You are alive. You are whole. All is well.

(Excerpt from The Outlandish Companion volume 2)

Lol Diana is so unserious. He is def not a victim, but John not “pining away from unrequited love”?? ijbol

Oh, he finds physical gratification wherever he can all right. But love? Please, enlighten me… oh wait, there was this one time… even though I wouldn’t say falling in love once in a lifetime — whilst refusing to admit it to himself and to his partner because of the torch he carries for a straight guy — and never doing it again after oh-so-surprisingly losing the lover he didn’t want to fully commit to qualifies as “finding love where he can”, but that is just me!! :///

Also saying that John understands the need to love “rather than to demand the gift of another” is such a weird take if we are talking about him finding reciprocated love.

Reciprocated love is not a matter of demanding anything from anyone, but giving because you want to and receiving in return because the other person also wants to give.

And it’s funny how John, out of all the characters, is the one that has to “understand the need to love” without being loved back. I mean, Claire and Jamie, Bree and Roger, Fergus and Marsali, Ian and Rachel, Dottie and Denzell… but when it comes to John the unrequited love becomes “understanding the need to give without receiving” and reciprocated love becomes “demanding the gift of another”?

I mean-

Do you know, if I'm honest, I have been feeling a bit adrift lately.

Teaching today gave me a nice grounded feeling.

"Before we leave, there's a place I'd like you to see."

"I wish I could have seen it in its heyday."

New photos of Roger and Bree were posted by the Outlander instagram and I'm screaming!!!! They look beautiful!!! 😍😍😍 Look at them!! God I'm just in love with these images. Can't wait for the new season and new Roger/Bree content!

Remember that time we drove up into the mountains of North Carolina? I do. You almost drove us off the rode. Because someone thought it was a good idea to kiss me at 75 miles per hour. We almost broke up that weekend. We did break up that weekend. Yeah. But then I pursued you. Through time. Usual story.
