You know me mostly here for the pretty Sassenach edits āØ
Lately though, weāve all been noticing some timelines that donāt quite add up. Still not here to dig into private lives (thatās not my vibe), but the questions keep coming.
Good news: Anonymous asks are back on by popular demand!
Iāll keep sharing the beautiful stuff you love, mixed with some honest chats.
Quick rules: Keep it polite please. Rudeness gets zero attention from me ā straight to ignore/delete. Letās keep the energy nice.
Iāve been asked countless times my opinion of that video. Iām just going to say this once. MY opinion is not about why he moved, he was the grand marshal, he was not there to stand by her side all afternoon. Itās the bigger picture of that whole day but also things that stick out to me even in their (what weāre meant to be) private moments. He went to get his photo taken. He knew he was needed. Itās the fact when sheās rubbing his back he doesnāt react naturally back to her. He doesnāt smile at her. He doesnāt put his arm around her. Walking through the crowd sheās grabbing onto his arm with her free hand whilst carrying her 9 year old with the other and yet the man who has two hands free does not react and take her hand to guide her easier through the crowd.
Weāve all seen these āmoments in timeā as some call them. People make excuses that itās a quick capture. The after party video was him in āwork modeā, the reaction after the public kiss was āheās guarded in front of fansā and the entirety of the parade was āhe doesnāt like PDAā
Ok sure.
But the Photo Booth pic? And now this embarrassing profile pic? Those two moments were PRIVATE moments. Cute Photo Booth pics for private memories. Yet he looks strained, heās not being silly, goofy or fun. He looks like heās forced into it. And now the vacation pic. My biggest issue. The one thing that made me go ok now my minds made up. A vacation is when youāre at your most relaxed. Most genuine. Youāre posing for a picture on the beach, on a blissful summer holiday. Itās taken for your private memories of that holiday. Iām sure many photos were taken (or not, if thatās what she chose) but EVERY photo would be you beaming, no fans around to be āguardedā around. No care for PDA because who notices you in the crowd on a beach. No work mode to stress you out. And yet, heās not beaming. Heās not silly smiling or hugging her into him, heās not being the fun Sam who everyone says he is.
Also side note.. idk one grown up woman dating anyone, let alone a celeb who has their icon with their partner but cut majority of him out. Itās weird. Itās crazy behaviour. Itās basically more embarrassing each day I think about it.

Cuando el circo monta una funciĆ³n gratis, lo mĆnimo es comentar la actuaciĆ³n, es demasiado descarado para ignorarlo y demasiado divertido para no seƱalarlo. Ni el guionista mĆ”s creativo habrĆa escrito un bochorno tan perfecto.

When the circus puts on a free show, the least you can do is comment on the performance. It's way too blatant to ignore and far too entertaining not to call out. Not even the most creative screenwriter could have come up with such a perfectly embarrassing spectacle.
Thanks to @lallybroch-pr-watch for sharing the link.
With all due respect, but did you "create" your new ideas about his brand using AI? After everything he posted recently about the shameless use of AI. That's scary, if he sees this he'll probably run. This is not marketing, believe me.
The idea is really cool, canned drinks are always practical and sensational in the summer especially. If you had made a collage/montage I really believe he would appreciate it
Thank you anon
But donāt worry..
Not all my mockups and samples in my own project is created by -ai- though itās easier in designing..
There sketches and mood boards and trills and full storyboards and numbers!!!
The idea is not about the tool itās about the use of it and how
Adding that ai now is limiting creativity and open the door for everyone to participate..! With or without knowledge and Iām proud to say that Iām pretty old fashioned creator when it comes to my actual job and work and thatās effort and long time working is not to be shared here
Are you copying other brandsā ideas now? Just because you follow a former Sam employee. Do you really think heās hiring you because of these lousy attempts?
I would take those lousy attempts ..
Okay first of all
I love Ashley.. so much and I think the Sassenach lost a big deal when she left
However anon
I didnāt copy her or steal from her
I got inspired by her - and by her marketing team ideas !! And i mentioned that but only if you bother enough to really take time and read š
And one more thingā¦ if I ever got hired by the Sassenach team .. Iām not offering an inspirational ideas from great people like Ashley no
I have my own authentic product and project sweetheart and that work wonāt get here for copyrights reasonsššš
So yeah keep going on judging because that what youāre the best at
Since weāre using AI for everything lately, I thought Iād put it to good use.
I got inspired by BERO..because letās be honest, the marketing is top tier. š
So I crafter and imagine a Sassenach summer collection.
š LALLYBROCH ā Gin & Tonic
āCome Home to the Highlands.ā
āļø FRASER ā Scotch Whisky ā¢ Cola ā¢ Amber Beer
āBorn of the Highlands. Built for Legends.ā
Easy to grabā¦Easy to drinkā¦Perfect for summer.
And honestlyā¦ with Outlander still carrying us through the end of the year, I canāt help thinking a summer RTD collection wouldāve been a fun idea.
Soā¦Am I completely mad? Or would you actually buy these? šš„ Asking the anon once more š
Oh Sweetie! At most, heāll ring you through his lawyer about stalking. Thatās all. Go on dreaming about working for him. Itāll never happen. Steph will never allow it.
Oh little did I know about stalking šš i should take lessons from the best around here anon šš and I would be delighted to have his lawyers to contact me..just then maybe I can show them what Iāve got about the āstalking ladyā youāre talking about aboutšš
And Steph wonāt allow it??? Never knew she can also manage his business šš
As we say in Egypt..make sure to cover your š so you donāt hallucinate when youāre upš
Is It Only Meā¦ Or Is There Something āNot Funnyā About It? š¤š
I genuinely need to know if Iām the only one thinking this.
Because this is not about Sam as a person
No
This is about the marketingā¦.What is going on, guys? š š
I love Samā¦I love Sassenach.
And I genuinely enjoy watching the content you put out.
Which is exactly why this one left me scratching my headā¦ again!!
Clearly, you found a bunch of content filmed back in late 2025 to release later because of Samās schedule and how busy he is.
I understand that.
I also understand that heās changed since then. Everything looks different nowā¦I totally get how marketing works.
But againā¦Timing matters.
Content can still serve its purpose while also feeling like it completely missed its moment.
And then thereās the scriptā¦ once more. š¤¦š»āāļø
Let me give you one little side note.
Not all of Samās fans are, respectfully, that dry.
Just because heās wearing a nice outfit and delivering this kind of scripted humour that sounds and his dummy board doesnāt mean everyone is going to buy it.
I wanted to love it.
Instead, I found myself thinking,
āThis doesnāt sound like Sam.ā
Maybe itās just me.
Or maybe someone on the marketing team should open their inbox once in a while.
Wellā¦ She Threw The Bait. I Just Didnāt Bite. š
Something felt off the moment I saw the picture.
Not because of what was in it.
But because of what wasnāt.
The watermark.
If youāve followed these kinds of posts and blogger for a while, youāll know thatās usually one of the first things people notice.This time, it wasnāt there.
That immediately made me pause.
So instead of jumping to conclusions, I did what I always do.
I asked questionsā¦I looked closerā¦I ran a few checksā¦
And that what i found šš¤¦š»āāļø

