
Gilbert: Define a little
Fred: I can’t tell if you’re talking about Diana or Gilbert
Anne: Yes
It’s casually suggested once in Anne of the Island that Gilbert’s mom might be a crazy cat lady and like...i just think as a fandom we could all have so much fun exploring that potential aspect of Gilbert’s home life growing up. Also it’s one of the few indicators about Mrs. Blythe’s personality.
Adding to this thought— what if after Anne and Gilbert are married and living in their House O’Dreams, Gilbert’s mom keeps sending them holiday cards like this
They are roughly time period appropriate...

How Gilbert Supports Anne
In Anne of the Island, Anne writes, and attempts to get published, a short story titled Averil’s Atonement. But when the story is rejected by two magazines, she gets discouraged, forgets the idea and locks the story away, giving Diana a copy. Later that summer, Diana sees a baking powder competition for the best short story featuring their product, so she adds a couple of references to that particular baking powder, Rollings, into Anne’s story and sends it, telling Anne nothing. Averil’s Atonement wins the competition and that’s when Diana comes clean about it, but Anne, for some reason or other, is not happy about the fact, despite the success.
Gilbert stops by Green Gables to congratulate her and this is the scene:
Gilbert arrived at dusk, brimming over with congratulations, for he had called at Orchard Slope and heard the news. But his congratulations died on his lips at sight of Anne’s face.
“Why, Anne, what is the matter? I expected to find you radiant over winning Rollings Reliable prize. Good for you!”
“Oh, Gilbert, not you,” implored Anne, in an ET-TU BRUTE tone. “I thought YOU would understand. Can’t you see how awful it is?”
“I must confess I can’t. WHAT is wrong?”
“Everything,” moaned Anne. “I feel as if I were disgraced forever. What do you think a mother would feel like if she found her child tattooed over with a baking powder advertisement? I feel just the same. I loved my poor little story, and I wrote it out of the best that was in me. And it is SACRILEGE to have it degraded to the level of a baking powder advertisement. Don’t you remember what Professor Hamilton used to tell us in the literature class at Queen’s? He said we were never to write a word for a low or unworthy motive, but always to cling to the very highest ideals. What will he think when he hears I’ve written a story to advertise Rollings Reliable? And, oh, when it gets out at Redmond! Think how I’ll be teased and laughed at!”
“That you won’t,” said Gilbert, wondering uneasily if it were that confounded Junior’s opinion in particular over which Anne was worried. “The Reds will think just as I thought—that you, being like nine out of ten of us, not overburdened with worldly wealth, had taken this way of earning an honest penny to help yourself through the year. I don’t see that there’s anything low or unworthy about that, or anything ridiculous either. One would rather write masterpieces of literature no doubt—but meanwhile board and tuition fees have to be paid.”
This commonsense, matter-of-fact view of the case cheered Anne a little. At least it removed her dread of being laughed at, though the deeper hurt of an outraged ideal remained.
I love this scene, I love how he comforted her and his, as the author describes it, so common sense and matter-of-fact. Of course we would all like to write high literature but not while we’re struggling students. Professor Hamilton needs to chill (that is, if he would have really judged Anne for this, he might not have, not while she was still at college). Also it’s interesting how Anne says “oh please, Gilbert, not YOU!”–like she considers him on another level than Diana. Diana is her BFF but Anne realises in some ways Diana doesn’t get her. But Gilbert GETS her. I don’t understand why Anne didn’t confide in him about the story in the first place, instead of Mr Harrison. Idk what LMM was thinking, he’s the last person you’d go to with your literary ambitions. Like, why not some writers’ club at Redmond, they must have had those! Anne of the Island has always been my favourite but at the same time, I wish the author made different choices with some parts. It’s still good, though.

