Wha-whaaaaaatttttt!?!?!?!

Moore: We're pretty much allowed to do what we want. We always try to do the book version first. We make changes because it doesn't work for some reason, or maybe we changed a character that means you have to follow a different path – like our Murtagh [Duncan Lacroix] is alive, and clearly that's a change from the storyline.

405: SAVAGES

FROM SEEING THE INITIALS POSTS.. I KNOW I’M IN FOR A ROLLER COASTER OF A RIDE. BELOW ARE MY RAMBLINGS.

As it turns out... I have a lot of THOUGHTS.

(Spoilers most definitely ahead but this is currently me)

They started it with a fucking RABBIT. I’m crying already.

Claire and this woman are gonna kill me with their talk

SHE’S HERE

I somehow unceremoniously live in a log cabin NOT built by Jamie Fraser. WTAF

DOMESTIC AF

I DREAMED OF IT LAST NIGHT- feck me

Jamie is gonna kill me with his love for Bree.

I like this clipped beard Roger.

LOVE seeing Inverness again especially knowing Jamie’s ghost was standing literally right where Roger stopped walking away when he was told about the letter. 

Bespectacled Jamie. A mood.

This lady has her wits about her with JAMMF answering the door? “Not today”. Stop flirting. You’re not gettin’ any of the Fraser love.

Where can I petition for Claire to help me birth my bairn?

This birth and the callbacks to 301... LIKE CLAIRE MISSING JAMIE AT BREE’S BIRTH AND THE RED HAIR OMG WHY AM I CRYING AGAIN

This General Tryon is a serious problem. seriously.

BABY CLARA.

Whenever a dog barks ye know shit’s about to go down.

STEALING WATER FROM A CREEK? JHRC ARE YE FECKIN’ KIDDING ME

WATER BELONGS TO NO ONE.

Who made that quilt? ‘Cause I want need it.

Even Clarence has heart eyes for Claire.

It’s in the little things you can see she’s so happy at the Ridge.

COMIN’ THRU THE RYE.

Clairebear knows how to knit- well done Young Ian

Have I mentioned the domesticated Claire is my new aesthetic.

She’s not a fan of the smell but CLAIRE NEEDS HER MOONSHINE. #same

WHAT THE BLOODY FUCKING HELL

#MURTAGHLIVES AND I’M DYING

OMG Jamie is walkin’ around in his tricorn, minding his own business, not knowing MURTAGH IS RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER. Just like Claire at the Print shop. one of these times he’s gonna legit drop dead of shock.

I JUST. I CANNA.

OLD COOT IS THE BEST DESCRIPTOR FOR MURTAGH EVER.

Poor Claire- seriously EVERYONE thinks she’s a fucking witch casting spells

HERR MUELLER IS A FUCKING PROBLEM

“This was Ellen’s.”

“CLAIRE CAME BACK TO ME.”

SO FUCKING PROUD

*political plot thickens*

LOVE seeing Murtagh in a place that has power- he’s respected and when he speaks, people listen

I also almost get faint whiffs of Dougal whipping up donations in 105 (”Rent”)... except not in a dick-ish, manipulative and generally problematic way.

Jamie is still a man of his word. I simultaneously want to kiss him and smack him for it.

Murtagh’s face as Jamie walks away is enough to kill me.

Oh fuck you Herr Mueller. How DA FUQ Claire keeping her cool

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NOT HER.FUCKING NO. JUST. FUCKING NO. NOPE. I DO NOT ACCEPT THIS.

HOLY SHIT. HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT

the look on his face as he sees Claire on the porch

Just Hold Me.

OPE it’s time for Claire to get a surprise of her own.

BOOGIE WOOGIE BUGLE BOY

Roger’s heart is sae broken. His chest is heaving. He can’t move but can’t sit still. He knows what the letter means and he’s powerless to stop her. save her, help her.

Bree actually did it, she went through.

She’s gonna be cold with that dress

AND JUST WHEN I THINK I CAN BREATHE, THE PREVIEW FOR NEXT WEEK’S EPISODE HAS KILLED ME.

Lord John Grey folks.

LORD. JOHN. GREY.

304 vs 405: Jamie and Murtagh

This is dedicated to @ecampbellsoup and her love of Jamie and his Godfather.

The last time these two spoke of Claire, they were in prison.

Murtagh was very ill and Jamie had just escaped in an attempt to find the “White Witch.” Jamie could barely speak her name, the pain of losing both her and his child was still too present, too acute. Murtagh places his hand on Jamie, anchoring him to the moment, letting him know he’s not alone. Looking to comfort his Godson, Murtagh asked if he could “pray them sound”- to which Jamie, his face taut as he struggles to maintain his composure, can only say “Aye.”

20 years later, Jamie tells Murtagh that Claire has come back to him.

The look of wonder and shared history in this moment is almost too much to take.

Murtagh, again, places his hand on Jamie’s arm, but this time it is in disbelief, awe, and gratitude. For Murtagh, his prayers have been answered, and his beloved Jamie is finally whole again. Jamie’s face is brimming with pride and happiness, barely containing his emotions as his face beams as he thinks of Claire and his daughter, Brianna.

The juxtaposition of these two moments highlights the deep and unconditional relationship between Jamie and Murtagh. They have endured so much together, and Murtagh has never faltered in his loyalty to Jamie, nor has he ever questioned the impossible circumstances of Claire’s existence in their lives.

They have come full circle and are able to celebrate their reunion and all that is possible now that they have found one another again.

And Tonight on Outlander:

I scream and windmill my arms like a maniac for a solid hour.
