Sam has bad luck, all his fans are too old
The PR team made attempts to market Sam to a young segment and it didn't work
Sam is worried about beyond Outlander and he's right about that
I agree with you Anon. If you look at the women attending the panel at NYCC you'd be hard pressed to find one attending who is under the age of 45. Starz essentially kept him single and childless all for the likes of 'horny grannies' who fund his every venture.
Kept him single for horny grannies 🤣 what’s even sadder is he could have had his wife and kids and they would still have funded everything! Why? Because most horny grannies are not delusional, its just a bit of dream time, fun for them, probably majority married with kids/grandkids. 🙄
I agree with you both @Odessa-2 and @skippyangel16 but realistically those of us in our advanced years are probably most likely to be able to pay the ridiculous prices they charge at these events (maybe there’s more then one reason they call it a “con”)
Our prayers are with her Majesty and the Royal Family

I will always reblog things like this, it won’t ruin your blog or the look of it, and this could potentially save a life.
PLEASE reblog this.
Stay safe out there
Since we‘re apparently a „small vocal group“, I‘d be interested to know just how small our group is. So:
I’m hugely invested in Sam & Cait and their undeniable love for each other.
However, Cait leaves a sour taste on my tongue for her unending lies.
🚢 and reblog.
BELIEVER ALL THE WAY!
Still here, BELIEVE as strongly as I did before! 💙💚
SamCait believer come hell or high water!!!
I believe what I see 💞💞
There is a blind item on crazy days and nights about a foreign born actress on a cable show who blames her fans for everything. Think this is about Cait? Says crew are starting to talk despite NDA.
I went digging. It wasn't an easy item to find but it appears as though some people have guessed Cait. I mean she certainly fits the description 🤪
Could you please recount ,for us newbies, what happened after the scene (at Faith's grave) happened? Thank you so much!
Hi, anon. As far as I remember, an anon left a message in the inbox for Jess, a blogger who is no longer active. The message said that at the end of filming the scene at the tomb, Cait was in a very sensitive state and she would not stop crying. She couldn't switch off from the scene they had filmed and Sam walked her to her trailer and stayed with her until she calmed down. As always, the information that comes from anon, without a reliable source, is left to the interpretation of the recipient, but it is still a beautiful gesture, regardless of what you believe, as a co-worker, to lend your support in a moment so vulnerable 🥰
I believe its true prob not the only time i think the other pic is from season 2 ? ( S ‘s hair)
For those that were here during that time frame, I remember this coming from Jess. I 💯 believe that prior to filming Faith, Caitriona experienced some type of personal loss...imo a miscarriage. As having lost my 2nd child, I know this grief & her portrayal of a grieving mother was too real...she's 💔 and it's evident on screen.
I also remember that Sam was deliberately keep away from Cait during the “Faith” episode so that she wouldn’t be able to rely on his support during the scenes when she lost the baby. I think it was something that Ronald Moore said. Does anyone else remember that? #auburncurlslass I’m so sorry for your loss. ❤️
I consider your observations and those of Digssy to the sentence of G. B. Shaw to be correct. These reflect the thoughts of many fans who have lost or are losing trust and appreciation about these two people who cannot see us as people but only as numbers. Thanks to all of you who write on this side of the fandom and who know how to empathize with many of us.
You're most welcome Anon. I call things out as I see them and I'm afraid that I am less tolerant of SC's deception as time wears on. And that's because SC have taken the narrative to a level that I never thought possible and that I find inexcusable. And I find it inexcusable because I don't think there is a serious enough reason on this earth for them to enagage in such forgeries.
There is nothing so malevolent that has made Caitriona pretend a man other than her real husband knocked her up and fathered her child. It's one thing to not reveal they are together and quite another to engage in deliberate manipulation on a grand scale.It's completely twisted and they have chosen the path.
