Day 4: Favorite Fergus scene
I had to think about this one a bit. I like Fergus, but some of his best scenes were also traumatic ones and that didn't sit well with me for being a favorite scene although his acting and the cinematography was very well done. I chose a scene from Season 3 Episode 7 Crème de Menthe. This is another episode that seems to get a lot of hate and while it isn't my favorite episode, the scene where Fergus gives Ian lassie advice is classic.
This scene just makes me laugh every time I watch it. I love seeing that Fergus has turned into a big brother of Ian's. Such a great relationship between the two.
Fergus is such a great character and has many great scenes, but he has also lived a very hard life. When we first meet Fergus he was an orphan living in a brothel and stealing from the customers. It is great to see the man he has turned into over the series, the family he has created and the family he is surrounded by. I know Season 6 is very traumatic for him and one of my favorite scenes with him in it, is from that season, but unfortunately it is very hard for me to watch so I chose not to include that here.
You will find that I tend to go for the happier moments. There is so much chaos, and hate in our current world, that I like to revisit the joyful moments when I watch Outlander.

In case anyone wanted to know what shampoo/conditioner/deodorant/etc. Dennis uses, I'm fairly sure I've identified most of what's in here.
Shampoo: Alberto VO5 (Unknown scent. Possibly Tea Therapy - Vanilla Mint Tea or Ocean Refresh)
Note: Pretty sure there's an Ass Kickers United sticker on the top of the cap. My money's on tea therapy, vanilla mint goes better with the conditioner.
Conditioner: Herbal Essences - White Strawberry & Sweet Mint
Deodorant: Speed Stick GEAR (Unknown scent. Only back label is visible. Possible scents: Fresh Force, Cool Motion, Clean Peak)
Toothpaste: Crest Classic
Shaving Cream: Nivea
Seems to have a sponge and a rolled up towel in the center compartment. Two toothbrushes and a small makeup palette with brushes in the outside pockets. Not sure about the sunscreen/lotion. Could be an old bottle of Coppertone or Goldbond (it's extremely difficult to find older designs from around when the episode was shot to cross reference).

I don't mean to brag but I'm as of this morning I'm all done with my Christmas shopping! :D I'm usually the one scrambling at last minute trying to think of ideas but I found a book for everyone on my list that I think they'll enjoy! Very proud of myself honestly. Wishing you an easy search for your holiday shopping and hope there's at least some good mulled wine in your near future! Good vibes be yours! - SMA
Oh this is actually extremely worth bragging about because Christmas shopping is such a terror sometimes. A book for everybody is absolutely incredible and maybe I'll have to aim for that next year because i ADORE receiving books and I don't know if I've ever been given one as a gift really? Like lent from friends and all but never so much 'I bought this with you in mind' and wow I want that for me

Something Eddie had learned during his and Steve’s past few years living in mid-western Massachusetts was that nobody parties harder than middle-aged suburbanites with their young children in the next room.
Sure, it’s a different kind of partying than what Eddie had participated in when he was younger, but still just as impressive, or so he's thinking as he stands in the crowded kitchen of a ridiculous McMansion decorated to the holiday nines, fancy IPA in hand (in a matte can and everything), four days before Christmas.
He's mingling.
Well, he’s kind of mingling. He’s had one eye on Steve, who is on the other side of the kitchen, pretty much the entire time, because Hazel, their youngest daughter, is sacked out and Steve is holding her in one arm as if she’s a newborn still and not a couple months past her first birthday like she really is (it’s providing Eddie with yet another reason he needs that kid to stop growing up, already, because he’ll never get tired of watching that man hold a baby).
Moe and Robbie are…honestly, Eddie doesn’t really know what all the kids get up to at these things. They are loud – and with an unending consistency that makes any silence deafening (and a telltale sign that some type of shit went down that they should probably check in on) – and occasionally one or two of them will barrel through the kitchen on some imaginary mission.
Eddie isn’t really even drinking. Steve is certainly doing enough for the both of them, and his way of getting himself into trouble with the other parents once he’s got a couple beers in him is entertaining enough for Eddie to not need alcohol to get through the night.
“Dude, fuckin’ Dan is making drinks,” Steve tells him early in the evening, “If he offers you a dirty Girl Scout, say no. He’s a father.”
“What the fuck is in that?”
“Vodka, creme de menthe, and chocolate whiskey.”
“Shit, that…actually sounds kind of good.”
“I know, but we’re declining in protest.”
Some time after that, Eddie ends up with Hazel. She’s awake and curiously mouthing at a peppermint cookie when Steve makes his way back to him.
“Lisa is mad at me I think,” he says as he sidles up behind Eddie, pressing himself against his back and wrapping an arm around his waist.
“Watch it, handsy,” Eddie warns him, “There’s children present. What did you do to Lisa?”
“All I said was that maybe the start of a recession isn’t the best time to buy a timeshare and suddenly I have a tone.”
“Well, what did you expect?”
Not even twenty five minutes later, Steve returns.
“Evan’s parents probably aren’t gonna invite us to their New Year’s party,” Steve tells him, with the tiniest slur to his voice that might have worried Eddie if he wasn’t also holding a very large bottle of water.
“Why?”
“I dunno, man. All I said was that the fourth Christmas tree might be compensating for something and it was like I said the Armageddon was coming.”
“Alright, I think it’s time for us to head out.”
