GGF rewatch, part 1

Confession: I actually started the next rewatch in my Great Webseries Rewatch series a few weeks ago. And then I paused, not because I wasn't enjoying it but because I was traveling. And now that I'm back home, I intend to continue and so it seemed like the right time to start writing up my impressions from the first batch of episodes that I saw.

Let's start with the fact that I even chose to rewatch Green Gables Fables next, after LBD. When I was imagining which show would be second, I kept asking myself whether I'd go with my personal successor to LBD, the show that got me into Tumblr in the first place, or whether I should just continue with the Pemberley Digital set of shows. And then... I ended up going for something else entirely. I picked GGF almost intuitively, thoughtless, just because.

It was a pretty great choice, honestly.

GGF is one of those shows that I watched consistently as it was airing. I reblogged posts about it and I followed all the creators and I got excited over it and I loved it and felt so much from it. But I didn't write all that much about it. It's not that I didn't write about it at all, of course I did. (I wrote and rambled quite a lot in those days, after all...) But it was never the dominant show in my orbit and in a way I felt like I always sort of forgot about it. Every time I watched it, I'd be like "oh right, this is great!" and then it would again just sort of... fade into the background. Part of this has to do with the fact that it originally aired alongside shows that would become among my all-time favorites. Part even has to do with the fact that its second season aired alongside another excellent Anne of Green Gables adaptation (Project Green Gables), which I found somewhat easier to write about.

Anyways. It's time to give GGF its due, because... yeah, this was and remains a good show. And yes, I do love it.

Right from the onset, Mandy Harmon is excellent in how she presents Anne. The filming style is youthful, quippy, a little messy, imperfect, and so utterly Anne. I thought this when the show was airing, that something about GGF's flaws consistently made it better as an adaptation. In a lot of regards, GGF was one of the best in having realism in webseries literary adaptations. Not only did the story easily lend itself to bite-sized episodes (Anne of Green Gables itself being very episodic), but there was a concious effort to make Anne's world fully populated. Anne is thoroughly present online as an aesthetics blogger (excellent adaptation choice), befriending Diana through Tumblr (a nice wink to much of the fanbase itself, and a bit to the way the show developed), and there is a rich and real transmedia experience that I think ended up blowing pretty much every other show out of the water. All these years later, I still marvel over how characters were introduced to the story seamlessly through their online personas, without it necessarily being "plot relevant" for Anne's videos. They simply existed and as such they also occasionally existed in Anne's immediate (filmed) orbit.

But since I'm not reviewing the transmedia (and never really tracked it much when it was live either), let's get back to the show itself: Dang, it's good.

The pacing is great. The acting is great (if a little uneven when Diana is onscreen, though this isn't so much because of bad acting as much as a reflection of the character's relative discomfort/unease onscreen). Most of the adaptational choices are great (I still don't much love the Diana-getting-drunk plotline, which was the last episode I watched, but it was a lot less painful this time around than the first, and better than I remembered). The sense that Anne lives in this fascinating little town is beautifully conveyed in-story and I love how open everything is. Anne doesn't hide her videos and she addresses her mistakes on camera (particularly as relates to being mean or snarky about individuals) and there's none of the awkward work-arounds to explain why some people know certain things. The story just... is.

I'm still at the very beginning, of course, but I find myself wanting to write about the show in a lot more depth than I ever did while it was running. I find myself wanting to talk about how Anne's dramatic filming style feels less like old vlogs and less like new TikToks/Reels and more like the transition from the old world to the new, in how they're so fluid yet dramatic. I find myself thinking about how Anne's loneliness comes across so beautifully in the first few episodes and how she takes a little while to settle into her Avonlea life. I find myself loving how Anne's anger with Gilbert is so freshly realistic, that it's easy to forget that the story is over 100 years old.

I don't know how much I'll actually end up writing as I go through. I meant to pause and write up my thoughts as I was watching the first batch of videos, but I just got wrapped up in it and couldn't stop; the episodes flow seamlessly and warmly and the show feels like I really am just catching up with some teen vlogger from a decade ago. But again: I'd like to make the effort. I hope to pick up my rewatch next week, so let's see how that goes...

GGF rewatch, part 4 - Interlude

I was about to start my Green Gables Fables season 2 rewatch and at the end of the first ("episode 0") video - beyond realizing that I'd fully misremembered the show's timeline! - I noticed that there was a disconnected video: "Anne and Gil React...". This video isn't included in either the seasons 1 or 2 playlists and since the show has been unlisted, it was harder to find it. (I ended up scrolling through Anne's Tumblr feed, which also helped remind me what took place when and how excellent the transmedia was on this show.)

I'll linger on the video for a moment before I continue my actual season 2 rewatch, because it occurs to me that this is the mental image I have of Green Gable Fable's versions of Anne and Gilbert. Specifically, I always remember them as that final moment, when Gilbert side-hugs Anne and she pushes his face away. They're both so clearly comfortable and friends in this video that it's easy to forget that their friendship came about at the very end of season 1 (as in Anne of Green Gables). As I've mentioned before, I have a very strange relationship with GGF, in that I feel like I forgot about the show oddly quickly, despite liking it so very much. Going into season 2, I'm especially aware of that fact, since I realize that I actually remember fairly little. There are a few plot points and major scenes that are fresh in my memory and I'm excited to re-experience, but I don't have many expectations of the season as a whole, which is kind of exciting.

