Slowly but surely, we are unveiling Nocturn’s past! These chapters are definitely stretching on longer than anticipated, ahahaha. Mind the new character tags.

Back after a bit- admit it, we all need to occasionally take a break- I feel I needed to pace myself during the drought. But after a bit of scrolling, I felt compelled to dive right in. Isn’t this fandom about fun, entertainment and guilty pleasure? That’s why I’m here. So why the endless posts from the SH haters? Do people dislike SH, enjoy the snark or just think the man is stupid?

So just for fun (or insomnia) I thought I would play a short game of SH: Stupid, Smart or just SMH?

1. SH and Cons/Private events for $

Why do people have such a problem with SH trying to make a living? Most if not all actors part of a series or movie franchise participate. In my opinion SH is doing it now, so he won’t need to in his 60’s to pay the rent. While most fans are priced out of the more exclusive events, all I can say is the paying fans are the only ones that never complain. Supply and demand. If any charitable component is part of the deal, great. So can we finally put a line under this?

Verdict: Smart as hell

2. SH always “Shilling” SS to his Fans and on SM

Uhm, he is the brand. It’s his company. Can it be a bit much? Yes. Promotion to the fan base and the use of sm is marketing 101. In order for people to try the product they need to know about the product. We can disagree as to his methods or success to date, but fans are not the only ones buying bottles. As for the constant and consistent presence of AN with SH during events? Suddenly they are a couple? WTF. AN is a business partner. He owns part of the business. They both work hard promoting SS, and so far it looks like they will continue to release more SS. Ladies, don’t put your lawn chairs away yet!😉

Verdict: Smart

3. SH and boundaries with his fans

Regardless of the letter you attach to SH, he is a recognized actor around the world. Definitely a people pleaser, in imho, he will happily take a selfie with anyone. Obviously, he never wants to disappoint any fan, but his lack of boundaries and security at events can be cringe worthy at times. If a female actor was touched, mauled, or asked to sign fans boobs or t-shirts it would be a #me too moment. Someone, anyone in security or a handler needs to be bad cop if he won’t. How far is too far?

Verdict: Stupid with a side of SMH

4. SH as a Philanthropist and Charitable Causes

This one really bugs me. MPC has raised over $6m for charity. SH’s name attached to any cause raises awareness and $. The BS from the haters who discount this based on the fact SH apparently never donates his own money is petty nonsense. Gentleman’s ride is one example. Agree it was his female fans that made it happen. And? This is my only fandom but SH is held to an impossible standard. Apparently he is a hypocrite in his support for clean oceans because someone on his team had a catered lunch using single use plastics. Great topic for discussion, but the man didn’t throw the containers in the ocean. Also let’s not judge a person’s commitment based on sm posts. SH can literally, yes ladies literally never win. Thankfully the causes he supports do. I dare you to disagree.

Verdict: Smart

5A. SH’s dating life

According to an extremely ardent part of this fandom, SH has dated😉 every fit blonde 👱‍♀️ within a 250 mile radius of everywhere. I wish that someone would keep track of all the mysterious initials and lack of any literal proof of these women. This is where I separate the snark from the hater’s. While I’m in owe of the investigative skills of some, and enjoy the gossip-even though mom thought gossip was a sin, sorry mom- not all women aka initials welcome the attention. Any woman save CB that SH is remotely warranted or not attached to, has an avalanche of hate comments and 💩emoji in their future, welcome or not. Personally, I believe SH, goes out of his way to protect the people he cares about, and perhaps even those he may not. I think we can agree he is not a monk. However an actor is entitled to privacy. Ginger Jesus included.

5B. SH ‘s Sexuality

From the beginning, 3 years for me, I’ve read posts about someone who knew a friend of a friend of a bartender’s friend who knew for a fact SH had a boyfriend. WTF. You know the drought is real when this bullshit gets recycled. We all know the question has been asked and answered by SH. More than once. Next.