Here’s why it made the list
I just love these French editions of Anne!
I believe ka'kwet's father and the rest of the mi'kmaq villagers are wearing european attire due to some sort of forced assimilation. An entire community of people wouldn't just abandon their meticulously crafted and culturally resonant clothing for a different set of clothes that likely aren't as functional.
The Mi'kmaq people in 3.01
This is them in 3.08
Considering there's atleast 3 months between these events, you're right that an entire community won't just give up their attires. The men I can understand because they have to do business outside, but the women and children too! There is an absolute possibility of forced assimilation. (I'm not in anyway capable of commenting on the historical accuracy of it) But, I think that they themselves are abandoning some part of their identity so that white people don't look down upon them any more than they already do. Like to coerce people into doing something you want, deliberately or not, is forced in my opinion.
Also, most Mi'kmaq children of age are enrolled in the school system, as of now, that could also have "encouraged" them. Like Ka'kwet's mom said herself that, "Maybe learning their ways would help the community." So that no more interference is done in their way of life.
Hello!! I like history & came to be annoying, so if this is just too much tell me & I'll promptly delete! But I wanted to give an alternative option for the possible reason behind the costuming due to the time era: while forced assimilation & colonization definitely played a role in influencing how Natives dressed (including things like dressing in more European styled clothing to be taken more seriously by settlers for things like business, politics, or trade, just like you sughest) at this time, by this era (1896 onward, which is the year AWAE begins) Native people had already started wearing European clothing because of access to them via trade, and incorporated bits of them into their traditional clothing. In fact, a lot of Western & "Cowboy" fashion is influenced by Indigenous fashion because of Natives doing this & then white cowboys copying our style. This also happened with Fur traders in Canada who married Native women (as encouraged to in the beginning), who then made clothing for them with the furs and skins they had hunted, traded their crafts, and started utilizing traded white goods themselves like metal needles, cloth, and wool.
Of course these Native beaders, quillworkers, and seamstresses would naturally incorporate their traditional styles into their husband's clothing, or the things they traded. Then Natives traded with each other. Then fashion trends start occurring IN ADDITION to everything else. Here are some examples from the late 1800s-: (note the cloth shirts, scarf, coat, & white brim hat). Things like wide brim hats, colorful & patterned skirts/dresses/shirts, & blankets were popular with Natives & were worn sometimes simply because Native people liked them.
I haven't watched AWAE but based on what I can see already, it looks like the Mi'kmaw characters, even in their traditional attire in the first examples given, were already incorporating European & traded clothing into their attire (such as the cotton button up shirt, skirts, shawls, & the scarf & hat Kakwet's lil bro is wearing). In the first episode, we also see Kakwet & her father wearing more European attire under their traditional clothing. Being a more Eastern situated peoples, it's pretty likely they had already started trading with White Canadians and/or traded with other Mi'kmaw & other tribes who did for a while now. (Here's the example of Kakwet's father, note the vest, scarf, & hat)
& you can see this onward of again, Native peoples still wearing their traditional clothing as well as European ones, or a combination of both. Here's a photo of Mi'maq in 1870 (left) & 1865 (right: both years earlier than AWAE, an example of Mi'kmaq wearing European clothing, & the other with traditional attire)
Here's a photo of some Nova Scotia Mi'kmaw in 1930 (left), wearing very similar clothing to the charas in AWAE, and then again more traditional clothing in 1910 (right: so we have two cases of Mi'kmaq still wearing traditional clothing years AFTER AWAE takes place)
Jesuits observing Mi'kmaq (circa 1610-1616) had this to say about their clothing, after describing their traditional attire made from animal skins:
"in Summer they often wear our capes, and in Winter our bed-blankets, which they improve with trimming and wear double. [page 75] They are also quite willing to make use of our hats, shoes, caps, woolens and shirts, and of our linen to clean their infants, for we trade them all these commodities for their furs."
So in conclusion I don't think/know that the AWAE Mi'kmaq had already started assimilating themselves or started dressing more "white" as a conscious decision themselves (or at least on its own, unless there's a scene that directly states otherwise?), but in the very least it's just historically accurate costuming of the characters because this is what a lot of Natives had already started dressing like in the late 1800s especially, even when we were resisting colonization & ignoring assimilationist laws. But then Kakwet's storyline also has to do with colonization & forced assimilation, so it could very likely be intentionally there too.

Anne being assigned to work on a group project at school with Gilbert during the time period when she’s still holding her grudge:
It’s casually suggested once in Anne of the Island that Gilbert’s mom might be a crazy cat lady and like...i just think as a fandom we could all have so much fun exploring that potential aspect of Gilbert’s home life growing up. Also it’s one of the few indicators about Mrs. Blythe’s personality.
Anne, behind the camera: I want to see my little boy
Pris, holding up Rusty: Here he comes
Anne: I want to see my little boy
Pris: Here he comes
*Phil and Stella glancing at each other across the Patty’s Place living room like why do we live with these two*
do you have any fanfic recs for bookverse Anne of Green Gables fanfics? Also hope you have a wonderful day!
Sure do! A general rule of thumb is that fanfiction.net has a strong bookverse community and ao3 has a stronger showverse community. As such, my recs are all from ff.net!
To me, Catiegirl is one of the best fic writers there is in the whole fandom. Every single one of her stories are novel length works of art, though people especially liked Shore of Dreams and Catching Moonlight.
Similarly, MrsVonTrapp, Katherine-with-a-k, and oz diva are notable writers in the community as well. All three of them have incredible characterization, really heartfelt stories, and generally capture the essence of the Anne series. One of the ones that really, really stuck with me is The Parting Glass by Katherine. (Though be warned, it's a bit sad. You will cry, promise.)
After you exhaust through all of their stuff, you can browse their bookmarks. Lots and lots of good stuff.
If you do read any of their stuff, be sure to favorite or review to show some appreciation. Their side of the fandom tends to be kinda quiet! Anyways, hope this helps!!

I’ve been feeling a little blue. Just a pale, elusive azure. It isn’t serious enough for anything darker
Phil Gordon (Anne of the Island)
This is one of my all time favourite Phil quotes, just because I like that someone has acknowledged those slightly off moods you get sometimes, where you’re not properly sad but you’re not quite right either
“We are going to be the best of friends,” said Gilbert, jubilantly. “We were born to be good friends, Anne. You’ve thwarted destiny enough.”
