Night is beautiful when you are happy—comforting when you are in grief—terrible when you are lonely and unhappy.

Purplish-grey eyes, with violet shadows under them that always seemed darker and more alluring after Emily had sat up to some unholy and un-Elizabethan hour completing a story or working out the skeleton of a plot
Emily’s most annoying feature imo. I chronically have violet eye bags but they sure as hell don’t make my eyes more alluring!! Except maybe to a raccoon!!

No living creature but herself seemed abroad and the cold shadows settling down over the withered fields lent to the landscape of too-early spring an aspect inexpressibly dreary and mournful. It made Emily feel hopeless, as if the best of life already lay in the past.

I’m half an hour into my first dragon quest game and it’s so funny because everyone is like “OH FUCK. A MONSTER. A BEAST. KILL IT. TAKE IT DOWN BEFORE IT ATTACKS US. AH FUCK. OH SHIT WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO” and then the monster in question is

And there was always her dream-world into which she could escape from monotony and loneliness, and taste strange, sweet happiness unmarred by any cloud or shadow.

I know I always call myself a Dean Priest apologist as a joke, but I think one of the reasons why I find the groomer/creep label for him reductive is that it totally overlooks how L.M. Montgomery situates him in a Gothic tradition. We know LMM was hugely influenced by Jane Eyre and nowhere more clearly than in the Wyther Grange sequence, where Gothic tropes abound: an old ancestral house, night terrors, old gossip about love affairs, and the arrival of a cultured and sophisticated older man whose romantic interest in the heroine operates inherently repressively even while exerting fascination on her and the audience. Dean’s parallels to Rochester suffuse the text (the “am I handsome?” “No” exchange comes from Brontë nearly verbatim), yet so do his similarities to St. John Rivers, especially in how their societally sound offer of marriage would rob Emily/Jane of their trademark freedom. None of this necessarily exonerates Dean’s manipulative behavior, but it goes some lengths to justifying LMM’s neutral/occasionally favorable portrayal of him that could seem outrageous from 21st century standards.
