Interesting to see speculation that Sam’s recently incorporated company will be the linchpin toward a Sassenach Spirits distillery.
Lallybroch is the home of JAMMF and by extension the Sassenach of his heart, Claire. It’s unique to DG books and the OL series.
It’s fair to say SS and its best seller The Sassenach is niche in the crowded celebrity booze market.
Establishing Lallybroch as SS distillery will take millions of pounds and time. Time that stares down a ticking clock to the completion of series eight and the end of OL, JAMMF, Claire and their daughter and grandchildren.
The draw to get bus loads through to the OL theme distillery and make it profitable is Sam and only Sam. Will his broad JAMMF shoulders be able to shoulder the burden?
That requires faith, hope and the charity of a fandom that will just have watching the series on repeat and of course Cons in perpetuity.
Could the business model be that a Glasgow Con will be in the grounds of the Lallybroch distillery?
🤔
The legend that is Dolly Parton brings patrons to her theme park, and it struggles.
Can this small niche fandom deliver in the initial stages of operation financial stability to grow and be profitable.
Ambitious goals are to be applauded. It’s the entrepreneurs of the business world who take big risks who are both rewarded and crushed.
Let’s see what the weekend delivers. Sam will have a section of his fandom literally in the palm of his hands. They will buy everything he sells.
He has titillated that he has news and going to Lallybroch with what looks like plans, well he is the ring master.
Lest they would think as they all collectively do, with the shared single braincell they use across the street, we are hiding shite under the carpet. Not my method, Anon, off - and online.
So, ok. He was there. We were on perhaps the worst case scenario, probability-wise, on that one: 50/50, which is sort of mildly excruciating, right?
I can only encourage you to watch that clip, Anon. There are always nuances in the worst of bullshit situations. Yes, she is smiling. Briefly to T (this page founds a lie beyond ridiculous) and then to the winner:
Yes, she looks relaxed enough. But never forget she is an actress, after all, at a professional event. What did you expect her to do, sulk? I know, it happened before, when she was perhaps way less thrilled, but people change and they learn from their mistakes. Narrative wise, her being awkward around McElusive was a PR mistake that had to be corrected/properly retconned. This seems to be the case, now, with a more natural attitude.
But you can fumble around and manipulate only that much of a given situation. The giveaway, to me, in this is TMcG (the hour is solemn, no jokes around, please) - still the same unkempt, DGAF, 70s called outfit, plus looking really, really strange. Unlike many on our side, I shall not elaborate - there is no need to. Yet it is plain to see something is unwell, especially when compared to the cortisone prosperity of the last sighting. Don't get me wrong: I have no ill wish towards this person. I just can't help but notice something is amiss, in all this forced, calculated, propagandistic Joy.
I am also fully aware there are many mean eyes watching me from the shadows across the street, Anon. I mean, seriously, BIF?
Of course, that is your page and you can write what the hell you want. Choosing to quote me was a rather successful ambush. Remember, however (really LOL, always LOL): wars are not won with just tactics. Ok, you have a questionable edge on this one - a wasted battle.
Wars are won with good strategy and a synoptic, not fragmented vision (making a huge affair out of each and every single detail), of the state of play. You may be a decent tactician, perhaps, but you are a lousy strategist.
Oh, and to think you are planning a get together at the Paris Landcon, too, eh? How nice and how copy/paste of you, folks. I wonder what you expect, a fucking remake of West Side Story?
I could say good afternoon and even shake your hand anytime, BIF. But I bet you wouldn't. You're a tiny, hateful person with an overinflated ego, like that.
Sorry, Anon, for the rant. I tried to be as objective as I could, under biased circumstance and harsh scrutiny. I just hope this brought more clarity.
Piggybacking off your other anon about her looking great…I wanted to point out that she has looked so happy in all the videos from set this final season. I think we all know why… just someone she happens to have called darling and sweet recently is around!
I love how genuinely happy they are when they are with each other. Their whole bodies exude happiness and let’s not forget how there is never any room for Jesus when they are next to each other! I’m still grinning from ear to ear about how sweet they were with each other in both videos Outlander has posted. Not over the piggyback ride and his arm constantly being wrapped around her shoulder. 😍
Cuando a luz de tu rostro se ilumina con tu compañero de trabajo y se oscurece con tu "marido." Houston, tenemos un problema.😎
When the light on your face is illuminated by your co-worker and darkened by your "husband." Houston, we have a problem.😎
La Legión Cóndor también va a Paris? Pobre Sam, seguro que se alegra mucho de volver a verlas otra vez, tendrá que mirar por encima el hombro cuando vaya al WC por si acaso 🤪
Que cosas tienes anon, como no van a ir ellas a algun sarao donde aparezca Sam. Hasta ahora solo se han saltado Australia pero lo que no se es que harán de su vida cuando OL termine y ya no haya convenciones ni estrenos.
It’s interesting what Sam says here about being very careful about what he shares on social media and about keeping his private life private.😏🫣😜 except for the breadcrumbs and the little “slips”.
