Drunj!Der Yells About Outlander

Thoughts on Ep. 405

MURTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH

The end.

Y’all I haven’t fangirled about an episode of Outlander this much since season fucking one. And can I just say, I fucking missed this feeling. I missed this feeling so fucking much. Comparing this episode to the ones with all of the book dialogue awkwardly crammed in makes me really hope they start throwing the book out the window more and more, and instead just do whatever they want in order to tell a good story.

AND I JUST FUCKING LOVE MURTAGH OK!

PETITION TO LET CLAIRE HAVE FRIENDS WHO DON’T MURDER PEOPLE/GET MURDERED!

Just the mutual respect between Claire and Adawehi gives me the warm fuzzies.

Adawehi: “She is here. No, not in your heart, woman. I mean actually here. Like physically here. Yes, I know you find it comforting to think your daughter is always with you in your heart, but I’m telling you, she can also literally be with you, like in your house.” Claire: “Yeah, it’s really too bad I had to leave her, but at least she’s here in my memories...” Adawehi: “You’re killing me, lady.”

JOKING ASIDE ADAWEHI DESERVED BETTER AND I LOVE HER AND MUELLER IS THE WORST.

Gerhard, not Robert.

I love the white sow with my whole heart.

LOOKIT THESE DOMESTIC FRASERS WORRYING ABOUT HATS AND JERKY.

I’m laughing at Jamie so hard for thinking that Scots are just going to jump at the chance for free land...that ties them to the English government. Like bro, some of the Scots in North Carolina actually give a shit about what the English did to Scotland. And don’t immediately get in bed with them, (especially when it’s common knowledge that they cheat and steal from people) and become the sort of people they fought against.

It’s like Jamie and Claire were like hmmm, our only two options are to move to Boston where we’ll be right in the middle of the revolution or become the colonizing/occupying force we fought against in Scotland. And the rest of the Scots are like nah, bro.

OH HEY JAMIE, WHY YA TAKIN’ THAT CANDLESTICK?! TO GET A RING MADE PERHAPS??? *fangirling intensifies*

“I love bacon.” Same, Young Ian. So much same.

Lady Boner for Frontier!Beauchamp.

Oooh, we’re doing Jamie’s visions are we?

I really do appreciate them doing damage control after last season including Jamie thinking of Bree this season. And I love how ever since Claire came back to Jamie, Bree is still a constant presence in her life. And she continues to live with the cost of her choice to return to Jamie.

Y’all Claire lost her parents. She left Uncle Lamb when she got married. She lost Frank woohoo! when she went through the stones. She lost Jamie after Culloden. And she lost Bree when she went back to Jamie. She’s never really had all of the people who are important to her with her all at the same time. AND IN A COUPLE OF EPISODES SHE WILL AND I CANNOT FUCKING WAIT! I SHIP CLAIRE AND HAPPINESS AND SHE WON’T FULLY HAVE THAT UNTIL HER WHOLE FAMILY IS TOGETHER AND GUYS I HAVE FEELINGS.

Nice hat, Roger MacSeedot.

Miss Baird: “I can see she broke your heart.” Me: *recaps the last couple episodes* Miss Baird: “Actually, she’s better off without you. You’re kind of the worst. Good day to you MacSeedot. I SAID GOOD DAY.

Just noticed that this pic that was tweeted about Wilmington is actually Woolam’s Creek. Lulz.

Ok is this lady flirting with Jamie only supposed to be setting up him telling Bree that he’s a married man? Or else, like, what’s the point? We know Jamie’s not going to cheat on Claire? If this is supposed to be like the Mme Jeanne fake out then hard pass, show.

“That’s a very impressive offer. But you see, the English fucked up our country. Our families. Our lives. And now they cheat and steal from us here, all the way across an ocean. Rent or no rent, I still have my principles.”

“Did six farmers just refuse the offer of land given without charge?”  “There’s no sense in it. Except that it makes them obliged to the English and, you know, as Scots we sort of don’t like them very much. So really I have no clue why they’d turn me down.”

Yo, I fucking love this change, tbh. Jamie’s a dumbass, but I’ve thought that about show!Jamie for a minute now so... Bahahaha. Bro. Rock on, farmers.

“Savages! They steal our water for their horses!” Y’all Mueller is the literal worst. But him being fucking awful, doesn’t mean Jamie and Claire are off the hook for also being fucking colonizers.

But seriously. Gerhard. You are a fucking monster.

“They have no reason to set foot on MY land!” Fuck ALL the way off, bruh.

