Full honesty always: I somewhat, absolutely, completely loathe the fact that Jamie and Claire were separated for 20 years.
^(real life footage of me when I watched “Dragonfly in Amber”)
It absolutely rips my wee heart out, throws it on the ground, and stomps on it. I just do not like this plot point at all. After all Jamie and Claire had already survived, for them to have to go through this too, just seems to be cruel.
However, as much as I despise their separation, this narrative choice is what shapes and informs who Jamie and Claire are.
They are not two lovers who will be swayed by time or space.
They are not two people who will lose affection because adversity hits.
They are not ones to ever ever give up.
So although the twenty years apart really is grueling for us to absorb as viewers/readers—it is just another demonstration of the never-ending, all-encompassing, un-failing Love that Jamie and Claire share.
They will love, choose, and fight for each other no matter what comes.
Thank you so much for the ask and what are y’all’s thoughts about this one, darlings!?!
for the last 2+ weeks, the Amazon has been catching fire. Yes, it’s the season where that’s normal but because of the sayings (aka incentive) of our new president, some farmers are taking advantage of that and intentionally setting the trees on fire. Yesterday, because of this, the sky of São Paulo looked like this. AT THREE IN THE AFTERNOON.
Hospitals of the northern states are filling up with people (especially children and seniors) claiming they can’t breathe properly. ALREADY ENDANGERED ANIMALS ARE DYING. THIS IS SERIOUS.
Germany and Norway, huge donators to the Amazon cause will stop sending money because they don’t see results (that can also be credited to our president, who has been tweeting angrily ever since - not because he cares about the environment, btw). That money gives this guy and his team equipment to save little guys like these:
THIS AFFECTS EVERYONE, NOT JUST BRAZILIANS. The Amazon is the largest rainforest in the world, and it’s being destroyed. WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING.
If your country is holding elections, vote for someone who cares about this. Don’t let another Bolsonaro or another Trump have the power to do something and then do nothing. This is going to shape our future — if we have one.
PLEASE REBLOG, EVERYONE NEEDS TO SEE THIS!!
side note: not to sound bitter or ungrateful but also like what’s up with Europe… y’all exploited South America for centuries but just because you “aren’t seeing results” you stop helping altogether?? if you really wanted to help you wouldn’t stop because you think you aren’t helping lol
Please reblog to spread the news. This is important.
It is already threatened by huge deforestation, to the point it lost 20% of its width in less than 30 years.
It’s been burning for around two weeks and almost no word has been uttered about it. I, sincerely, have come to find out about it just now. I’m shooketh ™️ because we’re really burning away this planet.
The Amazon Rainforest holds 20% of global waters, it’s an area of incredible value in terms of biodiversity and, nevermind, it’s a crucial climate regulator. Spread awareness, demand help.