Lauren Lyle doesn't have crazy shippers trashing her and her boyfriend, hiring private investigators to prove she and he aren't actually together or creating fiction about her and her co-star Cesar. Plus, not every celebrity is into promoting and sharing their private lives on line with million of strangers. And in spite of all the garbage shippers thrown Cait's way for 10 years, she's managed to be with Tony, who she married and had a child with. By the end of 2024 OL will be just a memory. She will finally leave it behind and rarely see Sam who will continue on the same path making B movies and shilling his booze to whatever is left of OL mommies.
First of all: we are coming from an Easter holiday, I don't know if you celebrate it in a religious sense, but we usually leave these holidays lighter and happier, so why so much bitterness? Second: why are you hurting yourself by reading shippers' blogs, where you will find opinions contrary to yours, which will make you angry and cause you suffering? Now to answer: no one can take away from Lauren and Cesar the merit of having been light and open from the beginning. And this has always been easy for them because they have nothing to hide. Nobody ships them, because from the beginning the friendship between them is something that can be seen, in fact. From the beginning they post photos together with their respective partners, from the beginning they don't create mysteries when they meet. Everything we see from the two (and from anyone who has social media) is what they want to show us and Cesar and Lauren have shown us all these years how spontaneous they are. They just act like normal friends who have nothing to hide. About Stalkers you forgot to mention the fans who travel (and even move) to Glasgow to try to meet and get a glimpse of C's home life (unsuccessfully). He also forgot to mention the fan who went to an awards show and screamed T's name as if he were a celebrity, making him practically run away from the venue in mortification. Well, these people are not shippers, you don't have to complain about them here on my blog. And about celebrities and social media: anyone who really doesn't want people/fans to know anything about their life acts like Tobias Menzies. You don't know what his garden looks like, his dishes, his sheets, the walls of his house, his relatives, where he was possibly last week, not even the last female friendship he made, simply because he doesn't post anything of this and doesn't even talk about it in interviews. Posting about personal life and then complaining about privacy is contradictory to say the least. And lastly: based on your bitterness and the fact that you try to read things that hurt you: have you ever thought about going to therapy? I know you'll take this as an insult, but I'm serious. Sometimes destructive behaviors are in small nuances of our lives and we don't realize it.
Foto del antiguo blog de Terry Dresbach en WordPress … con una cita debajo. Lo dice todo. "Algo como esto no le pasa a la mayoría de la gente. La mayoría de las personas pasan toda su vida sin encontrar nunca este tipo de amor. Esto simplemente no sucede todos los días. Y cuando dos personas tan especiales, y tan inusuales como ustedes dos, tienen la suerte de encontrarse, es su RESPONSABILIDAD absoluta, hacer lo que sea necesario, mover el cielo y la tierra para estar juntos. ¡Se lo debemos a todas las personas que nunca tendrán una oportunidad semejante!

Most people go their entire lives without ever finding this kind of love. This just doesn't happen every day. And when two people so special, and so unusual As you two are lucky enough to find each other, it is your absolute RESPONSIBILITY, to do whatever it takes, to move heaven and earth to be together. We owe it to all the people who will never have such an opportunity!
You know it’s Outlander Promo time when Shippers get ecstatic about a Promo video and confusing this with real life. But only until there is a picture with their real partners, then the crying will start again. Same as always.
Oh yeah, you also know it‘s promo time when all the cockroaches and shadow creatures, that normally live in the darkness, appear in your inbox as Anons.
Did you ever ask yourselves how would that almost fabled Day After look, as in the day after a Reveal?
Yesterday should be a good indication.
Prudent celebration, but clear celebration here. And across the street, a stunned, heavy silence. It's only fair: shite has been eaten in colossal amounts, in Mordor, on a daily basis. S has been particularly maimed, in the process, the daily divertimento of women sniper commandos, their own sexual fantasy poorly disguised as snarl.
Two of the three sopranos remain silent and the Ur Troll still has to distance herself from the last Harlequin fanfic, featuring something that never was, on a distant shore she has no idea about. The one who immediately spoke, paid perfunctory tribute to her favorite, C, and that's about it. The other, speaking only today, answers Anons about Xena's teeth, Xena's filtered Instagram and Xena's bra: where is her vulgar courage, now? Oooh. Right. Lame, as usual and I have to say I am surprised. And their Investigator in Chief remains silent as we speak: her inflated ego blew a fuse, in the process and anger is always a lonesome territory.
The Spanish Evil Twin does not count. Her attempts at irony are tinged with her proverbial stupidity and, perhaps for the first time, with clear and present panic: she sounds drunk, just like my Anon. She is laughable.
So long for Reason. So long for Braincells. So long for all those painstaking, intricate webs of lies. Something snapped, in the Narrative and you all know it. And it happened not because all those bitter honchos at *** had a sudden Damascus like revelation, but because their complete lack of professional ethics, shamelessly lying to an entire fandom, backfired in the most horrible way they could have ever imagined.
Yesterday was a wonderful day.