Verdict: SH keeping his private life private: Smart as hell.

6. SH and the use of all things Outlander related

If you don’t get it, I don’t have the time and am too lazy to explain it to you.

Verdict: Smart. Smart as hell

7. SH and CB

The only real problem here is obvious. And I don’t know why the fans or even the haters- btw, I use the term haters like I do profanity- perhaps not the best word, but like GFY, FU, MF, C, etc. I’m lazy and it saves time and no confusion to whom I address. So where the actual f&ck is the audition tape we all want to see? You know the part of which I speak. If only the fandom investigators could put aside any petty differences and uncover the SH, CB chemistry kiss tape? I’m not saying it will be a unifying and CTJ moment, but it would give SH fans something to make the drought less….thirsty.

No verdict necessary. 👩‍❤️‍💋‍👨😚😉

And last but definitely not least…

8. SH and Thirst Traps

Ladies, because of Outlander and all things Outlander related, we’ve had the pleasure to observe SH from every view and lovely angle. Come on, if you 👀 closely it’s all there. Why the actual f&ck people in this fandom have a problem with his shirtless posts is beyond me. Not only is he promoting the results a good fitness regime can produce, he is literally, yes literally giving his fans something they want. And don’t even try me with- you’re treating him like an object. This is a 100% consensual relationship. And if the word “hater” seems harsh about the same gang that complains and shits all over his shirtless thirst traps, then please find me a better name.

Verdict: Smart as hell and thank you

Swoonworthy! ❤️❤️❤️

That's what I think Sam created over the years!!!

We've known the story about his father for years. It's not new! And what Sam described in MIK is not recent... His father passed away 10 years ago, and he had this reunion with him some time before.

I question how Sam has related this in the past, and how he uses it more recently, creating this character: the traumatized man who can't sustain a relationship, and that's why he's this guy who focuses on work... Being the career-focused man who works a lot and doesn't have time for relationships. He didn't do that at first (But back then he didn't have a collection of lies and whisky, gin, books and such to sell).

And let's face it, adding that line about the impact of not having his father in his life had some effect on Sam's speech about his lack of relationship/ about why he can't engage in a relationship. By itself, being busy with work is a shallow excuse. Working a lot doesn't stop people from having families.

In Waypoints, Sam marketed this character...

And now Sam has done it in MIK imo.

Sam didn't use to bring up this story about his father so often... But since Waypoints, when he associates it to explain his relationships... Sam has been repeating and repeating about it... 🙄 But life stories like this one draws attention and moves fans.

I believe that Sam hides who he is and something behind this character of himself. A character that serves his purposes well. And what a large part of this fandom believes to be who he really is.

I advise my followers to read this article from 2014 (there is a good part of his father's story in this article, including Sam barely knowing his father's name).

When Cait says her hubby is shy... 😜🤣 It's not like Sam can be like that anymore... And nowadays it seems that he totally pursues that celebrity side.

“For me, my role was to support her, look after her, whatever she needed, literally as an actor, as a friend, but also as the character.” -Sam talking about Caitriona(and also OL and JamieClaire)

waypoints are scattered all over teyvat, we all know this. so does everyone else in teyvat. in my dr, your average run-of-the-mill joe shmoe almost never uses them, however this doesn't mean they are as unused as we see them in the game. in fact, tons of people (ahem--aether, paimon, and i--ahem) use them fairly regularly, especially if you are in the adventurers guild. Unless you have a vision they sort of just use mora to teleport you cuz idk, mora's magic or smth, but if you have a vision then no biggie, you just might feel disoriented for a minute. teleporting feels super weird, but not painful. kind of like if you eliminated the pain you feel after an intense stretch, put that all over your body, and then squished you? idk exactly how it feels, i haven't shifted yet, but that's always what ive thought teleporting would feel like. once you access a waypoint for the first time you can teleport to it whenever you need/want the moment you think of it. like a mental map or smth.
