Outlander actors ‘perhaps forced’ to do nude scenes, Sam Heughan says

"It was always a negotiation but it wasn't particularly a nice one."

Outlander star Sam Heughan has said actors on the programme were "perhaps forced" into filming nude scenes.

Speaking during an on-stage conversation with fellow Scottish actor Alan Cumming, Heughan discussed the early years of the hit historical drama.

He said that naked scenes were "always a negotiation" with the show's team and "it wasn't particularly a nice one".

Asked by Cumming whether the show had intimacy co-ordinators, Heughan said: "We didn't and we were very much left to our own devices.

"In fact, dare I say, even perhaps forced to do nudity when we were not particularly happy about it.

"It was always a negotiation but it wasn't particularly a nice one."

The 46-year-old, who played Jamie Fraser in the long-running series, said the television industry had fewer guidelines and protection during the early days of Outlander, which began in 2014.

Speaking at the Pitlochry Festival Theatre event, he said there was an intimacy co-ordinator during the later parts of the show, which he described as "great protection" for actors.

Cumming told the audience in the Highlands that in previous years "some lines have been crossed" by actors during intimate scenes.

Speaking about his own experience as a younger actor, Heughan said performers often asked to remove their clothing.

He said: "I remember starting out as an actor and sort of going for auditions, and they'd be like, 'Right, OK, take your top off now', and it was awful, or you're kissing someone you've just met in an audition.

"I promise you, it's not like that anymore. It was just a different time."

The Scot spoke about a scene in Outlander in which his character is raped, which he said was the most challenging scene in his career.

He told the crowd: "It was challenging and I remember it was many days (filming) because it was a really long scene.

"He (Jamie) was captured and tortured and then raped. It was horrific to do but I suppose these are the stories that also, if treated well and done with respect, can be also revealing or helpful in some ways.

"It's hard. I think the industry's totally changed."

Sony Pictures Television, which produces Outlander, has been approached for comment.

A Dawning

It's refreshing and heartwarming to see friendship endures against all odds and beyond life and death itself:

Three little white hearts from Madam Mao - which I am not posting, but they are there - and then back she went to her own mercantile shenanigans. It's a bit underwhelming - and yes, grief is personal, but in her case it's a scrubbing operation and then moving on without a single qualm in the world. Manufactured shitshow? Who gives a damn, if that equates to remaining somehow relevant and cashing in, in the process?

I believe this is what a textbook sociopath looks like.

PS: gracias a ti, siempre.

Outlander star Sam Heughan played a major role in the Commonwealth Games opening ceremony at Glasgow’s Hydro on Thursday night. Heughan shared the stage with an animatronic Loch Ness monster, and also provided music at the neighbouring SEC Armadillo.

Questionable

Because the MPC Gala and the Commonwealth Games are just around the corner, Madam Mao had to somehow chime in, with a seemingly personal and heartfelt message to her Mommie fans.

I will post only the text and the reference of the post. I am not giving her more air than necessary:

How wise. How compassionate. How deep.

If only that was personal. Because this is what is implied when someone says things like - 'a little thought that's been sitting with me'. Isn't it?

Alas, it is not. The core message of this post comes from two different sources she combined, adding her two-pence animal behavior observations.

Exhibit One:

Exhibit Two:

[Source: gaeilgeoirguides' IG account - posted November 2, 2025]

Plagiarism has many faces. It can be a straight copy/paste or a more or less refined adaptation of an idea. Acknowledging someone else's work as inspiration or using the appropriate quoting brackets hasn't killed anyone - oh, well, perhaps a misplaced ego, such as Madam Mao's. It is the basic, courteous and urbane thing to do. Always and irrespective of anything else.

Does she think we are such imbeciles, unable to tell? Or is this second nature to her?

Pádraig Ó Tuama, the mysterious P.O. Tuama identified by the Canadian Facebook page, is a well known Irish poet - who incidentally hails from Cork -, a theologian, a gay activist, a conflict mediator and a Yale Divinity School faculty member. He deserved to be acknowledged both by Madam Mao and the other influencer I posted above. An influencer who failed to do so, but ended up being plagiarized by our Horse Whisperer Extraordinaire - karma being, as often, a retributive bitch.

There is no way in hell this woman would have ever been, even remotely, involved into anything related to research, at an academic level.

I have no words.

