⛓️‍💥 Chains Off ⛓️‍💥

I want to remain forever in the mood of that picture ⤵️⤵️⤵️

For now, though, it’s only Caitríona who seems to have broken her chains. And you can see it — on her face, in her body language, in her words. It’s impossible not to notice.

But haven’t we spent too little time analyzing this? ⤵️⤵️⤵️

. . . Haven’t we talked too little about what was NOT there at Monday’s premiere?

Well — the so-called engagement ring was not there. The very same one the Main Heroin spoke about in her interview for Only Natural Diamonds magazine — an interview published on the exact same day as the premiere.

I think everyone in this corner of the fandom knows how to read reflections about “the husband", that husband — the one with enough money to buy two different antique engagement rings and have a jeweler merge them because he wanted very specific stones.

For years — since 2018 — for many of us that ring functioned as a symbol of captivity.

And now it’s gone.

Even with all the string-pullers present.

. . . It feels as though the Narrative is shifting toward something brighter. At least, that’s how it reads to me.

Praises be....my chains are lifted...at least Caitriona's seem to be gone. Sam's are still hanging...at least IMO. Caitriona's done with STARZ and their treatment of their 'ASSets'. And if anyone from STARZ is reading Tumblr blogs....FU, STARZ! You've done nothing but line your shareholders and executives pockets since 2013!!!!

Many discussions have been had over the past 12-13 years of the natural "chemistry" between Sam and Caitriona. Like no other. Lightning in a bottle. But what never gets talked about is the "physical" matching, fitting of these 2 beautiful humans. First, we see it as Claire and Jamie on screen embracing or especially in intimate scenes. (Why do we always say it Claire and Jamie, but it's Sam and Caitriona??!) Bodies that seem to meld together. Fitting perfectly like puzzle pieces. I think that is one reason their sex scenes in Outlander have far exceeded other shows. Then ... came the photoshoots. Photos in character. Photos as themselves. All of them physically 'hot', but artistically beautiful as well. As someone with an art background, I have always looked at their photos as 'works of art'. The way their bodies fit, mesh, blending in with their beauty. Chemistry + physicality + beauty = Sam Heughan Caitriona Balfe. Man, have we been seeing this in the last few weeks with all the new photos being released! I honestly don't know if we have ever seen the likes before, or if we ever will again. What my head can't get around yet is that those are over. Outlander ending. No more photoshoots. It's like saying to me, no more Michaelangelo, no more Leonardo de Vinci in this world!! At least there is always the internet. We'll forever have that to see their photos. And for all you who have been documenting since the beginning, thank you! But don't leave us!! New comers and the "middle children" in this fandom need your archives to look back on! They are treasures!
