The Albatross

Sam. Cait. TPTB. You win. I'm done trying to chase clues and innuendo, receipts and meaningful looks. You don't want to be seen. Got it. I no longer care.

I'm going out on a limb here and expressing my gratitude for arabellainthsky for stealing a Harry Styles fic. I was so emotionally invested in the fic that I tracked down the original, read it and then read the rest of mysterymixtapes works.

Three fics later, I finally did a search on Harry Styles, discovered Larry Stylinson and found my fandom. The fandom that has such a huge pile of proofs it makes all of the receipts for SC look like the delusional ravings of a madman. My God. I am gobsmacked by how much Harry and Louis want us to see.

That is the crux of the matter. Harry & Louis (Larry) want to be seen. SC do not. Fine. I'll go where I'm wanted.

Sam. Cait. It was fun while it lasted and I made incredible, life-long friends that mean the world to me, but you no longer have the same appeal. I still believe you are together but the extent you are willing to sacrifice your character makes my respect for you dwindle. So, I'm going while I still care about Jamie and Claire, before you ruin that for me, too.

For those that follow this blog and want to see what this Larry Stylinson business is about, my other Tumblr is pissoff-wanker

YOU PUT THE BOOM BOOM INTO MY HEART

Harry's been trying all summer to come up with a way to show Louis how much he means to him before he leaves for college.

Or five times Harry fails to win Wham! tickets and one time he succeeds.

albatrosses will wipe the floor with any species of bird you choose to compare them to. they’re the Most, or at least Extremely, by almost every metric

[caesarsaladinn]

wingspan. lifespan. intricacy of mating dances. devotion to monogamy. investment in offspring. ability to circumnavigate the globe. literary symbolism that is flexible but not to the point of meaninglessness. eyeliner quality. I could go on

This is Wisdom. She’s at least 71 years old. In the photo is one of her chicks, that she had at age 69. Her last chick was hatched in 2021, though she hasn’t bred for the last two years since her mate has disappeared.

She has flown an estimated 3,000,000 miles since 1956

Happy birthday to the author of my favorite comfort fic, Say Something! I hope you have an amazing day, @kingsofeverything !!

Easiest HARD PASS ever:

Pictured above are SamCait things I have supported in the past or was about to.

No longer.

As of 18 August 2021, my SC interest is in their involvement with OL ... and only OL.

Congrats to Cait on the birth of her (most recent) child. Mazels. Good things.

I've seen too much, collected too many receipts, downloaded too many photos, to believe that this is her/THEIR first child.

I'm not gonna run them down for you here. They exist, as do their first 3 children.

I have scrolled through my collection at length today and I find myself utterly appalled at SC and their brazen, unmistakable lack of integrity.

You do not get to pick which child's birth to announce because there are Oscar rumors in front of your upcoming movie and Being A Mom is suddenly the right career move.

You do not get to post a nearly-naked photo to look like the single, hot fitness guy the day before the birth of a child you have the dick to make but not the balls to claim.

You do not leave the fandom and the press to connect the dots for you and name the alleged husband and father because you won't be pinned down one day by your own lie.

You do not let your buddy knowingly name a false father for your child because he now has a vested financial interest in your narrative too.

___________________________________________

I'm done until you clean up your mess and face the music.

I have played along, looked the other way, and put up with some really shady instances where you've both shown your asses... but I'm done pretending you're clothed.

So go Outlander. Finish strong. I'll reevaluate my opinions of you and my financial support of you once it's over... I assume that's when you'll magically turn into adults.

____________________________________________

Oh, and what of my RPF fics?

They will continue, because if you two can't admit that you're fucking -- let alone sharing a life together -- then I'm gonna do it for you.

___________________________________________

Final thoughts:

I block antis after I thoroughly eviscerated them. Consider yourself warned.

My bullshit threshold is extremely low lately, as I am now 7 days past swabbing positive for COVID for the 2nd time this pandemic, even being fully vaxxed.

I no longer care what non-frat contract clause may exist that is keeping things this way, because they have tacitly endorsed it too many times.

______________________________

All the career perks in the world won't buy you class.

You either have it or you don't.

My money is off the table.

I earned it.

You haven't.

caitrionabalfe I’ve been off socials for a while as I was taking some time to enjoy cooking up this little human …. We are so grateful for this little soul ….that he chose us as his parents. I’m in awe of him already and can’t help stare and wonder at all the possibilities of who he will become, where he will go and what he’ll do on the big adventure of his life. Right now he seems so small and fragile and I constantly think how grateful I am that I live in a place, in a time where he is born into peace and safety and yet at the same time I see so many in the world right now that aren’t afforded that same privilege and opportunity … who are born into famine or war and how unjust it is that the same safety isn’t there for all children. Here in the west we have so much, we are so lucky and so if you’d like to join me in supporting any of the wonderful charities that need help trying to give those that are forgotten dignity and hope, we can give the gift of peace and safety and opportunity to a few more children …💙

A fresh breath to this world! Congratulations Caitriona!!!