Claire’s like “Please! I know they’re the literal worst and you’re literally just watering your horses on your own damn land, but please change your behavior to accommodate a racist af colonizer!” Which like, good on her for trying to deescalate the situation, but putting it on the wronged party to change to accommodate the white aggressor still isn’t a good look.

“Water belongs to no one.” Y’all this show claims not to be political, but making this conflict about water is relevant as fuck to the present. (For those who don’t click through to what I link, that’s a profile of the Standing Rock water protectors.)

This episode is really doing a lot to try to frame the Frasers as “good” colonizers. (Look! They make friends with their Cherokee neighbors whose land they’ve stolen! They’re trying to learn the Cherokee language! They respect the knowledge of Adawehi! They know Cherokee customs!) And the Muellers as “bad” colonizers. (This is our land! They shouldn’t be here! Fuck what they’re actually doing, I think they’re cursing us and therefore must murder their witch!) But show, let’s be real. Just like the “benevolent slave owner” is bullshit, the “good” colonizer is also bullshit.

Gerhard Mueller is an unforgivable piece of shit, but that doesn’t mean the Frasers are in the right.

Rollo the body guard is adorable and I 100% want a blooper reel of just him fucking up and Balfe being like OMFG DOG.

Claire tiredly flopping onto the bed is A FUCKING MOOD.

Y’all the Leoch music as Claire does the homestead chores gives me so many feelings. It meant she was starting to feel at home in Jamie’s time and is now signifying her being at home in the place they built together AND I JUST WANT MY BABY TO BE HAPPY OK.

For real though, I fucking love the white sow.

White Sow/Clarence 2020

Claire nudging Rollo out of her food is relatable af. *side eyes my cat*

Claire’s “good morning, ladies!” to the goats is my fucking everything. Also, pretty sure one of the goats is named Persephone and the person who posted this just didn’t know how to spell that. High five for animal name twins! I should get my cat a goat friend...

Claire drinking and being like oh this is gross and then drinking more anyway is also A Mood.

“’Tis my land after all.” Jamie says it in relation to the English. Mueller says it in relation to the Cherokee. Again trying to show a difference between the two, but *looks directly into the camera.*

MURTAGH MOTHERFUCKING FITZGIBBONS FRASER Y’ALL

Lol, I love that in the closed captions, Murtagh’s lines are noted as “Smith” before he turns around. Like we don’t recognized that crotchety voice.

Y’ALL I AM SO FUCKING HAPPY THAT MURTAGH IS BACK.

Oh look, rando flirty woman is back. *hums Say No to This to self*

OMG THE LOOK ON MURTAGH’S FACE WHEN HE HEARS JAMIE’S VOICE IS LIKE THE SAME FACE THAT JAMIE MADE WHEN HE HEARD CLAIRE’S IN THE PRINT SHOP AND I AM SO FULL OF FEELINGS YOU GUYS

YES, HUG IT OUT, GUYS! *JOINS IN THE GROUP HUG FROM MY COUCH* I’M JUST SO HAPPY.

"I’m sorry. Citronella died. They got measles, but at least there were no mosquitoes.”

Gerhard Mueller is totally the sort of person who would shoot up a mosque or synagogue because of some bullshit, racist 4chan conspiracy theory. Entitled white men haven’t evolved at all in the last 200 years...

Yas, Claire, work that gun...

(gif source)

The way Jamie’s face lights up when Murtagh says he can do a bit of silversmithing though.

Y’ALL MURTAGH IS TOTALLY GONNA MAKE CLAIRE’S NEW RING AND THAT ANON I GOT TOTALLY CALLED IT AND I AM 1000% HERE FOR IT OMG YAAAS, SHOW, YAAAS.

Murtagh’s face when he thinks Jamie remarried is amazing. And Jamie sending Young Ian away when Murtagh asks if he married again is hilarious because like “Dude, please don’t blow up my spot about Laoghaire when I haven’t been able to fanboy with my godfather about my time traveling wife yet. And I need to fanboy about my time traveling wife with her literal #1 fan.”

*waits impatiently for Murtagh’s reaction to the Laoghaire marriage news*

For real, his reaction to that is going to be fucking aaaaaaaAAAHMAZINGGGG.

Y’ALL I WANT A CEBRF FANDOM WAR BETWEEN MURTAGH AND YOUNG IAN OVER WHO STANS CLAIRE MORE. “I regularly put my hands in other people’s body cavities for her!” “I’ve been stanning her for twice as long as you’ve been alive, laddie!”

THE CLAIRE ELIZABETH BEAUCHAMP FAN CLUB’S FOUNDING MEMBER IS BACK AND YOUNG IAN BETTER RECOGNIZE.

