Outlander S07E08 "Turning Points"

Why did you do that? Because, Claire... for the second time in his life, I've come within an inch of shooting my son. The first was the night of his birth. And I thought all at once, "What if I dinna miss a third time?" I thought I must at least try to speak to him once, as a man, in case it was my only chance.

Last movie: Asteroid City

Sweet/Savory/Spicy: Spicy! Though I do have a sweet thooth too...

Stats tag game

@narastories tagged me and this seems like a fun way to procrastinate for a few minutes 💖. (Also please go to Nara's post and read those fics of hers! You're in for such a treat, seriously.)

I'm limiting my answers to my Outlander fics. I haven't removed my old SPN stuff, but we don't need to talk about them.

most hits (15,878): Whatever it Costs, co-authored with @iihappydaysii, which is a multi-chapter Jamie/John canon divergence, so yeah. It's the most hits BY FAR. My solo fic with the most hits is More Eloquent Than Words (number 2 on my stats page) and has 6,725 hits.

fewest hits (89): Hot Patootie, from my Songs about Getting By series. Huh. That one is kind of a surprise.

most kudos (515): Whatever it Costs, again by a country mile. My solo fic with the most kudos is No More Should, (255 kudos) which I gotta say is a little surprising that it's that high up the list, but it makes me happy that that one got so much love.

fewest kudos (6): With Kaleidoscope Eyes, which is a drabble from the Songs About Getting By encore set.

most comments (259): Take a Sad Song! Now, it might be because that's my fic with the most chapters and some very wonderful readers commented on more than one chapter.

fewest comments (0): With Kaleidoscope Eyes again, not surprising. It's a drabble, there's not much to comment on lol.

most bookmarks (162): Whatever it Costs

fewest bookmarks (0): The Bard and Lady Fair. 😂 What, no one wants to come back and revisit Harry Quarry/Benedicta Grey? I can't imagine why not

most words (105,980): Take a Sad Song, my chonky baby

fewest words (100): Friends Can Kiss, officially, based on sorting my stats page. I have a bunch of drabbles though, which are all 100 words precisely and in this series.

Zero pressure tags for: @meditating-honey-badger, @iihappydaysii, @saltybenchday, @faccal, and anyone else who'd like to play 💖

Comfort stuff game

Thank you @saltybenchday for tagging me <3

Comfort movie: If it really has to be a movie then Oscar(1991) but in practice it’s most likely a random episode of Lucifer

Comfort food: something spicy: home-made Tom Yum soup, takeout Indian, spicy noodles, etc.

Comfort clothing: pajama pants and an oversized t-shirt that has been washed so many times it has gone super soft

Comfort song: this is really hard because I like so many different songs but I’m going to say “Ask the Lonely” by Journey and @mistresspandorawritesthings will know why I can’t listen to this song without getting a huge smile on my face <3

Comfort book: don’t say Small Favor audiobook, don’t say you have Nic’s parts bookmarked for easy ASMR access uhh quick think of something else... Joanne Harris Rune books!!!! (hah! I fought off the brainrot)

Comfort game: VA-11 Hall-A: Cyberpunk Bartender, easy

OUTLANDER 4.06

-Well, you appear well after all this time. -It is the mountain air, I expect.

[littlecrabbs]

I read @saltybenchday 's Black Sails Outlander crossover fic Hope in the Shadows and have been obsessed with it ever since, especially with the idea of William Ransom and John Silver becoming best buds. Those two are always up to shenanigans sooo of course I had to draw them getting drunk together.

Holly really combined two of my favorite things into one fic and it has altered my brain chemistry forever. I am so in love with this fic😍 thank you Holly Mack for writing Hope in the Shadows♥✨

#fic fanart #fanfiction fanart #outlander #black sails #William Ransom #William Fraser #John Silver #long John silver #putting these two things together make me so happy you have no idea #you should totally go read it btw #I endorse it #littlecrabbs #saltybenchday

Last Line Game

God, I don’t normally do these games, thank you @saltybenchday for the ask.

The rules are... share the last line you wrote and tag the number of people per how many words you wrote, or something like that.....

This WIP is going pretty badly. I started it in December last year, it has only 1300 words so far, and it is a rarepair . Lord John and X, and there are NO other fics about this guy. I have made this mistake before with my Manoke and John story.

The man swore in Gaelic, took the quill, made a swirl, spat on the grass in disgust as he picked up the despised uniform and stomped off past the sullen line of his fellow countrymen.

Anyone else can have a go.

Get to know me

Tagged by:@meditating-honey-badger - Thanks for tagging me!

Rules: Tag nine people you want to get to know better (for once I’m actually going to try to tag the required number of people.... WHY NINE THOUGH)

Three ships: Listen, I will ship almost anything, don’t limit me with numbers. But gun-to-the-head-pick-three-or-else..... Jamie/John, Loustat, and Destiel. LJG fandom, we HAVE to come up with better ship names. The canon ship is Claimie ffs, we can do better than that.

First ship: Uhhhhhh ..... Buffy/Angel. I think. Destiel was my first non-canon ship and believe me when I say you do NOT want your ships becoming canon.

Fave colour: Purple. Although I’ve been vibing with teal lately, but still purple.

Last song: “Smoking in the Boys Room” by Motley Crue.

Last movie in the theater: Thor: Love and Thunder. Y’ALL. Make sure you have your bi panic before you see that one. Or it WILL be triggered. Also King Valkyrie, my beloved, please marry me.

Last show: Interview with the Vampire. If you have not seen it, you should.

Currently watching: HA Beth you’re funny. You know I’m not watching anything until we pick up with season 3 of @lordjohnlander 😂 Unless another season of Interview comes out before then. Or I actually finish The Mayfair Witches...

Currently reading: 😬 *IN THEORY* I am reading The Vampire Lestat for the second or third time, and How Your Book Sells Itself by Bethany Atazadeh and Mandi Lynn. But reading is hard lately so I’m just trying my best here.

Currently working on: Editing the season 2 finale of Lord Johnlander and two original novels as my alter ego @evybuchanan

Current obsession: Well YouTube seems to think it’s Motley Crue because it keeps pushing content about them or with their music sooooo. Honestly, I’m just trying to live through another day in fucking paradise.

Okay I am actually going to try tagging nine people. No pressure if you don’t wanna. Also sorry if you get tagged more than once because of me LOL. ... @saltybenchday​, @littlecrabbs​, @tinyfrenchowl​, @faeriesfanficblog​, @dyallonpostsfics-blog​, @derpandabar​, @narastories​, @iihappydaysii​, @deanwinchesterangelfucker​

Okay the hardest part was counting to nine 🤦‍♀️ And I do math for a living good lord.

[levisqueaks]

Y'all know what the best part of today was?

The asshole anon who spent all their time and attention trying to break us down and isolate us brought us all together instead. A huge shout out to everyone who had to deal with the fuckery and also came out in support of those who were attacked.

Thank you.