We are so grateful for this little soul ….that he chose us as his parents?????

[auburncurlslass]

Caitriona conveniently chose not to name this baby boy’s father….the game is over, it’s time to come clean with a name Ms Balfe, at least for the sake of the baby!  What a mess, what a shame.

[mrsd79]

What a lack of honesty and a huge lack of class.

[findingweeherbs]

Here you go all you Cait and Tony congratulators…Lol ..credit to @lovelycat74 for the screen shot of Sam’s bedtime reading.♥️ I do believe we have matching sheets and that’s Sam’s hand in the baby’s fingers.♥️

[albatross1013]

Those moons on the thumb nails look very similar.

[albatross1013]

On second thought... Now that I have a better comparison, I retract my earlier statement. I think that is C's hand with the baby.

@an-gaol-seo-ol thanks for finding a great pic of C's thumb to compare! 😘

Congrats to Sam and Cait on the birth of Number 4. Strange she hasn’t hidden this little Boo. I hope this is a sign that she is moving towards claiming her other children as well. They certainly deserve that too. How liberating it must be for her to finally be honest about her motherhood. Heartbreaking she’s been able to enjoy that while Daddy Sam remains unable to join with her in it.

Here’s to more Sam/Cait honesty and freedom. A step in the right direction at long last perhaps??? 😍😍😍😍

[dillon7fan-deactivated20250108]

@diggsydogsquee here’s look like same sheet/blanket as Sam bedtime reading thanks @samcait-love ❤️

[dillon7fan-deactivated20250108]

Correction thanks @lovelycat74 for screenshot Sam bedtime reading ❤️

[diggsydogsquee-deactivated20250]

Ahhhh and there it is!!! @odessa-2 the sheet!!! Under his hand is the same striped sheet in Cait’s new Boo announcement!!! 😂🤓 Thank you @dillon7fan you little beauty!!! BOOM!

Mini Musings on Mini People

I’m about to go into a ton of meetings so I will make this note now to avoid having to answer individual anons at the end of the day.

First and foremost, I’m going to focus on what’s important in life.  And that’s to congratulate Cait. 

Having a baby is never without medical risk

Having a baby at 41 is considered high risk

Having a baby at 41 during a pandemic has to be of highest risk

Being pregnant at 41 during a pandemic while you can’t just stay home but you had to work with groups of people had to be frightening as hell.

So, I wish her, her little boy and his father (who I don’t believe is the unemployed one) nothing but joy and happiness and good sleep if you can get it.  Being a mom is the greatest thing in the world.

For those who are confused, all I will say for now is something that has stuck in my mind as I am reading Lt Colonel Alexander Vindman’s book in the last week.  He was taught this in the military but said it has served him well in recognizing truth, risk and lies.

“Look for the absence of normal and the presence of abnormal.” 

[albatross1013]

#that quote #truth

[audramh]

Just to be clear:

Was thinking that Cait looked pregnant here... body shaming? 🤔

She was.

Who are you going to call when you want to promote something? What a surprise.

“They want to control their story, but they also want to make sure that the public is interested in any news they have or are generating outside their social channels, because not everyone is on every social media platform. There are those stars that understand the power of the press.”

https://www.rollingstone.com/pro/features/celebrity-fake-candids-paparazzi-1210203/

Well would you look at that. Celebrities and their PR teams call paparazzi all the time. 😱 Shocked. Shocked, I tell you!

“They want to control their story, but they also want to make sure that the public is interested in any news they have or are generating outside their social channels, because not everyone is on every social media platform. There are those stars that understand the power of the press.”

But social media has turned the pap-celeb relationship from one of contention to collaboration. Now, celebrities control their own narratives — they readily offer bikini bodies and makeup-free selfies from their own cameras, which are devoured by fans despite the digital nip-tucks — and call photographers like Diggs to stop by at their own whims.

[…]

Still, Taylor notes that there’s a degree of playing ball with celebrities’ teams, to maintain one’s access. “Oftentimes paparazzi will allow for approval on images before releasing them in order to gain trust and access long-term,” she says.

[…]

Removing an unbecoming photograph from the Internet can be as arduous a process as securing it to begin with. Church says he knows of professional teams working the Google algorithm to “bury” one image and push forth another, circulating preferred pictures to fan pages and using specific hashtags. Alternatively, adds Taylor, you can claim copyright infringement, try to trade, or simply “call editors and beg.”

Much of the business, says Wert, comes down to “just asking nicely.” Trust between all parties is paramount. And good behavior is rewarded. For example, photographers have learned to respect boundaries when it comes to children, or unpolished appearances. In return, celebrities deliver paparazzi the “sunshine factor” — eye contact or a smile — which wins over editors.
