Shirbert scenes I would’ve loved to see if we’d gotten a 4th season
- Anne telling Ruby, Tillie, Josie and Jane about Gilbert and all of them just gaping at her at first, and fangirling about it afterwards + Anne double-checking if Ruby is okay with it.
- Anne and Gilbert sending very long love letters to each other
- Some parts of the letters narrated in the voice-over as Anne and Gilbert live their lives and use each other’s words for inspiration do to the right thing, be the best version of themselves, and overcome struggles
- Gilbert visiting Anne ‘in the parlour, only on saturdays between 2 and 4’ but them obviously breaking the house rules bc they’ve missed each other so much and 2 hours is not enough :)
- Bash being the biggest Shirbert stan and joking about how they are really sending love letters this time + Gilbert just rolling his eyes and smiling like a softie in love
- Diana grinning everytime Gilbert is mentioned because her ship has sailed and she’s the captain
- Anne and Gilbert returning to Avonlea to celebrate Christmas together with Matthew, Marilla, Bash and Delphine + Anne and Gilbert being domestic parents with Delphine
- Gilbert being jealous of Roy Gardner but not for too long bc they have been through enough sh*t goodbye
- Gilbert and Anne telling/writing each other EVERYTHING and supporting each other in pursuing their dreams
- Dropping each other off at the train station when the other has to go back, with really long hugs and deep kisses
- Shirbert picknick with a nice aesthetic because... why not
- Competitive jokes and teasing (they’re still nerds afterall)
- A bunch of season 1–3 parallels because I’m a hoe for that stuff
Need a man to fall in love with me and pine for me for years, and when I reject his first proposal, his health gradually declines, until I return home one day to the news that he doesn't have long left to live, and it's on his death bed that I realise I've loved him the entire time, but it's okay because my friend has sent him a letter telling him that if he proposed to me again he'd likely get a different answer, and the glimmer of hope that I might love him back sets him upon a rapid, miraculous path of recovery
The fact that a Gilbert Blythe, a man from the early 1900s, a period were women were still oppressed and considered lesser than men was able to take rejection better than some guys in 2020 will always blow my fucking mind
Gilbert Blythe being like "guess I'll die" after the girl of his dreams rejects him and then actually almost dying for real is the most iconic thing I've ever seen. Bare minimum if you ask me
