Anne Shirley Episode 15 Discussion

Wait, I don't see Davy and his sister at the wedding. I kinda want to see him doing naughty things in the ceremony.

Nah, don’t worry Anne, you ain't the only one who feels like a lot of changes are happening at breakneck speed around you, because my god the pacing here is abnormally fast.

Like seriously, it felt like just a couple episodes ago Diana and Fred started to even interact with each other, let alone ALREADY GET FUCKING ENGAGED???

We didn’t really know him, but RIP Mrs. Lynde’s husband, we knew Mrs. Lynde herself so it was sad to see her torn up about it. But this led to Marilla bringing up college to Anne, I don’t think Anne really needed to since she already had a good job and life but I guess if she wants to pursue greater heights, then why the hell not lol, it’s just unfortunate that any kind of impact there could have been from Anne leaving the school wasn’t there, we barely saw her teaching and only got to know one of the kids, being Paul, so while this may have been emotional for Anne, it wasn’t so much for us.

And it was nice to see Lavender and Irving have that promised wedding, it was a small one but also a beautiful one, the way the clouds parted for them was really nice, of course it could have stayed cloudy and it still would have been a good wedding but that was the cherry on top. Also, Diana and Fred are a thing now huh, it sure would have been nice if we got to see their relationship develop, not to mention characterize Fred lol, but I am happy to see Diana happy, we got that much at least.

I wonder why all the pupils are calling her Anne-sensei instead of Shirley-sensei as they should...

“Life is a series of departures” it’s sad to think of it that way, but it’s really true. We’re constantly closing one door and opening another, whether it’s friendships, saying goodbye to family and friends or our hometown. Life is fleeting which makes treasuring all those moments so important.

Our 2nd big death. He wasn’t a major character, but RIP Mr. Lynde. I feel like we’re gonna be saying goodbye to most of the old guard of characters here pretty soon and it’s making me sad af 😭 I know they kinda rushed through some parts of Anne’s life, but I still feel very attached to this town and community.

I am so glad they didn’t forget about the plot point of Anne forgoing college to help Marilla out. She’s such a kind and selfless girl, but it’s time for her to do the things she wants to do in life. No better time than now too with Rachel moving in to keep Marilla company, Paul getting a new step-mom in Ms. Lavendar and Diana being engaged. All the people Anne had to worry about are going to be just fine without her. She’s going to be such a great mom you can tell just by how concerned she is about people!

Speaking of Diana, our Yuri ship has officially sunk fellas 😭 at least we left here with something “I’ll never love another girl half as much as I love you” I’ll take what I can get lol. I’m happy for her, though. My girls are truly entering into a new phase of life. It’s interesting her mom doesn’t want her to be married before 21, though, that was very normal back then.

Mrs. Lavendar looked so pretty in her wedding dress omg. I’m happy she and Paul’s dad got back together, but I hate they wasted so much time apart because of a petty fight

“I will close the page on my girlhood and begin a new chapter as a grown woman” the feels man. We’re finally at a point where Anne can leave town with a smile on her face, excited about the future and with no regrets. I’m looking forward to her life at redmond and seeing just what sort of person she becomes. S/O to little Paul Irving for being her biggest supporter and encouraging her to go, too. You can tell he had a crush on her, but such a genuinely nice young man.

@TheColonel76 They had about 8 kids (10 total, 2 passed early, iirc), though Rachel being Marilla's only real friend is sad in its own way, seeing as Rachel probably had many friends in the area

@holdingnothing Damn that’s a lot of kids lol, but yeah that is sad about the friends thing.

@holdingnothing Damn that’s a lot of kids lol, but yeah that is sad about the friends thing.

@Kwanongoma I think they just have that close knit relationship for the small class it is. They called Stacy by her first name too, remember?

@holdingnothing 1. Stacy is her last name, not first. 2. That's not how it worked back then, no matter how tight you were with your teacher in this situation. This show, though it leaves out a lot of stuff, usually doesn't outright change stuff, so it's a weird detail to change imo.
