Hi dear Anon – have we been DMing this afternoon?😘                                          I don’t know if I have “logic and calm” to offer right now. I just know life can get really complicated and messy, and because of that, we sometimes do and say things that do not reflect our true and best selves. I’ve certainly been there before, except in my case, a small group knows about it, not a large group of people all over the world. 

Since the age of 10, I have known a person who is now quite famous. Virtually all of you would recognize this person’s name. I have learned a great deal from watching “N” and family thru the years. One of the things I’ve learned is to be grateful that my hiccups are not heard around the world the way their hiccups are. I’ve also learned that, when all is said and done, this person likes to come back to the hometown for the annual family reunion, eat pie from the only bakery in town, see high school friends, and fish in the local fishing hole. What is essential to being alive – connections with those we love, having a place to call home, being surrounded by the familiar – fame and fortune do not eliminate those things from our lives. I believe the same can be said of Cait and Sam.

I don’t know what’s going on and have mentioned to some friends here that it seems as though we’re on a gerbil wheel. I DO know I am way less emotionally invested in this whole thing. I love Outlander – the books and the show. The books have been part of my life for a very long time, so I’m not letting anything take away my enjoyment of and appreciation for the Claire and Jamie story. 

I am bothered by the statement that essentially translates to “fans are delusional.” The “remember whens” by @rainmanjdog reflect neither delusional thinking nor fantasizing – they are simply collections of things that have factually happened. And anyone who disputes those facts has not been paying attention to things the way we have. Or they’re delusional, not us.

In the midst of responding to your question, I delivered a baby. I tell you that just to remind myself, and you, to keep all of this in perspective. We’ve all said many times the best thing about being here is the friendship, support, encouragement, and goodwill we share. Nothing can take that away from us. And for that, I will be always grateful to each one of you, even those among you who don’t like me, because I learn from you too.

“We’re not together,” Caitriona told E! News exclusively today while promoting Outlander’s April return. “It’s funny. We’ve always said from the get go that we’re incredibly great friends. 

And to have that friendship and that closeness and to be able to get along as we do on set, it’s great that we’re able to get along that well.”

“We’re not together. I’m sorry to break people’s hearts. They like to try to maybe replicate the Claire and Jamie story. But I think it would be difficult for us to work together and be together.”

 “Yeah, we could try…” Sam interjected

“I think it’s strange isn’t it? because I think people buy into the show and I think we then say no we’re saying it’s just  it’s not real, they feel like they’ve been duped. It’s like, ‘You acted it. You lied to us!’ And I’m like, ‘Well, sorry!’“

“OBVIOUSLY NOT TOGETHER” 

“they were very upset that we’ve been lying most time.”

“It’s nice that people kind of see something in that, but you know, we’ve always just been friends. 

And I said it from the beginning but people didn’t want to hear it!”

Yeah we are crazy right? 

Too much gifs found around the web sorry! Credits @jamesandclairefraser @yellowfeather84 @lenaguffi @lallybroch-lass and IDK contact me and I will give you credits.

BLESS. YOU!!!! SEE ABOVE FOR THE REASONS WHY SAM AND CAIT ARE THE BIGGEST HYPOCRITES AND LIARS TO EVER WALK THE PLANET GOODBYE

First of all……
Hellloooooooo! So glad to see you again! Hope you are having a beautiful summer so far.

Down to business…..

Lololololololol……her handsome costar…….

Met him last year……..

I love it! This heavy push in Ireland is sort of going over like a ton of bricks, isnt it?

Thanks so much for the info, and the short visit. Don’t be a stranger. We can talk about other stuff too. Do you have sheep? It is my dream that every Irish person has sheep. 😅🐏🐑 or goats…..🐐

Say it louder, Caitriona.

Mmmmmmmmmm 🤔

Proof that this interview was so full of lies… she always was a selfie kind of girl… not every week but this is clearly not something she despised…

Seems as though that fiancé of hers really stops her from being herself. Sounds healthy.

You know what truly amazes me about Cait (and to a lesser extent, Sam) these days?

That she, and they, are still attracting new shippers. I think that’s really a testament to us, these blogs, to this community that has endured through A LOT.

Because reading this new interview of Cait’s, looking at how little she talks about her show or career on social media, I wouldn’t become a fan if I was new around these streets. I definitely wouldn’t start shipping her with Sam, because for the most part, they give us so little.

She has established through words (print and spoken) several times that she is not with Sam and never was. Why is she still answering questions about it in interviews? Why even talk about it anymore? That engagement ring should be all the explanation anyone needs. Yet someone allows for it to be brought up every single time because she and Sam – SamCait – THAT is the interesting part of the whole story.

So what this all tells me is that people, new fans, anyone who is curious about her or them, is googling. And they’re finding tumblr. They’re finding shipper blogs – they’re discovering us and who we are and all those receipts we have screencapped and memorized and talk about all the time.

It’s enough to make people scratch their heads and go huh. And then they start to ship, whether they mean to or not. Pretty amazing, isn’t it? That everything we have seen and documented – it’s powerful enough to bring on new people all the time even when the two people at the center of it are saying don’t do it.

I wonder why that is.
