Going back in time......

Yesterday, I had nothing to do so I turned on the TV and began watching season 1, episode 1 of Outlander. It's been a long time since I re-watched season 1, at least from the beginning. Strange what you notice after watching all 7 seasons. I wanted to see Sam and Caitriona, how they interacted with one another in those early episodes. I also turned the sound off during parts of their interactions. It's amazing when you see them now verses when the show began and how they were so in tune with one another. Even their unspoken words, using their bodies to express their love and affection for one another is so forthcoming in those initial episodes. They were less guarded then what I saw in seasons 4 through 7. I believe that everything shifted after during 2018 and continued a downward spiral.

Sad how STARZ control and manipulation changed the trajectory of the Outlander franchise from something so beautiful to an upgraded Hallmark movie.

It's the love that goes through the hardest trials and survives that's worth having.

Behold, Cait. These are your loyal Stans.

Los falsos aduladores son maestros en disfrazar sus verdaderas intenciones con palabras dulces. La verdadera admiración no necesita de aduladores, sino de sinceridad y respeto.

False flatterers are masters at disguising their true intentions with sweet words. True admiration doesn't require flatterers, but rather sincerity and respect.

Games people play

An ephemeral (and now quickly deactivated) account went rogue and sent a prominent shipper blog a whole load of conversations between that person, who played friendly to the Other Side, and Caitony. You know, the staunch stalwart of the Remarkable Week-end Saga, who consistently insulted shippers in the most revolting fashion one can imagine. 'Crazy' and 'stupid' being almost terms of endearment, of course.

I shall not repost the six conversations that have been meticulously screen capped and posted. You can read them here, starting with this post, where the Rogue Operator explains her choice of releasing them: https://www.tumblr.com/auburncurlslass/781073024919207936/hello-shipper-this-message-is-not-about-me-sam?source=share

But a couple of lines from that scrambled dialogue of sorts gave me pause, and I have thoughts and questions, as always.

'Beijos em tenda'/'Kisses in the tent'. I know what I saw, that night, while dissecting that Taylor Swift concert episode frame by frame. Many shippers were doubtful, perhaps because almost twelve years of brutality made many wary of the consequences of being too open or too readily accepting. A culture of paranoia and permanent second-guessing was the necessarily logical consequence of collective bullying. Now one of the most revolting people on the other side confesses she saw exactly the same thing and that it annoyed the shit out of her. Understandable: Those Two Kissed. Not on the cheek.

So, here you have it: Caitony knows that very well. Is she the only one? Doubtful: many, if not all of them, know the same thing, for you can be sure conversations happened in those DM boxes, too,

Shipper Mom just confirmed: in the above context, a 'beijo' is virtually never on the cheek. Otherwise, it would have been an 'abraço' - just a hug, so to speak, which wouldn't have scandalized Caitony. Yet, this one seems to have traumatized her so much, that she felt the urge to remind her 'friend', in a different conversation, one of the arguments used by Mordor to explain C's questionable behavior, including (but not only) that night. Albeit, on a more ominous tone:

C is, according to Caitony, 'doida'/crazy and 'bebe muito'/drinks a lot'. Yes, this is in the context Caitony finally spills the tea about her very seriously shipping C and Tobias Menzies, which is amusing, to say the least. Later on, she even speculates on Blonde Bambino being Tobias' son: ugh, nobody seems to like McGill, or what?

I have always known the entire Greek Chorus of sopranos, minions and clones were always spinning the same two arguments in a gradual miscellanea of insults and fighting words because what I post often made them feel uneasy (a #silly understatement). But now, here is evidence:

You know, they love and respect her so much, that they are readily throwing her under the bus the very moment she does not conform to their scenario. It's 'exclusivamente culpa dela'/'exclusively her fault', because you are just a sad and lonely woman, who has a parasocial relationship with a perfect, lionized stranger. And wow, how hard must reality sometimes bite, to make you veer dangerously close to our shores: 'tem horas que acho Tony um verdadeiro fantoche'/'at times, I think Tony is a real puppet'. You don't say, darling...

Of course, S is (according to Caitony) a gay man whose partner is Norouzi, which doesn't really come as a surprise, since this is what the Screeching Banshees have been insinuating for years, now. I have debunked enough of it, even showing how they tinkered with Wikipedia, to insist on this nonsense.

What is really interesting, though, is this very recent convo with Caitony, where she touches a very sensitive issue, all the while telling her 'friend' she was disillusioned and quitting this toxic madness:

Fucking fun, too, to read her defining C's marriage as a 'farca necessaria'/a necessary sham (but is this the same woman seeing McGill in Dublin, recently? Oh...) and openly mentioning 'divorcio'/divorce. Not once, but at least twice:

She even expects it to happen (really?), but thinks it's not the case, yet. How peculiar, really!

And, perhaps the most telling of everything, here is what she really, honestly wants for C's new movie, just because she thinks C needs the money and this is why she lies to her true fans:

'Quero que ela flope esse filme'/I want her film to be a flop'.

Not a fucking ounce of fucking shame. A cara nem treme.

I am not sorry for the length. Credits given accordingly, with the amendment the informer deactivated her blog, supposedly because she was afraid of Caitony going after her. I can also tell you that this informer followed my page for an hour, before changing her mind and choosing to post elsewhere. I am glad she did spill the tea.

'No boundaries. No respect. No class.'

In the meanwhile, we are preparing our trip to Paris, where we will make sure to tell C how good she is at what she does. I am not going for her. I am going because I want to hug and talk to all the people who will join our merry company. Because this is what a fandom is for: a facilitator for like-minded people to meet and become friends, not a cesspool of madness. I'll give Caitony that involuntary honesty.

Baaaaat!

Did you see that CaitTony exposed? I wasn't surprised, after all, she's a person who dedicates herself to spreading hate. For a few years now, we've seen her attacking shippers, fans in general, curious people and especially Sam, whom she really seems to hate. I thought Caittony was one of those Only Cs who idolize C in a very embarrassing way, but the news here is that all that hate is directed at her too. And what about Tony? Wow! The poor guy doesn't find a place to be welcomed even by Caittony.

I have a question: how do BIF, Munshka and the Balfienation really feel about C? Do they really love her, or are they just projecting an ideal of perfection to justify their hatred of shippers?

Las personas mentirosas viven en un mundo de ilusiones, pero la realidad siempre termina por alcanzarlas. Una mentira puede recorrer el mundo en un solo paso, pero la verdad, aunque tarda un poco más en llegar, llega.

Liars live in a world of illusions, but reality always eventually catches up with them. A lie can travel the world in a single step, but the truth, even if it takes a little longer to arrive, arrives.
