They should have named you Gilbert von Cliché

[anneshirleycuffbert]

all jokes aside, Gilbert Blythe is one of the best characters of awae. the fandom likes to make fun of him a bit because of his recent clownery, I know I have, but we all love him and I think it’s important to remember the reasons why we stan this clown king. season three Gilbert Blythe:

treats everyone with kindness and respect

is a pure boi who cried bc he was ashamed of the way he handled Mary’s diagnosis and wanted to be strong for her

tried to find Elijah to tell him of Mary’s illness even though he stole many of the Blythe’s heirlooms when he slept under Gil’s roof as a welcomed guest

supported Bash when the love of his life died because he knows what it’s like to lose a loved one and was not ashamed to introduce the LaCroix family as his own to the Rose family

believed in and stood up for Anne when most everyone was ready to cancel her even though she didn’t treat him very kindly prior to but for good reason

protested side-by-side with Anne for the right for freedom of speech and encouraged her in the beginning when she was losing hope

loves loves loves Anne Shirley-Cuthbert in the best way he knows how and went to consult her first about Mr. Rose’s offer bc he was willing to give it all up for her

has aspirations to make a difference in the world by becoming a doctor because he’s witnessed firsthand what it’s like to lose someone from sickness that may have been treated but weren’t due to lack of modern medicine and poor healthcare

is a good person

is Gilbert Blythe

Gilbert Blythe has been through so, so much for a person his age, and to still be Gilbert Blythe, after everything he’s experienced, is admirable. He didn’t have a proper childhood and had to watch his father and Mary deteriorate and die, forcing him to grow up real quick. Though his experiences have made him wiser, he is still a boy, still a person, still someone who has lost loved ones and is still processing all the change that’s happened in a hot minute. As Moody said, Gilbert is determining the course of his life and that’s not something he takes lightly.

As of right now, he is not aware that Anne Shirley-Cuthbert, the girl he’s loved the moment she whacked his head with her slate, loves him, is in love with him.

What he does know is that he has a real chance to pursue a dream and aspiration he’s had since his father died. He’s been holding out for hope and this is the light at the end of the tunnel. Say what you will, but I think he is allowed to consider the easy way out by taking the offered silver platter after the burdens he’s been carrying his whole life. It’s not even a matter of Anne vs. Winifred either, it’s a matter of his home and the people he loves vs. his dream and the Sorbonne.

Gilbert Blythe is a beautiful person in pain and whatever decision that episode 10 will reveal he made is the decision he believes is the right one so if anyone tries to hate on or cancel him because he’s considering this opportunity for his future, you’re about to catch multiple hands.

When we were innocent

“The future looms large as the kids enter their senior year of school – some prepare for their college entrance exams, while others set their sights on more exotic shores.”-Moira

“But first, everyone must survive the perils of romance, friendship, first love, first kisses, and much more.”

“Sebastian and Mary settle into domestic life, while Gilbert dreams big about his future as a doctor.”

 “As Anne matures, she’s increasingly forced to grapple with difficult topics — from gender equality to Indigenous rights — and learns that the fight to make the world a better place never ends.”

“As the characters prepare to enter the twentieth century, some continue to look forward while others cling to more traditional ways, but one thing is clear – nothing will ever be the same again” -Moira

LOL Gilbert and the “exotic shores”

[guiltymepleasures]

We all thought we were going to get Jealous Gilbert.

How the tables have turned.

Gilbert:

“When the right girl comes along, I’ll know...”

Clownbert:

Knows nothing.

They really made us watch 45 minutes of heartbreak and misunderstandings I-

[anneshirleycuffbert]

thinking about how dramatic season three Gilbert is has got me crying bc right after Anne rebuffs his “if it’s any consolation, I don’t mind being your escort” he literally was like

felt insecure, might ask Winifred out for tea
