That was exactly the problem — not the inclusion of the custom but the length of screen time devoted to it
(Halfway done so apparently this is indeed happening 😅)
Would be too old, actually, for the same reason that baby Beauchamp is too old to be Fanny and Jane’s parent. Grandparent makes more sense.
Might write a oneshot tonight. Will probably turn off comments because I don’t actually want people yelling at me about the show as though I wrote it and I guarantee that’s what would happen but I’m so into the idea of Brian-of-no-birthday…
Caitríona Balfe you are truly one of kind gem🤍 (📸: misan harriman)
Ohhh… hmm. That’s trickier
Apparently it was A Thing, but I think this was one of those historical rabbit holes they fell down and decided to incorporate but got over their heads
Just sell them on stubhub! I did that last year. 😊
I'm wondering if the research uncovered the gossips tradition and they got so caught up in showing an authentic birth tradition that it carried them all away.
Yeah I’m totally stumped as to who Baby Beauchamp is. Not Young Simon, I’m sure… but then who??
Must be cause geeeez
Let alone repeatedly 😬
I think my biggest bafflement is that there were these really good scenes rich with character content (especially Brian, which we needed) peppered into like an acid trip in other scenes that went so off the rails that I had total whiplash and felt like this emoji 😵💫😵💫😵💫 #BloodOfMyBlood
I’m not mad I’m just baffled 😆
That’s exactly it. The bones are actually fine? I’m there, I see it, that makes sense… but why….. WHY to so much of that dressing? It felt like a dream or an acid trip or just… really incongruous to anything that actually needed to happen, and for why?? Why?
Like the actual plot points I could follow but the way it was staged felt like an ACID TRIP and I’m so…… confused why that was the way they wanted to try to get to these otherwise feasible points that could have been done so many other ways??? I am… confused
Like okay… I think Bug paying off a woman to lie to Henry = feasible and in character plot point. Throw that in as a twist yes, fine, good. All the Brian stuff, good. Davina coming around when she sees herself in Julia’s love for her baby, good. But wtf to the confinement stuff?! #BloodOfMyBlood
Legit I was like oh ok so this was a dream! But it WASN’T??
*very neatly cuts this episode down to the last 5 min with Brian, Julia, and baby Beauchamp* … there we go. Just that. That was great. Cut, print. We’re just, uh… let’s go with that and… not… the rest of it? Cause Brian never having a birthday and Julia giving him cake was sweet #BloodOfMyBlood
Mostly I kept expecting Julia to wake up because wtf kind of crazy fun house nightmare was THAT 😳 It’s like Claire’s waking daydream of telling Mrs Fitz she was a time traveler and she went psycho screaming at her but then it wasn’t a daydream #BloodOfMyBlood #OutlanderAtMidnight
Whoa JFC that was a lot I don’t know where to even start??? Uhhh #BloodOfMyBlood #OutlanderAtMidnight
No problem
I don’t think mammogram coverage is in danger — vaccines are though 😣
CVS will ask if you have any condition that puts you at risk if you get COVID. You sure do! Check that box. They will not ask what that condition is, either on the website or in person. But it’ll let you get it. That will change on Sept 18, guaranteed. So do not wait.
If you are in the U.S., I want you to go to CVS, Walgreens, etc website right now and book your flu and COVID vaccines and ANYTHING else you’re due for. RFK’s committee meets on Sept 18th. Get in now — this weekend, or on your lunch, or the way home from work. Book it while you’re thinking of it.
