"You could never disappoint me. And there's no shame in being different. You may be small, but you are capable of great things." I'm done, thank you. The whole family lives happily ever after. *shaky nod*

I feel the need to tell you all that I just finished the Outlander season/series 5 finale and CAN WE TALK ABOUT MARSALI HERE?? MY HEART IS SO FULL. Obviously there's a lot of problematic stuff going on in this series, but this brief moment felt so heartwarming that I needed to share it somewhere.

That's a wrap on S6E3, Temperance!

These thoughts on the episode contain SPOILERS from the books and likely season 7! 🚨

I find myself thinking of women, and the choices they have to make. Marsali chose to struggle with children alone rather than enable Fergus's drinking. It worked out in the end, but she couldn't be there for him and the babies, and it nearly cost Fergus's life.

Claire is choosing to keep her trauma to herself and it is damaging her and driving her to unhealthy outlets.

Malva is trapped in a home where she is degraded by one man and the object of unhealthy obsession by the other. She seeks escape through manipulation and deceit rather than confide in those who could possibly help her.

Brianna isn't a focus of this episode, but we've seen her talents be dismissed. Yet she continues to be herself.

I don't know where I am going with this, except that each one of us makes choices for ourselves that ripple outward into our homes and communities, and because of that each of us are so important. Doing for yourself by asking those around you for help isn't actually selfish, because that self-love could prevent ripples of pain from ever reaching those around you.

I hope that makes some sense. I think I agree with Mr. Christie that fiction is valuable indeed, especially as a catalyst for thought and discussion.

Have a great weekend. Hope you join on Sunday for episode 4.

Lots of Love 🧡,

I ship Fergus and Marsali so hard! They're so cute, Lauren Lyle and César Domboy have such chemistry together.

Also, didn't realize Fergus was 17 years older than Marsali.