The horny grannies (and non-grannies) did it! Or did they?

“To bed — or to sleep?” Jamie asked. “To act — or to make drinks?” This may have been S’s dilemma at one point. It’d be fair to say that the latter has been winning. An embryonic idea, it may have gained traction after filming S3. The S that answered interview questions upon returning from filming S3 in SA was a very different public S. It was a pissed-off S who had had it. And this, of course, must encompass the personal and the professional — a series of intertwined circumstances that led him to do what he could to take control of his life. But how did we get here? How did we get to the here and now where S’s acting career does not seem to have many prospects but his partner-in-crime costar’s does? For starters, C attaches herself to projects with A-list leads where she plays supporting roles. While she’s very attractive, her appearance is subdued. She can disappear in a role without taking any attention away from the lead actor or the storyline. There aren’t many worthwhile supporting roles for a tall striking male actor who’s already led a successful 8-season series but achieved no significant industry recognition. Likewise, he has too much exposure and too little star power to be the lead in important projects; and he’s too old to be the next Thor. Starz, RDM, politics, “horny grannies,” whatever — they all set him up to do what he’s doing now. It all started with the seemingly harmless female gaze marketing: Empowered modern career woman with magical powers meets hot stable boy/warrior from the past with magical dick. She was promoted for awards; he was not. Simple as that. He was downgraded to a beefcake from the start because, apparently, female audiences are not expected to walk and chew gum. He would bring in the cash; she, the prestige. It was a setup. S did outstanding acting in the first few OL seasons and yet he got no recognition. The industry ignored him. Where to go from there? He must’ve figured, “If not now, when?” All he could count on was the crazed, unconditional fervor of his committed female following. When life gives you lemons, make lemonade — in this case, alcohol, merchandise, fan events. A significant segment of the audience turned him into something that was beyond his control. And then he became it. He turned being the object of desire into a business. A Taurus boy, he has an earthly relationship with money. He was not going to let lemons go to waste. The other side of it is that you can’t be a serious actor or be taken seriously when you spend much of your time and energy promoting your side business, which you deem your passion project. The craft of acting requires a focused mind, and he’s all over the place with business pursuits.

An exceptional filmmaker, some day (hopefully sooner rather than later), may discover OL and fall in love with S’s subtle, deep, sensual, vulnerable, honest, visceral and arresting performances. And S may just be whom they were hoping to find for the leading part in their stellar project. But life goes on. It doesn't have to be like you once imagined or other people imagined for you. If you can't have what you love, love what you have — as the saying goes. (In the words of 17th century Comte de Bussy, “Quand on n'a pas ce que l'on aime, il faut aimer ce que l'on a.”) I believe that’s called growth.

One of the best posts I have read this year. Thank you for this honest analysis. It will surely make some cringe, but this is elegantly telling it how it probably is.

[hopelostinmemories]

Warning: Magical Sarcasm Ahead 🦄

At the time this piqued my interest, and in all the hoopla following the Rankin wedding, I don’t remember anyone talking about it. If they did, please forgive me as I was new and still in my lurking stage and I may have missed it.

Either way, let’s take a walk down memory lane to one year ago, as I would like to draw attention to this sweet exchange between C and Tim:

IG 🎥 Tim Downie, July 14, 2025

I’m sure when Tim says “you both” the other half of the pairing he’s referring to is the jack of all trades and future Airbnb mega-host and not his good friend of 15+ years.

I just know that during his 7-episode arc as Governor Tryon throughout seasons 4 and 5 of Outlander, his limited screen time as a recurring character must have given him ample time to befriend a man who didn’t appear to live in Scotland full-time.

He definitely wasn’t referring to the man who he went to see play Macbeth months later and claimed how ridiculously proud of him he was. No. It definitely wasn’t the man who since 2019 has appeared frequently on his personal Instagram grid.

IG 🎥 Tim Downie, Various Posts 2019-2025

It most definitely was that shy other man. He must be the one with the big appetite.

So to further celebrate Tim's birthday this year, I've included the series of adverts for Tennent’s Lager that first aired on June 17, 2010 and then the last one on May 30, 2012. You know, the ones with his friend.