Danielle Berrow too. Goodbye nice knowing you, it’s been a good life
So the title of the last episode is from the last line of Outlander when Claire tells Jamie she’s pregnant with Faith I AM FINEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Me too! I cried at their reaction 🥹
Thank you! 🥰
Except Julia’s second child isn’t a Fraser and Maisri knows that 🤔
They’ve been through so much and they deserve it 😭😭😭😭🥰
And @marci33tpwk.bsky.social may be the only other one who’s been following them for years but it’s ok she and I can scream together 😂🥰
AHHHH JESSI AND ALESSIO!!!! 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 Y’all I have never rooted for internet strangers more in my life than those two 😭🥰
Theme park day with the boys! Connor is an adrenaline junkie - got off his first full sized wooden coaster with fists in the air shouting “THAT! WAS! AWESOMEEE!” He rode everything he was tall enough for - coasters, bumpy rides, tilting rides, flying swings, log ride w/plummeting splash. He’s FOUR 😆
Thank you 🥰
He does a great job!
Thank you ☺️
Thank you 🥰
Haircuts for the boys! I love their barber so much, he does a great job working around their quirky hair patterns (C has 3 cowlicks, D’s hair sticks STRAIGHT up 😆) to give it such nice shape!
Yeah I’m absolutely intrigued about them and the role they play — and who that sibling is, if they survive!
So in rewatching the prophecy scene, I’m pretty convinced the two eggs were supposed to be Jamie and Claire. Maisri is careful about what she says and what she lets Lovat say and neither confirms nor denies — but what she DOES say matches J&C! 👀 #BloodOfMyBlood
That’s the (sarcastic but loving) fan theory. 😆
Sam’s reaction to getting a message from Sir Ian McKellen🥹🤏🏽—my two favorite ppl🥰
Seems like at least for now she’s protected by her status as heir carrier but in the next episode all hell could break loose. Aaah!
Idk about the writer of this episode in particular but Matt does!!!! I’m like?? If I knew my child was alone and seemingly orphaned my choice would be crystal clear. But this is potentially also why I’m single LOL I’d never put anyone over my kids
Where did he get this deep foundation of morality that he imparts to Jamie in turn? Not from Simon obviously but Davina isn’t great either?? Is it just wanting to be the polar opposite of his father’s cruelty? His pained beat when he said Simon is worse than the rumors. Oh 🥺😭 I’m becoming obsessed
I’m so, so intrigued by Brian. He’s the one we know the least about, but the few insights of character we’ve seen are so interesting. Questioning why he even exists given his station, going out into the world in search of purpose, returning to protect his ma… there’s so much there! #BloodOfMyBlood
Her voice cadence is an exact match, it’s really impressive.
this received a 10 minute standing ovation from me #BloodofmyBlood
Oooooh 👀🤔
And it was so good!! There was more character building for Brian in those two minutes than all the other episodes combined!!
It’s far and away the best that is not Jamie and Claire!!
Look obviously Lamb did a great job with wee Claire and she turned out just perfect but also… 😭
Absolutely gorgeous
Can’t blame them, I’m a bit in love with Ellen too. She’s so kickass
Ok but this is where my true loyalty comes flaming out because when Ned asked if there was something else Henry could live for my whole chest went “CLAIRE??!! YOUR FIVE YEAR OLD????? The stones are right there dude!!! Go get that poor sad baby!!!” … perhaps… a wee bit biased 😅 #BloodOfMyBlood
I definitely read that as a melancholy “no, never got over it, so I guess do as I say not as I do cause I’m still miserable” 😭
I actually think he must??? Because his father (and Arch Bug) would be all too happy to kill them both but they get away to live happily and not exactly in hiding, so I imagine it’s gotta be Malcolm who tells his father to let her go 🥺 Wonder if this is why Jamie’s middle is Malcolm??
That they were handfast? I’m not surprised, since they kind of “eloped” and that was the way to go about that
Brian and Ellen? Yeah they build Lallybroch, have a couple of kids 😆
“Ruin me” is now up there with “do it now and don’t be gentle” MY GAWWDDDDD😮💨#BloodofmyBlood #OutlanderMidnight
It was perfect! 🙌🏻
Oooooooooh could 120% buy queer Ned!!! Except he was very taken by the harlot at the wedding so maybe bi!Ned 😅 I get far more paternal vibes from him with Ellen than any sort of attraction though.
