Accidentally deleted an anonymous ask about which Ann is my Ultimate Fantasy Ann since we’ve been devoting so much time in the casts to @we-are-all-lady-women‘s Ultimate Fantasy Anne. So despite my idiot ass deleting the ask, I am compelled to answer:

OBVIOUSLY this is a trick question because there are TOO MANY Ultimate Fantasy Anns for any single one of them to be my favorite. See, for instance, a representative sample:

Greek Goddess Ann.

Little Spoon Ann.

Big Spoon Ann.

Unimpressed Ann.

Pensive Ann.

Proud Girlfriend Ann.

Undeterred Ann.

Gay Glow-up Ann.

And obviously:

THIRSTY Ann.

And Baby Top aka Power Bottom! Ann.

In conclusion, Ann Walker is a damn angel and we don’t deserve her.

Thank you for this amazing reply!!! Yes, I'm a lesbian and I'm just so enchanted by the fact that there was a woman just like us 150 years ago. She existed, and she was so raw and it somehow makes me feel more real myself. I don't even know how to call that feeling haha 💕

JFC. I know. Gentleman Jack aired one year ago today (in the states) and still I can’t believe I didn’t know about Anne Lister for the first 33 years of my life. DIG. FUCKING. IN. This woman is changing people’s lives, bringing them out of their shells, making them feel more alive and more authentic and most importantly, LESS ALONE. 

Not to shamelessly plug myself but since you landed on my blog, go find the Shibden After Dark podcast where my friend Mary (also a lesbian) and I discuss what a radical impact Anne Lister and Gentleman Jack has had on our lives. And then after that when you’re ready, join our FB group - there’s almost 1700 of us now, just talking. Like actually talking. Every day, with people on the other side of the world, people who have always felt different, felt like outsiders, but whom I’m lucky to consider family now. It’s a really fucking special place, and I know it’s bringing comfort to a lot of people quarantining right now, myself included. Sending hugs to wherever you are. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

Any possibility of a podcast with guest host Sophie Rundle in the works? I mean, she’s got nothing goin on, and she can totally hang with us.

I wake up several days a week with this on my mind. SHE HAS NOT-THAT-MUCH TO DO THESE DAYS.

Please for the love of quarantined lesbians let’s make this happen. I haven’t given it a go but obviously the co-host and I are both game. And I swear to Sapphos I will send you so much free merch (and her) if y’all can hook this up 🌈🎩🕶🤞

I want to quarantine in Sophie Rundle’s back yard - is that creepy? 😂

Shit, was I sending myself drunk anonymous asks again? Or are there two of us out there?

We can always keep dreaming, Anon! Happy (and healthy) quarantining to you and yours 🤞🤣🎩🕶

What scene do you think you’ve watched the MOST (including research/science, and factoring in that Ep 3 occurred 5 weeks before Hilltop, but then again you might have watched Hilltop more to make up for it... 🧐)?

Am I selfish for asking the universe for a fanfic where Ann dyes her hair strawberry and Anne comes home and doesn’t like it but kinda likes it - cuz it’s Ann Walker ?

Not selfish, and I’m going to go ahead and second this ask to the universe on account of the fact that I won’t be able to think of anything else all day.

FIC WRITERS: if any of you are not essential workers (thank you endlessly if you are), and you happen to have some extra time on your hands, allow me to present a little inspiration. Please don’t let us down. These are dark times, and we could all use Strawberry Ann Walker 🍓🌺🌸🔥

I went 8 days without watching the Hilltop scene and I’ll never let that happen again so help me God ✋🏳️‍🌈
