First time reading this article. If I was drinking something I would have done a spit take.

Umm...Sam you just described Cait, yes?

[ashmarie1687]

Once more around now that I’ve found a gif that actually shows Sam saying this. Refer to the yellow highlights.

In Caitriona, Sam found his true soul mate...someone who understands him, supports him, stands beside him and loves him with all her heart, body, mind and soul. In Sam, Caitriona found her true north, her foundation, her home, heart and her soul mate. Sometimes the stars alignments are perfect...♥️

Now this was when Sam and Caitriona were exciting to watch and read!

[mrsfraserheughan]

Kate Hahn interviewing Sam about what he watches on tv. He answers, reality shows.

SAM : I watch 90 Day Fiancé and Selling Sunset

KATE: Cait has told me she loves all the Real Housewives franchises.  So you guys---....(oops, shit! I almost gave it away that you guys watch reality shows together, in the home you share. You watch tv in the bedroom, while sitting in the bed you share every night right before you have hot kinky Heughan sex.)

We already know the truth and we love it! We adore you more for it! Better together, so come out of hiding already!

Good morning Sassenachs and Highlanders! From my Fb memories of July 25, 2021 - Sam’s favorite photo.

Sam singling out again his supposedly platonic co-star out of the cast and calling her “sublime”  and in the next sentence a nagger? Ok, typical complaining Hubs, got your drift!

[themusicsweetly]

Hi! Could you do a top 10 these goobers love each other moments divided in a top 5 Cait moments and top 5 Sam moments? I woke up today missing their cute moments...

Hello there, Anon! Thanks for the ask!

Seriously, I love this ask so much. I was telling my GC that it’s asks like these that make me not regret keeping my inbox open, so thanks for that 😄

But also. This was a difficult question LOL. There are just so many little moments that I love and that I think show their Goobery Love™ so it’s hard to pinpoint just 5 for each. But hopefully you enjoy these moments I did pick and that it satisfies your cute moments craving! I know it certainly did mine 😊

5 Caitriona Moments (numbered, but not ranked)

1) The Look of Adoration. I’ve said before that this Fresno Bee vid is one of the very first ones I watched of them and it’s also the one that gave me pause because of the heart eyes Caitriona Mary Balfe is throwing at Sam Roland Heughan. Just look at that. She always listens to him so intently and with so much clear adoration and even after 6 years together and many of the same things said over and over again she’s still as invested in what he says as she has been from the beginning. 

2) The Origin Story. Whenever Caitriona talks about their chemistry test, she always emphasizes how good Sam made her feel and how instantaneously comfortable she felt with him. That connection and bond is so very evident when you watch the test video. This SAG interview always was very telling to me and has stuck in my mind for years since:

“I walked in and Sam was just this calm center in the room and there was zero posturing and zero ego. And I remember we just immediately started chatting about Scotland and I had friends who lived there. It was just like an old friend… I think we have a similar approach to life and we have a similar approach to acting. It just works… Sometimes you just get lucky. Sometimes the stars align.”

3) The Look of Pride. ECCC 2017 was a GEM. There were so many absolutely fantastic moments and it was just so much fun for everyone, both attending and at home watching. Honestly, I think it might be one of the best Cons they’ve done. But the one moment that makes this list is when Sam was asked about MPC and he began describing what the program has accomplished thus far. She looked so incredibly proud of all of it and so ridiculously proud of that man, just as the President and Founder of the SRH Fan Club always is.

4) Cheer Squad. This is one of my favorite SamCait photos and moments of all time. The fact that Caitriona just sat outside with a homemade sign around her neck waiting for Sam to pass by during his LA Marathon run makes me emo, y’all. And I think it’s even more telling that she later tried to brush it off as her just rolling out of bed and going outside to greet him. The only part of that story I believe is the croissant LOL xD I’ll throw every single one my pennies to the person who can get me a pic of her sign that day!