[ellenmillpe]

I’d like to see what you look like. Since you’re so quick to judge other people. I bet you spend all day sitting on the sofa with that fat bum, eating biscuits and chocolate whilst judging how other people look

At no time have I judged Mr. SH's physicist, on the contrary, have I said that he has a physical figure achieved with effort and constancy. What I have judged is his outfit, which is a very different thing. But you, who accuse me of something I haven't done, right away do that to me. Maybe you're the fat one eating shitty food on a couch and dreaming and defending a guy who probably didn't even look at your face, or maybe you are one of his mums who are signed up for his fitness program in the hope that he'll wink an eye at you and you can get a climax in your underwear.

I know how to insult people too. On the contrary, I like to be kind and calm and discuss people's different points of view. So the next time you want to defend Mr. SH from something I've written, if you want to do it do it without insulting and if you can't go to hell. Yes, to the hell but with kindness.

[ellenmillpe]

WHAT IMAGE DO YOU INTEND TO PROJECT?...WHAT I SEE

In recent days we have received multiple images and videos promoting events of sporting activities in which SH is involved.

I don't know to what extent he has a stylist telling him what to wear for these jobs, or if he decides for himself. Physically, he looks...okay. I don't think he's at his best, but stress, age (we're all getting older), and some rather surreal situations (we'll leave it at that) probably don't help.

First we received the photos and videos of the girls from the netball team. Well, the first thing that caught my attention was:

Why would someone who's going to film a sports ad, and therefore playing netball, wear all that jewelry? Have you seen any of the girls wearing it? No, right? If you take off your jacket to play, why not take off all the accessories you're wearing? It's not that hard, you just take them off and put them in your jacket pocket, and when you're done, if you feel naked without them, you can put them back on. I don't understand the outfit either. SH is supposed to be very sportif, and he's going to film an ad playing sports in tight jeans? We could use the excuse that he'd just finished filming other things (he did the DJ video the same day, or at least he's wearing the same clothes), but it's as simple as throwing sweatpants in a backpack. For God's sake, it was filmed in a sports complex with changing rooms.

The result, I don't know if it was the intention, but my impression is that he looks somewhat clumsy. I understand that catching and throwing a ball forcefully and quickly with all that jewelry on his fingers can be a bit difficult since it reduces his grip, but it's more than that. Considering that he always says he loves playing sports, I think team sports aren't his thing... and it shows.

What I'm trying to say with all this is the following: What image is he trying to project by wearing all that?

Is he trying to look younger? He doesn't look it.

More modern? Not really, it borders on tacky.

Sexier? No way. Being sexy is about attitude, not what you show or reveal. You can show a lot and not be sexy at all.

Attracting younger people to him? I don't think that's going to happen. The people who followed him from the beginning when he was younger were already older. Now he's older, and I don't think he's the prototype for 20- or 30-year-olds right now, with so many younger actors at the height of their careers.

Heterosexual? Sometimes, the opposite. In fact, he has a matching tattoo with Luke Evans, and all that jewelry, combined with the occasional effeminate gesture, creates the opposite effect.

Is it anxiety? Some people wear rings to touch them in public to minimize their anxiety. He's wearing more and more so, does that suggest that his anxiety levels have increased?

Has he discovered that this is his style? Then why does he look from the outside as if he's in costume? Why does he look like someone trying to squeeze into shoes that aren't his and therefore don't fit?

Many questions and no definitive answers, but the feeling is that there's a person he's not being, and therefore what he's showing us is an image for consumption. So every time he wants to sell us something else, he'll add more things, more accessories… where do we draw the line? (It sounds like a joke, that wasn't my intention. We all know where he draws the line.)

Then the rugby team kit photos appeared, and I noticed that the arthritis bracelet wasn't in them, and in some of the photos, the watch wasn't there either. Did they tell him to take it off? So, were they told to take off the bracelet from the beginning?

I didn't understand the outfit either. Are you going to take photos in a sports shirt and leave another one underneath? Didn't they give you one for yourself, so you had to wear it over the other and thus be able to return it?

Why wear boots for a sportswear campaign? Were these photos taken on the same day as the Borders Book Festival (where he was already wearing the infamous wristband), since the clothes are the same? Or has SH had to repeat his outfit so much in the last month due to a lack of options, since he left most of his clothes in his usual place of residence (London, despite how much he tries to promote that he lives in Scotland)?

Is it because they decided that you're SH impersonating Finn Russell and it should be obvious that you're not a player, so they left you with another set of clothes underneath? If so, I don't get it at all, to be honest.

