GILBERT BLYTHE FOUND A FAMILY AFTER LOSING HIS ONLY TO LOSE ANOTHER PERSON FROM THE NEW FAMILY...STOP HURTING HIM

Some of this fandom is so cancelled by me right now!

I have been stewing in this since last night and am now going to rant!

**I’m going to use a lot of screen shots from people who already put my thoughts into existence, all links to posts used are in the bottom**

1. Are Anne and Gilbert acting out of character from the original source material and 90s series, yes AND THAT’S OK good in fact! Because honestly while their relationship was very typical of the time it is neither entirely healthy nor appropriate for today’s audience! I think the whole point of what Moira’s doing is to help the next generation to be more socially conscious (indigenous peoples story line and consent story lines) and also participate in more healthy relationships (no ignoring someone for five years and no flirting with people just to make others jealous) - - so I saw a post that said Anne not realizing her love for Gilbert till she almost lost him shaped their view on love and relationships and that is a problem because that is not healthy love and kids need to learn that, Anne clinging to her romantic ideals also isn’t healthy as “romantic love” as defined in books like Frankenstein is obsessive love

2. Gilbert courting Winnie is totally understandable

Someone else said that him inviting Winnie to the fair where she’d definitely meet Anne was stupid (oh and quick side note clarification Gilbert did not invite Winnies parents she did and he is flattered to meet them because of the status -also normal- and he was shocked when Bash said that meant she was considering marriage), but still that whole logic just infuriates me! What he’s just supposed to put his life on hold while Anne figures her emotions out and stops stomping on him intentionally and unintentionally. And the “he has to know how she feels” argument, LIKE HELL HE DOES! Every time they have any kind of anything the girl is either berating him or running away from him! I mean look at this poor boy!

*not to mention that the whole reason why Gilbert was so bold during the dance rehearsal was because Anne held his gaze, her not shying from his heart eyes is what gave him the confidence and giddiness during the dance and she didn’t do that here

and y’all claiming he doesn’t deeply care about Anne or isn’t showing heart eyes is laughable

Not to mention that Winifred is definitely picking up on things like during the introductions where Gilbert doesn’t know how to title her towards Anne and also when she stared after Gilbert when he followed Anne

3. Gilbert and the Non-Consensual kiss

Lastly go read @percyyougloriousbastard ‘s summary because it is on point!

I’m sad Gilbert never saw story club house

Thanks a lot Billy

I think Gilbert would have loved it. How cute would it have been if they had their first kiss there. BIG SAD

WAIT. Gilbert isn’t a take notice guy allegedly. But oh boy oh boy if he somehow rebuilt that thing...he wouldn’t be the one proposing

Let’s face it, he would totally do it
