A wee edit to the video, I only focused on the man we actually wanna see😉...

Oh, and I upgraded the music a lil' bit too...😏

You're welcome! 😁😘

Hi! Could you do a top 10 these goobers love each other moments divided in a top 5 Cait moments and top 5 Sam moments? I woke up today missing their cute moments...

Hello there, Anon! Thanks for the ask!

Seriously, I love this ask so much. I was telling my GC that it’s asks like these that make me not regret keeping my inbox open, so thanks for that 😄

But also. This was a difficult question LOL. There are just so many little moments that I love and that I think show their Goobery Love™ so it’s hard to pinpoint just 5 for each. But hopefully you enjoy these moments I did pick and that it satisfies your cute moments craving! I know it certainly did mine 😊

5 Caitriona Moments (numbered, but not ranked)

1) The Look of Adoration. I’ve said before that this Fresno Bee vid is one of the very first ones I watched of them and it’s also the one that gave me pause because of the heart eyes Caitriona Mary Balfe is throwing at Sam Roland Heughan. Just look at that. She always listens to him so intently and with so much clear adoration and even after 6 years together and many of the same things said over and over again she’s still as invested in what he says as she has been from the beginning. 

2) The Origin Story. Whenever Caitriona talks about their chemistry test, she always emphasizes how good Sam made her feel and how instantaneously comfortable she felt with him. That connection and bond is so very evident when you watch the test video. This SAG interview always was very telling to me and has stuck in my mind for years since:

“I walked in and Sam was just this calm center in the room and there was zero posturing and zero ego. And I remember we just immediately started chatting about Scotland and I had friends who lived there. It was just like an old friend… I think we have a similar approach to life and we have a similar approach to acting. It just works… Sometimes you just get lucky. Sometimes the stars align.”

3) The Look of Pride. ECCC 2017 was a GEM. There were so many absolutely fantastic moments and it was just so much fun for everyone, both attending and at home watching. Honestly, I think it might be one of the best Cons they’ve done. But the one moment that makes this list is when Sam was asked about MPC and he began describing what the program has accomplished thus far. She looked so incredibly proud of all of it and so ridiculously proud of that man, just as the President and Founder of the SRH Fan Club always is.

4) Cheer Squad. This is one of my favorite SamCait photos and moments of all time. The fact that Caitriona just sat outside with a homemade sign around her neck waiting for Sam to pass by during his LA Marathon run makes me emo, y’all. And I think it’s even more telling that she later tried to brush it off as her just rolling out of bed and going outside to greet him. The only part of that story I believe is the croissant LOL xD I’ll throw every single one my pennies to the person who can get me a pic of her sign that day!

5) The Good One. “He’s a good man.” “He’s perfect.” “I admire Sam’s big heart.” For as much teasing as she does (they both do, really) there’s endless amounts of praise and compliments she has about this man. There is no one who has more confidence, more faith, or more support for him than she does. But of course, gotta take the piss outta him to keep him grounded 😂💜

5 Sam Moments (numbered, but not ranked)

1) “To dress Caitriona is not difficult, she looks great in virtually everything.” I love the fact that he said this, but I love even more the proof of his believe in this statement even more! We see this all the time, from BAFTA last year to the Season 1 premiere to this Golden Globe moments, which is another favorite SamCait pic for me. To make an internationally successful, highly sought after model look as if this is the first person to every pay her a compliment? HEART. EYES.

2) FvF’s Freelance Marketer. Who needs a PR department when you have Sam plugging FvF basically any chance he can get?? Not just all the likes and RTs, and comments, but the fact that he took the opportunity to talk about FvF when he was asked unrelated questions about himself. His pride in that woman shines through every single time.

3) Best Dressed. If Caitriona’s chemistry test story always features her “calm center” impression, then Sam’s always features Caitriona’s dress. What an impression she must have made on him walking in and blowing them all away if he remembers the plaid dress she was wearing that day! Magic, literally right from the very first second.

4) Home Away From Home. I just found this comment so sincere and sweet. Caitriona has often talked about being like a vagabond, mostly living out of her suitcase when she was modelling and then when she first started Outlander with very little notice. So to come to this point after all these years where they both feel like she’s found a home in Scotland is just so beautiful. Bonus points for the hand pat + squeeze!!

5) Laughter is the Best Medicine. If ECCC was their best Con, then this FB Q+A might be their best interview ever 😂😂😂 I only meant to watch this one part so I could make this GIF, but ended up watching all 15 minutes instead LOL. Anyway. This moment has always been on of my favorite parts of the entire Q+A. Not only is Caitriona ADORABLE here, but Sam being so concerned over something so small is just touching to see! He basically checks with her 4 times to make sure she’s alright. But at the same time, he obviously is doing what he loves doing best: making sure she stays laughing! The fact that he loves seeing her smile, hearing her laugh, and making sure she’s doing both as often as he can is my favorite thing about him. Periodt. 

Thanks again for the ask, Anon! This was fun 💜💜💜

This was lovely!

Just a lil' Sam/Cait music video I put together. I needed a pick-me-up and this is the result. Nothing fancy.

Enjoy. ❤️

Holy cow! Tons of history!

Sam Heughan and Caitriona Balfe live at the same address, share the same car and share their lives as a couple. At the very least they are partners.

These photos were taken Monday 23 April 2019. They went to get coffee, TOGETHER. They returned home together.

