Probably permanent hiatus

The Outlander fandom has never been a particularly easy one to be a part of. The bullying and the in-fighting are outrageous, worse than I’ve ever seen in any other fandom (and worse by people who should definitely know better). But, it’s been okay over in this little corner, pretty easy to ignore the worst of it so long as you don’t stray into the tags or onto the wrong blogs. That’s always been my tactic here, concentrate on doing what I love doing and love the parts of the fandom that I love. 

Today, I find I can’t do that anymore. With all the shit that went down 2 days ago and the response to it, I’ve found that I can’t now support Outlander or be a part of this fandom anymore. I cannot be a part of a fandom where harrassing and bullying of its fans by “friends” of the main actor is condoned (sorry but sweeping it under the rug is condoning it in my book, and Sam’s tweet was most definitely victim blaming sorry not sorry). Even if I was not directly involved and it’s not my section of the fandom that was attacked, I’m still outraged and disappointed. Unless something miraculous happens in the future, I’ll no longer be supporting Outlander by watching it, buying further books nor partaking in the fandom. I know it’ll make no difference in the grand scheme of things but it’ll make me feel better. 

Thank you to everyone who has made this blog special - from those who have written with me here, to those who just pop up every once in a while for a chat. I appreciate and love you all. If you wish to keep in contact with me, you can pop up on IM for my skype or find me on my shiny new personal blog which I encourage you all to follow just for my trash.

“You can talk to a babe, ye ken,” she said suddenly, breaking into my thought. “Really talk, I mean. Ye can tell them anything, no matter how foolish it would sound did ye say it to a soul could understand ye.”

“Oh. You heard him, then?” I asked. She nodded, eyes on the curve of Katherine’s cheek, where the tiny dark lashes lay against the fair skin, eyes closed in ecstasy.

“Aye. Ye shouldna worrit yourself,” she added, smiling gently at me. “It isna that he feels he canna talk to you; he knows he can. But it’s different to talk to a babe that way. It’s a person; ye ken that you’re not alone. But they dinna ken your words, and ye don’t worry a bit what they’ll think of ye, or what they may feel they must do. You can pour out your heart to them wi’out choosing your words, or keeping anything back at all—and that’s a comfort to the soul.” - Ch.35 Moonlight, Dragonfly in Amber

You can talk to a wee one in a way you talk to no one else, ye can pour out your heart to them without choosing your words or holding anything back, and that’s a comfort to the soul.

“Eh, wee Kitty, ciamar a tha thu? Much, mo naoidheachan, much”

The sound of them went up and down the passage, and I dropped further toward sleep, but kept half-wakeful on purpose to hear them. One day perhaps he would hold his own child so, small round head cradled in the big hands, small solid body cupped and held firm against his shoulder. And thus he would sing to his own daughter, a tuneless song, a warm, soft chant in the dark. The constant small ache in my heart was submerged in a flood of tenderness. I had conceived once; I could do so again. Faith had given me the gift of that knowledge, Jamie the courage and means to use it. - Ch.35 Moonlight, Dragonfly in Amber
