I miss first season Jamie and Claire. 😪😪😪

I also miss season 1 Sam and Caitriona. 💔💔💔

They really were magical together...

i HATE self-censorship for a lot of reasons, but being in crisis work makes it even more frustrating. who are you censoring for? like i am being so fr, WHO are you censoring for? have you even thought it through? people who have been raped know that they have been raped. if someone attempts suicide or is grieving someone who did, saying "sewer slide" isn't going to protect them from any of the feelings. a murder victim's family isn't going to feel better bc you said "unalived" instead of murdered. if anything, it's just extremely invalidating and othering. it's saying "what happened to you is so bad that i won't even say the word," which is NOT trauma-informed care. you are not protecting survivors/victims when you self-censor. the ONLY things you protect when you self-censor are the puritanical ideologies that are being encouraged by rich fascists who want your money and obedience

Edinburgh Castle.

There's no magical force that compels ICE to leave citizens alone. They've literally been kidnapping people without due process, and their supporters have literally been saying that they're okay with that. They've also murdered people while knowing they're on camera with zero fear whatsoever. ICE are a terrorist organization with a free pass to do whatever they want.

Ethie

She should have anticipated this happening at some point, but not a day into being here. 

And she certainly did not anticipate the amount of chaotic energy spiraling out of control, nearing taking out windows and mirrors. The surrogates were running around trying to avoid being hit by said energy spikes, their sinister dark purple flashes of light promising pain and anguish.

“What is going on here?!” Bonnie screeched, hiding behind Ronnie, who was doing his best to shield the woman with his body. “How did we get here?”

“I dinna ken, mo chridhe,” Ronnie shouted back, “but we will get through this. Together.”

Ethie watched in fascination as they embraced with a tenderness she hadn’t seen since she left Ornovia, and it made her long for her real parents on the motherworld. 

I hope to have that kind of love one day…

The voice in her head was the loudest it had ever been, and she nearly cried out when it said. “YOU FOOL! GET THE SURROGATES BACK IN LINE! NOW!”

The base of her throat burned again, and her senses dulled slightly. 

All she could see were two misbehaving beings in front of her. And they needed to be put back in their places. Her vision went black with rage, she covered her face then immediately snapped it to her side.

“DARK FORCE KNIGHT! ARISE!”

Donned in all black and an arsenal that would put any military force to shame, she stalked towards the pair and proceeded to kick Bonnie in the back, toppling them both down to the ground. Reaching out one hand into the air, she harnessed the surging energy spikes into the palm of her hand, holding it like a dangerous weaponized orb.

The two humans cowered in her presence, and when she spoke, it wasn’t her voice that came from her throat.

“Naughty children should know better than to break from their bonds.”
