Life & Inspiration, Outlander & GoT

Nant Ffrancon, Snowdonia, Wales

There’s something endlessly fascinating about how the champions of the “beautiful love story” between SRH and 🌀 explain away the glaring lack of warmth, enthusiasm, or even basic interest SRH seems to show toward his alleged “girlfriend”.

Apparently, it’s because… “They’re just so simple and grounded”.

Or: “They look like any normal couple and family out and about. Not all over each other, especially with a child in tow”.

Or my personal favorite: “They’re acting normal”.

It’s impossible not to notice this is the exact same mental gymnastics that used to be applied to another “madly in love” couple: CMB and 🧛🏻‍♂️.

It always leaves me wondering: how bleak must someone’s idea of a loving relationship be if indifference is considered “normal” and emotional frostbite is rebranded as being “grounded”?

Totally random photo. Strictly for attention. Just two co-stars unwinding after a long day of exhausting interviews.

And that giant pillow over SRH’s lower abdomen? Purely for warmth, obviously.

Well, hey there! Long time, no see! So yesterday, I received an ask from a reader wondering if I was still writing. I admitted that I had lost my writing mojo and probably just needed to do a one-shot instead of worrying about that WIP glaring at me every time I open my laptop.

So here it is! It's a short and sweet high school AU about Jamie and Claire. Jamie wants to ask Claire to a dance but is afraid to get turned down because they are "just friends". Well, you and I both know that that is the furthest thing from the truth in Outlander world.