I don't know if this is normal in these cases, but my feeling is that there are things that are not organized or taken care of in detail, and this matters when it comes to image.

Mental image in reflection (imagination is very powerful)...

First of all, I want to apologize to whoever is involved if he’s offended, which isn't my intention. So, SH, my apologies (although if you found out you probably wouldn't give a damn).

I know that developing upper body muscles like you have requires effort and constancy, but didn't you learn anything after so many years with stylists around you and a top model as a partner?🤷‍♀️. With those tight pants and the sleeveless top that visually widens your upper body....the image that came to my mind was:

And now following...... goats!!!!🐐

The parasite problem you have is becoming worrying.

Jean Jackets & Glasgow (Mind)Games

Due to more videos and pictures being released with S and his ambassadorship with the Glasgow Commonwealth Games, I decided to reignite my search for any details on when this content was filmed. It’s been driving me slightly crazy, but I’m here to tell you - I have succeeded!

As a reminder, I detailed the first appearance of the infamous jean jacket in my ‘Ride the Gallo-way’ post.

We first got the video of Sam in Glasgow talking to Bulgarian fans about Graham and Clanlands on June 19th.

From Graham’s Instagram we know the event was on the same day and perhaps I should have done more diligence the first time around to notice this date.

Then on Monday, June 22nd we got the first post from S about his new DJ venture at the Para Powerlifting event which is scheduled to take place on July 24th.

IG 📸 Glasgow 2026

So common sense would suggest that the all of this content was created sometime between these dates or slightly before. Unless of course S decided to wear the same outfit more than once and record over the course of a few days. He did not. We know the weekend is out due to the infamous motorcycle ride. And filming all of this on the Friday before, would be a super tight schedule.

But before I go any further let’s clear up some loose ends.

On the same Friday, MN posted an Instagram Story that he was at Laboratorio Espresso. In the Bulgarian fan video S is featured across the street from The Hair Club in Glasgow which is about a 10 minute drive or 15 minute walk away.

IG 📸 Matt Neal

However, I’m not sure if MN’s story was a latergram or in real time, and I doubt we’ll ever know but S was not across from The Hair Club on the 19th - at least not in those clothes.

My main goal of this post was to find the location of the DJ video and I received some help from the Glasgow Times.

Glasgow Times: Sam Heughan confirmed as DJ for Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games event

As you can see in the bottom of this photo, the photographer is Craig Watson. He is a sports snd corporate photographer who - shockingly - has taken most of the promotional photos for the Glasgow Commonwealth Games. And on his portfolio website you can find a number of different galleries.

First, here is the DJ photo gallery slideshow which I have linked, as I will not post his watermarked and copyrighted photographs. The content itself however, was filmed at SíSí Rooftop Mexican Restaurant - which is actually a 14 minute walk away from Laboratorio Espresso and a 3 minute walk away from The Hair Club - just for those keeping track.

If you actually go to the official gallery aptly called ‘‪Sam Heughan DJ-ing’ you will see in the details that the photographs and video were taken on Thursday, June 18th. ‬

‪

There is also a second gallery with the slideshow here called ‘‬Sam Heughan Netball’. The netball content was filmed at the Glasgow International Arena which we know from this video and was also filmed on the same day.

From this gallery you will further see photographs that show the location for this video at the indoor athletics track - also at the Glasgow International Arena.

IG 🎥 Glasgow 2026

If you’ve made it this far, congrats!

So what does all this mean? Originally I had all of this occurring on the Friday, but in hindsight with travel to Galloway etc. the timeline would have been too tight. But I was only a day early.

Furthermore, perhaps in another life I was a detective, and I don’t know if I should be impressed or concerned with my skills. I will now anxiously await to see if anymore new content comes out. We’re weeks away, so seems likely. And to sum it all up, it’s very clear the Thursday before the Ride Galloway weekend was VERY busy. Make of that what you will.

If anyone wants to be reminded what a GENUINE PROFESSIONAL business involving healing with horses looks like then the account unbridling_the_soul on Instagram is it.

Genuine posts with horses, not selfies and the ladies face constantly in view

Genuine posts with actual information

Genuine posts with actual footage of what goes on

A real address to know where it is

A proper link to her services and contact phone number and ways of booking

This woman runs a professional business and service and has only 1411 followers and been doing it for years and yet another Instagram acc with no credentials, website, booking info, location or way to contact or any evidence of actually working has almost 4000 followers. I wonder why that is

[maximumwobblerbanditdonut]

What sort of motorcyclist is SH, then, and whatever possessed him to choose that particular type of guest?