Share with the class? 👀
I did too!! It kinda felt backwards to me that they’re getting to know one another after they’ve declared undying love but whatever let’s just keep on rolling because whewwww that chemistry!!
They have freakin INCREDIBLE, incendiary chemistry but we need to know why???! At least here they’re actually speaking about their lives and their vulnerabilities. It was great! Where was this all along @ writers room?!!
I feel worse for Malcolm Grant than I expected because he’s actually quite sweet and lovely to her? He and Murtagh should bond over pints tbh. Poor lads. 😩 #BloodOfMyBlood #OutlanderAtMidnight
Unexpectedly emotional moment of the episode goes to our favorite vampire, Ned talking to Henry 🥺 Never saw that coming even with the line from that scene in the trailer! I need his backstory immediately?? What happened, our beloved immortal one?!!! #BloodOfMyBlood
Was it “ruin me”? Cause 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
You know I love me a good pillow talk and I think B&E’s in this episode was phenomenal — I said “finally” out loud 😅 They needed 2-3 other convos like this *prior* to declaring undying love, idk what the writers were thinking, but whatever, glad we got here cause whew they’re HOT 🔥 #BloodOfMyBlood
“Ruin me” #OutlanderAtMidnight #BloodOfMyBlood
Thank you!
Yeah it’s just my longstanding issue with them marketing Jamie as eye candy and Claire as the intellect — first of all, Jamie is just as intellectual, and second of all, Claire is just as much of eye candy!! 😆 *throws hands up in the air*
Yeah but they changed Claaaaaire 😆
My kids love their sleep 😅 D sleeps from 8pm-6:30 am plus a 2 hr nap, and Connor usually sleeps 9pm-7am with an hour and a half nap! Bumped him back to bedtime at the same time as Dalton and hoping that extra hour is sufficient
🥰
He is loving school, but this was the first full day (yesterday was a half day) and that transition to No Nap is gonna be interesting 😅
Big boy school sure is hard work! 😴
😆 thanks
Being a gym teacher is not a slight if your passion is sports/athletics! 😅 My whole point is the continual trend of STARZ marketing focusing on Jamie’s physique as his exclusive draw. If this was a one off I wouldn’t care. Do you not remember the whole “aye candy” campaign? 😬 It’s an ongoing issue.
Yet they changed Claire to science teacher! The theme would match if they changed his too. It’s an ongoing branding problem I have with them marketing Jamie as eye candy and Claire as the intellect. They are both actually both 😆
And before you ask if you have to have a degree to not be dumb, no, I don’t think that either 😂😂
I certainly do not. They have degrees! I think the stereotype that JAMIE is dumb is unfortunately pervasive. And assuming he’d teach gym because he’s physically buff strikes me as ignoring his *actual* passion for linguistics and philosophy
Mmm somehow I doubt that’s what they meant 😆 Jamie is extremely educated and open minded but he’s not a science guy lol. “Wee beasties” 🤣🤣🤣
Latin! Philosophy! HISTORY?? Come onnnn
(I get fired up over dismissing his intellect, don’t mind me. It’s just SO COMMON AND SO UNCALLED FOR???!!!!)
I hate to be THAT PERSON but I’m about to be that person… Jamie would not teach gym. Please. *sighs, pulls up Ted talk once again about how Jamie is not some pretty himbo dumbass, he’s a highly educated polyglot who can offhandedly quote Greek philosophers…* SLIDE ONE… 😆😆😆
If you look up the definition of "cutie patootie", you'll see her face 🥰 (📷: lipstickkelly on IG)
My heart can’t take it 😭
they are the sweetest human beings ever🥹🤍 (🎥:anupampkher insta)
First day was good! He loves his teacher and was excited about finding clues in a book. He says the kids were nice too! ☺️
Thank you! 🥰
Crazy, isn’t?! He’s almost five 😭
Thank you! He’ll be here for the next seven years. 🥹
Of course! Yeah he couldn’t wait to go!!
Thank you!
Thanks! 🥰