And that makes me think about how I wouldn't have remembered "Anne and Gil React..." without the little thumbnail at the end of season 2's "teaser" episode, "Goodbye, Avonlea" (which, sadly, does not directly link to the video). And that makes me think about how contemporary literary webseries were, whether in the context of their use of specific social media platforms for the purposes of transmedia or in how rooted to a particular slice of time they are or, as is now emerging, how hard it is to replicate the original viewing experience almost a decade later. (Sidebar: This makes the forthcoming Nothing Much to Do rewatch project all of the more interesting, but naturally I'll be writing about that separately when the time comes.) This one little out-of-place video - which actually perfectly captures what I best remember from GGF - seems to represent something about this rewatching project on the whole, about the way these webseries blazed to life and have faded from collective memory, about art as a whole, and about what it means to rework a classic story.

Onto season 2!

AIF Investment in India Equity, Debt, or Real Estate – What Should You Choose?

Over the past decade, the financial ecosystem in India has rapidly evolved, offering investors an array of structured products. Among these, AIF investment India has emerged as a preferred route for high-net-worth individuals (HNIs), ultra-HNIs, and institutional investors looking for tailored investment opportunities beyond traditional instruments. With three broad categories to choose from—Equity, Debt, and Real Estate—the question often arises: which one is right for you?

In this blog, we’ll break down the types of Alternative Investment Funds (AIFs), their benefits and risks, and guide you on how to make the right investment choice based on your goals. We’ll also explore how investment platforms like GGF (Golden Growth Fund) are helping investors make informed decisions in this growing space.

Understanding AIF Investment in India

AIF investment in India refers to pooled investment vehicles that are regulated by SEBI (Securities and Exchange Board of India). Unlike mutual funds, AIFs are not accessible to retail investors; instead, they cater to sophisticated investors with a minimum investment threshold of ₹1 crore.

AIFs are categorized into three classes:

Category I AIFs: Invest in start-ups, early-stage ventures, social ventures, and SMEs. These are considered to have positive spillover effects on the economy.

Category II AIFs: Invest in private equity, debt funds, or other complex strategies that are not focused on leverage or speculative trading.

Category III AIFs: Use diverse strategies like derivatives and leverage to generate short-term returns. Hedge funds and other complex trading strategies fall under this category.

Equity AIFs: Growth Potential with Higher Risk

What are Equity AIFs?

Equity-focused AIFs (typically Category I and II) pool money to invest in unlisted companies, startups, or private enterprises. These AIFs aim for capital appreciation and usually follow a long-term investment horizon of 5 to 10 years.

Why Choose Equity AIFs?

High Growth Potential: Investing in early-stage companies can yield multifold returns.

Diversification: Access to unlisted equities, which are not available through stock markets.

Professional Management: Managed by expert fund managers with deep sector knowledge.

Risks to Consider

Illiquidity: Equity AIFs typically have lock-in periods.

Valuation Volatility: As investments are in unlisted firms, valuation is subjective and can be volatile.

Exit Uncertainty: Realizing gains can take years and often depends on M&As or IPOs.

Best For:

Long-term investors with a higher risk appetite and the ability to stay invested for years.

Debt AIFs: Stable Returns with Controlled Risk

What are Debt AIFs?

Debt-focused AIFs (primarily Category II) invest in structured debt products, high-yield debt instruments, distressed assets, or credit opportunities in mid-market businesses.

Why Choose Debt AIFs?

Regular Income: Investors can receive periodic interest payouts.

Custom Structures: Debt AIFs often negotiate directly with borrowers, creating tailored lending structures.

Better Yields: Offers higher returns compared to traditional fixed-income products.

Risks to Consider

Credit Risk: There's always a chance of borrower default.

Liquidity Constraints: Debt AIFs are not freely tradable like bonds or debt mutual funds.

Regulatory Scrutiny: Recent SEBI regulations have increased compliance and operational rigor.

Best For:

Investors looking for a balance of risk and reward, and those seeking regular income with moderate capital preservation.

Real Estate AIFs: Tangible Assets with Inflation Hedge

What are Real Estate AIFs?

Real estate AIFs primarily focus on investments in residential, commercial, or mixed-use properties. These could be land acquisition, construction finance, or rental yield-based models.

Why Choose Real Estate AIFs?

Tangible Asset Backing: Real estate investments are backed by physical assets, reducing perceived volatility.

Inflation Protection: Real estate prices often rise with inflation, acting as a natural hedge.

High Return Potential: Well-located commercial or luxury residential projects can yield strong ROI.

Risks to Consider

Market Cycles: Real estate is subject to demand-supply dynamics and policy changes.

Liquidity and Exit Risk: Exiting from real estate projects may take time, especially in downturns.

Execution Risk: Delays in approvals or construction can impact returns.

Best For:

Investors looking for long-term wealth creation through asset-backed strategies and moderate to high returns.