Cue "Sweet Emotion" by Aerosmith—that iconic 1975 hard rock anthem born entirely out of tension and interpersonal loathing. Perhaps that is SH’s own vibe right now: a bit of toxic tension bubbling away beneath the surface. It appears he is navigating a rather delicate situation regarding personal boundaries, self-worth, and relationship dynamics. Deciding whether to accept someone's glaring limitations or live in hope that they might change can be deeply tedious 😵‍💫

It’s time to grow up, surely? An antlered moose. Seriously? Did a certain animal choose motorbike, and he tagging it for a laugh? Or perhaps the "sweet emotion" of a ride through Gallo-way—which included the animal beside him. If so, the man has a sense of humour. It was all a bit of a "pinch-me" moment.

Naturally, this is a textbook sunk-cost fallacy. The longer SH lingers in this "randy adventure", the harder it becomes to make a graceful exit. He will likely cling even tighter to his position and swallow his own fabrications. After all, admitting the truth would mean acknowledging that the time, effort, and resources he has already squandered were an utter waste.

Forward-mounted pegs allow a beginner to stretch their legs. Granted, mastering tight cornering takes a bit of practice—a fact that, predictably, completely eluded her.

SH’s guest is clearly struggling with a specific manoeuvre—one absolutely vital for basic motorcycle control and safety—yet he remains blissfully unaware, offering zero correction. Precisely when he ought to be passing on seasoned riding tips to his companion, he chooses instead to behave like an overgrown child. Forward-mounted pegs supposedly allow a beginner to stretch their legs with ease, though mastering a tight corner requires actual practice. Or is "mastering tight corners" simply another fictional skill she claims to possess, and he foolishly swallows whole?

In all likelihood, he is well aware of her distinct lack of skill and simply chooses to look the other way. If he possessed an ounce of sense—which is highly debatable—he would wait until she demonstrates something resembling solid proficiency. One mistakenly thought he had a sharper mind and slightly better judgment.

He could offer his guest some advice on riding style. But, as always, that’s rather pointless when he doesn’t know much about it himself. Why doesn't he announce the final leg of the route where his guest disappeared in a photo? The motto here is simple: motorcyclists ride out together and arrive together, without acting like a bunch of muppets over the weekend.

[lallybroch-pr-watch]

A thought that crossed my mind today, after several bloggers pointed out, rightly, that if it weren’t for Steph’s existence and our collective frustration with her here, we wouldn’t really have much to talk about when it comes to Sam.

Every time another tiny piece of the game drops, whether from them directly or through their favorite blogger, the whole fandom jumps to attention. And yes, most of it is mockery, frustration, and second-hand embarrassment, but still. Traffic is traffic. Bad publicity is still publicity.

And that’s the sad part, because you can see the engagement slowly fading. Not all at once, but in little drops. Tumblr has become pretty boring. Sam is basically in permanent sales mode, and aside from gossip, there isn’t much to discuss. Caitriona only really pops up when she has a new project to promote, and it works for her. She doesn’t need an army of fans constantly maintaining her business for her.

It feels like Sam may be heading down a road many male leads from long-running shows have walked before, especially the ones who were part of a major romantic pairing. They start as heartthrobs, with tons of female fans and far more attention than the actresses beside them. Then the show ends, the slow fade begins, and you blink. Suddenly twenty years have passed, and their career is mostly small projects that keep a reduced fanbase alive, living off the nostalgia of the one role that made them famous, going from convention to convention, while the actress beside them is collecting awards and booking better roles.

And while that may work for some of those actors, and maybe it’s enough for them, Sam has built a very expensive little empire that is supposed to be funded by that same fanbase. But he isn’t doing much to expand his audience. Not through different acting roles, not through his alcohol business, not through his books. He has put all his eggs in one basket.

So maybe that explains, in some way, these pathetic attempts to revive a sleepy fandom.

Or maybe not.

But I can think of a lot of better ways to create interest in a fandom that is already starting to look for new things to obsess over, instead of alienating the people who are still here.

"In essence"

Never a justification......ALWAYS a reason.

