Was just informed that "any sufficiently deep enthusiasm is indistinguishable from academic rigor" and hoo boy we are really in a crisis of anti-intellectualism.

so walter was definitely queer, right?

welcome to a very interesting side of LM Montgomery discussion! LMM scholar Benjamin Lefebvre would say yes in his article Walter's Closet, which I mention because I think it's kind of the ultimate "here's all the literary evidence for this position." years ago, @gogandmagog and I had a really great discussion about this that is floating somewhere in the Walter Blythe tags (helpful, I know). I think there are also some other great discussions under the walter blythe tags on my blog if you care to dig deeper!

My general impression, and I stress the word general, is that people who have a more passing familiarity with the series tend to read Walter that way, and people who have a very in depth knowledge of the series tend not to, which I find interesting. I myself always read him as gay, but I'm also a hardcore Walter/Una shipper (don't ask me to explain myself).

Maybe once a week, I wake up paralyzed… reliving that night. But before the sun went down… I think that was the best day of my life. Was it like that for you? SINNERS (2025) dir. Ryan Coogler