They spent the entire Easter weekend in Glasgow, TOGETHER.

On Good Friday 20 April 2019 Sam arrived home 2 hours before Caitriona. The same address. Their home.

I shared all of this with SiS Brazil. They as always have displayed discretion and patience until I was ready to post.

Believe what you want!!

WE ARE TOGETHER, WE WORK TOGETHER… IT’S ALL GOOD

Pure hatred

I usually avoid posting older things, because I think there's always more to be found, provided you give some time to proper and solid research.

However, this photoshoot for Entertainment Weekly (released in November 2017, already!) is very telling and always will be.

His usual mannerism before kissing scenes, in full motion. Whatever for? That was not part of the series shooting per se:

Her finger gently caressing his shoulder. Whatever for, if not for a shared moment, where they simply forgot or didn't GAF about being filmed?

Who the hell acts like that, while working? And no, don't give me the 'actors (C, S, Lassie the Dog) are touchy-feely' bullshit. That is more than touchy-feely or acting provocative with your 'gay friend' (oh, how convenient!).

That's so unprofessional, I could cry. Unless... unless 'whatever this is' between them is so overwhelming, it can never be completely castrated, nor covered up.

Yeah. Pure hatred, I am telling you. But people were not duped, just brutally assaulted when the entire plot turned very strange, to say the least.

Thank you, @sassytoonlass for reminding me about it. Which brings me back to BOMB and The Gathering.

Sam's MacBeth will be a fresh take, that's for sure!

Thanks for spotting that. What's your real opinion about?

Hello, Anon... What caught my attention is that it's Sam's opinion on... He could say that he thinks... Macbeth is the only one to blame for his own ambition, or that Lady Macbeth is just as villainous... Or any other interpretation... Couldn't he?!

But instead, he says "in my case" "I think"... And makes it clear that for him it's love that moves Macbeth, because he loves Lady Macbeth so much that he wants that for her as much as he wants it for himself. Sam doesn't point out their ambition or their guilt, but rather Macbeth's love for Lady Macbeth as justification for a choice/consequence that went further than it should have gone... Hmm... 🤔🤪🤯

Here she found her way home...

And he never forgot the address again...

[robinshill]

Could it be his beloved wife in the background, at the front door?

Tall, long-necked, with mannerisms very similar to hers and she seems to be trying to hide.

[robinshill]

She fits perfectly.

From the first moment I met you, I knew you would always be my shoulder to lean on!

hi! do u have or know where the sam + cait interview is with buzzfeed from years ago (cait was wearing a yellow dress) i’ve seen gifs of it but never the real video, and i’m dying to see it bc they’re so lovey dovey & flirty in it! thanks :)

Hiya Anon! Thanks for the throwback ask!

Unfortunately Buzzfeed never actually released the video for any of the interviews they’ve done with Caitriona + Sam. I have been yelling about it for years because HOW DARE THEY keep gold like that to themselves?! xD

I absolutely LOVE that interview though! It’s from SDCC 2014 and is priceless! Here are some of my favorite highlights:

Caitriona was excited to begin.

What was the first thing you noticed about the other person?

Describe each other’s character in one word.

Describe your first sex scene in one word.

Caitriona did a little re-organizing.

What’s the hardest part of making Outlander?

Luckily, the final question gave him a chance for redemption: What’s the best thing about your co-star?

And he wrote — a lot.

His list included: “Talent, Humour, Beauty, Dedication, and Stamina.”

With that, all was right again in the world of Outlander.

[robinshill]

Holy mothership, Batman!

A one-off shippery post.

Though I plan to abide by Zen Shipping as my personal Tao of Fandom, I couldn’t resist one Comic Con #Outlander #SamCait induced madness of a post. The latest eonline video interview with Sam and Cait is entirely too delicious not to dissect.

1. Starting pose.

2. Boundary confusion. 

KDS: “Does Caitriona Balfe have a sister?” 

SH & CB in unison, “Yes.” 

Oops, Sam thinks. “What? I’m not Caitriona? That wasn’t my question to answer?”

3. Who is Caitriona Balfe married to?

Cait, a bit taken aback: “No one.”

Sam grins. Not yet. Nooooot yet.

4. Mirroring. And a whole script-worthy series of silent exchanges.

This was the look they shared right after Sam quips, “I might tell you some day.” 

KDS: “Without the cameras rolling?”

Sam, without taking his eyes off Cait: “Yes.”

(marvelandwhimsy gif’d this bit so perfectly, so go check out The Great Synchronized Neck Rotation Sequence in action over yonder.)

5. Kristin Dos Santos is the slyest of the sly. 

KDS: “You can see where people’s minds are at, right?” Gestures emphatically. “‘Caitriona Balfe’s sister and Sam Heughan’s brother must be also…’”

Sam enthusiastically (with a dash of faux naïveté?): “Yeah, they should get together! And then…”

Cait: Pivot, pivot! But can’t help but smile at the gesticulating goof next to her.

5A. ADDENDUM to Kristin Dos Santos is the slyest of the sly.

Oh, and I forgot to blog this bit.

After this exchange (“‘Caitriona Balfe’s sister and Sam Heughan’s brother must be also…’”) in which Sam enthusiastically agrees and Cait deflects, Kristin DS follows up innocently with,

“It’d make for an interesting family reunion every Christmas, right?”

(KDS: See what I did there.)
