yes, we know anne is brave and love her for it, and joke about her BDE, but she is 41 here, no? 41 years and a lot of female lovers later, you are already there in acceptance (not saying it was easy). but has ann even really kissed anyone else before? like, WANTED to? if you rewatch their talk about kissing "maybe, just to see what is like" it might as well be about anne still. i am just glad that we get to see ann's road to that same bravery as anne, to wanting to have a wife, and share a home
Oh my god donβt talk to me about that scene because itβs PERFECT!!!!!!!! I just wanna say, and this is gonna be a rant yβall just so you know, that theΒ βHave you ever kissed anyone?β scene is my favorite, like my absolute fave of the whole series because:
1. the way Anne just fucking asks that question after leading the conversation to sex with all that pocket holes story is aΒ magistral flirting move.
3.Β every single line is flirty and hot af!!! even when Anne saysΒ βPerhaps you wouldnβt tell me if you had.β implying that Ann could have a reason to not tell her, i.e. she doesnβt want to tell her because thereβs something between them and you donβt talk about past lovers with your new potential one!!!!!!!
4. Ann asking super fastΒ βHave you?β glancing at Anneβs lips because, maybe, sheβs starting to think that THEY could kiss. The way Anne saysΒ βI asked you.β with that little flirty smile akfafkhjlj and Ann that canβt even breathe properly! like her breathing is not steady at all lol poor baby was turned on af
5. βWell, have you never wanted to?ββ¦ cut to >Β Actual proof earlier that episode of Ann Walker wanting to kiss Anne Lister:
The tension the TENSION!!!! Sheβs fucking drawn to her!!! look how she moves forward without even realizing it!!!!! I canβt with this show I swearβ¦
6.Β βHave you?β -Β βWanted to?β β¦
oh my goooooooood, the pause she does before answering and how she looks at Annβs lips for the longest time making sure Ann is watching what sheβs doing
7. the way Ann asksΒ βWell, who? When?β with a little panic in her voice, not knowing if sheβs more scared of Anne saying the name of a random someone or if sheβs more scared of her own desire to hear her own name as the answer to that question!!! LOOK AT HER!!!
her face is like βis she gonna say my name??? oh my god do I even want her to say my name??? what if Iβm the one she wants to kiss?? am I hoping she says itβs me? oh please say itβs meβ. Annβs feeling a little scared, kinda turned on, confused but excited (and you can see all of it on her face because Sophie is amazing) And then when Anne actually implies she wants to kiss her, she goes into gay panic mode lol I love Ann Walker so much <3
8. And last but not the least, I love how ANNEβSΒ FUCKING LEANING ON THAT COUCH POSITIONING HERSELF A LITTLE LOWER THAN ANN TO PHYSICALLY BE IN A POSITION OF βDISADVANTAGEβ KINDA SUBMITTING HERSELF TO ANN WHEN in reality SHEβS THE ONE LEADING THE CONVERSATION!!! She gives Ann a physical power to make her feel as comfortable as possible because she knows that what sheβs implying (i.e. wanting to kiss her) could scare her and so she tries to balance the situation by being as less intimidating as possible with her body language!!!! ITβs FUCKING HOT I CANT- her body language saysΒ βIβm here and Iβm open to whatever you feel like doing, you choose, you can come to me if you want, Iβm here and I wonβt push youβΒ while looking at Annβs lips the whole time, and so making it clear that if Ann wants to kiss her she absolutely can!!!!! and itβs the sexiest thing Iβve ever seen.
Okay, Iβm doneβ¦now, on a more serious note, watching that scene after you know what happened with Ainsworth is really different because you know that the only experience Ann has ever had was horrible and her answers have a whole new meaning. And this is one of the things this show does really well, the dialogues have more to it than what it seems.
