see like, i get that anne is just a young girl and that she’s bound to make mistakes. lots and lots and lots of them. i appreciate that this show makes me cringe sometimes with the way she behaves and how she misunderstands the world because of her own internal one. but her taking matthew’s letter and reading it and writing jeannie back genuinely gets me every time because HOW could you have thought that okay to do 😭 it’s one of the times that i feel like her character is a wee forced, because no way in hell you could genuinely do that and think it’d turn out just fine and matthew would just be like, yay, anne! pat on the back for going behind mine and writing a deceitful and untrue love letter and disturbing a super intimate and delicate situation! thanks! that’s pure silly. and embarrassing.
also, when she makes these mistakes, she seems to realize them immediately when confronted and start apologizing “sincerely” in a way that makes it seem like she knew what she did was wrong all along. it kind of changes her character in my eyes, and makes her seem less sorry both because of how quick she is to react and because of how goddamn extravagant her apologies are. also the way she’s constantly speaking in a super breathy and OTT way annoys me a lot. the lines would be delivered much better imo if they weren’t so.. forced? i dunno, food for thought.
i don’t quite get anne because i was such a shy and nervous kid, i avoiding taking any action at all ever because i was so afraid of upsetting others. but anne is so outgoing and immediately acts and responds to her emotions so often, it confuses me, because it’s so different to my own experience. are there kids who are genuinely like that?