LOOK AT HIS FACE WHEN JAMIE SAYS THAT CLAIRE CAME BACK! AND HE FUCKING *KNOWS* WHAT THAT MEANS! HE FUCKING PRAYED FOR HER AND HER BABY FOR YEARS AND TO KNOW SHE’S SAFE AND BACK WITH JAMIE AND HIS SHIP REALLY IS ENDGAME AND I’M JUST SO FULL OF HAPPINESS.

Da!Jamie bragging about his kid is endearing afffffffff.

*again side eyes how she was treated in ep. 306*

Ok, but I love that Murtagh doesn’t just like up and change his whole life to rejoin Jamie. It’s been a long time. He has his life. He loves Jame and he loves Claire, but just like they had changed, so has Murtz.

“We’ve had trouble finding tenants.” “Yeah, no shit. Come, Jamie, let me school you.”

Murtagh in a kilt and bonnet while Jamie is in breeks and a tricorn. Murtagh rousing the Scots against the thievery of the English and Jamie trying to get them to become indebted to the English. Which one is truly keeping the spirit of Scotland alive in North Carolina?

I’d bet money that the piece of tartan Murtagh has pinned over his heart is the same piece he’s had with him since Ardsmuir.

Mueller can fuck all the way off with his “we deserve to live because we believe in God” crap.

It *is* their land you fucking piece of shit.

The scene with Mueller when he brings Claire Adawehi’s scalp got me so fucking heated because there are so many white men in this country today who share the same/very similar beliefs to him in regards to various minority groups or people they see as “Other.” Fuck each and every one of those men.

Claire’s funeral for Adawehi is very moving though.

#AdawehiDeservedBetter

You brought this on yourself, Herr Mueller. Good riddance.

But Frau Mueller, yet another woman who is the collateral damage of the shitty actions of men.

Rollo is the least intimidating guard dog ever.

HE REMEMBERS HER SONG AND IT’S LIKE THEIR LITTLE INSIDE JOKE AND HE DOES HIS LITTLE DANCE AND HER FACE AND HIS FACE AND GUYS I AM SO FULL OF FEELINGS AND I LOVE THE TWO OF THEM SO MUCH AND GUYS I AM SO EXCITED FOR MURTAGH TO BE AGGRESSIVELY #TEAMCLAIRE WHEN HE FINDS OUT ABOUT LAOGHAIRE AND FOR HIM TO MEET BREE AND EVEN FOR HIM TO MEET WILLIE AND GUYS THEY SAVED MURTAGH AND I LOVE MURTAGH AND YOU DID A GOOD THING, SHOW.

Ok the letter that Bree left for Roger makes him look even worse for going after her tbh. Like he wasn’t supposed to see it for a year and it was like clearly an “open if I’m dead” thing so like he knows she clearly is intending to come back. But instead of listening to her, he off and does what he thinks is right instead. Which means he’s learned *nothing* since the proposal. Fuck that guy.

Roger really is Frank. He wants a marriage like Frank and Claire had pre-stones. Where it's all about him and what he wants to do and the wife is just along to support him in that endeavor. *gestures at episode 101* Between reading the books again and watching this season, Roger really is the worst and I don't think the show will do anything that comes close to redeeming him since *gestures at how they wrote Jamie last season* so at this point I ship Bree with her damn self. She doesn't need a man to live her fullest life. Especially one like fucking Roger.

Bree is too good for Roger and this is the hill I will die on.

But y’all! Bree’s gonna get to be with her mom again! And meet Jamie! And look hot af in period clothes! AND MEET MURTAGH!

*focuses aggressively on that instead of Rape and Rogergate*

GUYS MURTAGH IS BACK!!!!!!!!!

Y’all know about the Raft of the Medusa?

Théodore Géricault’s Raft of the Medusa is one of the most famous paintings in history, but the story behind it is even more intense.  Now, I’m not gonna try to try and spell a bunch of French names, so instead the main characters will be Surrender Boy #1 and Surrender Boy #2.

So King Surrender was all like “I need to get some more lands to surrender down the line,” and hatched a genius plan of sending the former governor of Senegal, a French colony, to shore things up.  Governor Surrender’s ship was to be captained by King Surrender’s good buddy, Surrender Boy #1, an old drunk that hadn’t captained a ship in over 20 years.

The Surrender Armada made it a few hundred miles off the coast of Senegal when the Nina Pinta Surrender Maria left the other three ships it was with, going straight at the coast.  Because SB1 was all hot to trot with his mistress he brought with him, he put his good chum, the philosopher and artist Surrender Boy #2 in charge of navigation.  Notice, nowhere in SB2′s CV did I mention his navigation skills.

“So why didn’t the other three ships make a beeline to the coast,” you might be wondering...