It speaks very poorly of their characters and I am aware that there are still plenty of shippers who love to fan away over them and still see them as victims. But I cannot and do not see them as victims any longer. They may have started off that way but the abused have now become the abusers as @diggsydogsquee has so aptly pointed out before. Anon you are correct when you say that they see fans as numbers and objects they can make money off and nothing more. However I think most people on tumblr recognise that now.
One of the best posts that I have read for a very long time. The depth and length of time that this sham has continued is unbelievable. Even by Hollywood standards (oxymoron), Sam and Caitriona now look “tacky.”
Dear Cait's PR,
We wish we could start on a positive note. Alas, vox populi decided that we were right all this time. We truly hate to say that we were right all this time but we were right all this time. And you didn't listen. Well, the baby smiles so that's all that matters. (BTW, babies start smiling when they are about 2 months old but given that you clearly hate math, this information is irrelevant.)
All those photoshoots, all those articles, interviews, pseudointerviews, knitting stories out of thin air... in vain. All those terminator-themed repulsive outfits of unsightly colours that you had to endure editing. So much effort, energy, enthusiasm generated only to produce indifference among the peers and 'what now?' or 'not again!' reaction from the fans.
You see, we want to help. As a matter of fact, we are helping. We have been all this time. Providing feedback, guidelines, examples both good and bad. Sadly, it fell on deaf ears.
Speaking of the notorious article/interview in the most important stepping stone glossy magazine, it shouldn't have happened. Not like that, not ever. But would you listen to us? No, we are only women, that happen to be the target market of the magazine, which is white women with the average age of 45,2.
Why the stepping stone? Because if that went well, she would be on the cover of The Hollywood Reporter or Variety by the end of this month. Magazines love pretty people on their covers because it sells. If magazines sell, they prove their relevance alongside the relevance of the people in it and on it.
There is creating buzz and then there is word-of-badmouth. Why do allow the latter to dominate in the interviews? Why do you allow her systematically saw off the branch she is sitting on?
Why do you paint a picture of an arrogant, ungrateful, entitled wannabe born into genetic privilege who doesn't exude a drop of kindness, humility, and gratitude? Why do you perversely present arrogance as ambition? Why do you perpetuate division and mockery of fans, co-workers, and, shockingly, even the awards granted?
You don't go back to sleep, you cannot fall asleep of excitement!
You won't be the same regardless, you express gratitude.
You don't blame your superiors as well as your fans in a single breath, no matter the size of the fraction. You show appreciation of the opportunity and continous support!!!
It is your job to read every single word she utters and correct it in print before it's published. It is your job to coach your client on what to say and what not to say in interviews. It is your job to shape her image the way it will self-propell her to where she aspires to be.
If this strenuous campaign didn't show you that your strategy is not only appalingly ineffective but also down right counterproductive, we take the liberty to inform you that you threw the Oscar baby with the bathwater. Good Sir himself was, shall we say, surprised by the non-nomination. He bet on the prettiest horse but that horse lost to the old one with a stellar reputation, even though it barely made it to the finish line.
You may say that she needed more experience under her belt to get noticed. We ask: how is she gonna get more experience with the portrait you present her with to wide audiences as well as potential employers?
Humans crave belonging more than anything else. Stop the transparent and repellent divisiveness, make her relatable, humble, and open minded. Make her talk less, listen more, and smile more, not snark about everything and everyone. It's tiresome because it's old.
Show that she has learned from her experiences so far and made personal progress. Relying on good looks and witticism has past its mark. Time to show what she has learned. If she wants to direct, there is a book she has rights to film. She can direct to her heart's content. If there is a will, there is a way. Less talking, more doing and tide will turn.
Knowing all too well that repeating the same thing over and over and expecting different results is the very definition of insanity (which may very well be a teachable moment for you), we conclude our goodwill oriented one-way correspondence with you.
We may watch and observe your ongoing work but we will keep our further opinions to ourselves. There is a charming proverb including pearls and a specific kind of animal that may or may not be proven right in this case.