5) The Good One. “He’s a good man.” “He’s perfect.” “I admire Sam’s big heart.” For as much teasing as she does (they both do, really) there’s endless amounts of praise and compliments she has about this man. There is no one who has more confidence, more faith, or more support for him than she does. But of course, gotta take the piss outta him to keep him grounded 😂💜

5 Sam Moments (numbered, but not ranked)

1) “To dress Caitriona is not difficult, she looks great in virtually everything.” I love the fact that he said this, but I love even more the proof of his believe in this statement even more! We see this all the time, from BAFTA last year to the Season 1 premiere to this Golden Globe moments, which is another favorite SamCait pic for me. To make an internationally successful, highly sought after model look as if this is the first person to every pay her a compliment? HEART. EYES.

2) FvF’s Freelance Marketer. Who needs a PR department when you have Sam plugging FvF basically any chance he can get?? Not just all the likes and RTs, and comments, but the fact that he took the opportunity to talk about FvF when he was asked unrelated questions about himself. His pride in that woman shines through every single time.

3) Best Dressed. If Caitriona’s chemistry test story always features her “calm center” impression, then Sam’s always features Caitriona’s dress. What an impression she must have made on him walking in and blowing them all away if he remembers the plaid dress she was wearing that day! Magic, literally right from the very first second.

4) Home Away From Home. I just found this comment so sincere and sweet. Caitriona has often talked about being like a vagabond, mostly living out of her suitcase when she was modelling and then when she first started Outlander with very little notice. So to come to this point after all these years where they both feel like she’s found a home in Scotland is just so beautiful. Bonus points for the hand pat + squeeze!!

5) Laughter is the Best Medicine. If ECCC was their best Con, then this FB Q+A might be their best interview ever 😂😂😂 I only meant to watch this one part so I could make this GIF, but ended up watching all 15 minutes instead LOL. Anyway. This moment has always been on of my favorite parts of the entire Q+A. Not only is Caitriona ADORABLE here, but Sam being so concerned over something so small is just touching to see! He basically checks with her 4 times to make sure she’s alright. But at the same time, he obviously is doing what he loves doing best: making sure she stays laughing! The fact that he loves seeing her smile, hearing her laugh, and making sure she’s doing both as often as he can is my favorite thing about him. Periodt. 

Thanks again for the ask, Anon! This was fun 💜💜💜

[auburncurlslass]

This is a very telling post, which I believe needs reblogging.   If they were going to ‘act’ as a couple during the initial onset of Outlander, the Cons, the interviews, etc.   It could be done…..but….what could not be done was showing Sam or Caitriona with another ‘GF or BF’.  Those pictures told the truth and nothing but the truth. They’re actors….and are trained to ‘act’ in love with another person.  Caitriona looks like she needs the ‘puke bucket’ when standing anywhere near Tony and Sam looks like he wants to ‘run and hide’ when poised next to the ‘flavor of the month, week or day’.  I don’t think even the best of the best actor could pull off ‘adoration’ when standing next to a ‘forced, faux’ relationship.  Now, if fans don’t see what many of us here have seen, it’s not because it’s not there, it’s because they chose not to see what’s in front of them or in a photo.  We’re not teeny boppers looking at hottie’s in Teen Fling…we’re adults, who see when two individuals are really ‘in love and very in…to…each…other!’  If you don’t agree, then please show me a photo that shows Sam with a woman, looking at her, like he does gazing at Caitriona or vice versa.  Doubt you find even one in ALL the photos on any search engine!

[themusicsweetly]

Is sam heughan and caitriona balfe good friends other than being work friends ?

Oh, hi there Anon! I’m guessing you’re the same one that popped up in @cb4tb‘s inbox last night. Thanks for dropping by here, too… While her answer did tickle me, I’mma just say this:

Decide for yourself, Anon… 😊

So here is Cait remarking that she doesn’t get recognized by fans when she’s out and about with Sam in her day to day, outside of work life. which is really an admission that she is going about with Sam in her day to day, outside of work life…

And OMG that “you always look glamorous” from Sam….When a guy finds you attractive even in everyday clothes and no make up those are the words of a partner in love, not of just a friend

Mutual Adoration Society - Sam and Caitriona (not C and T)

They exchange dreamy, bedroom, happy, smiley heart eyes. She is starry eyed and looking at his handsome countenance with obvious love and admiration that never would I believe that she would prefer T over this loving, gentle, multi-talented, hard working man who in turn looks at her with pure adoration and worships the ground she walks on.