Well it’s because they had competent crews, and knew the waters were extremely shallow.  And naturally, the frigate Medusa got caught in one of these sandbars hundreds of miles off the coast entirely thanks to SB2′s expert navigation skills.  Also, walkie talkies hadn’t been invented yet.

Story continues after the jump...

OK, so things weren’t great for the Medusa.  Naturally, when one is stuck on a floaty thing that’s lodged in a sandbar, you might think “hey what if we got rid of some weight?”

You know, weight like the 20+ cannons on board?  Or the chests of gold?  You know, things like that that could possibly save the ship?  And of course you know that’s not what happened, because of a) the painting, and b) the way I’m writing this.

Anyways, onboard are the governor and his family, a bunch of aristocrats, soldiers, slaves and artisans...about 400 people total.  NOT on board were enough lifeboats.  Well, we don’t know if that’s actually true or not, because SB1 put his mistress, belongings and some gold chests in a lifeboat and said “I’m good.”

The plan...*heh*...was this.

The lifeboats would tug a hastily constructed raft salvaged from whatever they could tear off the ship.  I’m not joking, this was a legitimate plan that was carried out and executed to completion.  It wasn’t a good plan, but this was thought out.  There were 151 men and supplies who would occupy this raft...being towed by rowboats...through an incredibly choppy, dangerous part of the Atlantic.

Here is that raft.

About 60 feet long and 20 feet wide, this thing was as hastily constructed as “hastily constructed” could be.  Which...god this is just the epitome of gallows humor...was made worse when Cap’n Surrender saw a few clouds, figured it was a fucking hurricane, and ordered the immediate evacuation and launch.

As they loaded supplies and people in, the thing started to submerge, even if it still *technically* floated.  17 men stayed on the Medusa, 146 men and one woman were aboard the raft when it launched.  I don’t have an answer for the discrepancy in numbers, but I like to think that four dudes saw that raft and were like “fuck that,” because...

Dude, they didn’t even make it a day.

After a few hours after they launched, the longboats with the aristocrats in them were all like “uh, this aint gonna work,” and simply cut the lines to the raft.  I imagine they then did this...

Now we have that raft above...seriously, look at that thing again...floating on its own, with no steering, no navigation, no communications, and precious few supplies.  Those supplies were made even fewer after the first night...

That first night, 20 men either killed themselves or were killed in a chaos that none of us could ever imagine in our worst nightmares.  In terms of supplies, all they had on board (due to the rush) was a big bag of biscuits, two casks of water, and five casks of wine.  Almost immediately when the fighting begun, the biscuits and water fell overboard*.

*Which is kind of hilarious if you imagine Donkey Kong throwing the water overboard in the pic at the top

The biscuit bag was retrieved, meaning for as long as they were on this fucking raft, they were eating nothing but handfuls of soggy biscuit paste (*giggles*) and drinking wine.  

They started off with 147 people on board.  After a couple days, they encountered an oceanic storm...more were thrown overboard, killed, or killed themselves...and by the fourth day, only 67 remained, at which point the remaining people on board resorted to cannibalism.  By the eighth day, only 15 remained.

Believe it or not, they were rescued.  They were fucking RESCUED.  Holy fucking shit.  You better believe that justice was served once an account of what went down reached Europe.

Hah, just kidding.  Somehow SB1 was acquitted of abandoning his ship, crew and failing to refloat the ship.  This needs to be mentioned...why?

Because SB1 returned to the fucking shipwreck (laughably before the rescue had occurred) so that he could get the gold he left*.  You know what might have refloated the ship?  DUMPING ALL THAT HEAVY ASS FUCKING GOLD YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE.  Maybe give that a try next time.

*The best part of this is when SB1 went back, 3 men survived out of the 17 that remained onboard the Medusa.  That must have been AWWWWKWARD.

Sorry, tangent...after the smoke cleared, SB1 WAS found guilty of “incompetent and complacent navigation” (which, no he wasn’t...that was SB2) and “abandoning his ship before the passengers” (which doesn’t make sense if he was acquitted of abandoning his ship in the first place).  And, fortunately, this was enough to open him up to a possible death sentence.

He served three years.

The trial was a predictable sham from the beginning.  The new Bourbon court (this went down right after Napoleon realized he was French and surrendered) freaked out over the potential scandal, did everything they could to cover it up, and pretty much succeeded when you think about it.  The governor of Senegal had the stiff penalty of having to resign, despite being a willing rope-cutter...and while I couldn’t find anything on what happened to SB2, I like to think he died in a Senegalese jungle after taking a wrong turn.

Listen, I never promised that there would be a happy ending.

