“Thy boon companion”

I don't pay attention to John Bell at all, he's a sweetie though. And Rik, very little (although back in the day, a Glasgow source told me something that has never been revealed about him or been corroborated so I've never spoken about it publicly. Nor will I...because it's very personal and involves other people). But if it ever comes out, you'll know I already knew. This is from his pre Outlander days and it involves his personal life.

Anatomy Def: Paired muscles of facial expression.

Outlander Def: Ian’s worry lines when he learns he must leave his beloved Emily! 😢

Don’t know about you, but for me, John Bell’s performance in Outlander episode 605, Hour of the Wolf was flawless. His facial expressions perfectly mirrored the stress roiling in his personal life.

Facial Expression: Humans enjoy 22 pair of muscles controlling facial expression, more than any other animal, blessing us with an amazing range of emotional aspects.

As Ian hears the Mohawk’s decision about his and Emily’s fates, the skin wrinkles between his eyebrows. How does this happen?

Corrugator Supercilii: Well, his facial expression is caused by contraction of corrugator supercilii (CS) muscles, just one of the 22 pair! 😲

Super silly, huh? 😜