Thatās the thing about the internetā¦Not every image is fakeā¦BUT Not every image is real.

š Class Is Now In Session! Welcome to Photoshop & AI 101. š
Please take your seats.
Coffee on the leftā¦Delusion at the door.
Todayās lesson is called:
āHow To Make Something Look Far More Dramatic Than It Actually Is.ā š¤
Contrary to popular belief, this isnāt some top-secret FBI technologyā¦It isnāt NASAā¦It isnāt magic.
And noā¦ AI didnāt suddenly become self-aware overnight.
Itās actually ridiculously simple.
š Lesson One: The Background
Take an Instagram profile screenshot.
Blur it into oblivion (about 80%)
The goal is for everyone to recognize Instagramā¦without being able to read a single thing.
š Lesson Two: The Star of the Show
Take the profile pictureā¦Crop it into a perfect circleā¦Keep it razor sharp.
Then make it much larger than it originally was.
š Lesson Three: The Grand Finale
Place that sharp circular image right on top of the blurred screenshot.
Keep the Instagram layout exactly the same.
Congratulations! š
Youāve just created an image that looks far more mysterious than it actually is.
No secret software.
No elite hacking skills.
No āinside source.ā
Just layers.
For my fellow AI users, hereās your homework:
āUse an Instagram profile screenshot as the background. Blur it heavily while keeping the layout recognizable. Place a large, sharp circular version of the profile picture in the center. Keep the original proportions exactly the sameādonāt redesign the interface, only blur the background and enlarge the profile picture.ā
āØ Bonus Tip: The less you change, the more believable it looks.
Class dismissed.
See you next week for āPerspective, Shadows & Other Things That Accidentally Expose Bad Edits.ā š and special THANKS to my wormyš
And PS ā she mentioned she got a screenshot of this picture this morning. What I just told you all what I just showed you itās not a screenshot. Itās an edit it photoā¦
This is a screenshot
See you canāt see a name on in the back you cannot see anything in the back of her profile picture screenshot!!!ļæ¼

Remember When We Used Editing Apps For Pimples? š
Thanks to @benfeldmanlove21-blog to point it out and to my wormy friend š
Back in my day, editing was for hiding a breakout, smoothing a wrinkle, making your hair look a little fuller, Add a tattoo if you donāt have one š,or pretending you actually got a tan on holiday.
Now?
Apparently people think editing is for making two people look emotionally closer than they do in real life.
Thatāsā¦ ācertainly a choiceāšš¤¦š»āāļø.
What caught my attention wasnāt whether a photo existed or notā¦-because it did-
It was the discussion around different versions of what people claimed to be the same moment.
The person involved in the relationship show a version more fake than the real version that got leaked by a certain bloggerššš¤¦š»āāļø
And it made me laugh.
Because if youāre trying to convince people of a story, the last thing you want is for everyone to start debating the photos instead of the story.
The irony is almost poetic.
The more polished something becomes, the more people start looking for the seams.
Sometimes the smallest inconsistency is the loudest one.
And honestly?
Thatās the part I find fascinating.
Not because Iām interested in āprovingā anything.
But because itās amazing how quickly the conversation shifts from āLook how close they are!ā to āWaitā¦ why does this look different?ā
Itās a reminder that no amount of editingāwhether itās a photo, a caption, or a carefully curated social media feedācan replace authenticity.
Because eventuallyā¦
People stop looking at the picture.
They start looking through it.
And the most important question of it all how the original picture reached that certain blogger???šļæ¼