[sgiandubh]

Just so stories: *urvology 101

The wait is over and it's not a SQUEE:

'The original source of the pics does NOT want me to share them or even describe them' -> proceeds to 'describe' them, anyways. Nothing better than cheap bullshit to keep her scattered crowd engaged.

If you had any doubts left the troll is a useful mythomaniac, this should settle them once and for all, I believe:

This time, *urv insists she will not show the 📸, even privately. Because there is nothing to show, and probably never was, at least as far as this episode goes. But the interesting thing is her offer to share the mere existence of pics that she will not be allowed to share as is. With this one, I think we just legit crossed into pathetic fanfic territory. Who knew?

Of course, this alone shall not stop this madness. Of course, the five or six Mommies will still plead with her, just like they did when she pulled the same trick during the SUA Macbeth season. But this time, it's summertime and the living should be easier than that. Right?

And for some reason, it is not. Go figure, but I know what I know. And reader, so do you.

[lallybroch-pr-watch]

Sam started following a restaurant in Edinburgh called ARDFERN.

Thank you anon. Everyone please practice your shocked faces for when it turns out to be the restaurant in question. While we’re all on the edge of our seats waiting for new photos, that will surely be exciting and overflowing with love, I’d just like to remind everyone that, as can be seen above, this is all part of a game Sam and Purv are both very much a part of.

But I’d like to offer another possibility: are the photos even necessary anymore?

The story is already out there. It already managed to get a few people here jumping out of their seats, so God forbid we forget Steph exists for even a second. So Purv and her magical "global team", don't even have to post any photos, it will be absolute truth for Purv’s army of sock accounts anyway.

And the proof? Sam’s follow, of course.

Who actually needs to drag himself all the way to Edinburgh with a woman and child he may or may not even like, when you can get the exact same effect with a useful blogger and an Instagram follow?

Personally, I’d love to see these photos, if they exist. I’m always encouraging Sam to improve, and maybe this time he’ll even look at her. SQUEE!!!

This has become so stupid it’s exhausting. The fatigue is visible across the fandom, and my guess is that with 3-6 more months of games like these, there won’t be many people left here to laugh at the joke Sam is making of himself with her. Purv will keep talking to herself, Sam’s mommies will keep crowding his events, and the wider circle will keep shrinking.

I’m sorry I haven’t posted all the anons I’ve received over the past few days, will hopefully get to them later. But one anon asked why I think Jamie Roy went to the match in Miami and Sam didn’t.

So beyond Sam’s marketing failure with the Tartan Army, unfortunately for Sam, Jamie is the new Jamie now. And maybe this is the first real spark of Sam’s imminent irrelevance.

Until recently, I still hoped he would wake up, understand where things were heading, catch it in time, and change direction. Build an image that would actually serve him, instead of this circus that anyone who so much as sticks their head inside can see is rotten from within. Take care of his businesses. Expand his audience.

But for now, it seems he’s mostly investing his energy in manipulating the fans who still care about him.

The hourglass that flipped when the show ended just keeps running.

[craighnadonuts]

I think all this effort to appear organic and genuine is an attempt to win over more supporters and erase the terrible timeline of this "romance." I’ve seen plenty of comments in Facebook groups—where people don't have to be nice (since the celebrity won't be reading)—and whenever a Purv's reader posts about the timeline of this "romance of the century," lots of people make jokes, pass judgment, and are shocked by the fact that the song used in the trailer is by her late husband.

What surprised me was seeing the comments from some "Mommies" about Sam's new look. Many are criticizing the tattoo, while others say they expected him to choose a different woman—someone who better matched his vibe. Perhaps TC doesn't realize that the followers on her "professional account" fawn over her on Instagram but share their true opinions about her in Facebook groups.

[sgiandubh]

At this point in time, I am way more excited testing my first bucket of The Pink Stuff on a stubborn oven dish, than by this utterly imbecilic 🎪.

And guess what? At least The Pink Stuff works. SQUEE!!!!

[benfeldmanlove21-blog]

I want to clarify how toxic the accounts fans are blindly listening to and believing are. This photo was posted before implying it’s from a family trip with Sam, when in fact it is from June 2025 when they filmed a video to accompany Talos’ song “A dawning” released after his death. The original post of this picture is underneath.

We are branded haters for honestly calling out the bullshit we see. Yet these accounts are acceptable by posting fake narratives.