Yours intuitively always right,
Fans
Very well formed argument and great points. But my question is what kind of a person allows their PR to continually fuck their image over like that? She could fire her PR people but she doesn't. She has a massive say in how she wants to be portrayed in the public eye and if she's not comfortable or happy with that image she has the capacity to change it.
[February 10, 2022]
It should be obvious that something is very wrong when Cait insults and turns off many of her most supportive fans, myself included. What a waste of the six years I spent admiring and defending her. She’s so intent on doing anything to garner attention, adulation, and awards that I no longer recognize the person she’s become.
CAITRIONA BALFE HAS BECOME A TRAIN WRECK. SOMEBODY FIX IT!!!
THIS IS MY BLOG HEADER. SOMETHING'S VERY VERY WRONG HERE, PEOPLE.
It wasn't for lack of warning to her. They always read us here. But they pay a lot of money to stupid RPs. Okay Got nothing again.
👏🏽👏🏽 good point
☝️☝️☝️
Proof Cait does not own a mirror 😳
Jesus, Joseph, and doggie style, Mary!!! 🤯
🤦🏻♀️
She’s already for Mardi Gras…or the circus 🤦♀️
Help me out here — everyone taking sides over the VF article needs to hear this. I’m an editor by profession. Trust me, I KNOW Cait said a million other things during her VF interview, none of which made it into print. There’s an entire team at VF that will research, interview, write and edit a cover story in order to sell VANITY FAIR and make the magazine part of the cultural conversation. CB, being CB, of course said her typical stuff, among many other things that (no doubt) were entirely banal. And as always, VF chose the most reactive quotes they could, and painted a portrait to benefit themselves, not to give any real insight into CB. And guess what? It worked, didn’t it? Here we all are, chatting away, myself included. Seriously. Let’s all wake up. Let’s not reward VF or CB by paying any more attention to this. Thank you.
A good point well made Anon
All of the above!!!! The article generated exactly what it was supposed to do, and had all of the trigger points well covered.
Amen Anon! Thank you for weighing in.
PLEASE PASS THIS ON
❤️❤️❤️

I was not looking forward to Bees, didn’t pre-order the book, nor Sam’s books for that matter, and I didn’t care about the long droughtlander so much. But today, I told myself, what the heck, I should still read Bees, so I ordered an electronic copy and began to read it. You see, I discovered Outlander in early 2019 through the series. I fell in love with the story, and binge watched the first three seasons which were available on Netflix in a matter of days. I was hooked, wanted to know more and quickly moved to reading the books, all eight of them within a period of a few months.
At the same time, I became interested in the actors, particularly Sam. I thought he was incredibly handsome and started following him more closely than I had ever followed any actor before him. You could say I idolized him, that is until March 2020 and his covidiocy.
That’s when I landed here on Tumblr, and I never saw him, the show, nor the books in the same light again. It’s as if I was seeing all that I loved about Outlander through a murky lens that emphasized the bad and the ugly, and diminished the good.
All this to say that I didn’t expect to feel the way I did when I opened Bees. It was as if some of the muck that was blurring my vision was lifted somehow. I am only a few pages in, but the characters I first fell in love with are there, unchanged by the ugliness that this fandom creates too often.
And it doesn’t matter if Sam’s a jerk, if the shippers believe in unicorns, and if the mommies keep embarrassing themselves and this fandom, I will still enjoy reading the story of Claire and Jamie, because I love them despite everything else.
BRAVA!!!! And this is exactly how it should be @bestjaydee . I , too will always love the OL books and story. Enjoy what you love!!!

Thank you very much for the screenshots that Duncan has deleted, you know who you are😘
Post then Deleted. Probably got hacked 😎
Not too late. These were posted and deleted on purpose to get the fandom riled up. Works every time so why should they stop?
Heard some important information on Twitter today, and thought I’d post it here for anyone who may not have heard it. This is actually a thing, devised by human rights organisation called Karma Nirvana.