Good morning and happy Beyoncé’s Vogue Cover Reveal Week, a new seven-day holiday I would like to officially submit into the cannon and can we please petition to get this registered on google?

The world officially snapped today, a day I naively mistook for any other as I woke and rolled across my bed to grab my glasses and opened my phone to scroll through Instagram. That’s when I saw it: a photo of Beyoncé standing in front of a quilted bed cover that’s hanging from a washing line in the middle of a green field. With little to no makeup and dressed in a fringed Gucci gown – very casual. I ‘double tapped that shit’ absentmindedly, thinking it was just a pretty pic of Beyoncé. then as I kept scrolling, the rest of the images from the Vogue cover shoot appeared at the top of my feed, one by one. I may not have known Beyoncé’s Cover Reveal Week had begun, but the algorithm sure did.

I went to Vogue’s website to get a better look at the photos and read the accompanying copy. After doing so, I needed to talk about it with someone — not just anyone, though. I needed to talk about it with you, the person reading these words on this screen, because here’s the thing: As one of the most iconic creators of our time, there is a story behind every image and word she puts out into the world, and Vogue’s September issue is no exception. Read my suggested list of talking points below and meet me in the comments when you’re done. Let’s have a chat!

1. Despite it being 2018, this is the first ever American Vogue cover shot by a black photographer.

“Until there is a mosaic of perspectives coming from different ethnicities behind the lens, we will continue to have a narrow approach and view of what the world actually looks like,” Beyoncé says in the issue’s as-told-to feature. The photographer’s name is Tyler Mitchell and he is 23 years old. This is history-making.

2. Even the ‘Flawless’ queen had to work to achieve body positivity.

“After the birth of my first child,” she says, “I believed in the things society said about how my body should look. I put pressure on myself to lose all the baby weight in three months and scheduled a small tour to assure I would do it.” Her perspective shifted after her second pregnancy when she gave birth to twins Rumi and Sir: “I embraced being curvier,” she writes. “I accepted what my body wanted to be.”

3. A six pack is only right when you do it for yourself.

 “I have a little mommy pouch, and I’m in no rush to get rid of it,” she says. “I think it’s real. Whenever I’m ready to get a six-pack, I will go into beast zone and work my ass off until I have it. But right now, my little FUPA and I feel like we are meant to be.” Whenever. With that word, Beyoncé effectively unravels the stringent timeline that is placed on postpartum women to make their bodies look like they never grew a baby inside them as quickly as possible. Whenever. Maybe now, maybe in ten years, maybe never. She’s in no rush.

 4. She ain’t sorry: Queen B opens up about the ups and downs of her marriage.

 “I come from a lineage of broken male-female relationships, abuse of power, and mistrust,” she says. “Only when I saw that clearly was I able to resolve those conflicts in my own relationship.” She also pieces together the roots of her ancestry in America — a slave owner who fell in love and married a slave: “I had to process that revelation over time. I questioned what it meant and tried to put it into perspective. I now believe it’s why God blessed me with my twins. Male and female energy was able to coexist and grow in my blood for the first time.”

 5. A musical epiphany while preparing for #Beychella.

 “I was working on a version of the [black national] anthem with these dark minor chords and stomps and belts and screams,” she says. “After a few days of humming the anthem, I realized I had the melody wrong. I was singing the wrong anthem. One of the most rewarding parts of the show was making that change. I swear I felt pure joy shining down on us.”

6. Representation matters.

 “As the mother of two girls, it’s important to me that they see themselves too — in books, films, and on runways,” she says. “It’s important to me that they see themselves as CEOs, as bosses, and that they know they can write the script for their own lives—that they can speak their minds and they have no ceiling.” Representation matters.

 7. Last season Gucci is actually current season Gucci. 

 As pointed out by The Cut, this choice is quite atypical for a September issue cover shoot. September cover stars usually wear clothes from fall collections — a.k.a. the stuff that brands are currently trying to sell. She also wears a checkered dress from Louis Vuitton’s cruise collection, a frothy toile-skirted gown from Dior’s cruise collection and a custom suit by menswear designer Wales Bonner. The clothes themselves weren’t the only deviation from the norm, though: Vogue’s Tonne Goodman joined forces with Kwasi Fordjour, one of Beyoncé’s creative directors, as well as her usual team of stylists. Ultimately, it seems as though Beyoncé was given complete creative control over how she would appear, even if that meant seriously shaking up the status quo.

8. Y’all need to know that Bey is sexier than ever!

“I now feel so much more beautiful, so much sexier, so much more interesting,” she says. “And so much more powerful.”

I mean can you blame her? Sound off in the comments.
